This is a fanfiction surrounding the Edward and Bella romance. It's a little late, but I still love the Twilight series.

Bella resides in America, but is taking a trip to Europe. Here she meets Edward, a European student, who surprisingly takes interest to her. They fall in love, but she can't stay in a foreign country forever. Would they meet again?

Chapter One- Sad Goodbyes

The Washington International Airport was busier than expected. All around, there were different people doing various things: eating, sleeping, and running to their gate. I, on the other hand, was always punctual.

In my hands I held my bags, secretly nervous of my trip to Europe. My parents, Renee and Charlie, were both sad to see me go. Although, I can assume that they would enjoy their private time.

"Oh, honey," my mother exclaimed. "We'll miss you so much!" She was obviously holding back tears. I knew she wouldn't cry. She would be concerned that she would ruin my trip.

My father just nodded in approval of what my mom said, and hugged my tenderly.

"I'm going to miss ya kid." He leaned in closer, and whispered, "And your cooking." He was most concerned about food, of course.

My father was unsuccessful in his attempt to whisper, and my mother hit him.

"I'll be fine," I tried to speak reassuringly. But, I was really trying to convince myself.

In truth, I had no idea of what was ahead of me. I had never been anywhere other than Forks, Washington. I had never experienced something so… different.

These thoughts were in my head as I entered security, where my parents could no longer follow me.

"Bye, Sweetie!" my mother practically screamed. My father attempted to hush her, but without success. She proceeded to yell, but was ultimately stopped by a middle aged security guard. She looked disappointed.

I turned around, shedding a silent tear- almost a tear of joy.

The process of checking each individual person was grueling; although, the security system didn't seem too overly concerned about an 18 year old pale teenager. I got out without any problems and proceeded to my gate.

I felt as if I needed to do this for myself. I needed to be alone and independent for a while.

Because of my punctuality, I would be staying there for another two hours. I sat down in one of the uncomfortable airport chairs. Gate 17 was almost empty, except for girl that looked like a fairy.

She was small with a petite figure, and had short black hair that poked in all directions. She had impeccable fashion choices, all brand names. I would have rolled my eyes, but she had a kind persona. She was reading a novel. It was titled "Romeo and Juliet." I admired her choice of literature.

There had been thirty seconds of comfortable silence before she introduced herself.

"Hi! I'm Alice," she practically squealed. She looked eager for my response.

"I'm Bella."

"Hm. Bella, I like it. And Bella, why are you going to Europe?" Wow. She wasn't shy.

"Oh, I'm travelling. I just finished high school, so I figured, why not?"

She looked shocked. I was about to ask what was wrong but she beat me to it.

"Me too!" She yelled. I tried to ignore the annoyed glances we were receiving. I didn't know Alice enough to tell her to be quiet.

"That's great. Maybe we could stick together." This made her very excited.

Over the next two hours, we talked about a lot of things. Her energy never wavered. I learned that she was meeting her brother there; I think his name was Edward. She had a family here in Washington, and sure enough, in my home town.

By the time she finished her monologue, the flight attendants were calling zones to board the airplane.

Sure enough, I and Alice shared a row.

Being as clumsy as I was, I had a hard time packing away my bag and sitting down. Alice, unlike I, was graceful and was easily able to pack away her designer bags.

The flight from the US to Europe was long enough for I and Alice to have lengthy converations.

"So. Do you have a boyfriend?"

I coughed on the cheap coffee I was drinking. "Um, no."

"Dating was never really my thing."

"Oh," she seemed disappointed. "Well, maybe you'll take a liking to my brother." She subtly winked.

"I don't think so. I'm leaving home to be alone." She appeared to be upset. I hoped I hadn't hurt her feelings. I actually liked spending time with her. She made up for the enthusiasm that I so desperately needed.

"But I'd like to stay with you," I said as cheerfully as possible.

"Great!" she said and looked away, as if planning our itineraries already.

I was getting tired, so I decided to close my eyes. Hours later, I found myself being jolted awake by the landing airplane.

"You're up!" Alice exclaimed.

I groaned.

She continued on about how exited she was and I zoned off, nodding occasionally. I was really thinking about what was to come.

When the flight attendants had announced that it was safe to exit the plane, I and Alice were the first to leave. It was evident that we were both exited, so people moved.

The dynamic of the airport was much different than our small airport back home. We had a hard time locating the bag terminal, despite all of the signs and arrows.

Once we received help, countless times, we arrived at the check in bag collection. I figured that it would be the best option because I was staying for a whole month. Alice had been thinking the same thing.

There were many impatient faces; it usually took a while for the red light to turn on and the bags to come out. So, we had about twenty minutes to talk.

After a small amount of time, Alice decided to speak. She looked as if she were holding something to herself. "My brother Edward is coming to help me. Well, I guess, us. I think she expected be to be upset.

"Okay?" I didn't understand the problem.

"Well, Edward is… you could say, attractive. All the girls go after him, and I loose friends over it. He is quite arrogant about his looks." She was breathing heavily. It was a lot to say. She continued, "So just, please, don't become so mesmerized that you forget me."

Wow, was she exaggerating. "Alice, a guy, no matter how attractive, will make me forget about you." She didn't look reassured.

"You'll see." She looked off in another direction, in anticipation. I had my back to whatever- or whoever- she was looking at.

I turned my head and began to speak to Alice about her false accusations. "Alice, you are exaggera-"

At that moment, I saw who I presumed to be Edward.

He was beautiful. He had messy bronze hair, rugged features (but soft, in a way), and emerald green eyes. His grey shirt hugged his perfect body in just the right way. I couldn't help mysleft fro looking him up and down. We met eyes, onced I reached his face. I blushed, obviously flustered.

I could've sworn that I saw a cocky smile, but it vanished just as fast as it appeared. I thought he was coming at me, until he swept right passed me; leaving the scent of a warm cologne. I didn't know who he was heading to until I heard a familiar screech.

"Edward!" Alice yelled, oblivious to the watching eyes surrounding us.

"Ali!" He responded, in a smooth and velvety voice. He swooped her up into his arms, as if she weighed nothing. "Oh, Ali, I missed you so much."

They finished their extensive greetings and Alice turned to me. "Edward, this is Bella. She just so happened to be travelling to London, as well."

He extended his hand to me, which I took, after I shook myself out of the Edward induced haze that I was in.

"Nice to meet you." He calmly stated. "I'm Edward, although, I believe you already knew that."

"Yes," I replied shakily. "Alice told me about you on the flight over." I realized that I had been staring into his eyes when he turned back to Alice.

"Right this way ladies," he spoke, turning to the indicated exit just a few feet away.

He seemed to have picked up the accent, making him even more attractive. Alice noticed my apparent swooning and elbowed me.

Out of hearing distance, she whispered, "Keep it in your pants!" I would be annoyed if I were her too.

I heard a deep and quiet chuckle. Alice!
