Among the Shadows

Summary: What if things were flip in another alter universe? What if Bella was in Edward's place as the vampire and vise verse in the Twilight series? Edward is a human and knows nothing about the world of vampires. He just moved from Chicago with he's mother after the divorce to Forks, Washington. What will happen when Edward first meets the Cullen's? Could Jessica or Lauren be any more annoying around Edward on he's first day at Forks High?

A/N: I thought of this what if thing. How would Edward be in Bella's shoes and vise verse? Oh Bella is a shield so no swapping powers lol. And what's Bella's new story as being a hundred year old vampire?

Rating M: I'm not sure about the rating right now but I'll keep it mature in case.

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or any of it's rights belong to Stephanie Meyer :)

Chapter 1

The Divorce

Loud noises of cars echo across my room. People working on construction tearing down another old building and replacing it. The streets full over people as they spend their days busy of themselves.

I'm use to the city life. Being here all my life is all I know. Born here in Chicago was the beginning of my life, when my parents married at a young age. I love it here.

I'm part of my school's honors class and baseball team. Here I spend with my friends hanging in the late afternoons. I stay behind after school practicing with me team mates for upcoming seasons.

Kyle, one of my friends,told me we need extra practice since we enter state champion. I was proud this after of hearing that. Only the beginning of my junior year we made it to the finals.

Pushing personal things aside besides my school work, I practice like my life depend on it. I was kind of behind my chemistry class but caught up with the help of Andy. We only talk in Chemistry class though I offer him to hang with me and my friends. He denied.

Speaking of personal things I had to push away during baseball season was an ex of mine. Yes, I've dated in school. I'm not like Chase my other best friend who goes out with girls left and right. Well he changes girls like he changes he's underwear.

To be honest, I dated about five in my life. I was so call popular in my school. I don't go for looks only but for their personality. It's hard to explain, the right guy meets the right girl. Plain and simple.

I don't think Kyle is any better. Not only he plays baseball but for football. He's a "big" hit for the ladies, I guess. Unless that's what Heather thinks after he broke it off with her. She didn't care at the least saying it was he's popularity that gain favor for her.

It's all sad no days how people act. No one cares for the word "love". There I said the four little letter. It's small but a big meaning behind it. What's funny Heather tried to get with me. I politely told her I wasn't interested. All she had to say "Well it's your lost". I'm glad she wasn't the clingy type or the annoying type. The annoying type as I'm every corner I turn to I have break my neck to escape or she'll me.

None of the girls were the one for me. Closest one was Janna,which lasted four months. I thought she was the one but being caught cheating is a big no on my part. I dumped her the next day saying I can't be with a someone I can't trust. Here I am single and proud to me. I have a lot going in my head.

I constantly think and think. Anyone I know I read them like a book. Maybe my mind is too clear to catch on to anyone. At times even my parents don't understand me and how I function. It doesn't bother in the slightest. It's like a second nature to me when it comes to anyone,I just know what their thinking at times.

It's the second week of school. Same thing like the last two years. Even it's a big school drama is like fire it's spreads quickly. Rumors are far off more worse. Some you can get rid of as people wont drop the conclusion. People should know that rumors are just said words that either are made up or not true. In rare cases, rumor can be true when it comes to someone like Heather.

My friends are part of the stirring pot of drama. I try staying out of it as best I could. That's me I do what I want to that doesn't evolve other people. I'm more of a thoughtful quiet person. School work and my future is far more important then someone bickering about whomever.

"So is it true?"

I heard a familiar ringing female voice in my hear. It was Janna. I jump unexpectedly. I hated how her loud mouth is. She gotten more worse after our breakup.

"What's true, Janna," I said annoyingly.

What has happen to include me in the mix up? I wasn't in the mood. Janna is the last person I wanted to even talk to early this morning.

"That your moving," Janna said rising her eyebrows.

Oh,boy? Who told her about me moving? Okay what she said was true. This is the rare occasion of a true rumor. Now I'm apart of the "talk" around school.

I swallow my bite of my breakfast pizza and looked at Janna with one raised eyebrow,"Yes! Who told you this?"

Janna smiled. I hated this! Her personality is like a she-devil. Since last year she changed into a harpy gossip witch. Now I'm question my self, What did I ever seen in her? I just don't like anyone in my business!

"Well, I over heard you and Andy talking in class," Janna shrugged stilling keeping that smile on her face.

"And," I asked.

"And your parents are going through a divorce," Janna said,"How sad. I really feel for you Edward. I'm here if you ever want to talk about it."

Wow, she's drawing that card before me leaving? What is she trying to get out of this? Yes, I'm going through some kind of depression. My old man and my mom are splitting. I've just turned seventeen and they have to go and do this. Plus, I had to choose to stay with one parent. No teenager want to see a family splitting while deciding their own future.

I had one more year to go to be an illegal adult until this happen. I have two more years of high school left before college. Everything was bringing me down. My parents didn't think of me when going through this. I'm their only child since my mom can't have anymore. I'm the miracle baby. I guess I'm no longer a so called miracle baby now my family is falling apart.

So much of my emotions are building up. I have to face the face I have to move. My dad or my mom wasn't from Chicago but moved her after marrying. My dad was lucky getting a good job here to pay more then enough for us.

Shaking my head, I ignored Janna. I had to think about. I haven't decided who I want to go with when moving. My dad wants to go to Atlanta and continue working there. He was from a town outside of Atlanta, so he wants to be near he's parents. My mom,on the other hand, wants to move close by Seattle, Washington.

Sometimes my mom is complicated to understand. I have no clue why she wanted to moved there of all places. Her mother past away couple years ago due to cancer. My grandfather lives close by as a physician. He wasn't the same since my grandmother past but he hanged in there.

Forks,Washington was my moms' final decision on a place to move. She told already told me how sick she was of the city. The city is all I know. I thought on trying to see the outside world then just the city. I finally came to my own decision as well to go with mom. I know it'll hurt dad, but I'll see him when I can. Of course, my grandfather wanted to go with us. He wanted to stay close to one of he's daughters as the other one we rarely speak too.

"So,your going to ignore me now after I offer to help you cope about your parent's divorce," Janna whined.

"I have too much on my mind to think about,Janna, but thanks for the offer. I'll just do fine without your help," I said quite rudely giving Janna a go-to-hell look.

I'm not complaining, but Janna isn't a wise choice. We dated four months and now I'm really done to even by around her. I think so wanted to use me before I leave. You know labeling yourself a price tag. I was no virgin. I regretted it but I have to look forward. I wasn't going to make another stupid decision with Janna.

I got up and left the lunch table. Sighing, I throw away from food. I wasn't very hungry. Usually I get and got over whatever bother me. This time was worse. My mom made her mind on leaving my dad and he also agreed. There wasn't no second chances on the marriage.

All I have to do is remain calm. I have to worry more about me. My future is my future is the only think I can look forward too. It's the only thing I know to be happy. My world is my playground after high school. Now I have to get through two years.

Walking outside,it was still water droplets on the concrete signaling morning. I needed fresh air. I know what Janna going to do. She's going to gossip and she's the last thing I needed on my mind.

"Hey!"

Another familiar voice got me out of my thoughts. This time I knew I needed to worry. Kyle wasn't going to fuss at me like Janna. If he did I would just laugh. Kyle acting like a harpy? I think he wouldn't do that.

"Hey Eddy, What's up," Kyle said as he sit down near by bench.

I join him on the bench. Besides Andy, Kyle was a good friend. I trusted Andy and Kyle. Yeah, I'm going to miss them.

"So," he started off looking at the ground then at me," I heard a little ugly bird told me your moving?"

I only nodded my head. Janna told my friend and probably the others about what's going on with me. During the summer my parents were having it out. The divorce became finally last Wednesday. I was only starting the second week now at school. I only shake my head at my thoughts.

"Man, sorry about your parents," Kyle said shaking he's head too,"Well you don't have to deal with anymore bullshit."

I shrug,"You can said that again. I have no choice to move. It's either ATL or Washington state."

"Damn, your really going to haul ass across the United States," Kyle said while laughing.

"I finally chosen where to go and that's Washington state to a small town called Forks."

"What about the Spoons," Kyle said.

I had to laugh at that one. I punch him in he's arm as he held it out of amusement pain. Kyle can be a damn good joker when needed. We both laugh at the lame joke which I need a good laugh. I can only shake my head as I continually laugh at Kyle. My sour mood lifted a little. Like I said before,I'm going to miss this place and it's bullshit.

"Which parent your going to move with," Kyle asked as he begin digging in he's pocket for he's cigs.

"I'm leaving with mom. I thought going to a small town will do better. I want to get away from the city for awhile and see what's it like," I said shrugging feeling uncertain now,"Grandpa is coming along and going to start a shift at the hospital there."

"Your grandpappy going too? It'll do him good to find a date at a bingo club then," Kyle said as he lit he's cig and smoking it.

He offer me one. I decline. At first, thought it would smooth out the nerves I'm having but I didn't want to get fuss at from mom. She hated when I smoke, so being a good boy today would do her some good. I know she has a lot on the brain too.

"Maybe I'll get him hitch," I said laughing.

Kyle snickered. I looked at him wondering what's so funny.

"Hey, Maybe there's a old nursing home there in spoonville for him to find a blind days,"Kyle laugh,"Get it "blind" date."

"Wow, your really funny that I forgot to laugh," I laugh on the inside not showing it,"Here comes the old pervert, .

Kyle hurry and put out he's cig. I knew he was disappointed to only get a few drags.

was a old pervert acting like he's cool with the guys here,though he's in he's forties. One year, he took a girls phone away. How he did it was snatching the phone after the girl put it between her legs sitting down saying she wasn't going to give her phone to him. took the phone and was sued. He won the case the damn bastard.

I guess I won't miss much from the bull here only the good friends I have. I promise Kyle to keep in touch with him and Andy. I have friend inside and out the baseball team but people I don't fully trust. Kyle was the fun kind of friend I wanted as a brother. Andy was like a little bro I wanted to, who keeps anything I said secretly. It pains me I have to leave tomorrow. What a fun Friday it is today.

School today went by fast. I said my goodbyes. The team was upset losing a good player. I bid them farewell. I flip off Janna as I walked out to my car. I heard laughter from my friends and I even heard Heather laugh too. I didn't care it was time for me to get going to the apartment to pack up.

This afternoon was busy like this morning. Everyday the same. People were like busy ants. Going to work and coming home. Building and rebuilding. The same every single day. Would I miss this place? I once thought about again. All I can come up with was Chicago was where I was born, it's all I know.

I help my mom pack her stuff. She had a lot she wanted to come with her. I was packing this morning before leaving for school, so I didn't had much to pack up this afternoon.

Dad was someone else. I guess he was avoiding mom. I wonder where my dad was. All I could guess was at the bar or something. I was too afraid to ask mom.

"Where is flat iron," my mom went to and from her bathroom looking for it. I had to roll my eyes. How would I keep up with her stuff. It's going to be a long night. We leave early in the morning. I could only guess my mom wanted to stay the hell away from dad. They weren't talking for most of the past few months all while acting they didn't know each other even though they lived in the same apartment.

I kicked something and found what my mom was looking for. It was by the bed. I picked it up only having it quickly grabbed by my mom,"Thank you Edward, sweetie, I knew you would find it for me."

Rolling my eyes again, I kept packing. I made sure I didn't break anything. I finally finish the packing and headed to my room to finish a few things in there before bed time. I felt lost like a sheep from its heard. I wanted closure of what happen between my parents. I quickly dismiss the thought knowing I wouldn't get any answers from neither one of them. The only person I can talk to is grandpa. Or try talking to him. He was just as bad as mom sometimes. I shrug and went to sleep after drinking cold milk with ice cubes. The only thing to help me go to sleep at night. I'm so ready for tomorrow's move. I sigh, I'm ready to get things over with.

Please review pretty please but I hope anyone likes this story and thank you :)
