A/N: Hi, firstly I haven't been on this site for ages. Well I have read on this site but not actually wrote. So hopefully you will notice the change in my writing- for the better; if you have read my other stories Silent cries and Taking chances. This story is going to have a few twist's, cliff hangers and all the usual. Its not like my other stories. My spelling Is getting better- I think. Were doing creative writing at school so Hopefully that will help. R&R.
Summary: I caught sight of his pale figure which pressed against the wall. His freezing body was already wet and if he didn't get help soon he'd probably stave to death or die of hypothermia. I could leave him there. As I got closer to his nearly-life-less body, I realised, it was him.

Chapter one- Bella's new life.
*Bella's POV*
I watched the rain dance across the pavements; the trees rocking from side to side and the streets lights glaring. Darkness appeared in every corner of the street. I shrived and snuggled up into my warm and inviting bed. I tried to imagine my perfect life but no matter how much I tried, I was haunted by my past.
Both my parents had died in a horrific house fire. I wasn't there. I was at my best friend- Ex best friends house, Edwards. But I was told it was horrific. Several fire-fighters had attempted to rescue my mother(Renee) and father(Charlie), but it was too late, there lives had been cut short to the burning flames and choking smoke. And to make matters worse, I couple of days later Edward, aged nineteen at the time, had done the same. Disappeared and not said a word. No goodbye, nothing.
Was the fire an accident or an arson attack. It was a question on a lot of peoples minds. But no one knew the answer. No one. Its been a year since the death of my parents; the heart break; to put it lightly the worst period of my life. I'm nineteen myself know and finally think its time, for a change. I chance to start my life again, and leave everything behind.
I had bought a small apartment, with the money from my parents house. Its nothing special but its not in Phoenix! Its in Forks, somewhere different, were no body knows me. Two bedrooms, living room, bathroom and a small outside area to 'relax' in.
My hand gripped around my apartment key, its jagged ends pressed against my skin. I embraced myself before sliding the key into the lock, I took a deep breath and entered my new apartment. It was smaller than I expected, but I liked that. It wasn't exactly five-star but I didn't want that either. I opened the door to the first room, which lead to the living and dinning area. The living room had a small telly, a couch and a coffee table. The dining room, a small table and two chairs and the kitchen had the basic's. My new bedroom was decorated in lilac walls and floors with a small bed. It had all the basics, that I needed.
I dumped my suitcases in the door-way. They only had my clothes, photos, laptop and mobile phone. I left most of my other stuff, I never got attached to my personal-belongings. The apartment wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and the window view was quite nice. Relaxing a peaceful, trees and grass, that type of stuff.
I looked at the clock, in the living room, which was hanging on the wall by my telly. It was ten o'clock. I decided to go to bed because I would need to catch on some rest because I was started a new job tomorrow. It Didn't pay much but it was a start. It was 'Pete's café' It was a couple of streets away from my apartment. I switched of the telly with a sigh and headed to bed.
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP! I shot up to the sound of my alarm. I let out a tied moan, and reached for the 'off' button on my alarm clock, with my eyes still shoot. I hated early mornings and at six o'clock I consider this to be the crack of dawn and way to early for me. But needs must. After a couple of minutes I opened my eyes and adjusted them to the light. As soon as the light was bearable I sat up. Bad Idea! My bedroom mirror was at the opposite side of my bed, and I almost chocked on my teeth when I caught sight of myself! My hair was sticking up on edge; yesterdays mascara and eyeliner smeared across my face and massive bangs hung under my eyes.
I pulled my one leg out of bed, the cold air hit against it, making my body shiver. I pulled my other leg out and my body followed. I quickly fixed my hair, in to a messy bun- fixing it in place with hair stray and my natural looking makeup. I got changed into a gray v-neck T-shirt and gray 'trackies' (tracksuit bottoms). After I was ready, I drank a large mug of coffee. Which woke me up a little. I grabbed my keys, mobile phone and purse and headed out the door.
I battled against the wind and the rain and tried to stay on two feet. I didn't want to turn up to work on my first day looking like I have been dragged through a head backwards! Once I reached 'Pete's café' I got more nervous. I felt like a child again, starting the first day of school.
''Isabella, Swan?'' I man around his thirties, asked as I headed to the counter.
''Just call me Bella.'' I corrected him, with a polite smile on my face.
''Ok then, Bella, I'm Peter, welcome to your first day at work. Alright I would like you to make a start on cleaning the tables. It will get quite busy in here so, Alice Will be helping you.'' , He started pointing to a small pixie like character. ''I am sure you are aware that you hours are from seven thirty AM, till three o'clock and you dinner break is at eleven thirty till twelfth thirty.'' He continued.
''Ok.'' I smiled, grabbing myself a cloth, to start on cleaning tables.
After about five minutes of cleaning tables. Alice, the pixie-like girl walked over to me.
''HELLO! I'm Alice! I never got to introduce myself earlier… Well yes I'm Alice Hale! Well technically my name is Alice Brandon, in till I'm married to my fiancé…'' she smiled excitedly as she held out her hand to show me her, by-the-looks-of-it expensive ring.
''Wow! Slow down. Al-Alice. We have met, for like what, barley a minute and I already know most of you life story!'' I joked, while letting out a chuckle.
''Ok! Ok! How about we get to know each other, other dinner, tonight?'' She asked with a small grin.
''Dinner? Already.'' I chuckled, in a shocked tone.
''Why not? I'll bring Rosalie, my best friend, Jasper my finance, and Emmett Rosalie's boyfriend and Jasper 's cousin.'' She smiled. I laughed again.
''Ok, slow down, I have only just met you. And your already asking me to dinner; telling me your life story and introducing me to you family!'' I smiled.
''Please, I hate it in this dump theirs no one to talk to and I could do with a bit of company and Rose would love you!'' Alice smiled. I couldn't say no! She had short black hair and forest green eyes and the biggest smile.
''Ok, what time? And where will we meet, I have only just got here.'' I smiled.
We exchanged numbers, so we could set up a time and place. I felt quite relieved that I had found a friend! A small, crazy, excitable, pixie friend, but a friend that I'm sure will keep me smiling over the next couple of years of working here.
After cleaning like the tenth table, I was planning on what to wear, how to style my hair and what to say. I had only ever had one friend which was Edward, and he had left a year ago, so I wouldn't really know what to say or do! They would all know each other, and then there would be me. 'Billy no mates!'
