1. Preface

Love You Much Better

Full Summary: Bella Swan had been through so many friend crises in life that gaining her trust was hard, and giving her love was even harder. Her emotions had been deadened by death, loneliness, and lack of self-esteem. As she becomes comfortable in her reclusive behavior and she moves to Forks to get away from the suffocating amount of silence in her life, she begins to believe what her first friend had once told her: "You will never be loved."

On the other side of Forks, Edward Cullen has been waiting for his love for over 100 years. Being surrounded by happy mates has only pushed him to believe in independence, and how he will always be alone.

As their troubled lives slowly become entangled, each must learn to find confidence in themselves as well as in their connected futures.

A/N: This is a BellaxEdward story. I don't know if Jacob will be in it yet, but that pair won't happen. It is a humanxvampire story, just so you know, I came up with it by basically taking Bella and Edward and seeing how many problems I could give them and how that would affect the story. So, please, enjoy!
