Chapter 1: Blake Stone

Bella POV

I can't believe he really left me. I was so devastated. I ended up breaking down in the middle of the forest. Luckily, I was found by Sam, the man my dad had asked for help to find me. My dad sent a whole search party to go looking for me. Apparently, I had been gone for hours, yet I couldn't even tell the difference. He said that it would be as if he never existed. He went into my room and took away all the things that his family gave to me. The pictures taken by Alice, the radio from my car that Emmett had set up, the plane tickets to Florida that were given to me by Esme and Carlisle, even the CD that he gave to me for my birthday!!

It's been a 5 months, and I still believe that this is a horrible nightmare. That one day, I'm just going to wake up and be back in the safe arms of my vampire boyfriend. How ironic, that I would be safe in the arms of a vampire. Even though he made it pretty clear that he no longer wanted me, I still love him and my heart is shattering into smaller pieces every day from all the pain.

I can no longer eat, sleep, speak, or even breathe. It hurts even more when I hear their names. Just the slightest sign of them brings pain to my heart, and I find it getting harder and harder to breathe. I am now nothing more than a lifeless zombie. Sure, I go to school and follow the same routines as many kids of my age do, but I do them without emotion. I loathe myself. I hate myself for not being good enough. To be worthy enough for his love. To be worthy enough for him.

Everyone can see the change in me. I no longer have that glint in my eyes when I'm filled with excitement or happiness. All I can feel is pain, remorse, and anger. My dad has to force me to eat and go to school. He brought me to a doctor once and the doctor announced me as hopeless. After that, I didn't do anything more than sulk in my bedroom. Every night, I get nightmares. I would always scream his name followed by the words "don't leave me," or "I love you."

"That's it Bella!! I'm sending you back to your mother!!" my dad's angry voice brought me out of my self loathing.

"I can't take seeing you like this. I want the old Bella back and if sending you back to your mom is what it takes, then so be it!!" he added.

"You're sending me to Florida?" I asked barely concerned.

"Yes, it's for your own good," he answered.

"Okay," my voice barely a whisper.

"Okay? You're okay with this?" he asked in shock.

"You're right, I need a fresh start. This place is full of painful memories and I don't think I can take it anymore. I think that Florida could be a good way to start brand new," I said truly meaning it. Then again I could have just been saying it to try to convince myself. Well, either way, it worked.

"I already have your plane ticket. You're due to leave in two days," my dad added.

"Thank you Dad," I said.

"I love you kiddo, don't you ever forget that. I just….. I want, no, need to see you happy again and obviously being here is not doing you any good," he explained as he held me in a tight hug.

"I love you too Dad. I know that you're doing this for my own good and it's just about time that I fix my life," I replied.

"Alright, well you better start packing," he smiled at me before slipping out of the room.

I stood up wiping away the unshed tears that collected in my eyes. I walked down to the garage to get my suitcase and brought it back to my room. As I walked over to my closet, I stepped on a wooden plank and it creaked. I got curious so I kneeled down and took a look at it. It seemed to be out of place so I pulled it up and tried to fix it.

I was shocked at what I saw underneath. It was my stuff!! All of the stuff that I thought Edward had taken away from me laid beneath it. The pictures, the tickets, everything!! But when I saw them, I no longer felt any love towards the items that were given to me by my once loved family. All I could feel was the anger and pain that they had left behind.

"It will be as if you never existed, my ass," I chuckled darkly.

I put the items inside of a box and brought it outside. I crumpled up paper and stuffed it on top of them. I ran inside the house to get a lighter and put the box in fire.

"This is what I felt when you all left me. It felt like I was living in a burning hell," I whispered knowing very well that Alice could see and hear what I was doing and saying.

"I am never going to cry for any of you again. I will pretend as if I never met you. Like what he said, it will be as if you never existed. You no longer mean anything to me, not a single thing at all," I finished.

I watched as my once treasured items burned like hell. And I watched it burn with satisfaction. It feels like, I had done it to get closure and that a whole burden has been lifted off of my shoulders.

"Bells what are you doing?" my dad asked as he stepped outside to see what was going on.

"Getting closure," I said simply.

"Were those……? I see," he nodded in understanding.

"From this day forward, I'll be back to same old Bella. I promise you that Dad," I gave him my word.

"I'm glad Bella. I really missed you," he said.

"Me too," I added.

I walked back upstairs to pack my stuff. I don't know how I did it, but I was able to pack everything I owned into my suitcase. I looked into the mirror and saw a ghost of what I used to be. Purple bruises lay under my eyes, my body was very frail, skinny, and weak, but….. my eyes. Oh my eyes!! They no longer held the same pain and anger that it used to. I actually had emotion and happiness in them.

I asked my dad if we could eat out today. He said yes. We went to a steakhouse and boy did I eat a lot!! I ate three whole steaks and lots of fries and rice. My dad seemed to have approved of my new found diet. He loved that I'm back to my old eating habits. I was glad too. I looked at myself again in the mirror after we went back home. I looked a bit better. My body seemed to have digested the food pretty fast, because I wasn't as skinny anymore. My skin also started to gain color again. That night, I slept with no nightmares. No nightmares!! I fell into a dreamless sleep and I felt like I was in complete bliss.

The next morning I woke up and went into the bathroom. I looked once again in the mirror and noticed that the purpled bruises under my eyes had disappeared. I looked like my normal self again. I may need to eat a lot again today to gain back some weight. I would love to do that, I missed how good food actually tasted like when you were happy. Like I am now.

I decided that I wanted to go out today and I did. I wore a pair of skinny jeans, a black v-neck shirt, and a dark blue south pole jacket. I put on my black vans and grabbed my wallet and keys as I set out. I jumped into my car and drove to the mall. As I was walking through the mall, I bumped into Jessica and her "posse." Stupid bitch treated me like shit when I started to date Edward and treated me like a slut when they left. Damn hypocrite. That's right, I can say his name without hurting anymore.

"Bella?" a soft voice asked. I knew that voice, it was Angela's.

"Hey Angela," I waved at her.

"You look…. great," she gave me a genuine smile.

"Thanks," I blushed. Well, that's one thing that I haven't done for weeks. My face had practically been drained out of color because of my lack of nutrition.

"You blushed," she said astonished.

"Huh, I guess I did," I said returning her smile.

"Whatever you're still a stupid bitch," Jessica said sneeringly.

"Look who's talking. Hypocrite," I snorted.

"Like what does that even mean?" she asked in her nasally voice.

"Wow, a hypocrite and a dumbass. I didn't think you could be any retarded than I thought you were, but I guess I was proven wrong," I said with a triumphant smirk. A few "ooohs," "snaps," and "burns" filled the air.

"Why you – " she was about to slap me but a hand stopped her and shut her up in the way.

"Don't hurt her Jessica. You call her a slut and a bitch when you clearly know, or maybe you don't, but we clearly know that you're more of a slut and a bitch than Bella could ever be. So you have no right to call her those names because they obviously fit you better," Angela defended for me.

"If it isn't already obvious, you're like totally out of the group," Jessica hissed.

"You don't have to do that because I was never in your group in the first place….. bitch," Angela brought her fist and connected it with Jessica's nose. Angela immediately grabbed my hand and ran with me away from their so called "group."

We stopped running panting and laughing at our new found behavior.

"I haven't felt that good since….. never," Angela said and it brought us to another fit of laughter.

"Thank you for defending me Angela. You're the only true friend that I've ever had here," I gave her a thankful hug.

"No problem Bella. That's what friends are for," she gave me a huge smile.

We linked hands and walked through the mall as we enjoyed ourselves. We passed by a music store and it had a song playing by someone named Blake Stone. Who's that?

"Angela, who's Blake Stone?" I asked curiously.

"You don't know who Blake Stone is?" she asked in shock. I shook my head.

"Well, I can't really blame you since you've been out of it for a whole month. He's a new singer but his songs have been off the charts!! Every girl in our school has been swooning and daydreaming about him. I can't blame them either because he is hottt!!" she squealed.

"Wow, I never thought that I'd live the day to hear you call someone hot. He must be that awesome," I laughed.

"He really is. I love his music too," she added.

"Rockstars aren't really that great though Angela. I bet he's just another one of those stuck up guys who can't get over themselves," I snorted.

"Think what you want Bella, but he's amazing," she sighed dreamily. What the hell happened to Angela?

We went to lots of stores and bought new clothes. By the end of the day, I was laughing freely and happily. I really have changed. I told her about my move and she seemed saddened by it but she was happy that I was a fresh new start.

"I'll see you soon Angela," I waved goodbye.

"I'll miss you Bella," she said.

"You too!" I shouted as I ran to my car trying to avoid the rain.

I drove back home and eventually fell back to a once again dreamless sleep.

"Bella, it's time for your big move," my dad said as he shook me to wake up, "You've got three hours before your flight leaves."

When I heard three hours, I bust up from my sleeping position and hurriedly started getting ready. I took a nice long shower. I dried my hair and put on my clothes. I wore my blue converse, skinny jeans, and a blue paramore scoop neck shirt. I brushed my hair a bit to untangle it then grabbed my shoulder bag. I packed a book, my iPod, and other necessities in it for the flight.

"Dad I'm ready!!" I shouted from upstairs as I put on my jacket.

We both got into his car as he drove to the airport. After a few minutes, we had arrived and started saying our goodbyes to each other.

"See you soon Bells, I love you," he said against me.

"I love you too Dad," I gave him a kiss on the cheek before entering the gates to my plane. I waved goodbye to him and saw that he let a few tears escape his eyes. I was really going to miss him.

After the flight (Now in Florida)

I stepped off of the plane and walked towards the waiting area of the airport.

"Bella!!" someone tackled me into a hug.

"Mom?" I asked.

"I've missed you so much!!" she exclaimed as she hugged me even harder.

"Give the girl some space Renee," a manly voice chuckled.

"Phil?" I asked.

"It's good to have you back kid," he gave me a small hug.

"I have my baby girl back, this is great!" my mom started to bounce and clap her hands happily.

"I missed you too Mom," I started to return her hug.

"Come on, you need to see you new home," she said excitedly.

Phil grabbed my bags and carried them for me as my mom pulled me through the crowds as fast as she could. We finally reached their car and Mom couldn't wait for us to get home. She kept saying "are we there yet?" or "Phil, will you drive faster?" Finally we arrived at their new home, or I guess I should say MY new home.

"Oh Mom, it's gorgeous," I said in astonishment.

"Come on, you need to see your room. I had it all decorated, painted, and stuff," she pulled me up the stairs then opened the door.

It was beautiful. The room's colors contained blue and pink. I'm not usually a fan of the color pink, but I loved how it tied the room all together. The furniture looked like they were meant for me. It was modern yet looked like it was designed for a teenager. (AN: The picture of the room is up on my website)

"I love it!!" I gave her a huge hug and she returned it happily.

"I knew it. Ha! Told you so," she stuck her tongue out at Phil. He just laughed it off, clearly amused with his wife.

"Get some rest honey. School starts tomorrow and I want you to be prepared for it," she suggested.

"Okay, thanks Mom," I said before she and Phil left my new room.

I set up my alarm clock to wake up at 6 am. I didn't want to be late on my first day to school. Damn, I can't believe I actually said that. I have a feeling that I'm going to like it here.

I woke up from the loud blast that came from my alarm clock.

"That's Blake Stone's new single Hero!!" the speaker of the radio announced. Blake Stone? Again? He must be really famous. Too bad I don't give a shit. Stupid rockstars.

I got out of bed and started to get ready. I got into the shower and took a quick bath. Then I plugged in my hair dryer and started to dry my hair. I wore my undergarments then put on a black tank top and a white ruffled skirt. What? I do wear skirts for your information, I just never wore them back in Forks because it was always too cold. I slipped on black ballet flats and brushed my hair to its normal wavy self. I skipped down the stairs to be greeted by my happy and excited mom.

"Guess what?" she asked. I raised my eyebrow at her.

"I got you a new car!!" she exclaimed.

"Wha – what?!" I choked on the piece of bread that I was eating.

She brought me outside and I was faced with a large mound that was covered. She pulled the cover off and a Jaguar XF Coupe was underneath it.

"You got me a Jaguar!!!" I screamed.

"You like it?" she asked.

"I love it!! Thank you Mom!!" I ran to her and held her in a hug.

"Can't…. breathe," she choked out.

"I'm sorry," I started fixing her clothes.

"Go on honey, get ready. I have your bag inside of the car. I bought you all the things you would need," she said.

"You're the best Mom," I gave her a kiss on the cheek as she handed me the keys to my new car. A freaking Jaguar!! I have the best mom in the world!!

As I pulled out of the driveway, I realized that I had no idea how to get to the school. I rummaged through my bag and saw a paper where my mom had written the directions to get to school. I followed the directions and arrived at the school 15 minutes later. That wasn't so bad. I saw an open spot in the parking lot and I was about to take it when a rude car cut me and took it instead. Four guys came out of the car high fiving each other. I couldn't see their faces clearly though.

"Bastards," I cussed under my breath.

I drove around the parking lot again. It took me 10 minutes but I was finally able to park my car. I had a feeling that this school wasn't going to be as easy as Forks. I just have to be the new student again. Really? It feels so de ja vu. I got out of the car and grabbed my bag before walking towards the main office. But I never made it because I bumped into someone. I fell onto the floor and all of my stuff fell from my bag.

"Are you okay?" a voice asked.

"Does it look like I'm okay?" I asked rather harshly.

I went on a kneeling position and started collecting my stuff. I looked up and gazed into deep blue eyes. I almost melted in them but I shrugged it away. He also had chocolate brown hair.

"New student?" he asked.

"Yeah," I mumbled rudely before standing up.

I dusted off the dirt got on my clothes.

"Blake Stone," he held out his hand. I didn't grab it. I was in too much shock as I realized who he was.

Blake Stone? As in the rockstar? Damn it.

Damn it all to hell.
