A/N: This is my first Fanfic so please try to be gentle. I have never tried writing a story based on a book before so it might not be any good. It's kinda weird trying to make the style of writing to sound like Bella.
This Chapter is like a mood-setter I guess. The good bit doesn't kick in until like 3rd Chap maybe.
Anyways..
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of the Characters. But I can dream.
Chapter 1
BPOV
I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock blaring through my ears. That is not the most pleasant way to wake up. I rose miserably from my bed and prepared myself to look out my window and find myself looking into the ugly reality that is Forks.
That was why I was shocked to find that it really wasn't all that bad a day. I had to thank the gods for making my first day here in Forks not quite as dreary as I had initially thought. There was no rain or thick clouds in the sky, and most importantly I would catch glimpses of the sun coming through the surrounding trees. As much as I despised the idea of living in a state where it rains constantly, I couldn't deny how beautiful it was. Everything was so green, absolutely nothing like Phoenix.
Phoenix, the thought of my previous home reminded me of how much I was going to miss the warm weather. And my mother. I had to keep telling myself that I did this for her. Phil and she both deserved their happiness without me getting in the way. And although my mother told me she never minded, I just knew that the newly married couple needed their time alone together and I was going to give it to them.
Charlie was pleased to have me here as I knew he would be. It was awkward between us at first, but after I made dinner and we sat at the kitchen table we began to bond. It wasn't long after our bonding session that I told Charlie goodnight and got ready for bed. I was spent after my long day of traveling and unpacking.
I didn't start at Forks High School until tomorrow and I knew Charlie left for work early so I was glad that I was able to take advantage of the weather whilst I could. I decided to take a quick shower and wash my hair with my deliciously smelling strawberry shampoo. Once I was out and all dry, I dressed in my everyday jeans, T-shirt and Jacket. I wasn't really the type of person who cared overmuch about my appearance; it's not like I would actually look that good even if I tried. I quickly tied my hair up into a ponytail and made my way down the stairs towards the kitchen.
Unfortunately I wasn't so lucky in attempting to make it down without an issue. I managed to catch my toe on the bottom step and stumble forward. Thankfully I was able to catch myself before falling face first onto the ground. I'm often fairly clumsy so it is fairly often that someone will see me on the ground or heading in that direction. Finally stabilizing myself, I walked into the kitchen.
I ate my cereal and placed the bowl in the sink, choosing to wash it later. I decided I would spend the day just driving and exploring around the town a bit to see what I could find. So I headed towards the door, grabbed my new car keys along the way, shoved my feet in my new chunky water proof boots and walked out the door.
The ground outside was still damp so my boots made sloshing noises as I walked towards my new truck. I loved it. It was the perfect car for me. Sure Charlie told me it was a little slow and you could see the paint was scratching off, but it looked solid and safe enough to be driven by my clumsy self. I opened the door and practically jumped into the cab. There was a faint smell of tobacco but I was sure it would go away eventually.
The truck started with a roar, startling me. If there were neighbors close by I'm sure the sound would've turned heads. I pulled out from the driveway and headed down the road.
This town was truly beautiful. Without the rain and gloomy clouds it was extremely calming. I drove around for about twenty minutes not really looking where I was going, when I noticed a little gap in the trees along the highway. I became curious and slowed down so I could turn into it. I parked my car and read a sign that read 'picnic area' and a path that lead up into the forest. I followed until I came to a small open space with a couple of picnic tables that were occupied by absolutely no one. I wonder if anybody ever came here. It is practically in the middle of nowhere. It felt a little eerie being surrounded by tall, mossy trees with no one around, but I brushed it off and let my curiosity take over once more.
I had always had a pretty good sense of direction so I knew that if I walked a couple of miles or two into the forest I could find my way back. I walked deeper into the trees where there was no path to follow at all. After idly walking through the dark forest for about fifteen minutes I noticed a thinning in the trees and some more light coming from up ahead. I headed straight towards it and walked into a clearing.
It was beautiful. Beautiful didn't even describe this wonderful meadow I had discovered. It was almost perfectly circular and the ground was embedded with wildflowers in a few different shades. I stood there gawking at the meadow for a while before I decided to rest and lay down. I closed my eyes and listened to the sounds of the birds chirping in the background and the bubbling music of a nearby stream.
I must have fallen asleep because when I looked up the sun was lower in the sky and it was slightly drizzling. Deciding it was time to head home I stood up and turned around to face the direction I came from. But as I was turning I spotted something between the trees. I stopped moving and focused my eyes and what I had seen; when my eyes finally landed on it I realized it was a boy.
A/N: Sorry for the Chapter. It should get better. Tell me what you think. xx
