AUTHORS NOTE: I do not own any of the characters of the Twilight series; they are all from the mind of Stephanie Meyers. If I owned them I'd be filthy rich right now, and probably not writing a fanfic.


An eighteen year old student walks through the halls of his high school in Forks. His name was Nathan Warrens and he had been living in the town of Forks for a couple months. The boy stuck out like a sore thumb, he was a big city sort of guy with big city dreams. His parents felt it would be a good idea for Nathan to leave New York City.

New York was fast paced, no time for relaxation, especially with a successful fashion designer as a father and New York Times columnist for a mother. The stress of city life was getting to be too much, and a bad break-up was the straw that broke his back.

And that's what brought him to what Nathan referred to as "butt fuck nowhere". His parents bought him a house, had given him enough money to buy necessities until he got a job, and told him to start fresh, leave the negative behind and try to enjoy life in a new environment. Of course Nathan wasn't pleased, he felt abandoned and unwanted. He often didn't return his parents' phone calls, and the ones he did were kept short. Nathan tried to be positive about the situation, but during the first month his negativity often got the best of him. This negativity kept people away from Nathan, and thus he didn't have too many friends.

He had met some people he didn't mind, even to the point of calling them his only friends. The first was a girl named Bella Swan. She had a sarcastic humour, mixed with a bluntness that Nathan appreciated. It was through Bella he met his two other friends. There was Alice Cullen, a spunky girl, who's bubbly optimism kept Nathan in good spirits. They often talked about fashion, a passion the two share. Alice and Nathan were inseparable, and because of this he had met Alice's family. They seemed quite odd to Nathan, but he didn't mind, he wasn't exactly 'normal' either. Finally there was Jacob Black. Bella had introduced the two and Nathan had been immediately taken by the charming smile and warmth which surrounded the toned native male. The two hit it off fast. Whenever they'd go into town Jacob would be a bit protective of Nathan, whom often received snide comments and rude looks from passersby. Jacob was almost like an older brother to Nathan, the attractive, tough, masculine older brother.

This was his life in Forks. He had a grand total of three friends. Most of the people in the town either disliked him, or didn't bother to actually get to know him. He had no job yet, most of the town weren't looking for employees and for the few job openings that did exist there was heavy competition. There were upsides though. The house his parents bought was quite nice, and Nathan thoroughly enjoyed decorating it. Sure it wasn't as elegant as his parents' home in New York, but it was beautiful to him nonetheless. He had been able to afford the necessities and more with the money his parents left him, in fact he was able to buy a cheap motorcycle which Jacob had offered to help fix, and of course teach Nathan to ride. While there wasn't too much to do around Forks, no giant shopping malls down the street or anything like that, Nathan found himself becoming slowly accustomed to the vast natural beauties around him. He and Jacob often went for hikes in the woods, which the New York native began to enjoy. Life wasn't spectacular, but it was manageable. "Butt fuck nowhere" didn't seem so bad anymore. Of course that wouldn't last forever, and little did Nathan know that moving to Forks would be more of a fresh start than his parents could even imagine.
