Prologue

One of the most extraordinary and life changing experiences of my life happened when I was only 4 years old. I was in Philadelphia with my mom due to her need to suddenly visit some old college friends. My dad didn't go because he had to work, but I later suspected that he was just trying to give my mom some space. It wasn't too long after this trip I remember them discussing divorce proceedings and custody arrangements.

We had just finished a rather tiresome round of shopping when it began raining. Of course, Renee wouldn't be Renee if she didn't forget to bring an umbrella, causing me to rush through the rain while trying not to break my neck. My mother had just saved me from landing flat on my face when it happened. That pivotal moment that would change my life forever. That's when I saw him. He was the most gorgeous man I had ever seen. I knew in that moment, that when I grew up, I had to find a guy just like him. He was tall and lean with honey blond hair which was currently dripping wet. His eyes were dark and so intense. He looked so tense but I just knew that there was something about him that I one day just had to have.

"Bella." My mom was tugging on my trying to get me to hurry along when I hadn't even noticed we weren't walking. By the time I glanced back to get one last look at him he was ducking into a diner.

I knew then there was no way I'd be able to be with any guy that wasn't at least a close second to him. I know that's really weird coming from a 4 year old, but what can I say? When you know you know, right? At the time I really didn't understand it. I was too young to. Somehow, I fell in love at first sight and didn't even know it. All I did know was from that day on he's starred in all my fairy tales and daydreams. He's the reason why I'm partial to blonds. Ever since that day, he's the only guy that can bring butterflies to my stomach; just the mere thought of him does it. That day completely changed me. He's the only guy I think about; the only guy I can think about…


AN: I almost forgot to mention that I don't own Twilight. Never will.

I wanted to add that this is going to be a Non-Canon Pairing if you haven't figured that out already. Don't like it? Don't read it!
