This is yet another new story. Why? I'm not sure but here goes nothing. Um, it's called One Horse Town. I think it could be good if you leave me thoughts to follow. I love you all and hope you all love this. Also starting new things up on FanFic. Now I will have a weekly/ monthly oneshot, depends on how they go and when I feel like writing them. This is the first chapter that I have had lyrics up at the beginning of a chapter, if there are any songs/qoutes that have inspired a certain chapter than those will go at the start. Let's go.

One Horse Town.

"...wheather you're late for church or you're stuck in jail, hey, words gonna get around...everybody...dies famous...in a small town. "

~Miranda Lambert. Famous in a Small town.

I was in my mom's truck, she was driving me.

Today was the day for new beginings. I could pretend to be anything I wanted and as long as I acted it up enough but not too much, then things would work out. Not that I would do that. Not a good actress.

"Honey I wouldn't mind having you along. Phil wouldn't either."

"No, I wouldn't want to bug you guys. Not sure how much fun it would be to have me tagging along across the country."

"Bella, come on we love you."

"But I haven't seen dad since I was ten, it could be fun." It could also be fun having three teeth pulled while listening to loud metal, babies crying along with having your toes dipped in hot wax and lava being poured down your throat.

Okay Charlie's not that bad. I guess I better learn to like him, considering I would be spending all my time with him.

I was going to be the new girl in Bulls Gap. And everyone would know about it from what my mom had told me for my entire life, though she had been playing it up to sound great since Phil had got the baseball deal he wanted. The popualtion was 749. The entire town would know. Luckily I wouldn't have to tell my tall tales of Ohio. Charlie didn't farm but he did own a lot of land and a few horses, his house was far from town and it would be impossible to walk there.

"We're here." she said and pulled up in front of a small two story. I turned when I heard her sigh, she looked tired.

"You don't have to go in. Just stay here I'll call you when I get the chance."

"Okay love you." she leaned over and kissed my cheek.

"Love you too." I got out and grabbed my bags out of the back, I had brought pretty much everything I owned. Plus some new summery things I had bought before I came. The wether from what I saw online was always hot or extremely cold. Tank tops and shorts shopping spree. Yay.

"Bye sweety, call me tonight." she yelled out her rolled down window.

"Okay." I nodded and she drove away.

I sighed as I looked at the house in further detail. Not much was there. I shrugged, picked up my bags, then went aned knocked on his door.

"Here we go." I said before he answered.

"Bella!" he eexclaimed.

"Hey dad." I said as he opened the door wider for me and I stepped in. The house was nice inside, I could tell he hadn't changed it mush since him and my mom divorced.

"Here let me show you your room." he led me up the stairs and into the last room on the left. It was the same room I had when I was little, I could tell because the curtains that I used to swing from still hung there. My crib was now a bed and there was a desk with a light on it. There was also an empty self unit, a bedside table, and a dresser. I also had a white shelf hanging on my wall where my baby things used to be, a bulliten board was underneath that.

"Thanks." I said. He nodded and left. I unpacked my things. Both my closet and my dresser were half full. I put a few notbooks and things in the desk and then plugged in my radio. I wasn't big on electronics. Sure I had my iPOd and cell phone, I had a laptop too, but I didn't really see the need for new and fancy things constantly when there's going to be something else you want tomorrow and the next day.

"Bella come down here I want you to meet someone." Charlie called upstairs.

"Okay." I put down what I was working on and then went do stairs. I went outside into the warm air. It was bright and sunny with a warm breeze flowing through the air. It was so hot that even I had changed into jeanshorts and a white lace tanktop.

"Yeah?" I asked as we stood on the porch, there was an old bench swing and some crooked but stable steps leading up to the door. There was a tall boy with russet skin leaning againt the railing that lined the small sqaure platform, Charlie was on the swing, an older looking man in a wheel chair next to him.

"Bella this is Jacob and Billy they live down the road."

"Oh, nice to meet you." I said as I shook Billy's hand, I turned to Jacob and did the same.

"Nice to meet you too Bella." he said.

"I thought it'd be nice for you to know some of the kids who live around." Charlie smiled and I forced myself to return it. It was a nice gesture to make sure I feel welcome.

I was seventeen. Did I really need my dad setting me up on playdates.

"We can go for a drive if you want, I'll show you around." Jacob offered.

"Sure." I said. "Thanks."

"Let's go. We'll be back in a bout an hour." he said turning to the porch.

"Sure be back by sundown." Billy told us and we nodded. I then headed down towards the F-150 that was parked in the gravel driveway. I got in the passenger's side and then he drove away.

"So hwo long have you lived here?" I asked as he droive down the road which was also gravel.

"Well pretty much since I was born, I mean we've tried to move around but always come back here. It just feels like home since my mom died."

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

"Don't be I was only like ten. Any pain has pretty much passed."

"That's good."

"Yeah. But everyone got over that a long time ago, you're the latest gossip going around lately." he looked over at me.

"Really?" I asked nervously.

"Yeah, Charlie started talking about it in church about a month ago and no one could shut-up about it since."

"So that town's really that small? Everyone knows?"

"Pretty much. See there are few families that live here. There are the Swan's and the Black's, you know that. There are only a few others locally, the rest live a little closer to the school. My house is farthest out. Yours second. There are the Stanleys, the Newtons, the Webers, the Yorkies, the Clearwaters, the Cullens, and the Crowleys. They all are around on a pretty regular basis. Um the rest of the families own everythings, like the grocery or the bowling alley. It's all up here."

he turned and there was a long strip of stores and buildings. There were streetlights and wide sidewalk. There were a few people walking up and down. I looked at the buildings then. One said Zazzle in a strange hand, another said The Lanes in huge bubble letters. There were a few others. Grocery stores and barber shops.

"When we all get together we all go bowling. I think Leah's in Zazzle right now though. Let's go." I walked and it was like the '50's again. There were black and white checkered tiles on the floor, red leather stools, shiny juke boxes, and people in poodle skirts. It was very cool looking.

"Leah." Jake said and sat down up by the counter.

"Hey Jake. What's up?"

"Well Bella got here." he said pointing to me. Leah's face perked up and she stood to greet me.

"I'm Leah, it's nice to meet you."

"You too." I said as she let go of my hand. We stayed there for awhile longer but Leah had to get home, it was getting dark. This meant Jake and I had to get home too. We gave Leah a ride, her hourse was across the street from Jake's. Since he was already at his house I said it was fine if he stayed. I could walk home, didn't expect much crime in a town this small.

"Bye Jake." I said as I shut the screen door behind me. It was about a two minute drive to get to Jake's from my house. Maybe a ten minute walk?

I was half way there when I saw someone trying to lift bails of hay up into the bed of a truck. I walked up and helped him lift the three at a time he was doing in the truck.

"Nice of you to stop." he said and smiled. He had a southern twang to his voice as most people I assumed would. Charlie didn't, he had moved here after high school after Renee had me and hadn't picked it up. I had never felt the need to get rid of mine, I had lived in Ohio since I was tne and people always pointed it out ot me if they didn't have one. Now that wouldn't happen at least.

"Well I could've walked by but I don't see a reason to let you struggle." I smiled at him and my heart fluttered.

"Hey are you new in town, I haven't seen you around before."

"No, you haven't. I'm Bella, from what I hear of the talk you've heard about me?" I stuck my hand out and he shook it, letting it go in my opinion too soon.

"Ah Bella Swan, Chief Swan's daughter." he nodded. "All over town for the last while." I rolled my eyes, and then met his gaze. "So had anyone showed you around yet?" I thought about lying, thinking he was offering, but that wouldn't feel right to me.

"Um, yeah Jacob Black and I just got back."

"Let me guess he showed you Zazzle and the Lanes and a few other things but that was all?"

"Pretty much."

"Well he doesn't know wanything, he's lived here too long and thinks he's the best things that's ever been." he looked at me for a moment and I felt as though he was looking through me.

"What?" I asked with a nervous laugh.

"Come on." he said openeding the passenger's door of the truck.

"Where we going?"

"I'm gonna show you what everyone's missing out on." he smiled and I almost got in.

"You knwo if you're gonna drive me around I think I should get to knwo your name." I teased and he smiled.

"Edward Cullen, now come on let's go."

Thanks for reading and please leave reviews. I know this was a pretty fluffy chapter but I think it sort of had to be. This will get intense at some point just not yet. I have a twitter so stalk me all you like, it's free to sign up. If you liked this story as soon as it's up on FanFic I will go to twitter and tweet sneak peek what's going to be in the next chapter. I do this with all my stories but just thought I'd let you know. It's called a tweet sneak peek, by the way, because it's a sneak peek on twitter. Does that work? Well it does for me. Thanks for reading!

PLT!
