A/N: This is my first fanfic. I am not a writer; I was just listening to Absolutely (Story of a girl) by Nine Days, which I stole the title from, and felt like writing a Twilight fanfic. If anyone does read this story, I just want to say I don't know when I will be updating. There probably won't be much of a plot; this is really just for fun and to take my mind off of real life. Constructive criticism is appreciated.

Disclaimer: Everything related to Twilight belongs to Stephenie Meyer. I just decided to mess with her characters.

Prologue

Today is September 13th, which means it is my 21st birthday. I should be excited, I should want to celebrate by going out to a club and getting wasted, which is what any normal 21 year old would want to do, right? Wrong. All I want to do is get out of work, go home, eat some dinner and fall asleep.

But knowing my best friend and roommate, Alice Cullen, that's probably not going to happen. I don't expect anything spectacular, I'm hoping for nothing at all, but you could always bet on Alice to have some kind of shindig planned.

I only met Alice last year during my second year of college. We had hit it off great though.

At first glance Alice and I wouldn't seem like two people who would be friends. Alice is a beautiful, petite, barely 5 foot tall girl, with short spiky black hair to match her pixie-like demeanor. And even though I consider myself pretty, I know that I'm nowhere near above average, standing at 5'4, with plain brown hair and brown eyes. Nothing special.

But Alice was really a great person. She was the best friends I could ever ask for.

So, after each of us spending two years living in the school dorms, Alice and I decided that since we had become such great friends that we should move in together and rent an apartment not too far from campus.

I loved living with Alice, it's much better than living with complete strangers in a tiny dorm.

Anyway, back to reality.

It is 6:30 in the evening and work ends in an hour and a half. See, I work at the university library, surrounding by what I love most. Books.

I am majoring in English at the University of Washington and I figured a job in the library would be good for me. I only started working here this semester, and so far I like it. Unfortunately it can get a little dull sometimes.

I was just sitting behind the front desk checking out books for people, not really paying attention, when I heard a velvety voice ask "Don't I know you from somewhere?"

I looked up into a pair of sparkling green eyes, and lost all coherent thought for a few seconds.

Speak Bella! He must have thought there was something wrong with me.

"Um no, I don't think you do."

"I could swear I've seen you before," he said.

"I don't think so."

Now even though this guy was good looking – ok who am I kidding, he was stunning, with those amazing eyes, messy bronze colored hair, and what I could only imagine was a great body – I just wasn't interested in any kind of relationship right now, and I definitely wasn't interested in any guy who would try to hit on me at work.

I had decided before I started college, that I would make school my priority and take a break from dating anyone. A long break.

He stared at me for a few more seconds with a confused look on his face and then picking up his checked out book said, "Yea ok, I guess you're right."

Then he was gone.

--

I left the library, climbed into my old Chevy truck, and drove home to the comfortable apartment I shared with Alice.

The whole way there I could only think about one thing; the stranger with the piercing green eyes.

When I got to the door of the apartment I hesitated. I had a feeling of what was on the other side of the door, and I couldn't see a way to avoid it.

If I just walked away and waited until I was sure it was safe to go home, and to bed, Alice would call me wondering where I was, then she would no doubt come find me and drag me back to the apartment by the hair.

So instead of running away, I faced my fears, turned the lock and opened the door.

"SURPRISE!"

A/N: So reviews would be cool. I'll try to update with Chap. 1 ASAP. Maybe a day or two. I make no promises, sorry.

I'm sorry for any errors in grammar or spelling. Don't hesitate to point out anything that's wrong.

Thanks for reading!
