This is the prologue to Collide, West Coast. Hope you 3 It! Cuz I 3 you! I don't own Twilight or any of the characters and if I did Bella wouldn't be such a B***h, and all the rest of them wouldn't be so annoying. No offense SM. Rating will vary but the chance of smut isn't big (I don't like writing it, really). Pairings will definitely vary, and Jessica, Lauren, Angela will be main characters along with the cullens.

B POV

"…I'm so close to the edge, I'm falling and there's no one to catch me now-Crash and burn again…." I sang to myself as I wrote the

lyrics down into my song journal. It was part of my therapy. My shrink Jane-a young girl who had graduated from college at 15 (she

was seriously a genius) had said I had to get back to song writing if I chose to go move back to Los Angeles. And after everything in

Arizona- My mom leaving a latest husband for my ex-boyfriends dad, Phil, and then…. Everything with Liam. My parents think I'm a

selfish brat, My shrink thinks I'm just some troubled kid. No one knows what's really going on, except for Liam. Liam knew everything

about me. He was everything for me for a while there- a shoulder to lean on when my mother was in another one of her drinking

spells, a friend when Max dumped me-turning the only friend I had away from me. I though Liam was everything that was good, but I

guess the thing about trusting someone is that they always break it. Liam and I had never discussed a relationship….we just….were.

Since Liam, and because of Jane I'd started writing lyrics almost every day. Now, as I sat on the plane-my one piece of luggage above

me in the over head, so much came to mind. I was starting over. Maybe going back to LA could help heal everything a little. Maybe I'd stop bleeding tears. Maybe.

E POV

Alice saw the new girl, weeks before she even decided to come. Alice said she was troubled and would somehow enter herself into our

lives. But Alice saw a lot of things that didn't come to pass, and I would keep that child away if it's the last thing I do. The family did not

need to get involved with a human, after years of staying hidden. It was all pointing to unnecessary trouble- just like living in LA. But

rich, and beautiful, Alice just "knew" we'd fit right in. That wouldn't work if we had some plain Jane human hanging around .all.
