"I'm sorry Jamie, I know how you feel. I've been there so many times before, but this can't carry on. I feel horrible, but we were never going to work. My life is changing and I have to leave my old one behind." I needed to speed this conversation, I could feel the tears coming to my eyes and that is the one thing I promised I wouldn't do.

"But I'm so sorry Ashley! I know what I did was wrong, I can't believe we have been together this long but I don't know what I would do without you." Jamie was already in tears. This was honestly one of the hardest things I have ever done.

"Please, we both know this won't work. I'm sorry, but I'm moving to America." I ended it there, I couldn't take any more, and I didn't even want to imagine how he was feeling. I turned and started making my way back down the empty street, the lights were flickering and the rain poured down my face.

"Please! No!" I heard Jamie scream after me. I started to run, it was cowardly but I had no idea what to do. I'd had many relationships before, but I couldn't deny that we had something special. Soon I found myself at my Dad's tiny apartment, I could see him loading up the bags into the Cab.

"Oh finally! Ashley we have to be at the airport in 30 minutes, and you've just decided to show up." He loaded the last bag into the Cab.

"I know Dad, I'm so sorry!"

"Don't worry. Look I know this is going to be a huge change for you, but I'm sure life in Forks will be perfect." He opened the door for me to get into the Cab.

"Yeah, don't worry. As much as I will miss my friends, I'm quite looking forward to meeting my new sister." I hopped in and pulled out my LG. "It's not like I won't be able to text them!"

"I'll see you later then?" Edward asked as he turned to leave after dropping me off at Charlie's.

"Sure." I called back. I headed up to the front door of the house, as I was about to slot my key into the door it swung open. Charlie was standing in the doorway, he looked delighted but anxious at the same time.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked.

"Bella, I think you should come and sit down, we need to have a chat." Oh god, if this was another chat about me and Edward or about Mom then I would rather go back to the Cullen's. I walked through to the sitting room and landed on the couch.

"I have some news, some quite big news and I don't really know how you are going to take it." He was biting his lip nervously. I looked at him expectantly. "Well, you see, the thing is....

You know that when you were four, Renee and I split up, and you lived with your Mom until you moved to Forks? Well there is something we never told you, and I really regret it now."

"What?" I asked nervously.

"Well you weren't the only child we had, I know this sounds crazy and completely unreal, but Bella, you have a sister." He finished.

I sat motionless for a few seconds. What was Charlie talking about? I couldn't have a sister, I would remember...

"What!!! Charlie what are you talking about?! You are joking right? How could you not tell me this?"

"I know! It was careless of us not to think it through, but it's true. Let me explain, she was only two when we divorced, you two weren't very close as sisters as a lot of the time me and your Mom lived separate lives. I spent a lot of time with her, while you spent a lot of time with your Mom. But when we did eventually divorce, your Mom's new life only had room for one child, eventually we decided you weren't both getting the opportunities you deserved and when your Mom's best friend Sarah found out she couldn't have children, Sarah offered to look after one of you for a little while. We decided you should stay with Renee because you were very attached and we thought your sister would settle in better since she was younger. It was only supposed to be for a little while, I couldn't take her in because at the time I could barely take care of myself. But eventually your sister became very attached to Sarah and her husband, and we decided that she would live with Sarah all the time, but we would be able to visit whenever we liked. That worked for a little while but about a year later, Sarah and her Husband decided to move to England. Ashley obviously went with them and we rarely visited her until we didn't really visit her at all."

"Ashley! Her names Ashley!" I was so shocked, that is all I could put into words. All this time, I wasn't an only child, and it could have just as easily been me sent to England!

"Oh yeah, we gave her that name. It kinda suited her. Anyway, eventually we lost all contact with Ashley and her new family. Until earlier today, I got a phone call." He continued.

"A phone call? From who?"

"Well, it was from Rob, Sarah's husband. He told me all about Ashley, turns out him and Sarah divorced a few years ago and after having a tough time living with her Mom, Ashley decided to move with her Dad. They recently found a new place to live, and Rob was wondering if I still lived in Forks, turns out they are moving here." He looked at me expectantly, it seemed as if he was wondering how I would take it.

"My sister is moving here! You mean... I will meet her?"

"Well that is entirely up to you, they said that if we want, we don't have to have anything to do with them, but they would be so glad to meet us." Charlie grinned at me. "So, do you wanna meet her?" For a few moments I sat dazed. My sister was coming to Forks! I wonder what she is like. Will she resent me because I got to stay with Mom?

"Of course I want to meet her! She is my sister! I wish I could have met her years ago!" Charlie's smile inflated.

"That's great Bella! I was so worried, I thought you might be put off. This means I can meet her too! My other daughter!"

"So when do you think we will get there?" Dad had picked up his new car on the way from the airport and we were travelling through the rainy highways.

"Well, probably 20 minutes tops, but as soon as we get there we are dropping off our bags and going to that studio." He answered. I studio he mentioned was a performing arts studio, I had always loved to perform. Dancing and singing were my favourite things to do but I had always dreamed of acting. A few companies were meeting up there to take a look at some 14-15 year old performers, who they could take on and perfect, and then maybe I could get a big break! "Oh and don't forget, Bella and Charlie agreed to meet us at the studio at about twelve thirty, you should be finished by then and maybe we could go back to theirs for a bit.

"Sure." I was really excited about meeting my family, but I can't remember ever being this nervous before.

In 15 minutes we drove up at a small extremely modern looking house.

"Here we are!" The house was surrounded by forest, except for the road it was on which had a few more houses along it. "Quickly help me unload and then we have to get going again!" I opened the trunk of the car and pulled out some of the bags and wheeled them into the house. The hall was large and square, I dumped my bags and ran up the stairs. I mean c'mon I had to check out my new room! I walked in to the single bedroom on the left, this one was mine. It was big, and as Dad had promised, it had a small walk-in room for my clothes. It also had a small on suite bathroom, and I knew exactly how I would decorate my new space.

"Ashley! We have to go now, we'll sort the rest out later." Dad called from downstairs.

Me and Charlie were in the car travelling to 'Talented Studios' for performing arts. We were going to meet Ashley, Edward had wanted to come, but we thought that it would be better for her to meet her family first.

Charlie pulled into a car park which seemed to have stars on all the signs and walls. This wasn't really my kinda place. We got out the car and walked into the squeaky clean lobby.

"Hello. Welcome to Talented Studios, how can I help you?"

"Hi, we're looking for a girl called Ashley Swan and her father?" Charlie spoke with the lady and reception.

"Oh yes, she is almost done with her audition, if you go through that door to the right she will be in there." She gave us a huge smile, and I noticed she had lipstick stuck to her teeth. Nice....

We made our way through the double doors and there was a huge stage in the middle of the room, with about ten people observing the girl on stage. She finished her performance as soon as we stepped in the room, she popped into her last dance position and the music stopped. A round of applause filled the room. I clapped along with the small crowd, and then looked up the girl on stage. First I noticed the neon pink nails that were swinging by her sides as she walked off the stage and to a man in a leather jacket. Her blonde hair flowed down halfway to her waist. She was wearing jeans and a green hoodie with loads of jewellery. A man in a suit walked over to her,

"That was quite amazing, we have been here all day and you are the first bit of proper talent we have seen. We will get back to you as soon as possible, we have your number?" The tall agent asked the girl who I assumed was my sister. She replied in a British accent, but not like I thought she would sound.

"Yeah sure, you've got my mobile 'coz we just moved in" she flashed her cute smile at the man, she had perfectly neat teeth and then started to walk away towards the door. She spotted me as she got nearer and paused, then started to slowly make her way over,

"Umm, are you Bella?" She said nervously as she played with her long colourful nails.

"Err, yeah I am. I take it you're Ashley?"

"Yup!" She grinned at me. I turned to see Charlie walking towards us,

"Hey there, it's really good to meet you." He seemed relaxed. "Do you and Rob wanna come round for a bit?"

"Yeah sure that would be cool. Lemee' just go get him." She practically skipped over the man in the leather jacket, and they made their way back towards us. This was part of my new family...

I waited at home for a few hours, Bella had gone to meet her sister and said she would come back with her in about an hour. An hour had gone, so I hopped into my car and drove to Charlie's. His car was still gone so they hadn't got back yet. I sat and waited, listening to the music and sounds coming from the forest. Although the Volturi hadn't bothered us for a while, the pack still roamed the woods scanning for vampires. We'd had a few run-ins with small covens but nothing we couldn't deal with. Suddenly a loud howl came from the woods. But also at that moment Charlie's car emerged and parked in the driveway. I could hear a chiming laughter coming from within the car. The back door opened and my Bella slid out, followed by a smaller girl with a handbag Alice would be proud of. I got out the car at human speed and followed after them. They got into the living room and I realised I had left my cell phone in the car. I wandered out to my car and retrieved my phone, but then I spun around. I heard a high pitched laugh from the forest, and a strong smell hit me... the smell of a vampire.
