-CHAPTER ONE: MOVING ON MEANS MOVING AWAY-

BPOV

i awoke with a mind numbing headache.. All the screaming last night between me and my ex-boyfriend Jared had finally caught up with me and not only did my head hurt but so did my heart. He left my heart in a thousand tiny pieces and i was left there alone to pick up the pieces and put it back together. How would i ever get over someone that i loved so much? I guess the trick would be to remember how badly he treated me, to remember all the times he cheated on me with various women, one was even my best friend Amilia. It would be so hard to remember all those times, though, when all i could think about was his gorgeous sky blue eyes and his vibrant blonde hair. At that moment.. I knew exactly what i had to do. I had to leave. I had to get out of Phoenix. I knew it would be hard to leave both of my parents behind, to leave everything that i had ever known behind. But if thats what it would take for me, Aribella Swanson, to get over him, Jared Thompson, then thats what iwould have to do. I'd also have to do it under the radar so he would never know where i went..I guess the only people that i am going to tell is my parents, Rayanne and Charles. I will also change my number and e mail address so he has absolutely no way to contact me and i can let the healing process begin. Im only 17 but im very responsible, ive been living alone for the past year and half and im quite proud of myself..My mind began to twirl thought upon thought of where i should move.

"Jared knows that i love the warm sunlight so the last place he would expect me to go is somewhere always rainy or always cold.. hmmm... think Bella... Connecticut? No, that wont do.. Antartica? Too far from my parents..hmm..Washington? Thats it! i think i have just found my new home state, now i just have to figure out a town. Ill do that on my laptop right now."

I got onto my laptop and in the search bar i typed "Quiet towns in Washington." Several results popped up, but only one caught my eye and the name of that town was Forks. Forks, Washington.

Later that day, i got into my 1966 vintage volkwagen bug and drove down to my parents house. I had told them my plan and they blew it all out of proportion!

"Moving to the next town over was okay but moving to a different state is a different story Ari" My mother said.

"I agree with your mom Ari. thats just too far from us, what if something happens and you cant make it on your own? what will you do then?" My father questioned.

I got upset that they could even think that im not responsible enough to take care of myself after doing it for a year and a half now. I have kept a steady job, paid my own bills, kept my house looking great and on top of all that i have stayed in school, making a solid 3.5 GPA. I was going to try to make that a point to them.

"Mom, Dad, please, i have been doing it on my own for a year and a half now and i havent had to ask you guys for help at all. i bought my car, paid my bills, kept my house, and still managed good grades at school, what makes you guys think that i wouldnt be able to handle it all on my own now? You two have done nothing but brag about how good i've been doing and how responsible i am, i am now asking you guys to please trust me, its time for me to get a new start!" I pleaded with them.

"What is this all about anyway Ari?" my mother asked.

"Mom, its all about me getting a new start and about me leaving Jared in the past, im tired of being held back from the world by him. I am my own person and i deserve to feel that way and i just couldnt with him around."

"Why out of state though? I dont know what me and your father will do without our aribella just a ten minute drive away" she argued.

"If i stay in phoenix, ill never get over Jared, He will grovel and plead and i know i will fall into that trap time and time again as i have in the past, i want to do this, why cant you understand that?"

This time it was my father that came to my rescue, instead of my mother who was usually the one doing the rescuing.

"Ari" My dad began "I can see what you mean, if you feel this is whats best for you, you go ahead and follow your heart. We will always be here for you to fall back on if you ever need us. Its just so sad to me to see my only little girl leave. But i guess i knew it was going to happen someday. You are not 4 anymore with a scraped knee calling for daddy. I love you Ari, with all my heart."

I jumped in the air and gave them both kisses and hugs. I told them that i had changed my number and had saved my new one into both of their cell phones. I wnt home and called a reak estate that informed me that there was a beautiful 3 bedroom 2 bath home for rent for 650 dollars a month, I told her i'd be up tomorrow to move into it. I then left to go rent a U haul and a driver to take all my stuff to Forks, Washington.

So what did all u guys think? review please. i would love pointers and i can take construtive critisizm! xoxo- Maddy-Rose!
