Before I start, I just want to note that I don't own any of the characters from the show H2O: Just Add Water but I do own any characters that I create and add to the story.

So, I am really excited about this book and I have many ideas about the storyline and I hope to upload regularly. Maybe every two or three days depending on the amount of homework I get. This first chapter is mainly about Bella and Will, with a little about Cleo and Rikki. I have lots planned for the characters! I hope you like it!

Chapter One

7 Years Later

Rikki stumbled, gripping the desk with sweaty fingers, frantically trying to keep her balance. A yell escaped her lips as she clutched her bulging stomach with her other hand.

"Zane!" Rikki managed to cry, bending over with another yell. She was faintly aware of the sound of footsteps, running up the stairs, taking two steps at a time.

Suddenly, Zane was at her side, placing a hand at the small of her back.

"Rikki! Okay, we have to get you to the hospital!"

"Duh!" Rikki groaned in agony.

Zane, who was shaking beside her, led her down the stairs. Rikki prepared herself for the pain ahead.

Bella POV

"Bella!"

I stretched, letting out a long sigh which soon turned into a groan. Sitting up, I watched Caroline slide the curtains across, letting the sun shine through the window by my bed. I groaned again, pulling my bed covers over my face and sinking back down into the mattress.

"Go away," I murmured from under the covers.

When I heard no reply, I moved the blanket just enough to have a good view of Caroline who was bouncing around my bedroom in her dressing gown.

She apparently took no offence by my tone, as she pulled dress after dress out of my wardrobe.

"Come on! Big day!" I watched as she studied every outfit, choosing some she liked and throwing them onto the bed.

"Big day?" I asked, frowning as a hanger hit my leg.

"Okay... I say..." Caroline ignored me, picking up a pair of my favourite heels. "These blue heels, skinny jeans and... This top! With your brown leather jacket."

I rolled my eyes with a sigh and ran a hand through my hair.

"No. Slippers. PJ's. Dressing gown."

Caroline headed for the door, laughing brightly.

As she left, she called over her shoulder, "Be strong!"

Rubbing my eyes wearily, I swung my legs out of the warmth of the covers. It took all of my energy to get dressed and leave the apartment.

Bella POV

I tightened my grip on the steering wheel, biting my lip. I ran over everything I was going to say in my head, running a shaking hand through my curled hair.

I paused at the red traffic light, taking the chance to glance at my phone.

"Bella?"

I glanced through the rolled down window and frowned. The women to my left looked about my age, with her curled black hair reaching her shoulders. I eyed her outfit. It included a black leather jacket, black skinny jeans and boots. At her side, I spotted a golden labrador, eagerly licking her hand. The women was smiling at me while I just stared.

"Bella? It's Cleo. Cleo Sertori."

I drew in my breath. The light remained red.

"Cleo?" I smiled shyly. "Wow... Uh, Hi. You look..."

She looked down at herself and grinned. The lab jumped up and started licking Cleo's face.

"Yeah." She stroked her dog affectionately, fingering her hair. "I needed a change."

She looked like she wanted to say more but I had turned my eyes to the road as the orange light flashed to green.

"Uh, well... I'll see you!" I stuttered and returned her smile.

I slammed my foot on the brake and turned the corner hearing a faint "bye" from Cleo.

Bella POV

I paused, feeling butterflies in my stomach. I wanted to run. As far away as possible. But I knew that I had no choice but to knock on the door.

"I'll be right there!"

I shuffled from one foot to the other, my breathing uneven. I heard footsteps on the carpet in the hall and watched as the door handle began to turn.

The door opened. My heart began to thud against my ribcage at the sight of him.

I studied him, taking in his perfect tousled hair, the colour of his eyes, knowing that it will be the last time I see him.

"Bella."

I kept a straight face when all I wanted to do was jump him.

"Hi, Will."

I watched him as he stared at the floor, inviting me in. I walked in avoiding his gaze. The apartment looked the same. Yet different. The leather couch. The TV. But things were missing. Then I realised. My things were missing.

"Well... I should take my things and go..." I ran a finger over a sea shell on the coffee table.

I turned my head round, just in time to watch him nod. I turned to walk to the bedroom.

"Uh, Bella?"

I turned my head and looked at him curiously.

"I'll see you."

I nodded, remembering saying this to Cleo before. And I knew neither of us meant it.

I hope you enjoyed this first chapter! I think that the next chapter will be about Emma. Please review! I'd love to hear what you think. Thanks for reading! Bye!
