Chapter 1.

Cali P.O.V.

The sound of waves crashing and the smell of the ocean filled my nose as I looked out over the water.

I smiled to myself as the tide came in and water rushed around my bare feet, before heading back out into the ocean.

A few tears leaked out of my eyes as I remembered all of the fun times I had down at this beach with Seth, Embry, Quil and everyone else. Just hanging around, laughing and having a good time.

But then they disappeared. Abandoned me and their other friends for Sam. Seth had promised he wouldn't leave me, but he broke that promise. He had suddenly grown inches taller, became insanely buff over night and cut his hair. When I went to see him at his house to talk, he told me to leave and never come back. So, I did. And I never went back.

Now I come down to the beach and watch the water, letting the memories of the fun, happy times play in front of me. And everything's alright, if just for a while.

"Cali?"

I was broken out of my thoughts by Jamie, one of my best friends, who was watching me with sad eyes.

I gave her a small, watery smile and she held out her arm to me. I linked my arm with hers and let her lead me towards her truck.

She helped me in and made sure I buckled up, before walking around and getting in the drivers side.

"Your dad freaked out when he couldn't find you. He figured you were down here and called me to come get you. You need to tell him when you leave the house, Cali." Jamie said as she started up the truck. I just nodded and gave her an apologetic look.

Ever since I had gotten sick, my dad and friends had become overly protective. My dad has a heart attack if I just stub my toe. But I understand.

After all, finding out that your daughter has "Lou Gehrig's Disease" is very traumatic.

With a sigh, I looked away from the ocean and closed my eyes as Jamie drove me back home.
