Summary; After the unexpected death of her parents, Alex, moves to Forks, to live with her grand parents. She starts high school and that's where her life takes another unexpected ride; that's where she meets him and his family. At first she thought they was just stuck up individuals that never spoke to anyone; but then she found out their secret, and that changed things forever.

-----------------------

With a long sigh of relief, Alex placed her last bit of clothing into her new tiny closet. She looked around the room; that had once belonged to her father and frowned. It was painted a pale blue; with white trim. Pictures of the family hanged all around, and in the middle was a full sized bed with blue plaid bedding over it. It looked like a teenage boys room; she expected it was the same as the way her father had left it before he left for college. She turned around hearing someone clear their throat.

"Hi, Grandma Lane" she whispered.
"Don't worry, you can paint it." Lane offered.
"Oh no, It's quite fine, really. I just miss them."

Lane smiled weakly at her grand daughter and then walked over and took a seat on the bed, ushering for her to join her. The teenager made her way over to the bed and took her seat beside her grandmother.

"I understand it isn't fair, Alex. But we have to move on."
"I know, grams. It's just going to be hard. Especially with the move, and going to a new school. I've just got so much on my mind. " Alex admitted in a worried tone.

She didn't want the people here to hate her; she normally wasn't the type of person who cared if she fit in or not. But in a small town like this; she most defiantly didn't want to be the outcast. Her grandmother reassured her that everything would be ok and then left the room giving her plenty of time to sort through her belongings. She just laid back on the bed and looked over at the picture on her dresser. It was taken last summer on vacation. They went to New York, and the picture was of her parents and her taking in Time Square. She smiled as she ran her fingers over the glass before sitting it back on the dresser. Her grandmother had arranged for her to start school on Monday, so this weekend she would need to get everything settled in.

Edward sit in his room listening to classical music when Alice walked in gracefully. She had a wide smile on her face as she walked over and took a seat beside him. He could read her mind; he knew she wanted to tell him something. He sighed.

"Go on." He demanded.
"I saw another vision of her. She was wearing a pink shirt, and a back pack was bouncing as she walked. The bright red hair hugged around her face, and she had a bright smile." She said sweetly.
"And she could be a thousand miles away; centuries away; she might not even exist, Alice." he hissed.

She sighed and got up from beside him shaking her head. She just wished that he understood that this isn't the end of the world; Bella wasn't his soul mate. He had yet to meet the woman who would steal his heart away. Once Alice left his room he got up and walked over to his shelf full of CDs, he quickly changed it from classical to modern rock.

He had been pondering on what Alice's visions for some time now. He had come to the conclusion that they were wrong. There was no other woman for him other than Bella, he could never fall in love with anyone else. She was the one for him; and now she wanted nothing to do with him. He hated being away from her; but he had to for his family's protection. She promised to keep their secret safe; as long as he stayed away.

Alex sit at the kitchen table nibbling on her toast. Her grandfather sit over from her reading the newspapers and chomping down quickly on his scrambled eggs. He dropped his newspaper and then rolled it up and placed it on the table, he looked over at his grand daughter and smiled.

"How about we go fishing? Do you like fishing still?" He questioned.
"I haven't been fishing in a long time, that would be nice."

She really didn't like fishing, but she wouldn't turn down the chance to spend time with her grandfather; especially after losing her parents; she realized you never know how much time you have with someone. He smiled and then walked her out to his shed. He grabbed some fishing poles and bait, and then handed her a large yellow rain coat. She placed it on and looked down. Her white Nike sneakers were defiantly going to be ruined. Her grandfather noticed her looking at the white shoes and smiled.

"Don't worry, pumpkin. We'll stop by and buy you some rain boots. You'll be needing them. "

She gave him a small smile and a nod as they walked through the wet grass. He let Lane know where they was going and then the two of them loaded up into his old truck. She looked out the window as they drove through the small town of Forks. It was much different than she remembered as a child. It had a few more businesses, and a lot less trees.

" A few more businesses have moved into town. There's a sporting store right down this street. They always have an amazing stock of rain boots in; even some stylish ones for the girls, I'd imagine".

She just nodded her head and kept looking out the window, trying to remember all the scenery and places just encase she wanted to go out browsing later. They drove by the high school and she giggled at it's size. It was no where near the size of her school back home in California. Soon they arrived at the small shop. She walked inside with her grand father and he began talking to the man behind the counter, as she walked around and looked. She found the boots in the back and took one of her size and took then she lowered herself into the chair near by and tried it on. She looked at it and realized it would be fine; after all, she really didn't expect to be wearing them everyday.

" Wow! Who are you? "

She turned around and saw a teenage boy standing in front of her. His eyes were sparkling with excitement as they looked her up and down. Clearly noticing she was new in town. She let a friendly smile curve into her lips and cleared her throat to announce herself.

" I'm Alex." She introduced herself.
"Mike Newton. You're new to town, I guess?" He questioned.
"Yeah, I just moved in with my grandparents."
"What grade are you in? Single, I hope." He winked.
"Junior." She replied, not even wanting to answer the other question.
"Wow! Me too, maybe I can show you around. You start on Monday?"
"Mhm" She mumbled, hoping not to sound rude.

Thankfully her grandfather came from around the corner and ask if she was ready to leave. She said her goodbyes to Mike and then made her way up to the register. Her grandfather paid for her boots and then they made their way out of the store. He laughed at her as she climbed into the truck.

"I see you met Mike Newton." He chuckled after stating the boys name.
"Yeah.."
"He's a chatter box, but his intentions are good."

She just nodded her head and continued to look at the scenery as they made their way to the fishing area. She really hoped that all of the students at Forks were as nice as Mike; but hopefully not as over-friendly in the annoying way. She enjoyed her time with her grandfather, they ended up catching three fish before heading back home. He showed her around town a bit more, but took her home in plenty of time so she could finish getting settled in. She just had one more day of peace before she headed off into a completely new adventure known as High School.
