Hey everyone this is a little story that has been floating around in my head for a while. I don't think the chapters will be very long at first. I don't really have an outline and I really just write as I go. I have decided the not go with a beta for right now. But I would love to thank Infame201 for pre reading this for me. Please give me some feed back. I would love to sink into this and knock chapters out as fast as I can.
Lose Myself
It's amazing how ten years can fly by. She hadn't stepped foot near Forks High since graduation. She ran far away from the drama of high school as soon as she could. Friends, boyfriends, and the town became too much for her. So, when her parents divorced at the end of her senior year, she decided to move to Florida with her mom and little sister Nessie.
College had been less drama, and she was finally able to be herself again. After college, she'd settled into a nice job at a publishing house. She was actually thinking about writing her own book. Writing was something she found in college that helped her cope with things. The first year had been tough because her parents were still fighting over custody for Nessie, but things calmed down after her dad finally gave up. It was his fault for the divorce anyway.
She'd received word from her childhood best friend a month before that their ten year reunion had been planned. At first, she told Angela that she wouldn't make it, but here she stood staring at the welcome sign.
"Didn't think I'd see you here." A voice startled her out of her thoughts.
"I guess I could say the same thing to you," she said turning to face the voice.
"Well, I still live here."
"You make that sound like it's my fault."
He just shrugged. "How's Florida?"
"Warm and dry." She turned back towards the school. "How's Rose?"
"Married to Emmett."
"Oh."
"I thought Angela would have told you. I see her around town a lot," he said kicking a rock with his shoe.
It was Bella's turn to shrug. "She tries to stay away from certain topics."
"Oh."
"Oh my god! Bella Swan, is that you?" An over excited voice screamed from across the parking lot.
"Alice?" Bella asked when the person got closer.
"In the flesh. I didn't think you would ever be back in Forks. It's so good to see you." She threw her arms around her in a fierce hug.
"It's good to see you, too," she said in a chuckle.
"Well, come on in. You have to tell me everything about Florida." Alice started dragging her towards the school.
Bella looked over her shoulder, and Edward was gone. Just like in high school, he always bailed when one of her friends would show up.
