A/N: Hello Everyone!! As some of you may know, I haven't updated my other story "The Odyssey" in a while. This is because it was my version of Breaking Dawn, and since Breaking Dawn is now out, I no longer have inspiration to finish it. Instead, I have thought of this new story called "Invisible" to take the place of my other story. You may notice some phrases from my other story in this one. This story starts of similar to "The Odyssey," but has a completely different plot! So, I hope you enjoy this new story! Please R&R!!

Chapter 1: I Should Have Turned Back
As of now, my life was amazing. I had a caring family, who would do anything for me. I had a loving vampire boyfriend (soon to be husband) that loved and cared for me. I had great friends who supported me. I had food and a warm home. I had everything that I needed. I considered myself to be the luckiest girl in the universe, that nothing could get any better. What I didn't know was that it wouldn't get better, it would get worse. My friends, my family, my love, my life . . . gone. It all happened when I was driving to see the Cullens. I was going to meet them at their house so we could all go shopping together. Even though I'd rather die then go shopping, I wanted to spend time with my family. I'm not a very superstitious person, but they weren't kidding when they said "be careful what you wish for."
XXXXXXX
"Alice, I told you I don't want to go shopping," I complained over the phone.
"Oh come on Bella, it's not like it will kill you to go out in public once in a while," she advised.
I rolled my eyes in frustration.
"Why can't you bring someone else, like Jasper or Rosalie," I requested, my voice sounding a little irritated now?
"They're all coming," she proclaimed, "All we need is you now."
"No," I mumbled.
"Edward will be there," she taunted.
This made me think things over. I always loved spending time with Edward. It almost hurt when I was away from him for too long, as corny as that sounds, it was true. I knew Alice would use the Edward card eventually. She knew I would give in once she played it.
"Ok, fine," I huffed.
"YAYYYYYYYY," she squealed, making me jerk the phone away from my now deaf ear.
"I will get you back for this Alice Cullen," I threatened.
I don't even think she heard that last part because I could hear her doing a victory dance around the room.
"I CAN'T WAIT," she shrieked, "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yeah, ok," I sighed, "bye."
The phone clicked and then went dead.
I set the phone down on the counter and started making tonight's dinner. I decided we would be having spaghetti and meat balls. It was simple and easy to make. Surprisingly, Charlie hadn't gotten any better at cooking since I'd been around.
It only took me 15 minutes to make the spaghetti and meat balls, and by the time I was done Charlie came home from work. We both grabbed a plate and sat down to eat.
"What's on the agenda for tomorrow Bells," he asked while he stabbed one of the meat balls on his plate?
"I'm going shopping with the Cullens," I confessed. I could feel myself grimace as I said it.
Charlie stopped eating to stare at me in shock.
"You, sh . . . shopping," he stuttered, "that doesn't sound like you at all."
"I never said I was happy about going," I exclaimed, "I just want to be with them, even if that does mean going to the mall."
"Well, have fun then," he chuckled.
"I don't know if fun is the right word," I grumbled.
We ended the shopping conversation right after that. For the rest of the time we ate mostly in silence. We rarely talk during dinner. I think of the silence as soothing rather than awkward. It gives me time to think.
We finished our dinner and put the dishes away before I went up to bed. Charlie headed toward the living room, to sit in his lounge chair and watch some of the sports highlights before he went up to bed.
"Goodnight dad," I yawned.
"Night Bells," he answered.
I trudged slowly up the stairs and finally made it to my room. I opened my door and saw Edward sprawled across my bed with his arms behind his head. I strolled to the bed and collapsed beside him.
"You'd better be there tomorrow," I muttered through clenched teeth.
Through the corner of my eye, I could see a smile playing on his lips.
"It won't be that bad," he reassured. "Just think… I'll be there." "We can suffer together!"
"Yeah, you're right," I admitted, trying to hold back a smile.
I could never stay mad when Edward was around. It was near impossible.
"Do you want me to pick you up tomorrow," he asked?
"What…You're not staying," I asked, a hint of disappointment clearly in my voice.
"Well, I have to go hunting tonight before we go tomorrow, just incase."
"No… it's ok. I'll just meet you at the house."
He pulled me onto his lap and put both of his arms around me. I leaned my head against his cold chest. We sat like this for what felt like hours. All we did was talk. My eyes eventually started to get droopy, and my consciousness started to slip. The last thing I remember was closing my eyes and drifting off to the sweet sound of Edward humming a song that I recognized as my lullaby.
I woke up the next morning feeling unbearably hot. I was so used to waking up with cold arms around me, but not today. Today I woke alone.
I laid in my bed for the next fifteen minutes until I finally decided I should get up to get ready for the day ahead.
I went downstairs to get myself some breakfast. It was definitely a cereal kind of day! That only took me ten minutes. I went back up to my room to change into some clothes. The mall wasn't anything special, so all I wore was a pair of jeans and a brown zip up hoodie. As for my hair, all I did was let it hang limply around my face.
I was finally ready, so I did a check over in the mirror and then headed downstairs to grab my keys. I was kind of running a bit late because I told Edward I would be there at 12:30. It was already 12:20 and it took fifteen minutes to get there.
When I walked outside it was pouring rain and thick fog coated the air. I almost turned around to go back inside because I didn't want to drive in this weather, but I didn't want to let Alice down either. I deliberated for a minute on what I should do and finally decided that I wasn't going to let Alice down. Besides, the Cullen's house wasn't that far away.
I stepped into my truck, turned the heat up full blast, pulled out of the driveway and drove off to the Cullen's house.
The weather was worse then I thought. It was hard to see through and it made the roads really slippery. I was only five minutes away from their house when I noticed I needed gas, and I wasn't going to make it there with what I had left, so I stopped at the nearest gas station.
When I finished, I pulled out of the gas station and looked both ways to see if there were any cars coming. I couldn't see through the rain very well, but from what I saw everything was clear. I pushed my foot on the gas pedal and started heading toward the house again. Alice was going to hurt me. I was already ten minutes late. As I was pulling out, a loud horn blared in my ears followed by the screeching of tires. I whipped my head around to look out my window. Two bright lights shone right in my eyes. Before I could even blink, the car slammed into my side of the truck; t-boning it. Then everything went black. The only sound I could hear was the echo of my blood curdling screams.
My eyes shot open to the sound of a TV buzzing in the distance. I looked around to see where the hell I was.
My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. This couldn't be right. I was laying in the Cullen's kitchen.
I scrambled to my feet and walked into the living room where all the noise was coming from.
As I stepped into the room, I saw that all of the Cullens were watching the TV, none of them seeming to notice my presence.
"What's taking that girl so long," Rosalie complained?
"She did say 12:30 right Edward," Alice asked.
He nodded his head.
Were they CRAZY?! I was standing right here!
"Alice, I'm right here," I said loudly while taking a step in her direction.
"Maybe she fell down the stairs or something," Emmett suggested, "It is Bella after all."
My heart started to beat faster and harder as I realized there was something very, very wrong!
