Amelia Swan was the outsider in her family. Her step father hated her, her mother thought she was useless, and Bella was always the golden child. The only one who truly loved her and believed in her was her father. When Bella forces Amelia to move to Forks with her, Amelia doesn't complain. She gets to go home to her beloved father. As she goes through Forks she meets the Cullens. Amelia knows something is wrong with them and feels strange around them. Of course unlike Amelia, Bella is drawn to him, while Amelia prefers her old best friends from the reservation. How will things turn out for Amelia when her sister hates her?

Growing up was hard for me. My parents got a divorce when I was only little. I was forced to live with my mom and I barely ever saw my father because my mother only allowed me to go if Bella came with, and she never wanted to. I love my father. He meant the most to me and I was a big daddy's girl. Bella was different.

She's quiet and selfish, while I am outgoing and selfless. She was favored by our mother, while I was favored by our father. My mother, for some unknown reason, actually hates me. She is always yelling at me, acting as if everything I do is a mistake and wrong, and she is always 'forgetting' my birthday which is just after Bella. Bella was born at 11:45, while I was born at midnight. Then my step father... He hates me, but he is always staring at me. Personally I do not want to be alone with him. I'm always afraid he'll do something by the way he looks at me.

I hate my home life. I can not even tell you how many times I have wished to be able to go and live with my dad. My wishes were finally answered though. Our mother always wasn't able to go with 'Phil' as he went on tour for being a baseball player. She had to stay home with Bella and I, but now we were being sent off to our father's so that she could. Bella is doing it 'out of the goodness of her heart' which I know is bullshit, but I can't figure out the real reason. Either way I am happy to be going home.

With me there is only one real thing that means the most to me and that is loyalty. What are you without loyalty? I'm usually a sweet and understanding person, but when you break your loyalty to me or someone close to you then I am a bit harsh, angry, and cold towards you. Loyalty is everything to me. It was simply why Bella and I did not get along. She only cared about herself never mind ever thinking of having loyalty towards someone else.

Bella and I even look nothing alike. Her hair was a mousy brown, while mine was a very dark brown that almost looked black. Her hair wasn't straight, but it wasn't curly like mine. She had dull green eyes, while I have those dark brown eyes that everyone loves. She was pale as ghost and I had dark tan skin. She was tall and lengthy, while I was short and petite. She was a bit too skinny, while I was the perfect weight with curves. She was always in jeans and some stupid t-shirt, while I was in about everything. I wore dresses, skirts, blouses, jeans, tank tops, and shirts. I wasn't a girly girl or tomboy, but somewhere in between.

Today I was dressed in dark skinny jeans, a white long sleeved shirt, and chocolate brown boots that went up to my mid calf. I stood beside my sister at the airport waiting for our mother to finish saying bye to Bella, because apparently I didn't need to hear her say goodbye to me.

I stood with my arms crossed as Bella walked over. "Alright let's go." She said snappily as we boarded the plan. "Mom is making us sit together, so you're getting the window seat.
She said with a snobby attitude. I had no problem sitting in the window seat. I liked looking out at the clouds, if I got bord then I would just look through my dirt bike magazine. That's another thing that made us different. She was too clumsy and terrified of bikes. I had my own neon green dirt bike and a black beautiful motorcycle. Both were already at my dad's house. My helmet for my dirt bike matched my bike, but was a Monster, the energy drink, helmet that they no longer produced. My gloves were also neon green. My helmet for my motorcycle was black along with my black fingerless leather gloves for that bike.

I couldn't wait to go home and see my father. Forks was also better than Phoenix when it came to riding my dirt bike. I also missed my best friend Jake. I doubt Bella even remembers him. He had the biggest crush on her growing up. He was a great guy and was a lot like me. Our dads always joked that we were the real twins. Jake was always like a big brother to me and I missed him all these years. I wasn't sure if he remembers me, but I hoped he did because I really am looking forward to seeing him again.

As I sat down Bella sat beside me. She went right into reading as I closed my eyes and got some sleep.

...

I felt the turbulence before anything else. It was what woke me up. I looked around to find Bella reading... still. I don't think she does anything else. I like reading as much as the next person, but there's a thing called being outdoors. Her type of outdoors is reading a book on the front steps. Bella and I were just too different to be even considered sisters. When I was younger I actually thought I was adopted. Silly I know, but for a little kid who looked nothing like her mom or sister... you start to wonder. The only thing that made me realize I wasn't was the fact that my dad and I were a lot alike and looked alike. His hair wasn't as dark as me nor was his eyes, but there was similarities.

Once we landed I stood up and grabbed my carry on bag and waited for Bella to get up. "Bella we've landed." I told her as I waited a good five minutes.

"I know, I'm not stupid, Amelia. I'm just trying to finish the chapter." As much as Bella liked to read she was a very slow reader. So I climbed over her, earning a glare and I grabbed my school bag that was above us. I only carried on my school bag and my lap top bag. My laptop bag held of course my laptop and all my dirt bike magazines along with my motorcycle magazines. It also holds my phone and it's charger.

I swung my backpack on my back and looked back down at Bella. "When you decide you are ready to join me, I'll be out of this plane and collecting my luggage." I told her as I tied my grip on my laptop bag.

"Mom said we have to stick together and-

"Bella, I'm going either come or join later." With that said I started off the plane. I followed all the signs and found the luggage claim. All my bags were black. My laptop bag was black with a neon green skull on it, my backpack was black with neon green zippers ad zipper paths (Idk what you call them), and my suitcase was just like my backpack, but with a neon green skull on the front also.

My favorite colors were black and neon green, so of course my bags would look like that too. I grabbed my suit case, it was one of those camping duffle bag looking ones, and I headed for the exit where I knew my dad would be waiting for us. I didn't really worry about Bella because I know that since I left her she'll be moving fast to catch up with me. Bella hated being left alone. I think it's for years of being spoiled and having all the attention, but I don't know.

I walked down the hall of the airport and that's when I saw him. My dad. Still the same as always. His messy brown hair, his mustache, and his chief of police uniform on. That was my dad and just seeing him made me smile. I dropped my bags, careful with my laptop bag, and ran right for him. "Daddy." My dad broke into a big grin as he scooped me up in his arms and spun me around.

"There's my little princess." He said as he kissed my temple. I smiled and hugged him tightly.

"I missed you so much daddy." I told him and my father chuckled before setting me down.

"Well, I missed you too princess. Go get your bags and we can get it all loaded up." I nod and went and got them just as Bella rounded the corner.

"Figured you'd show up eventually." Bella just gave me icy glare before going over to our dad. Of course he didn't welcome her the same way. Just with an awkward smile and hug. I walked over with a smile. "Hey, daddy, have you heard from Jake yet?" I asked, causing him to glance over.

"Yup, I got a surprise for your sister. I'm hoping she'll like it." My dad whispered to me as he helped me get mine and Bella's things in the car.

"What kind of surprised?" I asked a little disheartened that Bella was getting something when I wasn't.

"Well you have your bike and I figured Bella could use something to get to school with, so I had Billy come up with something." I leaned against the car and looked at him.

"Did you get her an old fix me up?" I asked and my dad blushed.

"You think she'll like it?" I smiled.

"Oh, she'll love it." I said as I shut the trunk.

"Of course I didn't just get Bella something. Here you go, Billy got this for me to give to you." I turned and saw my dad holding out a necklace. It had a silver chain with a black amulet on it. It was of the Quileute symbol.

"Oh wow." I said as I took it from him.

"Billy said something about it being his sister... and um thought you'd like it." I frowned and looked up at my dad.

"I never knew Billy had a sister." I cocked my head to the side trying to see if I could remember her.

"You never met her. She moved away about the time you and Bella were born." He said as he lead me to the back door.

"Oh... that's too bad. Anyone related to Billy has to be amazing." My dad got a strange smile on his face as I said that. it was one a man got when thinking of the woman he loved. It was strange to see that smile on my dad when talking about someone who wasn't mom. "Were you and her close?" I asked.

"Me and Sarah?" He questioned, his voice going up an octave. "I was best friends with her brother, that's all." My dad never once lied to me, but I knew in that moment that he was. I couldn't figure out why he'd want to lie to me, but I knew if I asked I'd only make him nervous.

"Oh... okay. When we get home would you mind if I hung out with Jake and the guys. I haven't seen or talked to Embry and Quil in years." My father smiled and nod.

"Sure, kiddo. I don't mind just as long as you hang out with your old man tonight." I smiled.

"When is the next game? I want to watch with you and Billy." This got my dad laughing.

"There's a reason you are my specially princess." I smiled and got into the car, Bella sulking from the attention all on me, and my dad came around the other side and got in.

I stared out the window as we rolled down the road. I couldn't help, but gawk at our surroundings. It was so much different here than at Phoenix. I loved it. I couldn't wait to begin my new life here with my dad and crazy friends. I missed Embry, Jake, and Quil so much. They all were my best friends and it was hard to be without them for so long.

"Your hair's longer." I came back into reality of being in the car when my father asked Bella this. It had been quiet since we started home. Bella refusing to talk to our father, which was as always horrible.

"Hmm I cut it since last time I saw you." Bella said as she touched her hair. She had curled it to look more like mine, don't ask me why, but she still did it and now she touched it as if it was silk. I leaned forward in my seat.

"Well... Guess it grew out again." y father was trying, but Bella obviously didn't notice or care. The silence came back and this time I broke it.

"Did you cut your hair daddy? It looks shorter." I said from the back seat. My father smiled at me, glad I was there to break the awkward silence up.

"Ya... Sue Clearwater cut it for me." I smiled at my father and nod.

"Sue is very good at cutting men's hair. She cuts her son and husband's hair all the time." I said in agreement. My father smiled as we pulled up to the house. "Oh... home. I missed it so much." My father laughed and looked at me.

"I'm sure you will know what room is yours. Go ahead up. I'll bring your things." I smiled at him and got out of the car and all but ran up the stairs. The house wasn't too big, but it was nice enough. Only one bathroom sadly, but three bedrooms.

As always my father was right. I found my room right away. The walls were a vibrant green and the bedding was black. The flooring was dark and so was the furniture. There was a nice bed, queen size, that looked like the posts were hand crafted. The bed had a silk green curtain that went around it, it was a canapy bed, which was what I loved. There was also a desk with a green leather chair, a dresser, a closet with french doors, two bedside tables with green lamps on them, a ceiling fan that was also green, and there was also a green beanbag chair in the corner with a book shelf near it. It would become my reading spot for sure.

I was in love with the room since I walked in. "Do you like?" My dad asked as he put the bags down.

"I love it. Did you do all this?" I asked as I turned and faced him.

"Sue helped a lot." I smiled.

"Well thank you, daddy. I love it."

"As you know there's only one bathroom." I gave a sigh and turned towards him.

"We'll make due."

"I thought so. I cleared some space for you and Bella. I hope you both can work it out when it comes to the bathroom." I nod.

"Don't worry, we'll try and make it work." He nods and gave me a quick kiss to my temple.

"Good, thank you so much." I nod.

"Your welcome." I heard a car horn making my eyes widen.

"That'd be..." My father started to say but I was already running down the stairs. I could hear my father's laughter from my room as I threw open the front door and ran into Jake's arm.

"Jake!" I squealed and he laughed and spun me around.

"Hey, Amy. How's my favorite girl?" I smiled and pulled back to look him over.

"Better not that you are here. I missed you sooo much Jake." He laughed and kissed my forehead.

"I missed you too." He told me.

"Did you miss me?" I turned and saw Billy rolling up. I smiled.

"Of course I did." I said as I hugged him. "I missed you so much, Billy. I missed everything about Forks." Jake and Billy both laughed as my father walked out.

"Girl ran out so fast I couldn't even finish my sentence." My dad said as he wrapped an arm around me.

"Well it's not every day I get to see two of my favorite people." I told him, earning smiles from both the Blacks.

"So this is it?" He asked as he looked at the truck.

"Yup, but are you sure Bella is going to like it. I mean-

"Don't worry, Billy. She'll love it." I promise him. I know Bella is selfish and horrible, but I still knew what she liked and she would be happy to get a truck for our father seeing how she has been trying to get our mom to give her a car for the past year.

"I could hear you guys coming all the way down the road. Good to see you." My dad said as he shook Jake's hand and pulled him into a hug. Jake smiled and hugged him back.

I turned as I heard Bella coming towards us. "Bella you remember Billy Black." My dad said and he introduced him. I saw confusion in Bella's eyes, which told me she didn't.

"Yeah." She said with a nod as she shook his hand. I rolled my eyes, but remained silent. Defiantly not the same as me. "You're looking good." She told him and I could see she was starting to remember him.

"Still dancing." I smiled and took his hat. He just laughed as I placed it on my head.

"It fits now." I said, causing everyone but Bella to laugh.

"I'm glad you both are finally here. Charlie, here hasn't shut up about it since you told him you were coming." I smiled and sat on Billy's lap.

"Aw how sweet." I said causing my father to roll his eyes.

"Alright keep exaggerating. I'll roll you into the mud." My dad said, causing us all to laugh.

"Maybe I should get up them." I teased as I stood. Billy only laughed and stole his hat back.

"Or I'll ram you into the ankles." Billy said as he started for my dad. I laughed and Jake shook his head at the two of them.

"Want some of this?"

"Ya bring it." I laughed and looked at Jake.

"Our dad act like children." He nod in agreement as Bella looked at him.

"Hi, I'm Jacob." I rolled my eyes at how flustered he looked. Same old Jake, always going for the ones who just don't like him in that way. I only wished he would find someone good.

"Hey ya." Bella said in her usual shy voice, obviously not getting who Jake was.

"We uh used to make mud pies when we were little." Jake said causing me to stifle my laughs at how pathetic he sounded.

"Oh I remember." I rolled my eyes.

"Well I leave you both here. I'm going to go and see my other friends. Tell my dad?" Jake nod.

"Sure Ams. See you later." I nod and went to my bike that rested in the drive way. I slipped my helmet on and started the engine. I didn't feel like listening to the two of them. I drove down and paused.

"Don't forget school." My dad said causing me to nod as my father handed my bag to me.

"No problem." I told him before driving towards the reservation. I kept my bag on me tightly as I drove to the reservation school.

I pulled out and spotted Embry and Quil easily. I turned the bike off and put my helmet on the ground beside the bike as I parked and headed over to the boys. "So I heard you two are finally together?"

"What where on earth did you..." Quil turned and his eyes widen as he saw me.

"Amy?" I smiled at Embry.

"Hey Embers." He laughed and pulled me into a hug.

"I missed you sooo much."

"Hey share!" Quil yelled at Embry as he pulled me into his arms instead. I laughed and hugged Quil.

"Quil." Embry whined.

"Don't worry, I'll be here for at least the rest of the year. You both have time with me just as Jake does." I told them as I pulled away from Quil and hugged Embry again.

"Good because we miss our swan princess." I rolled my eyes and pulled away.

"Now you just lost your right to hug me at the moment." I told him before going and hugging Quil again. Quil laughed as Embry whined. "Now hate to just come and go, but I do have school to get to and I don't want to be late so..." They both nod and kissed a cheek each.

"See you later."

"Bye Amy, love you." I rolled my eyes and blew them each a kiss before heading back to my bike. They all were like brothers to me and I have no idea what I would do without them.

Bella and I didn't stay together as we got to school. I headed in the opposite direction with looking for my class. I didn't want to be here. I would have so much rather go to the reservation school, but I can't, which sucks. I was stuck at this school with Bella and not with Quil, Embry, and Jake.

Once gym came I was in my zone. Bella was good in school, but I was better in sports. Don't get me wrong I do get good grades, but not like Bella. I was dressed in shorts and a t-shirt as we played volleyball. I could Bella failing miserably. I hit the ball really good as Bella made new friends. I simply rolled my eyes. I didn't want to make anymore friends. I need only my reservation friends.

When lunch came I was already beginning my homework and eating. I felt suddenly really sick. I look up and saw some weird kids start walking in. There was five of them. A blonde curly hair girl walking beside a tall guy with buzzed brown hair. Then there was a pixie looking girl beside a messy haired blonde. At the end of this little trail of kids was a boy with messy brown hair. I have no idea why, but these guys made me feel naustious. I put my hand to my head as I started getting a massive headache. I grabbed my bag and started packing up with shaky hands.

I threw away my lunch and started for the door. I needed to go see the nurse I felt like I was going to puke. I felt shaky and warm, like I was burning up. The farther I got from the cafeteria the better I feel. Something was wrong. I've been feeling weird since I got here. I hope I'm not coming down with something.
