PREFACE?
I never expected to find my significant other so soon, especially not in Forks. Growing up was always very plain for me. I was always the invisible, quiet girl. My day to day preference was to stay in my room when I got home from school, finish my homework and read or listen to music. It's not that my old hometown never had people my age to hang around with because Phoenix, Arizona has an endless supply of teenagers. It's just that there was no one who caught my attention, no one to really be my friend (or boyfriend for that matter). Then all of a sudden I come to Forks and I'm the most popular girl in school. But the strangest part is that the most handsome, charming guy I ever laid eyes on comes along and sweeps me off my feet. Soon after he tells me he loves me. I love him too of course, unconditionally. It's impossible not too. He is everything I imagined in a boyfriend and so much more. Sometimes I even wonder if this is a dream. One day I'll wake up and he'll disappear. Right now though he is with me and that's all that really matters. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention one little thing. My knight in shining armor just happens to be a vampire.
It has been a year now since I first met Edward Cullen; a year that went by all too quickly. After saving my life for the hundredth time you would think he'd get sick of me and leave. Vampires don't eat (human food) or sleep, or age for that matter, so Edward spends all his time either holding me in his arms or protecting me from someone or something that tries to keep us apart. It's been pretty calm lately though, I must admit. After the James incident last year nothing life threatening decided to come our way (knock on wood). Having that said I still managed to get a few cuts and bruises over the year, but that comes with being the worlds biggest danger magnet.
CHAPTER 1 - Luck
I woke up to the sound of my annoying alarm clock and knew this wasn't going to be my day. Something will go wrong Bella, I can just feel it, but what? I staggered off my bed and fell forward towards my dresser only to meet a statue that caught my fall.
"Good morning my love," greeted Edward as he pulled me close to his arms. "You look different this morning, almost older."
"Edward? What are you doing here? You know my father is downstairs. What if he… WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!?! Did you say I looked older?" I yelled as I came to my senses. How dare he tell me that! I didn't want to look older. I wanted to stay the same, not age!
Suddenly he came toward me and pressed his cold lips against mine putting my heart rate through the roof. Leave it to Edward to distract me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and continued to kiss him with more force.
"Careful there love," He whispered as he pulled me away. "I was going to wait until I saw you in school but I wanted to be the first one to say this; happy birthday Bella!"
My jaw just dropped. I couldn't believe it! It was my birthday already? How could I not remember? Then it dawned on me. I was 18 years old and now older than my boyfriend.
"Oh no, why is this happening to me? Why Edward? Why couldn't you just turn me into a vampire!?! Edward now I'm older than you, ugh!"
"Bella, it's okay. It's no big deal. I love you and you love me. That's all that really matters. I don't want this to ruin your day my love. You're 18. This is a time to celebrate! Here, I got you a present," He reached into his pocket and pulled out a little white box with a blue ribbon on top. Again my jaw just dropped. "I know you don't like me spending money on you so I decided to give you something that belonged to me. This is what my mother left me before she died. It was something my father gave her. It's very important to me and I want you to have it."
He lifted my arms and placed the box in the palm of my hands. I couldn't think. I couldn't speak. I was angry and overwhelmed and happy all at the same time.
Inside the box was a gold necklace with a blue, heart shaped stone at the end. It was beautiful, too beautiful! I was speechless.
"Edward, I want to be very angry at you now for reminding me of this day but I can't. You didn't need to do this you know."
"You don't like it? It's okay if you don't. Just tell me, I won't be mad." His face quickly went from being bright and happy to sad and disappointed.
"No, no! I LOVE it! It's beautiful Edward, too beautiful. Thank you so much!" I swept in to give him a kiss but he was gone in a flash along with the necklace. Suddenly the chain was around my neck and he was back to my face holding me in his arms.
"Don't be mad love but this isn't the only gift you'll be receiving today. You'll never guess what Alice has in store for you." Then with one last kiss he was gone.
Hope you enjoyed my very first piece of writing. I'm not use to this kind of thing but i still enjoy it none the less. Stay tuned for more! :)
