This is my second story, I hope you like it and please me nice and review.

Chapter 1

It has been months since Edward left me. It feels as if someone has ripped a giant hole inside me, and the ragged edges of it still cause me pain. When he first left I would wrap my arms around myself, holding myself together as if I didn't my insides would all fall out. I couldn't see how my life would go on. He was my life, I loved him and I thought he loved me, how wrong could I have been. He saved me from his own brother only to hurt me himself far worse, by telling me he no longer wanted me and then he left me. Taking with him my heart and my family. I had come to think of the Cullen's as my family and had hoped they saw me the same. I remember crying and feeling empty and having no idea how my body was still able to keep producing tears. The hurt hadn't gone away but it was numbed slightly. I knew I needed to move on for Charlie's sake if not my own.

I went to school, and paid more attention in class, my grades improved and my friends starting talking to me again. I must have been awful company before; I shuddered to think what they had to endure. For the first time in what seemed like forever I looked up from my lunch to notice who was sitting at our table. There was the usual crowd of Angela, Jessica, Lauren, mike, Tyler, Eric and Ben and a new face I didn't recognise. He had a perfect jaw, tousled dirty blond hair and beautiful blue eyes. I knew I must have been staring because he looked straight at me, "Bella are you okay?" Angela asked looking at me worried,

"Hmm yeah I'm fine" I mumbled, she must have noticed who I was staring at,

"Oh sorry Bella you proberly don't remember Ryan, he started a month ago."

"Sorry" I said apologising to him, I felt like such an idiot for not remembering him. What must he think of me, oh god he must have seen me in my zombie like state, great trust me to leave an impression.

I couldn't seem to take my eyes off him even as I felt the familiar colour flood my cheeks. He smiled; he had an amazing smile that lit up his whole face. What did this all mean, I had only had one real relationship, did I like this guy, I couldn't even remember who he was yet I couldn't stop looking at him and his beautiful smile, which in turn made me smile. When the bell rang for class, he offered to walk with me; I wasn't going to say no. We had pretty much the same classes, and spent most of those passing notes to one another asking questions. I wasn't normally this confident but this seemed so natural to me. As Ryan walked me to my truck I noticed Angela smiling at us, she must be happy I was moving on and seemed like my old self. I knew Charlie would be happy that I was moving on and meeting people.

The next year pasted by so fast, I had begun dating Ryan not long after I came out of my zombie mode and was introduced to him; we just seemed to click together. I was finally starting to move on; he knew that I had been dating someone and that he had broken up with me and moved away. He had said he was an idiot to have ever let me go, but Edwards's loss was his gain. He always knew how to make me feel special and wanted. I would never forget or ever stop loving Edward, but he didn't feel the same and was never coming back. So I did what he wanted me to do and moved on.

I was happy, graduation was coming up and we had already heard back from quite a few colleges. I was excited, in a few months I would be leaving home and starting my new life, it would be like a new moon, a fresh start. Ryan and I were now pretty serious, Charlie approved of him more than he had of Edward but he still thought I needed the sex talk. Which to say was embarrassing doesn't even begin to cover it. Reminding me that although I may have a good head on my shoulders, hormonal teenage boys didn't think the same way, and to promise him that if we ever did, not that he wanted to know, that we would be careful. I couldn't believe I had to have that conversation. Graduation was now only a week away, everyone had chipped in and we had hired and decorated a hall at a hotel. Soon I would be graduating from high school, and starting my new life at college with my new boyfriend, who knows what the future holds.
