Author's Note: Okay I know I'm probably being lame but I just had to do it. Everybody didn't like Bella (well everyone I know) so I thought "hey lets make up a completely different person to replace Bella and add a few more people, create some enemies, and so on. I hope you guys like my version of Twilight long enough for me to finish it.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the original characters, and the original scenes in the story so, don't cut my head off if you see/read any scenes that are similar to the book so enjoy and please write a comment. I would completely love it! Thank you for your support!
I'm Joanna NOT Bella!
Does love conquer all? If it does then what happened to it? And if it's suppose to conquer all then why isn't it here to conquer the issue of divorce my parents have slumped down into? Maybe for them it existed a long time ago, then died from starvation. Today they decided to go through the divorce. Both them and their lawyers are down stairs deciding who gets what. Man this sucks. Well at least I get to choose who I get to go with. Sigh. While waiting to give them my answer, I lay on my bed listening to my favorite song, The Diary of Jane by Breaking Benjamin, at max volume. As soon as it gets to the good part I heard a soft knock at the door. I took off the headphones. "Who is it?"
"It's your mother, Emma," the interrupter answered. I got up off the bed and opened the door. I followed her down the shaggy carpet hallway and stairs till we branched off into the living room, where my dad, David, John her boyfriend, and the lawyers were. I went to go sit by David, my dad, since I was on his side. Well it is my mom's fault for the divorce. She just had to go and get unhappy and hook up with some complete stranger named John. Damn! Why did she have to be such a free spirit! You know she's the reason why I strongly dislike hippies. Well back to present day reality. I sat on the green leather sofa, which was across from the green love seat, where Emma and John were sitting, mom loves green.
"So Joanna," mom's lawyer started. He had short brown hair, bird like noise, brown eyes, and pale skin. "Are you ready to tell us your decision?" I nodded in response. I stood up and took my position in front of everyone. I cleared my throat.
"Okay...I'm goanna go live with dad."
"Why honey? Why would you want to go live with him?," she shoved a finger in his direction, "And besides John here would be a better fath-."
"Just shut up Emma!" I yelled letting all the anger I had towards her out, "If dad doesn't deserve the title father then you sure as hell don't deserve to be called mom," I stormed off to the stairs, she followed, "Emma leave me alone because if it wasn't because of you, I'd still have a family." I didn't turn around to look at her and she didn't force me. I slowly walked up the stairs to my room. Once inside, I let it all out. I crawled onto the bed and cried till I fell asleep.
The sound of chirping birds greeted me. I allowed a small smile to spread across my face but was soon erased when I remembered yesterday's event. Sigh. Not wanting to face the day I got off my twin sized bed and slowly walked over to the mirror. In the mirror a girl with dark brown skin and eyes stared at me looking depressed. I smiled at her and she did the same. I know, I know I probably sound like some kind of nut, but I'm not. I'm just depressed. "Joanna! Time to get up!" David yelled from the bottom of the stairs. I ran long dark brown fingers through my long black hair then started packing. When I was done and everything was packed up in David's blue Toyota, it was pretty much time to go. "I'm sorry sweet pea for ruining your life," David said when he got into the driver's seat. I shook my head and laughed.
"It's not your fault dad it's mom's and besides I'm glade I get to have you all to myself," I said then flashed him a smile, which faded away when I went back to staring out the window. To tell you the truth I'm happy that David and I are moving away and going to Fork, Washington. He got a chief position at Fork's police station. After packing the truck with all our belongings, we were on the road. As we sped through the streets to get on the highway, I looked out the window, watching the environment outside turn into blobs of colors and shapes until they were nothing and I was watching the back of my eyelids.
When we finally got to our new home, I helped dad put everything away until Jacob and Billy came over. Abruptly, Billy was kidnaped by David for tonight's game, leaving Jacob and me here alone to talk. "So how's it going J-Dog?" he asked with a bright smile, exposing rows of pearly white teeth.
"Fantastic," I replied, "You?" He shrugged and his long black hair slid to his back, covering the black wing design on his red plaid shirt.
"Same," he says plainly. As we talked on we made planes to go and hang out in Fork's hot spots when we have time, and to become study buddies, but not really study and watch a movie while eating our favorite foods. Man I missed this guy. We use to hang out every summer on the Reservation, when we were little. Hold on not like that! Jacob and I are just friends. We are so good of friends that we invented mud pies together and pretended that we were being chased by that thing in the diaper with the wings because he hated mud. Well any way after a while he said, "J-Dog, Billy and I have surprise for you. Well it's a gift from Billy, David and I." We walked on the other side of the house to have a blue cloth covering something come into view. I looked at him, giving him a questioning stare. He just looked away and started whistling.
"Fine I'll go look myself," I said playfully then went to see what was under the blue covering. Underneath was a dark green Evnoy. WHAT? I GOT AN ENVOY! I started jumping around and clapping, which I think Billy and David heard because they came outside to see what was all the commotion was about. When they did come out I tackled them both with a big hug. The rest of that night we finished the game and then Billy and Jacob went home. "Night guys," I said as they drove out of our driveway. When they were gone, David and I went our separate ways and went to bed.
The sound of my alarm going off scared me into awakeness. I grabbed the clock and threw it at the grey colored wall, then protested for five minutes before forcing myself out of bed. I dragged myself to the bath room and did the usual: brushing the teeth, washing the face, that kind of stuff. Well anyway, when I was out of the bathroom I went back to my room and put on a pair of blue jeans, white T-shirt, and a short-sleeved blue green button down shirt. With my hair in a ponytail and my bag on my back, I ran down stairs. "Hey dad," I said and grabbed a piece of toast.
"Morning honey," he said back and as soon as he said it he said, "Bye."
"See ya." We parted ways in the driveway, he to his job and me to my school. After a few minutes of driving the sign for Forks High came into view. Since it was still early in the morning the parking lot was somewhat empty. I'm so glade I won't need to worry about human interaction so early in the morning. However, I was soon disappointed when a boy my age scared the skin off my bones.
"You must be new here?" he said then introduced himself, "I'm Mike Newton, and you're?"
"A-person-who-wants-to-run-away-now Rose," I said, "nice to meet you." I grabbed his hand and shook it then walked away as if I never seen nor talked to him. However, it didn't discouraged him. Instead, he followed me non-stop to the front office and met me at the end of every class we didn't have together and walked me to every class we did have together until lunch time where he got me to sit with his group of friends.
"Hi," a girl that I was sitting next to me said. She had long blonde hair and perky blue eyes.
