Prologue: Bella

They were the perfect family. They had everything people dreamed of. Money, nice house, lots of friends – but they had love, which most modern marriages lack in. Their love wasn't just the 'standard love'. It was something else, something different, something so intense that people could only imagine what it felt like. You could tell by the way they moved around each other that they were soul mates. They would be able to look at each other and know what they were thinking. The way their eyes lit up when they saw their face. How they would cuddle for hours on end, not moving - just feeling. They had always been perfect.

In high school he was the one who asked her out on a date. He had been mesmerised by her since she had started Forks High. He would watch her as she ate lunch with her friends and envy Mike Newton when he put his arms around her. He had felt the pull since he first set eyes on her. She was in the same situation, but never made it apparent. Not in school, not to her friends – she kept it a secret from everyone. He asked her after biology class. He asked her to go to the movies and then hang out after. She accepted of course. The date went perfect, too perfect, it was then clear that they were meant to be. When he walked her to her door that night she kissed him, after telling him earlier that evening that she didn't kiss on the first date.

They argued and split up and made up plenty of times through high school, but it was when they had to make that life changing decision that it really showed people how strong together they were. People had said they would split up after high school, it was just a fling. But they contacted each other every day, had an hour long conversation each night and met up each weekend. Even though they were on opposite sides of the country they still stayed together. He never looked at another girl and she never looked at another boy. They hadn't been a proper couple for three years, but they did it. They stayed together and later that year he proposed. She accepted as soon as saw the little, black, velvet box.

They married, and just like everything else that was perfect. The sort of wedding that is described in fairytales and storybooks. They both cried when they read their vows aloud. Declaring their love to their family and friends, and they were proud that they were so in love. Proud that they got to spend the rest of their lives together.

The first few years of their marriage were bliss. It never stopped been bliss, they argued yes, but it was nothing bad enough to ruin what they had. It went how the storybooks told it: love at first sight, marriage, pregnancy, rest of their lives. That is how it had gone. They had had a beautiful baby girl a year after they had got married. He owned a successful business, so they had the huge house, the flash cars and the luxury clothes. But it was obvious they only truly cared about each other, about their family.

They're lives should've been straight forward. But it wasn't her fault, it was theirs. It was their fault they lost control and she skidded away. It was their fault that their family would never be the same again. That the foundations of the seemingly indestructible bond had been shaken and tested to the limit. Not only tested but cracked, broken. That they couldn't be fixed – replaced. Something so strong that it would truly change these bonds.

After all – nothing's ever perfect.

Bella POV

"Be careful Bella, I don't want you getting hurt" he said. I chuckled softly. "No Bella, I'm been serious. There's some bad ice on the roads tonight" he warned.

"Of course I'll drive safe baby. Don't worry about me. I love you" I said smiling.

"I love you too, see you soon" he said before hanging up. I snapped my phone shut and put it in my bag. I waved at the receptionist as I walked past her. She smiled and wished me a safe journey home.

Edward had been right about the roads, there was ice everywhere. I drove slowly and took extra care on corners. I was going to be fine.

Headlights blinding, tires screeching, bonnet crushing. It all happened in the same second. My head hurt – really bad. I lifted my hand up to my forehead and felt something wet. I brought my hand back down to see it was red. Blood. I felt my eyes getting heavier as I sat still. My life flashed infront of my eyes. My childhood, my first kiss, my wedding, finding out I was pregnant. My last thought was of them. Then my eyes closed leaving them behind. Edward and Renesmme.

Authors Note: There is the prologue. I really want this story to be great and different from other stories like it, so please tell your friends about it and please review. It's really annoying when people read it and add the story onto story alert but don't review. I want to know what you guys think – honestly think. I'm not bothered by bad criticism or how the story could be improved, but please guys don't be mean. ALSO ALSO ALSO if there are any questions... just ask and I will reply ;)

Anyway, I'm going to try and update for this story once a week. The day will probably be Wednesday. BUT... I am a teen with exams, homework and the dreaded coursework so please if it doesn't appear on that day don't hurt me! I'll try my best though! I promise.

So please stick with this story and tell other people and review.
