Here we go... I'm trying my hand at fanfics again.... Anyways, summary!

Bella's parents die in a car crash. She can't find a a way to move on. Then she meets the dazzling Edward Cullen, who is nothing but a playboy. On the first day, he makes a reckless decision, vowing that he would get Bella. Will he succeed? And will Bella find move on?


Bella's POV

I felt so completely, utterly useless. The brilliant white walls of the hospital seemed to be closing in on me. I didn't dare look through the windows behind; my heart wouldn't survive. If it weren't for me, my parents wouldn't be there. They wouldn't be lying in a hospital bed, in a coma, leaving me with no clue when they would wake up or if they would wake up. if I hadn't been talking about how excited I was for summer, Renee would never have been distracted and we never would have been in such a horrible car accident. Unfortunately for me, I was the one left sitting here, pondering whether my parents would wake up or not. I'd rather the one lying there be me and not my parents.

The tears came and I wiped them away. I would let myself cry; my parents wouldn't be happy. I had to stay strong for them. I couldn't... I stumbled to my truck and drove home, crying the entire trip.

I walked up the stairs, to my parents room, and I lost it. I screamed and kicked and cried. Eventually I'd exhausted myself. I slept in their bed that night, emcopassed in their scents.


A year and a half later...

They never woke up. They were never able to smile and me and hug me and tell me everything would be alright, that they'd recover and go home with me. Since my parents' death, I'd never smiled, laughed - been happy. It made my memories come back, such painful memories. I ouldn't take it. I'd refused anyone's offer to help me. Even my best friends', Alice and Rosalie, advice I ignored. They called and called after the accident, but I had never once picked up. I knew they were upset and worried. But I couldn't let them see me this way, lifeless, like a zombie.

When school started, I tried to act normally. It was hard. I shied away from attention, never raising my hand in class, never once speaking to anyone. I even plugged my ears when people mentioned what they did with their parents during the holidays. I literally threw myself into the school work and my job at a local bookstore in Port Angeles. Even Alice and Rosalie gave up on me, though not completely. Sometimes I could see them send anxious glances at me as I sat by myself at lunch.

Today at school wouldn't, shouldn't be much different. It would be the same as any other day. I walked into the biology lab and took my seat at the very back. Nobody even took the time to glance at me as I entered the room. Everyone ignored me these days, simply because of my zombie state. I waited for the bell to ring, staring attentively at the black countertop in front of me.

Mr. Varner launched into his lesson as soon as the bell went. Ten minutes into the lesson I heard the door open. I looked up; not many people dared be late for Mr. Varner's class - he hated tardiness. It was a guaranteed detention if you were late. I looked at the boy standing sheepishly at the front. He was really good looking - like model-good looking. His eyes shone like emeralds and created great contrast between them and his hair, a strange bronze shade. Put in his pale skin and he looked like Adonis.

"Mr. Varner?" he asked. His voice was soft as velvet, smooth as honey. Mr. Varner raised an eyebrow.

"I'm Edward Cullen. I'm new. Sorry I'm late. I got lost." he apologized. Edward Cullen. That's his name. Somehow I got the feeling that he was lying about why he was late.

"Okay, I won't give you detention this time. Next time, no more excuses. Now hurry up and go sit at the seat in the back." Mr. Varner waved his hand dismissively at Edward.

I knew the seat that was empty was beside me. No one had ever wanted to sit beside me. I heard a few snickers as Edward strolled down the aisle. I looked away while Edward took his seat.

Mr. Varner continued with his lecture. I wasn't even listening...

Tap,tap... Who was tapping on my shoulder? Edward.

"What?" I whispered quietly, looking up for the first time. I heard a sharp intake of breath. Maybe it was because I was so ugly. Who knows?

"We're partners. Project." Edward pointed at the white board where Mr. Varner had written the project instructions.

"Sorry." I blushed. I actually blushed - I could help myself. He was so handsome. I had never blushed since the accident. I thought I was simply incapable of feeling anymore emotions. Maybe there was hope for me after all...

Edward's POV

I strolled leisurely to Biology. I opened the door to see the entire class staring at me. I smiled, embarassed. Looking at the teached, I asked,

"Mr. Varner?" He raised his eyebrow at me.

I introduced my self as Edward Cullen, explaining that I got lost therefore making me late for class. Which was not true. I'd actually spent the first ten minutes of class lip-locking with a girl in the janitor's closet. But what he doesn't know won't kill him.

"Okay, I won't give you detention this time. Next time, no more excuses. Now hurry up and go sit at the seat in the back." Mr. Varner warned me. I walked down the aisle, listening to the snickers and wondering what it was about. Eventually I found my seat.

The girl beside let her long mahogany hair fall as a curtain between us. I didn't say anything, simply turning my attention to Mr. Varner.

He was explaining about a project, a project that had to be done in partners - the one sitting next to you to be precise. The girl beside me didn't seem to be paying attnetion when Mr. Varner told us all to start on our projects. I tapped her twice, lightly on the shoulder.

"What?" she whipered, looking up for the first time. I took a sharp breath. She was beautiful. Wide chocolate brown eyes, luscious mahogany hair, pink lips, cream skin. She looked hurt for a moment. I wanted to take her in my arms and comfort her. There was something fragile about her.

I smiled crookedly, speaking.

"We're partners. Project." I pointed at the white board.

"Sorry." she murmured, blushing. The blush on her cheeks made her all the more appealing. And that was when I made a reckless vow to myself: I would get this girl no matter what.
