Chapter 1

Ever since I was a little girl I could hear everyone around me's secrets. If I concentrate really hard I only hear the little stuff like a boy taking an extra cookie this morning from the cookie jar. It makes life hard sometimes. My best friend use to be an abuse victim, use to. one day she just stopped coming to school, I was only 8 I couldn't say anything to her, she would stop being my friend if I said anything to her about me knowing that her daddy beat up her and her mommy. And how was I supposed to say I know that your daddy beats you and then say I found out from your head? I honestly didn't know how I could help her. That was the day I lost my best friend lily. I still have the blue necklace that she gave to me the day before; it's real pretty too and usually cold against my skin. She said it was a present to me but I know that she took it from her daddy who stole it from the jewellery store across town

Grammy said that my gift skips a generation and varies in what we can do, see or hear. She also says that mom is bitter that she didn't get the 'gift'. She died a few years ago but maybe that's why mom hits me now, to take her frustrations out on me.

That my mom's biggest secret that she hit me, no one else in our family knows and she plans on keeping it that way.

When dad came to visit, we went on holiday just out to some lake and stayed there for a week. Hmmmm it must have been years ago, but I saw that things could be different in the way people get treated.

I almost forgot, my names Isabella swan I am 16 year old turning 17 in a month and today is the day that I am running away to forks.

That's were my dad, Charlie and half brother Emmet live. My dad met Emmet while working and decided to adopt him. I think that's he's only a year older than I am I however have never met Emmet before but all I can hope for is that he is nice as Charlie is.

It is along way from phoenix to forks. I honestly have no idea how im going to get there I only have a little money on me, or what is left of it from Renée steeling it all from me.

As I wait at the station there is a passed out drunk whose mouth is wide open.

'Ewww I think I saw a fly go in there. Ooah gross he smells and not like flowers.'

Finally the bus arrives its freezing and I only have a small back pack with a little food water and clothing that I had while living with Renée. This bus goes to Port Angeles that's not too far away from forks …. Well it's closer anyways but that's most of my money gone. But the bus smells like puke and isn't really looking too hot either, there is a toilet but I wonder if it's safe to use. Despite not paying much attention to the driver I notice that he is oldish probably around 55, his hair line is definitely receding and most defiantly he could use a bath.

After paying the driver the fair and looking round for a second I chose a seat, one that looks safe. I curl up in a ball and shut my eyes, I can do this the only thing I have to worry about now is how Charlie will react to me coming unannounced and arriving on his door step. And I sure as hell hope that no one here will hit me, I think Renée broke some thing last night and I just can't take the abuse anymore. As I slowly drifted off to sleep, my last thoughts were im finally going to be safe.

Hi everyone, im sorry that its not another chapter of memories fade but i just don't seem to be able to write anything on it.
