I'm up with Bella's POV

Chapter One

Bella's Point Of View

Preschool

Phoenix, Arizona

"Mommy! Please don't make me go!" I begged.

"Sweetie, you have to go to school. You'll make lots of friends, okay? Don't worry." Mommy replied, kissing my forehead before grabbing my hand and leading me into Summit Elementary.

I saw a boy clinging to his mommy's leg, "Momma! I don't want you to leave!" The boy had pretty hair and green eyes.

I watched as his mommy gave him a hug and a kiss and told him she'd be back in a little while to pick him up. He nodded, tears in his eyes.

My mommy already left. He sniffled and wiped his eyes.

I walked over to him, "Hi." I said quietly.

He looked up at me and wiped the back of his hand across his cheek, clearing the tears, "Hi."

"I'm Bella." I said.

"Hi, Bella. I'm Edward." He said with a smile.

"That's a cool name." I smiled back.

He blushed, "Thanks. Your name is pretty."

I blushed, "Thank you." I said, "Let's go play!" I said excitedly.

He nodded and we played tag for a while before Ms. Vega called us in to eat lunch.

Edward and I played together for the rest of the day.

Edward's mommy got there before mine did, "Eddie, how was school?" his mommy asked.

He hugged her, "It was so much fun, momma! I have a new friend!"

His mommy smiled, "Really? Who?"

"Her name is Bella. C'mon! You have to meet her!" Edward said, grabbing her hand and pulling her over to me.

"Bella, this is my momma, Elizzybeth." He said, "Momma, this is Bella, my best friend."

"Elizabeth." She corrected with a smiled, "Nice to meet you, Bella." She said sweetly.

I smiled, "Nice to meet you, too."

"Well, Eddie, we should get going. Daddy's gonna be wondering where we are."

"Okay." He said, "Bye, Bella!" he said and came and hugged me.

I hugged him back, "Bye, Edward."

My mommy came and picked me up and we went home. Ah, I love school.

Bella's Point Of View

Fifth Grade

Phoenix, Arizona

Edward and I rode the bus to school just like every morning. We were laughing and joking as we walked to the bus stop. I was trying to make him feel better.

Both of his parents are sick with the Spanish Influenza.

In truth, I was also trying to make myself feel better. The Masens are like parents to me. Elizabeth and Edward are incredibly sweet and caring.

We boarded the bus and headed off to Summit Elementary.

Edward and I aren't in the same class so we don't get to see each other until lunch time. I strolled into the lunch room to see Edward sitting at our usual spot. I sat next to him with my brown paper bag and began to eat.

We talked and joked and made plans for the weekend. We went out for recess and hung out on the swings. The bell rang and we said our good byes.

The rest of the day passed slowly. I trudged out to the flag pole where Edward and I meet everyday.

He wasn't there.

He's always there.

I knew immediately that something was wrong. I ran back inside up to Mr. Weller, Edward's teacher.

"Um, Mr. Weller?" I asked timidly.

"Hm? Oh, hello, Bella. What brings you here?" he asked politely.

"Uh, I was just wondering if you knew where Edward was."

Mr. Weller's face fell, "Bella, he left early."

"Why?" I asked, puzzled.

"His parents… passed away." He said sadly.

"What!?" I exclaimed. I was panicking. Edward must be so upset. "Do you know where he went?"

"No. A social worker came and took him."

I was trying to keep the tears in but not succeeding.

I took off running out of the school and down the street to Edward's house.

I knocked on the door as I tried to catch my breath.

No answer.

I knocked again.

No answer.

I ran home, hoping maybe my mom had heard something.

She was still at work.

I got on my computer to email her because she can't talk on the phone at work.

ONE NEW MESSAGE

I looked at the send address. It was from Edward.

To: Clumsybella913

From: Masenman620

Bella,

You've probably heard by now but, in case you haven't, my parents passed away. I'm sorry I couldn't ride the bus home with you today. I'm with a social worker now and she said she'll let me call you as soon as possible.

I'm moving to Washington to live with one of my father's close friends. I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye. I miss you so much and I'll email you everyday.

You'll always be my best friend.

I love you.

Edward

Tears came down relentlessly as I read. My best friend is gone and I didn't even get to say goodbye.

Bella's Point Of View

Eleventh Grade

Phoenix, Arizona

I got up this morning and took a shower, threw on my skinny jeans and my black Metro Station shirt with my rocket dogs, and lined my eyes with black and put mascara on.

I sat at my computer desk typing a new email to Edward.

He's now the quarterback on the football team and gets straight A's. He says he pretty happy. He has a brother and a sister. His brother, Emmett, is a year older than us, and his sister, Alice, is our age. His adoptive parents are very nice. Carlisle is a doctor and Esme renovates houses.

I pressed send. I don't give him too many details of my life. I don't really want him to know that I cut myself or wear all black or anything like that. He's obviously a major prep and would be freaked if I told him.

A knock echoed through my room. "Who is it?" I called.

"Who the hell do you think it is, you little brat?" Renee said, opening the door.

Renee is a bit of a mess. She got remarried a year after Edward left. Her husband is abusive (to both of us) so she's a wee bit…um…bitchy.

I sighed and turned around.

"Get off that fucking computer and go to school." She demanded.

I closed out of Yahoo and grabbed my Paramore messenger bag. I slung it over my shoulder and stalked out the door.

I walked up to my black Lamborghini and got in. Phil's a jerk but he sure can dish out the cash.

I drove slowly down the sunny road, thankful that it's the last day of school.

School passed by in a blur. I drove home to see Renee and Phil sitting at the dining room table.

"Bella, come in here." Phil said.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Bella, we're sending you to Washington to live with your father." Renee said.

"Um, mom, dad passed away two months ago." I said. Charlie had gotten into a car accident two months ago and didn't make it. I'm still having trouble coping but it's getting a little better.

"Well, you're still going to Washington. You're old enough to live on your own." Phil snapped.

"Why?" I demanded.

"One, because you're a selfish, snobby, little brat. Two, because we're moving to Florida so Phil can play baseball with the suns." Renee said.

I gaped at them. They were just shipping me off to Washington?

"Don't worry, we already bought your ticket and we'll give you some money." Phil said.

I just turned and ran to my room. How could they?

Then something clicked. A memory ran through my mind…

Flashback

I was ten years old and I sat at my computer, reading the email from Edward." I'm moving to Washington to live with one of my father's close friends."

As I read, tears slid down my face.

End of Flashback

I would see Edward! I would be living just a little ways away!

Suddenly, Washington wasn't looking so bad.

Bella's Point Of View

Forks, Washington

I just woke up. I'm in my new loft here in Forks. I stretched and checked my email.

One new message from Edward. I open it. He's saying how he heard there is a new student coming to school. If only he knew.

I closed out of Yahoo and drove to Forks High in my Lamborghini.

I parked in front of the office and stepped out.

I was wearing a short, lacey, gray skirt and knee high patent leather heeled boots. I also had a black lacey cami with my jacket over it.

I walked in and the receptionist's eyes about popped out of their sockets. "I'm Isabella Swan" I said.

"Oh. Here's your schedule, dear." She said.

I walked out and to my first class, English with Mason.

I walked in and sat in the seat in the back left corner. I pulled out 'Wuthering Heights' and started to read.

"You're in my seat." An irritated voice said, "I said, you're in my seat, goth chick."

I looked up from my book to see a strawberry blonde bimbo glaring daggers at me.

"Excuse me?" I murmured.

"You. Are. In. My. Seat."

"I didn't see your name on it." I replied.

"Just get the fuck out of my seat, Morticia." She growled.
"Um…No." I said then turned back around.

The bimbo huffed and stalked off.

The beginning of the day passed in a blur. English, Government, Trig, Spanish, lunch. I'm now heading to Biology.

I walked in and took the one empty seat. I looked at the guy next to me, making sure he wasn't glaring or anything, and froze.

It was Edward. Edward Masen, the boy I've been best friends with since preschool.

I smiled and he turned to look at me. His eyes raked over my body.

He smiled and leaned to whisper in my ear, "After class why don't we get to know each other in the janitor's closet? I hear Goths are great in bed."

I was appalled! Edward would never say that. Edward was a gentleman.

I had to hold back the urge to slap him.

The rest of the day flew by and I was almost running to my car.

"Hey!" I heard from behind me. Edward. He caught up and stood in front of me, "We never got a chance to get to know each other."

"Gag me." I replied.

"Don't be like that." He said.

"You don't even know my name." I snapped. I thought for sure he would've recognized me.

"Yes, I do."

"Really?" I asked sarcastically, placing my hand on my hip.

"Yeah, you're Morticia."

"Uh, no." I said, "Who would even name their kid that?" I asked.

"Really? Tanya said that's your name."

"Hey, have you checked your email today?" I asked as a plan formed in my mind.

"Um…no. Why?"

"I emailed you." I said.

"No. That's impossible. The only person that knows my email is my best friend." He said confidently.

"." I said.

"Wait..." he said as his eyes widened, "Bella?"

I smiled, "Nice to see you, too Edward."
