Bella POV
Have you ever stepped back and looked at your life and wonder to yourself 'how did I get here?' or 'Why me, What did I do to deserve this?' or wonder what would have happened or where you would be if certain events in your life had been different. Can we really control our future or is destiny something we just have to let play out?
Well before I get too far into the story let me tell you about myself. My name is Isabella Marie Swan, but I go by Bella. I'm 16 and I'm your typical yet not typical teenager. Physically I'm slim and sorta pretty I guess, but I'm no great beauty. I'm also pretty pale (not matter how much sun I get). I have large chocolate colored eyes and long chestnut colored hair. I'm also quiet and like to keep to myself. I would rather get lost in a book than socialize most of the time and I don't have many friends. Also, to say that I am a bit of a klutz would be an understatement. I am a walking disaster just waiting to happen, I could trip on air and break something (and trust me, I have...several times)
I live with my mom and her new husband Phil; he is a minor league baseball player, in Phoenix Arizona. I haven't seen my biological father since I was 5, that's when my mom took off with me. He lives in this tiny town in Washington State called Forks. It took me a long time to figure out why my mom took off with me and why he never looked for us. My mom always told me it was because she didn't want to be stuck in that town and when I was little I believed what she said. But now that I am older I know the truth. First off, he never wanted me. He only married my mom because she got pregnant. Second, he was not a very nice man. Yes he is the police chief for the town of Forks, but he was also a very stern, mean man and he was also a drunk. When he was drunk he would hit my mom and she always did her best to shield me from him and his cruelty.
But after she fled from him with me life was better. We always went on these awesome road trips to the strangest places and had so much fun. She was like my best friend and my mom in one. When she met Phil I thought everything was going to change and that I was going to lose her, but things only got better. He became the father that I never really had and I quickly learned to love him. We would travel with him when he went on the road with his team sometimes, but when I was in school my mom and I would stay behind. Life was great. Life was comfortable and happy...until it was not. Until the accident.
