Set during Eclipse, except for the Prologue.

Prologue

*Four years before Twilight*

"Alright, that's the last of it!" Harry Clearwater huffed as he loaded my desk into the moving van.

I shifted uncomfortably next to Billy as he struggled to find something to say to me. It was the end of summer and I was off to college. Becca had left about a week ago only because she got accepted into Hawaii Pacific University. Billy didn't struggle with her goodbye; it just flowed easily for them, it always did.

He cleared his throat, "Have a safe trip Rachel. Harry's taking you and he'll help you unload your stuff. I'd do it but. . . ."

I inwardly cringed. "It's okay Billy. Um....... thanks for the going away gift." I muttered, pulling my hat down over my head.

He looked at me and his eyes seemed to shine with some sliver of hope that I was still his baby girl before the car wreck that killed Mom but I quickly snuffed it out by turning my back to him, heading towards the truck.

Sue Clearwater waited by the van for me, tears were in her eyes. "Your mother would be so proud of you Ra! She always dreamed of you going out into the world to better yourself." She sniffed, drawing me in for a hug.

"Thanks Auntie Sue." I said with as much happiness as I could muster.

Auntie was probably the loosest term to describe what Sue meant to me, especially after the accident. If there was anyone in the world that I could love like Ma, it would be her. She, along with Leah, was the only shinning lights in the deep depression, that had and still does consume me.

I pulled back and turned to see my best friend standing next to the van door. Leah had tears streaming down her face and her nose was all red and runny. She was teary when Becca left but seeing her before me, it felt like the Hoover Dam was going to explode. The last time I'd seen Leah loose it like this was at Ma's funeral.

I walked over to her and pulled her in for a bone crushing hug. "I'll miss you Lee Lee." I whispered softly. "You better call me everyday!"

All that came from her was a strangled noise as Sue gently pulled her off of me. I pulled my black jacket even tighter around me as it started rain. I looked around for Jake but I didn't see him around. He'd been pretty broken up when Becca left for Hawaii, the poor guy had started yelling at her when she told him how long she was staying for.

Jake and Becca where a lot closer, leaving me to fend for myself in the Black household. Even though Becca and I were twins, we still weren't close. We used to be before Mom's death. We used to act like actual twins at one stage, finishing each other's sentences and dressing the same. Yet things change; there things that Becca would never know that haunted me in my sleep and this caused a gulf bigger than the Pacific Ocean between us. Instead Leah and I became inseparable, she became and still is my pillar of strength, the one that I confide my deepest darkest secrets too, the only one who truly understands my grief.

Ever since Ma's accident four years ago, our once happy family was left broken. When I say we were a happy family I mean we were ridiculously happy. We had family Sunday's where we went to the Beach and Thursday night was board game night. We had all our meals together on a table, Billy even told us legends before we went to sleep. Nevertheless, the accident changed all that. I lost my mother and my father that night, the man that survived wasn't Dad, he was Billy Black, a completely different person.

Nobody actually has the guts to speak about the actual accident, oh no that was too sensitive of a topic, everyone only talked of the before and after. How Billy used to be an active and busy man before the accident but now after the accident it's so sad how he's restricted to his chair. My favourite is, Rachel used to be such a fun, bubbly, and daddy's little girl before the accident, what a pity she's changed so much after. Surprisingly, this was used a lot by none other than my sister Becca and her little twin Jacob, who these days mimicked her, replacing her as a mother figure.

Becca never understood why I held so much anger and resentment for Billy. She thought that I was being 'unfair' and 'judgemental', that Ma wouldn't have approved, as it was not the Christian way. I whole heartedly disagreed, Ma deserved to be remembered, her death needs to be remembered, in particular the reason for her death. I made that promise to her when I watched her casket being lowered into the ground. I also promised that wouldn't cry from that day onwards.

Four years down the track I still wear black, stopped calling Billy Dad, haven't shed a tear drop and jumped at the first chance I had to leave this damned town.

Harry opened the passenger door for me, snapping me back to reality. "All set?" he asked, smiling. I nodded before giving him a big hug and climbing in on my side of the van.

After twenty minutes of driving I turned my head and looked into the rear view mirror. I saw the Welcome to La Push sign become smaller and smaller until it wasn't visible. I felt excitement and joy bubble up inside of me and I could not suppress the small smile on my face, something I hadn't done in a long time. I hope you're proud of me Ma, I thought as I smoothed out my dark black skirt and turned to look at the road ahead of me; A road that would lead me to great things.

Please review guys! This story is going to be amazing, hopefully!

Love Little Mary of the Rose, loloxoxo98, and e-essence! : )
