Chapter 1: Introduction

Hi! It's my first time writing here, and writing altogether, so I'm begging you to be kind with me! Feel free to give any advice, I will appreciate it. Also, English is not my native language, so I hope you will understand if there are a few mistakes here and there or if the sentences are not quite well written. If one of you wants by any chance to beta my story, I would take it! Enough with the boring stuff…

I don't own any or the characters of universe from Twilight, they're Stephanie Meyer's.

The sad smile on my mom's face was tearing my heart, but I knew I had to leave her behind for her own happiness. I was on my way to boarding my plane for Fairbanks, Alaska. I hated cold. And snow. And the poor amount of human beings there. I couldn't erase myself in so few people. Why am I going then, you might ask?

Well, my mom worked her ass off all her life to provide for me, for us, to keep our little apartment in Phoenix, to get us somewhat decent clothes. She did what she could to save money for college, and I worked as well between school and homework, but we didn't get much. The only universities we could afford were in smaller towns. I loved Phoenix, but I didn't have much of a choice, now did I?

But I could do something for my mom. She liked Phoenix even more than I did, and she just met this new guy, George. I didn't really approve him, but she loved him, so I was happy for her. Especially after what Phil did to her, leaving her for a younger one… I didn't want her to make yet another sacrifice for me; she had made enough in her life.

I had one option left: Fairbanks. Just the thought of it gave me goosebumps. The University of Fairbanks was one of the only universities I could afford. But it was not only its low fees that were pulling me there, it was its location. Because even though I hated that place with all my heart and soul, it was the only place I could go without bringing my mom in my misery.

I was going to live with Charlie, my father, the sheriff of Fairbanks. He and my mom had me when they just got married, after a mere three months together. They bought a small house in Fairbanks, because Charlie was born there and couldn't even think of moving away. My mom, as enthusiastic then than she is now in any new experiences, followed him and chose the house, trying to bring as much heat and sun in it as possible.

But she couldn't stand it, it was driving her crazy, she missed Arizona. And a couple of months after my birth, she had had enough. Enough of that boring place, but also enough of Charlie. They didn't really know each other well when she got pregnant, and he was just not her type. Two complete opposites, if you asked me. I don't even get how she fell in love for him in the first place. Don't get me wrong, he is a great person, just not the enthusiastic type, like my mom. He's actually more like me, calm and reserved.

I stopped going there since I was fourteen, and I do not miss that horrible town, I guaranty you… But at least my mom will be happy, and it would only be for a few years. At least, that's what I keep telling myself. I told my mom I was missing Charlie, and that it was ridiculous for her to follow me there as well. She didn't believe I wanted to go back there at first, but I repeated my lie so many times, she had no choice but to let me go.

So here I am, sitting in the police car with Charlie, in comfortable silence, on our way to home. My home for the few years coming…

Hope you enjoyed it! More chapters are coming soon, probably much longer, this was just a small introduction to my story. Don't ask me how many chapters there will be, because I don't know yet! ;)
