Summary:
EPOV, with only a couple chapters/parts in BPOV, when necessary.
Edward, Emmett and Alice are all siblings. Emmett's 1 year older than Edward and Alice who are fraternal twins. Rosalie and Jasper Hale live next door and are twins, the same age as Emmett. Alice and Jasper are dating, as are Rosalie and Emmett.
It's the summer before Edward's junior year that his father gets the call, and agrees to take in his best friend's daughter, because of a promise Carlisle had made to his best friend before he died eleven years ago. The first time Edward sees her when Carlisle brings her home, he remembers her, as if from a dream-her hair like chocolate waves of the ocean, and that blue and yellow Forks police jacket. He knows this is the same girl that's haunted his dreams since he was six, since he never saw her again after that fateful, sorrowful night at the hospital eleven years ago.
She's different now, but not in a good way, and he wants to know why. She's been through so much, is afraid of most people, doesn't talk most of the time and has nightmares no matter what. Her walls are practically impenetrable, but he wants in, something about her calls to him to help her. His father tries to get him to understand, because Edward doesn't know the full story of what's happened, but he wants to help! She's so closed off and broken, but he's there to protect her from the harsh words at school and from the demons at night. Her music's haunting but his music helps calm her. When the letters start coming and things get worse, he knows something needs to be done to save her before it's too late-for her sanity and her life.
A/N: This is my first fic, sorry if it sucks, I'll get the chapters out as I can and hopefully it isn't too bad. Some chapters are gonna be kind of short, some longer-depends on what happens.
*edit 8/2: forgot to add-this is AH AU...and it's rated M for a reason!!! Bella's dealt with a lot of crap in her life, not very pretty or clean or nice in anyway...so if/when I describe what happened, I may go into details about it, I most likely will actually. Also I'm contemplating having lemons in...later in the story of course, but they'll probably pop up. don't like them, go ahead and skip over them.
