A/n- Hi guys! This is my first fanfiction, so i'm sorry if it sucks :/! I'll try and get better though!

Disclaimer- I do NOT own Twilight and none of the characters belong to me! They all belong to the lovely Stephanie Meyer!

I woke up to the damn alarm clock ringing, sighing I slammed my hand down on the snooze button and dragged my butt out of bed. I didn't wake up with the usual smile on my face like I used to, that was the old Alice, the one I missed dearly I just couldn't remember how to be her. I'm not her anymore, I've changed and not for the better. This Alice doesn't smile anymore, unless she's in front of people she puts up an act, that most can see through, because no matter how much I smiled and acted, I would never be her again.

I should probably start from the beginning, my name is Mary Alice Cullen I go by Alice, I am a senior at Forks High, I have black hair and grayish eyes, and I'm very short barely standing at 5'0. My Parents are Dr. Carlisle Cullen; a very successful doctor who works at Forks hospital and Esme Cullen; an interior decorator but mostly a stay at home mom. I have two very over protective older brothers both in college, Emmett and Edward. Emmett is studying business and Edward is following my fathers footsteps to become a doctor. We all are very close and I love my family more than anything else in the world. Life started changing for the worse when I met him. James Hunter. I started dating him when I was a junior and my brothers were gone for college. At first we were dating on the sly, but then I had to tell my family, to say my brothers were pissed would be an understatement, they were outrageously angry. They defiantly did not approve, my mom was happy that I finally found someone who made me happy and my dad well I was his baby girl, he wasn't to happy either. However they had to suck it up because I was in love and James was the one or so I thought. My brothers didn't talk to me for a week but apologized when I blew up at them and started ignoring them, I think my mom had a little something to do with the fact they were apologizing though. So we hugged it out and they demanded to meet him. I was on cloud nine at the time, I had a great life, an awesome family, amazing boyfriend, and a sick car. When I told James my family wanted him to come to dinner that night, he was shocked but quickly became happy and was as pleased as I was. Later that night though, James called and said his grandmother was in the hospital and he couldn't make it. I remember feeling so bad because James was so close to his grandma going to visit her almost every weekend. My family understood and wished his grandma well. Weeks later when my brothers were home again, my parents invited him over for dinner again and when I told James he agreed but later canceled due to another family emergency. Time passed and James and I were happy as ever but deep down something was bothering me, it felt like I didn't know the real him and I wished I did, later I found out I never wanted to know the real him, I regretted wanting to know the real him. I remember the day I found out about the real James just like it was yesterday and not a year ago. My brothers were back in town with their girlfriends Rosalie and Bella, and we were having a family barbeque, of course I invited James to come, and I couldn't wait for my family to meet my perfect boyfriend. I was high off of life and very excited for that day, when I got that call. That call that made me do something that would change my life forever. James called to tell me he was sick and started coughing obnoxiously as if to prove a point. I remember feeling disappointed he wouldn't be able to come and became sort of a Debbie downer that day. My family tried to cheer me up but I really wanted James to come and was sort of disappointed that I couldn't see him that day. Deciding that I wasn't going to have fun at the barbeque I went out to buy some soup and delivered it to James. Knocking on the door I couldn't help but get a bad feeling that made me want to turn around but all to soon James opened the door, looking perfectly fine with a beer in one hand. He looked shocked to see my there and he invited me in. I accused him of lying to me and demanded to know why and that's when he lost it. He threw his beer across the room and I watched as the glass bottle shattered. He blew up at me, insulting me, my family, my friends. I yelled back though a mistake I should've never made because I was silenced as his hand contacted my face. Crying, I held my cheek and went to walk out of the house when he pulled my long hair and began beating me till I was out cold. I woke up the next morning on the floor and saw James was watching me, scared I backed away but he started crying and quickly apologized telling me he called my family and told them I fell asleep and that he didn't want me to get in trouble, I forgave him and together we covered up my bruises and he kissed me goodbye. My family was mad at me for leaving the barbeque and worrying them when I didn't come back but they quickly got over it.

"Alice." My mom said, knocking on the door, successfully bringing me back from the past.

"Come in" I whispered, surprised she heard me when she opened the door.

"Hey, sweetie! Glad your awake! Are you excited to go see your brothers?." Mom asked.

"Yup, Is dad ready to go?" I replied.

"Not yet, you know how he is on his days off." she laughed. I laughed softly with her and told her I was going to get ready. I got dressed in dark skinny jeans, a black tank top with a gray cardigan over it and black flats and I styled my now short hair. I had to attempt to look decent to look like I still cared but I didn't and its all because of him.

He stole my innocence, my happiness, my life, he stole the old Alice.
