This is my first Twilight fic. I wanted to post it before the movie comes out tomorrow.
Please ignore any grammatical mistakes. I sort of rushed on it and didn't have time to send it to my beta.
Here it is. Enjoy!

"My name is Bella. Bella Swan. Right now I am sitting on the bench in my adopted family's garden. That's right...I'm adopted. I live in a two story house that's painted light blue and includes six bedrooms with my father, mother and sister, Rosalie. My family is the second richest family in Forks, Washington. You might think that my life is fabulous and that I'm one of the luckiest girls in town, but you're so wrong. I'm more like a servant than part of the family."
Flashback
"Get me a cup of tea!" Rosalie yelled from the living room.
"Yes, sister." I left and prepared some hot jasmine tea in a tea cup. I got back and handed her the cup.
She took a sip and then placed the cup down angrily."It's too hot!! Are you trying to burn me??"
I kneeled before her and gripped her leg. "I'm very sorry! Please forgive me!"
She continued to yell, "I'm going to tell mother about this!"
I cried and tried to hold her back, "No, please don't!" She ignored my cries and pleas and went straight upstairs to my parents' room. I followed her quietly and stayed out of sight, but I could still hear their conversation.
"Mommy! Bella tried to burn my mouth with tea!" Rosalie cried. She faked tears.
"Don't worry sweetie. Mommy will take care of it." Rosalie grinned evilly and mother stepped towards to door. By that time, I was already in the basement.
I hid behind a giant suitcase and waited. I heard footsteps in the room and peered through a gap in front of me. She was looking for me and she was holding a 2 meter stick.
"How dare you try to burn Rosalie! Come out! I know you're in here..." She growled and took another step forward. She tapped her stick impatiently on her left hand and gazed at the suitcase I was behind. I turned around and dug my head in between my thighs. I clutched my legs and tried to appear invisible underneath the old cloth.
She looked through a bunch of things and stopped at the suitcase. She took a step closer to me and uncovered me by lifting the cloth with the stick. 'Oh no, I've been found!'
"You good-for-nothing brat! You're going to pay for what you've done!" She lifted the stick and whacked me on my back. It felt like a finger nail scratching against my back, but 10 times harder. After a few more whacks, I felt her stop.
I turned around and saw my dad holding my mom's arm, "Stop it. If she gets hurt, she can't do work around the house." My mom sighed and left the room. 'Thanks, dad.' I longed to say. But I knew that he only wanted me to do chores around the house even though he was the nicest one to me.
End of Flashback
We didn't talk much. He was at work all day and I was busy doing chores all day. I've never really been loved before. My real family doesn't even love me. If they did, why did they abandon me and put me up to adoption? I thought that my life would be full of pain and I would suffer everyday.
One day, I experienced a new feeling inside my heart. I got up from my bench and got the hose to water my plants that I'd planted recently during my break. I was walking by the gate when I heard a rustling noise. I stared at the gate and noticed a boy about my age climbing down the gate.
'What the heck? Who is this boy? Maybe I should tell somebody before it's too late...' I was about the run towards the house, but then he caught my gaze with his beautiful emerald green eyes. "Who are you? What are you doing here? What to you wa--" He cut me off by placing one of his hands over my mouth.
I blushed slightly; I'd never been so close to another person of a different gender besides my father. "Shhh," He soothed. "Do you have a place where I could hide for a few days?" He asked with his velvet-y voice.
He let go slowly so I could talk, "Ummm, sure. Follow me." I led him to the basement and closed the door behind us. "You can stay here. People never come down here."
"Thanks for helping me." He smiled the most charming and captivating smile that I'd ever seen.
That's when I realized it. He was absolutely gorgeous. His pale, flawless skin, messy, bronze hair and muscular figure would have attracted every girl in the county. Haven't I seen him somewhere before? A magazine? The TV? I just couldn't remember.
He waved a hand in front of my face, "Are you there?" I was lost in my thoughts when his words brought me back to reality, "Oh sorry, here it is. Sorry if it's a bit small."
He smiled his crooked smile again, "It's fine. I just need a place to stay. I was just wondering…Do you know who I am?"
I looked at him, confused. "No, I've never met you before, how could I know you are? Unless if you're a model then I…." I blushed and stopped. 'I wonder why he asked me that...'
He seemed to get my point and chuckled. "Bella, where are you?! It's almost lunch time!" I heard Adeline (my mother) yell from the house.
"Ughhh…I have to go now I'll bring you something to eat later. Bye…" I headed for the door.
"Thanks again. Well then, I can't keep you any longer soo, bye for now." I was about to exit when I felt an arm hold me back, I turned around.
"Wait…"
"Yes?" I asked.
"Your name is Bella right?"
"Yes." I answered again, confused.
"That's a very beautiful name, like you." He winked at me and I swear… I would've fainted but, I had my duties sooo…you get the picture.
"Thank you." I smiled at him.
"And we're friends now, right?"
"Ummm, I guess so…" I left feeling happy inside. I had made my first friend and I now have a reason for trying in life. I hadn't smiled in such a long time…It feels really good right now.
So when everyone was supposed to be sleeping, I visited him and brought him a night-time snack. But one day when I was going down the stairs, something happened.
"Where are you going?" a voice asked. She turned on the lights and stood in her purple pajamas with her arms crossed, her blonde hair covering her backside.
