Chapter 1:
Disclaimer: I am not Stephenie Meyer, and therefore, I do not own Twilight or any of her characters (except Chelsea, which is ME! *gasp* J)
Chelsea's Point of View:
I was 19 years old. Life was great. I was living the college life. But my life changed forever that summer. It was a summer that I will remember forever. Literally. This was my life and I had only just begun to understand the true meaning of it. This is my story, so welcome to it.
I lived in Florida since I was born and had hardly ever been out of the state, let alone the country. I was going to college at University of Miami, and planned to be come a news reporter. I was majoring in broadcasting & communications to be exact. My parents could not have been happier because they never had the chance to earn a college diploma.
Every Friday afternoon, I came home to see my family and take a break from college life. My mother loved that I was close enough to come home because she always wanted to be able to ensure that I was making the right decisions…. which I was. My brother also came home from college on Friday afternoons. This was very different then when he went to Florida State because now he is in medical school. He did his 4 years of college at FSU and made the choice to go to UM for medical school. He was studying to become a trauma doctor.
I had already traveled to Spain through a foreign exchange program to become fluent in Spanish. At first, my parents didn't like that I was leaving the country, but they were soon persuaded when I told them that I would become fluent in Spanish. Today in Florida, its crucial to know Spanish.
Now I wanted to go to Forks, Washington with my friends Jhada and Debbie because Jhada and I were huge Twilight fans. On the contrary, Debbie enjoyed Harry Potter over Twilight but nevertheless decided to join us. My parents agreed because it was during the summer and school was not an issue. Jhada and I did most of the planning. We would rent a house as close to the filming scene as possible. Thanks to Debbie's mad house hunting skills we were able to be right on the Twilight scene.
I offered to be the designated driver for the trip, and even though my friends doubted my amazing driving skills, the plan fell through. We arrived in 4 days exactly. That's because we drove nonstop, straight through, no sleep. So you can only imagine how tired we were. When we arrived at the house we didn't even unpack. But actually fell onto the bed and slept the day away. By the way, it had been my idea to drive nonstop for 4 days. I always did like a challenge.
SORRY THIS CHAPTER IS SO SHORT PPLS! MORE IZ ON ITS WAY I PROMISE! I ALSO PROMISE THAT IT GETS BETTER!
