Ch. 1

"Dad, everything will be fine, I promise" I said for about the millionth time as I tried to convince my father Charlie that moving to the big

city was really not that big of a deal. If we were being honest, however, it was a pretty big deal. It was the going to be the first time in

my life where I didn't have my dad, my step-mother Sue, or any of my close friends reasonably close to me. I, Bella Swan, former

resident of Forks, and soon to be former resident of Seattle, was moving to the big apple, New York City. I attended University of

Washington and from there worked my way up in the editing business. I worked at a publishing house in Seattle- but a new promotion

was calling me to the headquarters in NYC- the big time. "Alright, alright, but call- please call. You know how much Sue likes to hear from

you" I laughed as I taped up another box and looked up to him; what he really meant was that he likes to hear from me- but Charlie

always had a hard time admitting to his feelings.

"Here we go -another million boxes" Sue laughed as she walked into my apartment with more boxes for my things. "Thanks

for helping mom" I smiled. My actual mother, Renee, died before I was old enough to remember her- Sue had always been the mother I

knew. "Call me crazy, but I actually think we're close to finishing this packing!" she laughed. We all joined in, for it seemed like we had

been packing up my crap for weeks. "Thank you guys so much, I really couldn't have done any of this without you" I smiled. They looked

at me lovingly, we were a happy family to say the least. "We would do anything for you Bells" Charlie smiled. "Who knows Bella, maybe

you'll find a man in the city" Sue smiled. I smiled back, for her sake, but inside my heart was telling me "No" as my mind wandered.

Flashback

I ran into the bathroom of Forks Junior High. I hated middle school. The girls were too mean and it seemed like it got worse and worse every

day. After crying for a few minutes, I splashed my face with cold water, reapplied my mascara, and walked out of the bathroom. Just as I was

about to return to class, a hand stopped me.

"Hey, those girls are stupid, your clothes are fine- they're the ones with no sense of style" the odd boy smiled at me. "Who are

you" I looked at him, inquiring with my eyes as to why his hand was still attached to mine. "Edward Cullen, at your service, and here to be

your friend" he smiled again. I quickly turned around and started walking away, yanking my hand away from his. He quickly followed. "Why

are you following me" I said after a few seconds. "Because you look like you need a friend, and I'm looking for one- a friend that is" he laughed

a little nervously. "I'm new here and I saw you leave class- and well I'm awfully good at comforting people" he continued- the boy spoke like

he was eighty. "No offense, uh Edward, but I don't even know you!"

Before I could walk any more, he jumped in front of me. "Look, I don't really know you, heck I don't even know your name- but I do know no

one deserves be treated like that… and everyone deserves a friend" he smiled. For the first time, I genuinely smiled back. "Well okay, I'm

Isabella Swan, but you can just call me Bella." "Nice to meet you Bella" Edward smiled back, and from that day on- we were inseparable.

Hope you liked the first chapter!
