Hello everyone! I know it's been a long time since I've updated my other Twilight story, "Fate Works In Cruel Ways" as well as my Hunger Games story, "The Wily Coyote." I assure you, both stories will be continued on soon! I've constantly tossed this idea around in my head, and I know it's not the most original, but I couldn't stop myself from actually writing it this time. And so, welcome to my newest story- "A Part of Your World."

On an old account of mine, I had created the first chapter a few years ago and simply abandoned the whole thing. Now, I've decided to pick it back up on my new account and totally pursue it! Thank you for reading, and I look forward to hearing what you all think of it!

"Bella, wait for me!"

Addy's small legs carried her forward, her blonde waves cascading behind her in the wind. Her giggles carried through the breeze with her hair, her bare feet toddling through the green grass.

Bella stopped at the tree line, her tiny frame puffing out bursts of air as she awaited her younger cousin.

Addy approached, her cheeks flushed red.

"I'm so tired." Bella huffed, plopping down into the grass.

She laid down, her brown eyes searching through the sky, her little breaths still coming out forcefully. She wasn't used to running so much.

Addy followed suit, carefully soothing out the red skirt of her dress as she laid beside Bella. She wiggled her body closer, their shoulders just brushing as they stared up into the blue sky.

They were just kids, at the time- Bella only ten years old and Addy only eight.

They didn't have a worry in the world.

"I can't wait to get married one day." Bella spoke wistfully, already wise beyond her years.

Addy turned on her side, resting upon her elbow as she faced her cousin, "Why?" Her babydoll face crinkling up in curiosity.

"Becauseeee," Bella drawled out, giggling, "I'm going to get married to a handsome man, in a big house, with a big family."

Addy mulled it over, her lips pursing. "What about me?"

Bella waited for a moment, finally turning to face her.

"I don't think you'll want to live with us. But we'll always be together, Addy."

"Do you promise?"

"Yes."

"Pinky?"

"Pinky."

"Addyson, I don't think you get it. This isn't a vacation, I'm moving there. For good." Bella sighed as she folded another shirt into her suitcase.

The phone sat atop her dresser, the slight crackle reminding her of it being on speakerphone as she packed.

Addy sighed on the other end, "Isabella, I get it very well. And I'm still coming with you."

"It's such a long move for you! Florida to Washington? That's insane."

"Bella, we're leaving tomorrow. You've been trying to get rid of me for months and it's not working. I'm still in." She giggled out, Bella rolling her eyes.

"I don't want to get rid of you, I want you to realize what you're doing."

"Just stop! I'm coming with you. That's the end of the story. No more negotiations."

The two hung up shortly after, Renee popping her head into Bella's room with a sad smile.

"Hey kiddo, dinner's ready."

Bella nodded in response to her mother, following her downstairs.

Addy's plane arrived in Phoenix the following morning. The moment she had heard about Bella moving to Forks, Washington, to live with her father, she had joined in.

The cousins had always been close, despite their distance and differences. Every school vacation they had been on, they were together- every summer, every spring break, every winter break- every one spent together. They were polar opposites though.

Bella had always viewed herself as an outcast, always sitting on the outside and looking in. She was a "tomboy", she hardly focused on her appearance, she didn't care what others thought. Addyson, though. She was never an outcast, people loved her naturally- she was charming and hard to dislike. She was girly, her outfits were always laid out beautifully, her hair and makeup always doted upon.

Addy was careening out of the vehicle as it approached Bella's house before it had even slowed down. Her small body crashed into Bella's, her arms wrapping around her cousin's torso in a hard grip.

"Dear Lord, Addyson! You're going to give me a heart attack!" Her mother, Pamela, mock-scolded as she got out of the taxi. Renee laughed at her sister and her niece, hurrying towards the car to help with the bags, Phil hot on her heels.

"Oh my God, Addy, look at you! You're, you're, you look gorgeous." Bella stumbled up, the two pulling apart just enough to stare at one another.

Addy giggled, working her fingers through her hair to push it from her face. "Oh Bella, stop it. I saw you last month!"

She flashed a bright smile once more before turning to grab some of her bags. She wandered up behind Renee and gently wrapped her arms around her shoulders, Renee turning her head to offer her niece a kiss on the cheek.

Bella watched on her family curiously, sighing as she realized just how much she stood out among them.

All three of them- her mother, her aunt Pamela, and her cousin Addyson- were beautiful. There was no question about it. Their skin was all gently tanned, as opposed to her perpetually porcelain complexion. Their hair all variations of blonde, her mother and Pamela's a soft honey and Addy's being a much lighter shade. And their eyes, they all had the most beautiful deep color blue that she had ever seen. Their features were defined, their noses small and their lips full. And they were all so small and perfectly proportioned. Addy could barely reach 5'3". All of their figures were small, their walks dainty and their body language perfectly graceful.

Bella envied them.

She had been "graced" with almost everything from her father. Her pale skin, her dark hair, her dark eyes, her clumsiness, her awkwardness, all of it.

She hated it. She wanted to fit in, she wanted to blend- even just with her family.

"Guys, I love you all, I really do. But we're going to be late." Phil called from his car, a smile on his lips too as he held out his arms.

Renee giggled, turning and smiling at Pamela and Addyson briefly before beginning towards him.

They rode to their airport together, the windows down and their laughter and voices overwhelming the small space.

Bella relished in it. She knew it was the last time they'd be together for a while, she was cherishing every last moment as she clutched her cactus to her chest.

"Addyson Elaine, I want a text as soon as you two land, do you understand?"

Addy nodded to her mother, smiling at her as she flung her arms around her once more.

Renee released the tears she had been holding in, clinging onto Bella as she did so. But Bella hated the mushiness of it all, she knew she would miss her mother and Phil but she had made the conscious choice to go. She couldn't talk herself out of it now.

"I love you Bells. Have fun."

"Love you too, mom, I will."

Bella sparsely spoke as the plane flew to Seattle, Washington. Addy chatted occasionally, itching to babble on to Bella. But she knew that she was nervous, she allowed her her space.

"Bella, everything is going to be great. Forks is going to bring us a whole new adventure. I just know it."

Bella had only stared at her for a moment before nodding and returning to gazing out the window.

"Here, how about you stay here, and I'll go get our stuff," Addy giggled, turning on her heels towards the luggage return.

"Addy! You're fifteen, I can't let you wander around the airport by yourself." Bella protested, beginning after her, earning an eye roll in turn.

Charlie stood by the entrance, his hands roughly shoved in his pockets and his eyes trained on the floor.

"Uncle Charlie!" Addy called out, his eyes snapping towards her and his daughter. He chuckled, remembering the outgoing child that Addy had been.

"Girls, hi." The three stood awkwardly together, neither Bella nor Charlie knowing what to do. Addy watched them carefully, her lips pursing as she debated what to do.

"Well, uh, let's go. I got the cruiser out front."

Bella internally sighed. She had hoped he wouldn't bring the stupid police cruiser to pick them up in.

"Am I going to sit in the back like a criminal?"

Charlie deadpanned at Addy's question, his mind freezing. He had totally forgotten that there was two of them.

And so Addyson found herself in the back of the police cruiser, behind the metal grate that separated her from the front.

The house was just as Bella and Addy had remembered it. They carried their bags up the familiar stairs and each opened the door that led to where they had spent a select few vacations together.

Charlie explained that he had asked a female worker to help him pick out the colors for each girls room- Bella's coming out a deep purple and Addyson's bright yellow.

The colors suited their personalities well.

Addy poked around her room, the bed beside a window, a yellow and gray comforter adorning it. A small table sat beside the bed, a desk in front of the second window. A small closet lay in the wall adjacent to the door.

It would do.

She dragged her bags towards the bed, carefully picking out a frame from the top of the first suitcase. She gently placed the picture on her nightstand, her fingers gently caressing the corner of the black frame as she released it.

In the picture lay herself and Bella, only 10 and 8, as they lay in the grass outside of Addy's home in Florida. Their eyes were focused on the sky above and their minds had easily been up there too.

"Hey girls, can you come down here real quick? I've got a surprise outside."

Charlie called up the stairs, pulling Addyson from her memories.

Her and Bella exited their rooms at the same time, sharing a weary glance before descending down the creaky wooden stairs.

A beat up red pickup truck sat in their driveway, two unfamiliar figures beside it with Charlie.

"Surprise!" He smiled, the girls stopping on the front steps.

They fell silent, their eyes grazing over the vehicle and those surrounding it.

"It's a sort of- "welcome home" gift. I know you can't drive, Addyson, but you sure can make Bella take you places in it."

"Oh, this is awesome! Thank, thank you!" Bella awkwardly rushed towards the truck, Charlie grinning, a feeling of accomplishment welling up in his chest.

Addy remained on the front steps, examining the scene before her.

"Bella, you remember Jacob and Billy Black, don't ya?"

Her brown eyes found the two in question, though hardly any recognition dawned on her.

"We used to make mud pies together." Jacob chuckled, his eyes never leaving her face.

Addy couldn't help how her eyes trained on Jacob so carefully. A pit rose into her stomach. She couldn't help but feel that something big was happening, something bigger than her or Bella, something entirely out of her control.

She knew that Forks, Washington surely would bring a whole new adventure to her and her cousin.
