A/N: Hey guys, so this is my first story, I hope everyone likes it .

Bella's POV

I froze in my final pose and the crowd clapped.

I ran off stage and into the arms of my father who spun me around.

"Honey, you were amazing." He said.

"Thanks Daddy." I said.

My name is Isabella Marie Swan; I am sixteen years old and live in Los Angeles, California with my father, Charlie Swan.

My mother and father divorced when I was eleven years old. My mom now lives in a tiny town here in California called Sunnydale.

I walked into my dressing room and shut the door.

I sat down in the chair in front of the light bulb framed mirror and started taking off my make-up.

You could call me a goody goody girl. I always listened to my dad and whined when I didn't get what I wanted. My father gave me everything I wanted from the finest clothes to the nicest car.

I saw my mom every weekend. I didn't really like Sunnydale; it was too small of a town for me. I was a city girl all the way.

There was a knock on my dressing room door.

"Come in." I called.

My dad stuck his head in.

"Come on sweetheart, they're announcing the winners." He said, I pulled on my heels and hurried out of the room and onto the stage.

'And the winner is…Isabella Swan!'

I squealed and jumped up and down as they presented me with a plaque and a check.

I smiled for the cameras that were flashing in the audience then walked off stage with the rest of the contestants.

My dad hugged me tightly.

"Congratulations honey." He said.

"Thanks Dad."

I lay in my room, looking at the ceiling when my phone started ringing.

I picked it up and saw it was my mom.

"Hey Mom." I answered.

'Hi, Honey, how'd the show go?'

"Oh it went great. I won." I said.

'Ooo, what was the prize?'

"A plaque that said 'L.A. Talent Showcase Winner' and a ten thousand dollar check." I said, I could practically hear her smile.

'Well congrats, sweetheart.'

We were silent for a minute before I spoke.

"I miss you, Mom." I said, she sighed.

'I miss you too, but hey, at least I get to see you all this week starting tomorrow.'

"True." I said, I paused to yawn.

"Well, I'm gonna go to bed. I love you Mom."

'I love you too, sweetheart.'

I hung up and set the phone back on the nightstand.

I snuggled into my pillow and fell asleep quickly.

I pulled up to my mom's house 1632 Rodello Drive.

I pulled into the driveway and honked my horn.

My mom was out of the house at the same time I was out of the car.

"Bella!" She ran over and hugged me.

I smiled and hugged her.

"Hi Mom." I said, she held me back by my shoulders.

"You've gotten so big." She said, I blushed.

"Mom, it's only been a few weeks." I said.

"I know, but still." I looked across the fence that divided my mom's house from her neighbor and saw a lot of cars lined up next to the road and in the driveway.

"What happened?" I asked, she looked over her shoulder then back at me.

"I believe someone died, but you know me, I don't like to get into other people's business." She said.

"Well, why don't we get your things inside. I made your favorite cookies." I smiled.

"Sounds good." I said popping the trunk.

As soon as I walked into the house, the smell of cookies hit me.

"Smells good, Mom." I said.

I took my suitcase up to my room, threw it in, and ran back down the stairs.

My mom had a plate of cookies and two glasses of milk sitting on the table when I entered the kitchen.

I sat at the table and grabbed a cookie.

I took a bite and nodded.

"This is really good." I said, my mom smiled.

"I'm glad."
