A/N: Hey everyone! Ok so this is my first fan fic ever so I apologize ahead of time if it sucks. I decided to start writing fan fic because I thought it would be a good character and story line practice to make it easier for my imagination to run wild. I am just starting to write my own book, but it will probably turn into a series. At the moment, I have no clue where I'm going to go with this fan fic I'm just going to write as it comes to me just like this first chapter did. Let me know what you think!

Thanks,

Amanda

Bella's POV

Here we go... AgainI thought to myself as I regrettably turned my radio off and hopped out of my truck to start my reluctant trek to the unwelcoming doors of Seattle's Northgate mall. Did I really think that parking across the street was going to make this trip any different than the last thirty? No, just wishful thinking.

In place of my radio I grabbed my iPod out of my purse, clicked the hold off to select my favorite band to listen to. They always made me feel the way I wanted to if I selected the right songs; happy, sad, relieved, in love (although it hadn't actually happened yet) and yes, even furious. What I wouldn't give to be able to see them live in concert. Mitch Allen was the epidemy of brilliant. I hit the play button, and wouldn't you know it? The most fitting song for this moment played first: The Best is Yet to Come. If it wasn't one of my favorite songs by them I would have pressed the next button. So instead, I gritted my teeth and went to stare irony in the face and prepare for a very long day and possibly, I cringed, night.

I started to walk towards the dreaded doors.

You see yourself being so small
Running into every brick wall

Why the hell were the doors surrounded by bricks? Was one of my favorite bands really writing songs to make fun of my clumsiness? I questioned thoroughly irritated with myself.

It's not as far as you can go
The road is twisting turning

Oh, and now it's making making fun of my lack of direction.

A life is living learning
There's so much more for you to know

Chorus
If you could lock the past away
Step back through the doorway
This ride has just begun
If I could change your point of view
Is there someway I can show you
The best is yet to come

Here is were I finally made it through the doors and sighed. Snap out of it Bella! The world isn't out to get you, stop analyzing every two words as if they were meant for you! I continued my journey to the Starbucks where I would wait for my doom as obliviously as I possibly could.

Not every problem can be
Solved so easily
Not every answer is the one
Above the flood of emotion
It's all about forward motion
Define your place in the sun

Ha ha I silently chuckled to myself, this day was going to be filled with more emotion than a new mom in an hour.

Chorus

Try to hide
It's all inside
You can find a place where the pain and guilt can fall away

Why was I always feeling guilty for something I didn't help? Ooook, definitely stopping the analyzing now.


If you're spitting truth
Bulletproof
Crashing through the walls that separate me and you

Now you'll find with everything you lose
Your path clears with everything you choose

If you could lock the past away
Step back through the doorway
This ride has just begun
Change your point of view
Is there someway I can show you
The best is yet to come

Chorus

Is there someway I can show you
The best is yet to come

WOW! I thought as I stood in the Starbucks line up, I managed to make it through half of that song without analyzing it to shreds to match my life.

I got to the front of the line and ordered a Venti, 3 pump, extra whip and caramel drizzle, caramel frappucino and decided to get a slice of lemon raspberry loaf. As I waited for my drink I saw the most beautiful person that existed of the male species. My jaw dropped, as did my iPod, which snapped me out of my bewildered state. I quickly checked for damage on my iPod, shut it off and shoved it back into it's designated pocket in my purse. Just then, my drink was called. Relieved to have so many distractions all at once I grabbed my drink and headed over to the condiment stand with my head down to grab a straw. I should have known that walking with my head down was the worst thing for me to do. I was just turning away from the condiment stand when I hit something that felt like rock. Then it hit me, the rocks scent was absolutely phenomenal, I had never smelt anything soo absolutely wonderful in my life! I looked up and stuttered my apology. But the stutter wasn't because I was embarrassed like I should have been, it was because the apparant rock that I ran intowas none other than the male beauty I had spotted a moment ago.

"S-s-s-sor-rry, aaa--a-ll m-my fault." Geez get a grip Bella, learn how to talk I thought, " I'm the last person on Earth that should be allowed to walk, I don't know what I was thinking walking with my head down."

"Not a problem," He calmly said silently laughing as he smiled a crooked smile that was absolutely heart melting.

I blushed a smile back to him and went to sit at a table. Now that all my distractions from the real reason I was at a mall were over the dread and guilt swept back over me. I was still ten minutes early so I decided to pass the time by watching the people pass by the Starbucks. No one really all that interesting looking passed by for th first seven minutes and seven seconds. In those first seven minutes I was day dreaming about the gorgeous boy, no man, for be definitely knew about how the world worked. I was surprised at how much about him that I was able to capture in the short few seconds I had glanced of him. His very attractive messy bronze hair, his scent which was along the lines of honey and lilac; and if I knew what the sun smelt like that would probably fit as well because it was a happy scent, his perfectly toned body, and just how heheld him self. He was breath taking.

That was when I saw her, a girl, my age who looked horrible, not because she was immensely ugly, because believe me she was just as stunning as the man I had just been fantasizing about, but because I wasn't sureif I had ever seen anyone look soo miserable before. I thought I had it bad. I felt horrible for her and I didn't even know what had happened. That was when my doom tapped me on the shoulder.

A/N Sooo what did you think? Was it any good? I have chapter 2 all planned out I'm going to start typing it up right away :D I was going to make it a really long chapter at first, but then I decided that suspense is good. I know I love to hate it lol Anyways it should be up in a couple of hours as long as everything goes well. If not I'll post it later tonight when I get home from work. Thanks for reading!
