Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or its plot/characters. I only own Taylor Lautner... and any unrecognized characters or events in the following FF.

I barely own the title of this whole FF. It's lyrics to "Faith To Fall Back On" by Hunter Hayes. I recently went to a concert and he was there. This song is now just playing in my head all day. You should go listen to it and buy his new album (yes, I do have it)!

Anyways, I know I'm starting a story when I just started another story a few days ago. I just had this idea come to me and I felt like I should really start something. So, here it is.

Readers, please note: This story includes the death of an infant. If you have lost a young one or have had a miscarriage ever, I advise you not to read this! If you continue past this point, I will make sure there is a warning at the top, noting what chapter includes talk of the death or the actual death.

It's hard to write this as it is or think about it, but I'm moved to write it. I just feel it's great to share. I've lost young loved ones before, though, and know what it feels like. Please, remember these words as you make your decision to continue reading or not. I will try as much as possible to not include much of the death, but there will be discussions about it. If you'd like an alternate version of the chapter(s) where there will be no said death, that can be arranged if you PM me.

Quick setting explanation: This PROLOGUE (not the whole story) takes places right after Eclipse (Bella has graduated - that's pretty much it). There are no werewolves or vampires, but everyone still carries out some interesting traits or secrets.

Sorry for the long message, but thank you and enjoy!

Prologue

"Na zdrowie!"

(BPOV)

I sat on my bed in Edward's and my room. We were leaving our home in Forks, Washington to go to USC in Los Angeles together in just a few days. I'd be leaving everyone behind. My father, Jessica Stanley, Angela Weber, Eric Yorkie, even Mike Newton. I'd be leaving Billy Black and his son.

His son, Jacob Black.

I'd be leaving Jacob behind. After everything we've been through together. When Edward moved away not too long ago because his father got a new job in New Jersey at Johns Hopkins in Maryland, Jacob was my rescuer. Edward left me with a broken heart, but Jacob, he put my heart back together and I actually started to fall in love with him. That is until Alice, Edward's sister and my best friend, called to tell me they were moving back to Forks.

I was too excited about Edward coming back that I abandoned my friendship and blossoming love for Jacob. I forgot to return his calls or texts. I felt terrible about it once my father brought it up earlier this summer.

Jake called today. The kid sounded sad. He asked if you wanted to hang out at the beach. I said you were too busy with one of your friends from school, but I know you' were just talking with Edward on the phone. Charlie sighed and drank some of his Vitamin R as he calls it. Bells, what's going on? I thought that you and Jake were starting to become something here. I mean, Edward broke your heart and you're just going to take him back?

Dad, it's not like that. Jacob and I, we... I couldn't think of any explanation. Charlie was right, but I didn't want to admit it. Jacob and I are just friends.

Bella, Jacob put your heart back together and you repay him by breaking his heart? I though you cared about him.

I do, Dad. He's not my boyfriend, though. It's not my fault if he has a huge crush on me. Edward is my boyfriend. We belong together and he's coming back. We're going to be together again.

Bella, I don't like the sound of this. Edward and his family are good people, but I can't watch that boy break you again. I can't sit here helpless again. You're my little girl and you only grow up once. I'd like it to be a happy process.

I'll be fine, Charlie. Stop worrying. I'm old enough to take care of myself and I'm going off to college when summer's over. Edward and I will apply to college together and we'll be happy. Can't you be happy for me, Dad?

Charlie rubbed his eyes and shrugged. I love you, Bells. I always will and I'll always be supportive of you. You know I'm happy for you.

Thanks, Dad. It'll all work out. Don't be so apprehensive about Edward. He's a great guy and I love him. I'll start hanging out with Jacob again. I promise.

Fine, Bella. Just don't shut the kid out. He's had it hard enough already.

Okay. I won't.

I was talking with Jacob and hanging out with him after that, but it wasn't like before I got Alice's call about moving back. We weren't always smiling at each other and I couldn't feel Jacob's warmth radiating off of his body. He was cold. He was always sad around me. It was my fault.

I finished packing up my bags for California and went to take a shower before bed. I slid off my engagement ring from Edward and set it down on my dresser. Edward proposed to me not long after we got back together. We decided we wouldn't get married until later in our college careers or sometime after graduation. Charlie wasn't so happy about it and Jacob was despondent. He didn't look me in the eyes or talk to me with his cheerfully husky voice. It was monotoned and he declined my invites for him to hang out with me.

So, here's to my new life with Edward in college; there goes my old life back home with Charlie, Jacob and my friends. Here's to new beginnings and old ends. I guess if moving away from family and friends, your home and your life is something to celebrate, one would say na zdrowie Poland after tossing back some beer. So, here it goes.

Na zdrowie!

A/N: Okay! How was it? Leave me some love by clicking on "Review this chapter"! I hope it gave you some insight on how Bella's life has turned out. She's going to Stanford with Edward, but leaving behind Jacob who she was starting to fall in love with. She's engaged!

Lyrics to Faith To Fall Back On

People know that love is what they want,
They get caught up and then it's gone
They can't get back the kiss they lost
They spend their whole life asking questions,
Not knowing what went wrong

But, then the answers that you know just prove you wrong,
Gotta have a little faith to fall back on
And then all that you've got left is being strong,
Gotta find a little faith to fall back on

I didn't treat my girl like she was mine
Yeah, I thought I didn't need her at the time
But I changed my way of thinkin' when she left
Yeah, I finally learned my lesson, but I learned it by myself

Cause when the answers that you know just prove you wrong,
Gotta have a little faith to fall back on
And then all that you've got left is being strong,
Gotta find a little faith to fall back on

These days I'm not sure if I know
What I'm doing here or where I'll go
But, every night I say the same old prayer:

"God, I don't have to see you. I know that you're there
Cause there were times I thought I wouldn't make it home
But I kept a little faith to fall back on.
Yeah, and I've learned to put my trust where it belongs
And I've gotta little faith to fall back on."

Cause when the answers that you know just prove you wrong,
Oh, you gotta have a little faith to fall back on
Yeah, you gotta be strong. Yeah, you gotta be strong.
And find a little faith to fall back on.

Na zdrowie - No, this is not Russian for "cheers". Russians don't actually use that term much, but either way, this is Polish for cheers as Bella explains in short at the end of the prologue. - There's also a Polish restaurant in Sydney, AU that I want to try called Na Zdrowie. If any of you have tried it before, let me know how it is! :) I'm such a picky eater, so it's gotta be good... Sorry for being random in this "little" note.

Vitamin R - Rainier Brewing Company (1884–1999) company in Seattle, WA that brewed Rainier Beer (which Charlie refers to as "Vitamin R" in Twilight), which was popular in Pacific NW of the U.S.

Any other questions? PM me or leave something in the reviews. So, with that... REVIEW. REVIEW. REVIEW! :)

Next update to come very soon! Working out the edits! And for those of you who'd like to/have already read "New Love" which is up on my page, then a new update should come either right before the next update of "Find a Little Faith to Fall Back On" or shortly after it. Thanks a bunch!
