I had lived with my adopted family, ever since I could remember. My mom, Esme, said that my biological mom and dad had died from a disease in a hospital that she was working in. She took care of me when they were sick, because she had delivered me when my mom came when she was in labor.

So here I am, in Forks, Washington, trying to go to sleep on the last day of summer vacation. Usually, I fall asleep very quickly, but today, I'm thinking. Not about anything in particular, but that's what I'm doing.

I heard a new family was coming to live here. Why they would want to, I have no idea, but I think it's because the dad is coming to work here in the hospital. He's supposed to be really good, even though he's young; they say he's like 27 or something.

My mom works at the hospital, but she's not married. She's pretty young, too. She's 26, but she usually tells people that she's 31 or something, so that they'll take her more seriously. She's done really well, providing for my brothers, sister, and me.

They're not my actual siblings, but I've known them long enough for me to think of them like that. I have three brothers and a sister. T.J is pretty tall, about 6' 4", with brown hair and light blue eyes. Garrett is even taller than him, at 6' 5", and he has sort of dirty blond hair, with dark blue eyes. Jasper and Rosalie, or Rose, the twins, are both pretty tall, her being 5'9", him being 6' 3", with strawberry-blond hair and electric blue eyes.

My mom, Esme, is pretty, with caramel colored hair and hazel eyes, at 5' 6". I, Edward, am tall, 6' 2"ish, with kind of bronzish hair and green eyes. All of the girls and boys at Forks High want to date us, but we abstain. They just aren't attractive to us, though I guess my family is pretty good-looking, we don't want to date them and are waiting for the person we think is right for us.

I heard the family coming tomorrow is kind of like ours. They have a dad, with five kids, just like us, the Hales and the Masons. They're family is the Cullen's, though I think most of them are from different families, too. Oh, well, I'll find out tomorrow. I'm going to go to sleep now…
