I do need to let you know. This story is basically my story. I'm doing this as sort of a therapeutic thing. My therapist suggested I do it. It's just taken me awhile to get up the guts to do it. I've also got it on Fictionpress. While I welcome any and all reviews I don't want anyone bashing me or telling me I shouldn't do this. By doing this it's helping me move on. This will start off as a Bella/Alec story but will end with being a Bella/Jasper story. With that said, here we go...

I only own this story but not the characters.


Prologue

I never knew that my life could be like this. I always assumed I'd be in a low income job. Barely making ends meet and not really living life. At least that's what I always told myself. You see, I wasn't always as happy as I am now; living in Los Angeles with one of my best friends. Or going to school for something I always wanted to do. Now, you're probably thinking that I'm going to tell you a story about someone growing up with no parents or an abusive father. Or maybe you're thinking I'm going to tell you a story about someone who grew up on the streets and had to sell her body to get by. Well, I'm not. I'm going to tell you a story about a girl who eventually figured out that she was better off and could make something better of herself. I'm going to tell you a story about a girl who learned how to pick herself up and survive. My name is Isabella Swan and this is my story.
