Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or anything in this story that you remember seeing/hearing/reading somewhere else.

Background: So this is set after New Moon in that Edward and the Cullens still left and Bella became friends with Jake who turned into a werewolf. But that is kind of it. Let's just take Victoria out of the picture - we can say the werewolves killed her :) and Bella never jumped off the cliff so no Italy etc. I think those changes will let this story make sense - if not just ask and I will attempt to explain it away!


The wooden floor. The light blue walls. The peaked ceiling. It looked just like it had when I had first arrived. Except this time there was no rocking chair, no wooden desk. The room was empty. I would miss my room in Forks, yet I had to look towards the future, and that was a new place in Alaska. Since the Cullens left me just over a year ago, and Charlie died just 2 months shy of my graduation, I knew there was nothing keeping me tied to Forks and no reason why I should continue living in my old house. Sure there was Billy and Jake and all my other semi-friends on the reservation, but not one of them gave me a reason to stay – except maybe Jake but we would still be friends despite the distance separating us.

When the end of high school rolled around, it made sense that I continue onto college. However due to being stuck in my 'zombie' state - as Jessica liked to call it - I hadn't really gotten around to preparing a wide range of college applications. The only one I had really completed was the one to the University of Alaska, since he had helped me complete it while he was still around, and so that was really the only place I had been accepted and as such that was where I was headed.

So here I was surrounded by boxes, saying one last goodbye to my old room and really the whole house, before I would climb into the moving truck Billy had organised for me, for my long drive to my new home in Anchorage, Alaska.


After a 3 day journey I finally pulled up to the front of my new home. Since Charlie had left me everything, I had enough to afford a 2 bedroom place that I could call my own instead of fighting for shared accommodation on campus. After being cramped in the moving truck for so long, this was a huge relief. I picked up only the essentials for now as I made my way into the house. Billy had arranged for the furniture I needed to be delivered earlier in the week and I was grateful to fold my tired body onto the couch that took up most of the space in the small living room. My resting was interrupted by a loud groan from my stomach. I unwillingly moved from the couch to the kitchen in search of anything edible. Of course, being my first time in the house, the fridge was absolutely empty and after another rumble of stomach I resigned myself to the fact that I would have to head to the grocery store for some supplies.

I was only going to get a few essentials so luckily there was a corner store not too far from here so I could walk there since my reliable red truck had yet to arrive from Forks.

After a brisk 10 minute walk I had arrived at my destination. I entered the store and grabbed a basket before proceeding through the many aisles in search of sustenance. The place was pretty quiet as it was the middle of the afternoon mid week so I took my time as I made my way around the store. I instinctively knew what to look for as I was always the one in charge of the groceries and cooking at Charlies. As I moved into the sweets aisle, I paused at the large selection of chocolates. Normally I didn't eat much chocolate but I figured I should splurge as a celebration to myself for finally moving out on my own.

As I was browsing through the assortment I noticed someone come into the aisle ahead of me. I only saw the person out of the corner of my eye so I wasn't really paying attention to the characteristics of the person until I heard them speak.

"Bella?"


AN: Ok so this story is based on a dream I had. And as I was writing it I realised that my dreams are REALLY weird hehe. So nothing really makes sense, but I hope you enjoy it anyway!

So please read and review/add :)
