Just so you know this story begins while Bella is still depressed, before she starts hanging out with Jake. She has made a decision to change, which is how I began this story.

(BPOV)

So, I guess I've made up my mind. I'm going to study abroad. This is probably not very responsible, but I can't stand living here anymore. Being reminded of HIM everyday. I'm rotting away and losing myself even more every second I continue to spend here, so I need to find a way out, which I have chosen in the form of leaving the country. I have thought about where to go and have decided Italy. This is very unwise, but I can't help, but be drawn there. Maybe there, I can find answers. I mean, he mentioned something about the vampire royalty living there, so that might be my best shot. Of course, Charlie doesn't know what is in Italy. I told him a not particularly convincing lie, that since I couldn't decide on where to study abroad, that I would just go to the country that is related to my name. So, here I am three days away from getting on a plane to Italy.

A/N: I know this was very short, but I just wanted to do an introduction before I really delve into the plot line. Hope you enjoyed the beginning! And 'til next time trips to Italy because your boyfriend left you for everyone!
