Chapter One
Edward Cullen and I have been friends for as long as I can remember. We both live on the same street in the same town: Oak Drive in Forks, Washington. We spent almost every minute of every day together.
Our dads have been best friends since high school, his dad Carlisle and my dad Charlie. That's how we met. I believe we met somewhere around the age mark of 6 months old… back when my mom was still around. You see, my mom Renee died of brain cancer when I was only 2-years-old. I grew even closer to Edward and his family at this time. His mom, Esme, became my stand-in mother. Carlisle acted more like my uncle, because he's usually working at the hospital while Edward and I hang out.
Edward and I are both 14. Yes, I know, old enough to like each other as more than just friends. But that will never happen. Edward is super protective of me, especially when I so much as look in the direction of another guy. I popped the question before if he would be so kind as to date me so no other guys could take me (my very sneaky & clever way of asking him to be my boyfriend), and he said that no guy in the universe is worthy of me. I laughed.
So yeah, Edward and I have always been Bella & Edward, Edward & Bella. We do have some other friends that we hang out with at school: Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett. But outside school it's just us two. Emmett never lets Edward live that one down.
Our favorite time to spend together is around Halloween. We both love the cool, crisp weather (although it's raining in Forks 99% of the time, there are those few random days when it's actually sunny) of autumn, and we both love horror. Halloween is big for us. We always dress up in dorky/cool outfits and trick-or-treat with the little kids. Halloween is coming up, so it's prime Edward & Bella season.
And I'm also hoping that this Halloween, I might just get my first kiss from my love, Edward Cullen. Who says that you can't swap out mistletoe for cobwebs?
