Hello all this story takes place in "New Moon", everything up until the birthday party happened the same as in books, except a few things:
1) Bella turned 16 not 18.
2) Her response to the 'break up'. Which you will read about in the story.
3) Jasper was turned when he was 20 in 1863, Alice was 19 and turned in 1920, Rosalie was 18 and turned in 1933, Emmitt was 20 and turned in 1935, Edward was 17 and turned in 1918, Esme was 26 and turned in 1921, and Carlisle was 28 and was turned in 1663. Information found on Twilight Wiki some of the ages changed though.
There are a few characters not in the novels that I will be introducing: Ainsley, Thomas,Nora, and a few more probably as we go. These people are strictly of my own thoughts, however sadly cannot make any money off of.
Also I do not own now, in the past or future, anything from the Twilight series.
'Also in POV scenes when there is a direct thought from the character their direct thoughts will look like this'.

I hope you enjoy your time reading this.
Chapter 1
Bella POV
Nursing my arm as I sat in the last period of the day staring at the empty seat that usually held my friend Alice. After my disaster of a 16th birthday party, which I did not want; none of my other family attended school this day. I didn't blame Jasper for anything, but with all of them out of school today I had a bad feeling he was blaming himself.
I still remembered his face the moment after he lunged at me, he instantly knew and regretted everything. The look on his face was that of pure agony, he hated himself. It was something I intended to fix when I saw him again. I would apologize to him for making him uncomfortable. 'Yesterday was all my fault.'
My leg was shaking underneath my desk as I waited impatiently for the bell to ring; my new truck keys in my hand. I had actually been surprised Charlie had gotten me a truck for my birthday over the weekend, with my special ability to trip over thin air, it was not expected.
Finally my prayers were answered by the ear splitting shrill from the school bell, everyone jumped from their seats heading for the door. Even though I was in a hurry, I took my time knowing I didn't want to end up flat on my face. The odds of getting trampled in high school were just too great for me. Luck however was not on my side as my converse shoe didn't fully make it around my desk when I finally got up, causing me to tumble into the next desk.
"Great…" I mumbled as I straightened my bag out and continued to the door.
I heard a slight laugh before my teacher was able to control her initial reaction, "Miss Swan are you alright?"
I just nodded my head looking down as I headed as quickly as I could from the class room towards the school parking lot. Looking out across the school parking lot the cement dark with moisture from the last rain, I saw the large red truck Charlie bought from his lifelong friend Billy from the reservation as a birthday present to me.
It was an awesome truck actually, I didn't really like the Volvo Edward drove around in. He enjoyed it though, Alice liked the small fast cars as well. 'Maybe it will be something I might take a liking too once Edward changes me.'
After making it across the parking lot, surprisingly without incident, I pushed the large metal key into the door and opened it. The door creaked slightly, but swung open without issue. Hopping in and turning on the defrost to get the thin layer of fog off of the windshield. Looking over and smiling at the new radio Emmitt installed in my truck; I am seriously going to have to thank Emmett and Rosalie better now that I am not bleeding all over their living room.
Putting the truck into drive, I headed out of the school parking lot slower than any of the other cars leaving just to be careful. Getting lost in my head briefly as I drove down the street towards home. Thinking to myself, 'I'll drop off my bag at home and leave a message for Charlie and head over to the Cullen's house'. Smiling and nodding my head as I pulled onto my street.
My mind stopped working seeing Edwards's dark Volvo sitting in front of my house, Edwards was standing outside leaning against his car. His arms were crossed over his chest and his right leg was lazily crossed over the other. Smiling I couldn't help but admire him, it didn't matter what he did; he always looked perfect.
Pulling up into the driveway I left my bag in the car as I got out closing the door behind me. Shoving my hands into the warm flannel lined pockets of my jacket as I walked over to him, with the feeling of unease from school coming back when his gaze never came up to meet mine.
I took a deep breath standing next to him, "You weren't at school today. None of you were." Swallowing, "Is everyone alright?"
He nodded his head, "Jasper needed some time. He is hunting with Emmett right now." His eyes finally meeting mine, they were dark gold almost black, but not quite yet. "Will you take a walk with me?" He stood up stepping away from his car.
The unease in my stomach turned into a giant rock as he turned and headed into the woods across from my house. Looking around all I could do was follow him into the woods covered in darkness by the tall tree canopy above.
We walked for about five minutes before he turned to me, "Bella I am sorry about what happened at your party. It should never have happened." He sighed.
I shook my head reaching out to touch his arm, 'I need to touch him'; unfortunately he stepped away and out of my reach. "I am sorry Bella, but it will be easier this way."
I shook my head, "What do you mean Edward? What will be easier this way? I don't understand." My mind was running a million miles a minute, 'he isn't saying what I think he is saying right?'
He turned away from me, "Bella I am sorry, we have been here too long and people at the hospital are starting to question Carlisle about not aging. We are leaving Forks, the other have already gone. I only stayed to let you know."
Nodding my head, "Now?" taking a breath, "Okay, I will need to think up something to tell Charlie. And packing, I will need to grab my things." My hands coming out of my pockets wringing together in front of my body. 'What was I going to tell Charlie? Studying abroad? Last minute Vacation? No, he wouldn't go for that, I haven't even gradu….'
Edward cut off my train of thought by placing his hand on my arm without words at first. It seemed like an eternity before he spoke, when in reality it was only seconds. "Bella, we are going. Us. Not you."
I felt my heart skip a beat as I ran his words over and over in my head, 'I couldn't be hearing him right. Could I?' Looking up at him I grabbed his arm, the fine silk of his shirt crinkling under my fingers. "Edward please, you can't mean that. I want to go with you, I want to be like you. Please Edward, I love you."
Edward wrapped his arms around me, I didn't know how badly I had been shaking until he held me still against his stone form. "You don't belong with us Bella, you are human."
Shaking my head against him as tears began to fall from my eyes, "I don't want to be human, and I am useless as a human. Please turn me, I want you to turn me." I felt like I couldn't breathe any longer, my fingers numb from how tightly I was gripping his shirt. "I love you. I want to be with you."
He was so still; I could no longer tell if I was clinging to him or a statue, "Bella you need to stop this." He pulled himself from my grasp and stood on a fallen tree about three feet away. "Bella, I don't want you to come." He turned his head looking off in another direction momentarily, looking back at me his eyes now black as night. "I don't love you Bella."
I stopped in my tracks, my mind a blank slate. I tried willing my mouth to move but nothing was coming out, my vocal cords were not working. 'My mind is playing tricks on me, this is not happening.' Slowly trying to make my way to him. "I don't understand. You…you love me, I know you do."
My eyes started glossing over as they filled with tears, 'No no no this isn't happening, he loves me. They love me. Right? They are my family.' Wrapping my arms around myself trying to fight off the deep cold trying to settle in my body. "I love you Edward." It came out more of a strained whisper, but I knew he heard me.
He turned away from me, "I am sorry Bella, but I…"
I couldn't help but cut him off, "If this is about what happened at my party, I don't blame Jasper. I was actually going to apologize to him. I was careless and it caused him pain. I am sorry."
He just shook his head, "It should never have happened Bella. I am sorry, but we are leaving. You need to live your life. Grow up, get married, have kids. I can't take that from you. What we have….. It isn't real." He leaned over pressing his cold lips to my forehead, "Good-Bye Bella."
I stood there for a moment my eyes shut tightly, when I opened them he was gone. "Ed….." I couldn't even out his full name it hurt so much, dropping to the damp forest floor as I tried pulling myself together. I turned as started walking back the way I thought we had come from, but after 15 minutes of stumbling I realized I must have gone the wrong way.
However a few moments later I heard the sounds of a car engine and kept pushing forward, I needed to get home. Charlie would be worried if I wasn't home when he got off his shift.
Stepping out of the tree line I sighed in relief seeing Ben's truck, walking around to his window seeing him making out in the front seat with Angela. Feeling the twist of the knife Edward thrusted in my heart 'I should be happy for them right?' shaking my head. No not right now I can't.
Turning I saw the street sign realizing I must have been walking parallel to my street, and started walking back towards my house.
Reaching my house I walked inside hanging my coat on the rack numbly. Walking into the kitchen I pulled out a steak, spices and the meat tenderizer after washing my hands. Grabbing a bowl from the cabinet not even bothering closing the door all the way as I tossed the meat into the bowl along with the spices.
My hands kneading the spiced into the meat as my thoughts started going over Edwards words again in my head, he called what we had not real how could it be not real? I knew what I felt, he just talked to me like I was a child.
Huffing as I took the meat from the bowl and tossing it on the cutting board as I picked up the solid metal tenderizer, the cold metal in my hand reminding me of him as I slammed the tenderizer down on the meat. Memories started flooding though my head, as I kept hitting the meat. 'School, our field, baseball, Arizona, our prom, our trips through the trees. I wasn't worth any of it was I? Was it a game to him? What did I do?'
I never felt the tears flowing down my face or the front door open nothing reached through to me until I felt arms wrapping around me pulling me away from the counter, a hand on mine prying the tenderizer from my grip as I fell to the floor screaming at him, "WHAT DID I DO? What did I do? What did I do….."
I turned into his arms finally seeing it was Charlie, he looked completely lost as he kept his arms wrapped around my quivering form.
He put the tenderizing up on the counter as we sat on the floor, "Bells, what happened?"
I just pressed my face into his shirt soaking it through, "He left me… they left me." I felt like there was a vice around my chest, I couldn't breathe as he just held me for a while.
I don't know how long we sat on the floor, my dad with his back against the counter with me wrapped up in his arms. Finally I sat up I could feel my face was swollen and hot from crying, "I am sorry." I looked down embarrassed about my behavior.
He just tucked a stand of hair behind my ear, "You have nothing to be sorry for. I am guessing you and Edward broke up?"
I hissed and froze hearing him saying his name, but then nodded not trusting my voice to work.
He sighed nodding, "I'll order a pizza Bells, you go relax alright?" I glanced up at the meat and cringed seeing I had not only tenderized it, but it looked like meat mush now. Sighing as I got up to clean my mess, but Charlie ushered me out of the kitchen; probably afraid of the next thing I would grab.
Well there was chapter one! I know that it follows very closely to the book and other story lines but I promise in the next few chapter there is going to be a pretty big twist from the normal. I have actually been trying to find a story like this to read and my head kept making up what I wanted it to be, soooooo duh! Why don't I write it!
Please review and I really hope you enjoy reading this as much as I am enjoying writing it.
