Chapter One

I woke to the annoying buzzing sound that my alarm clock made at 6 every morning. I quickly hit the snooze button and slowly got out of bed. It's been almost six months since he left. I try not to think about him but it gets harder and harder everyday.

Even though I've made a new life for myself, getting much better grades, getting a new boyfriend, I still couldn't get him out of my head. But the best part of everything was that now I was a vampire.

Getting changed didn't hurt like he said it would. Well I guess I had just become accustomed to pain. It just felt a little uncomfortable. I just made sure that I wasn't alone during the change. Laurent was there with me. He became a teacher at Forks Middle School. I just asked him to change me, it took a lot of convincing but he finally caved.

He took care of me. He taught me how to hunt animals instead of people. He also let me live with him. My dad had died a month prior to me being changed and my mom died almost a year before.

Laurent had become a father figure to me. He was there for me when I needed him the most. Unlike Edward who left me when I needed someone the most. Every time I thought about him I became engulfed by a whirlwind of hate and anger. How could he leave me like that? I could remember that day like it was yesterday.


I was really depressed that day. My father had died the day before in a car crash. The car he had hit had Billy Black and his son Jacob in it. All three of them were killed instantly. I didn't really care for Billy or Jacob but it was my dad. I thought Edward would understand but I was wrong.

"Bella, why don't you just grow up and suck it up" I had never heard him talk that way to me before.

"Edward, how can you say that? He was my dad" I was beginning to get really angry at him.

"Bella, he's gone. Stop crying" Now I was beginning to think this wasn't my Edward.

"Well if you don't want to be here for me when I need you then you should just go" I started to scream at him.

"Fine. Then I will" I couldn't believe it. He just said he was going to leave me.

He quickly took out his cell phone and began to call someone.

"Carlisle, we're leaving now" I started to cry. I couldn't believe it. "I'm not going to explain anything. Just pack up and leave. I'll meet you there" he hung up his cell, gave me one last glare, and then he was gone. Now I was alone in my house, everyone I loved was gone.

I just sat on my bed, crying my eyes out, and cursing until my voice was hoarse.

But that was all in the past now. I had a new boyfriend now. His name was Mark Johnson. He was a new student at Forks High and he was a vampire too. I'll have to admit that he was no Edward, but he was close.


"Dad, I'm going out with Mark tonight. Don't wait up" I started calling Laurent dad about a month ago. He really didn't seem to mind. I think he even kind of liked it.

"Ok Bells. Just be home in time for school tomorrow" he always said things like this because I didn't need sleep anymore.

"Ok dad. I'll see you later" then I was out the door.

I met Mark in my driveway. He had a car almost identical to Edwards except his was a midnight blue color instead of black.

"Hey baby" he said as he gave me a kiss.

"Where are you taking me tonight" I asked as I slid into the passengers seat.

"I thought we might just go see a movie and then go to the park and walk around" I loved he didn't spend oodles of money on me. I like the simple things.

As he pulled into the parking lot I noticed a familiar black car. I bit my tongue as we drove past it. I saw five familiar faces emerge from the car. It's been almost half a year since I've seen any of them.

I felt my stomach churn as he parked directly across from the Cullen's. I slowly got out of the car, hoping that none of them saw me.

"Baby, what are you doing" he started to laugh at how stupid I looked, emerging from the car in slow motion.

"Nothing. What movie are we going to see" I asked trying to diver the conversation away from me.

"Whatever looks good" we both laughed and began walking away from the car, his arm around my waist and my hand in his back pocket.

I didn't notice that the Cullen's were still at there car. At least that was until I felt their eyes on me.

"Bella" said a familiar voice that I hadn't heard in such a long time. I turned around and saw the Cullen kids all staring at me in awe.
