Bella age 10

Edward age 8

AN: so they don't exactly sound that age. It's difficult for me to write from a younger age because I personally don't remember anything from my childhood. Yes I could learn from movies and such, but I believe they both would have been slightly more mature. I hope you enjoy my first twilight fanfic

Prologue- Losing a Best Friend

Edward Masen had always been my best friend, I had loved him since the day he was bought home from the hospital.

My mother, Renee was best friends with Elizabeth, Edwards mother. They helped each other out during there pregnancies and when my mother already had a girl and Elizabeth found out she would have a boy, they started to plan our wedding.

My mom told me that since the moment I first saw Edward, my eyes sparkled. Edward was all I would talk about. My father passed it off as the fact that he was like a new toy for me, but my mother thought it showed we were destined to be.

We've always been inseparable, and it helped that I never made any other friends.

My mom was afraid of the public school system and private institutions were not an option in the tiny town of Forks, Washington. My father insisted that going to private school would be fine for me. He told my mom countless times that nothing would happen and she should trust him because he was one of Forks best police officer in the force.

"Bella," Edward said.

I opened my eyes to the sparkling green gems that were Edwards eyes. "Morning,"I mumbled. "Why are you up to early?" My voice was harsh and thick from just waking up.

"It's your last day in Forks," he moved away unblocking my view. All of the packed boxes reminded me that my mother was moving me across the country to new Hampshire. She divorced my dad to be with her boyfriend, Phil. The of course included me being dragged across the country.

She had forced me to move away from my best friend.

"Edward-" I started before he cut me off.

"Jelly Belly, don't cry," It was only after he said it, I felt my eyes sting with tears. "I promise to always love you," he smiled.

"Eddie thats so sweet," I chuckled

"Don't. Call. Me. That." He clenched his teeth spiting each word out venomously. He hated that nick name almost as much as I hated being called Jelly Belly.

"I'm sorry Edward, so what dya wanna for my last day in Forks?"

"Why do you have to go? You can stay with Charlie or me, I'll keep you safe."

Edward mentioned protecting me only because that was the main reason why I had to move. My mother had no trust in anyone, which is why I don't understand how she trusted Phil enough to move across the country with him. "My mom won't let me Edward, I've tried everything," I explained to him.

"What we do today is a surprise!" he abruptly changed the subject. I would be happier for a change of topic but I hated surprises.

"Why do you have to torture me on my last day?" I asked "Why can't we just stay in my room or watch The lion king?"

"Because."

"Edward you know because isn't an answer."

"Yeah, and we've seen lion king like a quadrillion times."

"So."

"So I have a surprise, get dressed."

"What should I wear, where are we going?"

"Just wear what you always wear."

"Oh man I was going to wear the dress my mommy just bought me."

"How does she not know you don't like dresses?"

"She just doesn't understand." I sighed. Edward was the only person that understood my relationship with my mother. My father, Charlie always passed it off but Edward saw that she just didn't understand that I was different.

And I was never the little girl my mother wanted.

I grabbed my clothes and rushed to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and changed into my jeans.

Once I left my bathroom I found a patiently waiting Edward siting at the top of my stairs.

I rushed down the stairs, ignored Edward, and slipped on the last stem. My funny bone slammed against the banister.

Edward came rushing over, "Bella, are you okay?"

"There's nothing funny about hitting your funny bone," I sighed desperately trying not to cry.

"It's okay," Edward soothed, "I'll kiss it to make it better."

Edward reached for my arm and softly placed his lips on my skin, It was so quick and soft I barely felt it. My skin tinkling was the only reminder of the kiss.

"Eww," I exclaimed "Cooties."

Edward look upset. "I would never give you cooties Bella."

"I know, I was kidding. I don't even know what that really means." I really didn't Lucy someone my mother had tried to make my friend said it when she first met Edward. "So where are we going?"

"Close your eyes."

"Edward," I whined dragging his name out, "I already can't walk. It will just be worse if I'm blind."

"I won't let you fall, trust me."

He covered my eyes and led me out the front door. I felt the thick dewy air around me, a staple of forks, the rainiest town in the United States.

The leaves crunched beneath my feet. The only other noise besides Edwards and my short breaths.

A short time passed before Edward exclaimed, "We're here," and lifted his hands away from my face.

The trees behind my backyard were wrapped in blankets. They dangled from the green mossy twigs.

Edward had built me a fort in my own backyard. I knew my mother would not have let us travel far from the property, but Edward had given me a get away in my own backyard.

"It looks so nice," I walked through the makeshift curtain.

"My mom helped," He admitted sheepishly.

"I do not feel like I am in forks anymore," I really didn't the blankets created a deep blue glow. A few Christmas lights were strung from the branches obviously by his mother. It was the tallest fort ever.

Edward and I had always dreamed of making a fort using the trees but we were both to short to reach.

"I knew you'd like it," he exclaimed.

We spent the entire afternoon in the fort. Edward had placed peanut butter sandwiches and apple juice boxes in a cooler for our lunch.

I knew my time with him was almost over but for right now I was euphoric. I hoped I would be able to visit Edward often when I was visiting with Charlie.

"Bella," my mother called "Bella we've got to leave soon, tell Edward goodbye."

My mom couldn't wait to leave. The excitement was easily heard in her voice.

"Edward, I'll see you soon. I promise." It was truly effecting me, the fact that my best friend would no longer be available all of the time.

"Wait Bella. I have something I made for you," Edward said just as I was reaching for the curtain to leave.

In Edwards palm was a blue braided bracelet for my wrist, although it was a little big. Dangling from the tail were two green beads. My favorite color as Edward knew.

"Edward," I exclaimed. "This is beautiful, and my favorite colors. Thank you." I hugged him . I felt his warm tears soil my shirt but I didn't care. I have always cried on him and it was his turn for me to comfort.

"My mom also bought you this, But I picked it out." In Edwards palm was a long black velvet box. I reached forward and opened it slowly.

"Edward, it's beautiful," I said "Please put it on for me." I lifted my long brown hair and Edward placed the long sleek white gold key necklace around my neck. The key sat low on my chest dangling down.

"So you know you always belong somewhere," Edward said right before my mom ripped the blanket down from the tree.

"Isabella," my mom screeched. She was using her I'm mad but I don't want the neighbors to know voice. "Phil is waiting. Everything is already on there way to New Hampshire, we have to leave now."

I hugged Edward on last time, I desperately tried to remember every last detail of him. I wanted to remember his clean scent, his unruly bronze hair and his perfect piercing green eyes.

"I love you Edward." I breathed into his ear before my mother pulled us apart and began to drag me to the front where Phils car was waited.

I looked back and saw his dazzling green eyes for the last time.

Okay so thats the first chapter/prologuey thingy. I hope to update daily except on the weekends.

"Mom look out," I screamed as the blinding headlights continued to head straight towards us.
