Prologue:
August in Forks, Washington was as busy as a small town could be. Sports teams were beginning their practices, back to school clubs were setting up meetings, shopping was being had.
Girls were gossiping over their new buys and what they had done over the short summer break, while the guys were busy tackling each other in their man-code ways of getting reacquainted. Parents were beginning to heave a sigh of relief that the kids would be out of their hair 24/7 very soon, while some grew slighty morose as their children would be leaving them more permanently as they head off to college.
The sun would try and shine through on as many days as it could, the humidity high coming from the surf of the ocean nearby. Everyone in general from jocks to nerds, and cheerleaders to the chess club all seemed happy to get back in and socialize with their peers.
Except this school year, everything would change. Everything, and there will be not one soul in that small town of 3000+ that won't be affected. There was an evil presence growing, and it was where no one would see it coming.
What would you do when those that are built in, designed, and created to protect you, the ones that you are supposed to trust the most become the very thing that haunts your dreams at night. What happens when someone you thought of as your protector and life coach becomes the monster under your bed?
What would you do?
AN: This will be a long author's note. This will only happen this one time, and it's meant for the rest of the story. I'm not saying there won't be an's elsewhere, they just won't be this massive. I really need to say everything here this one time before the story continues. Please bear with me.
My first fanfic, after seeing and reading so many wonderful stories, wanted to put my hat in the ring. Please bear with my mistakes, and clumsiness while this story falls from my brain to my fingers in what will probably be a very awkward telling. My hats off to those who accomplish it well.
This story is very very loosely based on Aerosmith's Janie's Got A Gun. The premise is there, but the details are different.
The subject matter in this story is likely to cause triggers, it will contain suggestive themes (there's no way I can write detailed images on these things) for mental, physical, sexual abuse. There will also be violence (not for a very long period, but it will happen, it can't not happen in this story)
If the theme or topics discussed disturb you or cause you pain, or you react in a way that could be hurtful, please I beg you to seek help. For you, or someone you know.
The topic of bullying is going to be very prevalent in some of the chapters, if you feel that you or someone you know in any way have been bullied, and maybe you or them don't know how to handle or manage it, then please, find someone you trust and seek counsel with them, someone that can help you out of the situation in the correct and humane way. Please don't ever ever take matters into your own hands, your life is too valuable for that.
The main characters will get a hea… I'm a firm believer in hea… they may not be rich and living their lives with lots of dough to spread, but there will be lots of love and that is truly all you need in life.
Jacob will not be a bad guy! I can't promise about anyone else. But my daughter would kill me if I ever made Jacob the bad guy. (no love interest for bella tho :P )
All the characters (except oc's I add) are all the property of Mrs. Stephanie Meyer. She owns them completely, I just wanna ruffle their feathers up a bit.
There is a lot of literary relief taken. I am not a doctor, psychologist, teacher, coach, lawyer, police officer or any of that. Some facts will be wrong, some things said will be way too blatant to be real, please realize I know this and that it's supposed to be that way for the setup of the story. The only thing I can claim to be is a mom, who loves her kids, and by extension their friends very much.
I don't have the whole story written. It's in my head and has been haunting me for weeks now. I can't tell you how long this story will be, or even when I will get to update. But I will update, and I don't expect it to be a long story, If we hit 20 chapters, I'll be surprised.
