Hey guys :)
I've been reading loads of AH-MAZING twilight fics and it totally got me in the mood to write one myself. This is my first time ever writing a fic so I am kinda scared and hoping that you guys like this and if you do I will put more chapters up ASAP!
Title: Way Back Into Love
Summary: Bella was a popular until one night. She moves to Forks to escape her heartache from the past. She is now an outsider and no longer trusts anyone. When she meets Edward he is determined to change that. But can he help her love again?
Disclaimer: I do not own any of these character all of which belong to the genius that is Stephenie Meyer.
Chapter 1
My phone rudely woke me from my restless slumber. I knew exactly who it was, Dr. Banner my psychiatrist. She'd been calling me everyday since my mother's death.
Thinking about my mother's death caused another flood of tears to fall from my already bloodshot eyes. I thought I had cried out all of my tears but obviously I hadn't.
I still remembered my mother's death like it was yesterday. I was a little sceptic at first when she mentioned that we were going shopping. Shopping was my least favourite hobby. And it wasn't to the fact that my mother spent her last living moments in a shopping mall. From that day on I vowed to never step foot in a shopping mall ever again. For that was where my mother was brutally murdered. Phil, her psycho ex-boyfriend decided to end her life.
His black, emotionless eyes still haunted my dreams, when I stared at his face, whilst I was hunched over my mother's limp, lifeless body. I remember the way he looked at me with a sinister smile as if he was proud of what he had done. He was an evil bastard that deserved to rot in jail.
The sounds of Dr. Banner's voice brought me back to the present. "Bella, are you there?"
"Erm, yes, I am. I'm sorry, it's just that your call woke me."
"I'm sorry, Bella. But it's good to hear that you are now sleeping. I was just calling to see how you are? I called your father this morning and he told me he's on his way to Phoenix now and he should be with you shortly. He seems very pleased that you are going to live with him."
"That's good," I said sarcastically. It wasn't that I didn't want to live with my dad, it's just that I didn't want to live where he did. I detested Forks.
My dad, Charlie lived in Forks. It was from that wretched town that my mom escaped with me when I was only a few months old. Although, I used to visit him every summer, until 3 years ago he vacationed with me in California instead. It was in Forks though, where I met Rosalie and her twin brother Jasper. I had so much memories with them from Forks. I wonder if they still live across the road from Charlie. I felt that Forks was going to be the new start I needed to help me forget the horrible memories from Phoenix.
"Bella... Bella?" My psychiatrist's shrill voice came from the other end of the line once again, breaking me from my reverie. "I know how you're life has changed dramatically over these past few weeks." No shit, I thought to myself. "But, I personally think that Forks might be a good idea.
I rolled my eyes although she couldn't see as we were in the phone. "Yes, maybe." I said a moment later with an exasperated sigh.
"I'll be coming over as well soon, to meet you with your father. But for now goodbye."
I hung up the phone without bothering to say goodbye. I just wasn't in the mood. I slowly got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. I groaned when I caught sight of my reflection as I passed the mirror. I stood in front of it to get a better view of my face.
My usually perfectly styled brown shiny hair now hung limply past my shoulders showing no signs of life. My twinkling brown eyes no longer sparkled when I smiled, although I never even did that anymore. I had dark circles around my eyes from my lack of sleep. To be honest I looked rough.
I knew as soon as I saw Charlie he would notice my significant change to my image. Although, it was to be expected. I honestly missed Charlie and I hadn't seen him since last Christmas and all I wanted was a hug from my dad. I couldn't wait for him to arrive.
After washing myself I went downstairs and placed a chocolate pop-tart in the toaster. I vowed to myself that I wouldn't cry today, for Charlie's sake as well as my own. But this was pointless, as I knew it would be inevitable.
I managed to last a whole hour until the post came. Under all the useless promotional offers on hair removal cream I found a letter addressed to Renee Swan. I never knew the reason why my mom kept Charlie's name after they were divorced. My heart plummeted and before I knew it I was curled up in a ball on the floor and a new flow of tears were falling from my eyes.
A short three taps on the door startled me. I slowly got up and unlocked the door. Charlie stood before me looking just as tired as I was. He still looked exactly the same from when I had saw him last year although his once dark wavy hair now contained small grey tufts of hair. As soon as he saw me crying a surprised look washed over his face and he pulled me into his chest and let me ruin his shirt.
" Bells. It's gonna be okay. I'm here for you now honey." I could feel Charlie rubbing circles into my back. It soothed me and I eventually stopped crying. We made our way to the kitchen and awaited Dr. Banner's arrival.
Charlie sat in the old chair in the corner and looked around the room whilst I sat at the table and finished eating my poptart. Once I'd finished eating Charlie told me all about Forks. From the sounds of it nothing had changed. Rose and Jasper still lived across the road from him, although there were some new people in town. This made me wary, I wasn't good with new people.
"I haven't spoken to the kids," Charlie was saying. "But I'm really good friends with the parents. Esme, the mom helped me with all the renovations at the house, and she designed your room, too. I gotta tell you Bells, it looks amazing. She designed their house too, although it looks like it belongs in Beverly Hills rather than in Forks. Their father, Carlisle, he's a doctor. He's far too good for Forks but Esme likes living in small places with hardly any people. Jake's missed you too."
I nodded at this, and wondered what these new people were like. From Charlie's description they sounded like the perfect family, but my assumptions were always wrong. I looked up at the mention of Jake's name. I remembered the times I would visit Charlie would take me down to Billy's house to see Jacob. He would always be my first crush.
"Hello..." Dr. Banner's voice came from the front door.
"Excuse me," Charlie said. "But who the hell are you and what are you doing here?" He got up in his seat and towered over Dr. Banner's small frame.
"Dad... dad. Calm down, she's my psychiatrist. Hello, Dr. Banner." Dr. Banner was the worst psychiatrist in the history of psychiatrists. Seriously a monkey could do her job better than she did. I blamed her for me still not recovering from my mother's death.
"Yes... so you must be Charlie, Bella's father." She said, before extending her hand for Charlie to take.
"Yes.. I am." He said in a gruff tone and he sat back down.
"So... Bella. As you are moving away from Phoenix, I'll call you every single day to see how you're recovering from your traumatic experience. I'm sure I can help you in everything that you need." Her voice grated on me so much, I tried to make it drift into the background but I couldn't seem to do so. "Have you been taking your medication because if you haven't..."
"Oh, just shut up!" I said, making her jump as my chair slid across the kitchen lino. "Do you seriously know how stupid you sound. You call yourself a psychiatrist, you know nothing!" I don't know what caused my sudden outburst, but it felt good so I carried on some more. "Why don't you get your snooty little ass out of my house and leave me alone." I paused to catch my breath back.
"What? What have you done to her?" She pointed at Charlie. "She used to be a nice girl and listen to me."
"I've done nothing. But I believe her. From what I've seen from these past few minutes your absolutely rubbish. The crap coming from your mouth makes no sense entirely!" Go Charlie, I thought to myself. "Now get your crap out of here and I am sure to find Bella a new psychiatrist in Forks, now just leave."
Dr. Banner left with a sigh and when she left Charlie and I both smirked at each other. "Thanks Dad," I said.
He put his arms around me again. "Anytime, kiddo. You ready to go." I nodded at him and went to pick up my stuff from my room. I left my keys inside the front door before locking it, ready for the estate agents to come and sell my old house.
I stepped into the taxi that Charlie had ordered and we made our way to the airport in a haze. The last thing I remembered was getting onto a plane before everything went black.
Charlie must have carried me, God knows how because he was now walking up the path to his house with me in his arms.
"Dad..." I said, my voice was husky from sleeping. "Put me down..." I weakly tried to get out of his arms. The door must have already been opened because he was now carrying me upstairs to my new room. He put me down on the bed and began walking to the door.
I watched him hold his back as if he was in pain but he walked off towards the stairs.
I got up and turned the light on. I blinked several times at the brightness of the room. Charlie was right, Esme had done an amazing job with my room. The walls were painted a soft beige colour which went amazingly well with the deep plum bed covers and curtains. In the middle of the room was a giant bed twice the size of my bed in Phoenix. There was light wood furniture, complete with a desk and a new computer. In the corner of the room was my rocking chair from my baby days it was amazing.
I made my way to the window to admire the view. The view from my bedroom window was one of the good things about Forks. I opened my window and anticipated to see the wonderful view. Instead of the view I was expecting to see, in it's place was a enormous white mansion that looked out of place in Forks. It was about 50 yards away and I could still see the view although the ginormous house obscured the view.
I could see someone on the balcony of the house. It was a boy and he was looking straight at me too. I stood where I was, I so badly wanted to move but it felt as though my feet were glued to the floor. I couldn't see what he looked like, but I could his distinct bronze hair from a mile away. He looked away from me suddenly and made his way back inside the giant mansion. It took me a few minutes to recover.
I made my way to the bed in the middle of my new room and fell asleep. I thought about who Charlie would get to be my psychiatrist. But most of all I wondered who that new boy was...
Well... what do you think? Yes or no? I'm not sure yet I have written three other chapter but I'm not sure if people like it so if I do get some reviews then yes of course I will upload more. I know that this story seems to be MEGA angsty but trust me it's not. In the coming chapters you meet Emmett who I plan to have lots and lots of humour! So tell me what you think. And... if anyone wants to be my beta reader...?
