I pulled into the crowded parking lot, trying to find an empty space. Luck was obviously on my side tonight, as there was one spot open, directly in front of the entrance. As soon as I had my car parked, I made my way to the ticket booth, smiling as I got closer to the flashing lights. I could hear the laughter from all of the people on the rides and the wailing of little children wanting cotton candy.

Coming to the fair always reminded me of being a little kid, which was probably why I was so eager to come every year. It let me escape being an adult for a little while. It reminded me of a time when everything was simple, when choosing a colored crayon was the hardest decision to make, when I wasn't in love with my best friend, Edward Cullen, the epitome of perfection.

I met him after my family and I had moved to Forks, Washington and into the house next door to his. He had the messiest hair I had ever seen in my short ten years of life and the greenest of eyes. I became quick friends with him and his sister Alice -who was much like a life-sized barbie doll, always dressed up in pink clothes and wearing tons of jewelry-, along with their brother Emmett, who intimidated me at first, until I quickly realized he was the nicest of them all. The three of us went through everything together, puberty, puppy love, broken hearts, and surprisingly we all made it through high school and Edward's and Emmett's many girlfriends in one piece.

Emmett being the first to graduate, moved to Seattle, where he moved into his own apartment. Alice, Edward and I would spend almost every weekend there, going out to all the different places and just having fun. Edward graduated a year later and moved in with Emmett. To say Alice and I were sad would be an understatement. The first week of the new school year was the toughest because we didn't have either one of the boys there with us. They would come visit or we would go there, but it just wasn't the same. Alice and I had decided that once we graduated we would move to Seattle too.

All of our lives definitely changed in a short amount of time. Alice opened up her own clothing and beauty boutique, Alice's Wonderland. I got my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and achieved my dream of becoming a Preschool teacher, while Emmett and Edward opened up their own construction company, E & E Construction. Soon after I got my job, I met Rosalie Hale. She was extremely beautiful with long blond hair and deep blue eyes. I invited her to come hang out with the four of us one night and that was pretty much the end of it. She brought her brother, Jasper, who Alice took an instant liking to. He didn't seem like someone she would usually go for with his curly, honey-blond hair and charming southern accent. I was wrong though. She started dating him about a month later. Rose and Emmett turned out quite the opposite, always arguing and making rude remarks towards each other. Around that time was when my feelings for Edward became clear to me and I realized that I was completely and utterly in love with him. Luckily for me, his incessant dating came to a stop.

That was over a year ago and nothing has really changed. Alice and Jasper are still madly in love with each other, Emmett and Rosalie are still trying to rip each others throats out, and me, well, I'm still in love with Edward Cullen and he's still totally oblivious.

I thought I would go ahead and tell anyone that read my last story I'm Only Me When I'm With You, that this is pretty much the same story, I just changed a few things and started the story differently.

If any of you have any questions about either stories, feel free to message me.
