Chapter 1

I don't think I'm ready

Bella's POV

My name is Bella Swan I am 17 and live with My Dad, Charlie, Step-mum, Esme and Baby Brother Emmett, in Forks, Washington.

My story begins when I was 15 and living in Phoenix, Arizona with My Mum, Tanya and My Dad.

I woke up to hear loud noises down stairs I went down and saw my mum screaming at my dad to leave.

"Charlie get out of my face, just leave you drunken idiot!" Mum shouted furiously.

"Why Tanya, what did I do?" He slurred.

"Look what you did to the house. To my face. Nobody should ever want you." Said Tanya with anger and sadness in her voice

"I'm sorry" Charlie said "please forgive me" he pleaded

"Mum what's going on?" I asked

Mum turned around when she heard me when she turned around I put the light on and started crying. "What did you do to her Charlie?" I asked shocked it looked like some one had let a lion loose and made it scratch her face.

By now mum was in front of me on her hands and knees.

"How could you do this, you were supposed to love her and be with her Not near kill her, Just leave!" I started crying and fell to the ground next to mum. We sat there crying for hours.

6 months later

We haven't heard from Charlie since he left. Tanya and I are doing well. Her face has healed perfectly and it looks like nothing ever happened except for one scar on the side of her neck, we didn't talk about what had happened that night long ago. It just bought back to many memories.

Last Tuesday night Mum had gone to a high school reunion and met up with one of the guys from her old year level. His name's Phil. They had gone on a date yesterday and mum had invited him over for lunch today. To say she was excited was an understatement.

"Mum calm down you just saw him yesterday" I reminded her.

She calmed down a little. Soon there was a knock at the door, we looked at each other mum got up to go and answer it.

"Hello Phil" my mum said sounding like she was trying to keep her self from jumping up and rapping her self around him.

"Hi Tanya" he said sounding just as excited.

When mum and Phil came into the lounge I stood up.

"Hi I'm Bella" I said shyly.

"Hi, I'm Phil; Tanya has told me lots about you its great to finally meet you." He said.

"Likewise" I replied.

During lunch we talked about anything and everything. I found out that Phil is a baseball player for a major league. After lunch we watched 'Role models' (A/N I love this movie), then around 4pm Phil had to leave to get to training on time.

Mum and Phil have been dating for 4 weeks now; we go out and do stuff together all the time. It's been 7 months now since mum and dad got divorced and I haven't seen or heard from Charlie since that night.

It's Sunday night and I'm sitting in my room reading Wuthering heights.

"Bella" Mum yelled from downstairs.

"Yea Mum" I replied.

"Can you come down here please?" she sounded worried so I went to see what was going on.

"What's up Mum?" I asked.

"Sit down sweetie" she said then took a deep breath and started.

"Bella, Phil and I are thinking of moving in together."

"But…" was all I got out before mum cut me off

"I know what you're thinking 'why so soon, don't you think your moving a bit fast" she stopped head down.

"Mum, that's exactly what I am thinking, but… where are you guys gonna live? Where am I going to live?" I asked a little hurt

"Darling I meant all of us, meaning Phil would move in with us." she explained.

"Mum I understand that you are happy but how the hell can you get in another relationship so fast!" I snapped

"It's been 7 months Bella I'm not getting any younger!" Mum said in response

"yea Mum, 7 months you haven't even been divorced a year yet and your already moving in together. I like Phil too, I think you guys are great together, I just think that you need to stop and think about what you're doing!" I yelled then ran up the stairs.

"BELLA" I heard Mum shout.

"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN" she called me down again.

"What mum wanna tell me some other bull crap" I said

"Get down here now so we can talk" I headed back downstairs. Mum then started asking questions.

"Why would I do this if I didn't think I was ready?" she asked, her arms crossed over her chest.

"I don't know, I guess I'm not ready to have another person that isn't Dad living here." I said quietly, looking down at the tiled floor.

"Oh, sweetie I think this is best … for both of us." Mum said sympathetically before she headed upstairs.
