Author's Note:
I started this story a long time ago but I never got to finish it. I just deleted the old story earlier today and I'm re-posting it. I've made some changes in the story and I hope they are for the better. I'm in my last college course now so I'll be able to start updating much more quickly. It had been a long time since I updated the original version of this story. If anyone is interested in being a beta for me, let me know. I would like someone with experience and can help grow my writing in a positive way. I took a creative writing class before I began my last class and it helped me greatly. I'm going to try to update the story once a week on Sunday for now. Once I'm finished with school, I will try to update twice a week.
Prologue
Hello, my name is Isabella Swan but please call me Bella. I'm 16 years old and I live in the small town of Forks, Washington with my dad Charlie, who is the chief of police. It was the summer before my freshman year when I moved to Forks to live with Charlie. Before moving to Forks, I lived in Phoenix, Arizona with my Renee, my mom. My mom Renee is what one would call a free spirit. She's flighty and acts more like a kid while I act more like an adult. I'm the one that did the cooking, cleaning, and made sure the bills were paid. My mom who was a kindergarten teacher at a local elementary school in Phoenix used to deposit her checks so I could pay the bills. She had a checkbook with a bunch of signed checks in it ready to go for me. All I had to do with fill out the rest of the information and mail the bills off.
A few months before the end of my 8th grade year in Phoenix, Renee met Phil Dwyer, a minor league baseball player. Six weeks after meeting, Phil and my mom were married in a small wedding consisting of just the three of us. Phil is quite a bit younger than my mom so his parents were not happy about the marriage and didn't show up for the wedding. A few weeks after they were married, Phil left for Jacksonville, Florida. He was traded from the Arizona team to one in Jacksonville. Renee had a hard time dealing with Phil being gone. That's when I decided to move to Forks to live with Charlie. My mom was unhappy and wanted to be with Phil. She wanted the freedom to be able to travel around with him during baseball season.
So much has happened to me since moving to Forks. Even though it's rainy and dreary here, I love it. I've made some really good friends and I have an amazing boyfriend who is the love of my life. I know, I know I'm young and how would I know that he's the love of my life when I haven't even really lived my life yet? Well I truly believe that sometimes you just know, and it doesn't matter that you're young.
Even though things are going good for me right now, things are about to change. I don't know if it will be for the better or for the worse but there are many lives the secret is going to affect. I just hope that I don't blow everyone's lives apart because of the secret. You see the secret that I'm keeping is major…..I'm pregnant and the love of my life is the father.
I suppose I should tell everyone how the pregnancy at 16 came to be. Here is my story.
