Chapter 1: Old news, new news

Ever had that moment in your life when you swore to guard your heart from men in America. No, Well I did but that plan never worked and sadly I fell in love with a tatted architect who broke my heart. He left to save me from his addiction when all along his protecting me from that side of his life resulting in him protecting me from himself. Edward was his name, and he was an H addict. He would spend thousands on the good stuff from the other side of town. A year and half into our relationship he left for rehab but never came back and that was over three years ago. But little did he know he left me 3 months pregnant with our beautiful daughter Lizzie who is now two years old. She's pale, smart and Edward all over. From her hair to her feet and has his whole 'I know I'm cute so let's just cut to the chase' attitude. I'm a single parent and 24 years old. My mom and dad both died in a car crash. I'm also a full time student working as an assistant nurse while in school to become a midwife. I love my life and it was perfect until he showed up at the same park me and Lizzie was at for the day. With a woman and two kids.

AT THE PARK….

"LIZZIE" I called to her for the fifth time and still no answer. As I turn the corner I see a face I haven't seen in ages walking with a beautiful short woman with black spike hair and fashion sense to die for. I spotted Lizzie playing with some little blonde headed little girl. I quickly ran to her and scooped her up.

"Say bye to your friend we need to go now." I whispered in her ear. After she told the little girl bye I hightailed it out of there but luck wasn't on my side because I was stopped by a figure standing in front of me and without looking up I knew who it was. His scent strong ocean and musky.

"Bella?" he said in a surprising voice. I slowly looked up and he had the nerve to have a grin on his face and without my consent my hand reached up to slap him across the cheek. I slapped him so loud it echoed through the park and made everyone stare even the beautiful woman and her two kids.

"I'm so sorry." I said while my hand covered my mouth and I began to run again as I was running I felt Elizabeth turn her head to look back. I buckle her in car seat and turned with tears in my eyes to see Edward still standing holding his cheek while the lady tries to console him he looks up at me. We had a silent stare down for five seconds until I enter my car and drive off with big fat tears coming down my face.

"MOMMIE, AWE YOU OKAY? WHY YOU CWYING? IS IT BECAUSE OF ME?"

Were the words that came from the mouth of my four year old. I looked to her through the rearview mirror and saw she had unshed tears in her eyes. I pulled over, reached back and unbuckled her from her car seat and sat her in her lap while consoling and reassuring her she did nothing wrong and mommy was just taken by surprise. After I gotten her to calm down, I drove to the one place and person who understood my pain, my best friend Jacob.
