They say that one day can change your life forever. People also say to live life to the full and make sure that you make every minute count.

I didn't listen until the day disaster hit our small town of Forks. It was weird, even more than my usual weird. People started off their days like any other, some with a fresh cup of coffee and others with their local newspaper. But I guess no one would have been able to see the events that were about to unfold that day.

My name Isabella Marie Swan and I was one of the lucky people that survived that tragic day.

-Flash back-

The rain pattered against the window as Mr Banner prepared the class for a video on nerve systems; not that I was paying much attention to what was happening around me. I was too busy moping about Edward and his family being on a hunting trip in the nearby mountains.

Sure, I would see Edward again that night, but my heart strings pulled whenever I was away from him. Of course, Mike never could take a hint, and took the opportunity to sit next me during Edward's absence.

Luckily, Mr Banner had ordered Mike to be silent as the movie was about to start, otherwise I might just have said something that I would, possibly, regret.

It was about twenty minutes into the movie that the earth literally started shaking beneath our feet. I could hear screaming around me as furniture started crashing to the ground and objects flew in all different directions.

Suddenly, the glass from the windows shattered around us which achieved more screams from my class mates. The earth was trembling out of control now and all I could hear was my class mates pleading and shouting for this to stop. I wanted this to end more than anything in the world,

Flashes of my family flickered across my eyes as I started to pray for their safety. And I never really was a praying kind of girl.

Mr Banner was demanding for us students to find a safe place for cover as the ceiling started cave in. The creaks of the plaster coming down were slow, steady, just a rhythmic hum of screeching objects tumbling gradually down.

I remember somebody pulling me towards the storage cupboard before my world went black.

I woke to the strong smell of dirt and rubble before I heard a distressed cry as I slowly began to regain my senses.

"Are you ok?" I managed in a low tone as I tried to move closer but my leg screamed in pain at any attempt of movement.

"They're gone!" were the only words that left her month.

"What?" I questioned, confused.

"They're gone," The person screamed before pointing their finger towards the door. That's when I noticed the door was wide open; there were ruins everywhere. Blood coated the floor and the once noisy room was now silent.

-End of flash back-

Remembering the earthquake brought tears to my eyes. I had lost so many friends that day; but I promised myself that they would never be forgotten. Their memories would live on through the survivors.

But really, I don't think anyone in Forks could've forgotten anyway.
