Hello everybody! I'm back!

I've been gone for a while now from Fanfiction, must be close to a year now but I'm back and have a new story to offer. And as a celebration for the new movie, I'm starting a new fanfic.

What if Ana and Christian didn't meet as they did in the books/movie? Would things be different?

Read to find out!

As usual; there is no strict updating scheme, if a chapter is finished, I'll update. If not, then you'll have to wait.

Also, there'll be a pinboard for this story. There's a link to my account in my bio and there you can click on the board you'd like to view. Normally all the pins should be up the same day as the chapter but sometimes it takes a bit longer to find the perfect picture to fit the scene.

But you should head over to check it out.

Drop your opinions in the comments.

APOV

I walked into the apartment I shared with my best friend and 'sister', Ella Lincoln, only to find it empty.

For 20 years we've been friends, so ever since I was one. Obviously I don't remember much from it but the story I've been told is quite cute. Aparently we were celebrating my birthday in the park and Ella was there as well with her older brother and their parents but no one came to my birthday party which was something little Ella, only 6 years old then, thought was wrong and joined us to celebrate. Ever since then we've been friends. Fastforward another 17 years and we moved in together in a large, luxurious apartment near campus so that I could go to classes easily. Her job was also nearby so it was a win win for the both of us.

Soon I'll be graduating College and she's already quit her job and we'll move back to where we're originally from: Seattle.

We both missed it and her family and so we decided to leave Vancouver behind and go back to where we came from. Our eye is already on an apartment we've seen there, in a complex called 'Escala'. It would be right underneath the pent house and it was much bigger than our apartment now with a way better view.

Even the price was good! It wasn't expensive at all for an apartment with those qualities. We only had to go see it in real life and since I've just come back from my final exam, we decided to go today because then we could stay in Seattle for a little while longer since I only had to be back by the following week.

It would be a surprise for her family because they thought that we'd only come by during the weekend but we thought we could just go see them because it's been too long since we've really seen each other. The daily phone calls and the weekly skype sessions were nowhere near enough.

"Ella, you here?" I yelled

"I'm in my room!" She yelled back.

I walked into her room and saw her in front of her vanity table with her hair in her hands, trying to twist it up and put it on her head in a bun which was failing because she had so much hair. Struggles, as she would call it.

She looked very mature and sophisticated, dressed in a white business-like dress with a pair of white heels and simple earrings in her ears.

I had to admit, I looked good as well for a day such as this. The meeting we had today was in the back of my head the entire time I spent getting ready this morning, I didn't care about my exam today but only the apointment with the real estate agent.

The clothes were chosen by Ella, not me because I would never choose something that revealing. I was dressed in a soft pink dress with a deep-v neckline and salmon coloured pumps. My hair was up in a half up-do to keep it out of my eyes and I was void of any make up or jewelry. I didn't like wearing make up at all and sometimes wore jewelry but most of the time I just didn't put any earrings in or wear a necklace because I'd forget it due to not having enough time.

"You look great." I complimented. "You'd look even better with your hair down."

"Really? I wasn't sure." She confessed, letting her hair down.

I never got why she always wanted to wear her hair up. Her raven black hair was long and wavy and very, very beautiful. Of course, Ella was a very beautiful woman in all. She was tall but not overly so, it wasn't as if she stood out in a crowd. She had a very feminine body: slim yet curvy where she needed to have them and she didn't do anything to hide her curves. Her face was soft but I knew that she could adapt it to a hard, cold-looking face rather quick and could slip into an emotionless facade. She had beautiful, shiny dark brown eyes and soft, delicate features.

Yes, Ella Lincoln was definitely a woman to be envious of.

"I'm very sure, Ells." I assured him before pointing to the clock on the wall. "Uhm, Ella. Maybe we should get going if we want to get there on time."

"Yeah. Good idea." She agreed.

The ride to Seattle was longer than anticipated because we got stuck in traffic for a little while but we still got there on time. She asked about my exam during the ride and we talked about some other things but mainly the ride was quiet, both of us enjoying the peace for a couple of minutes before we'd be hearing to many talk in the little time the agent had to show us the place.

We arrived with ten minutes to spare and the agent had let us know that she'd be a bit later because she was still stuck in traffic but would be there soon. Ella already went in the building, saying she'd wait in the lobby but I stayed in the car a bit longer because I got a call from Kate Kavanaugh, a girl I'd met at college and became pretty close friends with.

"Hey, Ana. I didn't see you after the exam so I wanted to ask how it went."

I smiled. "Hey Kate, yeah I had to run because I needed to get to an apointment in Seattle. Uhm, as for the exam, I think it went well but I guess we'll have to see. How about you?"

"Oh, just fine. I think I passed with flying colors. Anyway, I just wanted to ask you that and tell you that it is official that I'm moving to Seattle as well to work at Dad's company but since you have an apointment, I'll let you go." She was so excited.

For a while she wasn't sure if she'd work for her father because she wanted to start her career on her own, somewhere where she wouldn't have to fear being treated differently because of her last name but now that it was official I guess she was quite excited about it and rightfully so.

"Kate, that's amazing!" I told her, matching my excitement to hers. "We'll celebrate when I get back after the weekend, okay? I got to go. Bye."

"Bye, Ana."

I put my phone in my bag after she hung up and got out of the car. After locking the car, I walked into the lobby... straight into somebody's chest, spilling their coffee all over them.

As I looked up, I froze over as I looked into a pair of the most intense gray eyes I'd ever seen.

I think I just fell in love with his eyes alone.

Until I saw the anger in them.
