Prologue
I never gave death much thought, let alone let myself worry about. Why should I have its not like I was going to die soon anyways, I had my whole life ahead of me. Well now I was about to find out, or so I thought, was I really going to die or was I getting ever lasting life? And would I have get to spend eternity with someone whom I loved or not. Common man didn't I get a say in any of this, I guess not.

Chapter 1

"Smile," crowed the dark haired photographer yet again as I was situated into a new pose. "Yes, yes that's it. Fabulous darling." he said with his English accent as he clucked his tongue. Sighing I was made to put on a pouty face as the camera flashed again temporarily blinding me. Staggering I was given a break, so grabbing a bottle of water and a carrot stick, for that's all they had, I went to sit down on a couch. Flopping down I rubbed my numbing legs. It wasn't my choice to do this, it was my step mother. Oh yes I was a poor lost soul of a child all due to the unfairness of divorce. I wish, no my mother had died three months ago and I was currently living with my step mother who resided in forks. The most dreary and rainy place ever but I didn't mind I loved the rain. There my life changed for better or worse I will never know, but right now I had to have this photo shoot and then I was to go back to my aunt's house in the north to pack up the rest of my stuff. I was called back again, then after several more pictures where taken I was finally released only to find my step mother Therese there.

"Oh Olivia you were lovely, now off to your singing lessons." she gushed as she latched onto my arm and dragging my out of the building and to her new BMW. Then getting in we speed off towards the other side of the city. Stopping in front of the red bricked building that i had come to hate I was ushered inside into a white walled room. A music stand sat in one corner with a big black plush chair where my evil teacher sat.

"Olivia, so glad you decided to come yet again," nodding silently I went over to take my place." you'll be doing a song by Kelly Clarkson today darling. I just can't get over the fact of how nice your voice is." as I got ready by doing my scales he continued to babble on and on about my good looks and voice oh and last to come my excellent grades. 90 or higher was what was expected of me and if it wasn't that well there was going to be a big punishment for that. Thank goodness things came naturally to me I thought as I finished the last of the scales." okay no that your warmed up, he may start." commanded the little old man as he went back to his char to sip his coffee. Starting I glanced at the title and saw it was Because Of You:

"Because Of You"

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

Pausing to catch my breathe I noticed him staring at me with his little mouth open in surprise" beautiful" he whispered as he stopped the tape I hadn't noticed him holding. "Absolutely wonderful. I think we are done for today" nodding dumbly I walked out only to find ten or so people listening, turning bright red I rushed past them and pulled my cell phone out. "Um Theresa can you pick me up I'm done. Please" I asked as kindly as I could then with a quick yes she was there minutes later.

Looking out of the window of the plane I relaxed as the familiar icy fields of the north came up to great my with biting cold winds. The plane lurched slightly then with a thud we landed safely on the ground. Stumbling off I went to the doors and hailed a cab. On my way to my aunt's home I felt my heart throb as I remembered the day I found out about my parents divorce. My mother's heart had been crushed and deep down I knew I blamed my father for her death. But it wasn't his fault she had cancer and never told me though I saw all the signs I didn't expect her to leave me so soon. And then to top it all off my father got married the day after. he didn't care about me but he was the only relative I had other then my aunt but her health was starting to fail her to and i t bothered me to be leaving her.

I packed at a slow pace as me and my aunt Caroline talked, and making our promises to visit we bid each other good bye. I went to my waiting cab and she back into her house. Waving from the open window I called out to here to call me if she needed anything even a shoulder to cry on and I would be there. My thought was sincere but I knew she would never do it. So sighing I leaned back against the seat and closed my eyes to help calm my heavy heart.

A few hours later I was made to endure the most difficult task of all. An hour drive to forks with my new step mother. I had argued tat she needn't be bothered with having to pick me up, but as I sat there in her perfumed care gagging to myself everyone could tell I had lost that fight. She wasn't my mother so it wasn't like I was obliged to love her like a guardian right? Or wrong? I asked myself as I cranked up the music innocently to drown her out.

The rain pelted against the glass as we continue down the high way. I didn't even bother to look out the window cause what was there to see other then rain. Uh nothing. I already felt trapped but that was just because I was in a small perfumed car, with a women I hated and I couldn't even open a window, let alone turn on the music. So here I was in the rainiest places on earth and I was trapped with a monster. Tuning her out I focused on trying to get to sleep but decided against it because I was too cranky to have to explain to her I had just stayed up for 48 hours straight almost. So sighing I went back to listening to her rattle on about how much fun we were going to have, and how we were just going to be the best friends. I knew when I first met her that she was a nightmare from hell. A living Barbie doll. Someone I knew I wouldn't be able to stand to have a 2 hour class with let alone stay with till I could move out and go to college or university.

Breathing deeply through my mouth I noticed we were slowing down. "Are we there yet," I asked looking up from my book and I-pod that I had thankfully found in time before I went crazy.

"No, were just getting within town limits." she said turning slightly to stare at me. "What are you listening to?" shrugging I decided to tell her.

"uh its this Korean band that me and my mom went to see, its w-inds, but I also have this other band se7en and a few others." staring at me in horror she made a grab for my arm but I pulled back quickly tucking it across my chest tightly.

"Oh I see," she said trying to cover up for her action. "What else do you listen to?"

"Jazz, classical, pop, rock, heavy metal, uh oh yah and sometimes country." I mumbled unsure how to answer her prying questions. Looking at me blankly she turned back to the road just in time to slam on her breaks sending me flying forward. My reddy brown hair flew in front of my face making me cough as it went into my mouth.

"Sorry," she apologized just as I shoved her down the glass cracked making it spider web but not burst. "What was that," she was starting to yell so I covered her mouth with one of my long pale slim fingered hands making her shut up.
