Bella POV

Today is my first day of senior year. I wasn't exactly unexcited, exactly. Sure, it'd be nice to finally be done with highschool come this summer. However at the same time it meant that I'd still have to wait until graduation for something I've wanted ever since I moved to this depressing little town of Forks, Washington.

I was actually waiting for the main reason why I still put up sloshing through the rainy sidewalks in knee-high rain boots day after day, to come by and pick us up for our last year in highschool. Well, sort of, at that. Edward Cullen has had many senior years of highschool, so this wasn't anything new to him. Edward Cullen, my Edward Cullen was a vampire. Vampire. It was sometimes so surreal, yet so brilliant. I loved him with all of my heart, and somehow he loved me just as much back.

I hadn't realized I'd drifted off for a good ten minutes at the kitchen table over my bowl of cereal thinking mainly about Edward. I heard his Volvo pull in, and ignored Charlie, my father's, stare as he watched me looking out into nowhere, reminiscing about Edward and myself.

"Oh," I said quickly, grabbing my light sweater off of the back of my chair, and dumping my bowl into the sink upon hearing a knock on the door, obviously it was Edward.

"Bye, Dad," I said, reaching down to my father who was sitting at the table eating his own bowl of cereal I had prepared for him soon before I sat down with mine, and placed a quick kiss on his cheek, and darted for the door, "I'll see you after work," I said, and ran to the door, sliding on the light blue sweater.

"See you later, Bells," Charlie said, beginning to get up from his breakfast, and then saw Edward at the front door and decided not to.

My heart always fluttered whenever he walked into the room. I forgot to breathe for a moment there, until he decided to break the anything but awkward silence, "Ready to get going?" Edward's clear and strong voice announced, "You look beautiful," he smiled gently in my direction.

"Ah, yes," I said, remembering to inhale, as I walked out the front door, and before closing it bid Charlie one last goodbye, and with that, Edward and I, as well as Alice, Edward's sister who was in our grade as well, who was already in the backseat of the car, waiting for us, were on our way to Forks Highschool.

Edward had tree other siblings, as well, Rosalie and Emmett, however as far as anyone else in Forks were concerned they were far off at college, when truth be told they were on what could have very well been their fiftieth honeymoon. And then there was Jasper who was Alice's soul mate. He was somewhere off trying to kill time, probably by hunting or sitting back at the house, before he could get to see Alice again. All three were known to be attending colleges out of state, but I knew better.

Forks Highschool. An education establishment with a population of about two hundred or so kids. It was a huge change from my school in Phoenix, but I've grown accustomed to inhabiting a smaller town.

"Excited to start your first first day of senior year, Bella?" Alice questioned excitedly, ambitious to see what I'd make of it.

"I guess," I said, still in a slight daze by Edward's very presence.

I could feel Alice roll her eyes at us, but I ignored her. She decided to let any thought of talking to either one of us go for now, considering she could probably see very clearly that in her near future that a civil conversation just wasn't going to happen right now. It had been too long since I'd been around Edward and I needed my dosage to catch up with what I've missed. It'd been a solid weekend. He decided to go hunting the weekend before so he wouldn't look beautifully frightening at school.

Edward so kindly opened the passenger side door for me once we arrived. It sometimes got under my skin whenever he treated me like I was completely helpless, though as of lately, I've just ignored it and let him do whatever he wanted to be happy. If he was happy, then so was I, and if doing things like holding open doors for me did it for him, then who was I to deny him of his fun?

After nearly passing out from a panic attack as he drove nearly one hundred miles per hour, we finally arrived at the school. You would think that by now I'd be used to his manic driving. I was clutching for life on the seat belt, trying to be discreet about it, however nothing got past Edward.

"I really wish you'd relax, I would never let anything happen to you," Edward said encouragingly, reaching over to place a small cool kiss on my forehead. The touch of his lips against my skin caused my heart to race even faster than it already was.

"I am relaxed," I lied quickly. Edward had to have known I was fibbing, but let it go. Again, he exited the car and before I could even unbuckle my seatbelt, he was on the other side opening my door for me, my things, as well as his, gracefully in his hands.

"Thank you," I said taking my book bag from him, as he nodded and took my hand.

We walked into the cafeteria where schedules were listed, and it just so happened that Edward and I had four out of six classes together. Go figure, huh? Edward claimed that it was a pure coincidence, though I was sure he flaunted what he had to impress some guidance counselors to give him the same schedule as me. To that, I didn't object.

The first day of school was extremely boring. It was the same old, same old. All day the same rules and expectations were being thrown around. I was relieved when the final bell rang and I could have some alone time with Edward again.

"So, Edward," I said sweetly, "Since it's kinda sorta almost my birthday..." I began rocking back and forth on the balls of my feet as he eyed me curiously, knowing my birthday wasn't for another week and a half, "I was wondering if I could drive us home," I said, not in the mood to feel faint anymore making the short drive from school to either one of our houses that much shorter.

"Fine," Alice said, having that look on her face that told me she was having a vision as to what the future held, probably for Edward and I. "I'll run home, then," she said with a small wink, knowing I had no idea what she was talking about, though it was clear Edward did, considering his grateful expression towards his playful sister.

Edward had no objections to me driving and nodded, heading over to the passenger side door, meeting me to hand over the keys, "Of course, Bella," He said, dropping the keys into my hands. He seemed slightly hesitant, but hey, why should he be? I had a good record with driving. I've never gotten a ticket, at least!

I opened the door for him this time, and climbed into the driver's seat, turning the key into the ignition and began slowly heading out of the parking lot of the school, waiting for everyone else to pile out.

Once I was out on the road, a short five minutes later, I relaxed some more, "Your house or mine?" I questioned driving cautiously through Forks.

"How about we go on a little adventure," he smirked adorably. "We could go to the meadow and spend some time there alone," he said, "No offense, but privacy is pretty scarce at both of our homes," Edward acknowledged.

I agreed quickly and began to speed about five miles of the speed limit. That was as far as I could go. "Perfect," I nodded, and began heading towards the trail that led us to the meadow. When Edward drove, it was usually a five minute drive, however now that I was, it would probably be only a half hour.

The rain began to pick up once we were about half way there, as I turned into the forest. Trees were scattered frequently as I drove on, wanting the travel Edward would have to get us both through as short as possible.

I began to slow down some, the rain making it difficult to see. The windshield wipers were zooming back and forth in front of the window. It was nearly impossible to see.

Then all of a sudden, a deer, or what looked like a deer shot out in the middle of the driving trail, and that was when I lost control of the wheel, trying to swerve away from the poor creature.

"Oh, my!" I shrieked loudly, making a sharp turn so fast that even Edward wasn't able to stop. And within seconds, the car was overturned and all I could see or hear was rain patting against the ground loudly, and a short moment or two later, everything went black, and there wasn't a sound that could be heard.
