Hoy! this was inspired by two Yellowcard songs that kinda summarizes the whole story in order with the story: Ocean Avenue, Shadows and Regrets! Hope you like it, I'm not really sure if its a good idea or not but oh well! OH and this bit is just the background the main story starts in the next chapter

6 Years old

I turned my head, giggling the whole time, to see how close behind me he was. I could feel the wet grass between my toes and the wind whipping in my hair. My heart was banging in my ears and my gasping for breath came between the laughter. I knew he would be gaining on me, he always won. I turned again, quickly, and he was right there, within touching distance. I panicked; I didn't want to be caught yet. And then my heart lurched as the ground sawed up to meet me. I through out my hands to catch myself and my knee scarped along the ground. I tumbled over and landed in a heap on the floor. I could feel the stinging sensation and knew I had a graze. I pulled my knee up to look. The skin was scarped off and blood was oozing out very slightly. My vision blurred with tears.

"Bella" his shocked voice called. He sat down next to me to look.

"Oh no, what have you done now? Eww it's bleeding. Come on, I'll help you up. Mum will fix it."

I sobbed quietly as he put his arm around me to lift me off the ground.

"Thank you doctor Edward" I said with half a smile. He grinned at me.

"I nearly had you, before you fell."

"Nuhu, I was miles ahead." I told him without any real conviction.

"Yea, I was so wining."

"No"

"Yea"

"No"

"Yea!"

"Kids? What happened" Edwards mother was standing in the doorway.

"Bella fell, again."

"Humph"

"Oh sweetie, let me see – its okay, just a scratch. I'll get a plaster."

9 years old

I stood looking up at the tree. I could see where I wanted to go but I just wasn't going to make it. I sighed; it was worth a try at least and if I didn't I would never hear the end of it. I stretched up onto my tiptoes and reached my arms upwards to grab a low hanging branch. I placed one foot on the tree trunk and started to climb.

"Come on, your so slow." Edward yelled down to me.

"I'm doing my best" I shouted back, slightly irritated. "In case you haven't noticed I'm not very good at this kind of thing, you could help me, you know."

I knew he would be rolling his eyes and I looked up to see how close I was to him now. I only had one more branch and then I would be next to him, sat on the branch. As I looked up I saw his bright green eyes watching me, humour deep inside them. He thought this was funny! At that moment my foot slipped and I wobbled, sliding a bit down the trunk. His hand shot out to grab mine and pull me up the last few meters so I was sat on the branch with him.

"That was close; we don't want another broken arm." Edward said grinning at me.

"Well whose stupid idea was it to come up here anyway."

"I wanted to show you the garden from my favourite place." He stated simply.

"I've seen your garden a million times."

"But not from here."

I sighed and looked around. It really was beautiful, until I wobbled and the fresh rain on the leaves fell down onto us.

"Come on, I've seen it now, please can we get down before one of us dies."

"Okay, since it will probably be you, as you have some balance issues."

"Hey!" I said frowning as I hit him on the arm, which caused me to over balance and tip forward. Edwards arm grabbed me.

"Come on then."

13 years old

I sat down with the bowl in my lap. Edward sat next to me. Picking up the remote and starting the film. I placed the bowl between us and turned my attention to the film.

Every few minutes I'd delve my hand in and taking out a handful of popcorn. I crunched my way through, completely absorbed in the movie. I could hear Edward next to me, munching away.

Half way through I reached over into the bowl and placed my hand on top of Edwards. I looked over slowly at him and he was gazing right back at me. We didn't move. Then as if on queue we both pulled our hands back, silence filled the room, and then noise exploded out of the speakers as the main action of the film kicked into life. We both jumped.

I started at the screen, feeling very uncomfortable. Then an idea suddenly hit me. I had one piece of popcorn still clutched in my clammy palm. I through it sideways and watched out the corner of my eye as it sailed over and hit Edward square in the head.

He didn't move for a whole second.

Then his hand flashed out and grabbed a handful before chucking it at me. Seconds later we where in a full on war and resistances was futile. Laughter and popcorn filled the air.

"What is going on?!"

15 years old

I stood looking at the clouds hovering above in the sky. Tears rolled down my cheeks, I couldn't stop them. They where betraying my really feelings. How could he do this to me? I trusted him completely. Was it right for him to make me feel like this? I wanted to scream! How could he have so much power over me? Who was he to make me feel worthless? The tears began coming thick and fast. I crumpled to my knees and sobbed.

"Bella" I heard whispered behind me. My heart stopped and my hands began to tremble.

"Oh Bella, I'm so sorry." He said as he sat down next to me. "I didn't mean any of it. I promise." He reached his hand out to touch mine. And just as his fingertips brushed mine I felt the first drop of rain. I couldn't look at him; I just stared off into space.

"How can I make it up to you?" Edward pleaded with me.

That was just it, how could he? He has humiliated me in front of everyone but all I wanted was him to hold me close and tell me it would be fine, that none of it mattered. I was so confused. I didn't know what was going on, how I felt or what I should be feeling. I finally turned my head to him and looked him straight in the eye. We gazed at each other, not saying a word. I wanted to tell him exactly how I felt but the words wouldn't come. Probably because I didn't know myself. Maybe my eyes told him what I could not because the next think I knew Edwards lips where against mine. We broke apart and I smiled at him and whispered "about time."

OKay so the next bit will be the story please review if you think i should carry on!
