Prologue
My name is Bella Swan and I am undeniably in love with my best friend and big teddy bear,Emmett Cullen. He could never love me the way I love him I am lucky I have my friends, my Dad, my books, and I love someone with all my heart even if he doesn't love me back.
I live in a small town called Forks in Washington State, with my dad Charlie and have since my parents divorced. My Mom moved to Phoenix because she missed the sun. When she gets settled with my Stepdad, she asked me to come live with her. But I just couldn't, I love little rainy Forks and I would miss my Dad to much. Plus my Dad really needs me. Without me he would be all alone, and I am pretty convinced he would starve if I left him to his own devices.
But the one reason that I was barely able to admit to myself was,I couldn't bear to be away from Emmett. He is a truly amazing person who would do anything for his friends and family. Especially his brother Edward, sister Alice,and best friends, Jasper, Rosalie, and myself.
We have all been friends since we met in kindergarten.
Flashback
It was the first day of kindergarten and Mommy let me pick out my own dress,so I chose my favorite one. It was light blue and had brown stripes on the skirt. I loved that dress because my Daddy bought it for me for my birthday. So when I got to school and meet my teacher, Ms. Michelle, she said I had a very pretty dress and then sent into the classroom to play with the other kids.
Mommy tried to come with me but I said "I'm OK Mommy, I'm a big girl." She looked at me with tears and I wondered why me being a big girl made her sad. So looking up at her,I asked "Momma why are you sad?" And she said that her tears were happy tears not sad ones so I gave her a hug and kiss, and ran to play with the other kids.
As soon as I walked up to a group of kids this girl named Lauren said that I was too ugly to talk to her and to get away. My eyes started to tear up, and I tried to run away but when I turned around I tripped on a toy someone left on the floor. Lauren and another girl, Jessica, started to laugh at me and call me names.I was so hurt,I didn't know what I did to make them be mean to me. Mommy and Daddy said I was beautiful in my dress. Was that not true?!
When I started to get up,there was hand in front of me. He was a big kid,not like adult big but still big. He picked me up and asked if I was OK. I told him I was, then he took a tissue and dried the tears off my face, and told me I was pretty. He asked me my name and told me his was Emmett...Emmett Cullen.
To be honest this boy scared me at first because he was so big and kind of scary looking. But,I soon found out, he was just like a big teddy bear. Then he introduced his brother, sister and two friends.
I liked Edward,Alice,Rosalie,and Jasper very much, but Emmett was going to be my best friend. I just knew he would be!
I asked him if I could call him Emmy Bear and he said that I could. But then he said," IF you get to call me Emmy Bear, can I call you Jelly Belly?" I giggled and said, "Yes you can, Emmy Bear." He asked why I was giggling and I told him that was my favorite candy EVER.
Everyone laughed in our little day and every day since we have all been the best of friends.
