I had just turned 18 years old & I thought I had everything all figured out; I mean doesn't every 18 year old believe they know everything?
I didnt have the greatest life growing up; it consisted of drugs, violence, divorce, he said she said arguments. Growing up with no self-esteem, i didnt like myself. I saw the world differently then my friends and family. I wanted to do important with my life, not knowing what my future held scared me to death. Ironic huh?. In my heart i knew i wouldnt find someone who loved me for me. At my lowest point i cut my wrist twice only to give up when i saw the blood; i now had to pale scars that remind me never give up. To represent that my friends Alice, Rosalie and i all had a tattoo done on our necks that says death is easy ~ peaceful, life is harder. It represents how far we have come in our friendship to eachother.
Alice Brandon and Rosalie Hale are my two greatest friends they pulled me out of the darkness that was consumed me, helping me to start living my life.
Alice was short like myself with black spikey hair & beautiful gray eyes; eyes that when you looked into them you saw how much she cares. She is full of boundless energy, dancing around excited over everything. I would never want her to change.
Now Rose on the other hand was the total opposite to alice. Rose was brutally honest to a fault, i loved her all the more for it, having been through so much herself she managed to come through with so much dignity, i was in complete awe of my friend.
We were all the same age only months apart, we liked the same things; singing, music, dancing(socially) & boys haha typical teenage stuff.
I Bella Swan unfortunately did not have a boyfriend, no-one was interested in me that way mainly as i was clumsy and shy. I guess you could not say i was not good looking, i had long wavy mahogany hair, deep brown eyes, slim body with womanly curves, downside was i was pale to the extent i looked washed out or sick, i also blushed dark pink when embaressed. Compared to Rose who was a goddes on two legs with golden blonde hair and blue eyes i looked completly average. She was beautiful & she knew it but it did not go to her head.
Both Alice and Rose had a boyfriend;
Alice was with Jasper Hale Rose's twin brother he was cute, with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. They had been together since we were 14, Alice believes they are soul mates. When you look at them together you could see the love they shared.
Rose was with Emmett Cullen he was huge, he played football and was very cute, no-one messed with Emmett, it was really funny that people were scared of Emmett as he was just like a big teddy bear, he had short curly brown (close to black) hair, dark eyes and killer dimples when smiled. Rose and Emmett were made for eachother as they liked to joke around and have heaps of fun, but mess with their friends, they both become fierce and loyal. Thats why I loved them so much they are the family i never really had.
The week started like any other boring. School was the same, sitting with my friends at lunch we were all laughing at the fact Mike Newton and Jess Stanley were caught making out in the janitors closet & they both got suspened. While we were sitting there Emmett received a phone call; laughter stopped, he went deadly pale tears forming in his eyes.
We all looked at him with worry, Rose wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tight and asked,
"Emmett whats the matter sweetheart?"
Emmett looked up with a haunted expression, sorrow deep in his eyes & replied,
" My aunt Carmen, unlce Elezar & my three cousins Tanya, Kate & Irina were killed in a road accident in Alaska this morning. Mum was calling me to tell me that my cousin Edward was here in Forks and needs me I have to go!"
With that he got up and ran out og the building. Our table was in shocked silence, Rose looked at us and said " I'm going to Emmett's are you guys coming? he will need us." We all nodded, jumped up and ran to Jaspers car, starting the 10 minute drive to Emmett's house. I looked to the sky and prayed to god that his family did not suffer when they passed & were in a happier place now.
