Prologue

APOV

My name is Alice Cullen I am seventeen years old and live in Forks Washington. I attend Forks High School where I am a senior and am dating the most perfect boy in the world Jasper Whitlock. This story however isn't about me; it's about one of my best friends Edward Mason.

I met Edward when I was four. His father had just died and his mother decided to move from Chicago back to Forks hoping that going back to where she grew up would help her cope with her husband's death. His mother Elizabeth and my mother Esme had been best friends in high school so of course we were pushed together when ever Elizabeth came to visit mom or mom went to visit her.

When we were twelve we met Tanya. She had just moved from Alaska. She was tall, gangly, with braces, and had frizzy strawberry blond hair. Edward fell for her as soon as he saw her. He asked her out and she said yes. Edward and Tanya went out for almost a year when she broke up with him.

In that year Tanya had changed. She had her braces taken off and her teeth were white and straight. She was no longer tall and gangly. She had filled out and now had curves in all the right places. She had gotten her hair under control and guys had started to notice her. She was no longer the sweet kind hearted girl we had known.

Despite all these changes Edward and Tanya remained friends because Edward still loved Tanya and in his eyes she could do no wrong. Tanya knew that Edward never stopped having feelings for her and as the years went by she used this to her advantage. Whenever she couldn't find a date to a dance Edward would take her. Whenever she was bored and had nothing to do all she had to do was call Edward and he would drop everything and take her to do whatever she wanted to do.

This made me angry because Edward was one of my best friends and I hated seeing her treat him this way. I hated the way she took advantage of him. But I had a plan that would change all that. My cousin Bella Swan was moving in with her father my uncle Charlie. I was going to do everything in my power to get them together. They would be perfect together I knew this for sure. I just couldn't let Tanya find out about the plan because even though she didn't ever plan on dating Edward she wouldn't stand for anyone trying to take away her second choice.

A/N: so what do you think? I have wanted to write this for awhile and I'm glad I'm finally getting to it I really hope you all like it.
