Chapter 1.

Grace POV.

I lay on my bed, looking out my window to the stars. I could feel my cat curled up by my feet, as I continued eating my Haribo. My door opened, and my mum walked in.

"Ah, good. You've unpacked everything. Now you can go help your brother unpack the kitchen things." I groaned as I rolled over and threw my legs off my bed.

As I walked out of my door, I heard my cat, Barney, jump off of my bed and follow me downstairs to the kitchen. He gracefully jumped up onto the side and settled onto my old jumper, as I walked over to my brother.

"Luke, mum told me I have to help. Give me something to do." I said, as I stood next to him, looking up slightly.

Luke stood at 6 foot 2 tall, he had tanned skin and short black hair. Just like our dad. I was more like mum; 5"7', skinny and had long red hair that was so dark it was almost black. People had always said that our family was complete, as my parents each had a 'mini-me'.

"Okay sis. Grab that box over there and get emptying. Oh, and follow mums diagram exactly; I put the forks in the wrong place before and she went skitz." Laughed my brother.

Our mum liked her house to be perfectly neat and tidy, with everything in its right place. I had gotten that from her. Luke turned up the music, and we go to work.

I woke up in the morning, blinded by the light that was shining through my windows. I jumped up and turned my alarm clock off, making a mental note to get some decent curtains. Sleepily, I wandered down stairs, already dreading today. Luke and I were starting at the local school today.

"Watch out Forks High- the Beast is here!" mocked Luke as I walked into the kitchen and collapsed at the table. I couldn't deal with early mornings or lack of sleep- both things I got from dad. It didn't help that I was still jet lagged, but my mum had been convinced that we should start school straight away. Apparently she wanted us to have normality.

"I can't even remember normality." I mumbled.

"I know sis. But we'll find it, trust me. Meanwhile, drink this tea, then get dressed and I'll make breakfast. Bacon and eggs sound good?" Luke suggested. He was always annoyingly chipper in the mornings.

I slowly looked up to the cup in front of me, my favourite cup. Dad had brought it for me when Luke pushed me in a pond 6 six years ago. It was tall, with multicoloured strips on it, and a big smiley face. I hadn't used this cup for almost a year now.

"Drink up sis." Luke said as he pushed it closer to me. "You were going to have to use it again some time."

I took a sip and felt instantly better. Downing the tea, I stood up and reminded Luke that he had promised me breakfast. Then ran upstairs to have a quick shower and get dressed. I choose a simple black top with jeans and raced back downstairs to the smell of my breakfast.

"Luke, where's mum?"

"Already gone. She wanted to make a good impression, but by the way she was blushing I reckon there are some good looking doctors at Fork's Hospital."

I grimaced. The thought of mum with another man still didn't seem right to me.

I stepped out of Luke's car and grabbed my bag whilst Luke walked around to me. He nudged me and nodded over to two cars- a big yellow jeep and a shiny silver Volvo. I knew what he was going to say, the little Nissan Micra we had rolled up in was definitely the worst car here. Slowly, we made our way to the Office to get our timetables and slips for the teachers to sign. I had English first, while Luke had Physics.

We both knew that we had no classes together, as Luke was a senior, and I was only a junior. In our old school in England it had been handy having my brother as one of the oldest in his year, as I was one of the youngest in mine. I was only a day or so away from being in the year below.

I had made my way to English now, and had chosen a seat at the very back to sit in, as all the others were taken. The girl sitting next to me swivelled in her chair to face me.

"Hi! I'm Renesmee, but call me Nessie. I know Renesmee is a mouthful, honestly I don't know what my mum was on when she named me that. Not that I don't like it, I love it! It's an amazing name!" she paused for breath. "See I'm named after my two Grandma's- Renee and Esme. My mum just kinda smushed them together. Oh God! Look at me! I haven't let you say anything! I swear my Aunt Alice is having more of an effect on me then I thought!" She laughed, and her bronze hair bounced. I laughed along, she reminded me of what I used to be like.

"Hi, Nessie. I'm Grace, Grace Dimon."

"Oh, you're the new girl. Thank God! I'm so glad I'm not the new girl anymore! That was hell! But don't worry, I'll help you through it!" She promised me.

And she did. The whole day. Turns out we had all classes together, and at lunch she promised to help me find a job after school. She even tried to get me to join her and her family at their table, but I was eating with Luke, especially as I now didn't need a lift.

Nessie and I were walking through town now, towards a cafe that had a vacancy for a waitress. Nessie wished me good luck and told me to meet her and her boyfriend outside after my interview. I walked to the counter and told the woman behind it my name, and that I had an interview.

She was a petite woman, about 30 and very blonde. We walked through to the back, and sat down in a small office.

"So, tell me a little about yourself. Obviously I know all about the birthday, and boring interview things like that, but I want to know about you." She said, before hastily adding, "I'm Debbie by the way."

"Ok, well my name's Grace Dimon, I've only just moved here. I was living in the UK before, that was where I was born. My mum decided to move us here after she got offered a new job at the Hospital here. I have an older brother called Luke. I have a cat called Barney, and I'm an obsessive cleaner sometimes. I, er, don't really know what else to say." I replied.

"You mentioned your brother and mum, what about your dad? Did he like that you had to move?" she asked, completely innocently.

I froze. Sadness swept over me, and I had to try with everything I had to not cry. I wondered what Dad would have thought of our moving, I don't think he would've liked it. I snapped out of my thinking, realising that Debbie was still waiting for an answer.

"My dad d- died." I mumbled.

"Oh! I am so sorry! Forget I said anything!" she quickly said.

For a moment we sat in an awkward silence. I couldn't stop myself from thinking about Dad now, even though I was trying.

"So, can you start tomorrow, Grace?" She asked me.

"Wha- Er, yeah!" I replied, stunned.

"Great. I'll see you here tomorrow then, and we can go over when you can do shifts around you schooling, ok?" she asked me.

"Yeah. That sounds great, thank you so much." I gushed.

"Good, so I'll see you tomorrow. Oh, and I'm Debbie by the way." She said as we got up and walked out of the room.

"Er, yeah. You said before." I laughed a little.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm a little forgetful, trust me, you'll soon learn to ignore it." She laughed back.

I ran outside, and over to Nessie, who stood up immediately asking me how it went.

"I got it! I got the job! Oh, thank you! Thank you so much, Nessie!" I gushed.

"No worries, Grace. I'm so happy for you!"She hugged me tight and the pulled me down to sit next to her. "Grace, this is Jacob, my boyfriend. Jake this is Grace."

My mouth dropped, this guy is huge! Nessie already looked petite, but next to him she must look about two inches tall. I quickly snapped my mouth shut, and waved a little.

"And this is Seth, Seth this is Grace." Nessie finished.

I tore my eyes off of Jacob, still trying to wrap my head around how big he was. I looked over to see who she had introduced me to. As soon as I saw him, the whole world fell away.

So, there we go. The start of a new fic, I hope you like it!
