Every Action Has A Reaction

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, Stephenie Meyer does. But what I do own is this plot!

For those of you who are reading my fic 'Never Let You Go' - I am NOT abandoning the story I will update soon!

This is a short story I wanted to write, but I have another story in the works I mentioned and this is NOT it! thanks. x


They all warned me, pleaded with me even to stay away from him.

To stay away from Edward Cullen.

But I couldn't.

Everything about him drew me in.

His piercing green eyes.

His lucious red lips.

His tousled bronze hair.

Even the way he spoke! His soft melodic voice was one of many things that lured me in to his web of lies, if only I had known he was playing me all along.

If only I had listened to what they had all said about him.

I wish I did take in what they all told me.

If I had then I sure as hell wouldn't be in this situation right now.

If things hadn't turned out the way they did, right now I would have been sitting at the fireplace in the living room, reading my new collection of books I recieved last night from mum as a christmas present.

While I sat reading, Charlie would have been sitting on the couch watching the special christmas baseball game, while mum stayed away in the kitchen making a fresh batch of chocolate brownies.

The key words being 'would have'.

I would have done all of that, if not for the disastrous Christmas I had yesterday and no one was more to blame than me.

Although Edward had constructed this game from the word 'go', no one was more responsible for what had happened yesterday and the months that had led up to it than me.

Everyone else saw Edward for what he really was except for me.

All I saw was what Edward wanted me to see.

What I didn't see was the cold, calculated and manipulative 17 year old boy that hid under the 'good guy' act he had conjured up.

To me, Edward Cullen was the misunderstood typical 17 year old high school bad boy. That shied away from his loving and caring side, if only I had known there was no such side to Edward.

When practically pretty much the whole town on Forks warns you to steer clear of Edward Cullen, a normal sane person would do just that.

But not me, not Isabella Swan.

I clearly remember thinking everyone didn't want me to live a long happy and prosperous life.

It wasn't a secret that I didn't have much luck with boys, at school dances and parties I was the one who stayed in the dark corner of the room whilist I watched my class mates dance with each other and get drunk.

Most of them thought I felt too superior to socialize with them, far from it actually.

The key problem was this - I didn't belong with them, I just didn't fit in.

So when Edward Cullen turned up at the minuscule town of Fork and showed an intrest in yours truly, you couldn't really blame me for jumping in to his arms.

Edward made me feel as if I was the only thing that mattered to him, as if nothing else mattered than my happiness and at the time my happiness lied with him.

Not even my own parents made me feel as if I mattered.

You would have thought me being the only child and all that I would have been spoilt rotten, but I was anything but.

It's not that they didn't love me, because they did.

We were together at christmas and on other holidays, but besides that we didn't really see much of each other.

Charlie was always busy down at the station, as Chief Swan of Forks he was pretty much always on duty and Renee was always busy running the diner.

They were both too busy to notice their daughter wasn't happy.

But it's days like this where your alone you appreciate what you have.

Alone and homeless in the cold december winter, I wish I could turn back the clocks, go back to the day I met Edward and stayed as far away as I could.

But that wasn't possible.

What was done, is done and now I have to face the harsh reality of my actions.

'Every action has a reaction' was what my grandmother used to tell me. Some actions are for the better good and some actions change our lives in the worst way possible, but only we can determine what the reaction and the outcome will be.

Right now in my current predicament, it couldn't have been more obvious. Falling in to Edwards trap was by far the worst action I had taken, the worst reaction was that I was now left homeless and stranded in the middle of nowhere with only thirty dollars to my name.
