Author's Note: I own nothing but this very expensive computer that was required for school. I don't own the songs, artists, characters, yada, yada. Do you get the point?
Chapter One: Songs About Me
BPOV
My name is Bella Swan. I am 23 years old, and just graduated college with a degree in English Literature. I live with my three best friends in the world, Alice, Rosalie (or Rose if she likes you), and Angela. We live in Seattle in a nice apartment in a nice neighborhood. I am about 5'4" and average looking… Boring brown hair and eyes, pale skin; the girls tease me saying that I am paler than a vampire!
I grew up in Phoenix with my mom after she left my dad. I moved to Forks my junior year of high school after mom remarried. Her husband, Phil, is a baseball player and has to travel. Mom was unhappy staying at home while he traveled, so I sent myself to live with my dad. That's where I met Alice, Rose, and Angela and we have been inseparable ever since. Forks was also where we met Jacob, our self appointed "brother." Whenever we need to get rid of a guy, like that vile Mike Newton, Jacob swoops in and scares away the scum. Jacob works at Rose's garage as one of her top mechanics.
I have been working two jobs while finishing school and I am staying with them until my writing takes off. Angela works with me at the bookstore, and also has another job as a photographer for the local newspaper. She is trying to open her own business as a photographer. Alice has her own fashion boutique, and Rose owns a mechanic shop. Since we have all been so busy, we are planning on taking a month-long-group vacation; we just haven't decided where we want to go.
Angela and I have more in common with each other than we do with Rose or Alice, but we all get along amazingly. We think of each other as sisters, just from different parents.
None of us have boyfriends, we just haven't met anyone that is worth our time, and we have all been quite busy with our studies and businesses. I have a hard time when it comes to meeting guys, because as my mom puts it, "I was born thirty five years old and that I get more middle-aged every year." The guys my age just don't have the same interests I do. I know someday I will meet the man I'm meant to spend my life with, sometimes I just wish that time was sooner rather than later.

I'm Edward, Edward Cullen. I'm 28 years old, and have finally finished my residency. I live with my brothers Emmett and Jasper, and our buddy Ben. All four of us grew up together here in Chicago, and we have known Ben since grade school. Jasper's parents died in an accident when his mother was still pregnant with him. Both of his parents died in the accident, but they were able to save Jasper. My dad was on shift at the hospital and knew that he was all alone, so he called my mother. She drove to the hospital immediately and they started on the adoption process.
Emmet owns his own garage, Jasper is a psychiatrist, and Ben is an accountant. Our parents moved a few years ago to a very small town in Washington, and Ben's family moved to Florida about the same time our parents moved, so we have been looking at relocating. Emmett is currently working with someone that wants to buy his garage, so that is all we are waiting on. The rest of us have job offers in several different places, but I think we would all prefer moving to Seattle to be close to my parents.
Before we accept jobs anywhere, we all want to take a nice vacation. Some of our vacation will be spent in Florida with Ben's parents, and I have an interview at University of Florida & Shands hospital in Jacksonville. The rest of our vacation will be spent with my parents and I have two interviews there, one at Swedish/Ballard and the other at Northwest. All three interviews are for positions in the Emergency Department.
End Note: What do you think? I have several chapters written in hopes that I can update often, but I am in school so we'll see what happens!
