Chapter one
"Are you sure you wanna go?" I remember hearing all this before, when I moved to Forks just a couple years ago. So many things happened in those few years too. Forks is where I met my boyfriend, Edward Cullen, or as he likes to call me, his fiancé. But going away this time is different than before. This time I'm going away for college. A scary thought for my father, Charlie. Charlie has been through a lot with me being around, and I'd like to hope it's all worth it in the end. "I'll be fine dad, I promise," I said. I am just at the airport about ready to leave for the University of Alaska.
"If you wanna come home, my house is always open," Charlie said as I was about to get on the plane. I had bigger worries than my trip to college. For one, Victoria was still out there, thirsty for my blood. Edward was not letting me out of his sight till they find her. The Volturi was another. Edward was another problem. He will only change me into one of them under one condition. I get married to him first. But that is only a small worry of mine. "Dad, I said I was fine. But thanks for the offer," I replied. I hope he didn't realize I was distracted. When I got onto the plane, I searched for that one person I wanted to see the most. Edward. As I scanned the plane, I finally found him. I'm still not used to his gorgeous looks. He's absolutely breathtaking. When he spotted me, he cracked that crooked smile I love so much. I forgot to breath. I caught my breath and took the seat next to him. I smiled and said, "Hi, Edward." He must have read my nervous expression. "Bella, don't worry. I'll be with you," he replied. I took a deep breath and said, "I know, college is just a little intimidating." I haven't been this nervous since my first day at [[forks high school?. As the plane took off, I tried to sleep, but it was impossible with Edward right there. I always feel like I should be awake all the time he was there with me, in case he decides to go away again. But he's told me time and time again that he will never leave without me. I hope that's true.
It seemed like forever that we were on the plane. Edward and I didn't really talk much, but when we did it was short. For the last couple of days now I've been trying to convince him that I needed to talk to Jake. He wouldn't hear anything of it. "It's not safe, I can't protect you if you go over on there land," he kept telling me, and at this point in the conversation I would start to get frustrated. "I can take care of myself. Besides Jake really needs me, I'm his friend. Or at least I was." That last sentence stung coming out of my throat. I didn't like thinking Jake and I weren't friends anymore. And when Edward changes me into a vampire, I'm scared to know what will happen to our friendship. No, I can't think of that now.
The plane landed and Edward helped me unload my things. We rented a car and headed over to the school campus. As I found my dorm, Edward was out getting familiar to the grounds. I was one of the lucky ones to get a private dorm. I started unpacking my things, and as I was a letter fell out. I opened it slowly, wondering who it was from and why they hid it between my clothes. I read it slowly to myself, "I will miss you, be safe. I'm still friends with you. Or at least I'll try to be. Jake." Then just as I finished reading it, there was a knock at the door.
