Some Friend

Okay, this is my first fanfiction so I'm just getting used to it. Anyway, I hope you enjoy and PLEASE review!

Prologue

What do you think are the things that make up a best friend? Loving? Caring? Always there for you? I think they are good things to look for in a friend, particularly a best friend. And Edward was like that. He was kind and compassionate, loving and a shoulder for me to cry on. We went through everything together, break ups, his parents' divorce, and my mother's death. Dreams and fears, nightmares and hopes, happiness and pain, we went through it hand in hand. Until that day. He betrayed me in the worst possible way, betrayed the friendship we had kept for our whole lives. Just because I was not the most popular person at Forks High school and Edward was. He always had the girls fawning over him, and of course it didn't help that he was gorgeous. It was only little things to start with. Pretending not to hear me when I called him to tell him about the seat I had saved him in the cafeteria. Saying he had other things to do when I invited him over at weekends. Not turning up in the mornings he was supposed to pick me up on. This had been going on for nearly a year before I finally snapped. Edward was supposed to wait for me after my gym class, and wait he did. But some of his friends waited with him. Tyler, Mike, Lauren, Jessica and some other people. Even Jacob, my father's best friend's son. He was like a brother to me. But that was before.

'Oh, look who it is,' Lauren jeered. 'Isabelle.' (Because Bella will be going to the same school, her name needs to change. Hope that makes sense :) )

'Hello, Lauren,' I sneered back. I was fed up with Lauren. She was all talk and nail polish, but never any brain.

'Oh? Take that tone with me why don't you,' she hissed.

I sidestepped around her. 'I would absolutely love to stay and chat, but I need to catch a ride with my best friend.'

Lauren looked at Edward, who was waiting by his car, before turning back to me.

'Hahaha, you almost had me fooled there. Edward, friends with you? Get real, as if Edward would be friends with someone like you,' she taunted.

And then I did something incredibly stupid. I laughed at her.

'Well, wannabe, he IS friends with me. So there,' I said, giggling still.

'HOW DARE YOU LAUGH AT ME?' Lauren screamed. I suddenly realised how empty the lot was. We were the only people left. 'Boys, get her!'

It dawned on me very quickly how stupid I had been. I had seen all the movies; girl gets cornered. Girl dies.

The first punch wasn't too hard, but soon they came thick and fast. Jessica pulled my hair really hard and I screamed out in pain. You know when people say, you can feel when you are going to die. That's what it felt like. I knew, unless they stopped soon, I would get killed. I only had one chance left.

'Edward!' I screamed. 'Help me!'

And he did nothing. He just stood there, watching with a blank expression. He could have been watching a film for all the emotion he was showing. I watched him through a dimming world, as he got in his car, and drove away.

My eyes flickered open. From the amazingly tense pain in my head and all over my body, I could tell I was still alive. I tried to sit up, but the pain was too much and I nearly fainted again. I moved my eyes around to see if anyone was there. But the lot was empty. And that wasn't all. The sky was darkening. Soon, I knew I would be dead. Nothing anyone could do would save me now. I had almost closed my eyes again when I saw a flash of gold. A girl appeared besides me, out of thin air, followed closely by a man.

'I am so sorry,' she whispered. She looked like she was crying, but no tears split onto her pearly cheeks. 'Carlisle, please, you have to help her!'

The blond man nodded his head and then turned to me.

'I'm so sorry, but I can help you escape death. You could become immortal, and live forever with my family and me. Just move your finger if you want to say yes.'

I moved my finger immediately.

'The price is three days of agony however; would you be willing to pay that price?'

I moved my finger again and he nodded once more.

'Alice, ring Esme please and tell her what it happening.'

The girl whipped out a small phone and had a quick conversation with 'Esme'. My attention was pulled back to the man. He took a deep breath, gave me a small smile, and bit down at my neck. Instantly fire shot through my veins. I screamed with pain and quickly toppled into darkness once more.

Well there it is! I hope you liked it. This is only the prologue; the rest of the chapters will be set in Bella and Edward's junior year. About ages . . . Bella is just seventeen (human years) and Edward is seventeen. When Bella is changed, she is only just seventeen. I think that is the best way for the ages to work. Anyway, we've already had two Cullens! Carlisle and Alice in case you didn't know. The Cullens have not yet moved to Forks, but they were going to move in a few weeks time. Now Bella is changing, they will put of moving for another year. Alice had a vision about Bella, so she and Carlisle rushed on ahead to try and save her. Anyway, I think that's it. Any question, send me a PM or just review! :) (It is that button down there, just click it!)
