"I'm Holding Out for a Hero"

Chapter 1- Bella Swan

My name is Bella Swan and ever since high school I've considered myself "emotionally unavailable". I can't seem to let a man in, to give him my heart, to let myself go. Jacob was a lesson learned. I gave that relationship my very best and in the end my best simply, wasn't enough. I walked in on Jacob in bed with another girl. That sums up senior year. After that, I couldn't seem to get back on my feet. When a man swears left and right he'll never hurt you, you start to trust him. I did just that. I believed every word he spoke to me and I was so stupid to let him feed me lines. I was so stupid for believing I was worth someone's wile. Me? Beautiful? Never. It took me quite a few months before I could see things that reminded me of him and not cry, block out the relentless calls from him, become numb to pain.

I'm past that though and I'm done with boys. I'm shunned by my sisters everytime I tell them that. Rosaline and Alice are my polar opposites. Their beautiful, fashionable and fun. They know how to flirt without bumbling their words. They know how to seduce a man. Me on the other hand, I'm ugly, my fashion sense isn't bad. But you know what they say, no matter how much you dress up a pig, their still a pig. In my case, I was ugly no matter how fashionable I looked. As for the whole flirting, seducing deal... I've never even had sex with a man before and whatever men I do attract, I scare away when I talk. I'm a hot mess.

I'm pushing all my troubles behind me today though because, I am going to see the New England Patriots play with my sisters! I don't like football much but, I'm going with them just so we can spend quality time together. They don't really like football either but, Edward Cullen is why their going. He's the Patriots quarterback. Women swoon over him. I don't see it but, hey, its my sisters, its girl time. What could go wrong?
