She tries to forget her past, but it's not so easy especially when your past is affecting your future so much. A few years years later, when she is twenty-five, she runs into Edward and Alice. What will happen when her past catches up with her once again? Will she run away again? It there a limit to the number of times you can run away?

A/N: This in a way is my first fanfiction, because it's the first one I've posted up that I actually plan on finishing. Hope you like my story!

Preface

I ran. Ran as fast as my legs would take me.

I didn't know where I was going. Or what I was doing. I just ran. I drove myself further with every step I took.

Sometimes in life you do the unexpected. You do something you thought you would never do.

It can be big, or small. Good or bad.

In my case it was big and bad. Irresponsible and wrong.

I still couldn't figure out why I did it, or even how. Why I would do something so stupid that would mess up my life up forever?

And what bothered me most was the fact that I thought I knew myself. I thought and knew myself as a responsible person. Someone who would always know what they were doing, knowing that it was the right thing to do. Someone who wouldn't make such a mistake, a mistake that would change my life forever.

Guess I was wrong.

Wrong.

I ran faster now. Faster and harder. I tried to ignore the cramp I had in my stomach, and the pain in my leg.

But why was I running? It didn't make sense to me now that I looked back at it.

What was the point, when everything you were trying to run away from would catch up to you sooner or later. And when it did, it would hit you hard, throwing you backwards - lost and confused - exactly like it did to me.

A/N: I really don't know how long this author's note is going to end up, I'm just saying. I have a tendency to talk too much sometimes…

I would first like to say that this plotline probably has been done before, but I haven't plagiarized anyone's story. What they've written is theirs, and I would never do that to anyone. I have written this on my own, with my own ideas and writing.

This time I only posted the preface; next time I promise a first chapter. It's going to be a pretty long chapter I think, a bit longer than my usual chapters.

This story is going to have the regular pairings. I honestly like the pairings the way they are already. It's going to be Bella/Edward's story mostly, but there will be Alice/Jasper parts, showing their life, and Rosalie/Emmett too, because I like them too. (:

Any ideas you have are welcome, feel free to share them if you'd like through PM's or reviews. If you guys have constructive criticism for me, then you can feel free to tell me. I'd love to improve my writing to make my stories better. Oh and compliments are welcome too. ;)

That author's note wasn't as long as I expected… I've seen longer, lol.

I know this is just a preface, but do me a favor, make me happy and…

Please REVIEW!!!

If you do, I'll be super happy and you guys get faster update.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

Okay, I'm done now. =)
