Twilight belongs to Stephanie Meyer

A/N so this is my first every FanFic, sorry it's so short but the chapters will get longer I promise

Chapter 1 – Adventures

I was rudely awoken by my dad's fist pounding on my bedroom door.

"Bella, Get up we're leaving"

I stretched and rolled over to look at the clock "5am" I groaned, I sluggishly pulled my feet out of bed and walked to the bathroom and got in the shower. The steamy hot water was working wonders on my sore shoulders. They were still sore from last Saturdays rock climbing, my mums idea, she thinks we need to do more adventures together as a family, I guess it's her way of distracting herself from how broken our family really is.

This weekends adventure we were hiking in the local woods, so not what I had planned for a Saturday especially when I would no doubt by in excruciating pain from the many trips and falls I would likely endure. I jumped out of the shower and walked to my bedroom.

While I was contemplating what to wear for the day my mother Renee bounded into my room, "you're not dressed yet? Come on Bella you know we need to do this, you could at least pretend to be excited" she said exasperated.

"It's hard to find anything exciting at 5am Renee" I said sarcastically.

"Well it wouldn't kill you to put in a little effort; you may actually have fun today"

I scoffed "yeah I bet"

"Just get dressed Bella, we're leaving in 10 minutes" Renee replied

"Good, the quicker we leave the quicker we'll be back home" I mumbled.

Renee sighed and walked out of my bedroom, leaving me to get dressed in peace. I settled for a long sleeve Navy sweater paired with jeans and my rain jacket, living in forks I never leave home with out it. As I pulled on my hiking boots I wondered to myself how long these family adventures would last. We'd been bike riding, fishing, horse riding as well as last weeks rock climbing. I can't believe I had survived it all with no serious injuries with my clumsy nature I was a danger magnet.

My Family hadn't always been so broken, I mean we had our problems but we were happy. I guess things changed when my Dad Charlie lost his job at the police station, he'd been involved in a hostage situation and he made a few wrong moves and his partner Roger was shot and killed. Charlie really beat himself up about it for months and he wasn't doing his job properly so he was fired, and told to go to counseling, which he never did, ever since then things were always tense. Renee had a job as a kindergarten teacher which she loved, which I think is because she gets to be out of the house and away from Charlie for 8 hours a day.

My Dads yelling broke my out of my thoughts, jeeze does he have any other volume levels or is it always yelling? I picked up my phone and quickly texted my best friend Rose.

Off to climb mountains with the "happy" family, if I don't text you in 12 hours call the ranger ive been eaten by a bear lol xx

I had told Rose all about my mother's antics; she finds it hilarious, especially when I come to school on Monday with bruises and aching muscles. After horse riding was the worst, I pulled my big red Chevy into the car park at school Monday morning and saw Rose waiting at our usual meeting place, I picked up my backpack and got out of my truck, groaning at my sore muscles and walked over to Rose. She was eyeing me skeptivley and then burst into hysterics "oh my god Bella, your walking like you have a canon up your arse" she cried while bending over laughing. I grimaced "well you would be too if you were on a horse for 4 hours" she giggled and wiped the tears from her eyes,

"That bad huh?"

"Rose it was torture. We get there and are given our horses which by the way my was named SATAN, and then it took me 10 minutes to get on the thing, then we get going and everything's going fine until we get to this valley and Satan decided it'd be fun to run down it, so he just took off down the mountain while im screaming like a mad man for him to stop, then at the bottom of the valley he abruptly stops and I went flying off the saddle into a pile of mud" I complained.

"Stop, Stop your killing me" Rose said between laughs

"Yeah it was real funny" I said sarcastically "when I finally got back on the horse he kept ramming me into trees I thought my legs were going to break off at one point"

Rose chuckled again, "what I would have paid to see that"

"Yeah it was a riot" I replied

"Only you would get a horse named Satan" Rose said smirking, The Bell rang and I sighed, "come on cowgirl, giddy up" she said laughing as she slapped my butt and ran towards homeroom.

I shook my head at the memory, as I grabbed my backpack id packed the night before; it had insect repellant, water spare socks and sunscreen as well as a first aid kit that would probably be well used on this trip. I trudged down the stairs into the kitchen and grabbed an apple and a granola bar which I stuffed in my bag, and made my way to the car where my parents were waiting.

"Here we go!" Renee exclaimed, I groaned inwardly, dreading today's adventure.

Why couldn't my parents just get divorced like normal people, I wouldn't care I was graduating high school in a few months and then I would go to college. They wouldn't need to pretend anymore, and then we may actually get along a bit better. Our life seemed so forced I'm afraid that if we keep pushing too hard everything's going to break, I sighed and looked out the window as Charlie backed out of the driveway.

A/N so what do you guys think?? Reviews would be appreciated?
