A/N: sorry I know that wasn't such a preface but what ever.

Disclaimer: I don't own twilight what do want me to do? Anyone who has the best idea gets to be mentioned in the story. :)

Wow. I thought to myself as I saw my new house. It was huge. Not really fancy, but not bad either. It was a little smaller then the house I lived in with my parents.

I sighed

My parents dropped me off at an orphanage when I was eight. Only four years ago. Could it be so little time ago? My parents love me very much but couldn't take care of me for reasons they couldn't say. All they said was that someone was after them and they didn't me to get hurt. I asked if they could at least write to me. My mom said it would put me in t much danger so she gave me something else instead. She knows I love to read so she gave me a note to read every night. I still do.

"Jade

Our brown-eyed girl. Our gift from the heavens. Our baby girl that grows too fast. We love you. We wish everything was how it used to be. We wish we could hold you in our arms again and know you're safe. Your what makes us smile every morning when we see your awake and happy. You gave your mother joy again after what happened to your sister. We'll miss you. That beautiful long brown hair, those chocolate brown eyes, those beautiful big red lips, those always pink cheeks. We'll miss it all. We love you. Always remember that.

Always,

Mama and Daddy"

I started tearing up. I haven't actually cried since my parents left. I was taught to always be strong. I try hard, but I do let a few tears escape. It helps when I'm try7ing to hold most of them in.

I carried my bags into the house from the nuns car. The orphanage was overflowing so they raised money for me to get my own place.

I was pretty excited. I won a scholarship so I could go to school again. Some very kind people donated some books. I have two Shakespeare books, one book from the "House of Night" series, a book called "The Host", and the "Twilight Saga".

I love books. When I read, its like I'm in another world. My favorite books are about forbidden love. I wonder if something interesting like that will happen to me.

"Well, that's the last of your bags."

"Oh! Thank you Sister Ann." I told my favorite Sister.

Her eyes started to water but didn't overflow. I guess that's how people are when you live in an orphanage in New York City.

"I'm really going to miss you Jade."

"I'll miss you too Sister Ann."

"Well…God bless you for your new life."

"God bless you, too, for all the children at the orphanage."

"Goodbye, Jade."

"Goodbye, Sister Ann."

And with that, she went out the door, got in her car and left me. Alone. In this huge house.

Well, I guess I could unpack everything now.

Ahhhhh. I finished packing, I set up my bed, I took a nice long shower, I put on my pajamas, and now I'm just relaxing. I probably should go to bed now though. I have my first day of school tomorrow.

Wow. School. I cant wait. I've always been really smart. I got mostly A's and a B here and there, but still.

I got out my IPod and started looking for the song. My parents gave it to me for my eighth birthday. A week before they left me…

Found it! Bella's lullaby. Its such a lovely song. I listen to it every night while I read the note. And eventually I drifted off to sleep…
