I have made a lot of mistakes in my life.
Edward is definitely not one of them.
The path I had chosen for my life that led me to him, however, was just one mistake after another. But I am certain that he would have found me either way. Our paths were destined to cross. Our love was meant to be.
The first mistake I had made was falling into the crystal blue eyes of Mike Newton when I moved to Forks. He was just so friendly and charming it was hard to resist. Being the new kid in school is tough enough, but when it's in a town where everyone knows everyone and everything, you are practically wearing a sign that invites everyone to stare.
Mike was the unfortunate victim of my clumsiness on that first day of school. I tried to stay clear of the ball, knowing that volleyball was an accident waiting to happen. Most of the time I'm the only one who gets hurt, but as the ball was heading straight for me, I just closed my eyes and tried to save my head. My palm made contact and a second later I heard a loud "oomph" as the ball smacked into the back of Mike's head.
I felt so guilty that I accepted his invitation to dinner without realizing what I was doing. He was so attentive during that first date, I had no way of knowing how quickly things would go downhill.
At first it felt great. I had never been envied when I was growing up in Phoenix. Now, though, all the girls were jealous and wanted to be me. Me! All because Mike wanted me; then the novelty began to wear off. The girls became mean, and then, they got used to us being together. And I let this all happen, another mistake.
Not long after we graduated high school, Mike asked me to marry him. We had been together for two years, and I hadn't been with anyone else ever. It was the only thing that made sense, and I was certain that Mike would be the only one who would love me. We were wed the next December in the local Forks church, with a small reception at the Lodge. That was my biggest mistake of all.
Then Edward shows up. Just after my 20th birthday, and right before our 1st wedding anniversary.
And this is where my story begins.
