I haven't done any writing in a long time, so please anyone who reads this – bear with me. I finished reading Eclipse the other night, and after reading a few fan fictions, I decided it was time I try my hand at a Twilight fan fiction. This is not a one shot, though at this point I am unsure as to how far I will go with this. I have a hunch that trying my hand at writing Bella being changed might be a tad bit difficult. I think that might have to be done from Edward's point of view. Please read and review. I hope I don't slaughter the portrayal of Mrs. Meyer's characters to much.

None of the characters of this fanfiction are mine, they belong to Stephanie Meyer

Reminiscing on a late muggy afternoon

I wanted so much to be able to sleep at this moment. Chances that would occur at all this evening were slimmer the slim. The air was excruciatingly warm and muggy, to the point that it was unbearable. Combining that fact with the fact that I was getting more and more anxious by the minute did not in anyway help my cause. I had become accustom to having a solid cold surface to sleep against during these hot nights. Something I had taken for granted I am sure. Tonight though, it had to have been the hottest night yet. –Damn you cold, granite like Edward. He had not only been my cooling system at night, he had also become my protector. I did not sleep as well without him. I shuddered at this thought, realizing that I had become dependant on him not only physically, thanks to my clumsiness, but also emotionally. Who was I kidding, this was not a realization, it was a fact, something I had discovered quite some time ago. Edward's absence and the proximity of the start of my new life, or lack of, as Edward had put it recently, had brought on a lot of reflection in me tonight. The heat was starting to get to me, I figured as I glanced at the window. The curtain was drawn so that I could sleep, though the window was wide open, beckoning even a sliver of a breeze. - Beckoning the holder of my heart as well.

I closed my eyes for just a moment, when a knock called from the other side of my bedroom door. "Bella, Alice called to remind you she will be here in a half hour." Charlie called through the door. "Thanks dad." I replied, getting off of the bed as quickly as the heat would allow. In all my thinking, I had forgotten the reason why I had been trying to sleep in the first place. Despite all that had to be done for tomorrows big event, Edward had demanded that I rest in his absence. Truthfully it was something I was not disagreed with, knowing how exhausting the rest of the preparations would be, not to mention how exhausting the wedding itself would probably be. Of course I did not mean that physically, well not till after the wedding. Grinning at this thought, I stumbled out of the room and into the bathroom, with the intention of taking a cool shower before I departed. I wondered if I would get a chance for that later on, what with how crammed the next twenty four hours would be. I was positive on that note, thanks to Edwards slight prying into Alice's head. Sighing, I let the water rush over me, knowing I had to seriously hurry up if I did not want to upset Alice.

I walked downstairs, still drying my hair with a towel. I was promptly greeted by Alice, who looked as if she had been waiting forever, for me to be ready. "Bella!" she said, her tone not as excited to see me as I would have thought. "What?" I said, puzzled. "You haven't packed an overnight bag, let alone any of your things for after the wedding. "Would you believe me if I said I forgot?" I said sheepishly, wondering how on earth I had actually managed to forget packing. "Sadly yes," she said, smiling and laughing once more. Turning her gaze to Charlie, who was just coming back inside the house, she spoke. "Bella is all packed, Charlie, I'm just going to grab a few things." She said, running up the stairs at a humanly pace. For a minute we were both silent. Finally Charlie broke the silence. "Bella honey, I am going to miss you very much." He said, tears welling at his eyes. "I know dad, I'll miss you too." I said, knowing my emotions were starting to catch up with me, and knowing that the tears were not far off. "I don't really understand why you are going straight to Alaska right after the honeymoon." He said his face very serious. "I already told you dad, the only way Edward and I can stay in that house for the first semester, is if we start house sitting as soon as possible." Now I really was crying. "Bells..." he started, until I cut him off. "I'll call all the time, and besides I will come back and visit before the semester starts." I told him, as I got up and gave him a massive bear hug. After a moment we broke apart. "Dad, I should go see if Alice is okay upstairs, we have to leave soon. " he looked at me for a second, then he said, " I have to go down to the station. "I will see you tomorrow." He said, kissing me on the forehead and then sadly turning to the door. I knew this hurt him, but if only he knew how much it would really hurt, when he found out why I wouldn't be visiting after all.

When I made it to my room, I found that Alice had packed everything in boxes. This included my beading. The only things she left were the bed frame, the curtains, the dresser, the computer and the desk it sat on. Grabbing only one suitcase, she explained that Emmet would get my things tomorrow before the wedding. I knew that no one could get it now, as the guys would either return late tonight, or even tomorrow, depending on how things went. With one last look at my room, Alice escorted me to the front door. When I opened the door, I realized that Charlie had already left in the cruiser. Alice and I walked to Edwards Volvo, which happened to be parked across the street. Before she pulled away, I looked at the house, and my truck, which I knew would stay behind. I stole one more glance at it all, smiling as I recalled moving to Forks had turned out much better then I had expected.Much better then I had expected it to.
