Chapter One

13 years ago

My name is Isabella Marie Swan, and I'm five years old. I don't like to be called Isabella though, so everyone calls me Bella. Except for my best friend in the entire world, Edward. Mommy doesn't like Edward, she says that he's not real and I should stop daydreaming about fake people.

But Edward is real, just because no one else is seeing him...doesn't mean he's fake! And he talks and walks and plays just like me. But he's 17 years old! But he says that doesn't matter, because when I get 17, then he'll still be the same age. Cool huh?

Edward has reddish brown hair and bright green eyes, even brighter than Grass!

One day me and Edward were outside playing in the mud. Edward usually doesn't like doing stuff like this, but I used my puppy dog eyes, and then he agreed. We were making mud pies when suddenly mommy came outside.

"Bella!" she yelled at me, "What are you doing!? That's a brand new dress!"

"Me and Edward were playing in the mud," I said.

"Oh no Bella!" she screeched, "I've had enough of this imaginary friend crap!" She walked over to me and Edward angrily and grabbed my arm and pulled me up.

"Where is he, Bella!?"

"Who?"

"Edward!" she yelled. By now tears were coming out of my eyes, I had never seen mommy so mad before! I didn't know what to do.

I looked at Edward.

"Izzy! Tell your mom where I am, tell her I'm right in front of her!" he pleaded. I then realized what he was doing, he was going to risk his life so mommy wouldn't get mad at me.

"But she'll hurt you!" I said to him, my eyes were now crying faucets.

"It doesn't matter Izzy!" he said. I turned to mom, who looked even angrier now that I was just talking to Edward.

"H-he's...right in front of you..." I stuttered, I was gasping so hard due to my crying that I could hardly speak right.

Mommy grabbed Edward by the arm and she dragged us both into the house, up the stairs, and into the closet in her room. She grabbed a small palm sized blue velvet box, used for rings, from the shelf then she started to push Edward inside.

"MOMMY YOUR HURTING HIM!" I screamed. She kept shoving him into the small box and then slammed it a few seconds after she got him in it. All I could do was stand there, crying and begging.

Then she grabbed some duct tape and started to tape it up, all around it so you could hardly see any of the blue. "No Edward!" I whispered, my throat now to sore to yell. Mommy then dragged me down into my room and locked the door. And I stayed in there for hours, and cried the entire time.

A/N: sounds like a pretty strange story...lol...but yeah, there stories way stranger on Fanfiction. And no...Renee is not abusive or whatever, she just got annoyed about the whole imaginary friend thing. And no, Bella is the only one who can see Edward. No one else can see him. Renee just guessed she had him fully in the box thing. Review plz. Oh and the next chapter, Bella will be 17!
