Have you ever felt like the whole worlds against you? Like your invisible?
Well I have. Infact I felt that way for 15 years of my life.
My mother and father divorced when I was just a baby - my mum took my sister and my father… well he was left with me. Ever since I can remember my father has done the bare minimum for me - changing diapers and feeding me - I don't remember ever being tickled, not that I should. But there's also no photos of me as a baby around the house but there are loads of my sister and mother. I rummaged through my fathers wardrobe a few years back and found a box at the back filthy in dust but inside baby photos of me. Ones of my own, ones with my mum, ones with my sister and even a few with Charlie. Yeah, that's my fathers name. It's nice to know that he's not completely repulsed by me, or at least he wasn't at one point.
I hardly ever saw my mother or sister except for two weeks a year when they would come and visit us in Forks, Washington. During that small amount if time my sister and I were inseparable. However, when we were … she refused to come to Forks and so we had to visit them in Phoenix, Arizona. I'm not fond of the sun, I have to wear factor fifty just to not burn. But despite this Charlie of course forced me to go to despite Angela saying I could stay at hers for the two weeks.
It was quite quiet at home with just Charlie and myself, I made dinner, he ate he then went and sat in the living room and left me to tidy up. I wouldn't go and sit with him we had nothing to talk about and I always felt a nuisance. So I would go and sit up in my room do homework and listen to music. If it was the weekend, he would go out fishing and I would walk down to the reservation to see Embry, Jacob and Quil. They were my best friends.
When I was 14 years old my friend Angela urged me, well dragged me to see the doctor - I had lost too much weight, I was always tired, I was always down she said. The doctors gave me anti-depressants and I went on my way. Charlie never found out. No one did except Angela, Jacob, Quil and Embry who made sure I remembered to take them. I hated it.
I had other 'friends' at school but our relationship was very superficial. Jessica and Lauren were serial gossipers who couldn't be trusted. Mike was a little puppy dog, who just would never leave me alone. Tyler a big baboon, funny but over the top. The only person I related to was Angela.
My whole life changed when I was fifteen, when he came to Forks: Edward Cullen. Him and his family turned my world upside down and it hasn't been the same since. Everyone thought them strange, beautiful but strange. I saw beauty, I saw loneliness and I saw secrets. Alice was the first person to talk to me, on her first day at school, she said she saw us being best friends and that she knew how lonely I felt. Since then we've been inseparable. Edward, seemed to hate me but long story short, he eventually warmed to me and we fell in love. But I will explain that later in my story.
The big twist? Alice and her family, Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, Carlisle and Esme were vampires.
