My name is Bella.

I used to live in phoenix but home there is long gone.

Now I live in a town called Owen Sound.

I used to be the reserved type, the kind of girl who kept to herself and never did anything out of the ordinary.

But then I couldn't handle it anymore. I started drifting from one friends house to another trying not to stay anywhere too long, and occasionally staying with my mother Renee for a month in between houses.

I had friends. Alice, she went to the artsy school, she was so talented. She had a boyfriend named Jasper, and was just outright amazing.

And there was Rosalie, She would always text this boy named Emmett from Winnipeg. She was my darling and my beloved, and we went to the same school as well.

I used to skip all the time and go over at lunch to Alice's school and hang out with her at lunch. That's when I say this boy, his name was Edward and he used to give me this intense stare that I never knew how to interpret. He was beautiful. He had crazy golden hair and the most beautiful eyes I could ever dream of. Mesmerizing. But I didn't stand a chance. Someone as beautiful as him must be taken.

I was hanging out with the good crowd, doing all the right things, overall being good. But then I collapsed. I couldn't stand to put on this show, It angered me so intensely that I just threw it all away and started hanging out where my mom did. Downtown tim hortons. It was where all the druggies hung out. All the dealers, the thieves, the 16 year old moms, and the middle aged woman who were easy. And then there were the kids who just needed freedom and that was where you had to go for freedom.

I had seen Edward many times, and of course he did have a girlfriend. Her name was Tanya, and she was so much more beautiful than I could ever be. But Edward always hung out with this girl named Jessica, And this guy named Jacob. Jacob was twenty, where as Edward was 17 and I was all but 16. Jessica was a very good friend of mine and I thrived on hanging out with her because she was the only one who had been where I had been. And Edward being her best friend always knew where she was.

I had just gotten out of school for the summer. And I was free, or so I had thought. I had gotten in a fight with my vice principle and I was so flustered. I had to find Emily so she could talk the sense and confidence back into me. She wasn't in her normal place so I just walked around aimlessly. Then I stumbled upon Edward. He was gorgeous. I asked him if he could take me to Jessicas house seeing as I had never been there. He agreed after staring into my eyes for the tenth time in a minute. We walked around and talked about anything and everything. His voice was heavenly. And even when he lit up a smoke it made my heart beat faster. It was incredible. He told me about his girlfriend problems. He told me about all his past relationships. And he told me all about where he lived and why he lived there. He was phenomenal.

We arrived at Jessicas but she wasn't home. He offered to hangout on Friday, but I wasn't sure. Maybe?
