Thanks to everyone who added me to their story alert list! You guys rock! I was recently reminded that a prologue comes at the beginning, not an epilogue. I apologize for that mistake. And a word of advice, most of my outfits are available on my profile, I will let you know when they are not. Heres Chapter one, Please enjoy!!
Chapter 1: Just when I thought life was perfect
BEEP BEEP BEEP! I rolled over to my side and looked at my clock. 6 AM. Ugh. Time to wake up. I slowly rolled off my bed and looked out the window. Charlie had already left. I lazily went downstairs and had a bowl of Captain Crunch, my favorite cereal. After I rinsed and dried my bowl, I went into my closet to see what I should wear. Since it was warm out today, I ended up with my white tunic with a black belt and black leggings. I decided to leave my hair down in light curls. I slipped on my blue flats with black bows and grabbed my blue tote and I was out the door. Ever since I had gotten a job, I was able to afford more expensive clothes, like the ones I was wearing now. Even though I could afford expensive clothes, I still had the same crappy red Chevy truck from when I turned 16. It was my homecoming present from Charlie. Even if it was a piece of crap, it was my piece of crap. I loved it like it was new. On my way to school, I let my mind wander freely. I arrived at school 10 minutes before the bell. I was greeted by the benches by my best friend, Angela Weber.
"Hey Bella!" Angela said with excitement. She usually wasn't like this. She was usually quiet and kept to herself.
"Hey Ange, whats got you all worked up?"
"You know Ben Cheney, right?!" Of course I did, she's all he ever talked about. There were rumors that he liked her back, but we weren't sure.
"Yeah, what about him?"
"He asked me out!! Right before you got here!! Isn't that awesome?!"
"That's great!!" We celebrated for a minute, then the warning bell went off. We both headed to English, problem was we had separate teachers. The whole day went by slow. I sat at my regular table during lunch, with my other friends, Mike, Jessica, and Eric. Of course, Angela and Ben sat with each other. I had never seen her this happy. I was very happy for her. Sure, I wished I could be that happy, but I knew I would never love again. My friends Mike and Eric liked me. Eric was my not my type, he was more of a chess club guy. Mike, however, was. I admit, he was very good looking, but he was nothing more than a friend to me. When the final bell finally rang, I was on my way. When I got home, i was half-expecting Charlie to be home since he left so early. When I walked in the door, there was a note on the kitchen table.
Bella,
I'm going to be home a little late. Don't bother with dinner. By the way, your mom called. It sounded pretty important, I think you should call her back ASAP.
Love,
Dad
Of course my mom called. She was the paranoid type. If i didn't reply her emails soon enough, she would send about 8 more and call about 5 times. Charlie had never told me to call her, I guess it was important. I picked up our cordless phone so I could do my homework while I was talking. I waited 5 rings and she didn't answer. I was about to hang up, then I heard her voice.
"Hello?!" she said in a scared voice.
"Mom? Are you okay? What did you need to talk to me about?"
"Bella.." she said slowly, "I think you might want to sit down for this"
"Okay..." I said as I was sitting on my bed, "what's up?"
"It's about Jack and Ellen." Was it just me or did her voice crack as she said this?"
"What about them?"
There was a long pause. Then she finally spoke, "There was an accident.."
"Are they okay?" I said kind of shocked. Jack and Ellen had been with me and my mom since my mom married Phil.
"No, honey, there not.."
"Well, when are you going to be okay?"
"Honey, they were killed." Then she started crying. This was bad! They were the ones taking care of my daughter. They couldn't be dead!
"What about Rachel mom?"
"Hun, no one in their family can take her. They all live outside of Arizona. And I can't take her."
"So what are we going to do about her?"
"Sweetie, your going to have to take her."
At that, I dropped the phone. Right there, my life was over.
What do you think?? Sorry it took so long! I know I said a half hour, but I had to have a family game night! For now, I am only asking for 3 reviews! That's all! For now, I am going by how many reviews I get, just to get the story started. As it goes on, I will just update whenever I want. Please review and give me ideas!
