A/N: This chapter is going to be Bella remembering her life up until the current point in time(she will be a junior in high school) So don't flame if this is brief, the characters will talk more about what happened in some parts later in the story, please read and tell me what you think. Also this an AU story (Edward is a human) so if you don't like them than you could turn away now or give it a chance.
Also I don't own twilight or any of the characters in this story(I wish)
My mom Renee and dad Charlie were madly in love when they got married. Shortly after that they had me and I guess their relationship fizzled out. They split up before I even turned one and my mom and I moved to Riverside, California.While we lived in Riverside my mom tried her hand at dating again. I don't remember much of it, mainly because she would leave me with a neighbor and then come home very early in the morning. I always knew she would get tired of this town soon enough so I never really gave any kids my age a chance, probably because my mom had always said I was born middle aged. I guess she was bad at finding the perfect guy there because by the time I turned five she had given up and reconciled with Charlie. We moved back in to the small house we shared during my infancy and they soon became the perfect couple as well as parents. I felt like my life was finally happening the way it was supposed to.
That fall I started kindergarten at the forks elementary school and I met the people I would forever call my best friends. The first one was a girl named Alice Brandon. She was rather short for her age and her hair was almost jet black. She was very energetic and came up and introduced herself as soon as I stepped into the classroom. She dragged me along with her to the corner where there was a trunk of dresses and started playing dress up. I eventually made her stop and we ended up playing a game of go fish, well the best we could at the time anyway. That's when he walked up to us, Alice must have already known him because she smiled and said, "Hey Edward." He didn't respond he just sat down in between us and asked if he could play, which of course we let him.
We all shortly became best friends. I am not really sure why we were so close, I mean here I was the shyest person in the world who would rather be sitting at home reading than going to the mall and they were practically the two most popular people in elementary school. By the time we reached middle school, Edward grew up. He was suddenly the guy all the girls wanted to date, but for some reason he would rather hang out with me than go on dates with them.
That's probably around the time I fell in love with him, not a simple childhood crush but full-blown I would marry you if you asked me to and spend the rest of my life with you love. Of course I knew it would never work out between us, he saw me as just a friend, and that I could live with because as long as I was friends with him my life was complete. However it still bothered me why he never accepted any of the offers he had to go on dates with the popular girls in the school. I always wondered if he felt bad about leaving me out and that's why he never went on dates because he felt bad I would be stuck at home by myself. However if you think I ever told him about these thoughts you must not be thinking straight, because as much as I felt guilty I loved spending time with him.
In ninth grade Alice met a new guy named Jasper who was perfect for her. He seemed to keep her grounded in a way that Edward or I never could. They were practically married by the time they had their third date. They would always make Edward and I come and watch the movie with them on their dates but afterwards they would go to dinner and we would go to the arcade or simply walk around the stores that were in the area. We would walk around and just talk and talk for an hour or two until they decided they were done with the restaurant and then we would drive home. It was during those times that Edward and I became even closer. Up until those days we were best friends but when it came to knowing everything about each other it was like we were strangers.
Alice and Jasper continued dating for all of ninth and tenth grade, and while Alice and I were still the best of friends, Edward definitely took her place as my best friend. I was pretty sure it was the way it would always be and I was content with that.
That leads up to now, we are all about to be juniors and I was the happiest I had ever been.
Please Review
And my other story will be updated soon, I just had the inspiration for this one and wanted to write the first chapter before I forgot anything.
