Chapter 1. Bella.

"Oh Bella I am going to miss you so damn much ! Promise you'll call everyday and email" My eyes became watery as I looked into the eyes of all my best friends who were bidding my goodbye maybe forever. Forever. That word came crashing down on me and I couldn't control it anymore.

I sobbed and dropped to the floor crying my eyes out. I felt a bunch of arms wrap around me and I smiled slightly. I felt my weight being picked up by itself and looked up to see Caleb. I saw pain and unshed tears in his eyes. I hid my face into his chest and murmured incoherent words.

"I p-promise." I stated simply. We all had said our goodbyes for the past week, and at the time I thought it was stupid and thought my friends were taking it a bit to far. Like that one time Jaymz made my promise that once I got to L.A., I wouldn't turn into a classy stripper. An unexpected bubble of laughter erupted from my throat and everyone smiled at m common randomness.

"Attention all passengers. Flight 207 to Las Vegas, California will be taking off shortly. Please report to Gate 7A and have a nice day." The too cheery woman spoke from the intercom. How can someone who works with whiny passengers and crying babies be so cheerful this early in the morning ?

I felt my get set on the ground and balanced myself on my feet making sure not to fall. Again.

"Oh Bella !! We're going to miss you so much. But just remember, we will visit almost every holiday and keep in touch every day. I love you sis," I smiled and hugged them all in turn. They all had tears in their eyes.

I saved Caleb for last. Our relationship for the last year was complicated. I guess you could say we were friends with benefits but at times we would act all couple like, but I never complained. I liked the way we were. I simply wrapped my arms around his broad chest and I felt himself kiss my head softly. I felt a drop of moisture on my soft reddish brownish colored hair. He was crying. That made my cry even more.

"I love you Bella." He replied while looking into my eyes and kissing me one last time. This kiss was rough and urgent, but based on the circumstances I understood why.

"I love you Caleb" I replied and felt his smile against my lips. It wasn't ever romantic between us. Just friends with some different set of rules.

"Bye Belly Wellie." the all said in sync. Knowing Sydney she probably made them practice that for hours until they got it right. I wiped all my tears away and gave them the biggest smile ever.

"Bye guys. I will miss you all. Love you." I whispered before disappearing into the gate. From where I was standing, I could still feel their stares boring into my back and I could hear their soft cries from afar.

In less than 15 minutes, I was boarding the plane and did a quick wave to the group who were smiling and jumping like lunatics. I shook my head and boarded the airplane. It was pretty empty and I quickly found my designated seat. P14.

I pulled out my iPod while looking out the shiny glass window that was only separating me from the foggy air that was currently outside.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep quickly quietly praying in my mind that I wouldn't throw up or have the urge to pee. I seriously hate public restrooms. Just Ugh.

In the background, When I look at You was playing and I sighed while humming myself to sleep.

I felt a poking in my left side and grumbled profanities which caused a round of chuckling. My eyes shot open and I was met with 4 random strangers.

"Hi I'm Jane. And you need to get your cute little butt up before you go back to wherever you came from" She beamed at me while I blushed. Okay now that was embarrassing. I noticed they all had pale faces like ghostly white but only they could pull it off. The first thing that caught my attention was their eyes. They were red with specks of gold and my eyes widened.

"Uh I'm Bella. Thanks." I said while smiling brightly at these new friends. They're were three boys and one girl. More for me.. Oh. Bad thoughts !

"I'm Alec. This is Felix and that's Demetri." I shook their hands which were unnaturally cold. ( Yes, they are vampires but the little specks of golden shows they are trying to make the change between human to animal).

Jane looped her hand through mine while Demetri rolled his eyes. I was taken back by her approach but smiled. That was exactly how I met Sydney.

Flashback.

I was searching through the racks of clothes at Hollister and had my hands full of basically everything I could find. Just as I placed everything on the counter, I looked around and was met with a beautiful girl with straight black hair and sparkly blue eyes that had a twinkle in them.

"Hi. I'm Sydney. Guess What? You officially my new best friend !! Yay for you !!"

And that was how I met my best friend in the whole wide world. How much I love Hollister now…

End of Flashback*

We walked out of the plane and I noticed they had a certain type of grace. Just the way they carried themselves showed confidence and beauty in every stance. I couldn't help but notice that they covered themselves up almost completely. The guys wore jeans with long tight v neck shirts that popped through their sweatshirts and had their hoods up. Jane wore those classy white elbow length gloves with black skinny jeans and a coat with a feathery hat.

The sun was beating down on my face and I loved it. It was such a change from Forks, Washington.

"Well Bella. I really hope to see you around," I turned to her and hugged them all. I was great at making friends but never this quick.

"Yeah Jane. I hope so too' I smiled sincerely and watched them all walk away into a dark tinted car.

I shook my head and looked around for any sign of my dad, his wife Sue, or Leah and Seth. Let me explain. After my mom left us, Charlie got married to a lovely woman named Sue and now I had a new older step sister who was 20 and a younger brother who was 16.

I loved them both a lot. They visited occasionally but never when they knew my mom, Renee was around.

The first thing I saw was Seth and boy was he tall. Well from here he looked tall. Damn what did he do grow 6 feet ?! I made my way through the crowd over to where he was.

"Bella!" He called out. I smiled and walked over to them. I laughed as I noticed Seth was hoisted up onto Leah's shoulders.

"Sethy ! Lee lee !" I boomed dropping all my bags as I ran into the arms of my siblings.

"I can't believe you're here !! Omg ! Yay !" Leah cheered and I ruffled Seth's hair who was pouting. I laughed and I ran back to my backs before lifting them up onto the cart.

Leah skipped over to the limo and I chuckled. Only Charlie. You see, my father was a famous movie director and also a producer so when given the chance, he spoiled us rotten.

We loaded my luggage into the trunk and seated comfortable while chatting the whole way there.

After about an hour, we approached large iron gates and I arched my eyebrow while Leah shrugged.

The two security guards let us pass and we drove in. There was a collection of houses scattered in the area. It was beautiful ! Like rich people paradise. Fancy cars, huge houses, large backyards filled with tennis courts and gyms. I sighed. This would be my new life for the next three years, but I think I can get use to this.
