Chapter 1

I guess before I go to much further I should introduce myself. My name is Isabella Marie Swan. And the things that led me to the decision to leave Phoenix and run to Forks are not those of a fairy tale. Now don't get me wrong, my childhood was great, but that's the thing I never really got to be a child. My Mom has always been a tad bit excentric so most of my time was spent with me being the parent instead of her. She never had a man around, she always said she didn't need one. That was until around 3 years ago when she said she found Mr. Right, a minor league baseball player turned high school coach named Phill. He was at least 10 years younger than her but my Mom was happier than I have ever seen her so I kept the weird feeling I got from him to myself, now I wished that I hadn't waited so long.

Thing with Phil started out ok I guess. We didn't really have a lot in common but my Mom love him so I gave him a chance but after a few months things started to get weird. He would always find ways to touch me. Nothing inappropriate at first just subtle things. Like he would hug me longer than needed or run his hands through my hair or up and down my arm. But Mom was happy was what I always told myself, and I wasn't going to take that away from here.

About a year into their marriage Phil was injured in a game that ended his career. He ended up finding a job as a local high schools Baseball coach but things were never the same. The end of his dream meant the end of the Phil that was at least nice to me. When he lost his job my Mom had just finished a nursing program at the local community college and took a job as a traveling nurse to offset the loss of his Baseball income, which meant she was never home. He was ok with it though, he told here he was proud of her and would be right here waiting for her to come home. So with that my Mom packed her things and went out into the world to leave me with Phil for weeks at a time.

And little did I know that this would be the beginning of the end of my childhood. That the things that would transpire next would in the end destroy me as a person, make 2 weeks in Forks seem like 2 weeks at Disney World, and make me have to do the one thing I despised doing in any situation. It would make me RUN!
