CHAPTER 1.
BPOV
"...And they both lived happily ever after." My mother read from my story book before she closed it and looked up at me. "Time for you to go to sleep now Sweetheart"
"Mummy?" I asked her as she stood up from my bed and began to tuck me in
"Yes Bella?"
"When is Emmett coming home? I miss him."
"He'll be back in a couple of weeks for a visit."
"Do you think he misses me?"
She laughed before she answered. "Of course he does silly. He loves you and I bet he has a really good surprise for you for your birthday"
I scrunched up my face at that. I hated surprises and Emmy knew it. Just then my father came into my room. My daddy came to stand beside my mother. "Shouldn't you be asleep Sweetie. It's past your bed time."
"But I'm not tir..." I tried to stifle my yawn but my parents noticed and they both laughed. My father bent down and kissed my forehead. "Go to sleep Bella. Love you Sweetheart."
I nodded my head and closed my eyes. Suddenly I heard the sound of tires screeching as they tried to break and I opened my eyes to see to bright lights coming towards me. I screamed...
I shot straight up in bed as a tried to catch my breath. I could feel tears running down my face, but I didn't even try to wipe them away. This was nothing new. I had had this dream before. Many times and every time I would wake up crying and gasping for breath. I took a few deep breaths and tried to calm myself down before I laid back down in bed and rolled over so I could stare out of my bedroom window. I from my position I could see the stars up in the sky but no moon. I knew that there wasn't a moon out tonight. I had seen it marked on the calendar this morning. There was a new moon tonight, just like there had been on that night almost fifteen years ago.
I can still remember the music that was playing in the background at Un po 'di Italia, my favourite restaurant. We only went out for tea there if it was a special occasion and that night we had been celebrating. That restaurant had been my favourite place to dine. These days I couldn't even drive past it without bursting into tears.
We were on our way home when it happened. When my small six year old world changed forever. My father's police crusier was full of chatter and laughter on our way home that night. I can remember my mother pointing out the window up at the sky.
"See Bella. There is no moon out tonight. Just stars."
I stared with awe up at the sky. "There are so many of them." I kept looking up at them until I found the brightest one in the sky. "That one! Look at that one mummy."
"Wow, that is a big one. Why don't you make a wish sweetheart?"
I did as she said and continued to look up at the star as I sang, "Star light, Star bright. First star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might; have this wish I wish tonight." I shut my eyes tight and wished.
"What did you wish for Sweetheart?" My father asked from the driver's seat without glancing back at me.
"I can't tell you Daddy. If I do it won't come true."
"Oh, how silly of me. Of course it won't come true if you told me." he chuckled. My mother just laughed at him.
Everyday since then I have wished I could go back in time and tell him what I had wished for. Maybe if I had it wouldn't have come true. I'd wished for my brother. I wanted to see my brother because I hadn't seen him since he had moved away for college a few months early.
Our car stopped at the only set of traffic lights in the small town of Forks and while we waited for the light to turn green, my mother turned around in her seat to look at me and she started to pull funny faces at me. I was laughing and clapping at her from the back seat when the light turned green and my father turned the corner. He didn't even have time to swerve away from the drunk drive that hit us. I could see the bright head lights coming towards us over my mother's shoulder. My scream was drowned out by the sound of the two cars crashing into each other. I only saw black after that.
I awoke two weeks later in a white walled hospital room. I could feel someone's hand in mine so I turned my head to look at who the hand was attached to. Emmett was asleep with his head on my bed. I gently squeezed his hand and watched as he blinked a few times before he slowly lifted his head. I was excited to see my brother, that is before I saw tears run down is cheeks. Emmett never cried and it was starting to scare me.
"Emmy? Where is Mum and Dad?"
He dropped his gaze from my face and slowly stood up. He then gently sat on my bed and pulled my into a hug, trying very hard not to hurt me. He took a few deep breaths before he answered me.
"There gone Bella."
I just looked at him shaking my head. No, no no...
"Gone where?"
"Bells, they didn't make it. They are with Grandma Swan, in heaven."
I broke down then and just cried and screamed. Emmett cried with me. The tears didn't stop until I fell asleep.
Life was hard after that. It took along time for me to recover after the accident. I had been impaled on a piece of metal from the car and my knee had been completely shattered from the impact. I slowly learnt to walk again but it was difficult. Once I was well enough to travel, I moved with Emmett to Seattle where he was living. He had been staying there with his girlfriend's adoptive family. I meet Emmett's girlfriend Rosalie Hale during my stay in hospital. She was nice and I liked her but I didn't really talk to her. I didn't really speak to anyone at all, not even Emmett.
Esme and Carlisle Cullen took me in. They didn't mind and they treated me like apart of the family. They legally adopted me later that year. They had two biological children. Alice and Edward. Alice was a few years older than me and Edward was my age. Those two became my best friends. Japser was Rosalie's younger brother. They both had been adopted by the Cullen's when they were younger. Their parents had been abusive and they had been in and out of the foster care system before Esme and Carlisle took them in. Emmett and Rosalie had met at college and had been dating for awhile before he to moved into the Cullen Mansion. He fitted straight in and became part of the family.
I shook my head to try and clear it, so that I could try and escape my memory. I knew I needed to get to sleep because I had classes in a couple of hours. So I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I didn't even try to stop the tears that were still falling over the guilt I felt for my parents death, since it had been my birthday we had been celebrating that dreadful night. I just hoped that one day it would get better.
