AN:
Sorry guys! I would have updated much earlier today or even yesterday, but my brother decided to delete this whole chapter. *Hint: He isn't much of a twilight fan*
This chapter is Bella and Edward POV, but don't expect that again. Bella and Edward POV are only going to be written in the first and last chapter of this story. The rest of it is going to be in Bella's POV.
Read and review.
Reviews= Update *Hint*
This is a shoutout to Fran! Thank you for helping me!

Me: I want to own twilight!
Alice: That's too bad! You don't own it.
Me: Please?
Edward appears out of nowhere.
Edward: No!
(I break down and sob until they both disappear.)
Me: Why can't I ever own something? The fortune cookie said I was going to!
(I desperately look around for any of the Cullens)
Me: Oooh! A fortune cookie!
Guys, face it! We don't own twilight except Stephenie Meyer.
Bella POV
I used to live in a world, where I had no say in my future.
A simple Program chose everything: my husband, the date of my wedding and even the number of children I would be allowed to give birth to.
I was born in Forks, Washington and lived there for the following sixteen years. If I would have had the choice, I would have travelled through the entire United States, but I didn't.
Not even my parents could help me. They were forced to obey or else painful punishments would be received.
There were small choices I could make on my own, such as my favourite colour, favourite books or friends.
My middle name and surname were luckily chosen by my parents.
I was supposed to marry Jacob Black at the age of twenty-one, therefore, my parents had made sure that we spent almost every day together.
We had developed a strong friendship and Jacob, at one time, was my best friend.
That all changed at the age of fourteen.
Jacob and I had known since the age of twelve that we were going to marry in future.
We had both admitted to each other that we weren't yet ready for a romantic relationship.
Flashback
I was lying on my bed reading one of the classics; Pride and Prejudice. Jacob was seated next to me and had been magically silent up until now. He began to cough suspiciously and I was brought out of my dream, I turned around and was faced with a nervous looking Jacob.
"What is it?" I asked annoyed, completely unaware of Jacob slowly leaning forwards."Jacob ...," I questioned once again before I was interrupted with Jacob's lips on mine.
Shocked and disgusted, I pushed him back."What was that?"
"I was so furious with him that I didn't even think twice about punching fist landed on his stomach and his knees gave in, causing Jacob to fall to the ground with a loud crash.
Since this incident Jacob had kept his distance. We had discussed it several times and I chose to keep our relationship on the friendship level.
Jacob, as expected, was a bit upset but kept his part of the bargain.
Our friendship after that wasn't as strong as it once was.
However, I was happy with our arrangement. I didn't feel comfortable being around him if I couldn't respond to his feelings.
I had never felt anything more than friendship towards any of my friends.
I wasn't a cold-hearted person, but I just didn't trust easily.
I never really expected to fall in love and risk everything for that person.
Well, that was until I, Isabella Marie Swan, met Edward Anthony Masen Cullen.
Edward POV
Freedom:
- The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint
- To have a choice
- Liberty, independence, rights
Love:
- To be able to develop a deep affection towards someone
- To be able to experience a first date, a first kiss and a first relationship
- To be able to choose the person you bestow your heart to
Stability:
-To be able to make decisions on your own regards to regret or success
- The state of being stable
- Knowing that you are secure and safe
These options and possibilities were all I had ever wanted from life, but couldn't.
Instead of having the freedom of choice, I had to obey everything given to me by a simple Program.
Instead of being able to meet someone and slowly fall in love, I was forced to marry someone I didn't love.
Instead of being stable for once in my life, I wasn't allowed to make any decisions in my life.
Instead of living, I was just a little marionette being swung back and forth on a string.
My life was nothing but a black hole.
Of course, there were my siblings, who managed to make me crack a smile occasionally. But in reality I couldn't ever imagine being truly happy in my life.
That was until I, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen, met Isabella Marie Swan.
