Chapter 1

Pain.

Hurt.

Nausea.

Cold.

HEADACHE!

I woke up to the sunlight beaming in disturbing my sleep. At least I think that is what it as. My bladder was extremely full and I was freezing my ass off. But I did not want to move because I knew that it was going to hurt everywhere.

Why the hell was I so cold?

Slowly opening one eye to avoid the pain the sun was going to cause, I finally looked down to see that I was only covered up in a throw blanket. Lifting the blanket up I realized that I was only in my bra and panties.

What the hell happened last night?

Giving my brain a few minutes to remember how to form more memories. I was sure that I had not taken anyone to a back bedroom. Then it hit me. Of course, Strip Beer Pong. Freaking Victoria and her crazy ass house rules and of course once I had a fair amount of alcohol in my system I was more then willing to loose clothing during the game. Hey it would distract the guys when they had the balls. I finally got up to go to the bathroom, wrapping myself in the blanket; I gathered my clothes that were sprawled around the livingroom.

Once I exited the bathroom fully dress I took a chance to survey the damage to her place. It was trashed. I slowly made my way to the kitchen to get some pain medicine and a large glass of water, which turned into three glasses. This hangover was going to be hell. I had been hanging out here for a few months so I was attuned to how they partied here, and last night seemed to go a bit beyond the usual. Then it hit me.

Today was graduation.

Shit! What time was it!

Somehow in my inebriated state last night I was able to get my cell phone on the charger in its usual spot. Three missed calls. It was one in the afternoon. Crap! My father had been trying to call. Graduation started at four. I was supposed to be back at my apartment working on packing my crap to leave tomorrow.

I quickly grabbed all my things as Victoria came out of her bedroom holding her head with her has. "Will you keep it down out here?"

"Sorry. I have to go. Graduation is in three hours. I have to shower and pack. Shit. This is not good." I said slipping my shoes back on.

"Well last night you didn't really care. Damn it Bella." Her got her sappy look on her face. "Do you really have to go all the way back to Forks? Why don't you just stay here?" she sank down into the couch flinging the person sleeping on it off. They only moaned before they rolled over and stayed asleep.

"And do what? I would stay. But I have no job lined up and you know that Charlie is not going to pay for me to stay here anymore."

"Ask Phil then." She pushed.

"Not going to happen." I grabbed my purse and went over to give her a hug. "I wish I had got up earlier to help you clean up some."

"Whatever, I'm not worried about it. No point in cleaning it when it just going to look like this tomorrow. Your ass better be back here tonight."

"I don't know. I have to finish packing and Charlie still going to be here." I started back to the door.

"Gosh I am so happy that you were able to convince him to sell the furniture and FedEx all your shit up there. There was no way that you were going to make it through a family road trip with him and a giant ass moving truck. That is one battle that it's good you won. But anyways, your ass will be here tonight. It's our last night. I have special goodies coming for you." She winked. She meant business.

Screw it. I was going to be ready to get totally shit-faced tonight after spending a few ours with Charlie. Plus who knew the next time that I was going to be able to let loose and do all this. I was going to have one last real escape. "Yeah, I'll be here."`

I guess that it was a good thing that Victoria lived in the same apartment complex as I did so I was just able to run back home. I already knew that I was going to go home to a pissed of Charlie. Yeah I loved my father, I guess, but was it really necessary that he needed a spare key to my apartment when he lived states away? Like he was really ever going to come and sneak here to check on me. I guess that it was just him being a police chief.

I still was not able to believe that I was really going to have to go and live with him. I loved being in the city; the traffic, the buildings, the feel, all the people. Now I was going off to a tiny little ass town with less then two thousand people in it. Kill me please.

I was raised in Fork's until I was eight years old. That was when my parents got a divorce and my mom and I moved to Phoenix. Every summer until I graduated from high school, I would spend a month in Forks. Thankfully I still had a few friends then from when I grew up. I was really happy to have Jake during those times. Our dads fished together like a hundred times a week and I could not stand it. Lucky for me Jake knew how much I hated it and would always find other ways to entertain me. As we got older I began to get the feeling that he was starting to get a crush on me. It was a good thing that I always left before he would get the nerve to make a move.

The last that I heard he was still there and never left. I did not know if I wanted to feel bad for him or if I was happy that I was going to have a friend there. That was if I felt like being around friends when I arrived. I was sure that it was going to take me a while to just get used to being there again. It had been 4 years since I had gone there. Once I started college I never made the time for it. I saw Charlie a few times. However with the recent events these past few months I had to go back, I was not going to stay here and be another burden on my poor step dad Phil. So my only option was Charlie's.

As I got to my apartment and went up the stairs to my apartment I heard bagging around from inside. He was here without a doubt and he was mumbling to himself.

I put my game face on before I walk in. I knew that he was going to be pissed but it was not going to effect me. When I got inside he was stacking up boxes in the living room and putting tape on them. I didn't have too much left to do since I had been working in it all week. Yesterday I was able to get all the big furniture out that we sold. The rest of it we were going to donate. Really all I had left was my bathroom and my clothes.

Charlie seemed really focused on what he was doing but he heard me come in so I did not have to worry about scaring him.

"Hey," I said sitting my things on the counter.

"Nice of you to help out. Where have you been Bells? I've been trying to call you." He looked worried. I hated that look on his face.

"Sorry, I was at Victoria's last night. I didn't hear my phone ring." He looked disappointed.

"It looks like you just got up. I was hoping to have lunch together before you had to get ready but we can just go dinner after." He paused to sigh and shake his head. Obviously trying to hold back his anger. "I am almost done here. Go take a shower and get ready. I'll finish this and then tonight you can just get the rest of it ready for pick up tomorrow." He went back to his task at hand.

I was never sure of what it was that he did but he was always capable of making me still feel like I was a sixteen-year-old child. I grabbed a cold bottle of water before I went and locked myself in my bathroom. My head was still killing me but I had to push that aside.

After about a thirty-minute shower my body was more at ease and I felt more awake. I didn't leave the bathroom until I was fully dress in my new yellow sundress that I got for the occasion and matched with white flip flops. To scared to wear anything else because I would be just like me to fall in front of a crowd of thousands of people if I wore anything with a heel. I wore my hair pulled back in a small messy bun because I figured that with the heat today anything else I would be taking a chance with. After quickly applying some mascara I was ready, figuring that blush was not needed since my face was going to turn cherry red the moment that my name was called anyways.

When I walked out Charlie was still in the living room. Once he spotted me he did a double take.

And there was some blush already. Told you so.

"Wow. Bella, you look. Wow." He came and gave me a hug.

"Thanks." I found it in me to hug back. He leaned back and looked down at me and gave me a kiss on my forehead.

"You know how proud she would be right now Bella. How proud she is right now. This would have been her proudest moment ever." I knew this was going to come out today.

"I know. Thanks. But we really don't have to do this today Char- Dad. Please." I begged him.

"Isabella. You need to. It healthy. The way that you are dealing with this is not good for you. You're not yourself. Bells you need to comfort your demons about this." He released me before I could push him away.

"STOP THAT! I don't need this today." I yelled at him.

"She would not be happy about how you are dwelling on this. You know that too. She wants you to move on." I had never seen him so concerned. Even after the accident.

"Charlie! I get it! Okay I know. She's dead. So you can stop already. Mom is gone." I sank to the floor. "It's supposed to get easier in time, right? Well I just have not had enough time yet." I could feel the tears trailing down my cheeks. He handed me a tissue.

"It will always be hard Bells. But it will get easier. You just have to be able to let go. I know that your mother and I have not been together for a long time but I still loved her. And I will till it's my time to go. But sweetie its not going to get easier till you try, and you have not tried yet." He brought me into a hug and held me until my sobbing stopped. Once I had calmed down he pulled me off the floor and hugged me one more time.

Until my mom passed 4 months ago I had never seen an emotional bone in my father's body. The funeral was the first time I had ever seen him cry. I was not sure if he was crying for her or for me, since I was so hysterical that my step dad, Phil, pretty much had to carry me from the church it was so hard for me to move.

I blocked out the thoughts about my mother for now just so I could get through the rest of the day. I had to.

Once we arrived to the school I separated from Charlie who gave me one last hug before I went and found my set. My exhaustion was hitting me as I was waiting for the stupid thing to start. It was not like we were getting the actually diplomas right now so why did we have to go through all of this. But whatever, I was just ready for it to be over. Maybe I would be able to take a little nap before my name was called since I probably had at least an hour till then.

That wish was crushed because of the screams and the fact that I was sitting next to Laurent, one of Victoria's friends. He was going on and on and on about last night. Apparently us girls went outside on the balcony and put on a bit of a show for the neighborhood while in our underwear. Thank goodness that the cops had not been called for that. He was also excited for tonight. The thought of drinking more was not making my stomach very happy and I am sure that it was not good that I had not eaten anything yet today.

Finally my name was called and I made my way on stage. Focusing on each step to not trip and make a total fool of myself. Once I shook the had of the man handing them out I turned to opposite stairs and made my way down, spotting Charlie in the standing by himself cheering and clapping. I was sure that I saw him wipe a tear from his eyes.

Ugh. Really?

Once we were finally done I went out in the crowd to locate my emotional father. When I found him, he was standing talking with Phil. I ran up to him and gave him a hug. I have not seen Phil in about a month, he was the coach of a Minor League Baseball team and traveled a lot. I honestly did not think that he was going to make it today

He and my mom married about three years after her and I had moved to Phoenix. Phil had always been amazing with my mom and me. I was sad that once I left I would not know how long it would be until I would get to see him again. I was able to convince him to join Charlie and I to dinner.

We went to my favorite little Mexican restaurant that was close to my apartment. I was quit for most of the dinner. Phil and Charlie mainly talked about Phil's team and sports, topics that I knew nothing about. Phil had an early morning and had to get back to his team tomorrow he had leave before I was finished with my dessert. I was not able to stop myself from tearing up when I said good-bye to him. But he offered to let me visit on his off season and to come and see me the next time that he was in Washington.

The rest of the dinner was quite other then Charlie filling me on his and Billy, Jake's dad, last fishing trip. When the waitress finally came and brought the bill I jump up at my chance to get away. Charlie was staying at a hotel not far from where we were since I did not have my furniture anymore I was sure that he expected me to go back with him. I looked down at my watch and saw that it was already going on eight.

I grabbed my cell and sent a quick text to Victoria.

Hey, what's the plan for tonight? B*

Not a minute later she responded.

Started the festivities now. Hurry and get here! I have a bottle with your name on it. Vic*

K! I'll be there in 20. B*

"Did you want to go back to the apartment and pack up some more things?" Charlie asked as we made out way out the door and to the rental car.

"You can take me there, I'm staying at Victoria's tonight." I opened the car door.

"Bella you have packing to do. Why don't you just say goodbye to her tomorrow. Stay at the hotel tonight."

"Dad I am going to say goodbye to my friends tonight. You know that I am not going to get to see them again." I yelled at him.

"Isabella, those people are not your friends. You have been hanging out with them for only the last few months. I know that all you do with them is party. That's not like you! Yeah I understand you did it at first to cope but its getting old. I know about the drinking and only lord knows what else goes on there. Your grades started slipping once you starting hanging out with them and everything." He was now yelling. "When's the last time you even talked to Jessica? Huh? You and her used to be so close and she was a good kid. Not like these people."

"I don't know. We don't talk anymore okay. And Charlie you and I are not going to fight about this. I am an adult and I am going! You can't tell me no." I screamed back at him.

"Whatever Bells, but don't whine to me when all your crap is not packed in the morning when its time to leave. But this," he pointed to me, "this behavior is going to stop once we get back to Forks. I'm not going to have any of it."

"Yeah whatever." I looked out the window happy that we were already pulling in the apartment complex.

He drove me right to Victoria's apartment. Without even saying a word I jumped out of the car. I heard him yell something out the window to me but I ignored it.

There were already people there playing cards and beer pong. I went straight to the freezer and grabbed the bottle of vodka out and got a cup. I fill the glass half way with vodka before even adding ice. Looking over someone handed me a jug of orange juice.

"Thanks." I took the cap off and filled the rest of the glass.

"That bad huh?" It was Victoria.

"Oh you have no idea. I don't know how I am going to make it up there." I took a drink. It burned going down it was so strong but I need that it would just get me drunker, quicker. With that I took another bigger one almost gagging on it.

"I still think that you should just stay here Bella. You're happy here. Why should you have to go all the way up to hick town?"

"Its not going to happen Vic." I stopped to take another big drink. "Look, I don't want to talk about it anymore. I'm here to have fun and damn it that is what we are going to do. So come on." I grabbed her hand and pulled her out to the living room that was still a pit from the night before.

As the night went on the apartment was filling up with more and more bodies. Within two hours of drinking it was safe to say that I was hammered. I was a very social drinker that night. I let loose of all my thoughts of move the next day and my plane ride with Charlie. Tonight was my night and no one was going to ruin it. That was until Demetri showed up.

He had I had been getting to know either other the last few months. Not personally but physically when behind closed doors of the spare bedroom. He showed up looked buff and hot like always. I was sure tonight he was hotter then most night. I was actually really sure that he was. I was staring at him like he was straight up man candy, which he was. I was sure that I was going to have a great night.

Before I could make my way to him Victoria came and grabbed me by the arm and took me to the back bedroom. "Not so fast you drunken horn dog."

"Wait. What are you doing?" I tried pulling against her almost spilling my fifth or sixth drink.

"Surprises." When we got into the back bedroom there where a few people in the already gathered on the bed and some on the floor. I heard the door shut and lock. Only a small bedside lamp was on so the room was too dim for me to see what was going on yet. As I got closer to the bed I saw that there was a mirror laying across it and people were separating the piles on it making bumps and lines.

I had done it a few times before when with Victoria. I was not big into to but I did not hate it. Victoria grabbed the rolled up dollar bill and went it and sorted up about a four inch line of the white powder substance. When she was finished and dabbed up the rest on her finger to put on the inside of her lip she handle me the dollar bill.

"Your go." I hesitated taking it. "Come on Bella. Its your last and we are going on with a bang. In more then one way." She winked at me.

Fuck it why not its my last night.

I grabbed the dollar from her and kneeled down on the side of the bed. Lining up the dollar with the line I brought my nose to it, snorting up as much as I could. The tingle went down my nose, making it start to run some instantly. We stayed in the room for about another thirty minutes. By that time I had done three more lines and my drink was empty. The only problem about doing that was that I was never able about to drink much after doing it and I was constantly licking my lips.

Once back out, I began making another drink, until I felt hands on my hips. I quickly saw that it was Demetri. He was eye fucking the hell out of me.

"Did you really think that you could wear a little dress like that tonight and not have it end up on the floor?" He whispered in my ear with what he thought to he his deep sexy voice.

By now my entire body was tingling from both the drinking and the drugs. He leaned in and started kissing me on my neck. I was suddenly aware of just how many people were around us as his hand began to run up the insides of my dress. I instantly slapped it away.

"Come on baby. Lets go to the back room." He grabbed my ass.

"Stop." I pushed him off and finished making my drink. But he continued touching me. "D! Seriously not right now." I started walking away from him. My whole body was tense from everything I had consumed and people touching me was seriously annoying the hell out of me.

"Bella, what the hell." He grabbed my arm and pulled me back to him and forced a kiss on me.

I was not able to stop my bodies reaction as I pushed away and slapped him. "I said no! Not now." I started walking away.

"Whatever you slutty ass bitch." He yelled as he threw is drink at the back of me, which soaked my whole backside. Suddenly the entire place got quite as I froze giving myself time to find composer in my fucked up state of mind.

"Yeah you're really going to some with that attitude. Fuck you too D." I said walking away from him.

Now I was cold and wet and trying really hard not to just cry right now. I wanted to go home. There was no way that I was going to hang around in this wet ass outfit. Though I knew that Vic would have a change of clothes for me I was not going to chance taking a shower with fifty pervs in the building.

I gathered my things to go home not listening to the protesting people who wanted me to stay. It was probably a good thing that most of them were to drunk to be able to notice how bad I was lying when I said that I was just going to run and wash off and change and then go back.

Victoria had chased Demetri out as soon as the drink left his hands and did not want me to leave but I was already becoming dry and sticky. With very few tears I hugged her and said my goodbyes, unable to wait till I could get under warm water, hoping it would sober me up some, though it was only midnight.

When I finally reached the apartment I went straight into the bathroom ripping the dress off and putting it right into the garbage. As soon as the hot and steamy water hit me I instantly sank to the floor and began crying. Crying for everything that was wrong with me. Crying because I was drunk and high and not remembering how I ended up on this patch in my life. Crying because I had no idea what to expect for my future. Crying because I was moving tomorrow and I was going to miss it here. Crying most of all because of how much I missed my mother.

Once I got myself together enough to get cleaned off I stepped out and rapped myself in my bathrobe and put my hair up in a towel. Exiting the bathroom I peaked into my now empty bedroom. I had forgotten that the bed was gone now too. Continuing through the place I was beginning to feel empty as well. All my furniture was now gone; the furniture that my mom had helped me pick out. The only things in the place were boxes and a few things left out that I would need. I walked over to where the couch had been located and laid down on that floor as if I was on the couch and cried until I slowly feel into a deep sleep.

"Bella. Bella. Wake up." I was being shaken awake. "Bella why are you sleeping on your floor? And in you robe no less?" Shit.

Charlie was here waking me up and it did not help that I fell asleep before I put any clothes on.

"What time is it?" I moaned out.

"It's ten in the morning. Bella I thought that you were staying a Victoria's last night. And why is your dress in the garbage?

"There was a change in plans." I managed to sit up and make sure that nothing was hanging out.

"Okay, well the movers are here so we can get everything shipped. Go get dressed and gather everything to the side that is going on the plane with you." He helped pull me up.

It did not take long to get everything out. Before I knew it I was in the office handing my keys over and signed off on my place. Then it was time to head for the airport. Getting out of the car and getting my luggage, I was having difficultly hold back my tears. Charlie somehow went back to being himself and not handling emotions well and he kept his distance. Probably understanding that I was leaving my home and being forced to go to some awful place that I hated and could not stand.

Our flight was quite. We flew into Seattle and had a three-hour drive until Forks. I slept most the way. Not trying to think of what I had gotten myself into. When we finally got to the house it was late and we were both beat. Charlie helped me carry my bags upstairs to my old room. Once inside I saw that he had not done a thing to it since I was in high school. I still have the same old desk he got for me when I started high school, as if i was going to need it while there. My purple comforter was still on the bed. I had planned to use my one from my apartment, until I remember edhow fluffy this one was. So I might put that off a few days. I set my things over by the window, figuring I would start to unpack the next day since I was going to be changing a few things in the room and it was so late.

We said our good nights and went our separate ways. I passed out the second I hit my pillow.

Waking up the next day I almost forgot where I was. I crawled out of the bed and looked out the window. The sun was not shinning and it was an over cast day. That was one thing that I was going to have to get used to. I was really going to miss the sun and heat of Phoenix. Now I was stuck with cold and wet.

I was only half awake when I made my way downstairs to the kitchen to look for something to eat. I was starving and it had been a good almost twenty hours since I had eaten anything. When I reached the kitchen Charlie was sitting at the table drinking a cup of coffee and read the newspaper.

"Morning."

"Morning." I opened the fridge to find it basically empty. "You have no food. I take it you still eat most of you meals at the diner and live off cereal and fish for the rest of them?" I got the milk out and a bowl before fishing out the box of sugaring cereal.

"Yeah, you know me too well Bells." He kicked out the chair in front of him for me to sit on.

"Once I eat ill go to the store and get some food. Stop wasting all your money on that fatty diner. Ill make dinner tonight." In high school I began to loathe that diner because I began getting so sick of it and eating there all the time. But it was that or fish.

"Thanks Bells." He smiled taking another sip of coffee.

I quickly ate my breakfast and went upstairs to shower off the previous days travel stink. Once done I threw on some jeans and a simple t-shirt before grabbing my wallet. When I got downstairs Charlie was waiting for me by the door with keys in his hands.

"Here, I kept that truck. It's yours now. Jake had been keeping up with it and it still runs pretty well." He handed the keys over.

"Thanks. Ill be back soon." I made my way to the beast of a truck. The summer after I got my drivers license Charlie bought a old Chevy truck off Jake's dad for me to have when I was here. I told him it was pointless when I was only there a month out of the year. He insisted since Billy gave him a good deal. It was red, rusty and old and I fell in love with it as soon as I sat in it.

I got to the store and my cart immediately began to fill up. I was sure that Charlie did not have any of the basic things you needed to cook with. In my head I planned out everything that I would need for about a week of dinners plus to have leftovers for lunches. As I turned into the can good isle my cart accidentally bump into someone else's cart.

"I'm so sorry." I said trying to move my cart around the person.

"Oh my gosh. Bella? Bella Swan?" I looked up to see who it was. "Its me Rose. Rosalie Hale."

"Wow. Hi." I reached out and gave her a hug. Rose and I had been friends when we were little girls. Her mom and mine were best friends until we moved away and I kept in touch with her during the summers when I would come and visit. She looked as if she had not changed a bit. Long flowing blonde hair, pericing blue eyes, and a body like a Sports Illustrated model. She was the definition of gorgeous and perfect. Growing up with Rose, all confidence of getting any male attention went straight out the window because all eyes were on her.

"How are you?" she asked me.

"I'm good. Just got here last night."

"Really? Well we need to catch up its been forever." There was a crash in the next isle followed by lold laughter. We both looked over and she just waved it off.

"Yeah that would be nice." Happy that we were in front of the canned green beans I began putting them in my cart.

"Rose!" I heard someone shout from the other end of the isle. "If you don't get this grizzy man under control I'm selling him to the circus!" I looked around her and saw too men coming towards us. One was massive. He had dark brown hair and muscle galore. I was a bit terrified of him. He had the other one in a headlock.

"Emmett! Knock it off! We are in the store. I swear sometimes your such a child." Rose looked back at me. "Sorry about them. Boys get over here I have someone I want you to meet." The big guy released the other one as they got to us. He straightened himself up and looked at me. If I was not hanging on to my cart I was sure that I would have fallen backwards from his beauty. He had copper colored messy hair that I instantly wanted to drag my fingers in. He was not as muscular as the giant but you could see through his thigh shirt that he was very defined. He chin line was like one I had never seen before, so perfect, I wanted to lick it. When I finally meet his eyes, my breath was taken away. They were a shade of green that were almost emerald. I had never seen such a gorgeous color.

I quickly looked took my eyes away before I started drooling.

"Bella, this monster here is Emmett, my boyfriend." Rose pointed out. "Emmett this is Bella, her and I grew up together when we were younger."

"Bella?" He reached his hand out for me to shake. "OH! Bella! The one that you have the pictures with of when you were younger dressed up as fairies or some shit."

"I was Tinkerbell thank you ever much and she was Thumbelina." I let go of his hand as my face turn read with the humiliation of people actually seeing those pictures.

"And Bella, this is Edward, Emmett's brother." Rose pointed to the hot one.

"Hi." I reached out to his hand.

"Hello." He reasoned, his voice was soft and calm; a voice that I would want to whisper hot dirty things to me in my ears. His hand came out and grabbed my to shake. As soon as they met I almost pulled away. It was almost as if he shocked me. There was an electricity pull between us. Trying to not be rude I only held on for a second before pulling my hand back. Not sure what had just happened.

"Anyways, like I was saying. Bella we are all going to out to the bar tonight since everyone will back in town. It would give us a chance to hang out and catch up. I also know that you are not going to want to spend too much time alone with your dad. So what to do you day?"

"Sure." She had me at bar.

"Great. Jasper will be getting in later this afternoon and he is going to be thrilled to see you again!"

"Awe. Jasper's coming to?" Jasper is Rosalie's old brother. When I was younger I thought that there was no one hotter then him other then Brad Pitt. Well that was until I saw Edward today.

"Yeah he will be there. Also you will get to meet Emmett and Edwards sister, Alice. You will just love her. She's a bit much to take but she's awesome. So how about we pick you up at seven? You are at your dads right?"

"Yeah, seven sound good." I gave her a hug and thanked her for the invite.

"See you tomorrow Bell." Emmett rubbed the top of my head.

How could someone that big be so damn playful?

"It was nice to meet you." Edward held he hand back out for me to shake and I took it again.

There it was again!

I think that he felt it too because his beautiful eyes got big for a second.

Once they walked away I quickly got everything else that I needed and rushed to pay and get back to my car. If I was going to go out tonight that meant that I had a lot to do. I had dinner to make and I had to start unpacking.

When I got to the house there was a note on the table from Charlie that he had to run into work for a little bit because of a call that he got. I really needed to teach that man to text and up to date on cell phones.

As I put was putting the groceries away and leaving out what I needed for dinner tonight I was actually excited for the night. I found myself doing something that I had not done in a long time.

I was genuinely, for no reason, smiling.
