A/N: So, I got net access faster than I thought I would. I am so glad that ya'll seem to be enjoying this story. With that in mind, I present to you Chapter 4. I would like to thank WannabeAuthor2545, huskeylove97, YesReally, and skye glass for joining the Favorite/Follow party. And if someone would be kind enough to be my first reviewer, I will be glad to reward everyone with Chapter 5 just as quickly as possible. And if I get more than one review, I might even post the first chapter from one of the other fics that I've already finished...
Disclaimer: It's mine... all mine... maybe... possibly... nope, not even close. Dang it!
From Everything to Nothing – Chapter 4
With the help of Sue and what was left of the Forks Police Department a funeral was arranged for 3 days later. It was a quiet service attended by almost every member of Forks and representatives from Police stations all over the state and as far away as Canada and California.
Bella kept herself together and put in even more effort to her school work and by the end of the school year she was graduating with honors. She was also the only person in the class that didn't have a single family member in the audience to see her receive her diploma. There was a large group to see her though; the entire pack was there with their imprints and families. They had never been prouder of their little sis than they were that night.
Bella received several letters of acceptance from universities all over the country and she finally decided on going to Dartmouth. She had two months to get herself all packed up, do something with the house, and move across country before she started school. She decided to rent the house out to Sam and Emily since their house was falling down around them and she knew that they would take care of the place for her. She also decided that she would take 2 weeks for the drive cross country so with her car packed up and everything else boxed up and in the attic she said goodbye to her friends and climbed into her car.
The drive was interesting and she saw a lot of sights that she would never have seen if she had flown, but the trip was long and the first thing she did when she got in the room was to call Jake and Billy and let them know where she was and that she was doing alright. She never called Renee and never got any calls from her. Bella was alone now and had to learn how to be a survivor, she had a bad year but it had made her into the person she was always meant to be. She was strong, sure, able to take on any task, a survivor that she could be proud of.
Little did she know what she was headed into when she reached school. She already had her dorm assignment and knew she had two roommates but didn't know anything about them including their names. Who knows maybe she would be able to make some new friends. Until then she still had a long road to travel.
After almost two weeks Bella finally pulled into the college grounds. She drove around a little till she found her dorm building and proceeded to start unloading her car. After checking into the dorm and getting her room key Bella made her way up to her new home. There was music playing from inside and the first thought that went thru Bella's mind was that at least they liked the same kind of music. She opened the door and found her bedroom and went in without seeing anyone. After she got everything unloaded and put away she finally went hunting for her roommates.
