A/N: JUST KIDDING! I'm really sorry about saying it was over. I thought it'd be sort of funny to see peoples reactions and, although no one was mad at me so far, I feel really bad about it. So, I promise never to do anything like that ever again. Thank you to everyone who wanted to read more and said that I'm a good writer. It REALLY means a lot, keeps me going. The song at the end of the last chapter was "Do you want to know a secret" by the Beatles.

Chapter Ten: First Year

When I landed in Seattle I called up Renée to tell her I wasn't far away.

"I hope you had a good time, dear. You were so upset about going," she said. I held the payphone in place with my chin and shoulder as I dug through my bag. At the bottom I found the letter and the photo album.

"It was awesome, Mom," I said, my smile reaching my eyes. "I have pictures of my friends to show you. I can't wait to go back next year." The other end of the phone was an unusal static quiet. "Mom? You still there?"

"Oh Bella dear... didn't Charlie tell you?" She sounded as confused as me at that moment. "Charlie will be coming here the next few summers, the arrangements have already been made."

The cord kept the phone from hitting the floor.

That had been almost a year ago. Now, at the end of my freshman year I was on the verge of packing my bags for the rainy town in Washington.

Phoenix, my one time sunny haven was now my prison. The lack of clouds and rain kept any vampires away, even if they wanted to be there. I wanted the cold and the unbearably thick, humid air of Forks. I wanted Charlie's house, my small room. I wanted Edward.

On the plane I had read over the letter Alice had written. She had left a long account of the events that summer, and how much she was going to miss me. She also left a threat that if I never used the makeup and clothes she had bought for me, she would track me down and bite me.

That letter was now on the bottom of a drawer in my desk. The photo album was buried underneath the mess on my dresser.

In the new school year I had made a grand total of one friend. She alone knew about Edward, had ogled over pictures of him and the others with me. Jasper was her favorite. Reneée had also seen the pictures of Edward and was very impressed. She and young Phil were pretty serious now, too.

In the first few months I had thought constantly of Edward. A paper written on 'The Perfect Mate' was modeled entirely after him.

But, as school grew increasingly serious, he was a thought that bubbled up when I wasn't expecting it. He was no longer number one on my list.

Now, waiting for Charlie to arrive, I missed him more than ever. I cried over him and nothing I did could get me back to Forks. Finally I decided to enjoy my boring, vampire-free summer with dear old dad.

She wakes up, she makes up,
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry,
She no longer needs you.

And in her eyes you see nothing,
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one,
A love that should have lasted years.

A/N: So I'll probably update again later on tonight... Thanks again and I'm sorry :3 review:D
