People spoke of having a "summer of firsts." 2011 was my summer of lasts.

Two months before my eighteenth birthday, my mother said she was going to Europe with some guy she'd just met. I never heard from her again.

It was the last time I slept in my childhood bed. When Dad and Sue married, they wanted a fresh start, and they bought one of those new houses outside of town.

But it was also the summer of my last first kiss. My last boyfriend. The last time I fell in love.

Edward Cullen was my first and last.
