BPOV:

Four years ago my beloved mother died of breast cancer. My father, Charlie, and I were left to fend for ourselves. Everyone we knew stopped talking to us knowing that if they did, the case of my mother would come up. At first I thought they were cowards. Spineless no good cowards, but I noticed that maybe they were right not to talk.

Charlie was also starting to notice this, what with his awkward conversations with the police force. And so he came to a conclusion. We were to move away to a smaller town and start over…. all over.

Forks was our destination. Any normal nine-year-old would of kicked and screamed that they didn't want to go to a town where it was literally nowhere. But I didn't want to disappoint my father and I was growing tired of sympathetic stares and awkward silences.

Our first year at Forks was successful. I made new friends and Charlie started as a police officer on the field and quickly ranked to chief. I was happy, but the memory of my mother still haunted me. I had thought that my father had moved on, but his silent sobs could be heard throughout our little home.

For a while my heart was black. My dreams were black as well, they soon became nightmares and sounds of hatred I would suffocate once morning reached the horizon. I would still hear the echoes from those nightmares even after I woke up. I tried my best to hide the bitterness of those memories when I was in public and I would do so successfully. I never completely got over this. A large part of my soul was forever tainted.

Or so I had thought…………

"Happy Birthday Bells!!!!!!!"

Groan.

"Awww c'mon honey the least you can do is open your eyes and look at your cake. Its your favorite. Blue icing and stuffed with strawberry preserves!"

I reluctantly got up and saw a cake set in front of me with fifteen candles, all set and lighted, stabbed into it.

"Yeah…I'm a year closer to death. Happy Birthday to me."

Charlie frowned and I immediately felt bad.

"But its wonderful Dad, I love it" I quickly said.

His smile returned and I let out a small sigh of relief.

It's the morning of my fifteenth birthday and I have to go to school which means Jessica will probably make the entire student body sing "Las mananitas" for me. If not that, I bet my dad told the entire town it was my birthday and they are all outside my house ready to give me a ride to school……..on a rose parade float………. Its happened before.

Charlie had started talking and I removed the involuntary scowl on my face.

"Make a wish and blow the candles!" he said with a little too much enthusiasm.

I blew the candles not really caring if I made a wish or not. Charlie gave me a smile that gave me no choice but to smile back.

"Get ready for school and meet downstairs so you can eat your birthday breakfast and open your presents." and with that he left my room. Leaving me with the horror of guessing what mess he made in the kitchen making breakfast.

I got off the bed, stood up, and walked to my dresser. I figured that since its my birthday someone is gonna give me crap about not looking decent enough on my birthday. So I took out my best outfit. It was a tight navy blue sweater and a short black pencil skirt that was five inches above my knees, matched with navy blue tights and white boots with thick heels. Its was a combination of the presents Angela and Jessica got me last Christmas. It'll make them happy and give me the security of not getting cold stares for the time being.

I brushed my hair and put a white headband on it. I headed to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and went downstairs.

I almost collapsed laughing at the sight before me. Charlie had on my apron that had a picture of a chicken laying an egg on it, and he was placing a plate with a burnt omelet and burnt bacon on the side.

"I wanted to make breakfast but I guess not." he said with a shy smile. I walked over, sat down, and drowned the meal in ketchup. I began eating. It wasn't that bad.

All the while, Charlie was watching with a big grin on his face. Once I was done we went outside to go to school. That is Charlie drops me off in his cruiser. When we got to the school we were greeted by my friends Jessica, Angela, Mike, and Erick. Charlie left, leaving me with my friends.

"Hey Bella! Happy Birthday!" Mike exclaimed. Soon all of them said the same thing. I put on my best fake smile and received each of their hugs.

We walked off after talking, or at least hearing Jessica talk, about the birthday party after school. Thank god it was Friday, or I would of cancelled it and be, yet again, the party pooper.

Morning classes were a droll. I kept nodding off in each class. Making the teachers really mad at me. I walked towards the cafeteria. I got my tray filled it with fruit and a cola, then walked towards our table. The girls were already talking about decorations, gifts and who was going to be there. I sat down on the chair mike had pulled out for me. It was no secret the Mike had a thing for me and I was used to it now. We ended up going out for some months but decided to break it off. But we are still friends and unfortunately he still likes me. You can tell I was the one who suggested breaking it off.

"…….and Daddy says they moved in just today!", said Jessica, being her gossipy self as always.

"Oh how exciting!", gushed Angela.

That's strange. Angela has never been this excited about a new student.

"Who're you guys talking about?", I asked feeling curious, "A new student?"

"More like students." answered Erick.

"Jessica says her Daddy," mocked Mike, "has already met them and that we're gonna have five new kids here soon."

"Five? That's a lot of kids.", I said having a bewildered expression on my face.

"Yeah and each one of them is adopted too." whispered Jessica.

"But who would adopt so many kids?", I asked.

"Apparently a doctor and his wife." said Angela.

"Hmmm….", was all I could say.

After school I was picked up by Charlie and got the same teasing as always about how I seem to keep getting arrested. Charlie always picked me up on his cruiser…….with the lights ON!!!!

On the way there, Charlie asked me about something I had heard before.

"So did you hear about Dr. Cullen and his family moving in?"

"Yeah, Jessica was talking about that at lunch.", I said.

"Promise you won't get mad.", he said.

Why would I be…!

"Oh my god!!! You set the house on fire!?!"

"What?! No!!! Of course not! I'm police officer for Christ's sake!"

"Yeah well even the detective in 'The Pink Panther' has set things on fire before!"

Charlie sighed and I relaxed by inhaling and slowly exhaling.

"Look", Charlie said calmly, "I was going to tell you that I invited Dr. Cullen and their family to your birthday party."

"Oh, well that's nothing! Of course they can come!", I said.

"Yeah, they have the most adorable little girl around your age. She asked me for your size on clothes and shoes.", he said. Suddenly his expression became protective and he said, " But I'm not sure about the boys though, they look a little big for their age. Especially that large one called Emmet. He looks like he lives on steroids."

"Oh.", was all I could say before we got to our house.

I went upstairs to get ready and in half an hour Angela and Jessica were already at the front step. I greeted them and told them what Charlie had mentioned. They squealed of course when I told them about the one called Emmet.

An hour had past and the place was already packed. I was serving people when Charlie had called me out from the crowd.

"Bella! Come and say hi to the Cullens.", he said.

My stomach flipped. I hated meeting new people, but I weaved through a group of adults talking and laughing. Then I was met with seven pairs of gold eyes.
