AN: Hey again, sorry it took so long to update this, I have had so much on. Anyway, here is the first chapter.

DISCLAIMER: everything belongs to the amazing Stephenie Meyer. Well, the characters do. The plot is mine.

Some Friend – Chapter One

One year later

'Alice!'

She pouted at me. Nobody could resist that face. Somehow, she managed to combine sweet, innocent and adorable all in the same look. 'Please Bella; you really, really, really need this dress!'

Since Carlisle had changed me, I had changed my name to Isabella. Isabelle reminded me too much of the night of my death. I shook myself out of the past and glanced down at the dress Alice was holding in her hand. It was long with a large puffy skirt. The dark blue made the silver decoration stand out.

'Alice, where would I wear it?

'You will just have to wait and find out!' she said happily, skipping to the checkout. 'You won't regret this Bella!'

'I better not!' I warned her.

'You won't regret what?' asked Rosalie, coming up behind me.

'Alice insisted on buying me a prom dress. I won't wear it.'

Rosalie laughed a loud tinkling noise.

'It's not funny!' I whined. 'Alice will probably play Barbie Bella later. She will have bought me hundreds more clothes!'

Alice chose that moment to appear and stuck her pointy tongue out at me.

'Come on, we should head back. Carlisle has something he wants to tell us,' she told us, throwing us each our shopping bags. 'Home!'

'WHAT?!'

'I know you have a lot of bad memories there, Bella, but we need to move soon. We were going to move to Forks just before you died anyway. Esme has chosen and decorated the house, and we are all ready to go,' Carlisle told me softly.

I stood up suddenly, fire blazing in my eyes as I walked to the door. I turned at the door way.

'Fine. We go to Forks. Just don't expect me to be civil.'

I ran upstairs to my room and flung myself onto the sofa. They expected me to go back to Forks where my 'best friend' was. Oh, and the small matter of my killers. And my father, who was bound to recognise me. Angry, I got up and leapt out of the window. I ran, faster than I have ever run before. When I finally got to my meadow, I slumped against the nearest tree and burst into tearless sobs. I did not want to go and face my murderers. I had only just passed my first year as a newborn, I didn't know if my self control was very good yet. So much so, I didn't know if I would kill the killers as soon as I saw them.

'I thought you could use a friend.'

I fell into a crouch immediately. Emmett stood before me. I straightened up at once.

'How did you find me here?' I hissed.

'I followed your scent,' he said, sitting down next to me. 'Don't worry, no one else knows your here.'

I smiled slightly. 'Sorry.'

'It's okay Bella. Do you want to tell me why you are so creeped out about going to Forks? When Carlisle brought you home, he didn't tell us anything only that you would be staying with us unless you chose a different path. Alice squashed that thought at once of course. And then, when you woke up, you just told us to call you Bella and that you were seventeen years old. That is all we know.'

I sighed. 'It's a long story, but I will tell you anyway.'

'I had a good life. My parents got along well with each other, and I had an amazing best friend. Edward was always there and in return, I was there for him. When I was fifteen, my mother died of cancer. I was heartbroken, but I couldn't properly grieve for because I had to support Charlie, my dad. Edward helped me get through my pain and made me understand that I could help my dad, and help myself at the same time.

I survived my mum's death, even though we were really close. However, when we turned sixteen, he started behaving weirdly. I was never one of the most popular people, so the 'populars' picked on me. And suddenly, they decided Edward was popular too. And before you knew it, he wasn't my best friend anymore. It was little things at first. Forgetting to pick me up before school. Pretending not to hear me when I called. Not picking up the phone when he saw my name flashing on screen. Things like that. And then one day, he did wait for me. I was late out, because my teacher kept me behind to deal with some work. The parking lot was empty when I got out, except for a few lone cars. Edward was waiting in the far corner, but so where some of his new friends. I won't give you the details, but a fight broke out. I accidently badmouthed one of the cheerleaders. She ordered the boys to get me.'

I noticed at this point Emmett's hands looked in danger of breaking the nearest tree and decided to skip this part as well.

'Anyway, they left me for dead. I awoke to a cold and empty parking lot. I thought I was going to die, and how much it would kill Charlie. And then I saw the flash of gold. It was Carlisle's eyes of course. Alice also appeared. In the end, Carlisle transformed me. And then I came here.'

By the end of my tale, Emmett looked as if he would kill the next living thing that crossed his path.

'When we get to Forks, I am going to tear them limb from limb. No one treats my sister like that. No one.'

I laid a soothing hand on his arm. 'Don't worry Emmett. It is in the past, and I am ready to ignore them. Even Edward.'

'I can do this.' I muttered to myself. We had moved to Forks just under three days ago, and for the first time in a year, I was forced to face my killers. I knew from what I had researched, that nobody was ever accused of my murder. After my funeral, Charlie had absorbed himself in his work. He never spoke to anyone anymore, he just worked. I felt so guilty for doing that to him before I remembered it was not my fault Lauren and her gang killed me.

'Come on Bella!' Alice called getting out of Rosalie's BMW. Using Em's shoulder, I climbed carefully down from his Jeep. Looking around, I noticed little had changed except for a small name plate next to the main office. I zoomed in on it and realized it was a sign for me.

'Hey, Rose, Alice, have you seen that?' I asked, pointing.

Alice chuckled. ''In memory of Isabelle Swan, a much loved daughter and friend. Her life was taken from her on the 12th December at this school. The people who snuffed out such a life will live in pain and guilt forever.''

I grinned. 'And I sure hope they do.'

Suddenly I sniffed. When Edward and I were little, we had always joked about how we would smell. I don't even know why we did, we just did. He said I would smell of freesias and strawberries while I said he would smell of honey and lilac and sunshine. I turned around in time to see Edward get out of his Volvo. My eyes immediately turned pitch black. Anger coursed through my body. I wanted nothing more than to go and rip Edward apart. Jasper, sensing my emotions, jumped at me and restrained me.

'Bella, killing him will not change what has happened,' he said, pouring calming waves on top of me.

I breathed in deeply through my nose. 'I know. Let's get going.'
