Enchanted- Taylor Swift

Sorry for the wait. So I now changed my schedule. This is Enchanted. I love this song so much :D.

I hope this story 'Enchants' you. Lol. (Just Kiddin'! I'm not a good enough writer for that, but I try.)

Summary/Information:

Rating: K(though I wonder if 5 year olds can actually read this)

AU/AH Bella goes off to college, Never met Edward and is lonely and upset. That is until she met Edward.

Bella's POV-

History really repeats itself. I was being sent off alone, again. A few years back I was sent off to boarding school, alone and lonely.

Now I'm being sent to college, alone and lonely.

I walked in to my dorm. It was actually quite pretty, but to me it looked just like the room I had in boarding school. The same old lifeless, tired place. Just like the walls around my heart, insincere, inanimate. Like a doll.

I unloaded my things, stacking them in neat piles to be put away. I was just finishing unpacking but I stopped when I got to the very bottom of my suitcase. A white envelope. I picked it up and ran my finger over the elegant script that belonged to my mother.

I sighed, this happens every time my parents leave me.

They would leave me a letter, or a voicemail, expecting me to accept it and everything is going to be better. But it doesn't, I just don't have the heart to tell them that. No matter if my heart is frozen, they're my parents.

I carefully peeled off the tab of the envelope. I have a bunch of these things from my mom and dad, notes, letters, all insincere 'sorry' and 'I love you, but this is for the best' notes. It's a growing collection.

I started reading.

Dear My Beautiful Daughter,

How are you in college? I bet it's more fun than waiting for me and your father to come home, huh?

It would always start like this. Implying guilt, superficial greetings. I sighed and continued scanning around looking for the excuse this time.

Then I heard the door open and I almost jumped out of my skin. I quickly tucked the letter back into the envelope and put it under my pillow.

My dorm-mate or roommate or whatever you want to call it came in and I almost laughed.

She was like a little girl.

Jet black hair cropped short, a sharp nose, and mischievous eyes, and a small frame to top it off.

She was lugging a big pink suitcase, huffing and heaving dramatically.

Then she noticed me and almost dropped the suitcase.

The pixie like girl bound forward and waved in my face. 'Wow, she's quick' I thought.

She grinned, revealing pearly white teeth.

"Hi! I'm Alice! You must be my new roommate! We're are gonna have SO much fun! Wow! Your skin is so pretty! You HAVE TO tell me how you got it that way!" She squealed, babbling a bit. I wondered a second if she had ADHD or something. (No offense to those of you who do. I have a bunch of friends with ADD and ADHD. Don't get mad!)

"Hi, Alice. I'm Bella. Thanks, I just use a lot of lotion." I said, smiling a fake smile as she paused and looked me up and down. I began to feel a bit self-conscious.

"Hmmm.." She hummed as she cocked her head to the side. I coughed, uncomfortable.

She was starting to creep me out...

"Hey Alice! Get the heck outta Wonderland!" I joked and snapped my fingers in her face.

She blinked out of her trance and her grin popped back, full force.

I raised an eyebrow questioning.

"Okay! Let me unpack then I want you to meet some people." She tittered

I nodded and took out the letter and put it under my pillow.

"What's that!" She popped up behind me.

I jerked then said "It's just a letter from my mom"

Her smile faltered a little. "You're so lucky you have a mom. I was adopted. My adopted siblings are the people I want you to meet. By the way, you ready?" She asked. I swore I felt her happiness radiating off her.

I nodded. She grabbed my hand and pulled me with her.

We walked to the lunchroom in building B, talking about our classes, clubs and other stuff.

The room was hustle and bustle, considering it was the first day of the semester and it was lunch time.

I grabbed a tray of food and so did Alice as she looked for her siblings. They were sitting in a table by a large window.

I was surprised at the number of siblings had.

There was a big masculine guy with black curly that I would've have been scared of, if it wasn't for his kind teddy bear eyes.

Next to him was a gorgeous blond, with icy blue eyes, that made me cringe inwardly.

Then there was a tan brown-haired guy who by the first look, I knew he had a country accent. He had a dress shirt with a freshly popped collar and 'Arizona Tie'(Polo tie) with loose slacks. Definitely Southern.

Across from him was a boy so handsome that it made me heart thud. He had unruly copper as a penny hair, piercing emerald eyes and defined jaw.

I gave a shy smile and waved. "Hi. I'm Isabella, but go by Bella."

They smiled at me warmly and introduced themselves.

The masculine one was Emmett. "Well! Awright! You'll fit right in!"

The Blond one was Rosalie, "Hello. We welcome you" she said cooly.

The southern one was Jasper who did indeed have a heavy southern accent, "Greetin's! Nice addition to our little group here"

Then the handsome one was Edward, "Hello, Bella. I'm Edward" He said with a dazzling smile.

I felt the walls of insincerity crumble with his words. I smiled a real smile as I sat down next to Alice and Across from him.

I opened my food and started munching down. It was great.

"So, what classes are you taking, Bella?" Asked Edward.

I swallowed, "I'm trying to get a degree in writing or things in that category. How about you?" I said, wiping my mouth with the napkin.

"I want to be a reporter, but anything along those lines would be nice." He replied and I nodded.

"Where are you guys from? I'm from the dreary little town of Forks, Washington." I said pointing at my old track sweatshirt with the Forks logo embroidered there.

They nodded.

Alice spoke first, "My biological parents were from New York. I grew up there in a foster home but then I was adopted and we all moved to Illinois."

I nodded. "I was from Kansas. My parents died from a hurricane. I was adopted and I got pretty damaged by the hurricane" Jasper said pointing to some scars an his arm. I told him I was sorry but he just shrugged.

"I was from up in Maine but we moved to Canada. My parents died my a ravage bear attack. I was saved by a park ranger and was adopted. I still like hunting bears just to get back at them" Emmett said grinning as if he was talking about anything else that wasn't his parent's death.

I bit my lip, not knowing how to respond to that.

Luckily I didn't have to. Rosalie talked. "My family was from Virginia. My family didn't want me. I was an ugly baby they thought. They gave me away to my current parents. That's why I where make-up and always want to look my best. Even though my best wasn't enough for my biological parents" She muttered, wiping away some tears that leaked through her blue eyes. She was pulled into a one sided hug by Emmett.

"I'm sorry Rosalie." I said solicitously.

She gave a weak smile then looked at Edward.

"I was from Chicago, IL. My dad died from a heart attack, and my mom committed suicide because of grief." Edward said, forlorn.

I patted his hand, and he held it, jolting me with electricity.

I tensed and let go.

After lunch Alice and I chilled at our dorm.

Then it was time for clubs. I went to writing club and she went to fashion club.

There I met Edward. He looked surprised to see me, but perked up when he saw me.

"Fancy seeing you here, Isabella" He said in a fake English accent.

I rolled my eyes. " Same here, Edward, dearest" I countered.

He smiled good-naturally. Then he poked me and said "You're it!" I chased him around the room. We were early so no odd looks from anyone.

We talked about anything and everything, trying to get to know each other better.

Afterwards, I tried to find one word for it, but they all fell inadequate. The only word I had for it was 'enchanting'.

We were razzing each other constantly, countering each other quickly, like passing notes back in grade school.

It was all very enchanting.

After club, I went outside to the hall and saw a bulletin board for events. Book club, Nah. Art galla, Pass. Freshman Welcome Star Grazing Event, Maybe.

Edward caught me looking at it, then he asked me if I wanted to go with him.

I smiled and nodded timidly.

The night was gorgeous. The stars were sparkling as Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, Edward and I looked at them.

"Aw! Eddie's got a crush!" raved Emmett. Even in the dark I could see Edward's face head up all the way to the tips of his ears.

"I do not!" He protested. I have to admit that hurt a bit.

The rest of the night was spectacular and I walked back with Alice, blushing unnamed shades of red. I was wonder-struck. I wouldn't let this moment let go. I'll spend forever wondering if he knew I thought it was enchanting.

I fell asleep thinking of Edward, but at 2 AM his words to Emmett kept echoing in my head. "I do not!" I do not! I do not!

Who does he love then? Who? Who?

That lingering question kept me up. I would wonder until I was wide awake.

I wish he would come to my door. I was pacing back and forth.

If he did come, I would open up and he would tell me it was 'enchanting'.

I was crouched on my bed, head crouched down. That was me praying that this was only the first page of the story of Edward and I.

Hoping that this isn't where the story-line cuts short.

My thoughts echoed Edward's name, taunting me until I see him again.

Please don't be in love with someone else...

Please don't have somebody waiting on you...

Those are the words I'll never tell him.

I leaned back onto my pillow and heard the paper crunch. Mom's letter!

I opened it and the small lamp next to me.

Dear My Beautiful Daughter,

How are you in college? I bet it's more fun than waiting for me and your father to come home, huh?

I hope you find 'the one'. I hope he will love you more than anything else. I'm sorry we burdened you with the sadness. I'm sorry for never being there. You deserve the attention, the love more than anyone. Please don't close everyone out of your life. It was my fault for that, I'm so sorry. I know you hate me and Charlie, and we don't blame you. Have a great time in college, just don't forget about us. Even though we were never there for you. Just, please don't take it out on other people. Me and Charlie both love you so much. Don't cut us from your life. We think of you every single day.

Each day I regret losing you. You were my baby girl, we had jobs. We would've quit, but we wanted you to have a bright future. I guess that one backfired, huh?

I'm sorry. But this is all coming from the bottom of my contrite heart.

Love,

Your remorseful mother.

Tears flooded my vision. I quickly wiped them away. I guess I wasn't the only one crying, parts of the paper were crisp, dried tears.

For the first time tonight, I felt love and sympathy for my parents.

For the first time tonight, I felt loved by my parents.

For the first time tonight, I agreed with my mom. I was in love.

I folded up the paper, and dreamt of Edward, heart happy at last.

Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you

This was um, A very long story...

Sorry? But I loved it. How about you?

R&R please?

I'll update sooner ;)
