Chapter 3

It had been several weeks since I had first said Edward's name again and it had taken its toll on me. Now, not only was I even more depressed when I was alone thinking about Edward, I was also mega depressed when I was with other people. That is, until one day, I received a letter in the mail from my grandma. She lives in Forks, Washington, it's some rainy little town near Port Angeles and I love visiting there, but I don't get to see her much. I haven't gone back to Forks since the year the Cullens came to Lincoln Park actually. My grandpa just died a few months ago and everyone back home in New Jersey feels that she needs someone out their living with her. Her and I have been writing to each other and the topic of me moving in with her had come up. She seemed all for it but didn't want to take me away from my friends and I wasn't sure if I was ready to leave them, especially James, because they have been my support group for so long. If I wasn't positive I wanted to go before, this letter sealed the deal. It read:

Dear my angel Jaeyla,

I know we have been discussing you coming to live in little old Forks Washington but you weren't sure if you were ready to leave your friends. I also know you had been telling me a great deal about that boy you fancied a while back, Edgar or whatever his name is, and that you are missing him. But the boy in this article seems a great deal like your man, and he is your age!!! Anyway, I thought you'd find this boy…I mean…article interesting. Anyway, I hope to see you soon.

Love always,

Nana

One look at the article and I was ready to pack my bags for Forks. The boy in the article didn't merely look like Edward, it WAS Edward. The article talked about him saving the life of some girl, Bella Swan I think, from an out of control van (typical Edward lol). He was there, in Forks Washington, in the same town as Nana, and I had the opportunity to go and live there. Finally, I had the chance to talk to him, and find out what was his real reason for leaving because my heart told me that his feelings towards me weren't only an act resulting from a bet. The bond we had shared was real and I was determined to seek the truth buried in the lies.

Leaving my friends, to put it simply, was a bitch. They were all gathered at the airport waving goodbye to me as I boarded the plane to Washington. None of them had argued with me leaving…well except James…because they all understood why I had to leave. Truly, deep down, none of them really believed I was only a bet to Edward either. They had seen us go from acquaintances to good friends, to the best of friends, to an 'item'. So they all were happy I'd get a chance at an explanation. In fact, most of them had even encouraged me to go. But now, I was officially leaving. Leaving my friends, my family, my HOME and all for what? A guy who might not even love me anymore. It might not make sense to most people, but I knew I HAD to do this.

The flight seemed to take forever and the taxi ride from Seattle into Forks, forever and a day. Nana was out of town for the weekend, but I had assured her it was all ok. I finally reached her house, same as it had always been, and let myself in with my spare key. There was a letter on the kitchen counter for me. It read:

Dear my angel Jaeyla,

Again I am SOOOOO sorry I could not be here for your arrival today (perhaps a shopping spree when I get back will make up for it). Anyway, I have enrolled you in Forks High School. I know it is public, not private school, but it is the closest school and more students attend it. The kitchen is stocked with food, and help yourself to anything you need (including as much $ as is needed). I cannot wait to see you on Wednesday!

Love,

Nana

P.s The red corvette in the driveway is for you darling. Your grandfather had been saving up for a while to get it for you. WELCOME HOME SWEETIE

"What to do with myself until Nana gets back??" I asked myself after I had unpacked all of my stuff. "I know, I'll go and find the Cullens. It's sunny out, well sunny enough that they won't be able to be seen outside, so they will be home. Only problem is, where IS home exactly?" I continued to think aloud.

(Ok boring again I know but I'm sry but it gives info nd reasons as to things like why Nana isn't in the story yet nd shit…O YA nd it sets the scene for the next chapter…one of the ones I really 3 nd pleez review…flames are welcomed to but I would like it if we could all share the 3 nd not totally rip my baby 2 shreds)
