Chapter 7: a new life

EPOV

Over the summer I had changed back into an average teenager. I no longer slept around and severed all ties with my old life. Emmett understood my change but still questioned it.

"Why did you change? You had all the girls at your feet," he had stated.

"It wasn't the direction I wanted my life to go. I had lost all my friends and my sister barely talks to me anymore." I knew Emmett would understand- he was really just a teddy bear at heart.

Alice and I had grown closer over the summer. Once I had changed back to my normal self she was happy to talk to me. Of course she went and visited Bella during the break but only for a couple of weeks. We had cleared our rooms out and packed our suitcases. We were both looking forward to the college life and finding out what cars dad had brought us.

When we found our flat both of our mouths dropped open, we couldn't stop looking at the cars parked in front. I was amazed, there sat a silver Volvo and a yellow Porsche. We made our way inside and found two letters addressed to both of us. We both opened them eagerly. I discovered that the Volvo was mine, and the Porsche belonged to Alice. They were perfect. I could imagine both of us driving in these cars. Once we had gotten over the shock we called dad and thanked him. It was the best start to college life anyone could ask for.

I had decided to stay near my mum, so I went to the local university. It was nothing special, but it was close to home so I didn't have to live in dorms or rent an apartment. Alice and I had spent a couple of weeks together in the summer before college started but it wasn't as long as we normally spend together. I knew that she had to get ready for college too so it didn't really bother me that much.

I had decided to attend Arizona State University, ASU for short. I am going to be studying journalism and mass communication. I always enjoyed reading and wanted to write. My main goal was to write a novel but I thought I would start off with journalism and see where it takes me. I don't really want to work in the gossip arena, I would much prefer a serious newspaper, maybe the LA Times. I knew that I wanted to travel and journalism would help me to discover the world.

Alice had told me she was attending Berkley with Edward. I only discovered the fact that Edward would be there by mistake. Alice had been telling me about her flat and how many rooms it had. I had asked her how she was going to pay the rent and that's when she let it slip.

"Edward is living with me silly," she had said but once she realised what she said she covered her mouth. She knew that I didn't want to hear about Edward, but I knew it was just a mistake. I was actually a little curious as to where he would be going to college. The scary thing was that we would be the closest we have been in years. We would be one state away from each other. Alice had told me it was only a six-hour drive from LA to Phoenix. She had planned to come down and visit me often. Now that I knew Edward would be with her, I knew that I would not reciprocate.

I had thought little of Edward over the years, however he had always been deep in my subconscious. I hadn't seen him since I left Forks all those years ago. I had changed since then and I wondered if he was the same Edward I left behind? The player? I had missed my best friend, but knew that he was lost. He had treated me so badly once I started dating Mike that I didn't think I could forgive him. Now looking back I think it was stupid of me to loose my best friend over some boy. And that boy had turned out to be a real loser. I feel that maybe my life would have been different if I hadn't dated Mike. Would Edward and I still be friends?

But I had made up my mind when I left Forks to not dwell on the past and only look to the future. College was going to be a new and exciting adventure for me. My dad had brought me a truck for graduation and shipped it down to me. It was a red Chevy. I loved it. It had been remodelled in order to boost the power. This however did not help it with speed. The fastest it could go was 50 miles. It didn't really bother me because as the daughter to a chief of police I didn't drive recklessly.
