Annalee POV

Well today is the day. I am officially leaving for college. My college is in New York and I'm taking quiet a lot with me so myself, my mom, dad, brother and sister were driving. My grandparents Bella and Edward were also coming with us, they were driving my car so I had it with me and coming back with my parents. I think my grampa wanted to find out what the place looked like too seen as though he'd spent so much money sending me here. It would take nearly four days to get their, so we were stopping over in a motels along the way. Nina was going to Yale university which was around an hour and half away from mine, and she started 3days after I did, so after I was settled in everyone was off to new haven so settle her in and then we were both ready to go. Packing up was sad to do, my mom was really trying to hold back the tears helping us, I knew it was harder for her to let nina go than it was for myself. I could protect myself but nina couldn't, i think that's why she was so happy when she got into Yale because she kept saying 'it's not too far from annalee is it'. All my clothes were packed up in my designer cases aunt Alice had brought me back from Italy, and my room was packed up with all the things I was taking from home. The hardest thing to pack us was the pictures I was taking, one of me, mom and dad. Me and my brother and sister. Me and Claire. Me, Claire and Alexa. And then there was all these photographs of me and embry. Looking at them made my heart feel like it was being punched. I hadn't spoken to him since the kiss incident, nor had he made any attempt to talk to me. After my brother had been phased I tried to find out if embry had been phased and what he was thinking but he wouldn't tell me anything. I at least thought he'd come and say goodbye, I mean I wasn't going to be home again until Christmas, if I was really his best friend he'd come and say goodbye! I walked downstairs and my dad was washing the dishes after breakfast.

"Daddy can you help me?" I asked wrapping my arms around his neck standing on my tip toes, he chuckled.

"What do you need sweetie?"

"Will you bring my bags downstairs? Even with my vamp strength there a little heavy" he smiled.

"Sure I'll go get them" I grinned and kissed his cheek.

"Thanks daddy" he went upstairs and I went into the living room. Mom, jett and nina were sat in there waiting for everything to be finished and we would get going.

"You ready?" Mom asked.

"Yeah, dad has just gone to bring my bags down" she smiled and stood up.

"Come on you two, time to get this show on the road" nina and jett stood up and they gathered everything they needed for our journey. While dad and jett lifted everything into the trunk of the cars, I stood on the front porch watching the line of the trees, expecting a any moment for that grey wolf to come out to say goodbye.

"Honey" mom said coming behind me pulling me from my thoughts.

"Yeah?"

"You ok?" I nodded and sighed.

"He didn't even come and say goodbye mom, he really hates me doesn't he" mom shook my head and hugged me.

"Of course he doesn't hate you sweetie, you just took him by surprise is all. Just give it some time ok" I nodded and held back my tears.

"Ok mom" she smiled a little and kissed my cheek, as my brother and sister got into the car.

"Let's go" dad said shutting the trunk of the car. Mom turned to lock the front door and I went and got in. On the first day we drove all the way to Montana which took just under 14hours. Dad, mom and jett all took turns at driving, i would take my own turn tomorrow. We stayed over in a motel which had two beds in. Great. I ended up sharing with nina while mom and dad shared and jett was on the floor, poor jett. We said he could get in with me and nina but the beds weren't all that big so it was easier for him on the floor. On the second day we drove from Montana till Minnesota. That motel was much better and we booked two rooms, one for myself, nina and jett, me and nina shared a bed again but jett got his own. And mom and dad had there own bed. On the third day, we drove from Minnesota till Chicago, this would be our last stop because we were planning on setting off early in the morning and making it too New York tomorrow. When we finally got there I think the exact words to come out of jetts mouth were 'oh my Jesus Christ! This is bigger than the Cullen house!' Which just made us all laugh. There were people everyone handing out packs about new starters.

"Hello honey, can I help you today?" A short blonde haired women said to me.

"Hi, I'm starting here today" she smiled.

"Do you have your enrolment form?" I nodded and handed it to her.

"Ah, you so if you want to take this map" she handed it to me,

"And you are staying in Meredith Willson Residence Hall, so go there and your room is 301. There are packs in there with all the things you need to know for this week" I smiled.

"Thank you" she grinned and ran off to help someone else. Myself, mom and jett walked around to the building but dad drove with nina so it was closer for bringing my things in. I was on the second floor and my room was all the way at the end of the corridor. I unlocked the door and nobody was there yet.

"Home sweet home" I mumbled to myself walking in.

"There's three beds" jett pointed out, I turned around and clapped.

"Well done Einstein, I have roommates" he nodded and turned to mom.

"Is that a good idea?" She smirked as I stepped forward.

"Excuse me?!" He sighed.

"I'm just thinking of you little sis, non of us will be here to watch your back" i growled

"I don't need anyone to 'watch my back' I'll be fine!" He held his hands up in defence.

"Sorry for opening my mouth" I was about to say something else but mom stepped in the middle of us.

"Come on you two enough! Your dads coming up now, so we can get annalee settled in. No arguing ok?" We both sighed.

"Okay mom, I'm sorry" jett said and kissed her cheek.

"Me too" I kissed her cheek too and she smiled.

"Mm my babies" me and jett laughed just as dad and nina came through the door, dad was holding two of my cases and nina was carrying box, which mom quickly took out of her hands as she walked in the door.

"Wow this is nice" dad said putting the cases down.

"Yeah it's cute" I shrugged and opened one of my cases. Nina and mom helped me unpack everything, it didn't take as long as I thought and before I knew it my corner of the room looked friendly, warm and welcoming.

"Knock knock" I turned around to see three guys at my doorway.

"Hi" I waved and walked over.

"Hey, I'm Callum" he motioned to himself "this is Brandon" he pointed and the guy behind him. "and that is Kaine. You knew here?" He pointed to the guy behind them.

"Hi I'm annalee, and yeah. Are you?" They all nodded.

"Yeah, so what you majoring in?" Brandon asked.

"Oh singing, dance and piano" they all smiled.

"And yourselves"

"I'm majoring in guitar and piano" Callum said.

"Piano and singing" Brandon.

"Singing and guitar" Kaine said, once he spoke I gasped. He had a gorgeous British accent.

"That's not an accent you here everyday now is it" jett said coming over to lean against the door frame next to me. Kaine laughed.

"Yeah. Me, my mum, dad, and sister moved to manhattan last year. Due to my dad getting a promotion from his job" I nodded.

"Oh this is my brother jett" jett smiled and waved his fingers at them. The guys looked a little taken back by jett. Any guy would I mean he's 6ft5 and built like a house.

"That is my sister" I pointed to nina who waved politely and looked back to the book she was reading.

"Are you all going here or something?" I laughed and shook my head.

"No. Just me, my sisters going to yale though"

"Wow impressive" Brandon said and she blushed a little and looked away.

"So we just thought we'd introduce ourselves seen as though were going to be neighbours. Our room is right across the hall. Maybe we could catch up later or something once your roommates get here?" Callum suggested.

"Sure, that sounds great. I'll see you later" I smiled and they turned away to leave my doorway.

"Making friends already?" Dad asked smirking.

"Maybe" I said giving him the same look he'd just gave me. He groaned and my mom hugged him.

"Oh poor daddy. His girls are growing up" me and nina laughed and jett coughed loudly.

"Excuse me. His son is growing up too" jett said waving his hands.

"Yes but when his son grows up. He's proud. When his daughters grow up. He buys a shot gun" dad laughed then as did the rest of us.

"Amen to that" grampa said coming through the door holding my keys out to me.

"You never once threatened me with a shot gun Edward" dad said looking up from moms shoulder.

"No maybe not verbally" grandma swatted his arm and he smiled at her lovingly.

"Thank you grampa" I took the keys from his hand and attached my new room keys to them.

"It was my pleasure honey" I smiled and he kissed my hair.

"Well we should go and find our hotel for the night. Let you get your bearings. Call us if you need anything baby, even if it's just to talk" I nodded and hugged my mom tightly.

"I love you my littlest baby" I smiled and wiped my eyes.

"I love you too moma" she hugged me to her chest again, before dad came over and hugged me.

"Any boys that You don't like and won't get the hint, just call me. I'll run all the way here if I must, and rip his tiny head from his shoulders" I giggled.

"I love you daddy"

"I love you too honey"

"I'm gona miss you little sis, who am I gona bug now your gone. And nina's going, damn I'm going to be bored" I laughed.

"I'll miss you too jett" he smiled and bent down, scooped me up and a huge bear hug.

"Tell him I'm sorry" I whispered in his ear. No doubt everyone in the room hear it apart from nina, but nobody said anything. Jett looked at me and nodded slowly.

'Thank you' I mouthed to him.

"Come here you" nina said hugging me close.

"We'll have to see each other as much as possible ok?" I nodded.

"Yeah, I'll come down and see you on weekends and things. It will be great having you just up the road" she laughed.

"I know" we didn't need to say goodbye because I'd be seeing her more than I'd be seeing everyone else.

"Have fun sweetheart. Call anytime" grandma said to me. I nodded.

"I will! I promise"

"Have fun, honey. Study hard. Keep in touch" I nodded.

"I will grampa, I love you both" they smiled at me.

"Come on then, let's head out" dad said and they all nodded.

"We love you sweetheart" mom said again I nodded.

"And I love you too" and at that they all left. From my window I could see them all getting back into the car and driving away. I sighed and sat down on my bed, taking in my surroundings of my new accommodation. I laid back on my new bed and sighed in content. It must of been almost two hours later when I was reading through my new timetable when a girl burst through the door.

"Oh... Hi" she smiled and dropped her case and came over to me holding her hand out.

"Eliza" I took her hand and shook it. She was a very pretty girl. Long straight dark brown hair. Dark brown eyes, her frame was very petite, and her skin was slightly bronzed. She was wearing a crop top, and I could tell she was a dancer, her stomach was toned up and forming abs just like mine. She had perfect white teeth and lightly pink lips.

"Annalee" she smiled.

"Oh what a pretty name" I nodded.

"Yours too"

"You think? I always kind of hated it" I shook my head.

"Nah it's cute" she smiled.

"So is this your first year?" She asked throwing her suitcase up on the empty bed and unzipping it.

"Oh yeah, you?" She nodded.

"Mm, so where you from?"

"Forks, Washington. It's a small town you Proberly haven't-" she turned around smiling.

"Your from forks?" I nodded.

"No way! I'm from port Angeles!" I grinned.

"Are you kidding! We live like an hour away from each other that's crazy!" She laughed.

"I know right" I nodded. I gave her a hand unpacking her things and we chatted some more. About out family's, turns out she has a brother, who's one year younger than her. Lives with her mom, dad took off not long after her little brother was born, they don't see much of him. I told her about my family, using the excuse if she ever met them that my mom and dad were high school sweethearts, then had myself and my siblings very young, didn't want to freak the poor girl out or anything because at a very push my parents could possibly pass for around 30ish.

"Hello" a voice came from the door as it opened. A girl with short curly shoulder length hair came through the door. Her hair was an copper blonde colour with dark roots. Her eyes where an aqua blue and she had bright pink lips. She was also very petite like Eliza.

"Oh someone else" Eliza said clapping.

"I'm Jessica" she said shaking Eliza's hand.

"Well I'm Eliza, and that is annalee" I waved and came over to introduce myself.

"God this is so crazy isn't it" she took the last bed and started taking her things out.

"Yeah I was so nervous before I got here but I feel great now" I told her and she nodded in agreement.

"So what are you two majoring in?" Eliza asked sitting down.

"Dance and drama" Jessica told us.

"What about you annalee?"

"Singing, piano and dance.. You?" She smiled.

"Singing and dance" I grinned.

"Wow where's all doing dance" Eliza pointed out.

"Oh so we are" Jessica said smiling. I had a good feeling about these girls, I could see good friends in the making already.
