DISCLAIMER – I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT. I ONLY OWN MARY SWAN. THIS IS A REVAMPED VERSION OF HOW MY SISTER CHANGED MY LIFE. A BETTER VERSION.

My name is Mary Swan, the younger sister of Bella Swan. My life is about to be turned upside down by her arrival in Forks. When I was just a baby my mother Renee left my father Charlie to go and start a new life. She took Bella with her and left me with my dad. She never really wanted me, it was always Bella. Bella was her favourite; she never really cared for me. Don't get me wrong she would care if I got seriously injured or died... I hope.

So it has just been my and Charlie for the last sixteen years and the occasional summer visits to Phoenix and Bella to Forks. My dad is really excited about her coming to live with us. Sue and I decorated her room so that she may feel more at home here than just a guest, not really wanted. Well not really wanted by me. Bella's room was my old room. My dad wanted to give me the bigger room since he knew how I felt about Bella's arrival. It is on its way to being finished, just need to finish painting it butterfly green.

"Mary, that's me away to the airport to pick up your sister. You sure you don't want to come?" my dad shouted from downstairs.

"No thank-you dad. It would probably be less awkward for Bella if just one of us goes. Don't want to bombard her" I called back.

"Okay then, see you in a bit!"

So here it comes, the start of a new life for me. I just didn't know at that point how big a change it would be.

I heard the cruiser pull up. Here we go. I went downstairs and opened the door to let Bella and my dad in with her stuff. "Hi Bella, how was your flight?" I could be civil to her for Charlie's sake.

"It was okay, thanks for asking Mary" replied Bella without looking at me. Better than nothing I suppose. I followed them upstairs to my old room. "Mary and Sue helped decorate it. The sales lady dropped off the bedding. I hope you like purple" My father said nervously.

"Yeah it's good, perfect even. Thanks guys" Bella replied looking around. She and dad are quite similar with their awkwardness. "Well, we'll leave you to it Bell's" my dad said leaving the room. "Yeah" Bella replied looking round at me. I nodded and gave her a smile before leaving her room. If only she knew that another surprise awaited her, one that I also helped out in.

I was outside when Jacob and his dad pulled up with the old red truck that Jacob and I fixed up together. "Bella, I want you to come and meet someone!" my dad called as he came out of the house and joined me, Billy and Jacob. Bella didn't take too long in coming out. She walked over to us and stood beside our dad. "Bella do you remember my friend Billy?" dad asked her. She looked at Billy with recognition "From the reservation?" she asked Billy. He nodded and smiled. "You're looking good" she commented with a smile. Maybe Bella moving in with us wouldn't be so bad.

"Do you remember Jacob, Billy's son? Me, you and him used to play together in the summer?" I asked her. She nodded and looked at Jacob. "We made mud cakes when we were little" she stated. Jacob and I smiled at the memory. Jacob and I have been best friends since we were babies. Since dad went down to the reservation quite a lot the two of us were just pushed together and got on together. "So Bell's, how do you like your homecoming present?" dad asked her.

"Really? This is for me?" she replied shocked.

"Do you like it?" dad pressed.

"Yes, it's perfect" she gushed.

"Let me show you how to work it" Jacob said to Bella whilst gesturing to the truck. As Bella opened the driver door she bumped Jacob with it. "Sorry" she said as I stifled a giggle. They were so awkward together, it was cute.

When they came back out, they were smiling and dad and Billy were fighting on the road. "Are they always like this?" Bella asked.

"Yep!" I said with my arms crossed looking at the two them being stupid.

"It's gotten worse with old age" Jacob commented...

It's the first day of school. Why do I have to get out of bed? It's just so comfy. "Mary, are you up yet?" called dad as he was walking down the hall. I heard him go into Bella's room and the sound of Bella getting up. I should probably get up too. "Yeah dad, I am just getting out of bed!" I called back.

"Okay, I am going off to the station. See you girls later at the dinner!" he called as he was going out of the house. "See you later dad!" I called as I was going to the bathroom. I met Bella in the hallway. "You need to shower?" Bella asked me.

"Good morning to you to dear sister. I went last night, so I wouldn't need to. Although, I do need to pee" I replied walking into the bathroom. Bella went in after me and turned on the shower. I walked back into my room. "Now what to wear?" I asked myself aloud.

I flicked through my wardrobe and grabbed a pair of denim bootleg jeans and a baby pink long sleeve scoop neck top. I paired it with black socks and flats with a little bow on top. Once dressed, I looked in the mirror. I had long thick straight dark-brown hair with some red and copper strands through it. I brushed through it and decided on a black plastic hair band to complete my look. I grabbed my black coat and butterfly rucksack and went downstairs to get breakfast and wait for Bella.

I made myself some frosted cornflakes with milk and a milky tea for breakfast. Bella came downstairs not long after I sat down with my breakfast. She made herself some toast and a glass of orange juice. "How are you feeling about today Bella?" I asked her, looking at her with curiosity.

"I feel really nervous. As this is a small place and a new student is practically unheard of. I don't want the attention, I just want to go, do the work and be ignored by everyone. Although can I hang around with you?" She asked me.

"You are right there; everyone is already talking about you and is very curious. I know that you don't like a lot of people giving you attention, so you can sit with me" I assured her. She looked panicked by my first sentence but calmed a bit after telling her that she could hang with me. "Let's get to school and get you sorted out" I said and we walked to the truck. The truck was beat up and noisy so all eyes were on us when we pulled into the parking lot. A few people made comments as we both got out but stopped when I glared at them. We walked into the office where Bella got her schedule. But when we got out Eric bombarded us. Bella looked startled and scared when he was talking about putting her on the front page of the school newspaper.

"She doesn't like the attention Eric, simmer down a bit will you?" I said as my eyes pierced his, he gulped knowing I was serious and not to mess with me on Bella's first day. "Okay, no feature" he said hands raised in surrender. I smiled and walked Bella to her class and bid her farewell.

At lunch Bella sat with me, Jessica, Angela, Mike and Eric. The boys seemed to like Bella, but as Jess said it's like nursery all over again. Bella is just the shiny new toy. Bella was looking towards the lunch hall door as the Cullen's walked through the door. Everyone thought they were weird and beautiful. Every girl wanted to be Edward's girlfriend, but he never showed any interest. I just feel as if there is something inhuman about them. Well they are all inhumanely beautiful. Bella asked who they were and Jess gave her a rundown on they were, jumping at the chance to gossip.

Edward seemed very interested in my sister; they were both staring at each other. Well that's new, trust Bella to manage to get a Cullen interested in her.

I saw Bella out in the hallway after school, she looked very upset. I walked up to her and put my arm around her shoulders. "What's wrong Bell's?"

"I met Edward in biology, he acted as if I were a bad smell and that he couldn't wait to get rid of me. He made me very uncomfortable. As soon as the bell rang he was out of the classroom in a shot. I saw him in the office trying to get out of biology leaving with the words 'I will just have to endure', am I really that bad?" Bella said holding back tears.

"You're not, he's just a dick. Never you mind him, just get on with your own life" I told her as we walked to the truck. She just nodded and never spoke another word to me.

We went to the diner and met up with dad. We both ordered burgers. The waitress came and brought Bella berry cobbler and said to her that my dad still has it every Thursday. Waylon came up to us asking Bella if she remembers him. She shook her head. "I played Santa one year" he said.

"She hasn't had a Christmas here since she was four" my dad said

"I bet I made a good impression though didn't I?" Waylon replied.

"Butt crack Santa?"the waitress asked

"Yeah, kids love those things" Waylon said looking at the waitress who shook her head.
"Let the girl eat her burger Waylon" she said as she pushed him away...

I know not really different from the first time if you either recently read it or remember it. But the changes will crop up don't worry. Anyway thoughts?
