A/N: Ok people this is the first chapter I know it's a little slow but we need the background info for this story soo...here it is!
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight...I do own Maddie, Elise and Claire though...hehe
Like most Friday nights you could find us here. Us being my friends Elise, Claire and I. We were almost predictable to people in the know.
We've been friends for all of two years, but it feels like we have known each other for way more years than that. I first met Elise in science class in grade 9. We were in the same class but didn't know each other for the first half of the year. We came to know each other after another one of my friend's, Steph, lent me this book she had gotten back from her friend Claire. Steph had told me that Claire had said that anyone who loves to read should read it, that's how Steph had read it, and I love to read. Steph had told me she didn't like the book but maybe I would. So I had taken the book home that Friday night two years ago.
I had been in the middle of reading another series, so I had put the book aside saying I would read it later.
FLASHBACK...
I finished said series in record time and picked up the book Steph had lent me yesterday. I looked at the cover, apparently it was called "Twilight". Who calls a book "Twilight"? I turned the book over in my hands and read the back. Ok I definitely didn't want to read it now...
It's about vampires. Seriously, it was about vampires. I mean can you get any lamer.
The only thing that actually held my interest was that it had a possibility of being a sappy romance story. My parents make fun of me for all the romance type books I read. Don't get me wrong I also love reading those books that really make you think. But, it's just, every once in a while I like to read those gushy, romantic books. What girl I her right mind doesn't like romance in some form or shape?
So the part that held some interest on the back cover was "And Third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him."
So having nothing else planned today I gave myself the task of humouring Steph and reading "Twilight". I didn't open it right away, instead I wondered why the book was only sold in our one small-town bookstore from the whole nation, and this book was not sold anywhere else in the entire world.
The book probably wasn't even good, I convinced myself that that's the reason they only made three copies of the book.
I sighed, opened the book and started to read...
...Two hours later I finished all 544 pages. I know that's a lot of reading in two hours but when I like a book I read through it fast. Which on my part sucks because it doesn't make it last as long as I want it to. But that's just how I read so I had to live with it.
This book...It was AMAZING! There are practically no words to describe how I felt about it.
I called up Steph to tell her I'd finished it
"Already? Maddie how do you read that fast."
"I dunno, when I like a book, I read very fast." I said as if she should know this already.
"Ya well get ready for the second book, it's just as long as the first and was just released yesterday...I'll get it from Claire for you."
"Yay! Don't worry I'm ready for whatever you throw at me."
"I'm sure you will be, listen I gotta go my mom says I need to make everyone lunch; I've got some lazy people in my family. So I'll see ya Monday."
"Alright see ya!" I said and hung up the phone.
I tried to put myself to doing tasks around the house but it didn't keep my mind off of waiting for the next book. I was constantly guessing what would happen next or wondering if somewhere in the world there was a person as kind, caring and protective as Edward Cullen.
Finally, the day ended and it was late enough to go to bed. Unfortunately, it was Saturday which meant I still had another day of torture to live through before I got to read the next book.
Sunday comes around and I'm going to burst. I need to at least talk to someone about it. Maybe my friend Charlotte, who also reads a lot, read it.
I called and asked her, nope, she didn't' read hadn't even heard about it. I started to call around and apparently no one had heard of it. I called Julie and she said she'd only heard of it from another "obsessive Twilighter" like me. Julie told me she was in our Science class, her name was Elsie. I didn't really know her; we hadn't talked much for the first 6 months of school. Neither of us was stuck up or anything, we just didn't have anything to talk about. Now we did.
I remember Elise was kind of short maybe 5 feet, where I was 5 feet 6. Other than height we looked similar, we both had dark brown hair and brown eyes. Her hair as mid-length and straight where mine was long and wavy.
I didn't have Elise's number so I'd see her tomorrow in Science...
END OF
FLASHBACK...
Two Years Later
What happened next was I read New Moon, met Elise and became instantaneous BFF's, and awaited Eclipse to be released. Eclipse was published a little over a year after meeting Elise and in which time I met Clare; another Twilight-aholic.
The three of us were the only people to have read the full series: Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. My friend Steph hadn't bothered reading the rest of the books because she said she didn't like them.
Personally I think she's crazy.
Like I said earlier we were where you could always find us on a Friday night; in my basement, discussing possibilities for Breaking Dawn, and other Twilight related topics.
Breaking Dawn is going to be the fourth, and last, book in the Twilight saga; where we find if Bella stays with Edward and becomes a vampire, or at the last minute changes her mind and chooses Jacob and remains human. The owner of the bookstore told us that Stephenie Meyer, the author of the Twilight Saga (and legend in my eyes), would once again only have three copies made and were only being sold at our tiny bookstore.
Now, Twilight is such a good book that I'm surprised she hasn't made it world renowned yet. We had googled Stephenie Meyer and she hadn't shown up on it, she didn't even have an author's website. There was absolutely nothing about her on the internet, or Twilight. It was like she didn't exist. But she had to exist right? Otherwise there would be no Twilight.
Ugh. No Twilight.
How horrible life would be if I hadn't read it. My parents would be happy I wasn't day-dreaming about good-looking vampires and hot werewolves, in both aspects. I shuddered at almost no knowing about Edward and Jacob.
"Hey Maddie, are you alright?" Claire asked me noticing my shudder.
"Ya I was just thinking how life would be if I hadn't read Twilight."
Claire shuddered too. Apparently it would suck for her too if Twilight didn't exist. Claire was the odd one out of our little group. She had medium length blonde hair and blue eyes. She was about 5'7", but we had all grown in the past two years of meeting one another. I was now a solid 5'8"1/2 and Elise was 5'4".
We were all in grade eleven and had pretty much finished growing.
"Maddie hellooooooo?! Did you hear me? I said...I have two new theories on the Title of Breaking Dawn." Elise said snapping her fingers in front of my face and getting me out of my daze.
I shook my head "Nope sorry, missed it"
"Ok well first, Breaking Dawn could mean beginning or birth or something...so like Bella being reborn as a vampire. OR!"She paused dramatically, "It could mean the sun winning over and her choosing Jacob, her personal sun!" She said grinning; she was a total team Jacob. Claire was the opposite a total team Edward and I didn't have a preference...which sometimes kept the peace between them. I guess you could call me Team Switzerland.
We kept talking about the possibilities and the highs and lows of each situation until late into the night.
Only 32 more days until we find out which way she really will go...
Can you guess who
