A/N: This is my first Twilight fic so please tell me if it sucks. The first chapter is more of a preface to bring you up to speed with what is going to happen, so it's going to be a bit short. Then we will get into the real story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, Stephenie Meyer does. I would however love to own Edward Cullen *Swoon*

Bella POV

I have lived with Charlie since I was little, my mother - Renee - had left us when I was five to pursue her career, unfortunately it failed and she failed to come back to us. I would visit her every summer, now however was different. She had just married Phil and was living in Phoenix, although they were hoping to move soon, with Phil playing ball they wouldn't be staying in one place for too long. Right now they were looking for a place in Jacksonville.

Mom asked me to go and live with her and Phil for a while, she knows I like the sun, but I couldn't. My life is here in Forks, everything and everyone that I love is here, besides, what would Charlie do without me. He can't even use the microwave without nearly blowing it up in the process. You would think that a forty-year-old man would be able to use a microwave.

I looked up to Charlie; he was my hero as well my father. When I was little I would go fishing with him and Harry, I could just manage to attach the hook without cutting myself and the number of times I have fallen in the water when trying to help them, well let's say I can't count them on my fingers anymore.

Charlie and I live in a town called Forks; it's not very exciting and rains most of the time. The only consolation I had is that Port Angeles isn't that far away. Plus there was Jacob. We have been friends since we were young and he lives on the reservation down at La Push. His dad Billy and Charlie have been friends for years, Billy is in a wheelchair and Jacob has to drive up to Forks, illegally. Charlie agrees to look the other way; either that or he looses his baseball buddy.

Jacob is fifteen and obviously isn't old enough to drive. They don't have a truck anymore though; Charlie bought it of Billy a couple of months as a present for me. It's a beat up old Chevy, orangey red in color and makes one hell of a racket when you drive, but despite all that, I love it. Jacob has been trying to do up an old Volkswagen Rabbit but he's having trouble finding the parts he needs. When they come over to watch the games either Charlie would go down to pick Billy up or they would borrow Harry's truck.

I used to love it at La Push, the beaches were so peaceful and the people outrageous. Sam, one of the older kids at the reservation well… I say kid but he's older than me, Jacob and some more of their friends go cliff diving. Yeah it sounds fun and looks it, but there is no way I'm going to do it, known my luck or more the fact that I haven't got any, something bad would happen, and I mean bad.

That was all before my luck went from bad to worse. About six months ago I started to see a face from my nightmars, from my past. He was there, where ever I went and he wasn't about to leave me alone. Maybe I should have taken Renee up on the offer of living with her and Phil, if I had I might not be in the position I was in now.

A/N: Not quite as short as I imagined, but still I hope you liked it. Please review if you liked it or if you thought it was naff. That way I will know to write more or improve it. Just press that little button below. If I get approx three reviews I'll post the next chapter.

Thanks.

P.S I'm trying to come up with another Twilight fic that centers Jasper for my friend Miss BeccaEmmett Urie and would love it if you could give me some ideas to help me along the way. If you do PM me so that no one else will know them, *whispers* otherwise it spoils it.

Thanks again.
