Chapter 1
BPOV
After what felt like days, I was finally back to normal. When time stood still again, I was in the back yard of Charlie's house at sunrise.
"Weird," I thought. "I haven't been here since that night." I was still a vampire. But, I was wearing a shirt that I hadn't worn in years. In fact, I think Alice got rid of it a long time ago.
I cautiously walked around to the front of the house. I didn't want to see Charlie if he thought I was dead.
There was only my old truck parked there. I hadn't gotten it back after I was changed. There was no cruiser there. I sniffed the air. There was on scent to Charlie there either.
I walked up to the front door, and pushed it open since it was unlocked. I smelled the house. Once again, the only scent there was my own. I was starting to get worried. What was going on here?
I rushed up to Charlie's room and opened the door. Inside, there was a piano, a guitar, a microphone, and multiple other musical things. My stomach sank to the soles of my feet. "Where in the world is Charlie?" I thought frantically. I searched the whole rest of the house at vampire speed and found nothing.
I realized I had no idea what day it was. I quickly sprinted to the kitchen and yanked open the draw that held the calendar. What I found made me feel like I was going to be sick.
It was January 18, 2005. My first day of Forks High.
My first thought was, "This cannot be happening! I went back four full years?" I couldn't believe that my power had the ability to take me back this far. And, though I was in a total panic, part of me sighed in relief. Amber was still alive. She and Jacob would meet each other some day, and fall in love, without me there to screw things up. Sam was still alive, too. He and Emily could still have a wedding, and start a family, or do what ever they wanted to in life.
Then, something else clicked in my head. What about Edward? He had to still be here. Would he understand what happened? Would he even remember me?
I decided there was only one way to find out. So, I went upstairs to take a shower so I could get to school a little early so I could get my schedule and such.
After I was dressed, I put a tiny bit of makeup on, not that I needed it. Since when did any vampire need makeup? I took my engagement ring off of my finger and put it on a chain. I put the chain around my neck. I didn't want to freak anyone out by making think I was married.
I checked the clock. I had twenty minutes till school started. I jumped in my truck. I took a moment to appreciate that I had it back. I had missed it, even though I had only been away from it for a little over two weeks.
I threw the car into drive, and drove off to school. By the time I got there, I was shaking. I took a deep breath, and calmed my self. I stepped out of the car, and walked up to the secretary's office.
I walked in noiselessly. "Excuse me?" I asked in a quiet voice, after realizing she didn't hear me come in.
Her head jerked up as she jumped the tiniest bit. "Oh. Hello. You must be Isabella Swan. We've been expecting you."
That last part sounded like it came straight out of a cheesy horror movie, but I smiled. "That's me. But, please, call me Bella." I noticed I had a bit more confidence as a vampire.
She smiled timidly and handed me my schedule. "Please get this signed by all of your teachers and return it by the end of the day." I took it and turned around to walk out the door. "Have a nice day!" She called after me.
I nodded my head without looking back.
As soon as I was outside, I heard someone approach me. I looked to my left to see Emmett. I stopped in my tracks and held my breath. "Please let him remember me, please, please, please!!"
He stopped too, and looked down at me. "My family and I need to talk to you at lunch." I just nodded. He started to walk away.
"Wait!" I called out to him. He turned around. "Don't you want to talk a bit longer?"
He shook his head. "No. I need to get back to my family, and plus, Master Stephanie told me not to talk to creepy little girls." Emmett would be Emmett.
He walked away. I was devastated he didn't remember me.
I knew he wasn't my only hope. I was Alice's best friend. And Edward's fiancée. Emmett was…. Well, Emmett. I still had a chance.
I went into my English class. Everything was a repeat of my first day, so far. Except no girls approached me, but a lot more guys. About 20 of them or so. I politely dismissed them every time they would ask me out.
It was finally lunch time. I took a deep breath and stepped into the cafeteria. Everyone lowered their voices as I walked to the line to get my food that would go to waste.
If I thought it was quiet then, it was nothing compared to when I sat down at the Cullen's table. Then it was absolutely silent. About 30 seconds later, every one started talking animatedly.
I glanced around the Cullen table for the first time, noticing that Edward was missing. Everyone was staring at me with a mask over their face. They didn't recognize me. I felt my heart break.
The first one to break the silence was Rosalie. She said, "Emmett, you idiot! You forgot to mention she's a vegetarian like us."
He looked down sheepishly. "Sorry. I guessed that it slipped my mind."
She glared at him. "Just like any common sense you once had…." She muttered under her breath.
Alice spoke up next. "Hello. I'm Alice Cullen. That is Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper." She said pointing to each one. "We also have another brother, Edward. He had to help a teacher with something," She looked at Jasper as she said this. "but apparently have biology with him." I faked surprise at her knowing this. "I'm physic." She whispered. I nodded.
"Well, I'm Bella." I said, reaching over to shake each one of their hands. We chatted for the rest of our lunch period.
When the bell rang, I got butterflies in my stomach. This is when the truth comes out. It's do or die right here.
I stepped into the classroom. Edward was already in his seat. As I walked by, I noticed he had all of his attention trained on the book he was reading.
I gave my slip of paper to my teacher, and had him sign it. I already knew I was sitting next to Edward.
I sat down. After I put my books on the table, I looked over at him. At that moment, he looked up at me and our eyes met. For a second, his eyes went unfocused and his head twitched. "That was weird." I thought
Then, it seemed like he snapped back into his body. He smiled. "Hello, I'm Edward Cullen, you must be Bella Swan. Nice to meet you."
Review because I love you!! SO, was it what you expected?? I didn't think so! Thank you for keeping with me!
