Summer ended way too soon that year. My best friend was moving to Europe and I was going to stay all alone in that stupid, rainy, empty, small town.

Don't get me wrong. I didn't hate Forks so much, just a bit. Gabriella has been my best friend since I can remember, and now her dad had got a promotion from his boss and they'd have to move to Madrid.

Of course I had the boys to hang around with me, but it wasn't the same.

I couldn't tell my deepest secrets to boys.They were awesome friends, and our band was great, but they didn't have the same patience and attention Gabby had.

And in Forks, the only person who could keep a secret was her. She kept mine and I kept hers. That was sort of a deal, I mean I didn't want everyone knowing that I had kissed a boy for the first time at 14 and that it had been grows. And she didn't want anybody knowing that when she was fifteen, she thought she was pregnant from her boyfriend, David.

That's why we needed each other, to keep secrets hang around, laugh and play. I mean, the other girls in Forks were fake, they were futile. Except for Melissa, but now she spent all of her time with her boyfriend, Alex.

So, that probably meant that I'd be stuck in Forks, only with my crazy parents.

I loved my parents, but they were seriously weird. My mom was a broken rock singer; she hadn't made any kind of success, so she stayed home all day long humming cartoon themes and talking to the furniture [she even said to me once that they answered].
And my dad, well, he wasn't as weird as mom was. He was a respectful lawyer, who owned a big company in Seattle, but when he was home, he liked to pretend he was fishing in front of the TV, in the "Fishing Channel" [I didn't even know that exited. But daddy said he was on "level three"!].

But, apart from my parents, I had a normal life: I had a band with the boys [Zach, Peep and Dig], my grades were straight B's [not that good, but not that bad either], I loved romantic comedies, I loved to play soccer and I had a dog named Banana.

I was a pretty normal teenager. Or at least I thought I was, I just didn't know how my life was about to change after that short summer in California. It would change forever and when I say "forever" I really mean forever…

We got home on Saturday night, school would begin next Monday. I was tired from the trip, so basically I just watched TV with Banana in my room.

I really thought my head would explode on Monday morning, and I don't even remember the morning classes, all I know is I was having lunch with Philip when I woke up.

"So Esme…" I looked up at him "have you had any classes with the new students already?"

"Hm… I haven't seen anyone new around Peep." Yet.

"What you mean 'haven't seen anyone new around'? The new students from New York. The Cullen siblings."

"Oh! Right. What about 'em?" I hadn't actually seen them, but I'd heard about them. Small town, you know.

"There's this blonde girl taking physics with me, Rosalie. God, she's the most perfect girl I've ever seen, and you know I've made out with some chicks!"

"Really? Why is she so special?" I tried my best to pretend I was interested, all Philip talked about, apart from music, was girls.

"I don't know, it's not something you can describe really, but you'll see what I mean when they come for lunch."

"Dude, dude, dude, have you seen Dr. Cullen's children?!" Diego sat at our table, bouncing with excitement. "I'm taking Biology with Isabella, she's so hot!"

"Yes, man! Rosalie's in my class and her twin brother, Jasper, too." Peep's eyes sparkled, he seemed happy that someone finally understood what he meant.
"They're quite something, now aren't they?"

"Oh…! Now, where's Zach?" Dig seemed unaware of my presence as Zach sat on the table with us, as amazed as Dig and Peep.

"I'm with Alice, which one is your classmate?" he asked.

"Rosalie."

"Isabella."

"We could invite them to-" Zach started, but I cut him off.

"Whoa, whoa whoa! Do you guys realize that you might just… scare all of them off by drooling over them… in the first day?" Zach and Dig looked as if they just realized I was there. "I mean, you don't even know them, you can't just… I don't know, jump at them all of a sudden!"

"Hi guys!" came a sweet voice. Too sweet, in my opinion. Jamie, a straw colored hair, tall girl was standing beside our table. She had an apple in her hand. And she was responsible for 50% of all the gossip in our school. Of course, she was very popular and she talked to us very rarely. Only when she needed our band to play at some random party or when she wanted to gossip, obviously.

"Hey Jamie" we all said together. That was just enough to make her seat beside us.

"Did you hear about the new Cullen kids?" we all nodded and she went on. "Did you hear that they're all dating each other?" That made all three of them pay a lot more of attention to her. Even I was a little bit surprised with that. She probably noticed that in our faces, cause she went on with a mysterious, lower voice. "Yes, I mean, they're all adopted by doctor Cullen, but they are…together. I hear that Rosalie girl is with the guy called Emmett. And that Alice, Emmett's sister, is with Rosalie's brother, Jasper. And there's also Isabella, who's with that Edward boy. I mean, that's kinda disgusting, ain't it?!

"That is… sick." Came Peep's voice. Zach and Dig's faces showed the same shocked feeling. I tried to look indifferent, but I had to admit, it was weird.

"Well," said Jamie, with a satisfied voice and expression. "I guess my job's done here, I gotta go guys. See later!"

"They… are… dating…among them!" Zach sounded astonished.

"Now, we have to make these chicks change their mind! I mean, we'd be doing them a favor!" said Peep.

"Let them do what they want to." I cried out.

"That is disgusting Esme! I mean, they are siblings!" Dig said.

I would not try to argue with them, I was outnumbered, and I knew that, soon enough, I would lose all arguments, cause I found that weird, too.

That's when the Cullens walked into the room. And they took my breath away. All of them.

There were three couples, that walked hand in hand into the room. The first one, consisted in a tall blond girl, achingly pretty. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen in my life. And the boy was huge, so huge he reminded me of a bear. He had black curly hair and, I couldn't help but notice when he smiled at the girl, that he had dimples.

The girl in the second couple was very tiny, she looked like a fairy with her spiky, short, black hair and she seemed to dance across the place. The boy seemed to be very tense by the way his shoulders where strained. He had dark blond, wavy hair and was smaller than the dark haired boy.

The third couple consisted in a brunette girl, not as tall as the blond, but not as tiny as the fairy either. She was tenderly holding the boy's hand and he had a messy, wavy, bronze toned hair.

All of them had a very pale skin and couldn't possibly imagine someone that would be more beautiful than them. Now, I definitely understood what the boys meant.

But I didn't pay too much attention to them; after a second I started reading as if nothing had happened. And so school passed by very fast.

P.E. was my last class, and after that we had a soccer game in the club our small group: Philip, Zach, Dig, Alex, Melissa, Jamie, David, Josh, his girlfriend whose name I could never remember, Tom and me.

By now, I knew all the Cullen's names: There were Rosalie and Jasper Hale who were Dr. Cullen's niece and nephew, but their parents died when they were babies. Bella Swan –she hated to be called 'Isabella'- was also his niece, and her mother had died in the same accident that killed the Hale's parents. Emmett, Alice and Edward were adopted by Carlisle when they were young.

I had also heard that Emmett and Rosalie didn't live with Dr. Cullen, they had their own house. Edward and Bella had their house too; the only couple that lived with their adoptive father was Jasper and Alice.

But, as I said, I didn't pay much attention to them.

When we got to the club they selected teams and we started to play. But, as usual, I got a little too competitive and ended up kicking the ball way to high, and it got stuck between a tree's branches.

"Oh, great Esme, look what you did!" Tom was furious, it the ball was his.

" Yeah dude! How are we gonna play now?" David was just frustrated.

"Why do you always have to be the star and show off like that?"

"Esme, I can't believe that! The game's so over now!"

Everyone was angry and yelling at me …

"Fine! I'll climb the stupid tree and get the ball back!" I was a bit angry too, they were overreacting.

As I started to climb I realized just how high the ball was, almost at the top branches. It was really high, but I had to get it.

Suddenly I stepped on a slim branch and it all happened way to fast, I didn't even have time to blink. The branch broke and all I knew was that I was falling and that I couldn't grab anything.

I fell on the ground and my right leg started to hurt. Hurt a lot. I had never felt such pain. That's when I heard everyone screaming:

"Oh my God, Esme! Don't move! You broke your leg dude! I can see the bone from here!" That didn't sound very nice. Peep was far from where I was.

"Don't move, we'll take you to the hospital!" Zach said as he reached me.

"Josh, get your truck! Fast, she's bleeding here!" Peep said as he reached us too.

Oh great! It wasn't enough just to break my leg, it had to be a compound fracture. Was I bleeding too much? I wouldn't risk a glance. I couldn't cause if I did I'd probably start to scream.

Someone [I didn't see who] got me inside Josh's truck and we drove to the hospital. I kept feeling little stings all over my broken leg and I kept silent, I didn't want to get hysteric.

When we got there Zach took me bridal-style in his arms and David and Peep ran inside the hospital:

"Please, my friend broke her leg! We can see the bone, and she's bleeding really badly! We need a doctor!"

"Just a minute, follow me." the nurse got up and started guiding us down the corridor. "Here, get her on the bed. I'll bring Dr. Cullen to see her."

"Fine." Zach laid me carefully on the bed and sat by my side. David and Philip decided to get out of the room, they looked a little nauseated. And when Zach's faced started to turn green I decided to tell him to wait with the rest of them.

"I'll be fine Zach, go before you throw it up on me." I tried to sound sarcastic through the pain.

"Okay, if you need me, just scream, okay?"

Oh, believe me, I will! "Go!"

He was gone. I was starting to feel a terrible pain on my leg. Where was that doctor? Did they want to kill me? Why didn't they ask for some painkillers? WHERE WAS THE DOCTOR?!

That was when the door opened. Dr. Cullen got walked into the room and I froze…

Hey guys, so, as I said, I'm editing all chapters but this will take some. Here's the first one, there are news characters' names, cause I didn't want them -the secondary characters- to be the same as the ones in the Twilight Books. So, there'll be no more Mike, Angela or Jessica. :) That's all, hope you like it.

-C's Fave Patient.
