20 years ago, Isabella Marie Swan had everything in life: A loving family, a great set of friends. Good grades and the potential knight in shining armor. But all of it changed the day she decided she wanted other things in life such as: the title prom queen, she wanted everyone to remember her as miss popular. And she got tired her so called uncool friends, and she also grew bored of waiting for someone to rescue her off the tower, so she decided to go running off the sunset with Mr. Jock. Now 20 years after being crowned prom queen Bella is back at her home town and is about to present the crown to its new heir.
After High school graduation Bella followed her boyfriend Jacob. They went to Seattle University, at first everything was great. That was until Jacob met Tanya and started secretly seeing her behind Bella’s back. Bella found out 2 months later and she immediately broke things off with Jacob.
A week later she got a call that broke her world. Her mother had died. Her dad shut everyone out; including Bella. Losing the love of his life was not an easy task for Charlie Swan. So the father and daughter bond they had got strained and their relationship ever since has been foggy. Bella didn’t have anyone to turn to. She didn’t have any friends, her so called beloved friends are mad at her for breaking things up with Jacob, only proving her mother’s theory that her friends were only portraying a role and sooner would show their true colors.
She couldn’t go to her old friends because her pride weighted more to her. Her friends did come proving to her that throughout everything she has done to them they still care for her. But no, she was blinded by her pride and told them that she didn’t need them. That was the thing she regretted the most.
So Bella buried herself into her studies, she worked hard to achieve her goals in life. Now Bella lives in an apartment in a decent subdivision in Seattle, she has a successful job doing what she loves most in the world. But it’s still not complete.
She wants to be able to have people behind her- those who will love and support her, people she can truly call her friends.
She still yearns to have someone to share it with. Someone who will love her. Because after constantly failing in love let’s face it Bella’s a hopeless romantic. She may be bitter because of her many failed relationships but Bella’s still hoping to find her happily ever after.
But through the years Bella has lost hope of finding her soul mate. The odd of her finding Mr. Right and then starting a family in so short of time are pretty slim.
“Bella, Oh my God. I haven’t seen you in ages. How are you doing?” A voice brings Bella out of her reverie.
“Angela, I- wow. It’s been years. I’m good. Thank you” Bella replies and hugs her friend. Angela Webber the only person Bella considers as a friend. Angela was part of the gang- her fake friends, but Angela was kind, nice and she was true to being Bella’s friend. When Bella’s mother died Angela was in Europe but through the years she and Bella reminded in contact. Although it had been years since they last saw each other.
“Ang, wow pregnancy suits you” Bella says happily to her friend, just now noticing her belly.
“Thanks, little blip here will be out in about 4 months. And then Marie will be the perfect big sister” Angela says smiling genuinely. Angela really makes me jealous; she has a loving husband, angel for kids. God! I want that sort of life. Bella mentally says to herself.
“So, have you seen any of our old classmates?” Angela asked
“No, I haven’t really been socializing” Bella mumbles
“Oh Bella, a night with your old classmates won’t kill you. Come on let’s have fun” Angela utters
“Look. A fortune teller” Angela points out a woman in weird clothes and is inviting people into her tent.
“Come on Bella. Don’t you want to know your future?” Angela asks
“I guess so” Bella mumbles. She knew that contradicting Angela was not a bright move. So following her commands was a wiser pick. Decides what does she have to lose right?
“Good evening miss, would you like to know your fortune?” the lady asked
“Sure, whatever just make it fast, lady” She replies
The lady toke Bella’s hand and when she touched it. Afterwards she was staring of to space
“Uhmm. Lady, are you okay?” Bella asks a bit confused as to why the lady was acting so strangely
“I have to help you” the fortune teller replies
“Excuse me?” Bella asks
“Bella, listen to me. Tomorrow morning you will wake up and you will be back to the day things got out of control. I’ll give you the second chance you were asking for. But you also have to do something for me. You have to help six people. Make their lives better” the fortune teller says
“Okay, can I go now?” Bella asks she was getting creped out by the fortune teller.
“Of course, just remember. Six people.” She smiled
Bella went out and she shaked her head. Clearing her mind of the previous event. God! When is this night gonna end she thought to herself.
4 hours later
Bella arrived at her apartment exhausted. After the crazy fortune teller she literally bumped into her ex-boyfriend Jacob accompanied by his wife Tanya, she was furious and to think Jacob asked her to join them. True it had been years since they broke things up. But she was still hurt. She wanted the life Tanya currently had. She and Jacob are expecting a baby.
All she wanted was a family.
After changing her clothes and climbing into bed, she fell into a deep sleep
Not knowing the journey that was starting tomorrow.
