Lunar Phases

Chapter 1

//Here I am. Here I am with a god damned twilight fanfiction in the year 2020. I've been using twilight as a way to get through quarantine and i just have a lot of feelings about Jacob and god damnit he deserved so much better. So here you go, this story takes place through the entirety of Eclipse. This story took so much research. My editor and I sat and watched Eclipse for four hours making notes throughout the story and then went through the book making notes.

Enjoy <3//

Chapter 1

Soulmates

When I was younger, I assumed my parents were soulmates, as do most children. As I grew older I watched as the sweet nothings whispered between my parents, morphed into something more ugly and angry. I experienced their loving carefree relationship fade into lonely nights and nasty words. And I suppose eventually, it became too much for them to bear. Whether it was my father's infidelity, or my mothers disinterest in it that was the tipping point I'm not sure, but what i was sure about was the fact that soulmates were definitely not real.

Forks Washington was by far, the most depressing town I had ever set foot in. It was cold, and dark and the population of the entire town was about the population of my previous highschool.

I stared out the window of the simple two story house surrounded by the lush greenery and the wave of anxiety I felt left me lightheaded. I'd had an awful feeling of dread from the moment my mother had told me we'd be moving from the only home I'd known. I wasn't unhappy persay, though I'm sure most 18 year olds would be.

Transferring schools wasn't my ideal way to spend the remaining two months of my highschool career but it also wasn't the end of the world. I wasn't ecstatic but I'd always wanted a change. There had been nothing left for me in that town after the incident.

The one thing I had to look forward to was the fact that my new neighbors were one, the chief of police so no break ins, and two he had a daughter around my age. Though I was starting to disbelieve that due to the fact that i had been here for a week and still had yet to see her.

The sound of a car door slamming caught my attention. I moved slowly to my window, hearing hushed voices in the yard just below mine.

"I want you to be happy..." A male voice spoke. He sounded hurt, that must be Bella and her boyfriend. I squinted my eyes, seeing their moving silhouettes through the yard. "I'll understand if you're too angry for me to come to your room tonight. Just close the window." He spoke softly, as though the idea was unbearably painful for him. She didn't answer and simply shut her front door, and I took that as my cue to move away.

"Well that was strange." I moved to my desk dropping down in my spinning chair. "But I guess if my father was a cop I'd also have my boyfriend sneak in through the window." Still though, how would he even get through the window? I shook that thought away, it was none of my business what my neighbor and her boyfriend got up to in the middle of the night.

I was sure eventually i would actually run into them and then maybe, have a real conversation.

I'd waited two days for the moving truck to arrive with the majority of our things and within that time I'd never seen the mysterious daughter of my new neighbors. So it'd only make sense that the second thing I noticed was the pair walking over to Charlie.

I pretended to busy myself with the moving truck in front of me, gathering my boxes into my hands before I snuck a glance over to them. My mother had urged me to speak to her. She was sure I'd be excited that my neighbor would be a girl my age and truly I was, but from the look I received from the two of them I didn't see a friendship as our outcome.
