Promises, Promises

Twyla, a teenage girl with an attitude and a bit of a cussing problem, has been Bella's best friend practically since birth. After her parents died when she was young, Renée, Bella's mom, took her in and raised the two together. They both moved to Forks to live with Charlie-- and while Bella immediately became entwined in the supernatural life that awaited her, Twyla had her reservations. Believing Bella to be blinded by rose colored glasses, Twyla stepped up to keep her safe in this brand-new world. The best thing that could've happened, in her opinion, was the Cullens leaving, because even though Bella was heartbroken, her life was no longer in danger. Until the danger almost seems to come seeking her out, and Twyla is forced to reconcile her fears with the life her best friend has chosen to lead. And when Jasper Hale, a vampire mysteriously protective of her, volunteers himself to keep her safe and try to prove that not all vampires need to be feared, she's met with a new problem: is it safe to trust him, or will that just put her in the same danger she's trying so desperately to protect Bella from?

Note: The author is not on Team Edward, nor is she on Team Jacob. The author is very firmly on Team Bella Goes to Therapy.
