Bella Swan was dreading going back to her ten year high school reunion, over Valentine's Day Weekend, for Hillsborough High School. Her time in high school in Tampa, Florida was not high on her list of pleasant experiences. She was quiet, unassuming and secretly in love with Edward Cullen. It was that unrequited love that forced her to move away to Seattle, as far from Tampa as possible. He never knew she existed. Or so she thought.
Edward was looking forward to his high school reunion because he was anxious to see the one that got away. Bella Swan was the quiet girl who never really interacted with anyone, but Edward saw that she was something special. But as ruler of the school, he had certain expectations to maintain. It was one of his biggest regrets. His life would have been easier if he had followed his heart. Now, he was a divorced father of two. His ex-wife, Tanya, who was his high school girlfriend, left him for a younger man and abandoned her children.
Will Bella be happy to see Edward or will she stay hidden amongst her classmates? Will Edward finally break the mold that was expected of him and open up his heart to the beautiful and shy Bella Swan? Will he be able to win back the one that got away?

The Other Swan
If you're reading this now, I'll assume you've already read my sister's books. She was, after all, the more popular Swan daughter. It had always been that way. If my assumptions are correct, you're probably wondering who I am. Afterall, Bella Swan had not once mentioned me in the story of her life. I wasn't the only thing she left out either. She told the story of a life she wanted to have, not the life she actually had. In her story, I was never born, Edward came back, and they lived happily ever after. I'm here to tell you the real story. OC/Emmett CullenComplete

Clouds Against the Eclipse
If you've ever wondered what New Moon would have been like if: Bella never jumped off that cliff, Alice had never come back, Bella never went after Edward and instead had ended up allowing herself to be with Jacob...this is the fan fiction for you!!❤️ (UPDATE: This story is now COMPLETE! I'd love your thoughts!) A passionate, heart-wrenching love affair between the Twilight Saga's Bella Swan and Jacob Black finally comes to fruition one stormy night when they kiss in Bella's kitchen. After that moment they're thrown into a whirlwind of colliding emotions and erotic pleasures, battling between Bella's intense newfound love for Jacob and the painful wound Edward Cullen left behind...a wound she can't seem to fully get past. In this universe, Jacob is the same age as Bella (they are both 18 in this story) since in my opinion him being younger provides nothing relevant or beneficial lol :) **I definitely do NOT own the rights to Twilight or any of the characters used in this story. This is a 100% fictional work inspired by the characters/plot of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series!Complete
