Edward and Bella were friends in high school, but found love just before he went away to college. They haven’t seen each other in 6 years. Will the lie she told him change everything when he finds out? Has years of struggle made a change in Bella?

Bella, who has been married to Edward for a few years, finds herself being someone she doesn't want to be. She used to be the girl with the many one night stands, who enjoyed sex and had lots of male friends - some with benefits. She used to pride herself in not being prude about sex and never judge people based on their sex life. Now she panics when Edward snuggles with her at night, and she cringes from his touch. She avoids him as much as she can. She clearly remembers she used to love him, but she has forgotten how it felt. She looks at him now and feels nothing, and their relationship is falling apart. Should she try to find the love she used to have for her husband, or should she let go? These questions force her to take a journey within herself. What will she discover? Thank you Bellabee66 for making this banner! Visit her blog: www.bellabee66.com 

Bella Swan is, according to her friend Jasper Hale, "that girl that every guy in high school falls in love with at least twice." Jasper's new foster brother, Edward, is convinced he's kidding. After all, he can see that Bella's acting, that her perfection is the cover for her true self.

But Edward has secrets of his own, and he's sure he'd be better off without them coming to the surface. His past of multiple foster houses and gang violence aren't the worst of his problems.

Their meeting is an accident. Or maybe fate.

(and you see that incredibly amazing banner of incredible amazingness? my beta, Dr_Twilight_PharmD, who constantly goes above and beyond the call of Beta Duty, made that for me)

1999:  Bella and Jasper help each other navigate freshman year.  As it begins to grow into something more, neither of them is certain they are ready to risk the friendship that has kept them sane and centered.  Life has a way of forcing you to deal with things whether you want to or not, and they are overwhelmed.   2006:  After drifting apart, they find themselves thrust back into the same social circles when they fall for siblings Edward and Alice.  Cautious and cordial, they never reveal, or even address, the depth of the feelings they once had for each other.  Until one night, when it all comes flooding back.  Neither of them wants to chase a dream at the expense of what they have today, but what effect will it have on the way they view their current relationships?

Bella returns to Forks, WA to start her life over. Edward is a widower raising twin daughters. When Bella starts to work for Edward, the two develop a close bond that may be ruined by their secrets. LEMONS-- real & imagined Rated-M for a reason AH/OOC.

THIS STORY NO LONGER AVAILABLE ON TWILIGHTED. Head to my blog.

Bella had the perfect life.  She was married to her longtime best friend, had a great job and a beautiful son…until a careless driver stole her happiness.

Edward was fulfilling his dreams.  His residency was almost over, he had a gorgeous fiancé, and he was ready to move forward, starting a family…until a devastating break-up and a health scare in his family shake his foundation.

See, sometimes, life doesn’t go the way you want.  Sometimes, things can happen that change the course you choose.  And most of the time, it takes courage to walk down the new path.

What if that new path started with a tee ball team?

Big thanks to sigh-for-sigh for the banner!!
