"If you don't know the difference between infatuation and love, you will destroy others lives and your own."

Let's talk about love.

Love is defined as an intense feeling of deep affection. That is what most people say to their significant other. I love you. But for me, it is a completely different story,

Let's talk about infatuation.

An intense, but short lived affection for someone or something. There is that word again. Intense. It means an extreme force, degree, or strength. But when you think about something that is intense... you don't think of love.

At least I didn't.

And I still don't. My only experiences with love have been infatuation. Short lived. But when that stage dissolves, it all just disappears. In a snap. In an instant. So you understand why I don't believe in the term forever.

Forever is a word to strong to be fully comprehended. Everyone has a different forever. Eighty years can be forever for some people, while twenty can be forever for others. When someones forever ends, another's begins.

My forever began when I moved to Forks, Washington.

The dreary wind blew my hair back as I exited the airport with my twin sister, Isabella, and my father, Charlie Swan. We moved away from Arizona for many reasons. The main one being that I absolutely despise it. Everything about it. The sun burns my skin, and my mom either constantly pesters me about things I do and don't do, or ignore me completely. Her main purpose in life is to look after Bella and care for her obnoxiously young lover, Phil.

I have always loved my dad. We go outside in the cool rain and throw the baseball back and forth. It would send the water flying up and drenching our legs... but neither of us ever care. Days like that were what got me into sports. I love running, but not in Arizona, it is much to hot there.

Another reason I am glad to be back in Forks.

"Your hairs longer." The voice of Charlie Swan interrupted my thoughts. " haven't cut it since last time I saw you." Bella muttered, before fixing her gaze back out of the window. I rolled my eyes. She could at least try to act happy to see him. She is barely acknowledging his existence.

"What about you Court? How are things going?"

I shrugged, twisting a piece of my dark hair around my finger, biting my lip thoughtfully. "Pretty good. I'm glad to be back here... what is the school like?"

Dad laughed, ruffling my hair. "Small."

I narrowed my eyes, "How small?"

"Small enough." He smirked, and I rolled my eyes again, a playfully smirk on my face. "Do you reckon I'll know everyone there?" I asked, glancing sideways at dad. "Well, you might... but I can't guarantee that you will like everyone."

"That's reassuring."

We pulled up to the small, grey house surrounded by the thick lawn. I hurried to grab my small bag from the backseat of the police cruiser. I brought as little as I could. Just a few outfits to hold onto until I get the chance to go shopping, hygienic stuff, and personal items, such as the stuffed bear my dad got me when I was born. I call him Theo... because Theodore sounded like an acceptable name for a bear when I was three, and had the basic human knowledge to name him.
