ROOKIE in the house ... sillygilly

The first Rookie to make the ranks is sillygilly with a fic called Grenache.

After hitting rock bottom in an abusive relationship, Bella meets Edward after suffering through a devastating crisis. Can he save her? Will she even let him?

This one is a heartwarming fic that begins with a glimpse into the bond between Jacob and Bella who have been friends since they were kids.  

While he left after graduation, Bella's situation kept her in Forks.  A short time later, a stranger arrived in town and Bella begins a relationship with him that changes her from the girl Jacob remembers.  

Excerpt from chapter one

Bella slowly pulled herself off the bed and made her way gingerly into the bathroom.

She did not allow herself a look in the mirror.

As the shower warmed, Bella undressed the rest of the way and stepped into the scalding hot water. Her pale skin immediately reddened under its spray.  She scrubbed her body until she was sure she would bleed and the water had cooled.

She stepped out, combed her hair and brushed her teeth, making herself feel as though it was any other night after a shift at the bar. Bella took a step and was soon reminded that it wasn’t, as the pain between her legs made itself evident. Her shoulders were sore, and she could see the bruises beginning to form around her wrists where James had held her.

She didn't bother to fix the sheets that her fists had pulled. Instead, she grabbed her pillows and walked into the living room. She lay on the couch and pulled the blanket from the back of it over her. There was complete silence as she focused on the sound of her breath.

A lone tear escaped her eye as she began to drift off. She prayed that sleep would come and she could wake up from this nightmare. 

Four years late with all contact lost, he returns ... what he finds devastates him.

It gets better from there ... trust me.  The three of them, yes, Edward is Jacob's best friend from college, make their way to California where they meet the rest of the Cullens.  


A little bit about the writer ...

I'm married. I live in KY. I have 3 fur babies that I love with all my heart. I decided to try my hand at writing because I've always wanted to leave my mark. I want to write something that people can't put down. That makes them lose track of time
