Chapter One

The Past and Present

I could remeber it like is was yesturday. And it plays into my mind while I wait for class to start.

It was a few months after Ed-Him left me that I was changed into a Vampire by some nomad. I didn't even know who it was because when I woke up the nomad was gone. So I was alone, no one there to help me through the pain, no one there to tell me it would be okay, and no one there to love me. I knew that I couldn't stay here anymore. I had to leave Forks, I knew I couldn't let Charlie see me like this. But before I do anything I had to feed. Hunger was becoming over powering. I didn't want to kill a human so I figure that I would do what I learn from them. I closed my eyes and I let the vampire senses take over.

About a mile awhile was mountain lion. So I charged for it. After I killed it I just stood there looked at how helpless it was. I guess I was beginnging to understand why Ed--him left. I couldn't bring myself to say his name. I had to come up with a plan fast. I ran to the border line of La Push remembering that Vampires couldn't cross the line. I let my scent flow with the wind knowning that the wolves will soon catch it. As soon as I thought that they cam snarling and all. But once they realized it was me they went back into the woods to phase back to human forms.

"Bella is that you. But you....you are one of them."

"Yes Jacob it is me. I was changed about a day ago. I need help."

"Bella, because you are-were our friend we will let you live but only if you leave right now."

"I understand Sam. I will leave, but I need you to make it look like I was killed by a bear. For Charlie sake."

"We can do that." With that all but Jacob left. I knew that they were waiting for him in the woods watching making sure I don't attack him. I didn't blame them for that though.

"Jake, I'm sorry. I don't know what happen. I didn't mean for this. Take care of Charlie for me please?" He couldn't talk so he nodded and I gave him a weak smile and started running.

Now it has been 70 years later and I was in Porland. I was still on my own. I was a loner. I was sitting in Biology class when I smelt him. Oh no, this can't be happening not now. Why here? Then I heard the teacher say

"Class we have a new student today. His name is Edward Cullen. Edward, just take the empty seat next to Bella. Bella, please get Edward cought up on the notes." I couldn't talk but I nodded. I heard him slide the chair. I could feel his eyes on me the whole time. I closed my eyes not really wanting to look at him but I knew I had too. Memories came back at me flooding my mind. My dead heart would be breaking right now if it wasn't for the fact that it doesn't beat.

Finally I knew I had to look at him to give him my notes so he could copy them. But I talked without actually looking at him.

"Here are the notes. You can just....." I was talking without looking at him.

"Bella?"

"Take them home with you and just bring them back to me......"

"Bella." He was now trying to get me to look at him but I still refuse. I knew that if I was to look at him that I would hurt more and I couldn't handle that.

"Whenever you are done useing them." I finally got to finish. He must of got tired of me not looking at him because I felt a finger under my chin forcing me to look his way. So I closed my eyes. I heard him sigh.

"Fine if you won't look at me, at lease tell me why are you still alive. I heard that you was killed in by a bear."

I looked at him. Confusion was all over his face. So he was keeping tabs on me. Anger grew inside me. I snapped my eyes open.

"Keeping tabs on me Edward. Now is definatily not the place to have this conversation. So if you don't mind why don't you let me pay attention to class." I was never this angery at anyone. But because of the hurt he had put me threw it was coming out. I yanked my face out away from his touched and moved alittle to the left so I was not sitting so close to him.

As soon the bell ring I left the class room before Edward did.

*************************************

Edward's POV

I have been nothing but regret in me since the day that I lefted my love. My reason for living. There was a time that I went to the Volturi to have them kill me but they refuse. So I left and came back to my family. I was useless to them. Neither of us was ever the same. Carlisle spent most of his time at work, Esme hardly constructed anything, Emmett stop playing jokes on us, Alice only shops when needed, Jasper staying in his room to get away from everyone, even Rose was not the same. All this beause I decided that it was for the best to leave Bella.

Then I hear that she died from a bear attack. Charlie died fours years after. Now it has been 70 years and we were starting school all over again. I went to school to get my mind off her but that never worked. When I got my schdule I notice that I had Biology. Oh so many memories.

When I was close to the class room. I smell that I would know anywhere hit me like a ton of bricks. I know that scent. But how is it possible. She is suppose to be dead. I ran as fast as a human would to get to her. To be able to see her again, I would do everything. Maybe this is fate telling me that I have another chance with her. I would tell her that I was lying. That I need her.

But once I was in the room, I looked for her. I know she saw me but she refuse to look at me. This was not a good sign at all. But I notice that the only open seat that was open was right beside her. I will do as much as needed to get her back.

"Class, we have a new student. His name is Edward Cullen. Edward, just take the empty seat next to Bella. Bella, please get Edward caught up on the notes." Once he finished talking I started took my seat. I kept my eyes one Bella. She wont look at me. Did I hurt her that bad?

"Yay, Edward Bella's back. I saw that everything will be alright. After alot of " Alice thought. Grovel huh I can do that.

My eyes never leaving Bella, waiting for her to start talking. When she did it was shaky.

"Here are the notes. You can just....." She was talking to me but not looking directly at me.

"Bella?" I try to get her attention.

"Take them home with you and just bring them back to me......"

"Bella." I was trying to get her attention.

"Whenever you are done useing them." I let her finish talking. Ok so I will make her look my way. I take my hand under her chin and force her to face me. She closes her eyes. Ahhh still the same stubborn Bella I fell in love with. I knew she was a vampire because her heart no longer beat and she never aged. I let out a sigh and stated talking.

"Fine if you won't look at me, at lease tell me why are you still alive. I heard that you was killed in by a bear." I looked at her waiting for her to talk. Finally she opens her eyes. But I could see anger there.

"Keeping tabs on me Edward. Now is definatily not the place to have this conversation. So if you don't mind why don't you let me pay attention to class." Yep she was angry alright. I did as she ask but I never stop staring at her. The bell finally ring and just like that she was gone.
