"Stupid, Stupid, Stupid." I cursed myself. I couldn't believe I had spilt juice all over me. "Dangit!" I ran back up the stares. I would be late for my first day at Forks High School. I opened the heavy door and jammed open my closet doors. I grabbed my back up shirt. I have a habit of doing these things and its nice to have a backup. I grabbed the shirt as I ripped off the stained and threw it into a corner. I looked in the mirror before getting completely dressed. A long scar ran down my chest. I had been lucky to have lived, even if that girl had died. I thought about what they had told me happened to her. She had been cliff-diving down at the local Indian reservation. She had hit the water and broken her neck. They never told me her name only that she was called Bella and I thought it was ironic that I was now living in her old town.

"MALIA! GET DOWN HERE!" my brother shouted from the bottom of the steps.

"HOLD ON A MINUTE TYLER! GOD!" I yelled back. I slipped on the shirt and ran out the door. I grabbed my keys and stepped out into the rain. It hadn't showed any signs of letting up since we had gotten here and that was a month ago.

"I hate this town." I mumbled under my breath as I got into the driver's seat of my Range Rover. I took a deep breath and inhaled the scent of my new car. I had been driving the crappiest car, a 1977 Isuzu Trooper, since I was 15. I had finally gotten this for my 18th birthday and as a form of apology for my parents forcing me to move here. I drove to the High school and looked at the full parking lot. I realized that I wasn't late, but I did realize that I would stand out. The lot was filled with old Mini vans and beaters. I parked beside a Vomit Green mini-van.

"Great." I said and Tyler snorted at the comment. I took the time to look around some more and I saw a group of people standing beside a Volvo and a BMW. They were beautiful, inhumanly beautiful and their paleness looked like they had never seen the sun. Their topaz eyes sparkled. I knew exactly what they were and I was right about them being inhumanly beautiful, they weren't human, they were vampires.

"Tyler, look!" I said nodding towards the coven.

My sister was a vampire. She had been turned when she was my age and I was 13. I smiled when I saw them, although one looked seriously depressed. No, they all looked depressed. Maybe it was just this coven.

I heard the bell rang even though I was still in my car. I stepped out into the rain and ran for the door. I swung it open. I heard Tyler chuckle from behind me.

"What? It's a heavy door." I said shrugging my shoulders. The office that I was in was warm, but outdated. The pink wall matched the pink carpet. I felt like I was in a heart. No pun intended. I went up to the woman behind the counter and asked for maps. She handed me two and we headed out the door. The covered walkway wasn't doing a good job of keeping us dry. As soon as we got into the other building we were confronted with a swarm of students rushing from their locker's to their classrooms.

"I'll meet you at 3:00 okay?" I told Tyler.

"Yeah. Unless I get detention." He replied.

"You better not Tyler Delahow, or I'll shoot you." I was having a little bit of trouble talking to Tyler and trying to get through the crowd at the same time.

"Fine, Fine. I gotta go." He ran off to his first class as a sophomore, looking at his map at the same time. I hurried to the classroom labeled 3 and walked in.

This day was going to be a long one.

I entered the lunch room. This school had a lot more people than I thought it would. I couldn't concentrate on anything because some girl name Jessica Stanley was latched onto me like a leach and as much salt as I poured on her she would not go away. I saw the coven of vampires and tried guarding my thoughts because I know some of them have extra powers. Jessica sat me down at the table and started eating. About 15 minutes passed before I finally asked her:

"Jessica, who are those people over there?" I hinted towards the coven and Jessica's eyes rolled.

"That would be the Cullen's." she stated. I decided to keep that in mind. She pointed to the bronze-haired boy, the boy who looked seriously depressed. "That's Edward. He lost his girlfriend in an accident. Her name was Bella Swan." I froze. Bella?

"Wait her name was Bella?" I asked. she nodded. "How did she die?"

"Well, Edward left her and she started hanging out with a bunch of kids down at La Push and decided to go cliff-diving. She was by herself and jumped from the highest point and when she hit the water, she broke her neck. He came back from the funeral and decided to stay. His father works at the hospital and they needed him back."

"Oh my God." I almost told her about my heart, but decided against it. The less people who know, the better. "That's horrible."

"Hey sis." My brother came sauntering forward.

"Hey. How's your day been going?"

"Well some dude picked on me bu-" I cut him off.

"What? Who was picking on you? You point him out to me!" I was getting angry. I hated when people picked on my little brother.

"That guy" he pointed to the burly one at the Cullen table. Jessica quickly said it was Emmett. " But sis," he continued, " He was just joking. No harm done." I wasn't listening to him. I was to concerned with the fact that someone had picked on my family. I saw Edward muttering to Alice. She looked at me and then turned quickly. I slammed down my tray on the table.

"Aww sis. No!" I heard Tyler say. He left along with the others, seeing as I was ignoring him and the bell had rung. I quickly arrived at their table and everyone looked up at me. I realized that the 2 blondes had left. I sat down beside Emmett and pulled out my wallet.

"Do you know this kid? He's a sophomore and he's new here." I asked. I was feigning innocence.

"Umm. Yeah." He replied. I huffed. In a movement so quick he didn't have time to react I grabbed his hair and pulled his head back. I pulled out a lighter and held it to the base of his neck. I knew that the one single flame that could come from this lighter, could quickly end his life.

"Listen here," I was spitting out the words through my teeth. " You will apologize to my brother and you won't bother him with that kind of crap and I won't bother you or expose your family. Got it Vampy?" I asked. the remaining people at the table stared in disbelief. Emmett nodded and gulped. I let go of him and stood, smoothing my mini-skirt at the same time. I smiled apologetically at the two others.

"I'd better get going. O and don't think I won't do anything if you pick on my brother again." I said as I turned to go. I walked to my next class, refusing to be late. I looked at my schedule. Biology, Room #7. I walked into the class room. I saw the teacher get up and smile.

"You'll have to sit next to Mr. Cullen." He pointed to the same bronze-haired boy who's brother I just threatened. The teacher continued, "This will be rather hard for him, I believe, seeing as his old lab partner, Mrs. Swan, will be being replaced." I nodded in agreement and went to sit next to the him. he scooted his books out of the way, making room. Nice gesture, maybe he wasn't as bad as I thought he would be. I saw him smile a little at my thought and then it was quickly gone. He must be one with special powers. I had no idea what to do. I felt tension in the room. It was got heavier with each passing second. I felt something nudge my thumb and looked down. There was a note.

(Edward Malia)

How do you know about us?

My sister is one of you. She was turned when I was 13.

O.

Yeah. I know this is definitely a touchy subject for you but I just wanna let you know that I'm really sorry about what happened to Bella. But just know that a part of her will always be around you.

I could see his body tense. Maybe that wasn't the right thing to say. His reply told me I was right.

How do you know what happened to her? How do you know that she'll always be around me? how do you know any thing about a situation that you don't have any relation to? How do you know?

I could feel the anger and sadness rolling off of him and his harsh words. I immediately thought about the time when I was in the hospital and they told me I needed a new heart. I thought about looking in the mirror that day and seeing the tears. I was 16. I remember being in the hospital about to die when a doctor came running into the room talking about how they found a heart. I remember passing under the white lights of the hospital and hearing them talk about the girl who's heart I was getting.

(Doctor's talking)

"18 year old Caucasian Female. Forks, WA. Died in cliff-diving accident." And then I blacked-out.

I snapped back to reality. I wrote more on the note.

I told you that there would be a part of her around me. She saved my life. You don't know how grateful I am.

The bell rang. I hadn't realized how fast the class had gone by. I hurried to my last class: Gym.

"Can…Can I walk you to your class? I think we might need to talk." Edward asked as he walked out of the classroom behind me.

"Uhh, sure." I responded. I didn't think there was anything to talk about. "I can get out Gym." I said with a smirk.

"Wait? What do you mean by "get out", he asked. He looked worried by my statement. I laughed but he still did not crack a smile. I stopped quickly and sighed. I turned toward the gym door and walked in. I didn't know how I was getting out of this one. I'd have to think of something. I quickly did.

"Ummm, Coach? I really don't feel good." I said. Edward raised his eyebrows as if to ask if that's what I called acting. Coach Travis looked the same. I started turning myself green, a trick I had learned a long time ago. The coach was starting to believe.

"I don't know, Delahow. DO you really feel that bad?" He asked. I nodded. "Okay, Okay, you can go but just for today and go see the nurse. Cullen, you take her."

Edward led me out into the parking lot.

"Someone gotta a new Range Rover." He said.

"That would be mine." I said. I had returned back to my tan, freckled face. I started walking towards my car.

"We're driving my car." He said grabbing my wrist.

"Ugh, no, we are not." I said rather forcefully.

"Yes, we are." He said back. I cocked my hip and put my hand on it. I raised my eyebrow and clicked my high-heeled shoe on the pavement. I wasn't getting in that when I could get this. Apparently, my thoughts offended him.

"What do you mean by that?" he asked.

"I meant, I just got this car and I want to ride in it." I said desprately.

"Fine." He said. I smiled triumphantly. I climbed in the front seat and started the car. He climbed in. I turned on the radio. "Lazy Eye" by Silversun Pickups came on and I started bobbing my head as I pulled out of the parking lot. I started going fast, just the way I liked it. Edward stared out of the window. Obviously I was bringing up some memories that were hard for him.

"I'm so thankful for her. You have no idea. I know it hurts that she died, and I'm not being selfish, but I wouldn't be alive if she hadn't." I was trying to break the ice, but it didn't seem to be working. " I know you loved her, I can see it in your eye and trust me, I know what it feels like to lose someone that you feel that way about it. But she didn't choose to leave you, my boyfriend did."

He turned his head towards me.

"Why did you boyfriend leave?" he asked. I cringed at the question. I was really in love with Michael, but apparently he didn't feel that way about me. He left when he found out about my condition.

"He left because of my heart. He said he was afraid of getting hurt." I said. I could feel the onslaught of tears coming and did everything I could to stop them but they wouldn't stop. My voice cracked as I started to speak, "It just sucks, you know? Cause its like he left me for something I can't control. He left because of something I had no opinion in. I couldn't have changed anything to stop him. Oh, God. I'm being such a wimp."

"No, you're not." He said back.

"I shouldn't being crying. It's stupid. It's his fault he left. It's not mine that he's a selfish butt and he wasn't there when I needed him. but I can't seem to stop blaming myself." The scenery swept by us in a flash. I was heading to my house. I loved my house. It was perfect. A huge river flowed along beside the house. I loved every inch of it. Every little detail. I pulled in to the front of it. We far away from anyone and none would know we lived back here. The house was like a plantation house back in my old state. My family was wealthy, very wealthy. It sat on a hill and on the hill was a set of brick steps that led up to the house. It had different levels dug into the ground, each one with a flower bed in them. I walked up the steps up to the house. I turned around to see Edward staring in awe at the house. I laughed lightly. He looked up at me and I rolled my eyes. I continued up the steps gracefully. When I reached the top I looked at my watch.

O Crap.

Don't get excited that's not a cliffy!!!!!! Its stupid I just felt like ending this chapter. It really came to me, this story did. I know the ending and everything. I don't know endings for the other stories I've written. Lol. Don't kill me because I killed off Bella. Trust me, it hurts enough. O and for those of you who don' understand how she died, she died when she went cliffdiving. I've made it pretty clear in the story! NO FLAMES!!!!!!
