A/N: This is a rewrite of Save Me, Forever. I decided that since so many people liked it I would go back and edit it, giving you longer chapters in the process. SO! Here is updated Chapter 1, hope you like it as much as the original. Review please!

As soon as I get to my room I see that Edward is already there. He has a small smile on his face and he holds his arms out for me to crawl into. I get onto the bed and snuggle close into his stone cold arms. He strokes my hair gently and we sit there for a few minutes, just taking in each other, something we've come to do ever since the James incident, Edward doesn't really like leaving my side.

"Tomorrow will be sunny so we'll be going hunting. Just in the nearby mountain range so I won't be too far from you." Edward smirks. I make a face at him, he doesn't like being gone from me just as much as I don't like him being gone. Stupid, secretive vampire.

"How long will you be gone?" I ask.

"I'll pick you up for school the following morning, love." I nodded, though a little saddened that I would have to sleep by myself the following night.

"Ok, I'll miss you though." I say and lay my head down on his cold chest. He wraps his arms around me, pulling me closer. "It feels like forever when your gone."

"I know the feeling." he says. Then Edward hums my lullaby and I slowly drift to sleep.

I wake up the next morning alone, much to my dismay. I get out of bed and go to take a shower. The warm water feels good against my back, and it wakes me up. I get dressed in comfortable clothes and walk downstairs. Looking outside, a habit I have of waiting for Edward, I see that Charlie's cruiser is gone, he already left for work. I eat a bowl of cereal for breakfast, realizing how boring it actually is to eat alone. I sigh and walk outside. I get in my car to find a note with the beautiful script that is Edward's handwriting.

Bella,

Be safe. I will be back tomorrow morning. Missing you already.

Love,

Edward

I smile as I read the note, as well as roll my eyes. Be safe, such a challenge.

School starts out normally. But I feel lonely walking to class without Edward. First period has always been easy, English being the class I've already done the work in. We are reading The Scarlet Letter right now, the book was pretty good, if I say so myself. God knows I've already read all the classics.

I walk with Jessica to lunch and sit with all the rest of my friends. The table seems livelier without the Cullens somehow. It's amazing the impact they have on people. Angela and I make small talk, and Mike is happy to be at the table without the Cullens.

"Hey Bella, where's Edward today?" he asks.

"They went camping, Mike, like they always do when its sunny." I told him, I didn't like being rude, but it happened every time Edward left, he needed to let go.

"So you don't have any plans tonight?" Mike asked boldly. I sigh and turn to Mike.

"I've got a lot of homework tonight Mike, I don't think I can do anything."

"Oh." Mike said. "Well, maybe next time."

"Sure sure Mike." I told him.

After lunch is over I walk through the hallways with Angela on the way to Biology, and that's when I hear it. A gun shot. Everything after that happens in slow motion. The glass shatters, splintering in all directions, students starting running this way and that, trying to get out of the school. A sharp pain engulfs my leg, and I buckle under, my already unbalanced body thrown off by the pain in my leg.

I look up to see the guy with the gun standing there in shock. Only to see him snap out of it and hide the gun. I briefly wonder who he was, but I didn't get a good look at his face. A voice sounds over the intercoms.

"EVERYONE STAY CALM, PLEASE PROCEDE TO THE NEAREST CLASSROOM AND LOCK THE DOORS, WE ARE OFFICIALLY ON LOCKDOWN." No one listened, they all headed towards the door, too afraid to stay inside to meet the mouth of a gun.

The pain in my leg is excruciating, and getting outside or to a classroom is nearly impossible. To my right is the library, I figure I can drag myself in there to stay safe.

Slowly but surely I stand up, holding onto the walls I make my way to the library doors and open them enough to walk through them. Only then do I lose my balance and fall flat on my face on the floor. Now tears are in my eyes, the shock worn out and in its place is fear, and pain. I crawl to the nearest bookshelf and sit myself against it.

"Breathe, just breathe." I keep saying to myself. My new mantra, and I wait for someone to find me. I wish Edward was here. Tears are streaming down my face and I don't have the nerve to wipe them away. "Why does this always happen to me?" I whisper to the empty room.

"Somebody, help."
