AN: All characters in this story are Human. This is an alternate Twilight universe. I don't own Twilight. And also, this story is not for the faint of heart. Read with caution. It's in Bella's point of view.

It was an ordinary day at Forks High.
Or so I'd thought that morning.
Edward had picked me up in his Volvo, with Alice and Rosalie in the back. The talked about the end of the year graduation party they were throwing. Since they all had the biggest house, it was set for a week from now in their living room.
Edward was silent most of the ride to school.
When we had gotten to the building, Alice and Rosalie couldn't wait to hand out invitations so they were gone in a flash. It was just Edward and I now.
"Bella." He leaned closer.
"Oh, Edward. I can't wait for graduation! Then we can announce our engagement.."
He kissed me suddenly, our lips moving together in perfect harmony.
He broke off. "I can't wait." He said, gathering his things.
"Edward! Wait."
"What is it, Bella?"
"I love you."
I'd never said that before. Not even after that special night we'd shared a few weeks ago. He gulped, nodded, and headed off to class. Wait, what!? He didn't return the favor. I sat in the car. I was late for class, but I just sat in Edward's car and cried. He didn't love me.

I completely missed first period, but I made sure to be there for second. It was English, and we were studying Wuthering Heights, my favorite book. The class passed by too quickly for my liking, but was overly enjoyable, despite my mood.
I headed to lunch to meet up with Edward. He'd gotten both of our lunches and was sitting at our usual table, next to the gang, My best friend Alice, her sister Rosalie, (Alice, Rosalie, and Edward were siblings), and their boyfriends, Jasper and Emmett. Also, my guy best friend Jacob, and his friends Embry, Paul, and Quil. Angela and Ben were joining us around the table, too. The cafeteria was full.
Alice babbled on about the party, one that I was actually looking forward to.
"It's going to be SO great. I've gotten the decorations, and my mom is making her famous homemade pizza! Ooh! We'll have music and a dance floor. And a buffet!"
Everyone was either paying attention to their lunch, or listening intently.
Something screamed. A loud, ear-piercing bang in the distance. More screaming. I looked up. The sounds were awful. Everything was moving around me so fast. Everyone was running. Screaming.
I got up as well. I'd grabbed two hands. Edward and Alice's. By accident. I didn't let go. If I'd heard right I knew what had happened. A gun. A gun here in Forks.
I fell my self falling, but Edward caught me. More gunshots in the distance. I was dizzy, confused.
How could there be a gun in Forks?
And better yet, who was holding it?
I was able to stand now, so Edward set me down. The cafeteria was almost empty now. Where had everybody gone? Were they...dead? Edward, Alice, and Jacob stood around me now. Alice was crying, I couldn't see why. Then there was someone walking towards us. It was Mike!
And he was holding a gun. Edward was standing in front of me, trying to run.
I heard the most awful sound. Edward fell down before me, face up. I screamed, and my knees buckled underneath me, sending me crashing to the ground.
I was crying, screaming. I looked into Edward's eyes. He was dead. I looked into Mike's. He was staring at me, pointing the gun to my head. His eyes looked cloudy. Dark.
He walked forward, gun still pointed to my head.

Review, so I know if you like it. I don't have to continue if you hate it! I have other story ideas, I guess.
