Disclaimer: I don't own the genius that is Twilight. I just make the characters get drunk, get tattoos, and get preggers.

BTW: When she says, "my kids" she includes Allison in there."

BTW of the BTW: this is completely unbeta'd. It's all me!

You Wouldn't Do The Same

BPOV

I broke off as our gazes clashed. What the hell was he doing here? Were the rest of them here too? What the hell was he doing here?

I tore my eyes from his as I shook my head, smiling at the class.

"Sorry about that, everybody. My brain isn't working quite right today." I smiled, refusing to even look in his direction. "So, as I was saying, I'll be your English teacher this year. We'll be doing some simple introductory stuff today, but I have to take roll first."

I walked back to my side of the desk and picked up the clipboard with the class roster on it. I walked back to the other side of the desk and sat on the edge with my legs crossed. The door swung open and all eyes, including mine, moved to the door to see who had come in.

The amber eyes of the student darted to mine and she let out a squeal as she danced over to my desk. Alice. Well, my hopes of it just being him went down the toilet. If she was here, then so was Jasper, and Emmett, and Rosalie. Probably Esme and Carlisle as well. Yippee.

"Hi, Ms. Swan! Sorry I'm late, my name's Alice." she said, sticking her hand out.

I stared at it until she let it drop. "My name is Ms. Masen, Alice. Please take a seat." I said in a cold, detached voice. I couldn't bring myself to meet her eyes, afraid I would say something stupid.

Her face dropped, as if id slapped her, and she said, "Yes, ma'am," She turned and walked to the seat next to him.

As soon as she hit the seat, I started roll call.

Apparently tuning me out, she turned her head minutely towards him and whispered, "What's wrong with her? Why isn't she happy to see us?"

He shrugged, keeping his eyes on the wood grain. "I don't know Alice. But I'd bet you anything she's the one who bought our old house."

I cleared my throat and said, "Alice Cullen," She raised her hand. "Ed-Edward Cullen," I said, my voice breaking. He raised his hand. Before I said the next name, I murmured under my breath, "I can hear you, you know."

Their heads snapped up, and I rolled my eyes. I was like them now; of course I could hear them.

I finished roll and said, "So do you guys wanna know about each other, or me?" with a raised eyebrow.

They all said, "You," even the Cullens.

I leaned back and crossed my arms over my chest as I pursed my lips.

"Well, I'm 25. I have my Masters' Degree in English Education from Stanford. I love kids, hence my job. And… hmmm… I am probably one of the only females in this classroom who hates chocolate." I said with a coy grin. They all chuckled, with a dramatic gasp from one of the girls.

"Well, you know about me, so the rest of the time is yours to use as social time. Have fun, and keep it school appropriate." I aimed that last part at a group of jocks that looked like quite the horn dogs.

I went back behind my desk and opened my laptop, seeing that Eddie and Elizabeth were on IM. Figures, Allison was the only innocent one. I opened a chat room for the three of us and typed a single message. "PAY ATTENTION TO CLASS." The second after I clicked submit, both of their screen names disappeared from the list of people online.

I smiled to myself as I opened a new word document, typing up the lesson plan and class syllabus for tomorrow.

The bell rang and I kept my eyes on the screen as the class filed out of the room.

The next period, I didn't have my kids, or the Cullens, and before I knew it, it was lunch time.

I locked my things in my desk and walked across campus to the cafeteria to get my "lunch".

I pushed through the door and the room fell silent. Not again, I thought to myself as a wolf-whistle tore through the room. My eyes found the source immediately, and even though I wanted to smile, I couldn't bring myself to. Emmett was such a doofus.

I mumbled under my breath, "Some things never change."

The principal, Mike Newton, the grandson of my old personal golden retriever, came up to me and said, "Do you have a minute, Isabella?"

I nodded, "Sure, Mike"

He smiled, "Excellent," He led me to the front of the room where there was a monitor and what looked like a karaoke machine set up. Oh no. "Excuse me, everybody. Ms. Masen here is going to start a new tradition here, teacher's karaoke! Give her a hand!"

I whispered to him, "Do I have to do this?"

The bastard chuckled at me! He nodded and said, "Pick two songs, please,"

Well, if I had to do this, I was going to do two of the songs I had written myself. I glanced at the Cullens' table, back at Mike, and said, "I'll do Behind These Hazel Eyes, and Grenade."

He nodded and handed me the mic. The music started and I began to sing.

Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

I looked at the Cullens as I sang the next verse, hoping they understood what I was trying to tell them.
Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself

I met Edward's eyes for a second, but I had to squeeze mine shut and squat down in pain.
Seeing you it kills me now

I heard two very distinct slapping sounds.
No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore...
Anymore...

When I looked up, Edward was rubbing the back of his head and Emmett and Alice were glaring at him.

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

The music ended and before anyone could clap, the next song started.

Easy come, easy go, that's just how you live
Oh, take, take, take it all but you never give
Should've known you was trouble from the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open, why were they open?

Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand is

I'd catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya

I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same

No, no, no, no

Black, black, black and blue, beat me 'til I'm numb

I met Edward's eyes and curled back my upper lip in a snarl as I sang the next line.
Tell the devil I said, hey, when you get back to where you're from
Mad boy, bad boy, that's just what you are, yeah
You'll smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car

Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, yes, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand is

I'd catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya

I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for ya, baby
But you won't do the same

The next verse was again sung directly at Edward.I hoped he felt bad. I loved him with everything I was, and he just pretended. Stupid arrogant prick.

If my body was on fire
Ooh, you'd watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me, you're a liar
'Cause you never, ever, ever did, baby

But darling, I'd still catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya

I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same

No, you won't do the same
You wouldn't do the same
Ooh, you never do the same
No, no, no, no

The music ended and I heard people clapping, but all I could hear was Edward, telling me he didn't want me. Telling me I wasn't good enough for him.

I had to get out of there.

I handed Mike the microphone and ducked my head, running as fast as could be considered human back to my classroom. I didn't hear footsteps following me, and for that I was grateful. My kids had no doubt figured out that the mystery people from my paintings were here, and that we had some bad history, but I hoped that was all they knew. If one of the Cullens had followed, I wouldn't have been able to restrain myself, I would have broken down.

I could only think one thing: How would I survive them being here? If seeing them had caused me to almost break down, I couldn't even fathom what being near them for extended periods of time would do.

Sooo? I updated earlier than usual because of a certain someone nagging me about it… But nonetheless, I hope you liked it.
