Hi guys!!!!

Wow. I am so, so, so happy to see all of the feedback I got within just a day. Wait… Under 24 hours. All of you guys rock. When I say feedback makes my day, I mean it. It's really incredible. Like, I came home from school and checked my email, all to find a million billion Fan Fiction emails. It's bomb. But anyways, I really love it when you favorite or review or subscribe. Thanks to Sarah for all of the support, ideas, and help. You're the best. And another thanks to TwilighterluvsEdward for being such a fantastic friend, and of course writer. (Check her stories out if you get a chance.) Love you for reading!

Chapter 2

I'm in the cafeteria eating my lunch by myself as usual when Edward walks up with Tanya. Then, Rosalie and Jane and Aro and even Emmett appear along side them. All of the popular kids. Tanya suddenly has a cup of coffee in her hands that she splashes on me and all of the books. They become drenched.

"What was that f-" I hiss, but get interrupted.

Jane growls, "Just shut up! You stupid __________ ___________ ___________!!!!!! (An: Insert your favorite cusses) Why don't you just leave? Nobody even wants you here."

"Yeah, why are you even here? I don't understand why you always hover around here. Nobody likes you. Nobody ever will. You're a teacher's pet. A loner. A complete waste of space and time." adds Emmett while Aro nods agreeing.

"But, Emmett…" I sigh.

"Just leave." Edward says flatly. A streak of pure fury in his big green eyes haunts me.

My cheeks grow hot and a lump swells up in my already dry throat while tears well up in my eyes. I run off sobbing. My heart hurts. I can't breathe. I struggle to find space in my lungs for a tiny breath of air, but nothing happens. The walls seem to be shrinking, and I can hear my trustworthy brother repeating his cruel words. I can see that glint of nothing but anger in Edward's eyes. When I can finally breathe again the smell of hate overwhelms me. I faint with a crashing sound as I clunk on the ground. Nobody comes to help me.

Real Time

I woke up from my nightmare at 4:37. Microscopic droplets of sweat poured down my face as I get out of my bed and go to the bathroom across the hall. My heart fluttered in my chest. It was so sad. These people tortured me at school, and now they had somehow found a way of messing with me in my dreams, making me think of my brother hating me. It just wasn't fair. It wasn't fair at all.

I walked into the bathroom and slashed cold water on my face. Ah. I peered into the mirror and saw how terrible I looked. I had deep purple bags, tangled hair. I was a mess. But who will care? Who will even notice? Who will ever notice?

There was a squeaky creaking sound coming from my brother's room. I had woken him up.

Emmett quietly opened up his bedroom door with an alert expression. Emmett's sloppy dark brown curls were messed up.

"Bella?" he asked with a hushed voice.

"Sorry, Emmett. I had a bad dream, and I don't think I'll be able to go back to bed now." I whispered.

He coughed a bit, "Alright, then. I don't think I'll be able to get back to sleep either. Wanna go downstairs"

"Sure." I said eagerly.

Emmett nudged me and we skipped down the steep stairs gently, not wanting to wake up our parents.

The house was dark and chillingly silent. With the curtains closed, and the lack of noise it was peaceful. Emmett headed towards the living room and flicked on while I started to boil a pot of water to make instant hot chocolate for the each of us. The pot started to whistle eventually.

As I was pouring hot water Emmett asked, "So, what was the bad dream about?"

"You, and Tanya, and Rosalie, and Aro, and Jane, and this boy I met at the library." I casually said.

"What boy?" Emmett wondered.

"Oh he was nobody. Nobody important at least."

Emmett's face grew confused, and then slightly angry. "What boy? Bella, did he treat you badly in any way? If he did… Oh, if he did he wouldn't even know what hit him. I'd -"

"Emmett, really. He was just a boy who is going to go to our school. He's new. He didn't even know me. As a matter of fact, we got along well. I don't know why I'm having bad dreams, but it's nothing to get you worked up for. It's okay, Em. It'll always be okay."

About being okay, I didn't know if I was trying to convince Emmett, or myself.

I brought two mugs of hot cocoa to the living room filled to the rim with sweet, warm drink and whipped cream on the top. "Here." I said as I passed a cup to Emmett.

"Thanks."

Emmett and I sat in silence until the sun rose, we began to hear our parents get up, and I knew I would have to start another horrible day of school, And I didn't know if I would even be talked to. I didn't know if I would be completely verbally abused either. But either way, I would end up having to go to school. I would end up having to go…

AN:

What did you think? I know this chapter is short, but other chapters will get longer and better eventually. I just wanted to show some fears that Bella had (Emmett hating her, Edward hating her and joining the group of mean kids) and show the sweet side of Emmett and how he defends Bella. If you guys review a lot, and favorite, and add to alerts (but mostly favorite) then I'll be sure to post sooner. I just really like hearing what you think of the story. Alright then, love you for reading!
