Ch.2

BPOV:

Instead he's a monster in my bed.

I gasped sitting up. This song had been playing over and over in my head. I was in the car on my way to airport when Phil's daughter put it on.

I had come up with the bad lie that I wanted to leave Phoenix for Forks. Forks actually scared me incredibly out of my wits.

I was sure nothing that caused me so much physical damage would be something to remember. I pouted a bit in my seat. I was sick of this stupid airplane ride, of the babbling college boy who was talking to my chest more than to me, and my life.

Why did I have to go and sacrifice myself? I felt like I threw myself into the den of the lion. I was barely feeling good about school and letting the past go but Renee's sad attitude about me and Phil's nosiness was enough to drive a girl insane.

That boy is a monster, muh-muh-muh monster.

I internally growled. Go away you song, you invader of privacies, and disturbance to peace. I closed off the conversation completely with college boy and slipped on my earphones.

There's a place off Ocean Avenue where I used to sit and sleep with you. We were both seventeen and it used to feel so right sleeping all day and staying up all night

I shook my head to the beat of Yellow Card. I smiled as I let the lyrics take me to a happy place where romance was the worst of my memories.

Take me away, yeah, oh yeah.

I slipped off the plane ignoring Phil's phone call. Just because he had married my mother after my dad, and then he went and left her, well because of all that he didn't have to care so much!

I shifter my weight to the other foot, feeling an ooze of guilt. I refused to let the guilt dominate my actions. I sighed happily as Muse sang. I hugged my dad and without a word to each other we were off in the cruiser.

Oooh, How much pain has quenched your soul, how much love would make you hold, you're my guiding lightning strike. I can't find a word to say that aren't overdue. I'd travel half the world to say

I belong to you.

"Oh, dad! " I suddenly remembered. "Can you stop at the store? I'm really craving chocolate cake!" I begged. He looked at me strangely.

"Okay, Bells." He looked at me weird before pulling in and letting me skip happily into the store. I ignored the rain pounding rudely on my face and hair.

It had been a stuffy ride everywhere and now I could only welcome it.

I was humming along to I Belong to You by Muse and ran into a pixie. For a moment, I was pretty sure she was a fairy and I walked right into her.

"I am so sorry!" I gasped. She was obviously just a really nice girl whom I was rudely calling a pixie.

She chuckled. "It's okay, I'm so small people tend to miss me-"

She stopped midsentence when she looked up at me. I was walking past a really smooth silver Volvo and in front of it a young girl, this pixie, stood. She was glaring at me. My eyes turned to the figure next to her but- The vision had already ended.

She looked at me with the shock in her eyes. My vision had provided no information on her identity, only on her apparent hate for me.

"I'm Bella." I stuck out my hand robotically. She frowned.

"Listen Swan girl, I don't know what you're doing back in town but you need to stay away." She warned. I took a step back stunned and hurt.

I must've done something before that hurt this girl. She stomped off to the cashier and I stood there, my hand still sticking out.

I blinked and walked robotically to the table that held loads of cakes. I was pretty damn sad so I got the cake and a gallon of orange juice.

I couldn't stand milk by itself. I stood in line and got back in the cruiser.

"Did you find the cake?" Charlie asked teasingly. I smiled automatically and robotically.

I held up the bag. "Yup."

Renee made a grand drama of my return but I escaped upstairs with my juice and cake. And I cried. I cried and cried.

I hated having been sent off to live with my mother's ex because they found Forks to bad for me. I hated coming back to Forks. I stared off into space. My untouched cake sat rejected on my night drawer.

EPOV:

"Then she went I'm Bella like if I'm a retard." She shook her head sniggering. "You should've seen her face of shock when I told her to back off."

I frowned as we pulled into the parking lot. It had happened a week ago. My week of relaxation was over and now I was back to school. Back to hell.

I sat in my car till the bell rang. I had barely sat down for a minute when an announcement came on:

Junior and senior students report for an assembly in the school gym .All Junior and senior students please report to the gym. Thank you.

I heaved myself up and marched to the gym along with everyone else. Girls got together on one side and a couple threw themselves with some boys. Giggling and flirty comments flew through the air as the principal tried to get out attention.

"STUDENTS I HAVE SOME IMPORTANT NEWS FOR YOU!" No one cared. "A CLASSMATE OF YOURS WILL BE RETURNING TO SCHOOL TODAY." I cared, but no one listened. "ISABELLA SWAN WILL BE IN CLASSES WITH YOU ALL TODAY." Dead silence let him know everyone cared about that. It was too hot in here. I was suffocating.

"Now you have to all know something." He answered in a much more quiet voice. "Bella Swan lost her memory in an accident. She had to leave because of that reason. You all must understand that this is a very sensitive and important thing to note. She has lost her memory but this she seems to have short flashbacks in memory of people."

Everyone gasped and whispers spread like fire. Alice looked absolutely stunned. "LISTEN, I WANT YOU ALL TO BE ON YOUR BEST BEHAVIOR AND MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE ON MRS. SWAN! THANK YOU! GO BACK TO CLASS." He yelled over the whispers.

The noise was back as the student jumped off either glad to be out, or dreading to return to their class.

BPOV:

I know it's impossible to really have memory of dying or being dead and coming back to life. But I felt like if I had. I knew exactly how dead bodies felt when people were at their funeral, hearing things about them.

Things that were only said when people felt pity and a deep sense of sorry for you. I knew exactly how that felt.

I snuck back outside and away from the doors outside the gym before someone saw me. It was absolutely horrible. Never had I felt such a deep sense of embarrassment mixed in with such sadness.

I felt dead or ready to die. I was mortified of these people. I took a deep breath.

After all you tied the rope to hang yourself with. You filled the tub up to the brim with water. Might as well hang yourself. Might as well drown.

I took a deep breath and headed to Spanish class. I was so familiar with these walls and hallways. People weren't here yet. I was about to walk into the room when I realized the teacher had locked it. Of course she did, they had gone to the gym.

I groaned as I stood outside those doors. I could hear them coming. Oh no oh no.

I was trembling now. I couldn't do. My legs wouldn't move though.

Come on!-Brain

Get it over with already, you fool.-Legs.

I felt my heart stutter, too late to go back.

Fool-Brain.

I slipped on my headphones quickly as everyone marched in. Thank God, I saw that movie Alice in Wonderland and go the soundtrack.

Avril Lavigne- Alice (Underground)

Dripping out standing out

I'm underground I fell down. I fell down.

I'm freakin' out so where am I now?

Upside down now and I can't it now!

You can't stop me now.

Everyone passed by me staring.

I'll survive. When the world falls and hits the floor, I won't cry.

The most beautiful boy passed by with copper hair. I didn't flash but I did lose my breath.

Found myself in Wonderland.

I was so lost in the green gaze.

Get back on my feet my girl. Is this real? Is this pretend?

I'll take a stand until the end.

I was so lost.

School? Who cares!

Parents? They can manage without me.

Book? Fiction was never better than reality.

Fame? As long as he knew I existed.

The bell rang and I realized where I was. I looked around. The Adonis was gone and I was here. I was swept off my feet again. I hated this. I hated being caught off guard. I can do this I thought as I rushed into class.
