AN- Yay!! The third chapter is here!!! I'm just going to apologize now cause I don't know that much about cancer… I'm trying to look up stuff about it, but I'm no good at reading medical jargon. So, SORRY!! Also, the POV is gonna switch a couple of times… just Edward and Bella, no weird other point of view…

The only thing people thought about all day was the new girl. Isabella was her name, but she preferred to be called Bella. I normally wouldn't have cared about it, but as the only mind reader in the family, it was my responsibility to make sure she had no suspicions.

I didn't actually see her until lunch. She stumbled in looking pale, she had dark circles under her eyes, and she looked extremely weak, but even through all of that, she was absolutely gorgeous.

Her looks rivaled Rosalie's; she had beautiful, thick, brown hair, and luscious pink lips. She was slim but had subtle curves in all the right places. Her eyes were deep pools of the most beautiful shade of chocolate brown I had ever seen, they looked bottomless. All of a sudden Jasper's thoughts broke into my contemplations.

"Why is she in so much pain?" He thought, "It feels like she's going to pass out any minute!"

I took another glance at her and found her staring back at me. She had a strange look in her eyes, like she had lost all hope of living.

I tried to pick her thoughts out of the swarm of humming voices I could hear in my head and couldn't find her. There was a space where her thoughts should be, they just weren't there. It was like I had hit a brick wall.

"What does the new girl think about us, Eddie?" Emmet asked.

"I don't know," I murmured, ignoring the annoying nickname he had given me. "But Jessica's giving her all the details on us." I smirked a little as I heard Jessica sulk about how I had turned her down.

All during my conversation with Emmet, I had kept eye contact with the girl, but Lauren, a particularly cruel girl had asked her a question.

"Oh!" Alice squealed, "Listen to what she says!"

The whole family was now paying attention to what was going on.

"So Bella," Lauren sneered, "Your car's like really old and cheap right? It's pretty ugly looking too."

I felt a wave of rage rush through me. I didn't understand why, but I felt like I had to protect this girl. A calm feeling replaced the anger and I mumbled thanks to Jasper.

"No problem" He said.

But it seemed like Bella didn't need my help because without missing a beat, she said,

"Yeah, it's pretty old, but at least it's not a fake. Tell me" She said in an icy voice, "How much did your daddy pay for that nose job?"

Lauren's mouth dropped open in a shocked gasp,

"Because if I were you," She continued, "I'd get a refund, you still look like crap."

With that, she got up leaving her table shocked. My family on the other hand, was laughing so loud people were starting to stare at us.

"I have a feeling school's going to be much more interesting with her around" Emmet guffawed.

The bell rang and we all headed to our separate classes. I sat in my seat in Biology as Bella walked in. The teacher gave her the only free seat left, which happened to be the seat next to mine.

I cleared my things off of her side of the table we would be sharing and studied her as she stumbled over to her seat. As she passed by me, I caught a whiff of her scent and felt myself go rigid.

It took all of the will power I possessed not to jump on her and suck her dry. I felt like a blood-crazed newborn all over again. The only thing that kept me from letting the blood-crazed monster in me take control was the image of Carlisle's face and how disappointed he would be if I took this girl's life. Sure, he would be totally understanding, but he wouldn't be able to lie to me through his thoughts, I would hear his disappointment no matter how hard he tried to hide it.

I heard a small cry come from the girl as she realized that I was staring, no- glaring at her. I saw my face through some of my classmate's minds. I was absolutely horrified to see that the whole room was terrified of me… even the teacher.

I could smell the fear coming off of the girl I had just come so close to killing when I realized that I didn't have to breathe, I was a vampire!

When I cut off my senses of smell and taste I looked away from her and sat there, horrified at what I had almost done.

I couldn't believe I had been so ready to take her life! It was disgusting. I had been thinking of ways to kill her! I sat the rest of the class disappointed in myself and hoped that Alice hadn't seen my plans.

When the bell finally rang, I rushed out of the room, deciding to skip the rest of the day.

I couldn't pay attention all during Biology. Partly because I was in so much pain, but mostly because there was a very angry person glaring at me the whole time. When the bell rang, Edward was out of the room before any of us were even out of our seats.

I had never been so offended in my life. I couldn't understand how I deserved to be glared at for forty-five freakin minutes by a stranger I had never even talked to.

I was still furious as I drove my truck to the hospital after school. As I got closer and closer to my destination, though, I got increasingly more and more nervous. When I finally arrived at the hospital, I was downright petrified.

I checked in at the front desk and read one of those stupid "make your home better cause we know it sucks" magazines that was sitting on the table until my name was called.

I followed the nurse into a boring white room and made myself comfortable as she told me that the doctor would be right in.

"Yeah right," I thought, "These stupid doctors take forever."

Surprisingly, though, after only a couple of minutes, a handsome, young looking doctor walked in and introduced himself. He looked extremely familiar, but I couldn't figure it out.

"It'll come to me later" I thought.

"Hello Isabella, I'm Dr. Cullen, but you can call me Carlisle" He said.

"I'll call you Carlisle if you call me Bella," I retorted.

"Sounds like a deal Bella," He said, smiling.

Carlisle was in the middle of asking me the usual boring doctor questions when somebody burst into the room. When I realized who it was, I mentally smacked myself for not connecting the names. Of course! Carlisle had to be related to Edward somehow! They were both too gorgeous to not be related!

When Edward figured out that there was someone else in the room, he went stiff, turned completely around to face me head on, and glared, again.

"Oh! How original is he!" I thought.

Edward was a completely different person than I remembered him, I finally realized why, his beautiful topaz eyes had turned flat black.

I felt all the pent up rage explode inside of me and resorted to my natural defense system, sarcasm.

"Well Carlisle," I sneered, "I'm no genius, but if looks could kill, I'm pretty sure I'd be dead right now. What do you think doc?"

"Carlisle," Edward growled, "I need to talk to you right now."

"Of course Edward," Carlisle said. "I'll be right back Bella."

"Ok" I mumbled as they rushed out of the room. I waited for about five seconds then gathered my things and walked right out of the hospital. There was no way in hell my doctor was going to be the father of my worst enemy.

My head was pounding as I got into my truck and drove home. I was feeling dizzy and nauseous, just like I had that day at the mall, but I tried to push through it until I got home.

As I passed over the only river in Forks, everything went black.

"What was that about Edward?" Carlisle asked, concerned.

Of course, Carlisle wasn't mad at me for growling at his patient; he was merely concerned as to why I did it.

"She has the sweetest blood I have ever smelled," I confessed, "It took all I had not to kill her at school today."

"Well son, if you have to get away, take my car, it has more gas." Carlisle said.

"Thank you," I said, and rushed out of the hospital.

I was halfway out of Forks when my phone rang.

"What Alice?" I growled.

"Edward, Bella passed out on her way home, and she crashed her car in the river! You have to help her!" Alice begged.

"I'm on my way," I said and threw the phone on the ground as I turned my car around and sped off in the direction of the only river in Forks.

By the time I got there, Bella's truck was almost submerged in the water. I cursed her bad luck and made my way to over to her.

The driver's door was jammed up against a large boulder, so I just ripped the roof of the truck open, not bothering to waste any time. Bella was slumped over her steering wheel, unconscious. I held her cold, limp body in my arms as I ran to the hospital, praying I wasn't too late.

AN- This had to be my favorite chapter so far… I love the part where Bella disses Edward! I wrote that part and the part where she burned Lauren before I was even finished with the first chapter! Lilyflower-314, do you think Edward needs some eggs for his burn too??
