A.N.: To everyone following this story thanks for the support and I hope you all enjoy my latest post! Sorry it took so long but as you all should know life is always crazy and mine just keeps getting crazier but I will try to update much faster I just couldn't seem to find the right ending for this chapter!

As Bella slept that evening she was plagued by nightmares. Waking up her eyes were bloodshot red. She didn't know exactly how many hours of sleep she had gotten. But she knew that if she didn't fall asleep during school today it would be a miracle.

Bella dressed in a daze. She ate her cereal and she fell asleep over the bowl nearly twice. As Charlie walked in he caught her nearly falling into the bowl.

"Did you get any sleep at all last night?" Charlie raised his eyebrow. Pouring coffee into his thermos he began to be concerned about his daughter.

Bella yawned suddenly. "I'll be right. Should be a pretty short day."

"I'm leaving in 15 minutes. I'll drive you." Charlie strapped his holster to his waist.

Bella sighed deeply as she placed her bowl in the sink. "I can take care of myself."

Charlie angrily shrugged on his coat. "You're not going to argue with me on this. I'm taking you to school, whether you like it or not. I'm not going to let you fall asleep behind the wheel and hurt yourself."

Not having the energy to argue Bella simply put on her jacket and through her backpack over her shoulder.

There was only silence during the ride to school between Bella and Charlie. As they pulled up to the school Bella began to jump out of the car.

"Hey, do you need me to pick you up after school?" Charlie asked tilting his head to be able to see Bella through the door.

Bella shrugged, "No. I'll just catch a ride with any of my friends."

"Alright, remember I won't be home until late tonight. I have the late shift." Charlie smiled apologetically.

Bella nodded her head and smiled sympathetically, "Okay, just be safe."

"Always am." With that Charlie raised the window on the passenger side. He drove away off towards his job.

Bella's day was slow. Luckily, she had only been told by two teachers to pick her head up off the desk. She was still exhausted but managed to stay awake during most of the classes. However if you asked her what each class was about she would most likely give you a jumbled response that didn't make much sense.

As the bell rang she made her way to her philosophy class. She wasn't excited but she wasn't exactly disappointed that this class was next.

Walking in her face was both pale and sleepy. The expression on her face was one of numbness. Upon seeing her Tanya began to become worried.

She didn't know what had changed in Bella's demeanor over one day. As the class meand she handed out a pop quiz that she had planned for a week before.

Stopping at Bella's desk she noted that the girl didn't lift her head to take the paper from her. In the middle of the quiz Tanya lifted her head to see how Bella was doing to only find her sleeping.

Tanya was told between waking up to take notes on the lesson was for letting her sleep so that she may rest. She didn't know what it was about Bella but something inside of her always want to take care of her.

It was the constant two sides of being a professional teacher and having her mate as her student. Tanya didn't know if Bella realized it yet, she knew the feelings that she was having.

She knew the girl was attracted to her but she didn't know how she felt as a human on this matter.

Soon enough the bell rang for the end of class and the beginning of lunch. Bella's head had sprang up from her desk and startled her out of her peaceful sleep. She didn't know how long she had been asleep, she didn't even realize that her quiz was no longer on her table.

Noticing that the class is already half empty Bella grabbed her backpack off the floor and threw it over her shoulder. She slowly approached Tanya's desk.

I'm so sorry that I fell asleep on you. I really didn't mean to, I just had a rough night.

"For a moment there I thought I was boring you."Tanya looked over the Bella's face and noted the pain there. "Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Bella said as she shook her head trying to convince herself that she was actually fine. She adjusted her shirt as she slowly walked towards the door. Turning around to look at Tanya she spoke gently, "I guess I'll see you after school then."

With that Bella left the room. She didn't even wait for response from her teacher. Bella got through lunch in a haze. She didn't talk to anyone and she pretended to be listening to her friends.

Halfway through lunch Bella had realized she left her jacket on the back of her chair in her philosophy class. She stood up and excused herself placing her tray at the end of the line.

As Bella walked back to the classroom she thought about what she was going to do after school. Seeing as how it was Charlie's late day she didn't have to cook anything for dinner.

As Bella turns to enter the classroom she stopped short of the doorway. Looking into the room she found Tanya sitting at her desk, she also saw another woman who was sitting on top of her teacher's desk.

They seemed to have smiles on their faces as the stranger moves a strand of hair behind Tanya's ear. Though the moment would be seen as quite simple for anyone else, Bella seemed to think it was the most intimate moment between two people.

Looking at the woman she didn't recognize Bella realized just how beautiful she was. Too beautiful to be considered human. Looking between the two the intensity seems to grow, their eyes lock together creating an ease in the room.

Bella heart sunk into her stomach as she saw this woman playing with Tanya's hair. Bella couldn't seem to move from the place she was standing as she listen to their conversation.

"I really missed you Tanya. It's been too long since the last time we spent time together." She said in a low seductive tone.

Tanya calmly spoke, "Well it certainly has been a long time. And many things have changed I hear."

"Tanya, Tanya, Tanya... You know that would never stop me from trying. Honestly, I thought you knew me better than that." She continued to play with Tanya's hair. A smirk slowly graced her lips.

This woman who seems to know Tanya so well dragged her finger across her jaw. Tilting Tanya's head so that she could lean in for a kiss. Suddenly Bella's gasp made Tanya lift her head away from the woman sitting on her desk.

"Bella..." She whispered. Suddenly Tanya was worried as she saw Bella quickly run off away from that room.

At a human pace Tanya raised out of her chair and raced to chase after Bella.

"Bella, could you wait please?" Tanya pleaded as she caught up to Bella.

Suddenly something inside of Bella snapped, "Why? So I can see you flirt with some other woman. You know I must of been a fool for actually thinking that you liked me."

Tanya sighed and tried to touch Bella's arm but was only pushed away, "I do like you, I like you a lot. You don't understand. I even more than like you there's something about you Bella. Did Rosalie ever explain to you how a mated pair works? Really works?"

"That's bullshit! If we were truly a mated pair you wouldn't have let that woman touch you! And you were just sitting there, you let her touch you like that! She was clearly flirting with you, you can't tell me you didn't see that! Or who knows, maybe you were just enjoying yourself with her!" Bella's heart was racing. She couldn't believe what was happening. How could Tanya do this to her and think she is so stupid to believe this?

"Bella that's ridiculous. I wasn't enjoying myself. She's just a woman I know from a very long time ago. She means nothing to us now!" Tanya yelled. She took a deep breath and attempted to calm herself down. "Bella, I know what you think you saw but, you are my mate. I know that it's different for you, trust me I know. You're not going to feel as strongly for me as I feel for you in this moment. But when you're a vampire everything is different, everything is amplified. You mean more to me than anything or anyone in this world. And I know we haven't known each other very long but I need you to trust me."

Bella calmed down as she saw the sincerity in Tanya's eyes. Something inside of her suddenly just needed to be held. She launched herself into Tanya's arms and wrapped her arms around her neck. "I know that you care about me. But people have to know that it's not okay for them to touch you like that. So until you tell her that, I'm not gonna be okay with this. If you really are my mate. And if everything I know about mates is true. Then you have a responsibility to me to let her know that you're not interested."

Bella let go of Tanya's neck and straightened herself out. She wiped her eyes of the tears that she knew were forming. As soon as she had gotten herself into a presentable state the bell had begun to run. "I have to go to class. But I'll see you after school for my detention."

Bella walked calmly to her next class. I she sat down the level of exhaustion only increase.

Tanya walked back into her classroom she ran her fingers through her hair and shut the door quietly. I she turned to her old friends she looked her in the eyes, "you need to leave."

"What? You can't be serious? You're telling me that I have to leave just because some petty human doesn't like me?" Barbara laughed as if it was a joke.

"Dammit, Barbara! She is not just some human! She is my mate and I will do as she wishes! And no one not even you is going to interfere in my relationship! What we had was fun but we cannot do this anymore!" Tanya yelled in frustration.

Taking a calming breath Tanya went to her desk and laid her head down on it. She felt Barbara come up behind her and rest her hands on her back. "You know you only had to ask once, right? I understand you have a mate now and honestly I don't know if she's worthy of you yet but if she can fluster you this much Tanya then I'm more than happy for you. Don't let little old jealous me get in the way of your happiness. I'm just being a bitch because I haven't found my mate yet."

Tanya took in a sigh of relief. Soon enough students began filing into her classroom. Barbara left swiftly with promises to leave her and the human alone until they solved their problems.

The rest of Tanya's day passed slowly. During outclasses she found herself getting irritated rather quickly. The disrespect and struggles of the children were only making her day harder. The patient seem to be wearing thin and she didn't know if she was going to make it through the day.

As the bell for the end of school rang Tanya sighed in relief. She had to handout to detentions and one principle's slip in the last two hours of her day. She took in a breath as she realized that she would now get to spend the last hour of her day with her favorite student.

Though being around Bella caused Tanya some stress, she couldn't wait to be near her. Tanya seem to instantly calm as Bella entered the room.

Bella took a seat by Tanya's desk. "So what exactly are we doing today?"

"Well, I thought we could go over some homework assignments. And talk about your interaction class." Tanya stated briefly.

"Shame, I thought would at least discuss the fact that another vampire was practically sitting in your lap earlier." Anger laced Bella's voice as she spoke to Tanya. She didn't know whether she was more angry or more hurt over the situation.

"Bella I promise you I didn't know she was coming. Besides she won't be bothering us. " Tanya pleaded trying desperately to avoid this topic. She knew it would only hurt Bella in the end, and that was the last thing she wanted.

"Just because you did not know she was coming doesn't mean that you're off the hook. I mean really what am I supposed to think when I walked into a room and another woman, a vampire woman, sitting on your lap practically!" Bella was losing her patience and the more she thought about this the more she grew angry.

Bella knew she wasn't being fair to Tanya. We was throwing all her doubts on to her but she couldn't help but feel insufficient. How could she ever compare to that woman? Someone who so obviously knew Tanya so intimately.

"Bella, I swear to you I didn't know she was coming. If I did I would have told her to stay away because I know how sensitive our relationship is right now. I know you don't really know me. I know you don't trust me yet. I am going to do everything in my power to make you see how much I care for you." Tanya sighed reaching for Bella's hand.

Bella stood from her chair and quickly moved away from Tanya. She took a deep breath and tried to form her thoughts into words. She didn't know how to make Tanya understand that she didn't feel good enough or beautiful enough for her. She was what all the world qualified as a freak. And she didn't want to burden Tanya with that kind of relationship but at the same moment she couldn't live without her.

"I don't know. I just need some time to think about all this. Coming home I ever going to know that I'm enough for you after seeing that. I mean if that's what you're used to it I can't give you. I'm different from anyone else, human or vampire." Bella grabbed her bag up quickly from the floor and threw it over her shoulder. "I need some space. I just need to clear my head for a few days. Please don't follow me or try to find me I really just need to be alone."

As Bella walked out of the classroom quickly Tanya stood there not knowing what to do. She felt as though she had failed her mate and couldn't even find the words to apologize.

Part of her was furious with Barbara for showing up at that moment but she mostly hated herself for not turning down the advances when she saw Barbara move so close. Tanya knew that she was stunned to even see Barbara, but for Bella to walk into the room the moment Barbara moved so close to her nearly killed her. Even though Tanya's heart no longer beat she felt as though it was breaking.
