Wow! More people than I expected set this as a favorite story!!! THANK YOU!!

Sorry I havn't updated in a while.. school was getting in the way!!

Here it is… CHAPTER FOUR

I awoke to a light tap on my door.

"Bella, are you awake sweetie?" Esme said softly through the door. Well, I thought, I am now.

"Yea, I'm awake Esme. You can come in."

She opened the door and peeked in. Then the door flew open to reveal Alice holding a tray of food. Breakfast in bed , I thought, well there's a first.

"Good morning Bella. How are you feeling today?" She looked worried, probably because of how I looked. I didn't need a mirror to tell me my eyes were red and puffy.

"I'm fine." I tried to convince her, but she didn't by it. I couldn't lie for crap, so why did I even try?

Alice set the food in front of me, smiled and said, " I hope you like scrambled eggs because it's the only kind I know how to make." We all laughed, though mine was shaky and not right. I hoped they didn't notice. "By the way, seeing as how you'll be staying here in Forks for a while, Carlisle enrolled you into the high school. Your in the same grade as Edward and I, so one of us should be in at least one of your classes." I smiled. Someone other than my parents cared about me. I'd never really had any friends so this was new to me.

"I'll have to thank him when I see him. Thanks Alice. It's nice to know that I'll know someone there." I was so relived Alice would be there considering I hadn't even met this Edward yet, "By the way, these eggs are amazing!" She beamed at me like I had just given her a million dollars.

"Well Bella," Esme began," since you don't seem to have very many things, how would you like to come shopping with Alice and i?" I was not one who shopped, but Alice looked like she'd cry if I said no so instead I said," Yea! Sounds like fun!"

"Yay! Bella don't worry about paying for anything. And I mean anything! I have it covered." Alice was so excited, she grabbed the tray in front of me and ran out of the room before I could protest about her paying for everything.

I opened my mouth to call her back, but Esme cut me off, "Don't worry about the money, Bella. I won't let Alice spend to much. Carlisle would kill her if she spent to much." Well, I'll let you get ready. We'll leave when your ready." And with that, she left.

I pushed the blankets away and went to my bag. I grabbed a white shirt and a pair of jeans. Nothing special considering I wasn't. I went to the bathroom to get dressed and try to look presentable. When I looked in the mirror I found out that wasn't going to happen. My mahogany hair was going in every direction possible, there were dark circles under my brown eyes, and my cheeks were red. No wonder Esme looked worried when she first saw me, I thought, I'm a mess! I quick threw my hair up in a high pony tail, and with a sigh, I went downstairs.

I had a feeling I would be a dress up dummy today. I barley knew Alice and yet I knew that she was going to be difficult. When I go to the bottom of the stairs, Alice frowned and shook her head.

"No way will I be seen in public with you, Bella, looking like that!" I groaned. So, being Barbie was starting earlier than I expected.

"Alice, sweetie, she looks fine." Esme said. "She is not going to a fashion show. She doesn't have to look perfect. I am sorry, Bella," she said to me, "Alice get's this way a lot. Alice why don't you get the car while I tell Bella about the Shopping Rules?" She chuckled.

"Yes that's probably a good idea." Alice said as she was leaving the room.

"Bella, I should warn you not to reject anything Alice picks out for you. Try on everything she tells you to. We will probably be out for a couple of hours, so warn us if you get hungry. Alice won't pay attention to price, so I will be in charge of that. Last time she maxed out Carlisle's credit card she almost lost her life. Anyway, while in the car do not play with the radio or complain about Alice's music, because it's the last thing you will probably ever say. But back to shopping. Alice goes for looks rather than comfort. So speak up if you uncomfortable. I will save you from her anger. Any questions?"

I stared at her, realizing I probably looked like an idiot. How could there be so man y rules for shopping? When did it even get rules anyway?

"Well," I said, "let's get this over with then." Esme laughed and led me to the car. It was a nice car. A Mercedes, I thought, though I wouldn't know because a car was a car to me.

I climbed in the back seat and listened to the music, not knowing the song but still listening to the music.

Everyday I sit here waiting
Everyday just seems so long
And now I've had enough of all the hating
Do we even care, it's so unfair
Any day it'll all be over
Everyday there's nothing new
And now I just try to find some hope
To try and hold onto
But it starts again
It'll never end

I'm heavily broken
And I don't know what to do
Can't you see that I'm choking
And I can't even move
When there's nothing left to say
What can you do
I'm heavily broken
And there's nothing I can do

Almost giving up on trying
Almost heading for a fall
And now my mind is screaming out
I've gotta keep on fighting
But then again
It doesn't end

I'm heavily broken
And I don't know what to do
Can't you see that I'm choking
And I can't even move
When there's nothing left to say
What can you do?
I'm heavily broken
And there's nothing I can do
And there's nothing I can do

Feels like I'm drowning
I'm screaming for air
Screaming for air
Louder I'm crying
And you don't even care

I'm heavily broken
And I don't know what to do
Can't you see that I'm choking
And I can't even move
What can I do
When there's nothing left to say
What can you do
I'm heavily broken

I'm heavily broken
And I don't know what to do
Can't you see that I'm choking
And I can't even move
When there's nothing left to say
What can you do
I'm heavily broken

I'm heavily broken

I'm heavily broken

"Bella, honey, are you okay?" Esme sounded worried and had a concerned look on her face. At that moment I realized I was crying. That song, though it most likely had a different meaning, now reflected my life. I was heavily broken and I just needed to be alone. Away from anyone one who would remind me about what happened to my parents.

"I-I'm s-s-sorry, b-but…" I lost all control of my voice and I needed to be alone. Now. I opened the car door and ran as far and as long as I possibly could into, then I fell to the ground sobbing.

I didn't know where I was, who I was staying with, or what was going to happen when I was adopted, and by who. Nothing was right. This kind of thing only happened to people in books and movies, not real life. I could not handle this. It was too much to soon.

I didn't know how long I was alone but I knew I wasn't anymore. I heard a twig snap and whirled around, then stiffened when I saw a man standing there.

"Who are you?" I asked when I found my voice, then he took a step toward me.

"At this moment, probably you worst enemy."

OH NO CLIFFY!!! And a BIG one at that!!!!! Please review people!!! I don't know when the next chapter will be posted. Finals are coming and I need to cram!!! Until then people!!!
