Thank you to all of those who reviewed. I will continue anyway since I have 21 reviews in all. I am finally better! I have been going to school, and I had sooo much make-up work to do! But now I have more time, so I decided to write another chapter. I am so sorry it took so long! I am the worst at managing my time.

I will dedicate this chapter to: DazzliousXOX

She is the only one who noticed the spin on the car scene! She rocks! I was hurt by that. It was so last minute I thought either a lot would hate it or a lot would love it.

I'm droning, read on.

BPOV:

I made my way to my first class, Mike appearing and chattering my ear away. I didn't listen. I was too busy thinking about what had happened. I knew I hadn't imagined what Edward had done. He was so fast! I couldn't believe it when he'd caught me. I now knew he was hiding something, but I didn't for the life of me know what it was. It scared me that he had gotten so angry looking. It reminded me of Charlie when he was rearing up for a "good beating."

The classed in this school were boring. I had already taken most of them in my old school, as I had basically devoted myself to school. I was both excited for and nervous about lunch. Would Alice still want me to sit with them? I didn't know, and after the parking lot incident I was scared to go near Edward. My final decision was to go in, and if Alice still wanted me to sit there, I would. I mentally prepared myself all morning long, and when the last bell before lunch finally rang, I got up and walked resolutely to the lunch room.

As I got into line I looked over at the Cullen's table. All of them were there but Edward and Alice. My heart sank. I knew that I wouldn't be able to go over there without Alice. My self esteem, and my fears, wouldn't let me do that. Just as I went through the line, with lemonade bottle in hand, Alice popped up in front of me. I was starting to realize that that was one of the only way she would appeared. She couldn't just walk up like other people. I stopped and waited for her to speak.

"Hi, Bella! I am so sorry about Edward this morning! He was walking over to you and after he caught you he overreacted to the tension. I hope you'll forgive us?" She had an amazing pout, and it made you practically need to give in.

"I-it's okay, Alice, I am fine. I am definitely not mad at you." I comforted her. She led me over to the table and started to introduce them to me.

"This is my family, Rosalie and Emmett, Jasper, and Edward." Edward had appeared while I had been talking to Alice. I had a gnawing feeling that they had been together before they entered the cafeteria. Edward was giving me a searching look, and I blushed and looked at the table. It made me uncomfortable when boys stared at me, especially calculatingly, like he was. It reminded me of Charlie when he was calm. Emmett and Jasper said hi, and Edward nodded at me. He was looking on edge, like he was ready to rush away. Rosalie just ignored the fact that Alice and I had approached, and Alice was glaring at her as we sat down. It was awkward, and I had no idea if I should say anything. Luckily, I did not have to speak, as some else decided to start. (AN: Was going to stop here, haha.)

"So, are you okay? It seemed to hurt when I caught you this morning." Edward. Of course. Why did he have to be so dang observant. I realized my hands circled around me protectively. I vaguely wondered when I started doing that, and then started to panic. How should I answer? I had no idea what to say.

"Um, w-well, I guess the force of the fall just p-put pressure on my stomach. I hoped they didn't see through my horrible lying. I looked down at my food and blushed. Edward didn't look like he believed me, but Alice silenced whatever he was going to say with a look.

"That's good. I didn't want you to be hurt." Alice said. I was grateful when she changed the subject to a shopping trip she wanted to go on this weekend. The boys groaned, and I knew they did this regularly. I unscrewed the lid on my bottle and took a sip. My movements were still slow and painful. I was worried about him giving me another beating tonight. I didn't know if I could take it. I was already bruised again, and if he did much worse he might break something. If only going to the hospital would help. All of the doctors answered to Charlie. I would get a cast, and they would ignore the bruises on the rest of my body. My turtle neck was choking me, and I pulled it out long enough for the pain to relieve a bit.

"Oh, Bella. I meant to ask you this morning. Why is your voice so scratchy today?" Edward decided to spring another question on me. I sighed and felt the blood rush out of my face

"Oh, I am losing my voice. I was a bit over zealous on singing along with the radio last night." I forced out a chuckle, even though it sent searing pain through my throat that was ten times worse than talking, which I could just ignore. The pain must have crossed over my face, as Edward was suddenly in the seat next to me, a worried look on is face.

"Are you okay? I am sorry I made you talk so much, it must be hell." He smiled tentatively at me as he attempted to comfort me. I almost laughed, before remembering what we were talking about.

"It is okay. It doesn't hurt much to just talk." I was comforting him now. He still looked worried, but dropped the subject, not even trying to hide his penetrating stare anymore. I flinched and he looked at Alice, like she had spoken. Suddenly I was being pulled up.

"Well, I guess I should walk you to your next class, Bella. Don't worry, you will see Edward there." Alice was pulling me, well dragging me, away and out of the lunchroom. I realized she either knew something, or had really good timing. I was afraid it was the first one. She continued once we were outside the Biology room. "I am sorry about Edward. He is a very…strange person. I just know you two can be really good friends though, so keep at it." She winked and left me standing there. I walked in and waited for what I knew was coming.

The questions.


Ok, no Edward, but the next chapter is completely him. I think it will be good to see two parts in only one perspective. *grins mischievously* I am so sorry, again, that I did not post this sooner! Please review, don't care about flames, I will post when I have five reviews. That is to motivate myself into actually writing, not to punish you.
