Note: OK, I was a little bit self-conscious about writing that little comic relief part at the end of the last chapter, but you guys seemed to like it! By the way, PLEASE tell people about my stories! I really don't have many reviews, and it means the world to me when you give me encouragement or even constructive criticism! Also, that was about the last funny part you're going to see for a while! Sorry, but this story is dramatic, not humorous! Don't forget to look at the genres for my FanFics - they usually indicate a few things that will happen in the story…hint, hint!

P.S. I made Alice have occasional visions because, if you remember, the books say that she was psychic as a human, too! Edward thinks he only has a crush on Bella, but let me tell you - it runs a lot deeper than that! And so do Bella's feelings. She just doesn't know it…yet. WARNING: THIS IS A VERY SAD CHAPTER! I'M SORRY, BUT IT HAS TO BE THIS WAY IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE A GOOD STORY! Please tell me if I suck at writing sad scenes, because my other FanFic is going to have a LOT!! It's hard to put tragedy into words, you know?

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET RID OF THE UNDERLINE? SOMETIMES IT'S THERE, SOMETIMES IT'S NOT - THAT IS SO ANNOYING!!

Things have improved…a little bit. Edward is no longer avoiding me, although he hasn't been overly talkative - but I can live with that, I guess. Lauren Mallory, the girl that was making out with Jacob, has a severe case of poison ivy and she keeps sending Alice and Edward death glares every chance she gets. I'm not even sure that I want to know what they did to her.

It was freezing cold that morning - the road was covered in a thin sheet of deadly ice and snow was swiftly swirling to the ground. I groaned - I really was not a fan of snowy weather.

I always rode to school with the Cullens since I wasn't old enough to drive myself to school. Alice relayed to me what she and Edward had done to Jake and Lauren, and I couldn't help but laugh. I mean, they did deserve it!

Much too soon, the bell rang, and it was time for class to start. We headed towards the building when I realized that I'd left my iPod in Emmett's Jeep.

"If I'm late to lit again, Mr. Honea will kill me," Emmett said. He tossed Edward the keys. "You can go back with Bella," he told him.

I blushed. This was going to be anything but pleasant. Our friendship was still…rocky, to say the least at the moment. Couldn't Emmett have given Alice the keys and spared me a little bit of embarrassment?

"OK," Edward sighed. The two of trudged back to the Jeep. I would've apologized, but I was too much of a coward, afraid that I'd make it worse. He unlocked the door and I poked my head in, using my hands to grope around on the floor, trying to locate the stupid iPod.

I felt bad for making Bella feel so uncomfortable, but I just couldn't bring myself to say anything. I waited as patiently as possible while she searched for the cursed iPod when I first heard it - the sound of tires skidding across a slippery surface. I looked up to see a van careening out of control, heading straight for…Bella, who was standing there in oblivion to the oncoming danger.

I had just one thought racing through my mind: not her. Not my best friend - the girl who, I confess, I'm in love with. I pushed her to the ground, out of harm's way, with no time to run for cover. I braced myself for the impact. I closed my eyes right at the moment that my vision began to fade and the world went dark as the pain overtook me.

My head cracked against the hard, unforgiving ground. I tried to sit up, ignoring the shooting pain that hit my brain as I did so, but to no avail. I stayed down, hearing the shout of panicked voices and the wail of sirens.

All I knew that Edward had pushed me out of the way - I didn't know if he was hurt or…I couldn't even think it.

"Oh my god!" I heard a girl scream. "Edward!" I recognized the voice - it was Alice. Salt water tears filled my eyes as I was left to imagine what had happened to him.

Moments later, the EMTs arrived on the scene. They lifted me onto a stretcher and, even from there, I could not catch a glimpse of him. Truthfully, I was afraid of what I'd see - the cries coming from all sides didn't sound good. If Edward really does…die, it will be totally and completely my fault. Closing my eyes, I soon drifted into a dreamless state of unconsciousness - one that I wished I would never wake up from.

APOV

Why? Why Edward? I couldn't stop myself from sobbing, even though Jasper was holding me, trying to console me. What if he dies? He's only fifteen for crying out loud, not to mention my twin brother at that! Who knew that Edward's sacrifice could be his last?

BPOV

I had woken up only a few minutes ago to learn that Edward Cullen, my best friend, was fighting for his life at that very moment. I sat in a chair in the waiting room, dreading what could possibly be the worst news of my life. Was he going to be OK?

I heard a pair of footsteps enter the room and I looked up to see Alice standing in front of me, her eyes red and tears running door her cheeks.

"He's…gone." Without looking at me, she collapsed into my arms, sobbing. My heart was breaking as I cried with her. It was all because of me that my friends and almost-family were in so much pain. I was to blame. And the worst part? I never even got to say goodbye.

Note: OK, guys. Sad, tragic - I know! It was hard for me to write because I was afraid that I would mess up such a heart wrenching scene. I hope it was alright. Hang in with me there - we all know Edward is not dead because we wouldn't have a story without him. He's also not been turned into a vampire because they don't exist in this FanFic. PLEASE keep reading. I make cliff-hangers so you guys will review! No reviews - no chapters! Yes, I can be evil - I admit it! Sorry that the chapter was extra short, but I had to cut it off there. I have a five-day fall break starting today and goes all the way through Tuesday, so I will probably update this and Nothing to Lose, So Much to Gain often! What do you guys think of my Play List choices for both stories? Let me know!
