Bella's POV

I ran from the window as fast as I could. But it wasn't fast enough. A pair of cold, hard arms found me first. "Bella, listen," Edward tried to soothe me.

"How could you? I thought you loved me? Was everything you promised me a lie," I questioned

"How could you ever doubt that I don't love you? Of course I do," He spun me around and gazed into my tear-filled eyes. "Bella, I don't love Tanya the way I love you. I love her like a sister."

"Let go of me," I muttered. He dropped his hands from my shoulders. I walked out into the rain and towards my red Chevrolet.

"Bella, wait!" a pixie called.

"Alice, I am in no frame of mind to talk to any vampires at the moment. So please leave me alone," she looked hurt. "Just for now. I promise I'll call you in the morning." I opened the truck door and hopped in. I sped down the three mile drive at the fastest speed my truck could handle.

I checked all my mirrors. When I was sure I wasn't being watched I turned off the engine and sobs started wracking my entire body.

I can't compare to a perfect immortal. What's the point? I thought sadly. I continued crying for what seems like hours until all my tears had dried up. I got up and checked the time on the dashboard. 11:34 pm. Charlie's probably worried sick. I drove the rest of the way home to find Charlie's police cruiser gone.

That's weird. I thought pulling my truck to a stop. I opened my door and I thought I seen something in the corner of my eye. "Edward, don't even think of coming in my window tonight!!" I screamed. He would hear it. I walked inside and found a note on the counter.

Hey dad, I'm at the Cullen's. I'll be home late so, don't wait up.

Bella

The writing was eerily familiar to my own, but I didn't remember writing it. I walked up the stairs lethargically and stumbled into my room. I found a note on my bed;

Bella

It's Alice. You're lucky I covered for you. Charlie will be home any second. Edward is really sorry. Please forgive him. It was all Tanya. Don't forget to call

Alice

I sighed and got dressed for bed. When I was about to turn off the light I noticed my window open, just a crack. I went downstairs and got a little bit of garlic, just to make my message clear. I ran back up the stairs and I quickly got a piece of paper and wrote NO CHEATERS ALOUD on it. I attached a piece of tape and stuck it to the window, along with the garlic, attached by string.

As I faded out of consciousness, I swear I saw a look of hurt outside my window

"-the weather today being a warm 61 degrees with overcast skies. The rain will hold off until around 5 when you can expect light drizzle- ," I shut off my alarm.Why did I even have it on the weather channel anyway. The weather is the same always.

I got out of bed and slipped on something. I groaned and looked to what had caused the slip. The note! I have to call Alice. I ran down the stairs and into the kitchen. I grabbed the phone off the hook and dialed Alice's cell number.

A beautiful velvet voice answered on the 1st ring, "Please Bella, love, listen to what I have to say." I hung up the phone. He won't ever leave me alone.

I quickly went upstairs and had a shower. After my shower I pulled out the first things that were in my drawer. A pair of jeans and a t-shirt. As I was pulling my top on I noticed what it was. It was a blue blouse that reminded me of Edward. I quickly tossed it into the hamper and pulled on a black Misfits shirt instead.

I looked at the clock. I was running late. I ran down the stairs and grabbed a pop-tart and my keys. I locked the door quickly and ran to my truck. I made it to school with seconds to spare. I searched the lot and found the silver Volvo. I sighed. This is going to be a long day.

I made it to first period English. And sat down, not at my regular seat with Edward, but at an available one by Angela. "Do you mind if I sit here today?" I asked, not wanting to be rude.

"Not at all," she glanced at Edward, "did you two have a fight?" the look in my eyes confirmed it.

As the bell rang the door opened with a breeze. "Class we have a new student. Her name is Tanya , she came down here from Alaska." The vampire tried to look embarrassed. "Miss Mason, you may have a seat next to Edward." She sat down and took out a coil notebook and a pen. "Now class have you all done the reading last night for homework?" The teacher asked. We were doing Wuthering Heights. I had the entire book memorized. I mostly zoned out the entire hour.

As the bell rang, I gathered my belongings. Tanya walked by me and winked at me. She was really getting on my nerves. The rest of my classes went by in a blur. She was also in my trig class. I walked into the cafeteria with only a coke bottle in my hand. I walked down to our regular table and heard a conversation going.

"Damn all the Alaskan kids are hot," Mike stated.

"Have you noticed she looks a lot the Cullen's?" Jessica asked Lauren.

"Do you think I'm blind?" Lauren said.

"So are you and Edward over?" Eric asked, his voice cracking.

Edward turned his head slightly in my direction. "It seems like that, yeah…" I trailed off.

"So, want to go to the movies Saturday with a bunch of us?" Mike asked.

"Sure," I answered. How does Edward like that? I turned my head in his family's direction to regret that instantaneously. I could see clearly Alice with a horrified look in her eyes and Tanya and Edward's lips locked together.

"Look at that…." Jessica trailed off, obviously at the Cullen's. Before I knew what was happening, I was running out of the cafeteria, and out into the September air. I ran to my truck and turned the ignition.

Nothing happened. Any day other than today… I tried again. Why is this happening today... I heard a knock on my window.

"Bella, are you alright," Alice called from outside.

"No, leave me alone," I muttered from the truck cab. I glared at her through the window.

"I finally believe all the legends and myths surrounding vampires… they are sadistic creatures that want to hurt you," I said to her coldly.

She sighed. "At least let me fix your truck. Your oil is leaking…" She reached into the front of the truck and did something… "And you can thank me for fixing the loudness of it too…" she trailed off as she walked back to the cafeteria.

I tried it again, it turned on as usual, but was about 4 notches quieter. "Thanks Alice, I yelled."

I pulled out of the parking lot and just drove. I didn't know where I was going. I was driving just to get away. I pulled onto the highway and out of my rear-view mirror, I could have sworn I saw a silver Volvo. I growled.

I needed to go somewhere, anywhere… I realized that I was gripping the steering wheel. I loosened my grip. Come on Bella, snap out of it. I thought. I breathed a deep breath and let it out.

Snapping me out of my sadness was the horn of a transport truck coming closer and closer by the second. Before everything went black, I felt a pair of cold hard arms on my sides, pulling me away…
