Author's Note: I'm sure this chapter has its fair amount of grammar mistakes but I'm short on time. I have lots and lots of work and very little time at the moment. Well, basically this chapter describes I personal experience of mine, hope you enjoy it.

The pitter patter of our feet stepping on the wet concrete lulled me as we made our way through the alley. There was a line beginning to form as we reached the door. Dora was sitting at the front table with her Mickey Mouse ears on her head and her combat boots sticking out from under the table.

"Hello Bella. I heard about your apartment, I'm so sorry. How 'bout no cover tonight," she said as she stamped the word Slayer on my hand. I smiled.

"Thanks, Dora."

"Hey, what about us," said Gregory.

"Fat chance. Five bucks, please," Dora tapped her foot impatiently as Gregory pulled out a crumbled five dollar bill from his pocket. Anabel winked at Dora and we were headed towards the stage a few seconds later. Anabel and Gregory always stood against wall and pretended to be too cool to jump and sweat with the rest of us.

On the other hand, I loved the sway of bodies becoming one big wave as the music progressed. I headed towards the middle of the crowd before the band begun to play. The only thing that sucked about being surronded by a huge group of screaming people was the stench. Yes, it was natural to sweat but it seemed like not everyone had grasped the idea of showers and deodorant.

We Are 138 began to sound through the speakers and it was obvious this was a Misfits cover band. The crowd became more and more aggressive as the song progressed, and I was forced to move a bit to the side. I couldn't see Anabel and Gregory from where I stood and that bothered me.

Before I could continue my train of thought, I noticed a boy with shaggy brown hair standing against the wall. His back was to me and he was peering towards the front of the crowd. He was wearing a black jacket and dark denim. Something drove me towards him. As I slowly crept towards him, he tensed. His head moving to the side as if to get a sideways glance.

My heart skip a couple a beats when I realized it was Edward. I took another step towards him when a tall, skinny boy bumped into me slamming me to the ground. The boy leaned in withoout a word to pick me up, and by the time I was back on my feet Edward was gone. I started to panic.

This had happened twice before. Claustrophobia was not a huge problem for me, but there were times when I panicked, like right now. It became harder and harder to breath and I tried with great difficulty to make my way out of the narrow and long stage area towards the front door.

I began to clutch my chest. The panic wasn't letting me think clearly. I pushed through people and a few times I was pushed back. Half way there, I leaned against the wall trying to compose myself, I felt like I was floating. I fainted, I thought. How embarrassing, but then the cool air hit my face and I breathed in greedily. After a few seconds, I opened my eyes to find Edward in front of me. His face was set in an angry scold.

"Bella," he hissed. Why was he so angry?

I still hadn't gained my composure but I reached for his face and tried to kiss him. I could blame it on the lack of oxygen killing some of my brain cells if he complained. Before I could even touch his face, he pushed me back gently.

"I'm just here to warn you," he said as he kicked a small peeble away with his foot.

"Oh," was all I could say.

"Gregory is a vampire and he's working with Heidi. I'm not sure what they're planning but I'll figure it out." He was not meeting my gaze.

"So, your not here for me?"

"Well Bella, I'm here to help you stay alive since your not very good at keeping yourself safe." I clenched my fist. He knew the meaning of my question and was doing a good job of avoiding it.

"What took you so long to find me or did you know all along where I was?"

"How was I suppose to know where you went, you left without a word."

"So I didn't say good bye in person, but I thought the letter would explain that…"

"What letter?" He stepped closer to me.

"I mailed you a letter before I left. It basically explained why I had to leave." I was standing against the wall as he stepped closer. He put his hands on my shouders and it took a fair amount of restraint not to reach up and kiss him.

"Bella, I---…," the door creaked open before he could finish and I prayed it wasn't Heidi.
