Uber sorry for the wait you guys! I've got more OCs coming in this chapter, and you get to see Anthony in his own environment. I'd like to point out that the name Emma came from er...i think the first part of her e-mail address was cinbob or something (but I'm sure she's not as gossipy as this Emma is). Also, I just got finished with one of the plays I'm in, I have another one on Friday, and I have practice tomorrow and volleyball practice tomorrow. I'll probably start writing again at least after school on Thursday, so depending on if you want the chapter to be there and short or long, then you'll have to wait. I want 12 reviews and 2 more poll votes before I update again. Seriously, it;s not that hard to just go to my profile and guess. It'll take like 5 seconds. Unless you have a really slow computer in which case: sucks for you!! LMAO I love you guys!

Edward's POV

"Look, Edward, we both know that she doesn't have that ridiculous ability," she said hesitantly and slowly. "And we both know that you screwed up. I've dealt with you leaving me dead, with your protective and possessive nature, with your jealousy. I find it off that after you take everything I can possibly give you, you just…You were with her, Edward. Neither Anthony nor I want you here now leave!"

"Bella, I'm not lying! Please, please, please! I will never do that again! Please! Give me one more chance. I know you deserve more than me but I want you so much it hurts. I would die for you Bella. It feels like you're ripping out my heart, I love you more than...whatever this life is called, Bella."

"Edward…I can't just forgive you. I…I realize that she has more than me in the way of physical appearances. And maybe you just wanted more than what I had. But…but you didn't even tell me to leave. And we have a son! A real, living breathing human that we have produced together! You should've said something before we…well you should have said something."

"Bella, you are everything to me. I don't want Tanya! She has a power we were unaware of; Carlisle is trying to figure out how it works so he can stop it because it's to powerful. I'm sorry. I don't know what else I can say." I hung my head; she wasn't going to believe me.

I feel like the boy who cried wolf. I feel like a scumbag.

Anthony's POV (And time skip to next morning)

Yesterday my mother and I were at the store after school when he came. He thought he was going to win Mom's heart back. But she pushed him away. Although it burns my soul every time I see her as sad as this, I know it would be worse with the man that is causing her to be like this.

Today is Friday and I had called Ted last night to tell him what happened. He remembered me telling him about Tanya. I told him about all of the newly changed vampires that had entered our coven recently, Hillary, Lane, Nicole, Esther, Addy, and Emma. So yes, he knows about our family's secret.

Today I have to go to school again. School, where everyone already thinks I'm a freak and I have to pretend like my dad didn't just totally screw up a total of – hmm…Alice, Mom, Me, Rosalie, and probably the rest of the Cullen family – about eight people's lives in less than one week.

Fan-freaking-tastic.

"Hey Casper," Ted called out. He had given me that name once we became friends. My pale skin, bronze hair, and green eyes (or at least we think) are all the noticeable traits from my father.

"Hey Ted, did you finish our English assignment?" I hadn't, I had obviously been a bit…busy.

"Yeah, but it wasn't very hard. You could probably finish it in about 3 minutes."

"Okay, thanks."

"No prob. Listen," his voice lowered until he was whispering. " I think maybe you should go and live with someone else for a while. Maybe I could come with you, but I really think Bel- your mom," he corrected himself, "needs to be alone to think things through. Do you know anywhere where you could go for a while?"

I hadn't really thought of it that way. Maybe he was right…my godfather, Jacob, would probably be okay with me living there for a while.

"Yeah, maybe my godfather," I said as we continued down the school hallway towards History.

"The…er…doggish one?" Ted asked.

"That's him," I replied. Going to see him would be pretty fun and maybe Mom and…that man would have things worked out by the time I got home.

Who am I trying to kid? They were never going to get back together and I needed to face it. But I'm only 13…aren't I supposed to have dreams and ambitions to?

Ugh. History, English, Science, Math…and so on. I had a boring day ahead of me…

Well, at least it would have been boring if miss 'chatty Kathy' (literally, her name is Katherine) hadn't been listening in on my conversation with Ted this morning and told everyone what happened.

But she did, and now I have to deal with the annoying questions all day. Can't people just keep their mouths shut? Don't they realize that I don't want to talk to them?

I hate people. I hate the entire human race. Well, Mom and Ted are an exception.

"Hey Teddy bear…" A girl whispered to Ted, obviously trying to be seductive (can we say…awkward).

"Hey, did you hear that Kadyn had to go home early today because apparently she was caught making out with Josh?" Ted said, mocking her annoying voice while trying to be gossipy.

"Really? She did? Are you sure? I have to go tell everyone!" And with that, Emma ran off.

See, Kadyn was one of the vilest, cruelest, most hideous, and most popular people you will ever meet. Josh was an art nerd. How funny.

"I can't believe she is that stupid," I said.

"I can," said a voice behind me. I turned to see that it was a girl about my age; she was probably fairly new here.

"Oh hey. I didn't see you there."

"Well, yeah…I am behind you," she said sarcastically.

"Right. You new here?"

"I've been here for about a month now. This school is so freaking big though, you almost never see the same people again. Unfortunately for me, Emma and Kadyn are people I see. Again. And again. And again…"

"Yeah, they're pretty annoying."

"Yeah, I've noticed that a lot of people are, but not you. You haven't asked me one time why the ends of my hair are purple, or why I have a nose ring. There must be something wrong with you."

Her hair was purple? She had a nose ring? Oh I suppose she does…I didn't notice. Her eyes were the prettiest shade of violet I had ever seen, they were captivating all of my attention.

"I didn't notice," I said as I continued to stare intently into her eyes while continuing our conversation.

She laughed.

"You actually are very different. My name's Adria by the way. Is you friend that was here a minute ago as nice as you?"

"Yeah…but he's not near as charming." I joked.

"You are a very charming person. Sit with me at lunch? Not many people want to be seen with a freak," She said without an ounce of shame. I liked this girl, she wasn't afraid of being shunned.

"Of course. Ted and I usually sit outside at the smaller table near the window closest to the door to the Science room."

"Um…How about I meet you at the cafeteria door and then I don't have to try to pretend that I understand anything you just said?" She asked with a smile.

"Sounds good. See you then." I ended our conversation as I started walking towards the Science building. Today we were learning about fish. Just like last year. And the year before, and the year before…Anyone else noticing a pattern?

"Oh Tony, did your mom really walk out on your dad because he was a drug dealer and he was so drunk one day that he started to abuse her?" One girl asked with a curious and sympathetic voice.

"My name is Anthony, not Tony, and no she did not."

"But Kat said that-"

"Well it's my family, I think I would know if that had happened."

"Oh okay…" she said, a bit disappointed.

Science was a blur, as I said, we had learned this stuff for many years, so it was easy.

Walking out of the jam-packed classroom, I thought of Adria. I had known her for, what? An hour or so, and I still liked her a lot. She was different from everyone else who had shunned me once I became friends with Ted, a dork.

I might have even thought about asking her to the dance our pathetic little school is having in two weeks. But love lives aren't going so well in my family at the moment, and so I don't think I could handle one myself.

As I neared the two large doors leading to the full cafeteria, I saw Adria walking up to me.

"Hey Anthony! I saw Ted and so I started talking to him. He's really funny, and nice. I don't get why people write him off as a dork just because he's smart. He's probably a really great friend to have," she said, motioning towards Ted, who was slowly following behind her.

"Yeah, well, middle-school is like that. It sucks. But at least we have each other. And now I guess we have you," I replied with a cheery smile.

She returned my smile.

"Do you want to come over later? Anthony and I always have a movie night on Friday nights. Tonight it's at my house. Usually he comes over and we order pizza and watch movies and stuff. You can spend the night to if you want," Ted offered.

"Sounds so much better than what I had planned," she replied with relief.

"What did you have planned?" I asked.

"Absolutely nothing." We all laughed and ate our lunch, while talking about what movies to rent tonight. I love my friends. Plural. Dose. Deux. Due. Zwei. Twee. TWO! As in: I have more than just Ted now, I have Adria.

School was good. Lunch was good. Friends are good. How's Mom? How's home? How's the other half of my life?

Aww how cute. Anyways, send me your name and you can be an OC. Love you guys! Remember: LOOOOOOONG REVIEWS!
