Thank You To My Wonderful Beta Tara!

She never called, or acknowledged me - not since that night.

It was now Thursday, the first time I've seen her since giving her my number. She hasn't looked at me since I sat down at the table.

She probably realized that I'm not someone she wanted to associate with. I guess it's for the best.

I clearly have an unhealthy attachment to her.

I still have her shirt, hidden away so my siblings can't smell her scent on it.

I haven't watched her since that night either.

My family said that I have been acting weird.

I'm sure that's true. I looked like a mess. I could see it in everyone's thoughts, but I couldn't bring myself to care.

I glanced across the cafeteria at her. She was staring at her phone as if waiting for something.

A reply from someone?

I looked at my phone under the table, wondering if I missed a message from her.

Nothing.

I've never felt so alone. I felt like a stalker and I couldn't help it. I was hyper aware of her every move.

The bell rang for the next class.

Forty-four minutes until Biology.

She looked over at me today in class - only for a few seconds and then looked away when I turned toward her.

Friday

She dressed up today.

She looked beautiful.

Her hair was pulled up in a clip with a small strand hanging down; she wore clear lip gloss and a simple, silver chain necklace.

Her nails were painted clear and she had silver stud earrings and a cotton black dress on with her converse.

Our colors matched.

The one day Alice had relented from dressing me and I unconsciously chose to match her with a black shirt and jeans…and the same shoes.

I put my hand over my eyes and sighed.

God I'm a sap. It's a coincidence! Nothing more!

She looked over at me and blushed slightly, chuckling quietly under her breath. Her straight, white teeth showed as she smiled and her body was illuminated by the light from the window.

I smiled back at her as the bell rang.

She threw her arm up at me to wave good-bye and then walked out of the room.

I needed to hunt. I wasn't hungry really, just needed to clear my head. It is times like these I thought about breaking down and telling my family about Bella. But, then I think about all the horrible things they'd tease me about and the immediate suggestion of moving or murdering my Bella was something I couldn't stand to hear.

I tossed my keys to Jasper with a smile, got in the back seat and announced to them my plan to hunt.

They passed it off as me brooding.

I probably was.

I laid back and closed my eyes for the rest of the ride home.

Buzz.

I stopped mid gulp of the thick warm blood pouring down my throat.

Buzz.

I was a mess. I hadn't been very careful on this hunt - sort of reckless with my kills, just pouncing and drinking from one animal to another, leaving a trail of carcasses behind me.

Buzz.

I was covered in blood from head to toe. My hair was tinged with red, my white collared shirt stained with the spray of blood and my tan pants covered with mud. I licked my lips and unsuccessfully wiped the rest of my face with the back of my hand.

Buzz.

Danm-it Alice! I'll be home soon!

I went to reach for my phone, but looked at my hand. I rubbed my dirty palm on my thigh before I stuffed my hand into my pocket and pulled out my phone.

When I glanced down, I saw that it wasn't a number I recognized.

"Hi Ed, it's Bella."
