Another chapter :D and thanks for the reviews I got, and I'm sorry I didn't update yesterday, I had a minor writers block for a few hours, but it's all sorted out. And there's more Edward in this chapter. So read and enjoy.

Chapter 9: Bella POV

When the sun started to shine through the window I started to think of school again. I would have to go, I couldn't miss another day. I just wouldn't talk to Edward or maybe he might feel remorse and at least apologise for what he did yesterday. I wore a white skirt to my knees that wasn't tight, just floated and a dark blue v-neck top with sleeves to just below my elbows which just dropped and didn't cling to me either and I wore the dark blue flats I had. I put on my iPod and I Giorni by Ludovico Einaudi came on. A/N check this out on you tube I thought it was perfect for Bella's lullaby and much better than the film one :D

It was so calming and I entered the school in a much better mood than throughout the night. People were staring again if not even more than they had on my first day. But this time I didn't mind, I just didn't care, they weren't a part of my life anyway. I saw Edward's Volvo was here but he was nowhere in sight. I tried to think of what Rosalie told me last night, that we were meant to be and we will get together eventually. I just hope so much that she was right.

The say flew by due to the nerves I had for lunch, I would see Edward now and I had no idea what would happen. I wouldn't go up and talk to him like I did yesterday, I know knew that wouldn't work. He was sitting at the usual table he sat at looking worse than I had ever seen him, including the first day after my death. Edward saw I was looking in his direction so I twisted my head suddenly to act like I was talking to Emmett. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed that he continued to stare at me. If only I could blush I thought. He always liked that.

We sat our table which was unfortunately far from Edward's. I was o confused, I don't want to be near him, not in the same room, yet I want no I need to be close to him. This was doing my head in I wanted everything to be sorted out the way it should be. Rosalie and Emmett started talking as usual and I sat quiet in my seat for the hour, just thinking. I was lost in my own world when the bell shrilly rang and I jumped from the surprise, I had forgotten I was in school for the last ten minutes. Looking around the cafeteria I noticed most of the students had already headed to class, Edward was one of them. I wasn't looking forward to biology, but maybe Edward was in a better mood today, and maybe we would talk. I hoped so.

I walked as slowly as I could manage to biology and entered the classroom. As I expected Edward was sitting at our table. I walked up and sat down and got out my books. The teacher was slightly late for class so everyone was talking. I started doodling on my book out of boredom.

"Can I apologise for yesterday?" Edward asked me quietly, as though he was nervous.

"Yeah, sure. I guess I accept it" I said, every word hurt.

"Well, my name's Edward, I know who you are since you said yesterday" he seemed more uncomfortable at the casual reference to the previous day.

"I just want you to know that I'm not really like how I was when I last spoke to you, I'm just really...troubled right now if that's the word" his voice was soft, but it still had a harshness to it as an undertone, I could only notice it because of hearing him speak so much before. He still didn't like me.

"Okay, but I know you don't like me at all so why try? Why not just completely ignore me for the one lesson we share?" I needed to hear his response, that know he felt remorse would he still be truthful. I didn't want to look up at him but, I couldn't stop my eyes from moving to look into his.

I was lost in the green pools for a moment until he spoke again, "I may not like you at all, but that doesn't mean I can't be polite"

I rolled my eyes, typical. It was only so he didn't make himself look bad.

"Well, then don't be polite, I'd rather not converse with you at all unless needed say for an experiment in this class, than to talk with you just so you can keep up the good, polite, kind act" this time I was the one speaking coldly.

"Okay, well I'll just say this, I don't hate you I don't know what you're like, but it's just that you force me to remember things that happened recently, therefore I hate what you do but not you" he said and I knew exactly which memories I forced him to relive in his mind, maybe I should have gone with another name, but at least he didn't hate me personally.

"Well, tell me now then, will you for one hour a day talk to me normally, or do we sit in silence unless forced?"

"I guess one hour is possible, but can I call you something else? Just so it's easier"

Yes, my mind was telling me, Edward could do whatever he wanted as long as he was happy. But what could he call me? Certainly not Bella, which would make things even worse.

"Okay, but I can't think what other name to use"

"Then why don't I just ever say your name?"

"That would work" I said and smiled, at least we were talking.

The teacher came in then and was out of breath showing that he had just run to get here. He began explaining the new topic we were starting; I knew it was something to do with chemical formulas, but to be honest my mind was too busy to concentrate in the slightest. Class ended all too soon for me to carry on enjoying the presence beside me. I said goodbye to Edward and left to meet Rosalie. Emmett was there this time, and I must have looked really bad yesterday because they immediately picked up on my good mood. No one said anything since the corridor wasn't exactly empty yet, but they had probably guessed why I was happier anyway. It wasn't that difficult.

We got home quickly and before I had had the chance to shrug my black coat off my shoulders Emmett was bombarding me with questions and assumptions.

"Wow Bella, you're so much happier today, Edward doesn't know who you are yet does he. No he mustn't otherwise he would be here now. Unless he left you, if he did I would pummel him into a pulp. But if he left you, you wouldn't be happy, I know, he wasn't acting evil to you like yesterday" and throughout all of that I tried to edge a word in but to no avail.

"Emmett stop let Bella have a chance to speak" said Rosalie above Emmett, he quietened immediately and turned to me with an eager expression on his face, begging for answers.

"Okay, well you've seen that I'm happier, which is true and it is down to Edward, but only because there is hope. Nothing really life changing happened, and he doesn't know that I'm Bella Emmett" I explained quickly, I expected them to be disappointed with my explanation but they weren't.

After a short conversation over my last lesson I started to watch kerrang due to lack of anything else to do. But the fact that Emmett was being unnecessarily loud and the fact that Rosalie was talking nonstop to either of us I decided I needed some space, just to hear myself think. I stood up and got my coat back on, the eyes of Emmett and Rosalie were following my every movement.

"I'm just going to go walk for a while, clear my head, I'll be back within a few hours probably" I said.

I saw Emmett's eyes dart quickly to Rosalie and back to me as he said, "Don't worry Bella, we have plenty to be doing in your absence, take as long as you want"

Rosalie understood Emmett's meaning and said eagerly, "Bella that's a great idea, now that you're happier you don't need us with you as much, we'll be perfectly fine on our own"

I shuddered internally at the thought of what they were meaning; I didn't need to know when my best friend's were going to have sex.

"I left the cottage and once I was well away from my home I listened for the sound of a nearby road to head back to Forks. There was a road pretty near me on my right and sure enough after a minutes' walk I reached the hard tarmac of the road I died on, but further north. Thankfully I didn't have to pass the last place my heart beat and I decided to just go to Forks and in the surrounding woods. When I passed the very outskirts of Forks I caught a scent that was completely unknown to me. It was sweet, very sweet but in a good way, a blend of many different flowers all complimenting each other, and just about any attracting smell you could name. I preferred Edwards scent though.

I was confused; it was slightly human, but not natural. Kind of like mine Emmett's ad Rosalie, we weren't natural and we weren't humans. But it was different than the smell of an angel. Instead of my choice in path I headed away to the destination of the unknown scent. A beautiful white house with three storeys came into view and it was obviously inhabited. I called out to see if anyone was around. Almost immediately after I finished speaking three figures were standing before me.
