A/N: Thank you so much for all of your reviews, I am going to start putting the nice stuff up her. Then the notes, chapter references, and mean comments, at the end. I think I might put acknowledgments at the bottom. But that could change. So, enjoy! BTW, As of June 18th 2009 I am officially a teenager!

Disclaimer: I will always forget so… for the whole story I do not own Twilight. I don't even own Nathan *sigh* but I wish he was mine.

P.S. If you guess the song for this chapter (not the one I listened to repeatedly while writing), the one that part of this chap is based on. I will give you a sneak peek at the next chap.

I got to school ten minutes before the bell rang. Normally I try to get here earlier, but I woke up a little late this morning. Apparently Phil didn't like that. I spent an extra twenty minutes putting on make-up. Now for most of the girls here, that's completely normal. But with them you can tell that they really made an effort with their look. With me? With me… I looked like I only did my hair in the morning.

My locker was my first stop. I didn't get why you couldn't just carry your backpack around. I put my bag in my locker, and slammed it shut as hard as I could. Why wouldn't I shut my locker and be able to go straight to class? There was Nathan Hurts. Now Nathan was defiantly hot! He used to be one of my best friends, and then we started to drift apart. It was right after Alice moved away. I would have thought he was using me to see Alice a bunch, but it was because he had sports and I was so distant from Phil. It was the worst cause of Phil. I had lost Nathan; he had been the one that was always there.

"Hey Bells what's up?" He asked none-chalantly. He had a sweet voice.

"Nothing Nathan… what's up with you? It's been a while since, you know, we talked." He used to wait for me at my locker all of the time. There were always rumors that we were more than best friends. Everyone thought we secretly dated, that is until the Phil thing.

"I know. I never meant to leave you… it sort of just happened you know?" I did know. I knew better than him.

"We both changed. I get it, so why did you decide to meet me?" It was so weird for him to be doing this.

"I don't know. I was walking to first and we have it together, and you were right here." He shrugged like it was nothing. Come to think of it, it really was nothing. We walked to class, catching up a little, but nothing big. It was so nice to just talk to him after so long.

First period passed quickly. Second, following shortly after. Before I knew it, it was time for lunch. I had just sat down when the principals' groggy, "I just woke up", voice came on the announcements.

"Isabella Swan, could you please come to the office. You will be going home." Damn it! This was supposed to be where Phil couldn't get to me. Maybe mom decided we had enough, and she was going to take me away from all of this. And maybe that is a load of bull shit! Like she cared enough to get me away from this and leave Phil. I probably forgot to turn off my bedroom light or something, Phil got home early, and now he's taking me home to kick my ass. Gee… this should be fun.

I got to the front office so slow. I practically dragged myself to the room. Then, I saw a flash of bronze and stunning green. Familiar, green. It was Edward. Edward, who I barely knew, had come to save me.

"Miss Swan, do you know this man?" Mrs. Cope asked, being stunned speechless, I just nodded diligently. "Can I get your signature?" I walked over to the desk and picked up the pen. I signed my name as fast as I could. I couldn't believe what was happening. Did I tell him where I went to school? No dumbass it's the only high school in Forks! Oh yeah…

"Are you ready to go Bella?" He was even better in person, if that's possible. Again I just nodded. I followed him out to the car.

"Where are you going?" I asked Edward, a bit confused. He was walking across the parking lot, the opposite way.

"To my car? Bella, where else would I be going? You need to give me instructions to your house okay?" Nothing fazed him. He knew exactly how this was supposed to work out and- wait… What are we doing? Where is he taking me? I was climbing into his car, which I really didn't look at. I wonder what he drives…focus Bella! Oh, right, focus I can do this.

"Umm… Edward?" He turned to look at me as we turned out of the school. "You wanna tell me what's going on? I really would like to know what you are doing here." Now he looked kind of sad. "Not that I didn't want to see you. I'm just stunned." The look on his face wasn't sad anymore, but I couldn't read it. He was either an open book, or he wore this mask. Not at all like mine, he just hid his emotions, that or he had a lot of emotions and I couldn't make sense of all of them at once.

"You are going to come with me for a while, okay? Bella, I-I can't have you hear. Then there is Alice-"Alice! What did he do?

"Did you tell Alice?! How could you, I mean I trusted you with this. Then right away you go behind my back and tell my sister that our step dad is abusing me! I really thought you were my friend!" He looked confused as hell now. Was I really going to have to explain that? He didn't come off as stupid or anything.

"Bella…I didn't tell Alice, she doesn't even know where I am right now. Okay? I rushed here. I grabbed my wallet and a bag with water and an extra pair of clothes. Oh, and I grabbed something to eat. After you signed off I drove straight down here. I do care." Wow, look at him. You could tell he was telling the truth. His emerald eyes bored into mine.

"Okay, Edward. Where to now? I am going to need clothes and such you know." We were on the road and I peered out at the road before us. It wasn't pouring. Everyone thinks that since it always rains that means it pours. It sometimes did of course, but it's mostly like now. Only a drizzle. I watched the light drops fall, the gently tap the ground. We pulled up to my old house. Was I going to be able to come back? Hopefully if I ever did, it was to get the rest of my things. His silver Volvo parked in my driveway. We both got out and walked up the creaky stairs to my front door. I was so embarrassed to have him in here. I mean it didn't smell like Fabreez. Plus, I didn't have a lot of time to clean, and nobody else did.

"Umm…How long am I going to be gone? So I know how much stuff to bring?" I could be gone for a week, or I could be gone for a month. I really didn't know. I didn't know where I was even going to be exactly.

"Just bring all of your clothes; you never know what you may need." He was looking around for Phil I think. "I'll catch up with you, just go start packing." It was almost like he said it to himself. I looked at him funny, and then descended up the stairs. Possibly for the last time. I opened the door to my dreary room; it had been my sanctuary for so long now. Opening all of my drawers I dumped everything on my bed. I grabbed the biggest suitcase we had, and stared to throw clothes into it.

"What are you doing?" I turned to see Edward standing behind me, his eyebrow raised in a, what the hell, way.

"I don't think I can shut my suitcase." I had been standing here staring at the thing for ten minutes.

"Here let me help you." And just like that he shut it.

"Well, thank you superman. God, what is your kryptonite?" I asked playing around.

"That is yet to be discovered. But what if I'm the crazy one?" He looked a little more serious now, but I could see his lips twitching. Hell, even if he WAS crazy, I'm still head over heels for him.

"Well, then I'm still going to be holding your hand. All you have to do is keep me there with your superhero might." I laced my fingers through his. He looked down and smiled at me."If not for you, I might be dead, well…soon you know."

"Bella you are so broken, but don't worry. I'll put you back together."

"I think I need to be on solid ground fist." We both looked pained now. I looked into his eyes and I knew, I need, Edward. Forever.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

A/N: I am finally done with this chapter! I have been working on it for three days straight, plus trying to work on my story. I never got to say this but, R.I.P. Daddy's little cannibal. If you guys don't know, on May 8th, I think, she was killed in a drunken driving accident. She was an amazing author. I loved her work so much, I think that she could have been a great writer.

Anyhoo… I would like to thank everyone for their reviews. Guess that song and I will give you a sneak peek.

I am one of those authors where I need to know EXACTLY what was going through your mind when you read it, so please let me know good or bad. Thank you Geena! She gave me my 90th review. Review please! Thank you guys!
