Okay the ONLY reason why I am up and NOT in bed is because I can't sleep. Stupid fire alarm was pulled AGAIN for the second time this week, and now the entire dorm building is getting fined for it (It's called a community fine). So I am pissed right now…but not that pissed to say a few HUGE shout outs.

AW!! I've been meaning to a huge shout out to all Twilight Mums out there. My mum joined TM recently and has been telling me all the wonderful mums have written about my stories so far. –Sniffles– I love TM! YEAH TM!! I also would like to bow to all those members of Kellmett Happens. They are like seriously the greatest fan club dedicated to Kellan Lutz/Emmett. Lol and I think the CUTEST ever, only cute people would call a guy a princess.

Anyways, here is chapter Ten…ENJOY

(Disclaimer is on my profile)

Chapter Ten

Isn't this stalking?

Bella's POV

Though I was sitting at our table at lunch, my mind wasn't. My mind was not on the current topic that Alice was talking about. About her weekend that she didn't tell me Monday because I was sick with a fever in bed. Alice, who hates to get sick, kept her distance that day. And since she never told me what happened this weekend, she was telling me right then and there.

Thanks. Actually out of anyone I know, I rather talk to you than anyone. Strange right? Never meeting and yet spilling our secrets to each other.

I played with my food on my tray, the little peas going around and around my spoon. It was strange, trusting a complete stranger that you have never seen than someone you've see every day of your life. But I was glad that he trusted me, it meant that I was becoming a friend of his.

One of the reasons as to way I needed R&R was to do in a few minutes. My parents are in the hospital and have been for a while. My father hasn't been getting better, so I needed to get away to think and talk. And I'm about to do the hardest thing ever in my life.

I have to say good bye to my father.

I bit my lip in attempt to stop from tearing up. I could feel his pain, the sadness through the letter and felt it spreading through me at each word I read. He was alone, in pain. I wish I could comfort him, give him a hug.

PS—No matter what you go by, you will always be B.S. to me. That was the first thing I remember about you with your classic signature.

Oh wonderful, my mind thought.

"Bella…hello, Bella," said a female voice somewhere in the distance.

I shall forever be remembered as—I shivered—bovine defecation.

"Bella!"

Why did I write B.S.? Why didn't I just write I.S. or I.M.S. like I said.

"BELLA!"

I was suddenly shaken violently.

"Wh—what?!" I said as who ever continue to shake me.

"God, where did you go off to?" Alice said, looking at me.

"Huh?"

"We've been trying to get your attention for at least five minutes," Emmett said, Alice giggling.

"Sorry," I said, blushing.

"Where was your little mind?" Alice asked, resting her hand on her palm.

"Just thinking about something," I said, blushing.

"Mm-hmm," Alice and Emmett said together.

"The question is what you were thinking about," Alice said, smiling.

I sighed and told them about the email I got last night.

"Aw!" Alice said. Her eyes were all glossy and dewy.

"That's sad," Emmett said, giving me a hug.

"I just want to go right now to Seattle and give E.A.M. a big hug," Alice said, hugging herself as though she was hugging someone else.

I sighed. "I know. It just makes me depressed to know he's all sad."

"Right now, he just needs a good friend," Emmett pointed out, hugging me again.

"Oh Bella, I was all happy about this weekend when Jasper and Rosalie—" Emmett blushed "—will be coming up to see us and you're all sad. I feel such a horrible person." Alice dabbed under her eyes with a tissue. I hope she used waterproof mascara.

Alice threw down her tissue and put her hands on her hips. "I need happy now. Seriously that threw my all aura blue."

"Sorry," I said, leaning onto Emmett's shoulder as he rubbed mine in comfort.

"I think we should go see him," Alice said.

"Can't," I said. "It's a weekday for one, and you know Charlie won't let me go to Seattle on a school night. And two, we don't know where he lives outside of Seattle."

"Fine we'll call him," Alice said, getting out her cell phone.

"Three, we don't have his number."

Alice narrowed her eyes at me and stuck out her tongue.

"Ladies, ladies, let's be civil about this," Emmett said, shoving a few gummie bears into his mouth. (AN: lol yes, this is my personal little clip to Kellmeett Happens and their "Give Kellan Lutz a Sugar Rush" campaign)

"I'm being civil."

"Seriously, Alice, how am I going to talk to him when I don't have his number and the only things I know about him is his initials, where he goes to school and live."

"And must not forget about his parents," she pointed out. "I can always call the hospital—"

"Alice…may I ask which hospital?" I said, rested on my arm against the table.

Alice blinked.

"There is more than one hospital in Seattle."

"You're going to call him," Alice said, looking at her phone while she did something.

"Bella does have a point, Alice," Emmett said. "You don't know a lot about the guy."

"And besides even if we knew enough information about him, which we don't I would like to add, no one will give us information about him. And even if we did come across come across his number, isn't that stalking, Alice? Do I seem like a stalker?" I said, raising an eyebrow with a smirk.

Alice smiled deviously as she said, "Oh, I have my ways, Bella. Never doubt Mary Alice Brandon when she wants something." She pulled out her cell, snapped it open and pressed one button. Holding it up to her ear, she put on her "daddy, I need something" face as she said, "Daddy...I need you to do something for me. Well...actually, it's for Bella."

My eyes went wide, and my jaw dropped.

"Well, you see Bella knows this guy but only by his initials. And like recently he's been in some pain and Bella wants to wish him to get better soon…Huh? I know about internet safety daddy, but we'll call from an unlisted prepaid phone. Anyways, she wants to comfort him but doesn't have his number, can you use your connections in Seattle to help her out? We happen to know where he does to school which can also help you." Alice gave the school that E.A.M. went too and went "mm-hmm" a few times. Then Alice's eyes went wide as she smiled, bouncing in her seat. "Oh you will?! Oh thank you daddy. Okay…talk to you in ten. I love you daddy!"

Alice closed her phone with a snap and smiled at me. "Aren't I the greatest or what?!"

I dropped my head onto the table and banged it a few times. I had a headache growing, not only because of the table which only added pain but because of what Alice just did! I raised my head to speak to her when her phone vibrated.

"It's daddy," she said, opening her phone. "Whoa, daddy, that was quick." She laughed and made a made search for something which I found out was a pen and paper. She muttered a few numbers, writing them down quickly. "Okay, daddy, thank you! Love you. Okay, bye."

Alice hung up the phone, tearing the paper from her notebook she wrote the numbers down, and then handed it too me.

"Call him."

"Alice, it's the middle of lunch. Besides, he's in school too. I can't call him," I said, pointing out the "duh."

Alice narrowed her eyes and took the paper back from me.

"Fine, my house then," she said, stuffing the paper into her purse. "We'll make the call after school."

I sighed. I knew that I wasn't getting out of this no matter what.

"Seriously Alice," I whined, sitting on Alice's bed as dialed the number her father gave her. "I look like a stalker."

Alice glared at me as she handed over the phone. "No, you look like a concern friend."

I gave her a pleading face as I held the phone up to my ear. I listened to the rings, muttering under my breath that he didn't pick up the phone. But of course, my luck was against me because on the third ring, there was a click and a deep male voice.

"Hello?"

My breath hitched at the sound of that voice. It was deep and rich, and possibly worth swooning over.

"Bella," Alice hissed, elbowing me.

"Ow," I said, glaring at her.

"Hello?" said the voice on the other line.

"Oh, uh, is, uh—" I turned to Alice. "I don't know his name, Alice."

Alice smacked her forehead and drew her hand down her face in clear pain.

"Hello?" said the voice very impatient.

"Is E.A.M. there?" I said, quickly, holding my breath.

The person on the line didn't say anything for a moment. "This is Edward A. Masen if that is the person you are looking for," he said. I could almost vision him pursing his lips and tapping his foot. "May I ask who is calling?"

"Um…this is Bella, um, Bella Swan," I said.

"Do I know you?" I could tell that he was trying to think hard to place me.

I smiled slightly. "Um, sorta," I said, playfully.

"Clearly not school."

I said nothing.

"I don't think I know a Bella Swan."

"Well you know me as…B.S."

There was a moment of silence on the phone as my words process through his head. And then, "How the hell did you get my number?" Uh-oh.

I threw a glare at Alice. "I told you this seemed like I was stalking him."

"Hello?"

"Hey, we're offering to comfort him."

"It still looks like we're stalking him, Alice," I hissed.

"Hello?!"

"Oh sorry," I said into the phone, realizing that he was still on the line.

"Yes, thank you, now are you saying that you're the same B.S. from Forks? The one that—"

"—wrote a spontaneous email," Alice shouted. "YES!"

I groaned. "That's the pixie friend."

"How did you get this number?"

"Alice," I said, turning to look at Alice.

"Daddy but of course," she said, looking innocent.

I rolled my eyes.

"Alice called her father and pulled a few strings."

"He was able to call his school and they were able to tell him that there was only one E.A.M. in the magnet program so they gave him number. Daddy being a lawyer and all, he was able to convince them to give the number of course," Alice said, slightly pleased with herself and the situation.

"Of course," I muttered.

"Hmm," Edward said.

I blushed and said, "This is very awkward isn't it?"

"I guess that is the best word to put it, yes," Edward said.

I chuckled. "Sorry, just," I said before pausing in thought.

"Just what?" Edward asked.

"Alice and I wanted to call you and say that…we're sorry for your loss," I said, finishing off my sentence with a whisper.

"Oh," Edward said, sounding like he was taken back. "That was…was rather sweet of you."

"Are you okay?" I asked, biting my lip. "I mean, it must be…hard." I finished that up lamely.

There was a moment where all I heard was silent breathing, like Edward was breathing in and out of his mouth. Of course Alice asked if he was still there, and rather loudly at that.

"Sh," I hissed at Alice.

"I'm…I'm going to make it," Edward said softly. This was different than the email. Then I had to read his pain, this time I could hear it. How it felt like his voice was a knife stabbing my soul to the point I felt tears. "My uncle wants me to see a counselor."

"That's a good idea," I said, pulling my legs up and resting my chin on my knee.

"Yeah," he said.

"And of course, you have me to talk to," I said, trying to lighten the mood.

I heard a faint smile as he said, "Oh yes, I have you and the pixie there for me to lean on."

It just hit me then that he didn't have our numbers and that he wasn't crazy enough to "stalk" us like Alice did with him.

"Oh right, you don't have my number."

Edward chuckled and said that no, he didn't have my number.

"Here then, this is my number," I said before I gave him my cell. "Call that any time."

"Sure," he said.

"Edward, who is that?" said a male voice, though this one much softer.

I heard Edward growl and muttered what I thought was the name "Samuel" but I wasn't sure.

"Hey Bella I have to go. There is a 13 year old…brat who is bugging me."

"Oh, er, sure," I said.

"I'll call you tomorrow as soon as school ends out," he said, "Okay?"

I bit my lip and nodded.

"I take it your nodding?"

"Oh!" I said, realizing that he couldn't see me. "Uh, yeah, I was." I blushed scarlet causing Alice to laugh. "Shut up Alice," I hissed at her.

Edward chuckled on the phone. "Talk to you later," he said.

"Night Edward," I said.

There was a slight pause before he said, "Night Bella."

And then he hung up. I clicked the 'end' button and just stared at the phone.

So I have a job for all my WONDERFUL readers out there!! Yes you. What job do I have to offer you guys? Well I had a creative stroke the other day and I thought, "Don't all stories have a cover?" Well I would design something but I don't have photoshop and I don't want to use Paint so…I thought why not my readers design something. I think it's an interesting job! You guys will have part of my story and your design will be posted up on my webpage for others to see. You can design it anyway you want. It has to be related to this story though, and I would like if you try to use the cast of the Twilight movie, just give me the credit/copyright of who took the picture though. Don't want to be in trouble…So? What do you guys think?! Are you up to it? Just email me with your design attached to it, my email is on my profile FYI. I'm looking forward to seeing them.

Huggles,
Nollie
