A/N: READ VERY IMPORTANT!!! Alrightey people don't kill me a hella lota things happened this week so I couldn't update Tuesday like I promised. My friend Christina (Chris) was diagnosed with type two diabetes. She loves my story and reads it all the time. So because she asked me to Tali is now diabetic. This changes my story around a whole lot but hey what can you do? Any questions don't hesitate to ask! On ward and….um up ward I guess?

Disclaimer: Still own nothing….still not getting over it

Tali's POV

Jake picks me up and starts walking like he did when he first showed me what he was. The trees seemed thicker then they did before but Jake kept pushing forward. "You okay back there?" he ask turning his head to look at me. I smile nod and kiss him. He gets caught up in the kiss and stops to hold me. I start to pull myself closer to him squeezing him tighter. I just cant get enough of this boy! He smiles under my lips and chuckles under his breath. I pull away so I can breathe and start panting he laughs but then stops all of the sudden. He puts me down and looks around. "Stay right here." His tone scared me, like he was serious and I've never heard Jake be serious. I nod and he runs off. I sit down in my spot and look around when I hear something behind me. It cant be Jake because he went off in the other way. Didn't he? I should really pay more attention. I stand up slowly brushing my but off and turn around to see a guy…a guy of whom is not Jake…

He had marble white skin like Edward and beauty like him too. He smiled flashing very white teeth with some kind of coating on them. And his red eyes were…wait his…eyes? Why the hell—no; how the hell did he have red eyes! He started to walk towards me and creased my cheek with his finger. I tried to call Jake but nothing came out and my head was saying run but my body just wasn't cooperating! He leaned in and smelled me. "You my dear smell lovely." I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I was scared out of my mind. "Don't worry" he whispered, "it'll only hurt for a minute."

I'm in the business of misery

Lets take it from the top

She's got a body like an hour glass

It's ticking like a clock

I shot up from bed and look over at my alarm. I feel sweat pouring off my face and my hair is crazy. I run my hands through it and look at the clock again. Half past five. Ugh! I hit the alarm clock and the song cut off. It was just a dream?…wow. I get out of bed, slip and fall on a piece of paper. Ow my ass! What the hell? I pick up a piece of paper and read it

Tal,

I'll pick you up at 4. Make sure Bella and Cullen aren't there. I'll see you later.

Love you,

Jake

Yay! I cant wait! I stand up from my Bella moment and go to my drawers. I pull out my purse and take out my onetouch ultramini meter. My mother thought it would be nice to get me a pink one…She knows I hate pink but got it for me anyway. There was a green one which is closer to my favorite color but nooooo; she just had to get the pink one. I prick my finger and wait a minute. It beeps and says 50. Crap, I'll have to take the test again. It's not fair, before I always thought well…bigger people got diabetes. I was wrong obviously because I'm 118 and skinny as hell and I have it. My dad said I inherited it from his side of the family, my Nana to be exact.

I go to my closet and put on some tight fit jeans and brush my hair down. Looking at my self in the mirror I couldn't help but think of how much my face looked just like my dads. I go to my closet but there are no shirts that match these pants. Maybe Bells has one. I slip on a white T and walk to Bells room. Edward was sitting in a seat 'sleep' but he wasn't I could tell.

"How'd you know?" he ask when I reach the closet. I open the door and start searching for a shirt shrugging my shoulders.

"Mhmm," I pick out a shirt and hold it in front of me, "Just did. How'd you know what I was thinking." No that wont work. Oh maybe that one. I grab another one and hold it in front of me.

"Jake didn't tell you?"

"Jake didn't tell me anything. He just showed me something, you probably know what that was right?" he nodded "Not surprised, something's up with you too. Am I right?" he nodded again. I got a new shirt to look at and tilted my head.

"You are"

"I know. So what are you? A vampire?" I had sarcasm in my voice and started to laugh at myself. I stopped and looked at him through the mirror he wasn't laughing…why the hell isn't he laughing? He shrugged and I looked at him trying to process this. "You have got to be kidding me!" I turned to look at him and he shook his head. My mouth droped and I dropped Bells shirt. "You're not kidding?"

"No…I'm a vampire."

"Wow…this is just…wow…"

"Yeah,"

"Wait you-"

"Animal blood."

"Oh…"

"I can smell human blood though and it is still very tempting. Except for yours."

"Then you could smell mine earlier?"

"I can smell yours now. But if you are referring to when you pricked yourself for the dia-"

"Yeah that. How'd you know I had…"

"I could tell, your blood doesn't smell as sweet as most peoples."

"Yeah…" I looked down at the shirt and was satisfied with it, "Well I'm going to go get dressed. I'll see you later." I walked past him and out the door back to my room.

School…

"Hi," a boy came to stand in front of me after my calculus class. He had messy brown hair and bright blue eyes. I smiled up to him and tilted my head and said hi. "I'm Garret Kiner. Your Taliah right?"

"Tali, yeah." Boy Bells wasn't kidding when she said people do like full names here.

"So where are you from?" He asked sitting next to me now. I sighed and pulled down my sunglasses

"Chi-town."

"Chicago, why'd you come here?"

"My mom sent me here." I sighed exasperated. "I'm sorry who are you again?" I not trying to be mean…okay I am but I did really forget what his name was. Isn't like Paul or something? He looks like a Paul.

"You really forgot it?"

"Yeah…I'm sorry I'm really bad with names" lie

"Oh its okay. What do you think it is?"

"If I say what I think it is that's what I'm calling you from here on out."

"Okay,"

"Okay, you look like a Paul."

He laughed and shook his head "It's Garret."

"Yeah well it's Paul to me now. Peace Paul." I walk as fast as I can away from him and towards gym. My favorite class. The only reason I liked gym was because I was good at pretty much all sports except for softball. I opened the door and saw everyone running around shooting basket balls and the teacher writing something down on the side. I didn't realize I was this late! Stupid Paul.

"Excuse me?" I say walking up to him. He looks up and frowns.

"Glasses." He says. I push them up and hand him the slip of paper the secretary told me to get signed. "Taliah Holfman?"

"Tali."

"Okay for today have a seat over there tomorrow you can play."

"Um…"

"Yes?"

"Well I was just wondering; how is your volley ball team?"

"Best team in Washington. Why?"

"I have a couple of scouts looking for me-"

"Aren't you Swans cousin?"

"…Yeah, why?"

"Well she cant play-no scratch that-she can barely walk. And you're so good you have scouts?"

"Yeah, I guess…"

"I'll let the coach know." I nodded and sat down on the bench next to some. She lifted her head up and looked over at me and smiled.

"Hi, I'm Shannon." She said sticking her hand out. It sounded like she had a speech impediment but I ignored it and shook her hand.

"Tali." I say smiling back. I looked over to everyone playing basket ball. "So why aren't you out there?" I say leaning down to pick up my pencil. I sit back up and look back at her. She was writing something down. "Hey?" I say calling her she still didn't answer. I tap her shoulder and she turns back around to me.

"Yeah?"

"Didn't you hear me?" I ask her

She laughs and shakes her head. "No, I'm deaf."

"Oh, well you could have told me that!" I laugh with her now

"Sorry thought it'd be funny." The bell rang and we both got up walking to the Cafeteria with Shannon.

"I have to go to the nurse first." I say looking at her she nods and walks to the nurses office. The nurse greeted Shannon and met me. She gave me a test and it was high just not that high. She told me to drink a juice or eat something sweet at lunch. I nodded and we walked to the caf.

"Diabetes huh?"

"Yup." We walked in and the first person I saw was Paul waving at me. "Please tell me you don't sit with him." I didn't speak I just moved my lips. She shook her head and pointed over to the table next to his. I nodded and followed her moving my glasses down. Less then half the day left. I can do this…I hope.

A/N: More on Tuesday I promise. I'm really sorry about last Tuesday but the whole thing with trying to comfort Chris took a huge toll on all of us. Chris bebe I'd like to dedicate this chap to you. Love you girlie H.B.S
