Where are you?

EPOV

As I got out of my Volvo, I looked around the parking lot, searching for that red truck. I had gotten here earlier then I intended. The parking lot was empty except for a few cars and my own. I stood at my car in silence as I patiently waited for her to arrive.

This was the first time since I arrived that I had silence. Alice and Emmett were going to take separate cars. They refused to come with me because it was so early.

I still couldn't get over her reaction the first day. I tried to tell myself that her actions weren't my fault. That it must be the class. Maybe she hates biology, or maybe it's the teacher. I sighed, knowing I was falsely assuring myself and I knew it.

"Hi." A high pitched voice scared me out of my thoughts. I turned to see Jessica standing next to me, wearing a pink tank top and shorts.

"Hi Jessica." I kept my watching at the school entrance as more cars were pulling it now.

"What's up?" She tried putting herself in my eye line.

"Nothing."

"Who are you looking for?" Why couldn't she just leave me alone?

"My brother and sister." I lied.

"Oh, why?" Noisy!

"I just need to talk to them."

"Oh, okay." That shut her up. She stood there watching her hands as I kept watching for her car.

It was annoying that she wasn't here. The parking lot was just about full car. I saw Emmett's silver jeep pull in. I decided to scan the parking lot just in case I missed her car.

"So what do you think?" Jessica asked with a big smile. I hadn't even heard what she asked.

"About what?" I asked as I watching a red van pull in.

"The dance." She said excited. I just looked at her, I had no clue what she was talking about. "Would you want to go?" She paused. "With me?" She smiled.

"Oh, um. No offense Jessica, you're pretty and everything but I'm not into dances, sorry." By the look on her face I think all she heard was "you're pretty."

"Oh, okay then." She said way to perky for someone who was just rejected. I think she figures she still has a chance. She turned around and ran across the parking lot, no doubt to go gossip with Lauren.

The bell rang and I sighed in disappointment. She wasn't here. I turned and walked to my first class.

During each class, I was thinking of where she could be. Maybe she was sick, or maybe something personal came up. I doubt, even if for some reason she did hate me, she would skip school just because of one person, because of me. The first four periods went way to fast. I went to lunch, hopeful that she was just late, and was here now. I walked to lunch with Mike Newton, who was getting on my nerves. He was still talking about this "best man" shit. He was telling me all the ways he planned on "wooing" Bella, as Mike put it. I gaged at the thought of most of them. He was thinking of her as a play toy he could use and abuse until he was bored. Sure, maybe I didn't really Bella that well, and there was a possibility that she was skipping school today because of me, but she deserved more respect then Mike and the other boys were giving her.

I walked into the cafeteria and my eyes immediately shot over to the table where she was sitting yesterday. It was empty.

"Dude, where is she?" Mike was following my gaze.

"I don't know."

"What was up with the two of you yesterday. She looked really pissed off. What did you say to her?" He laughed as he filled his tray with two pieces of pizza, a chocolate pudding, chips, and a cola. I took a turkey sandwich and water.

"I didn't say anything. That's the weird thing. I just introduced myself." Mike started laughing.

"Nice, she's a freak. You know what they say about freaking girls." He put his hand up for a fist bump. "Dude, come on, don't leave me hangin'." I sighed and bumped his fist as we sat down. Jessica, Lauren, and Taylor were already there.

"Hey Edward." Jessica said in her annoying voice. I nodded. I didn't feel like starting a conversation.

"So, it looks like the new girl isn't here today." Jessica pointed out in a snappy voice.

"Oh, really. I didn't notice." I lied. I had been looking for her all day. As everyone at my table continued to gossip, I ate in silence, wallowing my own sorrow.
On my way to biology, I still had a small amount of hope that maybe she would be there. My hopes were instantly crushed when I walked into a full biology class with only two empty seats in the back of the room.

* * * * *

It had been a full week and Bella still hadn't come back. The rumors were flying around the school.

Rumor 1: Bella ran away

Rumor 2: Bella was kidnapped

Rumor 3: She was pregnant

Rumor 4: She was accepted into college

And my personal favorite, started by the goths of the school: Bella was a "Demon on the Night" hiding from the world after failing to peacefully live with humans.

Some people watch why to much television. But of course I knew the real reason she wasn't here, me. I wasn't sure why, but I knew it was because of me.

It had been tens days since Bella had been missing, and I ultimately gave up looking for her.

I pulled my Volvo into my usual parking space and started my usual day. Calculus, English, Gym, History, lunch with Mike, Jessica, Lauren, Taylor, Ben, Eric, and Angela. I still didn't know why I hung out with them. All they did was gossip, expect for Angela. She was quiet and didn't concern herself with who was dating who. I liked her. She was easy to talk to and she had meaningful conversations.

I walked to biology with Mike who was complaining how his "best man" plans were ruined because Bella skipped out of town. I walked into biology to my empty seat. I took out my binder and started writing lyrics for a song that came into my head.

I know you are out there baby...somewhere

There's someone out there for me know there's somebody out there

I know she's waiting so patiently, can you tell me her name? Somebody tell me her name

This life-long search is gonna drive me insane

How does she laugh? How does she cry? What's the color of her eyes?

Does she even realize I'm here?

Where is she? Where is she? Where is she? Where is this beautiful girl?

Who is she? Who is she? Who's gonna complete my world?

Where is she? Where is she? Where is this beautiful girl?

Who is she? Who is she? Who's gonna complete my world?

where are you?

There's someone out there for me

I know she's waiting so patiently

Can you tell me her name

This life-long search is gonna drive me insane

Where is she? Where is she? Where is she? Where is this beautiful girl?

Who is she? Who is she? Who's gonna complete my world?

Where are you?? I'm to look all over the world baby

'cause I know you are out there

I know I might sound crazy, but I think I love you

"That's beautiful." A angelic voice sung. My head shot up. The seat next to me was no longer empty, but filled by the very girl who had inspired this song. Bella Swan.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. I saw you writing and I was curious. I hope you don't mind." She smiled gently.

"No, not at all." I smiled back.

"Hi, I'm Bella. Edward right?" She smiled again. Her smile was soft. The corners of her gloss covered lips turned upwards into a cute grin.

"Yeah." I couldn't help but smile at the cute grin.

"Okay class, today we will be labeling the five phases of meosis. You each have a microscope, five slides, and a worksheet. You can begin." The class was filled with the sounds with glass and metal clinking together.

"Ladies first." I offered. She sat there, stiff, like the first day, even though she was still smiling. I could tell there was still something bothering her. "Or not." I reached for the microscope, not knowing she was as well, and my hand landed on the base of the microscope and her's landed on top of mine.

Her hand was ice cold. I felt an electric shock run up my arm and race through my veins, tingling my entire body.

"Sorry." She mumbled as she pulled the microscope in front of her and put her eye to the lens.

"Anaphase." I was caught off guard at how quickly she answered that. She had looked at it no more then ten seconds, at the most.

"Mind if I check." There was no way she could be write, she must be guessing.

She pushed the microscope across the plastic black table to me. I placed my eye on the lens and examined the slide. To my surprise, she was right, anaphase.

"Anaphase." I agreed. She smiled that cute grin.

"Told ya." She smirked.

"Have you done this lab before or are you just really smart?" I teased. She laughed.

"Both." I laughed as I wrote "anaphase" on the worksheet.

"I've already done this lab too."

"Ah, so you're really smart to?" I nodded. "While I remember the slides. Slide 2 is Telephase, Slide 3 is Prophase, Slide 4 is Metaphase, and Slide 5 is Interphase.

"So really smart and a photographic memory?" I teased her again, but she didn't answer, she just let out a small giggle.

"So where were you? If you don't mind me asking."

"Oh, I went up to Alaska, to visit some friends, there was a personal issue."

"Oh, I hope it was nothing to serious."

"It wasn't as bad as I thought. It's under control now." She laughed. I guess I was missing the joke.

"That's good." I said and I wrote down all the answers to the lab.

"So, why did you move to Forks? I mean, I heard you lived in Manhattan." She was asking about my life. She wanted to know me. Maybe she didn't hate me like I thought she did.

"Yeah, I did." I sighed thinking back to the fast past, towering city I missed so much.

"So why did you move?"

"My mom, Esme, she didn't like the big city. And my dad would do anything to make her happy. She's always wanted to live in a small town and Washington, and some how she managed to find Fork."

"You call you're mom by her first name?" She laughed.

"Well, she's not really my mom, I mean, she is, but she's my adoptive mother. She and Carlisle adopted Alice, Emmett, and me."

"Oh. What happened to you're real parents? If you don't mind me asking."

"They were killed in a car crash a few years ago." It didn't bother me to talk about it, but I knew the awkward silence and pointless apologies to come.

"Ah." I was surprised by her response. "Well, I know how you feel. Renee and Charlie adopted me too."

"Oh really?" That was strange that both of us were adopted. I had never met anyone else that was adopted.

"Yeah, my parents died," She smirked. "A long time ago." I didn't really understand why she was smiling, but I wasn't going to ask.

"So why did you move to Forks?" I smirked.

"Renee, Charlie, and I just wander around looking for new places to move to. We were passing through when we came across Forks. We decided why not, this could be fun."

"And has it?"

"Well, I haven't been here long enough yet to say." She smiled at me. For some reason, that smiled caused a reaction in me. My blood seemed to be pounding in my veins and my heart felt like to was going to explode from my chest. My breathing execrated, even though I felt breathless.

I heard her suppress a laugh in the form of a cough.
