It was two months after I had gotten in the hospital and Jacob was gone..... Truthfully, I never told anyone this but... I was shocked and so surprised. The man that had hurt me so much. The person I thought couldn't be hurt. Killed. Just like that.

I drove up to the school in my precious truck. I loved the thing. Charlie had gotten it for me the day I entered Forks for my Freshman year. I rolled my eyes as everyone gaped at the girl, who yes, had been out of school for two months because her "crazy ex decided to kidnap her and try to kill her". Greeaatt. I rolled my eyes again as Emmett decided to run up to me and bounce up and down.

"Bella!!!" he squealed like a little girl. He picked me up and I glared at the slight pain. "Oww. Ribs.... still hurt... Not... healed yet...." he put me down quickly and laughed nervously as Edward came up to us and noticed me clutching my stomach, where the bandages were.

"Emmett....." he warned. "What did you do to Bella. I know for a fact that she wasn't in pain a little while ago because I was texting her. Now what did you do?" Emmett took a step back in fear.

"I....Kinda...Picked.... Her..... Up....." Emmett's voice was in a whisper by the time he finished and Edward was pissed off.

"EMMETT!!!!" he yelled. He clutched my waist protectively and I smiled slightly at the notion. "Say you're sorry."

"I'm sorry Bella. Really I am," his voice was like an injured puppy. "Aww! It's okay Em!" I reassured him. He smiled at me happily. "Thanks Bells." he ruffled my hair and we walked to class. Everyone staring at us, Edward glaring them all away.

When we got to our lockers, I stood on my toes and kissed his cheek. "It's o.k. Edward. You can go. I can handle everyone on my own and you need to get your stuff out of your locker before class starts," I rolled my eyes at the look he gave me. "Besides, you can keep an eye on me during class!" he gave up and walked away looking sad. I sighed and rolled my eyes again, realizing how much I'd done that today before getting my stuff from my locker and walking towards the class.

Mike stood in front of me and I glared at him. God I hated this boy. "Ugh. What do you want Newton?" I used his last name to piss him off.

"So Bella," he tried to purr out huskily. I cringed and shuddered. Eww! His breath!!! "Welcome back.... Do you need any help getting to class?"

I shuddered again. "Thanks....But no thanks!" I said shivering and attempting to get away from him. His arm blocked my path. "Eww! What do you want Mike!?" I practically screamed out.

"I want you, " he whispered in my ear. He slapped my ass and walked away. I eep-ed loudly and ran to class shuddering and trying to forget what the hell had just happened in the hall.

I walked in late and Mr. Vanders smiled at me.... What the hell?! "Welcome back Ms. Swan," his voice was cheery and I suddenly felt as though hell had frozen over. I basically ran to my seat and whispered to Alice hurriedly. "Why the hell is he so happy?!"

She smirked at me. "Looks like Mr. Vanders is gonna be a father. He spent the whole class yesterday telling us about it." I raised an eyebrow at that. "Weird....." I trailed off as I saw Edward looking at me from the other side of the room. It was obvious. His seat faces away from me so he was turned around and tried to hide it by talking to Jasper.

I snorted in laughter and stuck my tongue out at him and fake grabbed my ribs in pain. His face was instantly worried and I held my hands up in laughter. He scowled at me and that's when Alice looked. We both burst out in silent giggles.

The trouble didn't start until second period. Gym. I was instructed no sports or any activities which involved a lot of movement and for that I was happy. So I sat on the stage of the gym while everyone else played dodgeball. (a.n.: I love my gym teacher because in the winter time he lets us play dodgeball! So I thought, It's December, might as well do as I do in school. =])

Mike sat down next to me and I instantly got worried. "Get the hell away from me Newton." he scowled and I scooted back. He inched towards me and I jumped up and ran to the edge of the stage.

"Come on Bella, you know you want me," he taunted. I screeched with frustration and stomped my foot. "No Newton. I. Do. Not. Want. You!!!" I glared again and this time I jumped off the stage and ran to the teacher, Mike close behind.

He looked away from the groups playing the game to pay attention to me. "What is it you need Ms. Swan?"

"I need to get this," I pointed at Mike. "Away from me," I ground out. "He keeps.... touching." I shuddered and the teacher raised his eyebrows and looked at him. "Is this true Mr. Newton?"

He nodded his head yes slowly and I smirked at him. Edward came up to us. "Is everything all right?" he directed the question at me and I took a lot of relish out of the fact that Mike paled. " Why yes Edward," I purred out. "Mike keeps touching me," I shuddered for effect. "In fact, it brings up bad memories of two months ago," I said in the most innocent voice I could manage. "It scares me."

That apparently was the last straw for poor little Edward. He lunged towards Mike and they started fighting all out on the gym floor. Emmett and Jasper came over and pulled Edward away from Mike. "Boys!" The gym teacher yelled out.

They all jumped, and looked at her sheepishly. "Newton, principal!" Mike jumped again and ran out the doors. "Now for you three....." he looked as if he were contemplating a punishment. I gulped, afraid for them. "Great job!" he suddenly said, surprising us all.

He patted me on the arm. "If it happens again, just come to me Bella," he winked. "We all know your boys can handle it just fine though." my eyes widened. "Yes sir."

"Okay, that was officially the FREAKIEST day of school I've ever had to go through!" I exclaimed to Alice and Rosalie. Plopping down on my bed and sighing heavily.

They both nodded. "So," Rosalie implored curiously. "What have you and Edward been up to?" I blushed bright red. "What?!"

She smirked and looked more intensely at me. "You heard me. Come on, sure you're injured and all that but it don't stop anyone from anything," she winked and I cringed back. "Rosalie, please don't."

"I will after you answer the question Bella," she said, that damn smirk still on her face. "Gah! Fine!" I blushed more. "We haven't even kissed on the lips yet. Happy?"

Rose and Alice looked at me like I was crazy. "You're kidding!?" I shook my head no. "Omg.....That's like a sin!" I raised my eyebrow. "Rose. I've been in the hospital with injuries. It's no surprise we haven't kissed yet."

Alice pouted. "There's always the winter dance...." she looked at me hopefully.

"Oh no you don't! No more dances! None!" I shook my head back and forth furiously. "I hated that!" I pouted. "Stupid high school kids. Drinking and spiking punch that shouldn't be spiked," I muttered to myself.

Alice laughed. "Fine. No more dances," I cheered up instantly. She laughed some more before sighing to herself. I looked at her quickly.

"Alice what's wrong?" I patted her back. She looked at me sadly. "It's just that I was thinking about next year... how they're all gonna be gone.... And even you Rose. It's just gonna be me and Bella and I'm gonna hate that. You're all going to college..." I realized what she had just said.

Me and Rose looked at her sadly. It wasn't often Alice was sad. And when she was it was for a good reason. I looked at Rose. "We need the guys. More importantly, we need Jasper." she nodded and we both quickly called them, telling them it was an Alice breakdown. They promised to be right over.

"Come on Alice. The guys are going to be here soon," I said to her softly. "Don't you want to make them some sweets like we did last time?" she shook her head. "Oh come on, you know Jasper really liked that." this fueled the fire. "I bet Jasper would be really happy if he got some more." she sighed and walked to the kitchen downstairs.

Me and Rose followed silently. We were all really bummed out. Once we got down there we saw Alice with several boxes of brownies, cupcakes, and cookies. We laughed at the expression on her face.

She was trying her hardest to mix the batter and her eyes were squeezed shut and her tongue sticking out. She glared at us and we stopped laughing and started stirring the other bowls.

Suddenly we all felt arms go around our waists and we jumped up, making the bowls crash down over everyone. I gasped at how messy my kitchen was going to be. "Edward!" I screamed, mad at him. He turned me around into his chest and hugged me tightly.

I slowly relaxed into his embrace before hitting his chest lightly. "Meanie!" I stuck my tongue out at him. "Those were for you, you realize that?" he shrugged his shoulders. "I don't care. I prefer you anyway," he licked away a speck of brownie mix from my cheek and I blushed bright red.

"Aww!" Alice coo-ed. "See? This is the reason why I don't want you guys to leave!" she collapsed to the ground crying and I shrugged off Edward's hug to reach her. I wrapped my arms around her and felt Rosalie wrap her arms around me and Alice. "It's okay sweetie," I smoothed her messed up pixie cut and she relaxed slightly still crying.

Jasper whispered in my ear. "Let me handle this. Why don't you go have some alone time with Edward and the same with Rosalie." I let go off Alice and let Jasper take over, holding the girl with love.

I pulled Edward out of the kitchen and to my room. He sat on the bed and I sat down next to him. I sighed heavily. "What's wrong with you Bella?" he asked me, his head tilting just a little to the right.

I sighed again and looked at his face. "Edward,...you're going off to college next year aren't you?" he looked at me with surprise. "You're sad about the same thing Alice is?"

I nodded shyly. "Bella," he said softly. "I'm not even going to college for another year," he told me laughing. I looked at him confused. "What?"

He sighed heavily. "Bella, I'm waiting a year until I go to college. I'm going to get a job, save up some money, and then I'm off to California to go to San Diego State." my eyes widened. "Cal....California!?" he nodded slowly.

My eyes widened. "Hey can I ask you a question Edward?" he nodded. "Do you think... Do you think that we'll still be together.... You know, when you're in college?" I ducked my head down again and blushed brightly.

He lifted my head up and spoke. "Bella, I want to stay with you forever....That's why I want to do this," and he leaned closer and pressed his lips against mine. I returned the kiss and found that our lips molded together perfectly. We pulled apart to breathe and we leaned our foreheads together. "I love you Isabella Swan." he whispered. "And I love you too Edward Cullen." I kissed his nose before pulling away.

Kandierain751: A cute ending to the chapter no? yeah, this has a sad with happy on the surface kinda feel. See, what fueled this is me and my friends. Me, my friend Nici and some other kids were put in a class with kids a year older. Except, we didn't meet "our Rosalie" until later in the year. =] So, When we made friends with a bunch of the kids that were graduating, we got really depressed this may when they had to leave. And ya, that's mah favorite college. GO SAN DIEGO STATE!!! Review peoples. It makes me very very happy face.
