Jaspers POV

Right now we were on are way to school, Edward was speeding down the road as usual. Alice and I road with him in his Volvo while Emmett and Rose went in her BMW which was also speeding behind us. No one was saying anything, at all. When we left Bella was still asleep, Esme was making her breakfast and Carlisle was going to work.

The mood in the car, and the house, was tense. I tried my best to keep everyone calm but i was also feeling that tension to it was becoming increasingly hard.

As we entered the parking lot everyone was laughing, yelling, and staring at us. Edward parked then Rose parked next to him. we all got out in silence and grace, most of the parking lot had stopped. I cringed at there conversations with one another, then wondered how Edward could stand there thoughts.

"It's not without challenge, Jasper" Edward answered having heard my question in my mind. I sent him small sad smile which he returned.

"Ok guys, here's the plan. We need to be are normal, happy, self's. If not, we might lose everything." We all silently agreed nodding our heads. "Emmett, Rose, well see you at lunch. Jasper, Edward, time for English." We all nodded again. Rose flipped her hair putting on a conceded look on her face, Emmett looked tough, Alice looked perky, and Edward and I looked emotionless.

We walked in the class and took are seats, leaving Bella's open. We all looked at it, but we said nothing. The class soon started to file in, they all were smiling and talking. The two girls that were making fun of Bella on the first day glanced at Bella's seat.

"Hey guys look, little Bella's seats still empty." The blond one sneered.

"Hey, you with to much make-up." Alice said pointing to the girl who had just spoke.

"My name is Lauren." She replied hatefully.

"What do mean, 'Bella's seats still empty?" She asked her confused. I'll admit it, Alice was good.

"Bella ran away, I think she finally did as all a favor and killed herself." Lauren told her with a smile. A girl came up behind her, also smiling.

"It's not like we'd miss her." They both laughed, I guess it was time top play my part.

"When did she go missing? Are they trying to find her? Does anyone know what happened?" I asked her with worry and urgency in my voice. The both looked at me like i had two heads.

"Whats it to you guys anyway!?" Lauren squealed at us angrily. "She was nothing! No one of importance! Why do you care about her!?"

"Because she was are friend!" Alice yelled back.

"Your friends with that slut! But not with me! Whats wrong with you two!?" She continued throwing a fit, flopping her arms around. I was about to say something before Edward cut me off.

"She was not a slut! How dare you call her that! Don't you ever talk about her like that again! And don't you ever talk to my family like that again either! Why don't you just go sit down before I let Alice ruin the nose your daddy paid for!" He smashed his hands on the table standing up with force sending his chair frying back then sneered at both of them before fear encased there bodies and they ran back to there seats.

He turned and saw our shocked faces. "Sorry." He whispered so quiet I could barley even hear him.

The teacher soon came in and called everyone to take there seats. "Jasper, Alice, Edward may I ask why you've been absent for the past 2 days?" Mr. Gringo asked us.

"Oh! I'm sorry, we have are notes, you see it was a family emergency." Alice said first. All three of us rose and walked to the front, non of us said anything. Guys were watching as Alice walked by with lust running off of them. I growled harshly in my mind causing Edward to chuckle and break out in to a small smile. I looked over at him and also chuckled with a small smile. Alice gave us the craziest look ever, basically asking what in the heck we were laughing at.

As soon as Edward looked at Alice he laughed harder, as did I. The whole class has turned around looking at all 3 of us. That's when Alice joined our round of laughter. I could feel all of our emotions, the raw emotion we where putting in to that laugh. I guess this was our way of releasing it.

The door opened and a man walked in with short brown hair. A build that scream strong and take out, and rage that could infuriate a room of calm people.

"Ah, Chief Swan, what can I do for you?" The teacher asked the man. Not one us a made a sound.


Alice POV

I didn't know why in the heck they laughed, I mean, I know I said to act normal. I guess I didn't think they would. I shot them a 'what the heck is so funny' look and they erupted in laughter. I looked to the class and saw all eyes on us, I don't know why, but I joined there laughter.

Then the door opened and a man with grungy clothing, an unshaven face, and messy hair walked in.

"Ah, Chief Swan, what can I do for you?" The teacher asked the man. Not one of us were still laughing.

"Well, I came to talk to Mr. Hale and Ms. Cullen, if that's OK with you?" His voice completely formal. If my daughter was missing I would be devastated. Though I also wouldn't have beat the life out of her either.

"Of course, would you also like Mr. Cullen?" Mr. Gringo asked.

"That would be great. Thank you." We all stood up picking up looking at each other with a confused looked.

We followed him to the Commons then he turned to all of us giving a hard cold stare.

"Where's Bella?" He demanded.

"Sir I don't know. But we'll help find her. I mean she couldn't have gotten far right? How long has she been missing?" I brought tears to my eye's as I spoke.

"She missed school on Thursday, as did all of you!" He eyed us suspiciously.

"Well sir, that's not true, entirely. Alice and I went home early, at lunch be be exact. Everyone else finished their day." Jasper told him, his was grieving.

"Why did you go home?" The dirt bag probed more.

"Our mother was very ill sir." Edward jumper in to take the lead this time. "We were unaware of the disappearance of Ms. Swan until today. Now I'm sorry for your trying time, but I would very much like if you would stop interrogating my family. We have class to attend. I hope your daughter is returned safly Mr. Swan." Then he turned to leave, of course we followed him. But not before i saw Mr. Swans reaction. It was complete rage and shock.

While making it back to the class Jasper sent some calming waves to Edward, who seemed to be relaxing. I knew this day was going to be tough... but I'm staring to wonder how tough it would be.


Edward POV

I've lost it too much today... Twice, just because someone talked bad about Bella, or thought in Chief Swans case. I hated him for what he did to her. Then his thoughts, saying how she was going to get it, also how cute Alice was. That sent me over the edge, he kept thinking about we must have something to do with this, then when Alice had her little fake freak out he though how little and cute she was. I wanted to rip his head from his body. I'm sorry but, I still do.

I was now sitting in 4th, I had Spanish. A class that again, all 4 of us shared, though since Bella wasn't here it was only Jasper, Alice and myself. It was almost over, which I was glad for. The thoughts of those around us were having there affects on me. They seemed to consist of my family and myself in some very... bad situations. Of course these thoughts also had us adoring over the student that was thinking it.

I wanted this to be over, I wanted to be with Bella. When the teacher told us to work quietly I put my books in my lap and quickly got out my phone. Maybe sitting in the back was a good thing.

The first message I sent was to Esme, Then I sent one to the phone I had laid on Bella's night stand before I left.

Hello Esme, how is Bella?
Is she eating?
How is she feeling?
Is she asleep?
Is anything wrong?
Edward

I was aware that I sounded like a love sick, lost puppy. But i didn't care, mainly because I was...

Bella, It's Edward.
School is so boring so I thought I would text you.
How are you?
Are your feeling ok?
Would you like us to come home?
We will if you need us too.

As I sent it I mentally slapped myself, that sounded like some creepy stalker! Great, just great...

Edward, there's no need to check up on me.
I know you miss Bella, but she is fine.
I've been giving her food all day.
She woke up shortly after you kids left for school.

I didn't respond, I just waited for Bella's reply. As soon as the bell rang I put my phone away and felt a ping of sadness. She didn't text back... I went to lunch and helped Alice and Jasper fill in the blanks to Rose and Emmett about this morning.


Bella POV

I woke up noticing a blanket had been pulled over me. I went to sit up and pain shot throw my chest. Oh, that did not feel nice. I wonder if Carlisle has that big painful needle? Now I'm asking for a big painful needle, what the heck!?

"Ugh!" I exclaimed as I finished rolling out of the bed. My bed? I liked that, but was it true? This thing is so confusing right now.

As I finally stood up and stayed there waiting for the pain to stop. Finally I walked down the stairs seeing no one.

"Um... Edward?" Wait? Why was that the first name I call out? Maybe because he was possibly the most gorgeous guy I've ever met, completely nice, and I was pretty much in love with him.

"He's at school sweaty, I'm the only one home." Esme said suddenly standing in front of me. I wasn't surprised or even startled by her sudden appearance in-front of me.

"It's fine, I just, wanted to know it someone was here." I said slightly confused and embarrassed.

"Well, I'll be here the whole day, and are you feeling ok?" She asked her voice full concern.

"Well, my ribs hurt, I'm full of confusing, I'm happier than I've ever been and to top it all off I'm hopelessly in love with someone who one doesn't love me back and two I didn't even know. So all together I'm perfect." I said sarcastically. It took a whole two seconds to find out what i had said. I told Edwards mother, I was in love with him! "Esme! I'm sorry, I- No- I'm- Please! I'm so sorry! Please don't say anything, and please! Don't be mad!" Tears welled up in my eyes. I wasn't sure she would be mad, or upset, or anything.

Suddenly arms wrapped around me. "Bella! This is... GREAT!" She half screamed excitedly at me.

I was more than a little confused threw the rest of the day, but it wasn't bad. Esme made me enough food to cover the whole entire table, and it was more than good, it was great.

We talked and watched movies, she even gave me another horrible shot of morphine, but at least my chest stopped hurting, you know for now.

Right now I was laying on my bed. This was my room, and my family.

School was only in about 4th period and I really did miss everyone. I heard a twinkling laugh coming in to my room and I looked over to see Esme texting someone on a phone, I wondered who she was texting but didn't find it in me to ask.

"I think you'll be getting one now." She said picking up a silver phone from my table that I hadn't noticed before. She looked at me then finished her text. "I made some lunch down stairs if you want any. Is there anything you want to- Buzz Buzz Buzz- never mind, I think you have a message to reply to." Then she smiled and walked back out the door. I flipped open the little silver phone and opened a message to a number I didn't know.

Bella, It's Edward.
School is so bored so i thought i would text you.
How are you?
Are your feeling ok?
Would you like us to come home?
We will if you need us too.

I smiled knowing Edward texted me, but then again, it was only because he was bored. I didn't want to get him in trouble so I didn't want to text back. Though I mean, would he be mad?

I sat there debating on whether or not to text him back, then when I decided to text him back I didn't know what to say. So I put the first thing that went down.

Hi Edward.
Sorry about school being all boring.
I'm completly fine.
I'm feeling ok.
I want you to come home, yes.
But you need to stay at school, I
can't have you missing everday,
can I?
So ... how is everyone?

I slipped the phone in to my pocket and sat up as easily as possible. I made me way out the door when Edward texted back, gosh, he was fast!

Well I have been a few 20 or 30 times.
So I'm sure I could miss a day... Or a year
Everyone is fine. I'm in bio right now.
You know, we're lab partners.
Kinda.
How has you day been?

I finished walking down stairs and slowly sat next to Esme.

"Hey, Esme?" I inquired to her.

"Yes dear?" She looked completely at me. Her golden eyes locked to mine.

"I can't stay here for forever, someone will eventually look here. So whats going to happen? Were will I go?" I asked inocently enough. I didn't want to get attached to people I can't stay with.

"Your right. Completely right. How about when everyone gets home, we talk about this?" She asked this one little thing of me, how could I refuse.

"Of course, thank you." I hugged her lightly then made my way to eat another cookie. Esme may think that the smell of human food is repulsive, but she still cooks better then anyone I've ever met.

Time to wait I guess.
