When we got to Bella's house she walked in and sat on the couch. I went and sat next to her, taking her hand in mine. "What happened, Love?" I asked, "Who is he?"

She took a deep breath, "Well, obviously you know his name is James," she said, I nodded, "It was last year and me, Emmett, Jasper, Rose, and Alice had gone to a club. There was a bunch of people there, and, like always, guys kept trying to dance with me. I dance with one or two of them, just to make Alice happy, but then James came up and wanted to dance. I said no thank you, but he kept being persisted. Then Emmett and Jasper came up and told him to back off. He said no, so we left before anyone could get hurt."

She stopped for a minute, "Is that it?" I asked, "He's mad because you wouldn't dance with him?"

She shook her head, "No," she said, "There's more…. For the next week or so everything was okay, and we had forgotten all about it. Then I started to realize stuff. Like I kept seeing the same car pass our house. So I told Emmett and he freaked out, he ended up staying here for a while. The day he was leaving I saw the car, it was parked right across the street. I told Emmett and he went and banged on the window of the car. When the guy stepped out, it was James.

"We told him to stay away and he said that he wouldn't until he got what he wanted. I never saw him after that, I thought he finally gave up, but I guess I was wrong. He's been stalking me, I'm what he wants."

I reached out and wiped away one of her tears, "Did you go to the cops?" I asked.

"Yes, but we had no proof of him stalking me," she said. Tears started to poor down her face. I pulled her to me and carried her to her room. I laid her down in bed and laid beside her.

"Edward," she said, snuggling closing to me.

"Hum," I murmured.

"I'm scared," she whispered.

I kissed her head, "I know," I whispered, "But everything will work out I promise."

…..

Later on while I was teaching a lesson the phone went off in the classroom. "Practice the song while I get this," I said.

I picked up the phone, "Mr. Cullen," I said.

"Edward!" Alice said on the other end.

"Alice?" I asked, "What have I told you about calling my classroom phone?"

"Well, I called your cell phone and you didn't answer," she said.

"Well. Yeah. I'm working," I said.

"This is important," she said. Now I realized that something sounded off, something was wrong, she was crying.

"Alice, what is it?" I asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's Bella," she chocked out in a whisper.

My whole world froze, "What about Bella?!" I asked, I saw the heads of several students pop up.

"She was in an accident," she said, "James," she stopped to catch her breath, "James ran her off the road while she was on her way back from lunch, any other driver saw the whole thing."

"Is she okay?!" I demanded.

She cried harder, "She's in the hospital, Edward," she cried, "He put her in a coma."
