Dis: I don't own twilight or characters. :(

Epov:

Waiting for Bella, got my insides going crazy. I waited until the bell ran and looked for her in lunch. Her sister and brothers were here so did that mean she was sick? Should go buy her chicken soup and drop it off? I hoped she would show for fifth, but she didn't. For the first time, I felt nervous about a girl. The last time was in 6th grade and it was a crush on this girl who was 2 years older than me.

"Hey Edward!" Mike shouted from across the parking lot, I opened my door and nodded back, "Hang out with us!"I shook my head and got in my car. I let the engine run for a bit before driving away. Getting home I noticed my dad's cruiser wasn't parked and figured he went with Lauren to Monica's house. She wasn't allowed to walk there alone. I opened my door and slammed it shut before running up the stairs and into my room to begin the stupid homework.

A couple of hours later I heard the door open and slam close. Laughter from my dads part echoed up to me and Laurens giggle. I smiled but my eyes felt so damn heavy I let sleep take over.

I opened my eyes and saw that I was in a room. Not my room, but someone's room. There was pictures of a little girl and then Bella came in. She walked past me and into a closet. She reemerged with sweat pants and underwear. She threw them at me and shouted to change. I did what I was told.

"Sleep. Eddie love." She whispered.

She climbed on top of the little bed and patted the spot next to her. I lied down and she pulled me over to her so my face was on her chest and she was combing her fingers through my hair.

"If only I can dream." She sighed.

"You can't?" I asked, my voice muffled.

She pushed me away a little so she can see my face. Shaking her head she kissed my cheek, "But if I did, it would be about you."

"Really?" I grinned.

My heart was thumping fast and I felt excited, "I dream about you."

All of a sudden I was on the floor naked. I heard a devil laugh and saw Bella pointing at me, "I was kidding! You pathetic fool!" she cackled some more before kneeling down in front of me. She touched my neck and licked her lips, "You're pathetic Edward. No girl would want you. NOT even as a friend."

"Why?" I whispered.

"Look at yourself."

My eyes snapped open thanks to the stupid garbage man. The dream was still haunting me even when I got to school. A part of me wanted to wait for Bella. But the part that was still really involved with the dream wanted to run away from her. I went into my first not caring how things went and decided to just go with the flow …..

()()

Apparently the flow wanted me to go outside and see Bella. She was alone on the bench outside the school and was staring at her lunch. I couldn't resist and went to her.

"Where were you yesterday?"

She looked up from her sandwich and noticed how her eyes were getting darker, "Um, not here?"

Smart ass

"No really?" I replied sarcastically, "Why weren't you here?" I saw that she moved and so I can sit and I did quickly, "Home. I had a visitor." She said nonchalant.

"Oh." Well that seems like a good reason. But then why would her brothers and sister be here? Was she lying? She did lie in my dream… or nightmare.

Oh god it was only a stupid nightmare. Nothing to do with her in real life.

"Yeah… Why? Did you miss me?" She grinned and leaned her shoulder into mine. Feeling my cheeks go red was extremely embarrassing and I just wanted to get up and leave. But my body wouldn't move and my mouth did, "No! no, it's just …. I was curious… yeah."

She laughed and it did wonders to my stomach such as, making it twirl and knotting itself. Don't girls only get that feeling?

Oh god.

"Okay well you got my answer, you can leave now." She continued to stare at me like she was expecting me to obey and run. My body was rebelling, my head nodded though. Improvement? She got up a little too quickly and threw her trash away that was next to the schools entrance. My body began to move on its own accord and it was annoying me. She turned back around and ran straight to me.

I think I got bruised. She was freaking hard as a rock.

"What!" She snarled at me. I stared at her eyes as they got darker and intimidating. I think she's bipolar.

"I…" think of something stupid! "uh…. Ah…"

"Can I see your phone?"

I gave it to her, but why in jesus name would she want to see my phone? She did say that she didn't have a phone. So why? Unless…

"When you know what you're going to say, text or call me." I watched and as she turned and went inside, without a glance back. Looking down at the phone I unlocked it and with wide eyes I saw her name Bella (Bff) on my new contacts list.

What in …

I ran inside and got pushed aside by one of Bells brothers, Jasper. I watched him jog to the woods before running inside. I rounded the corner and saw Bella right in front of the class. She was leaned over, so quietly and quickly I tried to enter the class wanting to be there before her when she turned around an rammed into me.

"For freaks sake!"She shouted and looked up at me, her eyes widened and something sparked inside, "You idiot!" she spat, "make noise when you walk! Why are you following me! Do I have something on my but? Teeth? WHAT?"

"I have biology too. We're partners." I basically whispered.

So much for standing up for myself to a girl. I'm such a wimp, but I should just get surgery and remove my man parts and put in girl ones.

I barely heard her sorry when she hurried past me.

This girl … really did have problems. I mean, maybe it would be healthy if we weren't friends. My mind could get saved from being screwed like how she's doing it.

I walked to class and waved at Mike who was making a phone gesture at me. I nodded and went to my seat. Seeing Bella stiff and she holding on to her book a little too hard made me slow my movements and be cautious. The bell ran and class started. I tried to pay attention to class, really did try, but when I have a nut case who steal cars and then pays them, switches moods in a second and yells out a lot, my attention stares drifting to her. She was writing down something. Probably notes. Something I should be doing.

A kick made me look at her and then down in front of me, there was a note. On it she apologized. She already apologized outside the class, so it was a waste of paper. I wrote back telling her it was fine and that she will no longer be bothered by me, but secretly it's me not being bothered by her.

No. I mean I you want to it's cool, but I was already upset when I bumped into you. I took it out on you and I really didn't mean to.

I couldn't stop reading that line. So she didn't snap at me for the hell of it. Someone caused her to go all crazy. I felt bad and I felt my whole judgment of her drop on to my shoulders. There was a reason for everything right? So then there was a reason for her to be so … frustrating. I wanted to know her really know her. I wrote down the last words, be friends, and threw the note at her.

She bumped my shoulder and I looked at her. I smiled and she winked.

She was cute.

I smiled hoping that we can be good friends and she could actually act nice around me. Not on the edge all the time.

"Exactly!" she laughed.

I laughed along with her, but not because of her 'excuse' of being absent yesterday, but on how nice her laugh was. She was funny and a smart ass. I liked it.

"You gave me your number." I stated after our laughter died down.

"Yeah I did. Why would you think I was being bothered by you!" she laughed punching arm. I flexed involuntarily.

"How you were acting in lunch." I shrugged, "and when you snapped, I guess, I just had a feeling."

She snorted unlady like and ignored the looks girls were throwing at her, "Well your feeling detector sucks… I just snapped at the wrong person is all." She opened car door and leaned against it.

"So, is this really your number?"

"No. It's for that alien group AA meeting."

I laughed and wanted to save her lame excuse in memory forever. I waved and jogged to my car, getting in fast and driving off, yup I think this friendship will be good.

I kept on playing with the phone wondering what would she say if I text her now. So I did.

Bella(Bff): Who the hell is this?

Chuckling I remembered that I didn't give her my number. I texted back and less than a minute later she responded that it's never too soon. I parked my car in the driveway and noticed shouting going on inside.

Entering the house, I didn't realize that I entered a war.

Charlie was screaming at Lauren and Lauren was screaming and crying at Charlie, but their voices were somewhat muffled. They were upstairs. Quickly I ran up and walked into Laurens room.

Lauren was pressed against the wall crying and screaming and dad was in her closet.

"What's going on?" I asked.

Lauren ran to me and pressed her face on my stomach while Charlie came out red faced.

"I'm sending Lauren away."

I looked down at her and she was looking at me with red pleading eyes.

"Why?" I whispered.

"This is why." I looked up to see Charlie holding a pack of cigarettes and a razor. I grabbed Laurens arm and noticed her cuts. Her arms full of them some fresh some old …

My head began spinning and the last thing I remember was Charlie calling out to me and Lauren screaming.
