Jrfan81- here's the chapter.

Brunette Girl – and if you want to kill us by the middle of the chapter…. PLEASE keep reading till the end.

Jrfan81 – yeah please keep reading… We'd be sad if you just stopped. :(

When I woke up the next morning, I could tell it was going to be a bad day. I felt like hell, my head all stuffed up from being in the rain, and then remembering my truck was still in the school parking lot didn't make me feel better. I groaned, sitting up staring out the window. Great, it was raining even harder than it was yesterday! I got ready quickly, knowing it would take longer to get to school than usual, rushing to get to school.

As I locked the door, I heard a quiet purring of an engine. I turned around; saw who it was, and walked right passed his car.

"Hello, Bella," Edward said rolling his automatic window down. "When Alice and I got into the parking lot, we saw your truck sitting there. I could not find you inside the school, so I came here to see if you wanted a ride."

"No thank you, Edward." I said, really hating myself right now. As I walked down the sidewalks of Forks towards the school he pulled up beside me.

"Bella, I really think you should just get in my car." He said. "It would make me feel better." I snorted.

"I don't really care about how you're feeling, Edward. Now can I walk in peace?" I asked.

"Well, if you want me to go away, that is not going to happen. I wan to make sure you make it school on time and safely." He told me, and then I tried to ignore him. I sighed; ignoring him would not be easy, especially feeling as crappy as I did right now. "Please get in the car Bella."

"Fine but only cause I don't want to walk in the rain," I said and walked over to his car and I climbed in. I didn't want to ride with him but I knew my body would thank me for it later. "So what happened to your truck?" Edward asked and I shrugged. I honestly didn't know what was wrong with it.

"I can take a look at it, if you want," He offered and I didn't answer and just shrugged again. Honestly as long as my truck got fixed I didn't care who looked at it.

"So how about this weather?" he asked smirking.

"You're asking me about the weather?" I asked snottily.

"Well at least you're talking to me now," he said smugly and I rolled my eyes.

"So you going to the girl's choice dance?" he asked and I looked over at him confused.

"Girl's choice?" I asked and he glanced over at me looking slightly amused.

"You mean you don't know what the Girl's choice dance is?" he asked with a chuckle. "Girls ask the guys to the dance instead of the other way around."

"I know what a girl's choice dance is. What I meant was when is it and when did we find out about it?" I said glaring at him.

"Oh, about a week before you came and it's on Friday," he said and I nodded. We stayed in silence until we pulled into the parking lot. I was about to get out when Edward opened my door.

"Wait. Weren't you just?" I stammered for a second before shaking my head. "Never mind," I said climbing out. "Thanks for the ride, Edward," I said softly before walking away. As I neared the school Mike walked up to me.

"Why were you riding with Cullen?" he asked angrily.

"Because my truck broke down yesterday and Edward gave me a ride so I wouldn't have to walk here in the rain," I told him continuing towards my first class.

"You could've called me," he said.

"It was too early to call. I was going to try and hike it to school but Edward found me and offered me a ride. It's raining way too hard to walk all the way to school with how I feel," I explained rubbing my temples, my head was pounding.

"Oh," he said as we walked into first hour. I sat down in my seat and put my head on my desk. I could not wait for this day to be over. Class passed slowly with my English teacher giving me a mountain of homework. Or at least to me it seemed like a mountain. That might be because all I wanted to do was go home and sleep. The day passed just as slowly as English and soon it was time for lunch. I was looking forward to the one time that whole day when I could just sit and relax. My teachers were really laying it on thick today. I had a pop quiz and three assignments to do after school and that was just from my morning classes. I grabbed my lunch and was walking towards my table when Mike walked up to me. "Hey Bella," he said and I gave him a small smile.

"Hey Mike," I said.

"So I was wondering if you were going to girl's choice with anyone," he said and I shook my head.

"I didn't even know about it till Edward told me," I said and Mike's jaw clenched at Edward's name but he didn't say anything. "But if you don't have a date I'd be willing to go with you," I said and he grinned.

"Of course Bella," he said and I smiled back. I'd never been to a dance before, I was a klutz and boys at my old school just didn't see me that way.

"So I'll pick you up at 7:30 on Friday?" Mike asked and I nodded. We sat down at our table and I glanced over towards the Cullen's table. Edward was staring at me, Alice was bouncing around, as normal, Emmett was… well Emmett, Rosalie was glaring at me and Jasper looked like he wanted to crawl in a hole and die.

"YO BELLA!" Emmett yelled across the cafeteria and I looked at him to see him waving at me. I waved back blushing and Rosalie smacked Emmett on the back of the head. "Ouch, WOMAN! Why do you keep hitting me?" he asked rubbing the back of his head.

"Because you're an idiot," she said before turning away from Emmett. I shook my head and looked away. Soon lunch was over and it was time for Biology, great. Now I would have to sit next to Edward and ignore him. Something I was not looking forward to doing. When lunch was over I walked with Mike towards the class room. He rambled about how excited he was about Friday night. A date he would not screw up. When we got in the room, I saw Edward already sitting in his spot, even though I left before him.

I sat down and stared at the board. Even though I was painfully aware of Edward I tried to pretend he wasn't there. I was doing fine until Edward started humming. After about thirty seconds of it I got annoyed.

"Could you stop humming?" I asked, irritated. He stopped and started singing quietly.

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air

Can't live, can't breathe with no air

That's how I feel when you ain't there

I starred at him in shock. How did he know the words to my poem so easily? I barely remembered them. "Where did you hear that?" I whispered.

He smirked. "I don't remember. Do you like it?"

"It was…. Cool, I guess," I said lamely. Actually, it was amazing. I loved it but we weren't talking so I couldn't tell him that. He shrugged and started humming again. Whoever took the poem put it to music, making it a song. It sounded amazing the way he started singing it. I had to find that poem, and fast.

The rest of the class period took forever just to pass. Every minute I looked at the clock, silently cursing it out in my head. Why was everything out to get me and make my life miserable? When the class got close to the end, I was almost bouncing in my seat with anticipation of the end of the day. Yay, gym. I thought about skipping but I wouldn't be able to handle that on my conscious.

When the bell rang, I threw my things in my bag and pretty much ran to the door.

"Hey, Bella," Edward's voice came from behind me. He came up next to me, and handed me my Spanish book I had left on the table. "You forgot this on our table."

"Oh," I said. "Thanks Edward." He smiled and started walking away. I watched him walk away, and I realized ignoring him was going to hurt me more than anything he could do to me. "Hey Edward!" I said running up to him, and slipping on the wet concrete, but before I hit the ground, his hands shot out to catch me. "Thanks." I said balancing my self on my feet. "I wanted to tell you something." I looked him right in the eyes, his beautiful golden eyes, looking like they were melting. I lost my train of thought for a second, and then remembered what I was going to say. "I wanted to say that I'm sorry snapped on you," He opened his mouth to say something but I cut him off. "No, let me finish. I had no right to say any of that to you, it was wrong. I am miserable with out you. I need you in my life. We have to be friends." He starred at me shocked at what I had just said. I couldn't believe I broke my promise to myself, but forget that, this was about my mental health now.

"I can live with that." He said smirking. "Plus, now I can say that I don't think you should go to gym," I starred at him confused. "Bella, you look like your going to fall over at any second. I don't think that it would be a good idea for you to run around when you are this sick." I nodded. That sounded reasonable. "Well how about I go check out your truck now so you can go home." I opened my mouth about to protest to skipping the last period, but he interrupted. "Don't worry about the administration bit. I will take care of that. Now, let's go look at your truck."

We walked over to my truck. Edward opened the hood and looked around, tinkered with a few things, and went to try to start it. He turned the key, but nothing happened. He sighed and looked at me.

"Well, I think it died." He said.

"What am I supposed to drive now?" I said my breathing reaching hyperventilation. I started walking in circles, freaking out. "I don't have the money to get a new car!"

"Whoa, Bella, whoa, calm down." He said grabbing my shoulders, stopping me. "We can talk to Carlisle. I'm sure he will be more than willing to get you a new car." I starred at him in shock.

"You expect me to let someone else buy me a brand new car?" I screeched.

"Bella, we have more money than you probably think. Carlisle has a high salary." He said trying to calm me down. "Plus, we are going to see him right now. I'm worried about you," I gave him a confused look. Well I did feel like hell, my head was so stuffed it wasn't even funny, I was freezing, and my throat killed, so maybe he did have a reason to be worried. "Bella, you're extremely pale, paler than I am which let me tell you, that is an accomplishment, you have dark circles under your eyes, and," He paused. "Must I go on?" I shook my head, he was probably right. "Well let's get you out of the rain then."

He led me to his Volvo, opened the passenger door for me, and then got in the driver side faster than any normal person should be able to.

"How do you keep doing that?" I asked him.

"Do what?"

"Move so fast." I told him. His expression changed to a guarded look.

"It's not my fault that you're so unobservant, Bella." He said quietly. He quickly started the car and drove out of the parking lot, obviously not doing the speed limit.

"Um, Edward? Could you possibly, uh, slow down!?" I asked nervously as he swerved through traffic almost creaming another car. I made sure that my seat belt was on, because I did not want to die today. He sighed.

"Fine, is this slow enough for you?" He said, and I looked to see that he had dropped the speed dramatically.

"Thank you." I said releasing my death grip on the door. "Wait, how are your siblings going to get home?" I said now realizing that he had left them there with no car.

"Oh, they will find a way home." He said, looking at me. We rode in silence after that. Though it was a quiet ride, it wasn't as awkward as it could have been. It was a comfortable silence. I rested my head against the window, the stuffiness getting to me. I closed my eyes, finally being able to rest. "Bella?" Edwards's quiet voice came from my left. Wait a minute, wasn't he supposed to be on my other side, driving? I jerked up hitting my head on the ceiling.

"OW!" I said rubbing my head.

"We're here, are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah," I said, "I'm fine." I got out of the car and walked with Edward towards the house. He opened the door for me and we found Carlisle and Esme watching T.V.

"Why hello Bella!" Carlisle said, "How's your hand?"

"It's better now." I told him.

"What do you need?" he asked.

"I'm worried about Bella, Carlisle," Edward said. "If you just look at her you will understand." Carlisle really looked at me this time, and Edward was right. He understood.

"Come into the dining room, Bella." Carlisle said back to me already walking to the table. He checked me over and came to a conclusion faster than any other doctor I had ever been to. "Well, Bella, I am one hundred percent sure when I say you have an extremely bad cold." I heard Edward sigh with relief. I laughed quietly at his reaction. He was so protective of me, it was scary sometimes. "Oh and by the way you can take off that brace now." He said reaching to take it off for me. I thanked him quietly as I flexed my fingers.

"Thank you, Carlisle," Edward said, "Oh and by the way, I was wondering if you would be willing to get Bella a new car, her truck died. It's sitting in the parking lot at school as we speak." I blushed embarrassed that Edward was asking Carlisle this.

"Of course." Carlisle said, "You are going to be my daughter soon, I am more than willing to help you before that is official." I blinked at him, confused. Then it hit me. I didn't Alice say something about Carlisle adopting me a while ago? I didn't realize that they were all starring at me.

"Bella, sweetie, are you okay?" Esme asked me.

"What? Oh, yeah, sorry, I was just thinking about something's." I said.

"Well, Bella," Carlisle said trying to change the subject. "Why don't you come over on Saturday and we'll talk about what kind of car you want."

"Yeah, sure." I said as Edward started to lead me out the door. "Oh and thank you!" I called back. I heard Edward chuckle as I got back into the car. When he got into the drivers side, his cell phone rang. He checked the caller ID and sighed.

"Hello?" he answered. "Yeah, I'll be there in a couple of minutes." He paused "I have to drop Bella off at her house first." He glanced at me and I smiled. He smiled back then got irritated. "No you cannot talk to her Alice." He gave an exasperated sigh. "I don't care, Alice. Your are not talking to her!" I laughed as he rolled his eyes. "Again Alice, I don't care! I don't care that you haven't talked to her in a couple of days, she is resting right now!" He winked at me. I looked out the window and saw that we were almost to my house. I had been enjoying this conversation so much I hadn't been paying much attention to where we were. "NO ALICE DO NOT PUT EMM-" Edward quickly pulled the phone away from his ear saving his ear drum.

"YO BELLA!" I heard from the phone. I looked at Edward giggling as he rolled his eyes.

"Emmett, I swear, if you break my phone from screaming into yours I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" He started yelling into the phone and I started laughing even harder. This was the most entertaining thing I had seen in a very long time.

"HEY! DON'T GET YOUR PANTIES IN A WAD, BARBIE!" Emmett shouted into the phone.

"GOOD BYE EMEMETT!" Edward yelled and shut the phone. He glanced over at me with an irritated look on his face. I tired my hardest to hide the fact that I was laughing, but I failed miserably. He started laughing with me, and I laughed so hard I started crying. "Well, Bella," He said through his laughing fit. "I will be here, with Alice most likely, to pick you up in the morning."

"Okay, I'll see you then." I said as I go tout of the car. He waited until I got the door unlocked; when I turned around to wave I hit a slippery spot out the steps and fell on my butt.

"Are you alright?" He called from the car.

"Yeah," I said giving him the thumbs up as I pulled myself up. "I'll see you tomorrow!" I called to him, but je was already driving away.

When I safely got into the house, I threw my stuff down, and went straight for the cold medicine. I took two and went to take a nice hot shower. When I got out I went and got my pajamas on, and did my home work. At 7:30 I was beat and I needed to sleep. I lay my head down on the pillow and thought about how Edward and I were friends again. It was a good feeling having him with me today. I fell asleep thinking about him, and again I dreamed of only him.
