A/N: This is the 'bonus' chapter. It's much shorter than the last and only picks up on the second day of chapter twenty. I really liked the way I wrote Edward in this, he seems more like Edward to me, so I decided to keep it in there. Anyway, thanks for all your lovely reviews, only a few chapters left to go! Depending on what note I leave off on, you'll have to tell me whether or not you want a sequel, otherwise I'm just going to leave it where it ends and write the sequel as another twilight story (because I like the idea :3)

Chapter Twenty One: Into My Arms

I hated having to leave Bella once we were in school for the morning. Yesterday had been such a good day, aside from her almost being killed by an out of control car. That part wasn't that great. But now, I'd only see her in between periods and finally, for nearly a whole hour at lunch. I was sitting in English class, staring at the clock. Waiting. One minute... fifty six seconds...

Cullen's so frigging lucky... getting the prettiest girl in the entire school. I bet that's all he's thinking about now. Stupid teenage boys and their stupid teenage thoughts. Honestly. While Bella was the only thing on my mind just then, he made it sound like my thoughts were all dishonorable. I was too angry at him to even notice who it was. And then, at the same time I wasn't so sure why I was so worried about him. One human's thought were so infinitesimal in the big scheme of things. But I guess, it bothered me so because I was so very much in love with Bella, my Bella.

Twelve seconds... The students all began to quickly gather their things into their bags. Our teacher scarcely noticed half of them. The bell rang exactly on queue. I was out of my chair and through the door before anyone even noticed.

I waited outside the door to Bella's Trigonometry class. I tuned out the thoughts of the girls who were leaving or walking by. They didn't matter to me. Instead I focused on one thing, her delicious scent. She came out of the door and looked up to me, instantly smiling. It made my own lips curl to know that I could make her beautiful face even more attractive. I took her hand immediately and bent down to give her a quick kiss.

"How was your class?" I asked as we walked towards her next Spanish class.

"Ugh... Jessica wouldn't stop asking me about yesterday, exactly what happened, where we went after we left the hospital... it was really annoying." I chuckled a little. She was so easily irritated by her own kind. She blushed slightly which only made my grin even lighter. Then, when I looked up, we were already in front of her classroom. I frowned a little. I didn't want to leave her just yet.

I looked at her and she was watching me curiously. I smiled at her which made her heart beat erratically. I suppressed a chuckle as I bent down to quickly kiss her before leaving. When my lips touched hers... they were so warm and she smelt so good, I could've stayed like that the rest of the day. Unfortunately I was forced to break us apart, as she apparently wasn't planning on it any time soon. We would both be late for our next classes if I never.

"Good bye," she whispered as she turned into the classroom. I sighed. That girl was so wonderful. I raced to the gym with a smile on my face, one that stuck while I was changing into the uniform.

We were to play soccer today in class, one sport I would need to be careful about, keeping both my speed and strength in check. the class was divded into two teams, and we were to play a 'tournament' of three games, best two out of three wins. We had three people to each team sitting off at a time. I wasn't planning on sitting off anytime soon. It was easy for me to steal the ball, running with only a fraction of my speed down the court and then shooting into the net. My teammates passed me the ball when they could. And, not to be a 'ball-hog' I'd pass it around. Everyone deserved a chance to play.

I was standing near the net, dodging out from behind Ben who was futilely trying to block me. I ran up and received the ball from another person on my team and ran with it, weaving through my opponents.

Geez, Cullen must have rockets up his ass or something, I don't understand how he can go so fast for so long... I grinned. Whoever it was wasn't unobservant. I'd have to be more careful. I kicked the ball, not too hard, and landed it cleanly in the net. The others cheered, running up to give me a pat on the back or clap my hand, saying a 'good job' or 'awesome' as they went. I smiled and turned to go sit down for my turn.

Then my eyes caught her. I could see her through the glass in the door, staring in. She hadn't been there the entire time, only a little while. She still looked stunning in her plain, black sweater. Her hair was falling out of her ponytail, all around her face. I began to walk towards her, smiling. She blushed, only a little. When I got closer I noticed she was covered in a small sweat. I opened the door to talk to her, she wasn't even wearing her jacket in this cold weather?!

"Hi honey," I said, leaning in to kiss her quickly. She smiled up at me. Her eyes looked sleepy.

"Hi, how's your game going? Are you winning?" I grinned and nodded. "That's good."

"What are you doing out of class in this cold weather?" I asked her. I was hoping that whatever she was doing out here wasn't anything bad. I didn't want her to get into trouble.

"Um..." she hesitated, possibly editing her thoughts. There were a few times when I hated not being able to read her mind. "I was on my way to the nurses office. I wasn't feeling well during class." She wasn't well? Why couldn't I have been there with her. She noticed my expression change and her eyes widened.

"It's nothing too wrong! Just... my stomach and neck hurt a little." I frowned.

"I'm going with you," I said, turning to go change quickly into my clothes.

"No, Edward, don't miss your class. Your team probably definately needs you." She laughed a little and I laughed with her. It was true. "How about, I come back and tell you how it went right after I get out."

I nodded. "I'll hold you to that." She smiled and her eyes seemed to droop. Her breathing came in raspy and heavy, and then she fell forward, into my waiting arms.

"Bella?" I yelled. Maybe speaking loud enough would break her out of it. "Bella?! Can you hear me?!" I could hear other people from the class moving towards me. Then I smelt it. Why hadn't I noticed it before? It was too clear now to my senses.

She was dying.

A/N: Haha.. so thats the 'bonus' chapter... I really did like it though. I thought it was a good transition don't you think? I wouldn't be here to send it to people quickly anyway. So screw the bonus thing now. ahaha. Only three chapters left! There'll be an update either monday or sunday!
