Two Months Before...

Bella sat down at the lunch table with Jessica. Her eye's wandered from the food on her plate to the Cullen's that sat in the table far in front of her. They always ate together, never leaving that table and sitting with other people. They were different yes, but why did they always sit there. Of course they must have friends, right?

"You know their bound to see you staring." Jessica smiled as she ate.

Bella shook her head and looked back down at her food, "I'm not staring."

"Alright, glancing. Better?"

"Yeah, makes me seem less of a stalker that way."

Jessica turned to look at her, "Your staring again."

"Stop pointing it out." Bella smiled as she took a fork full of the salad. He was so mysterious, so secretive. He was like her personal little game and she honestly loved to play it. Even though they never had a full conversation, she still encourage herself to keep watching him. Looking for something that could strike a conversation, either something that seemed of an interest to her that he did or something that had happened to him. Just something that she'd ask him about or try to talk to about. Even though he sat right next to her in math class, just an aisle away, she hadn't said a word to him. Some odd glances, tiny smiles, but no words.

"So how did second period go?" Jessica asked.

"Like always, nothing was said."

"Maybe you need to make the first move first."

Bella looked at her, "Jessica trust me, nothing between him and I will ever happen. Never."

The Next Day...

Bella walked into the math class, her legs practically dragging along the floor. Her arms wrapped around the math book pressed hardly against her chest. As she passed a group of girls chatting by the desks in front, she could see Edward sitting at his desk. He was staring silently out of the window besides him, watching the rain drip down the window slowly.

She looked down as she sat in her desk. Without thinking she looked at him, "Your here early."

Edward shockingly turned his head, "The rain. Thought it'd be safer to come early then to be late because of it."

"Yeah, thats...why I came early too."

"And look, your safe and not late."

Bella chuckled, "Yeah, your right." She watched him look out of the window again. Edward Cullen had just spoken to her. The weird thing was, he never really introduced himself to her. Not how people usually do it, but then again he never really talked to her anyways, "Does the rain interest you?"

He looked at her again, "Kinda."

"I hate it." She smiled.

"You do know your living in one of the most wet places in the united states, right?"

"I'm aware of that, but I had no choice."

"Hm." Edward turned back to face the window.

Was it just her or was he being a complete jerk? All she was trying to do was start a conversation, was that too much to ask for? Instead of pushing for more, she turned to face the board.

Edward sat there, staring into the dark sky. Why must he be a jerk? Simple, if he didn't she would be died. She'd have a bite in her neck and her blood spilling from the desk to the floor. Edward over her drinking with pleasure. That is why he must act like she's a waste of time. Even though he hated the thought of hurting her emotionally, it was the only way to keep the girl safe. The only way he could look at her for the rest of the year. She was beautiful, smelt like heaven and was everything he could possibly ask for, just couldn't have. Her white skin matched his, like a sign from god he should be with her. Her eye's told so much, her smile innocent. She was everything he had waited for, craved for. Not only for her blood, which was impossible to not want, but her. Her entire being. The touch, the kisses, her arms wrapped around him moaning his name...He shook his head. Weird how fast his thoughts could go right to sex, then again he was still a man.

He looked at her as she woke on her paper, her writing small, but big enough for him to see. The way her hair fell over her face as she concentrated on her work, her words. How bad he just wanted to talk to her. That even though she knew who he was, he still wanted to introduce himself properly. Be a real man, but what he truly was, was stopping him from doing so.

He listened to the teacher talk through the lesson. Edward had did this plenty of times to know that he no longer needed to listen to the man talk, but that spacing out was perfectly fine to do. His fingers played with the pencil in his hand when there was a sudden tap on his desk. He turned to see the brunette masterpiece looking at him, "Yeah?"

"Could I use your eraser? Mine broke off my pencil." Bella said showing him the eraser rolling on her desk.

"Sure." He handed it to her and watched her eraser the errors on her paper.

She handed the pencil back to him, "Thanks."

"Yeah." He took the pencil from her hand, making sure not to touch her skin. His breaths stopped coming out as the warmth from the pencil she had been holding touched his palm. He tightened the grip around it, taking in all the heat. He couldn't move, couldn't breath, couldn't talk. All he could do was think about her beneath him. The warmth of her skin pressed on his chest. Her hair between his fingers as their lips met.

He tried to get the thoughts away, but they somehow found their way back into his head. This time with more creativity and pictures, much more visual then they had been before. Edward shut his eyes, his lips pressing together. Her face flashed in his head, smiling provocatively at him, her hungry eyes looking at him. She twirled her hair with her fingers, still staring at him, but now instead of smiling she was biting her lip.

A snapping sound awoke Edward from his day dream, he looked down to see a half of the pencil in his hand while the other rolled off his desk and landed on the floor. He quickly turned to look at Bella, who was staring at his hand and she wasn't the only one doing so.

"Is their a problem Mr. Cullen?" The teacher asked.

"No Mr. Rose, sorry." Edward picked up the broken piece and sat back up in his chair. The teacher nodded and looked back down at the papers he had been doing.

"Are you alright?" Bella whispered.

Edward just shook his head and stared down at his desk. What was wrong with him, why was he thinking like this? Acting like this? This wasn't like him, he never did this. For no one, not even the 'hot' cheerleaders at the school. No one had given such an impact on his life, on the way he thought about things. He breathed out in relief as the bell rung for lunch.

He hurried and stood from his desk, slightly bumping into Bella on the way out. As he made his way into the hallway, without thinking he turned around, "I'm sorry, I never really introduced myself." He could feel his eye's darkening as he stood there looking at her. The venom flowed heavily into his mouth, "Hi I'm Edward..." It was too much, he quickly turned around and walked down the hallway. Leaving Bella standing there confused. Leaving her by herself.

Bella watched him walk away, her mouth open due to the fact she was going to talk to him before he quickly ran away. She sighed and turned around, "Well that went well."

Now...

Edward stared at Bella crying in the middle of the room. The blood running down her arm and onto the wooden floor, making a puddle that was getting bigger by the second. Edward knew the two options he had at his moment, either she was going to need to get bitten in order to save her life or she bleeds out. Jasper tried to pushed harder onto Edwards arm, "Jasper no! It's Bella!"

Ryan grabbed onto Bella's hair and pulled back, "Is someone already given in to Bella's scent?"

"He's a new vampire." Bella squealed.

"Oh, so we're pretty much alike."

"I'm nothing like you!" Jasper yelled.

"But wrong you are. Right now all your thinking about is attacking her and sucking her dry. Tell me your not." He watched Jasper keep his stare on her cut wrist, "Tell me!"

Jasper hit the wall with his fist, "I want it!"

Ryan knelled down to Bella's level, the scent of her blood ran up his nose. It took all of his strength to hold his arms back, to hold everything back, "She smells so good, I don't know how you could stand being around her."

"Well I made sure not to cut her when we hung out." Edward joked.

Alice walked to Edward's side, "Edward...I can't." She looked back at Bella, "There's so much blood."

Edward quickly threw his other hand onto the wall, blocking from his smaller sister from coming through, "Please Emmett if you let it get to you, I can't hold all of us back."

"I won't." Emmett said looking at the back of Edwards head.

"Looks like everyone wants a big piece of Bella." Ryan said standing back up, "How about I get the first one?"

"Don't touch her!" Edward warned.

"What are you going to do about it? You have enough on your hands right now."

"Let me get her." Jasper said pushing harder.

Edwards hand slipped from the wall and Jasper ran as quickly as possible, "No! Jasper!" Emmett quickly grabbed Alice's arms as she tried to run with Jasper.

Ryan smiled as Jasper ran towards them, slowly he raised his hand, using his power, flinging Jasper back into the wall, "Whoa now. She's mine."

Edward stood a feet in front of Bella, staring down at her. He could hear the beat of her heart going weak, "Bella, don't give up."

"I'm...I'm not." She tighten her grip on her wrist.

"I love you." Edward said to her.

"I...love...you too."

"Awh, thats so romantic. Admitting your love for another as they lay on their death bed is quite the way to go." Ryan said sarcastically.

Emmett ran over by Jasper, grabbing his arm and pulling him to stand up, "I got them both Edward."

"Looks like Bella here is getting a bit weak." Ryan pulled her up by her hair, again she screamed in pain. He watched Edward flinched to the sound of her, "Let me help her. Let me give her life again."

"No." Edward whispered.

"So you rather she die, is that right?"

"Not that either."

"So you think you can save her?"

He grinned, "I know I can."

"How do you suppose you go about doing that?"

Silent from voices, the only sound to echo throughout the room was the sound of a slow heart beat from a near death girl. The blood ran from her wrist, making a new puddle from where she stood. Bella started to lean against Ryan for support, "Just do it."

Edward looked up from the ground at her, a surprised look on his face, "What?"

"Just bit me. Just do it Ryan." She said weakly.

"No he will not bite you." Edward protested.

"What else is going to happen Edward?" Alice said as she watched, "What else can you do, she's lost too much blood."

"She needs a doctor, she'll be fine then." He insured.

"You think you can take her away from me and give her to a doctor? Do you think I'm that easy to deal with? That I'm going to given in because your precious doll is bleeding faster then I thought she would?" He flung Bella around so her chest pressed onto his. Her head tilted to the side, "I'm not that easy." He kissed her white neck slowly, "I'll end this now once and for all." He opened his mouth and pressed it onto her neck.

"Stop!" Edward yelled, "Don't do it!" He looked on the floor, noticing a block of wood. He quickly picked it up and threw it at Ryan's head.

It hit with a loud thud. Ryan huffed and looked up, "You know what? Your right, I shouldn't bit her and let her live with you. It's much better watching you watch her die, knowing now her chance for survival is gone. I won't bite her, I'll let her die." He used his power to throw her back behind him, her body hitting the wall, "And this matter, it's between you and I. Your family is not needed." Again he used his power to push the hungry Cullen's into the elevator and closed the doors.

"You want to fight, for her safety?" Edward asked.

"Well it's not what I had planned, but now that you say it. It sounds like a wonderful plan." Ryan growled, baring his teeth at Edward.

Edward stepped closer to Ryan's face, "Fine, lets go."
