Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight and I sadly never will. Oh well.

A/N: So I've learned that writing chapters is a whole lot more fun when I have somebody to bounce ideas off of. Lucky my friend, FiestySicilianLady30, has been helping me write chapter for like the past 2 months has agreed to be my beta. Woo!

"Call Renee," I whisper as I stand up and slowly walk towards the door. I need to see Bella right now. I honestly don't know what to do with this information, but I need to make sure my angel is okay.

"Go to her, but please don't tell her anything I've told you until her mother can get here and explain everything. If I call her now she should be here by the time school lets out. Since you look overloaded you can feel free to take Bella out of school for the rest of the day so you may both spend time together." Charlie says as I hear him pick up the phone and start dialing.

All I can manage is to nod my head as I quickly run out of the house and race to my angel.

Bella's P.O.V.

This has honestly been the longest day of my life and it hasn't even started yet! I don't know why I never thought about the Cullen's coming back to Forks High as well when they returned to Forks. Sadly that was my surprise this morning when I showed up to school. I didn't even have a chance to put my truck in park before Edward comes strolling up to my window looking cocky as ever.

"Good morning love. I was hoping we would have the chance to talk before class started today. I know things didn't go as well as I had hoped last night but..." I completely tune him out as I quickly climb out of my truck and lock it before making my way over to Angela, Ben and the rest of my friends.

I can still hear Edward talking as he follows me. I notice that my fuse today is shorted than normal so I am quick to turn on him. "Edward please believe me when I say that I have no desire to talk to you today. Hell I don't even want to look at you right now. I suggest you leave before we have a repeat of what happened last night. I would hate to embarrass you in front of the whole school." I quickly turn to leave noticing Alice and Jasper staring at me with a mixture of mirth and trying not to double over in laughter. I sigh ditching my plans to talk with Angela and instead decide to head straight to class to clear my head.

During first period I was able to calm myself down and clear my head of all thoughts of Edward. I thought my day was going good until it was time for lunch. Of course I knew my peace and quiet was too good to last because before I even had time to make it all the way into the cafeteria Edward is following close behind me.

"Bella my love you can't avoid me forever." Edward says as he continues to follow me as I decide to skip lunch and instead go to my usual table to wait for the rest of my group to join us.

"I'm not avoiding you Edward. I'm simply done waiting my breathe trying to explain something that your apparently very basic mind will never understand." I say as I take my seat and place my backpack beside me.

"Please don't be like that my love. Tanya's not here so please let's stop pretending and be honest with each other." I sigh as I realize that everything I say to him is going in one ear and right out the other.

"Edward you're still not listening to any of the words that are coming out of my mouth. Maybe if I say it slower you'll understand me. I. Want. Nothing. To. Do. With. You! Am I making myself crystal clear here? I don't want to be with you again because I don't love you! I have moved on!" I lean over the table and shout no longer caring about where we are or whose listening.

"You can't possibly be serious Bella. How could you possibly want that sorry excuse of a person over me? I'm perfect for you in every way and I make one mistake and you can't look past it!" Edward shouts not noticing that my favorite vampire has suddenly decided to make an appearance at school.

"Edward I'm getting really tired of you always disrespecting me in front of my angel." Tanya says as she walks up behind him with her arms crossed.

Edward quickly turns around in surprise looking like a deer caught in headlights. You know for a vampire he really is stupid and apparently oblivious.

"Tanya what are you doing here? School is the one place I can finally get Bella away from you and try and talk some sense into her!" Edward says quickly trying to distance him from Tanya as best as he can never taking his eyes off of Tanya. Smart boy.

"I was kindly given permission by Charlie to feel MY GIRLFRIEND from school for the duration of the day. Imagine my surprise when I show up and hear you talking shit about me again." Tanya says as she sends Edward a venomous glare.

Now I knew the Cullen's, more specially Edward, returning would send Tanya into an extremely possessive rage as I was forewarned, but damn I didn't think it would be so sexy. Everything about Tanya right now screams domination and confidence and if I wasn't too busy enjoying Edward's fear of getting his ass kicked...again. I would probably be swooning.

"I'm simply trying to talk some sense into my Bella because she has somehow fallen under your spell and I'm trying to save her!" Edward says never taking his eyes off of Tanya. Again I say smart boy.

"If memory serves I never asked to be saved Edward. Even if I was under some sort of spell, which I'm not, why would I want you to be my knight in shining armor? You run when things don't go your way and I'm not ever willing to put myself in that position again." I ignore the snickers in the background that I hear from people in the cafeteria clearly listening to our conversation. Although to be fair we are kind of making a scene so it would be hard not to listen in.

"How many times do you want me to apologize before you finally forgive me and move on?! I thought I was doing what was best for you, and now I clearly see that it wasn't! I realize mistake so how long are you going to hold it against me?!" When is he going to realize I don't want his damn apologizes! I want is for him to accept the fact that I'm in a relationship with somebody who truly loves me and makes me feel happy and special.

"She doesn't want an apology from you Edward. Bella wants is for you to realize that she's happy with me and to leave it at that." Okay so I'm seriously starting to believe that Tanya can read my mind because she does stuff like that.

"Bella isn't gay!" Did we not just have this conversation literally last night?! It hasn't even been 24 hours and that's the point that he wants to go with?! I dated an idiot it's official! I never knew vampires could be idiotic but Edward has proven me wrong.

"Is that really your only argument? Would you still be acting this way if I was dating a man?" I ask feeling a headache starting to form behind my eyes. I quickly grab the table as I start to worry about a repeat from last night occurring. I glance at Tanya and see her staring at me with concern.

"I...I don't know Bella honestly I would have understood a hell of a lot more than this! What we break up and you decide you want to be a dyke and with this slut of all people?!" I quickly stand up knocking my chair over as I feel myself starting to leave my body again.

"Don't you dare talk about Tanya with such disrespect! Ever since you came back you've done nothing, but try and ruin my happiness! You never saw me when I was crying my heart out because you left me like I never mattered! I will never forgive you for what you said to me that day. Now I'm finished having this conversation with you Edward." I shout feeling myself starting to shake with pent up anger.

Before the feeling has time to completely take over my body I feel cold arms wrap around my waist and a head rest on my shoulder. "Angel please calm down. I don't want you losing your temper at school in front of everybody. I need you to relax for me." Tanya's sultry voice whispers in my ear as I feel the tension seep out of my body. I swear I would do anything this woman said if she asked me in that voice.

I close my eyes and take a few deep breathes before I quickly turn in her arms and nestle my head in her neck. I breathe in her scent gently as I wrap my arms around her neck. I don't know what the hell is going on with me, but I don't like it.

"Remove your arms from around my girlfriend Tanya." Edward growls as I feel him glaring at us.

"No! She isn't your girlfriend anymore Edward, remember? You broke up with her. She's mine now and I will never do something as stupid as to leave the best thing in my life behind like you did. Leave her alone Edward I've tried being nice about it for Bella's sake but now I'm done playing with you. Try to cross me again and you won't enjoy what happens next." Tanya growls back as she removes herself from my grasp and quickly grabs my hand leading me out of the cafeteria and out of school. I don't bother to grab my backpack I'm sure Alice will get it for me and the rest of my assignments for the day.

Tanya and I walk in silence as I give her a chance to calm down. I can't seem to wipe the smile off my face in that time. "What are you thinking about angel?" Tanya asks with a faint smile on her face.

"Now I know why you warned me that you would become possessive when Edward came back, but I never thought it would be like that." I say still smiling at the fond memory.

"Is that a good or bad thing?" Tanya asks trying not to sound worried.

"Oh most definitely good babe. I used to absolutely hate it when Edward was possessive of me because it made me feel like his property, but with you dear god I love it. When you're possessive I don't feel like you're trying to possess me, but instead showing that you love me and want to protect from anybody trying to harm or break what we share." I squeeze her hand as we start walking towards the forest. I take a few deep breaths as I feel the last bits of my headache dwindle away.

"How are you feeling? Do you still have a headache?" Tanya asks as she pulls me closer and wraps her arm around my waist. I don't even pay attention to where we're going I'm just enjoying my time with Tanya after she saved me.

"I'm feeling better now. Thank you and the last lingering bits of my headache just melted away." I sigh as I lace my fingers together with the hand she has around my waist.

"What's bothering you angel? And please don't say nothing because your thoughts are louder than your heartbeat right now." Tanya says as we come to a stop in the middle of the woods.

"I don't like this. Every time Edward says something rude about you it's almost impossible to keep my anger in check. I don't know what's happening because I'm usually not this aggressive and it's starting to scare me." I squeeze Tanya's hand as I finish the only explanation that even comes close to how I feel.

"Isabella so you trust me?" In all the time that I've known Tanya I don't think she's ever said my whole name with so much uncertainty.

"Why would you even have to ask me that Tanya? Of course I trust you more than anybody. Is something wrong?" I ask starting to get worried about what has gotten into Tanya all of a sudden.

"I know what's going on. I had a talk with Charlie this morning that was more than interesting in explaining what's going on with you. This is where I need your trust for me to come in. I'm not allowed to discuss what we talked about until I bring out home after school lets out. I want to tell you please believe me, but I'm not the right person to tell you because I wouldn't even know how to explain it." I don't know how I should feel about what Tanya just said. She basically knows more about me than I know about myself.

"Why did Charlie tell you and not me? Did you tell him what happened last night?" I ask trying to keep any hostility out of my voice.

"I never told him anything. I would never betray your trust in such a manner especially not after I worked so hard to gain it. Charlie knows I'm a vampire and he knows about my family and the Cullen's." I can feel my headache coming back as I listen to what Tanya has to say. I don't know what to feel about anything anymore and that's just seems to be making everything worse.

"Anything else I should know?" I ask trying to decide how I want to react to everything.

"You're moms going to be at the house when you get there. Also Charlie knows that you're my mate." Oh this is just the icing on the cake. I'm sure that is going to lead to some kind of uncomfortable conversation later on.

I sigh as I lay my head back on her shoulder and focus on the cloud covered sky. I honestly am so emotionally confused right now that I don't know what to do. "Please say something, anything really. If you want to yell please feel free. I don't care I just need you to be okay. I wish I could tell you everything right now, but it's honestly not my place." I quickly turn around and wrap my arms around Tanya's neck and hug her as tight as I can.

"Are you going to be with me when I go back home to talk to my parents?" I ask because I honestly don't think I can handle all of this on my own.

"There is no place I would rather be angel." Tanya says as she wraps both of her arms around my waist hugging me just as tight as I hug her.

"Then I'm going to be just fine as long as you're by my side." I whisper as I gently kiss her neck with a smile.

"I'll always be by your side angel. You will never have to worry about going through things alone or worry about being left behind as long as I'm around." Tanya whispers knowing just what I need to hear to help me feel better.

"How do you always know exactly what I need to hear?" I nuzzle her neck being overwhelmed by her presence and the love I feel for her.

"Really it's just guess work. Also it might have something to do with the fact that I was your friend before I was your girlfriend. Also I know you and love you for everything you are and everything you're not. I would do anything just to make you feel better and see you smile." Dear god do I love this woman. She is literally perfection from head to toe.

"Well you're very good at guessing and makes me love you more than I ever thought possible. Thank you." I gently release my arms from around her neck and try to step out of her arms, but she won't let me go.

"Why are you thanking me angel? Also I wasn't finished hugging you yet!" Oh my god I even love it when she whines like a 5 year old. How did I honestly fool myself into believing that Edward was my mate when it's so painfully obvious that Tanya is?

"For everything you've done for me since you found me in the woods. There were days that you could have easily given up on me but you didn't. The just last night I presented you with the prefect opportunity to leave and again you didn't. Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve you." I say as I rest my hands on her cheeks and gently stroke along the frown marring her beautiful face.

"I will never give up on you Isabella. Never. I have been waiting for you for over a thousand years so please believe me when I say that I'm here for you no matter what. You deserve me as much if not then I deserve you. I've never hidden my past from you and you know some of the things that I've done and you still choose to be with me. Now please calm down and try not to overthink everything." Tanya says as she gently kisses my lips and removes on of her arms from around my waist.

"Okay okay I'm better now. I didn't mean to sound...needy? I just don't know how to feel right now and I guess I latched on to the first emotion that I could deal with." I say as I lace my fingers with hers again and follow her lead as we continue out walk.

"You could never be needy angel. I know you're going through a very confusing time right now and I will be here for you in any way you need me. Now let's go I'm taking you back to the house because you need some family time and Carmen will probably want to shove food down your throat as usual." Tanya and I both laugh at the image of Carmen force feeding me.

"Sounds great to me because I missed lunch having to deal with Edward, and I'm starving." I smile as we continue to walk towards her house.

It's been a really rough couple of days and I have a feeling that they are long from over. Tanya has truly been my rock since the very day she walked into my life, and as long as she's by my side I think I can handle anything thrown my way. I'm just really dreading what my parents have to say.

A/N 2: So since I go back to school and work soon I won't be able to update every week or more like I did before. So I've gotten into the routine of uploaded a chapter every two weeks. I promise to keep the story alive and going for all of you.
