Ten bucks says it was Bella calling :P But she shall not interfere! Lovely chapter, can't wait to see what's up next :*
Brace yourself for rambling:
yeah, supposedly the venom spread further in the extra 5 min and that was too late for edythe to suck it out? So even though it was just a little it had gotten really far? Whatever you say, Stephanie... I felt awful for Charlie and Renee. Especially Charlie. I love him dearly and hate how Bella/beau breaks his heart to escape James. Why couldn't she have just been like "hey dad I'm spending the night at a friend's house" and then James would have seen her leaving and she could've staged a call to her mom or something saying she was going back to Phoenix?
And that's a good point! But I've known some guys to totally mope over ex-girlfriends. Anyhow, I find it kinda ironic that we fans are still getting annoyed/offended by Stephane's treatment of Bella/Beau when her point of writing this was that Bella WASN'T a damsel in distress. I feel like she would've made beau act the same as Bella in new moon just to prove that point, but maybe she wouldn't have been able to do so convincingly/realistically if she doesn't think a guy would act the same way over a breakup. So maybe it was a cop-out!
Twilight kinda set the bar for YA in the first place ten years ago, and I'm interested to see how other YA authors will mimic/respond to life and death in their own writing. Maybe ten years from now more of our favorite books will get AU-treatment from the authors themselves too! *crosses fingers*

-I know right! Bella/Beau could of done that, that way Charlie wouldn't have gotten his feelings hurt. I love Charlie, and I know he loves his Bella/Beau, but they hurt him so badly. I'm so surprised he forgave them. And I do feel bad about complaining about Stephenie's writing, but sometimes she doesn't think logically on some things. Like the venom for example. I know she tried to make Bella not a damsel in distress, but usually she was. It was a cop-out right! I hope they do, OMG! They should do a gender swap on the Mortal Instruments! :D

I need more plz like a sequel and every thing. I am in love with this. You would be a great author one day. I'm not sure about life and death. I grown to love the characters and have knh them switched would most likely ruin it for me! Plz tell what to do. Love this.

-Well Emily, I thought "Life and Death" was a really good book. I enjoyed it, sometimes it's exactly the same like Twilight, other times it's not. The gender swap was interesting, and Beau is an easily lovable character. I suggest you read it if you're really curious, because the ending is pretty interesting. :D

I awoke with sun in my eyes and Edward no where in sight. My heart began to pound as last nights scene played in my mind. Edward kissed me! He kissed me! Did this change things? Would he lave Bella now? Is what I've always dreamed finally coming true? I squealed into my pillow with excitement. Edward's finally mine! Yes! I hopped out of Edward's bed and headed to my room to change for school, skipping with glee as I did.

After glaring at the black short skirt Alice placed on my bed with a blue tank I put it on but put on my black converse instead of the high heels she put for the outfit. Grabbing my backpack I slung it over my shoulder, opened my door and hit a wall that sent electrical waves through my system. Looking up I smiled shyly, "Morning Edward." His hazel eyes didn't look very pleased. He looked conflicted, guilty, heartbroken. "Can we talk?"

"Of course," I said as I stepped back to give him room to enter my room. He closed the door behind him and sighed. "I'm sorry Amanda." My smile and the bubbly excitement leave me in a rush. He's sorry? For what? Kissing me? Oh God, please don't let that be it. Please. "Edward?" His hand slide in his hair roughly. "I'm sorry...I...I shouldn't of kissed you. It was wrong of me. I'm sorry if I...if I gave you the wrong idea." What was that sound? Was that glass? No, it was the sound of my heart breaking into a million pieces.

I stared at the ground as I tried to fight back the tears that wanted to fall. He loves Bella you moron. Of course he wouldn't leave her for someone as plain as you, I thought to myself sadly. "It's...It's fine E-Edward. I understand." I turned away and quickly left the room. Left Edward standing in the middle of my room looking hopelessly lost. Once I stepped outside Alice smiled sadly at me, "Ready for school?" I nodded, knowing i'd cry if I opened my mouth.

The man I will apparently never be over, no matter how hard I tried didn't want me. Didn't love me, and he probably never would. Jasper pulled me in for a one armed hug. "Sorry." I couldn't hold it in then. Throwing my arms around his neck I sobbed into his chest. Jasper hesitated for a moment before his arms wrapped around my waist. After a while I realized how stupid I must look and pulled away from Jasper, wiping away my tears as I did.

"Sorry," I said nervously with a forced smile. Jasper smiled, "It's okay. Tears were a good excuse anyways to get rid of this shirt." I couldn't help it, I laughed. "What? Jasper! I loved that shirt" Alice glared at him as he joined me in laughter. "Alrigt, alright. Go change your shirt Jasper so we can leave," Alice said hopping into the driver seat of Edward's car. "Ummm, Alice. This is Edward's Volvo." She smirked, "I know. He'll have to walk to school now."

I must admit, it did bring me a little happiness to be able to cause some type of problem for Edward. Jasper was back in seconds and Alice speed-ed out of the driveway laughing like a mad man and I couldn't help but laugh with her. Once we got to school Mike walked toward me with a smile and a single rose in his hand. I blushed as he handed it to me and blushed. "It's for you. Umm, I'm sorry I left so quickly yesterday." I blushed, would he apologize if he knew I had kissed Edward after he left. "Thank you Mike. It's pretty."

He smiled, "I wanted to know if you'd go out with me again tonight." I sighed, why am I leading him on? Oh yeah, cause i'm a jerk. I should really turn him down. I opened my mouth to tell him no, when Edward walked by with Bella under his arm. He was glaring at Mike. Why? He's the one who regretted the kiss. My heart ached at the site of him and my eyes stung with tears ready to fall. "You know what Mike? I'd love another date with you." Edward's eyes met mine in shock and...anger?

Before he turned away and lead Bella into school. I squeezed my eyes shut for a second to keep my tears in before reopening them to a happy faced Mike. "Great," Mike said excitedly. "I'll pick you up at the same time." With that he took my bag from my arm and slung it over his shoulder. "I'll hold this as we go to your class." Guilt began to eat at me. I really need to tell him i'll love him. I need to let him go before things get to far, before he falls in love with me. I sigh and follow after Mike heart broken and guilt stricken.

I know, I know. Y'all probably hate me. I'm sorry, but if they got together that fast the story would be over a lot quicker. Don't want that do you?
