Hello, my faithful readers! I am sorry that this took a long time. You see, school has started for me, and it is my first year in high school not very many of my friends are in my classes, so I don't talk. I am really nervous and I haven't really had much time. I am sorry this one is so short too. Anyway, since school has started, updates will be farther apart. I don't know how long I will be able to work on this story because I still have my novel and school work. Any way, here is the 6th chapter. I got the name of the title from a song called sound the alarm by Saves The Day. Check it out, it kicks major bum chucks.

Loves to the yous, from the me.

Chapter 6: Falling Feeling, Fear I Can't Go On

Bella's Point of View:

I was so terrified Monday morning when Edward and I walked into the school. He was holding my hand, and as soon as we walked through the doors, Alice was at my side.

Alice had called the house on Saturday night when Edward and I returned home. She promised to help fend of the people who would be asking me questions. She told me that she understood why I didn't tell her, and also that if I felt like I needed to talk she was always there. Emmett, Jasper, and Rosalie had also called and said they would help when they could.

Somehow, even though I knew I had friends who were going to try and make the next week as bearable as possible, I couldn't help feeling like I was falling, and that when I finally hit the ground, I wouldn't be able to get up and go on.

Jessica was the first to approach me when Edward, Alice, and I walked through the hallway that was filled with people whispering about me.

"Oh my god. I heard about your parents. That is so horrible. I mean I still have both of my parents. What is like being an orphan?" When she said the word orphan I stopped breathing. I had never though of myself being an orphan before. I could feel the tears start to come up to my eyes when Alice spoke.

"Bella's not really in the mood to talk right now. I think we are just going to get to class." I turned to her and thanked her with my eyes. Edward wrapped an arm around my waist, a gesture that may have been the cause of several gasps that I heard.

We walked into class only to have the teacher come up to my desk and start to talk to me.

"Bella, dear, I am so sorry about your parents. It must have been absolutely dreadful. Let me know if there is anything I can do." I just nodded and looked down at the desk.

Edward patted my back and I shut my eyes, massaging my temples. I just wanted to leave. I wanted to leave and have no one follow me. No one to ask how bad it was, or try to make sense of it. I wished that I could leave with Edward, and he wouldn't judge me or make assumptions, he would just hold me, like he has done every single night, since I fist looked into his liquid green eyes.

When class started I could feel everyone's gaze on me. I refused to look anywhere but my paper, where I was taking careful notes of the teachers lecture. Edward held my other hand. That was probably the only reason I didn't start crying right then.

The rest of the day was just as hard as the first forty minutes. About every 5 minutes some one would ask me how I was, or tell me how sorry they were. However, at lunch I couldn't take it anymore. Not after what he said to me. I walked into the lunchroom, alone because Edward had to go to the bathroom and Alice, Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper weren't there yet. I walked through the door and every one turned to look at me.

"Swan! That's right I am talking to you. I see you don't have your bodyguards today. Did they find out that you are a little orphan? I heard your parents were in a gang and they had it coming. I bet they were killed for a reason. I bet they deserved to die." Mike said when I turned my head towards him. I felt the tears come crashing down from my eyes when he said that they deserved to die. I turned and ran from the lunchroom sobs filling my lungs. I didn't see where I was going and I bumped into something.

I didn't fall over like I should have. I realized that there were arms around me. I knew this hold. It belonged to the only sweet part of my life that I had left. I wrapped my arms around him and sobbed into his chest. I didn't know what he was doing until he picked me up and carried me out of the school. He sat down in his car with me on his lap. We stayed like that until I was no longer crying.

"Do you want to tell me what happened?" Edward asked.

"Mike said that my parents deserved to die. That they had it coming." I told him and buried my face in his chest. His body tensed when I said Mike's name. He stroked my hair gently. I wondered what people thought of this. I hoped that maybe Edward's and mine relationship would distract them from the more disturbing factor of my life.

I looked up into Edward's beautiful green eyes. In them I saw so many emotions conflicting with each other. There was worry and sadness, anger and protectiveness. So many others were there but I couldn't recognize them because his lips were suddenly on mine.

My mind lost all thoughts except for the conscious fact that his lips were on mine. When he broke away I was disappointed and it showed on my face. He chuckled.

"People are starting to starting to stare." He said. I 'hmphd' and laid my head once again on his chest. Then the most vial thing happened.

The bell rang. I guess the saying, all good things come to an end was true. But honestly did they have to shove in your face by ring an obnoxious bell? I think not.
