EPOV

The next day I walked into the school building slightly more confidently, knowing what I could and couldn't take. Bella couldn't get too close to me, but I could stand the burn of sitting next to her during Biology. Barely.

The first few hours were boring and uneventful, except for Alice speeding towards me just before the bell rang to tell me that Bella would be sitting with her and Jasper at lunch. Not wanting to push my luck, I made up my mind to sit with Emmett and Rose for awhile at lunch, just to watch Bella for a few minutes. I'd rather not stay in Emmett and Rose's vicinity for long periods of time, because their anniversary was coming up and hearing their thoughts made me feel a little sick.

I was sitting with them when Bella and another girl, Angela Weber, sat down at an empty table, laughing and talking. Alice and Jasper came in not minutes afterward, and Alice led a slightly reluctant Jasper to their table.

"Hey, Bella." Bella quickly looked up at the sound of her name and smiled at Alice and Jasper. She patted a seat on her other side and Alice sat happily and started chattering away.

I took note that Bella and Alice, got along together very well. At least I knew one of Alice's visions would soon be true. What about the other, less possible vision? It sure didn't feel like one day we would be like what Alice had seen. But already I felt very protective of her, and she was constantly in my thoughts. Emmett had had a good laugh about that, me falling for a human. But I found I didn't care much.

When they stood, I looked away quickly and picked up the slice of pizza on my tray. Jasper quickly exited and I looked towards Bella, Alice, and Angela again. Bella smiled at me and gave a tiny little wave before leaving. I hurried to Biology, and passed Bella in the hallway, but she didn't see me. When she came in the classroom, I turned to the front of the room. Remembering what happened yesterday, and determined not to lose my control; I sat like that all hour. It was hard, but I didn't even glance her way the entire time.

When the bell rang, I let out my breath, and I'll admit, rather foolishly, reached over to help her clear up her things. Her head snapped up quickly, her brown eyes widening a little. I smiled at her and put a book in her backpack. Then we headed to the door. For the life of me I couldn't think of anything to say to her. Then Bella said,

"Nice day, isn't it?" We heard thunder from outside and slowly the rain pounded harder on the roof. She blushed pink and, strangely, it didn't bother me too much. Trying and failing to keep a straight face, I said,

" Yeah. Really nice out. Good day for a walk." Lightning flashed and another boom of thunder sounded. I looked ahead. People stared at us as we walked by.

What's Cullen doing? I don't like this… thought Mike, passing us by.

Lucky girl. What did she do? She's not even that pretty… thought Jessica, a girl who had had her eye on me since last year. She glared at Bella, but Bella didn't notice, she was looking at me. Then she tripped and dropped her bag. A lot of her things spilled out and she blushed, if possible, harder.

I heard Jessica's smug thoughts as she walked away down the hallway.

We both knelt down and starting putting things back inside, then as Bella was putting a book away, she froze, looking deep into my eyes. I couldn't look away, not that I wanted to. I felt like I could kneel there, gazing into her eyes forever… But I looked away, and Bella, her heart pounding and her cheeks turning pink again, hurriedly shoved everything else into her bag and stood up. Her breathing was erratic, and she looked at me again.

But I turned away as I horrible feeling came over me. What the hell was I thinking? She was so very human, and I was a-a vampire! What would happen if I lost control and…killed her? Or worse, turned her into one of us? She would hate me for it. I rushed away to my next class, trying not to look back.

It was raining harder than ever after the final bell rang and I walked slowly down the hallway. I had calmed down a bit over the last hour. I was one of the last in the hallway, so I assumed the others would be waiting for me. I saw something shiny up ahead and as I came nearer I realized it was a set of keys. Something clicked in my mind and I remembered this was the hallway Bella had dropped her things earlier.

I walked over and picked them up. Sure enough, there was a faint smell of Bella on it and I carefully put it in my pocket.

I hurried outside, but a quick look around the parking lot told me Bella had already left. So it wasn't her car keys… They must be her house keys. Sighing, I climbed into the driver's seat of the Volvo and started it.

"What took you so long?" Emmett inquired from the back seat. I ignored him.

I dropped them off at the house before pulling back out and speeding back down the road. No doubt Bella was freaking out, it was raining pretty hard and she would be locked out till Chief Swan came home, unless she went and got his keys from him… My heart sank and I realized I was using this as an excuse to see her.

When I got there, she was heading back into her truck. I stopped quickly and jumped out. Remembering last minute to go at human speed, I hurried up to her. Her face was surprised, and I could hear heart speeding up.

"Hey."

"Hi. What are you doing here?"

"You dropped your keys when you spilled your bag. I was walking down the hallway to go meet Alice when I saw them on the ground."

She looked thoroughly relieved and sighed. "Thanks! I thought I was going to have to go to the police station and ask Charlie for his set of keys!"

I grinned and handed her the keys. She smelled unbelievably good in the rain… I let my hand brush hers slightly, carelessly. Then I froze. You complete idiot! I inwardly kicked myself and pulled back my hand, trying not to be suspicious. It was too late. Bella stared up at me, her eyes wide and her skin pale.

"Are you okay? Your hand is icy."

"It's just…the rain… You should really go inside now, Bella. You're soaking wet."

She was. Her hair was dripping and her clothes were soaked through. Water ran down her face and neck and I could see her shivering a little. She looked down at herself before looking back up at me sheepishly.

"Oh…you're right. Okay, well, thanks again!"

I watched her dash up to the front porch, and in her hurry to be inside, she slipped on the wet ground and slid towards the door. I almost went to go catch her, but stopped myself just in time, for she'd regained her balance.

Noticing that I was getting pretty wet too, I walked to the Volvo. I sat there, waiting until she got inside safely, before starting the car. She turned and waved at me before closing the door. I drove home slowly, reluctant to go back to Emmett's teasing.

After Edward got home, Jasper quickly distracted Emmett by challenging him to a wrestling match outside, to Esme's dismay. Edward didn't say anything, but went to the piano and sat for a few moments before playing softly. It was an unfamiliar melody, and I went downstairs and stood behind him, watching him play. He looked up.

"What song is that?" I asked. He didn't answer right away.

"It's…just a new one I made up…" I studied his face for a few moments before sitting down beside him.

When did you make this song? I've never heard you play it before.

He stopped playing. "Just now, actually… It just sort of…came to me."

I nodded slowly and he started playing it again.

It's beautiful.

He smiled a little and said, softly,

"It's Bella's song…"

She'll love it.

Edward stopped playing again. "What?"

You are going to play it for her, right?

"No, of-of course not." He frowned and looked down at his feet.

Edward. It's going to happen. I know it.

He swallowed. " I…I know it's going to happen. It…" he took a deep breath and turned to face me. " It already is. And I can't stop it."

I could tell he wanted to be left alone, so I stood up slowly and rested my hand on his arm.

Edward, it's alright…It's going to happen. And it's not a bad thing.

I turned to leave, and walked slowly to the sofa, still wanting to listen to Bella's Song, but not wanting to disturb Edward. Then-

Bella, pale white and breathtakingly beautiful, walking hand in hand with Edward in the edge of a group of trees. A bright light shone ahead, and they emerged out of the trees into a perfect, circular meadow. The sunlight hit the pair of them and their skin sparkled-

"NO!"

There was a crash and Edward flew into the room. "No! No!"

I stood up. "Edward-"

His hands flew up and gripped his hair; he closed his eyes and paced up and down, probably fighting the urge to kick something.

Edward, calm down…

"Calm down? Calm down? Alice, I'm going to-to-to turn her! She-"

She's happy. Didn't you see? She was happy. She's going to love you, just like you love her.

He stopped in front of me.

"Alice… " he groaned, and threw himself onto the sofa.

She's going to love you. Even after she's…one of us. Trust me.

A/N: Gosh I'm sorry, bad ending lol but I couldn't think of anything else at the moment. I have a deviantART account made and I'm working on some drawings to go with this story, but I probably won't be done with them for awhile yet (I'm obsessive when it comes to stuff like that lol) but if you want to check my page out you can, and I'll let you guys know when I have something on, okay? Btw the drawing on there ( yeah, the only drawing on there) is of Lily Evans, from Harry Potter. I'm a huggeee fan :D

Anyways, here's the link to my profile and have a great week! :]
