A/N: I know I've been neglecting this story as my beta KeelyJade puts it, tee hee. I've just been having a horrible case of writer's block. It's short, but I think it has been the remedy to get me out of writer's block. Hope you enjoy and my apologies for not writing sooner! Please Review!

Chapter 9

Edward's P.O.V.

Alice waited patiently for me to sort out what I wanted to say. She must have seen it was important because Alice was not normally patient. Being able to see the future made her into one of the most annoying and inpatient vampires I knew, but I still loved her. She was the only I had to turn to when in need of some real advice. Emmett gave me advice too but, it wasn't always the best.

"Edward…" Alice said out loud, sounding exasperated. I had been pacing for an hour and still didn't know how to voice my thoughts or put them coherently to say the least.

"Alice, I just don't know what to say." It was mind puzzling. I never had these reactions or emotions toward someone. It was beyond the norm for me.

I felt protective of her; there wasn't any doubt in that.

"Edward, I'm leaving. You aren't going to say anything. I looked." She said with a smile in her voice.

"Alice, don't. Just wait a few more minutes, please." I sighed. It was now or never.

"I feel protective of her, Alice. I don't even know why. She's just a human," I said. Alice just looked at me with a smile on her face.

"You're not ready to hear the future. So, I'm going back to Jasper. He's mad at you, you know. He says you drag me away too much." Alice stood up and walked over to me. That little pixie gave me a hug that would have strangled a human.

"Everything will be alright, Edward, you'll see. How about you talk to her next time you see her?" she said before walking away.

Bella POV.

When I awoke the next morning an idea came to my mind - I should go to college. Port Angeles has a community college, which I decided to go to today and enroll. I quickly changed and headed down to Forks bus terminal and catch the next bus to Port Los Angeles.

When I arrived at Port Angeles it was already noon. I was hungry and didn't really bring a lot of money with me, so I decided to forget about lunch and set to find the community college.

Two hours had gone by and I still hadn't found the community college. Something was wrong. I was never so disoriented, could it be that I damage my brain by the hit I had taken to the head yesterday. It seems like I had.

I had lost all hope of finding the college when I turned into the next street and there it was. Finally, I had arrived.

I registered as undeclared. I didn't know what I wanted to do but keeping me busy was what mattered. I registered to start the winter session. It was too late for the fall semester. I ended up signing up for English, Introduction to Psychology, British Literature and General Biology.

By the time I left, the sun was going down. I started to walk the way I thought the bus terminal was, but instead I walked into a business district. There were no commercial stores at either side of the street, just warehouses. I started to walk back in the direction I had just come but my path was blocked by a tall, pale figure. The figure was similar to Dr Cullen's and his son's figure, but there was one big difference between the two that gave me chills all the way down to the bones - his eyes weren't golden. They were red.

A/n: Hope you enjoyed it! If you have any ideas or suggestions feel free to tell me! It might help me write faster. Oh do check out my other story New Town New Life. I most certainly don't have writer's block on that one!
