Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. So here's the next chapter.

Bella's POV

By the time I stopped running, I was in the southern coasts of Greenland. I collapsed on the ground, and laid there for a second to catch my un-needed breath. I pulled out my cell phone. It was 8:30 in the morning, the next day, in Wisconsin. Sam had probably gone to school, just to prove that she can control herself even if I'm not there. 186 missed messages. Sam was the one who called in all of them, obviously not giving up until her hands started to hurt, or her phone broke.

I called her. I thought that Sam was smart enough to turn off her phone during school hours, so I was just going to leave a message for her to listen to later. I over-estimated Sam's smartness.

Sam's POV

Bella hadn't come home last night, and I was worried about her. I had tried to call her, but see wouldn't answer. I finally stopped calling and went to school. Sam, look at you! You are NOT the kind of person to worry about others. What the hell has happened to you? Bella's probably fine, so there's no need to worry, my selfish inner conscious told me. Edward's head snapped in my direction.

I was in the school parking lot, headed towards class. He must have heard my thoughts because he ran, human speed, my way. The rest of the Cullens followed him.

"What's wrong with Bella?" asked Edward. I glared at him.

"You should know, mind reader. It's your entire fault Bella ran away!" I said angrily.

Jasper looked at me funny. "Your emotions say you're worried, but that makes no sense because the Sam I knew a couple years ago would never be worried for someone else." Well there goes all that hard work trying to convince myself that I wasn't worried.

"I'm not worried!" I said, in denial. Face it, I, Sam Adams-Swan, am worried for another being. What has the world come to, now-a-days?

I ran away before they could comment, or worry over Bella, themselves, and went to first block. I had the big one, Emmett, in my class.

My teacher, Mrs. Mimps, droned on and on about stuff, and no one listened. She could me a spawn of the devil, her rambling a new and unusually cruel way to torture the poor souls of this hell called school. It was Indonesian 2. I don't know why I chose to learn the language of Indonesian, something different, and apparently the whole class was asking themselves the same question. My phone started to ring, playing a very fast paced, heavy metal song.

"BELLA! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" I screamed when answering the phone, not caring the whole class was staring at me. Mrs. Mimps was about to say something, while glaring at me, but I cut her off. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Mimps, but I really need to take this, its quite urgent. My sister ran away, and being the loving sister that I am-" I heard Emmett laughing at that, so I finished off my sentence directed to him- "I wouldn't leave her when she needed me." He stopped laughing. Mrs. Mimps nodded sharply, but still glared, letting me know I was still going to get a detention for this.

Bella heard what I said. "OK, whichever Cullen you were torturing with that line, good one," she commented. All my classmates were watching me, but only Emmett with his super vampire hearing could hear what he said. He growled a low growl only vampire ears could pick up, even through a phone. "So it's Emmett? Darn, it would have been funnier if it was Alice... Anyway, I figured you would be smart enough to have your phone off and I could just leave a message for you to listen to later, but I was wrong."

"Oh, whatever. Don't question my IQ and just tell me where you are, OK?" I said impatiently.

"Well… I'm somewhere in Southern Greenland. Actually, I might be in Northern Greenland by now, I don't really know." I walked out of the classroom, so none of the classmates could hear what I have to say, except maybe Emmett.

"Damn, you got farther than I thought. Do you want me to come get you and hold your hand like a baby while crossing the ocean or are you going to be a big girl and come all the way across the USA by yourself?" I asked her, pretending she was four.

She ignored my baby talk. "Give me a week. I'll be back Monday in time for school. Oh, and for any Cullen in hearing range who was listening to this conversation, if you try to come and find me, I will personally rip you limb from limb." Bella and I said our goodbyes and I went back to class. I could see fear on Emmett face from Bella's threat, and couldn't help but laugh at him.

I was bombarded with questions by nosy students, eager to gossip. "Where is she?" "Why'd she run away?" "When will she get back?"

I decided to give them answers to shut them up. "She ran away because the emotional pressure of our parents' death four months ago was too much for her. She is currently in South Dakota, and will be back Monday," I gave part truth and part lies. If I said she was in the icy tundra of Greenville, then people would want to know how she got there so fast. I stuck to our cover story. Our parents died in a car crash four months ago, and we had no other family so we live by ourselves. We moved away from South Dakota, where we used to live, to get away from the memories. It was a simple story that we made up at the last minute when they asked about our parents and our previous story wasn't convincing enough.

Everyone was looking at me at lunch, no shocker there. They were all talking about how Bella ran away. One rumor was what I said in class; she ran away from the emotional drama about our parents. The one, which someone made up, said she was secretly kidnapped. Another said she was pregnant, which is hilarious since vampires can't even get pregnant. The last one said it had something to do with her and Edward's bizarre fight in the hall, which is actually the true reason she ran away. These stupid humans have nothing better to do then make up rumors.

I sat alone at a table, facing the Cullens table, across the room. I wanted to go over there and torture them, but decided I wouldn't, for Bella. I could see them discussing the information Emmett had found out. Apparently Alice was in the classroom next to Indonesian 2, and heard the whole conversation, even the part about me being a loving sister that would never leave Bella. She, being a shopaholic pixie with a weak soul, was dry sobbing over that. I smiled triumphantly, until I felt a tap on my shoulder.

I turned around and to see a person standing there. He was tall, but not too tall, with dark brown, almost black, hair covering over his head in a messy manner. His eyes were grayish-blue. He wore a tight shirt with a skateboarding label and skinny jeans that had checkers in neon colors. Converse boots with random splats of paint came up to his knee was over his jeans. His crazy attire reminded me of mine. Following him was four boys and three girls, all with the mix of skater/punk/Goth look. "Can we sit here?" asked the guy who had tapped my shoulder. I shrugged my shoulders like I didn't care.

The guy who tapped my shoulder sat down next to me casually. His scent passed over me and I held my breath. He smelled better then most people. Hell, who am I kidding! He smelled better then the whole human race put together. Maybe if I lured him into the woods, no one would notice… I suddenly caught Edward's head whip around in my direction. Stupid mind reader.

"Hey, my name's Danny Nelson, and this is Chris, Ian, Sid, Ryan, Rachel, Brit, and April." The guy, Danny, told me all of the people's names, but I was barely paying attention. His blood was so tempting, but I had to stay strong, to prove myself that I could live with only animal blood. But what's the difference, it would just be one slip up. I could see Edward sending me daggers with his eyes, but chose to ignore him.

They all stared at me, expecting me to tell them my name now. I opened my mouth to say my name, but realized that I was still holding my breath and had to inhale air in order to talk. If I inhale right this second, I might not be able to stop myself from eating this dude in front of everybody.

I could just kill all the witnesses, maybe set the school on fire, and make it look like they didn't get out in time, said that evil inner conscious of mine that was annoying me earlier.

I shot a look towards Edward. I hated what I was about to do, but had no better option but to swallow my pride. Please, help. "Hey, Sam!" He called, walking towards me now, saving my butt. "Mrs. Mimps needs you. She said something about a detention for what happened this morning." Danny's eyes filled with understanding and pity for me, he must have heard the rumors of what had happened this morning like everyone else. "See you later," he said, with a hint of hope that no one seemed to hear, but me. I walked out of the cafeteria hastily, and took a big breath of the polluted air.

Edward was beside me. I looked at him curiously. "Why did you help me?" I asked in a small voice.

He smiled sadly. "That boy—Danny—is your singer. I helped you because I was in your situation once."

I raised an eyebrow. "What happened?" I had never heard that Edward had a singer from the stories the Cullens had told me.

"I fell in love with her, and then left her. And now she hates me." My eyes widened. Bella was Edward's singer. I didn't know that part of the story.

So if Edward fell in love with his singer, would that mean I would fall in love with mine? That idea frightened me more than anything as I ran off school grounds and all the way to Greenland.

Bella's POV

I was somewhere in Greenland, sitting on the edge of a snowy cliff, staring into space while trying to think through my problems.

"Move over," said a voice behind me. It was Sam, and by the look on her face, something happened at school with her. I scooted over and patted the snow beside me. She sat down, and told me everything about the boy and his blood and the whole singer problem.

Sam and I sure have some problems to work out.

So this chapter has a lot of Sam in it, but that's just because Sam needs more drama in her life… and a man… but anyway… REVIEW! :P
