Esme was able to work a miracle and had Alice and I re enrolled in Forks High in record time. Thankfully, I was able to get the same schedule as the beginning of the year putting me in all Bella's classes. I hoped that seeing me everyday would help her to accept that I was back to stay. I would never leave her again.

Quickly I walked into my first hour class, just before the bell would ring, so that Bella wouldn't have time to find another seat before the teacher started his lesson, but she was conspicuously absent.

"You can take the seat next to Angela, Mr. Cullen." The teacher said in a bored voice before droning on with role call.

Blocking out the monotonous drone of the teacher, I took a moment to browse the thoughts of the other students. Alice may have promised Bella some privacy, but I hadn't. I would work on feeling guilty later.

What in the hell is he doing here Mike Newton thought from the other side of the room, figures that he could come back just when Bella started to act like a human again. I will kick his ass if he hurts her again. Where is she anyway? Probably with Jake, god I hate that guy.

I should call Bella after school, make sure she is ok. Angela had always been my favorite of Bella's friends. She genuinely cared about people.

God Edward Cullen is back, He is so hot...Bella looks like shit these days, I am so in. chimed the thoughts of both Lauren and Jessica. It was good that the simpleminded stuck together.

The morning wore on slowly. Bella was absent from all her classes but i knew she was on campus. Her unique scent greeted me as i walked into the class rooms, as if she had been there just seconds before. I spent most of the day listening to the thoughts of Mike and Angela waiting to see if they had a clue as to why she wasnt there. For the most part, they were as concerned as i was.

Discouraged I slowly walked to the cafeteria to meet Alice.

"Oh my god, Jess," Lauren said as I turned the corner, "you will never guess what I heard about Bella!!"

"What?" Jess said coldly. "she flipped out and joined a biker gang?"

"close, she has been in with the school psychologist all morning. What is that the fifth time this year?"

"your kidding!"

"no I also heard from Jen that she was being sent to another school."

"Well good riddance, she has been a freak since we went to the movies in January. Who the heck walks into a biker bar?"

"No wonder he left her."

I quickly turned the corner determined to find out what Alice knew.

I have often wondered if my life could get any worse. I was ok with not being able to walk on a flat stable surface without tripping and falling. I was ok with the near death experiences, even without Edward here to save me. However I was not ok with my current humiliation.

"Now Bella," Mrs. Keyes said in her annoyingly nasal voice, "you can tell me if you are being abused by your boyfriend. I just want to help you. We all care about you here."

"I am not now, nor have I ever been abused by my boyfriend. I don't even have a boyfriend and I haven't since last September. And I think if I was abused, my father the chief of police, would already know about it." I had been trying to convince her of this fact for the last twenty minutes.

"Well I understand that you might be uncomfortable tell me these things, but I encourage you to talk to someone while you are at your Aunt's house. Here is some information on counselors and therapy groups for you to look through." she said handing me a file to add to my stack of papers.

"Can I ask you a questions, Mrs. Keyes?"

"Of course you can."

"Why do you think someone is abusing me?"

"Well your teachers have approached me on several occasions to document unexplained bruises, sprains, and broken bones. You always give the same excuses: you fell or you tripped. We-."

"did it ever occur to you that I might have been telling the truth? I urge you to talk to my gym teacher about my natural clumsiness. Now if you will excuse me I have some papers to get signed so I can leave. I am going to miss my Ferry to Seattle."

Quickly I gathered my papers and practically ran out the door. Thankfully I tripped over my own feet as I was leaving.

poor Bella

"Alice," Edward said dropping his books on the table. "What are you hiding from me?"

"Edward, I am not going to tell you. I will tell you that you need to go to biology class today, and you need to make sure you talk to Bella before she leaves today. Its really important Edward."

"Why?"

"Because. Just do it."

"Fine. Listen, we need to do something about Lauren and Jessica. I heard them talking in the hallway. They said that Bella spent the morning in the school counselors office. Bella wouldn't want that to get around."

"I am on it." I said with an evil little smile on my face. "I knew just how to get even with those two."

Ok here is the next chapter...reviews anyone?
