WOW! I got so many different opinions from my last chapter! Some want me to continue with the story, some want me to go on with EPOV! I think I'm going to start EPOV from when James transferred to the school and started dating Bella and work up from there. IMPORTANT: Edward did not break up with Bella because of Harvard! That was just his excuse for the rest of his family! When he's thinking: "I wish it were that simple" he's saying that he wishes that the reason he had to break up with Bella was as simple as the excuse he gave. Sorry for those of you that didn't understand, that's my fault.

EPOV

BEEP BEEP BEEP

Why the hell do they make alarm clocks so loud? At least Bella could- no she couldn't make my day better. She could never make me better. It had been awful having to glare at Bella during classes, but I figured that if she thought I didn't care about her anymore she would move on faster. I could see the fear in her eyes whenever she glanced my way, and it was all the more painful because I knew it was my fault.

When I got to school, I was expecting it to be like any other day: classes, lunch, classes, home. However I was surprised by the buzz of gossip circulating around the school about a new student named James. I froze in my place. No this couldn't be happening, James couldn't be here! There were thousands of people named James, it had to be another one. I ran around the school trying to find an unfamiliar face, all the time thinking, not here, not here, oh please God don't let him be here.

I continued my frantic searching until lunch time. I knew I would see him then. I searched every table with my eyes as I sat down at my seat, surrounded by my "friends" and then I saw him.

FLASHBACK

It was late at night. Tanya was leaning against me. This was before I knew Bella. We were waiting for a drug dealer that Tanya was friends with. We were having a party tonight and my stash was out.

Suddenly a dark figure emerged from the shadows in front of us.

"Hi James" Tanya said sweetly.

"Who's your friend?' James asked gruffly, pointing at me.

"This is my boyfriend, Edward. We have a party to get to may we hurry this up?"

"Do you have the money/" Tanya looked at me.

"How much?" I asked caustiously.

"2 thouand (I don't know how much drugs cost so work with me here)" I gulped.

"I have $1,500, is that O.K.?" James smirked.

"How about this, you take your pretty girl and the drugs back to your oh so special rich kid party and them tomorrow you deliver some weed for me. Deal?"

"Sure." I was just relieved he hadn't shot me.

"Wonderful" he smiled.

Years later I was still working for James. And although I hadn't been shot, I had seen him shoot enough people for a lifetime.

END OF FLASHBACK

If only Bella knew that I was breaking up with her so she wouldn't get hurt. If only she knew how dangerous James was.

I was startled into reality when I saw James get up from his seat and walk towards a girl. I wasn't really worried until I realized that the brunette he was headed towards was my Bella. I bit back a snarl as I watched him tap her on her shoulder. I wanted to scream at him to get his filthy hands off of Bella, but I knew that would only get us both killed.

I watched as they talked to each other. Biting my tongue every time she smiled at him. How could she not see that he was dangerous? But then it got worse. James motioned for Bella to come with him. As they walked out of the cafeteria, she looked at our table. She looked into my eyes for a moment and I tried to warn her, but I don't know what she saw in my green eyes.

As soon as they had walked out the door I turned to my friends.

"Come on let's go" and they gladly followed me out the door. Jessica and Tanya were fuming and I knew they had been planning how to ask James on a date. We found the in the deserted locker hallway. They were talking.

"I'm not deaf. Everyone is still talking about it." What was everyone talking about?

"Well…it didn't end well…I…I was pretty messed up over it." Oh my poor Bella. They were talking about how I had broken up with her. And it was all James's fault.

"I know, and I don't care. I still like you.'

"You do, really?" Why did she sound so surprised that a guy would like her? Half of the guys in the school were planning on dating her after I dumped her! But then she started kissing him and my world fell apart. I had never before felt so much pain and agony. I needed to make him stop touching her.

"Some people need to get to there lockers you know," I didn't know why I said it. It just popped out of my mouth, and it didn't even work. They stopped kissing but James held her more tightly in his disgusting arms.

"I'm so sorry Edward." She said sarcastically. "If you're so desperate that you have to watch other couples kiss, I'm sure Tanya will do in the Janitor's closet." I couldn't believe she had just said that. Did she hate me that much? The answer was yes. Then I realized that she had said "couple" referring to herself and James. My head was still reeling when Tanya spoke up.

"You're such a slut!" She screamed at Bella.

"Takes one to know one. And at least I didn't do my boyfriend's best friend under the bleachers while he was scoring the winning touchdown at a certain football game." I almost laughed at that one. I remembered that incident. The whole school was buzzing with the news for a whole month. Good come back Bella!

"You little b-" Tanya was cut off by Bella.

"See you later, we're going." And with that she grabbed James and left for her next class.

I needed to see Bella again. To make sure she was O.K. thank God we had our last class together…
