Bella POV

Zach must have thought it was funny. He turned right around and slapped me. I didn't know my life would change forever. He always looked so familiar. He argues with me about every little thing.

The next day at school, I heard kids talking and whispering about the new kids.

The bronze haired kid is so hot!-Lauren

I know, have you seen the pixie like girl- Jessica

Chyeah! I would so tap that :]-Mike

My first two classes passed in blurs. It was lunch time. So Zach- wince- and I headed to the cafeteria.

I was barley listening to everybody's conversations. All of a sudden Zach spoke up, "So, Bella. What are you doing tonite?" he asked.

"Umm nothing?" was my brilliant answer, it came out more like a question than a statement.

"okay." Was the end of our conversation.

Biology came around, and one of the new kids was in my class.

The teacher finally introduced him. "Class, this is Edward Cullen. You may take your seat beside Ms. Swan." And that was that.

He took out a piece of paper, scribbled something down and slid it my way.

Hi, I'm Edward Cullen

I wrote back quickly.

I know. I'm Bella.

I think I saw a flash of hurt run through his eyes. He left me alone. After class, he caught up to me.

"So, tell me about yourself." He started.

"I'm Bella, and there is nothing you need to know!" I answered quickly. I hated being mean to people. I just couldn't let Zach see me talking to anybody. He would go crazy! I sure as hell did not want that.

"i-I'm sorry for bothering you then." He said, and turned quickly, and stalked off.

Ugh can this day get any worse?

I finally got home. Charlie wasn't there, normally he was, but sometimes he had to work late so I wasn't worried about it.

I went to my room and glanced at the clock, it was just 4:30. I fell on my bed, and when I woke, I realized it was 5. A 30 minute nap, might actually do some good. I went downstairs only to see that I was alone. I didn't mine the being alone part, it was just Charlie was suppose to be home. I started making dinner for Charlie, and there was a knock at the door.

I looked out only to see it was Marc from my dad's police house.

"Hey Marc. What brings you around?" I said.

"umm Bella, I'm afraid I have some bad news." My heart literally dropped into the pit of my stomach. My questions all came out like a freight train.

"what happened? Where's my dad? Is he alright?" I replied.

"Bella. Your dad was called to a job this morning, and it didn't in so well. There was a robbery this morning at the Newton's Sports Gear store, and your dad came in at the wrong time. He was shot. I'm so sorry. If there is anything I can do, let me know." First my mom, now my dad. I fell to the ground sobbing endlessly. I didn't know what I'm suppose to do. I had to figure out where I'd live, and everything like that.

"Did my dad say where I'm suppose to go? Who am I suppose to be staying with?" I really had to know.

"He mentioned you had a boyfriend. He suggested you stay there." OH my lord. Never in my life have I hated Charlie as much as I do now. He mite be dead! But screw him!

"Oh. Um, okay. How long do I have till I have to move in with him?" I replied.

"Till tomorrow, you are still only 17, underage, so you have to go. I'm so sorry for your loss Bella. Really. If you need anything , just call, ok?"

"ok." I mumbled.

I spent half the night packing. After Marc left, I called Zach. Of course he agreed. I went to bed around 2:30. I was tired as hell.

The next day at school passed in a blur. I didn't even go to the cafeteria to eat. I just wasn't hungry.

In Biology Edward noticed something was wrong.

"Hey I know we didn't get off to a good start yesterday, but I just wanted to know if you are ok?" he asked. He sounded like he actually cared. But I really can't let him get close. To hell with it. I need somebody to talk to.

"No, I'm not alright. My dad was killed yesterday." I answered in a hushed tone.

By then I was crying uncontrollably Edward asked if we could be excused.

"Of course" Mr. Banner had said.

We were sitting out in the courtyard, and I was almost done crying into Edward's chest.

"I-I'm so sorry. You don't need to be here. Just go back to class I'll be fine." I stated.

"Isabella- he started to say,

"Bella" I quickly interjected.

"Bella," he started again, " I do not care when, but you can always talk to me ok?"

"thank you so-" I started but I was quickly frightened when the sound of my name was being yelled.

"Bella! What the F*** do you think you are doing?" it was Zach.

"Nothing Zach" I mumbled quickly.

"come on!" he started yanking me away.

I figured he would have said something about earlier on the way to my house, or rather my old house, but he didn't.

"Get your stuff quickly." Was all he said. He didn't even offer to help. Jackass..

I managed to get all my stuff, and we headed to his place.

When we got all my things in, he demanded, yeah DEMANDED, me to sit.

"Now are you going to tell me about school, or would you rather keep you boyfriend a secret!? You cheating BITCH!"

""honestly! I didn't mean anything! I'm s-sorry!!"

"You ungrateful bitch!" I finally realized who Zach was.

"you thought you could run from me forever, well guess what, your precious mum, didn't kill herself!"

"Jacob." Was all I said before the darkness claimed me yet again.
