Chapter 7

I stared at him open mouthed. He turned away again, sobbing.
'Is she at the hospital?' Edward asked him. Sam nodded.
'Why aren't you there with her?' Emmett asked.
'They wouldn't let me, ok?' he shouted. 'They don't know if she'll live,' he muttered to himself disbelievingly.
'I'm really sorry,' I whispered patting his back, he shrugged me off.
It was at that moment that the Dean came rushing out of his office and bringing Sam in. The Dean looked stressed, well, no wonder I suppose, what with two students having been attacked, one…dead. I felt sorry for him.
'Let's go,' Jasper said. We all walked off to my room again.

Everyone was quiet and almost empty of life when we arrived back, I just sat on my bed staring blankly at the wall. Alice lay beside me and Rose sat in the corner, her arms wrapped around her knees, she was rocking slightly. Emmett brought a chair up to the door and sat there, when we asked he said he wasn't going to let anyone come in through the door to get us. Jasper sat on the small couch I had in my room and picked up the paper and put it on his lap, he stared without seeing at the front page. Edward sat beside me on the other side, rubbing my back. I think I did like him almost maybe love him, the way he cared for me through all of this. I sighed. Rose sniffed and stood up.
'I'm hungry,' she whimpered. There was a knock at the door, Emmett answered it.

'Hey guys, is someone hungry? I brought cookies,' Star said holding out a plate of steaming hot, wonderful looking chocolate chip cookies. Star was a great friend of mine, we'd met in our first week. She was majoring in Music but she had clicked right away. She was a little unsure of people she didn't know but that made her friendship all the more valuable. I smiled.

'Thanks, Star, how are you?' I heard Jasper ask.

'I'm as good as I can be what with all this going on,' Star replied.

'Do you want to come in for a few minutes?' I asked coming over to the door. She smiled at me and walked in, setting the cookie plate on the floor. The guys literally fell over it.

'Been to many parties lately?' Rose asked sadly and quietly from the corner. At least she was talking, I thought.

'Yes, there was this great one over the other side of campus. Rose, you would have loved it. Music, alcohol, partying 'til the early hours, it was last Friday,' Star laughed, I was glad she was here. It could lighten the mood a little. Star was Australian but after being here, her accent had faded to almost nothing. Star's smile suddenly faltered.

'I hate being alone in my room at the moment, I'm scared that it's going to be me next,' Star admitted weakly, slouching onto my bed. I put an arm around her and hugged her; she had no family here apart from her cousin who wasn't the nicest of people. I've met him. He was outraged when Star came to NYU; he wanted to cancel her scholarship! Star pulled through though and was one of the friendliest people around, very popular. Her boyfriend lived off campus in a very small apartment that Star was moving into at the end of the year. I would miss her, oh well.

'I better go and finish my essay on…whatever it was!' Star said, getting up and taking at look at the plate of cookies, well, there were none left. She tutted but smiled.

'Hungry, guys?' she asked. They nodded. Star laughed and picked up her empty plate, she was a marvellous chef, and then she left after kissing us girls on the cheek.

'Bella, would you make me some sandwiches, please? The boys ate all the cookies,' Rose whispered, a little happier.

I nodded and got to me feet heading to the kitchenette. I pulled out some bread and sandwich food. I made enough sandwiches for all of us and set the plate on the floor.

'I think they're linked,' Emmett announced, there was no point asking what he meant it was obvious. I shrugged indifferently, it didn't matter if the two attacks were related or not, we were still under threat from an unknown person maybe even a student.
'I don't know about that but all I know is that I'm scared,' I said taking a bite out of a sandwich and chewing it slowly.
'You don't need to be scared, you've got me, your brother and Emmett, I suppose,' Edward comforted me. I smiled a little and lay back on the bed. Alice stood up.
'I'm going shopping,' she announced and walked out quickly. Jasper followed her, he didn't want her out on her own.
'Bye,' I said half-heartedly. We sat in silence for a few minutes, then my cell rang. The caller ID read: 'Angela' I put it to my ear.
'Hey Bellie,' she laughed.
'Hey Ange,' I sighed.
'What's wrong?'
'There's been two attacks here, haven't you heard?'
'Oh that was at New York University! I had no idea. Someone died, didn't they?'
'Yeah, I saw her before the ambulance and police came. It was Jessica Stanley.'
She snorted.
'Really? Well, that girl may have had it coming!'
'How can you say that?'
'What?! Calm down, Bell. I'm sorry but you know how much she hated me and bullied me. I'll be down there with you by Saturday and Ben's coming too,' she finished. 'Anyway gotta go, see you soon.'
She hung up, I felt bright red with anger, I threw my cell down my bed and my hands bunched into fists.

'Are you ok?' Emmett asked from where Rose was sitting on his lap. I shook my head, gritting my teeth. Edward rose from the couch to hold me but I gave him a look that made him shrink back. I took some deep breaths and composed myself.
'I've just got a headache,' I mumbled, Edward went into my bathroom and grabbed my headache pills from the first aid kit and gave me a glass of water to get them down with. I took it gladly. I did actually have a headache, I wasn't lying. I lay down on my bed and closed my eyes. Sleep came quickly.

I woke up to my phone ringing again. I made an un-female noise and stretched out. I looked at the clock, those two had been out for four hours, I knew how Alice got when she was worried but this was pushing it. Her credit card should have run out and Jasper's too! Edward handed my phone to me. 'Jasper' the caller ID read this time. I was glad, I was getting worried myself. I smiled at him and flipped it open. It was quiet at first but then I could hear sirens and became quickly alert.

Mwahahahahahaha!!!! What's happened? Is someone hurt? Is someone dead? Only I know and I might give you a hint if you review!!!

Lots of love guys,

Beth
