I was going to rip his pretty-boy head off. Did he honestly think that he could steal my girlfriend and then mock me afterwards? He was seriously screwed in the head if that's what he thought. I would find a way. I would ruin him too, one of these days.

I really didn't think anyone but Jasper and I could understand how amused I felt. Those thoughts that Mike Newton came up with… As if he could even hurt me! I was strongly tempted to see him try. That would be the best entertainment in all of my hundred years. That fact was slightly pathetic. I sat beside Bella in Biology class. She smelled irresistible but I was getting better. As long as I didn't breathe, I was fine.
She smiled at me slightly as I sat down. I smiled back. She blushed. I tried not to think about the blood that was gushing through her veins…
"Thanks again, Edward." Bella said.
The way that she said my name made 'Edward' sound different. It was more than a very old, uncommon name. It sounded nice the way she said it…
"No problem. I was glad to help." I smiled at her again.
And now he's hitting on her! I will kill him one day… I swear it. Cullen will pay. I chuckled slightly at Mike Newton's thoughts behind me.
Bella looked at me questionably. I just smiled at her again. She just blushed again. Mike's thoughts practically were screaming in my ear. I tried very hard not to torture him further.

I really felt like a different person. First, I went out with a boy that I had met on my first day here. And now? I think that I was beginning to fall for Edward's charm. It disgusted me greatly. What happened to the person that had never even liked a guy before? I felt like a completely different person. That was when the dreams started.
Mike was there. And so was Edward. They were yelling at each other. I'm not sure if I couldn't hear them properly or if they were speaking another language but they both seemed very angry. On top of the hill, they fought. Edward shoved Mike but Mike pushed him back. Edward stumbled backwards and was falling… falling into the black darkness to a certain death. I screamed to help him, but Mike just laughed and restrained me.
I woke up with tears streaming down my face. I had to be friends with Edward. I realised how much I needed to be.

I'm not sure what compelled me to do this. It was wrong and violated her privacy. I just wanted to see her again. I wanted to make sure she was all right, from the day's events. I sat down across from her in the rocking chair and watched her chest rise and fall steadily against the blankets. The smell was paralysing. I tried not to breathe.
I experimented a little bit, trying to breathe at small intervals, seeing if it was safe or not. I was getting better. She rolled over, facing me. I went rigid.
"Please don't go, Edward…" she murmured.
I was actually halfway out the window; I was so prepared for her to scream that I was in her bedroom. She rolled over again and started to breathe deeply. I sighed in relief. I crossed the room again and sat back down.
"I won't leave." I whispered.
She smiled. Bella was dreaming of me. I suddenly felt whole. I had never realised just how incomplete I been before this moment. But I was now whole. I smiled slightly. As did she. I truly did love Bella Swan. How could I inflict myself upon her? This was so wrong, so against nature, so unhealthy and terrible for her… but so very right for me. I wouldn't, I couldn't trade my happiness for her life. It was barbaric to even think about it.
I was worried. How could this work? How could I love Bella? How could I sit back and watch the other insignificant young men in this world hurt her? I could just be her friend. I could love her and protect her and be there for her. That's all that I could do. It was enough.
I had about one second to rush out the window. Bella sat up quickly with tears running down her lovely face. I was out the window before she could look around.

This was idiotic. How could Cullen steal everything from me? I wished that I could hurt him… in anyway possible. Erg. And Bella was just plain retarded. Who wouldn't want to kiss me? I was one of the hottest guys in school, for God's sake! He would pay.
