Bella's POV

I opened my eyes and felt like closing them again. I haven't had sleep in over twenty-four hours, urgh, I closed my eyes, I need sleep. I felt something on my head, a hat? Why the hell was I wearing a hat in bed? I took ripped it off my head and threw it somewhere across the bedroom. I heard russling of paper and quickly opened my eyes. I saw Edward Cullen going through my compositions. Was I dreaming or something? What the hell was he doing in my fucking room? I took the KA BAR from my boot and slowly stood up as he didn't notice me waking up.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I said holding the knife behind my back.

"Excuse me?" he looked confused but I'm sure I was a little bit more confused than him.

"I said, what the hell are you doing here," I tried to stay as calm as possible. I held on tightly to the knife just in case Cullen became a threat.

"I was just making sure you woke up okay,"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Don't you remember?"

"Remember what?"

"Earlier you had a panic attack in Biology, so I took you home and you kind of collapsed on me earlier, do you seriously not remember?"

"I don't know have a fuck what you're talking about, Cullen. But you need to leave. Now," he looked stunned as I said this and slowly retreated from my room. I followed him down the stairs to make sure he actually left and kept my eyes trained on his hands in case he made a move. I held the KA-BAR ready behind me, not sure whether Cullen could turn into a threat as he left the house. After he had drove away, I noticed that my Audi wasn't there. What the fuck? I locked the doors and headed back to my room. Panic attack? What the hell was he talking about? Why was Cullen in my room anyway? And why was he looking through my music?

I grabbed a bottle of vodka and drunk about half of it. I still couldn't get over the fact that Cullen was in my room. I didn't feel tired any more, especially after the alcohol and the little incident with Cullen. The phone started ringing and I went down the stairs wondering who it could be.

"Hello?" I said as I answered the phone.

"Hey Bella, it's Charlie, I was just calling to make sure you're okay, I heard about what happened in your Biology class," he said. What? Cullen was right? Something did happen in Biology.

"Erm yeah, yeah I'm fine,"

"That's good to hear, the school nurse told me to check up on you, she said that Edward Cullen took you home, is that right?"

"Yeah, I guess, he went about ten minutes ago though,"

"Did he look after you?"

"Yeah, erm, he did," I wasn't really sure if he did or not. He was nice enough to take me home and that, so I spose he did.

"Good, people don't give that kid enough credit. Anyway, I forgot to tell you, but you actually have a shift at the local cafe tonight, should I cancel?"

"No, it's fine, I'm feeling a lot better," Charlie explained where I was working, how long my shift was and how to get there. At least it will keep my mind busy so I didn't have to keep thinking about Cullen. I put the phone down and started to get ready for work. Charlie said that all I need to wear was some black trousers, it didn't matter what top I was going to wear as they would provide one for me. I turned on some music on my stereo while I was getting ready. I left the house forgetting that my car wasn't there, but it had turned up. I got in the audi, and saw my keys on top of a note on the seat.

Hope you are feeling better.

I drove to cafe whilst listening to Nerve by Soilwork. When I arrived, I asked for Brian Wood whose going to be my boss. A waitress with curly blonde hair sent me round the back. I walked through the busy kitchen to the office at the back. I knocked on the door and heard a "come in". A friendly looked man looked up from some paperwork at me.

"Hello, Miss Sparrow, I've heard a lot about you," mmm I'm sure you have, I thought. "Please take a seat," I sat down and examined my boss, normal average middle-aged man, innocent looking, smile friendly and clearly an optimist. Married with a few children perhaps, hasn't hurt a fly in his life, likes to cook which inspired his ambitions to own his own restaurant.

"Have you done any catering work before?"

"Yes, quite a few times actually,"

"Oh that's excellent, one of our waitresses fell pregnant last week and has actually moved to California with her husband, so we'll be needing the extra pair of hands," he said laughing, what that meant to be a joke? I smiled slightly at him, thinking about my own pregnancy.

"With your experience I hope you can get straight into working on the main floor, you know serving customers, taking orders, blah blah blah," fuck this man was irrating. I hated it when people tried to be personal with jobs, it doesn't work!

"I'll let you get on with your work then, good luck," I got up from my chair and was about to leave before he interrupted me.

"Oh, I almost forget, here's your t-shirt, there's a bathroom in the room opposite where you can get changed, " he handed me the top and I closed the door on my way out. I got changed in the bathroom in the t-shirt which simply said in white fancy writing "Forks Diner". I walked out to the dining area where I greeted by the curly blonde-haired girl who was my supervisor. She told me how everything worked and what to do before giving me a writing pad and a pen. I got used to it very quickly and after an hour I was bored. Forks Diner was naturally busy, being the only cafe in this small town. My supervisor was called Aimee, she was nice I guess but if she died it wouldn't make me upset.

It was about half seven, and I had only a two and a half hours left of my shift, halfway through. Aimee and myself were the only waitresses left as the other had gone home ill. We coped fine, until Aimee had to leave because her dog had escaped the house. Lovely. I rushed around the dining area serving customers and clearing down tables. I felt my heart stutter as I saw Edward Cullen again. Stupid heart, shut up! I tried to give reasons to myself why my heart just stuttered, maybe because I saw him early as a threat and my body is just warning me that he could be one. Yes that was it, I hoped.

He was sitting alone at a table, searching through the menu. Was it me or did he seem sad? I didn't want to serve him, but without any other waitresses, I had to. I cursed Aimee's dog and walked over to his table.

"What can I get you?" he didn't look up from the menu as I said this.

"I'm not ready to order yet, thanks," he raised his head and his eyes were on mine as he finished. I looked down at my pad refusing to make any more eye contact.

"Okay, I'll come back later," I quickly said. I tried to walk away but Cullen grabbed my arm. I felt strange electric currents flowing around me at his physical contact.

"Did you get your car back okay?" he said still holding onto my arm.

"Yes, tell Alice thank you, if you'll excuse me," I pulled my arm away from him and walked off. Out of sight from Edward, I covered my face with my hands. Something about his touch was definitely not normal, it almost filled me with energy and life. I strangely felt happier too. I wasn't you know laughing all smiles happy, I was just content instead of depressed. I'm probably turning Bipolar, I thought. I already have adjustment disorder and severe Dysthymia but manic depressive illness?(another name for bipolar disorder)

I headed back out to the dining area only to see Lauren sitting on the same table as Edward. I don't know why but I felt a strange surge of anger go through me. No it wasn't jealousy, it was that both of them were sluts, one of them just happened to be male. I watched her plastic face covered with make-up attempt a smile, eww how could he even look at her without barfing?

I cleaned a couple tables before sadly going to Edward and Lauren's table.

"What can I get you?" I said, I wasn't sure where to look. I wasn't going to look at Edward because of his stupid eyes and I wasn't going to look at Lauren because her face made me feel like throwing up all over her. Decisions, decisions. I'll just look at the menus.

"Eww, there's that goth, tell her to go away Eddie," her nasal voice was going to make me throw up aswell.

"Yeah, Eddie, do you want me to go away?" I teased.

"Eddie?" Lauren said, or should I say the slutty stereotypical judgemental bitchwhore said.

"What?" I saw his head go down to look at the menu and said "I'll have the mushroom ravioli please."

"I'll have a salad," she said "and hurry up I don't want it to get cold." No wait, the STUPID slutty stereotypical judgemental bitchwhore said. You don't cook salads, so they can't get cold can they? How could Cullen date such a stupid bitch? Surely he would go out with someone with some intelligence.

I gave the order and cleaned down a few more tables. I collected the salad and the ravioli when it was done and walked to Lauren and Edward's table.

"What the hell! You can't break up with me, I'm LAUREN MALLORY for god's sake, NO ONE dumps Lauren Mallory," I heard Lauren screaming as I approached their table.

"Well, err, Lauren Mallory, I just did," Edward replied slightly smugly.

"Why? Is there someone else?"

"I think there is," The table went silent as I placed the mushroom ravioli and salad on the table.

"Is there anything else I can get you guys?"

"No, thank you," Edward said to me. Lauren surprisingly remained silent. Soon after Lauren left and Edward ate his mushroom ravioli without her. I was really glad Lauren got dumped, the thought of the "I'm LAUREN MALLORY for god's sake" made me laugh. When he finished, I gave him the check and cleaned his empty plate and the bowl of salad that was untouched.

"Thank you, Bella," he said smiling at me, I couldn't help but smile back. I mentally scolded myself for that. He is still a manwhore. I wonder who that someone was though? The way he said it made me think he really liked her.

"No problem," I replied. I was about to take his dirty dish and Lauren's full bowl of salad back to the kitchen before he interrupted me again.

"Wait," he said. I turned around and watched him stand up.

"Do you wanna sit with us again tomorrow?" Why not? The Hales and the Cullens were nice company and they made me smile. No one else made me smile.

"Sure," I told him. I headed back to the kitchen and continued my work. The rest of my shift was uneventful. I was still buzzing from Edward touching my arm. I wonder if he felt it too? Or maybe he was just giving me a nice feeling electric shock?

I drove back to Charlie's house slowly, I didn't want to go there. Going there meant my room and more specifically my bed. After apparently having a panic attack and not having sleep for nearly two days, I knew the nightmares would be more vivid than ever.

Surprisingly Charlie was already asleep when I got in. You could hear his snores from the front door. I crept upstairs and shut my bedroom door. I was quite glad that the day was over but I was dreading going to sleep. I sat on the window sill looking out onto Forks. You couldn't see any stars, the clouds hid them. I took out a fag and started smoking with the window open. The cold air whipped around me making a shiver tumble down my spine.

I got into bed shattered from the day and drifted into a horrific nightmare.
