Hiaa guys! This is a new chapter (obviously!) I know most of my chapters aren't very long but I do try to make them as long as possible. Hope you like my new chapter. It's when they actually meet!
APOV
I managed to avoid Bella in the corridor and now I was sitting on my own in the dining hall. I didn't mind. I needed time to think anyway.
How could Bella do that to Edward? Why?
It was only at that moment I realised. She had been drinking his blood!
How was that possible? Of course there was that stupid myth. But that was exactly what it was. A myth. Untrue, made up. Whichever way you looked at it, it was still impossible.
I hoped.

I was making my way out of the class when a girl stepped in front of me, blocking my path. I looked up at her to ask her to move. She didn't give me the chance.
'Hey! I'm Jessica, and you are..?' She asked, using an odd high girly voice while twirling her hair in her fingers.
'Umm. I'm Edward.' I told her, hoping she would go away now. Apparently not.
'Oh! Hi Edward, do you want me to walk you to lunch? I could sit with you, if you don't know anybody yet.' She offered.
Something told me she was being a bit overly friendly.
'If you want, I was going to sit with my sister but you could join us.' Why did I say that? Why couldn't I say no and just walk away?
Jessica looked thrilled. 'Okay! Come on, the hall this way.' She told me just as she turned round and started walking. She was definitely being over friendly.
As we entered the dining hall I instantly looked around for Alice. I really needed to talk to her. I noticed she was sitting on her own at the back. I ignored Jessica and made my way to her.
She wouldn't look at me as I sat down. Her eyes were distant, naturally. She was such a dreamer.
'Earth to Alice.' I said waving a hand in front of her face.
She blinked rapidly as she focused and looked over at me. Her eyes were scared. But not for herself, for someone else.
'Hey Edward. How you feeling?' She asked uncertainly.
Wow. That was the biggest sentence she had said to me in weeks. 'I'm okay, you? You look scared.'
She gave me a smile that didn't reach your eyes 'I'm great! I made a friend in English. Did you make any?'
I ignored the last part. 'Who was that girl who followed you back to class?' No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get her out of my head.
Alice looked even more wary now. 'Oh! That was Bella. I wasn't feeling well so she was checking up on me. I'm fine now though.'
I froze. Alice not being unwell meant one thing. She saw something. But I knew I couldn't ask her now at school. I decided to wait till we got home.
BPOV
'Hey. There's my new buddy.' Jasper said lazily. I followed his eyes to the boy that I saw in Jasper's class. He had messy bronze hair and bright green eyes and a muscular body. I noticed he was sitting next to Alice. I got up.
'I'm going to talk to his friend.' I told Jasper, before making my way to the table.
Alice looked up and froze. Again. I wasn't that scary looking was I?
'Hey Alice. Are you feeling okay now?' I turned to her friend and smiled. He gave me a lopsided grin back.
'I'm fine thanks for asking Bella.' Alice said rapidly.
I looked back at her. She was staring at the boy with scared eyes. Her gaze moved to me and she did her best to smile.
'This is my friend Edward.' She added, gesturing to the bronze-haired boy. She had a small smile playing around her lips.
I turned to Edward frowning. 'Hello Edward, it's good to see that Alice has someone to sit with' I said with a polite smile.
Edward's reaction confused me. He suddenly burst into spontaneous laughter and shook his head. He spoke to Alice between chuckles. 'Come on Alice... Be nice to her...' He looked at me and did his best to put his face straight. It took a while but eventually he looked calm enough to speak properly.
'Please excuse my sister; she likes to play jokes on people.' He explained grinning at me.
Sister? But they looked nothing alike! I knew my eyes were popping with surprise. Alice and Edward seemed to be enjoying watching me. I was sure they must have got this reaction plenty of times before. I was looking at Alice.
She was smiling, actually smiling. I might have only met her today but it seemed scared and unhappy were the only emotions she could have. I knew there must be a reason for it, but I would wait till we were proper friends.
'Oh! I had no idea. I'm sure you get this all the time. So, who's the oldest?' I asked. Now that I knew they were related, I would have to get to know Edward a bit better.
Edward spoke. 'Me, but only by about 7 minutes, we're twins.' He was grinning again.
It was only then that the scent hit me; I was putting most of my attention into Alice that I didn't even notice.
It was like I had just set foot into a room filled with the sweetest smelling flowers, like a chocoholic finding the sweetest smelling chocolate bar. It was mouth-watering!
It was Edward.
I leaned towards him without really noticing, to whisper in his ear to meet me alone so I could hunt him, I couldn't stand this anymore.
The good, calm part of my head went into a panic, without even wanting to, I was projecting thoughts to Jasper. 'HELP! His scent! I can't stop myself!'
Edward was looking mesmerized. It would be so easy. I would ask him to meet me, and he would she up.
Just then a hand came down on my shoulder with a vice-like grip. I knew without looking it was Jasper.
I didn't care. The scent was everywhere, torturing me. I needed to have this scent out of my life.
Suddenly a mirror appeared in front of my face. I gasped at the sight.
It was an animal. That was the only way to describe it. The face was twisted. The eyes were hungry.
It was me.
A voice whispered into my ear. 'Don't Bella, look at the eyes, think of Carlisle, think of Esme!' Jasper spat into my ear.
I came back to myself with a start. Carlisle.
He would be so disappointed if I killed the human boy. He would still love me; I had no doubt about that. But I thought of what we had built up over the last few hundred years and felt ashamed, I was about to ruin all that because of my lack of self control.
And Esme, the mother any sane person would die for, she wouldn't care what I did, as long as I was happy. I thought about trying to look into her eyes for the rest of my existence knowing I killed because of two minutes of madness.
I looked at Jasper. 'Thank you.' I told him silently. I turned back to Edward. I tried to control the flames in my throat.
'Sorry, I'm not feeling very well, I'll talk to you another time' I said my excuse quickly and turned on my heels and fled, not doing a very good job to run at a human pace.
But I didn't have time to think as I sped home. I needed to leave. Now.
Please comment, It's my first fanfic and I would love to know what you think sorry it took me ages, I had major writers block ;)
