"Shawn" I breathed out and a smile crossed his face.
"Bella, long time no see," said Shawn. No, this could not be happening to me, he could not be here, with me!! He was supposed to be in Virginia, not here, in Chicago! I could not, possibly, see him. I ran out of there, as if it depended on my life (which it did) and ran to Emmett's Spanish class.
I knocked on the door, and the teacher gave me an annoyed look.
"Ms. Swan, can I help you?" she asked me clearly annoyed.
"Uh, yes, please. I need to talk to Emmett, it's an, uh, family emergency," I half lied; it was, after all, an emergency to me.
The teacher huffed angrily but let Emmett come with me.
"Bells, what is wrong?" he asked me concerned. I just kept pulling him with me to the parking lot and behind the school. I stopped abruptly, looked at Emmett directly in the eye, and fell to the ground crying. Emmett kneeled in front of me and gathered me in his arms, letting me stain with salty water his shirt. I cried for what seemed like hours, and then I started sobbing but no tears would leak. I decided I had had enough of this crying nonsense, wiped my tears, and looked at him straight in the eye.
"He's back," I mused. Emmett still seemed confused, not knowing who I was talking about.
"Who, Bells, who is back?" he asked me in a worried tone. One lonely tear escaped my eye, as I said:
"Shawn Thomson," I whispered afraid. Emmett's expression changed instantaneously from one of confusion, to one of shock, hate, anger, and protectiveness. That was the second time in my life I had seen Emmett so… so dark, in a way. Normally, even when he was mad, there it would still be a hint of carelessness, happiness, or even humor. Now, there was not one trace of either one. And I had to say, it scared me to see my teddy-bear like this.
"That fucking bastard… that son of a bitch!" Emmett bellowed. His fists clenched and I thought I saw his vain in the forehead pop out.
"Emmett, I…. I-I am s-scared," I admitted. That was the first time in my existence I had admitted to anyone being scared, not even when that happened to me in Virginia.
"Don't worry baby, I won't let that bastard touch you ever again," he said in a serious voice. He hugged me in his bone-crushing hug, and then, I felt safe. Because I knew that no matter what happened, I would always have Emmett, my big teddy-bear, to watch over me. Even when my mom was still alive, I loved Emmett best. He has been, always, my favorite person in the whole world. He was always there for me, in the good and bad times; he would never let anyone hurt me. He would make me laugh, smile, angry, mad, playful, sad; all sorts of emotions, good or bad, and I loved him for it. He knew me like no other, and I would never be able to show Emmett my thankfulness enough. My one regret: I always acted like I didn't care about him. Well, that was about to change.
"Emmy, you know I love you right? And that y-you are the best brother a girl could have? And that if I could wish for one thing, it would be to be blood-related to you? You are my b-big teddy-bear, and my favorite person. You know so, r-right?" I asked him. He looked like he was about to cry. I was never a touchy-feely kind of girl, so you will understand his shock when after 16 years of knowing each other, I tell him for the first time I love him (in a brotherly-sister kind of way) and he is my favorite person.
"Belly, I love you too. I would also wish to be your biological brother, though I like to think of myself as so. You are, too, my favorite person in this world," he told me with a bright smile. I hugged him, hard, not only because that was the first time I had heard him say something so serious and nice, but because I was glad he was my brother.
"Come on, Bells, the bell rang, you have World history now, and I have Biology, we don't want to be late," he said to me, and gave me a smile which did not quite reach his eyes. I nodded, and made my way to World History.

I was so worried about Bella. She practically had an emotional break-down back there. I had never seen her so vulnerable, not even when that happened. For crap's sake she told me she loved me! I had never heard Bella say that to me, normally the best I could know of her feelings toward me were death glares. And that she actually wished I was her real brother… I was touched. She hated spending time with me, talking to me, anything to do with me constantly. And even though I would never admit it to her, it hurt.
"Dude, what's wrong? Why did you skip Spanish class?" asked me Jasper, breaking me out of my reverie. He was a senior like me, and we had practically all of our classes together. Rose (cue to sigh) was the same age as Jasper. It was just that Jasper skipped 3rd grade so now Rose is a junior and Jasper a senior.
"Oh, just a small… inconvenient. Family emergency, it had to be dealt with then," I said my voice seething with hate. That inconvenient was called Shawn Thomson.
"Dude, you ok?" he asked me with an eyebrow raised.
"Yeah, just thinking of my new X-BOX 360. Dude, want to come today to my house and play some Halo?" I asked him trying to forget about that bastard. Please bring Rosalie too…
"Sure, I'll bring Rose, knowing she'll beg to be with Bella," he told me with a smirk. Oh, that smirk was not good…

When I got to World History, I saw Edward seating by himself on the table. I walked quickly, tripping of course, but got there.
"Hey, Edward," I greeted him.
"Hey Bella," he flashed me my favorite crooked smile. I am guessing he saw my blood-shot eyes, but decided not to say anything right now. Good choice…
World History went by quickly, and before I knew it we were walking to lunch. Edward and I headed to the line of the cafeteria to buy some lunch. We scanned the room, and found Alice and Jasper talking animatedly, and Emmett and Rosalie talking; I felt bad when I looked at Emmett because he still looked worried.
"Hey guys," I greeted them. They all responded with big smiles, though the smile I wanted to be the biggest, Emmett's, did not reach his eyes.
"Okay, so, what was the big Swan emergency?" asked Jasper boldly. I blushed; I really did not know what to do. Tell them the truth, or keep them safe by letting them keep ignorant.
"Uh… I don't think it is… safe for you to know," I said and Emmett nodded.
"What do you mean?" asked me Alice with a confused face. I motioned for them to come closer with my finger.
"It means I can't take the risk of you knowing and getting hurt," I told them sadly but harshly. I didn't know what I would do if something happened to them because of me. I had only known them for 4 days, yet I loved them all like family (Edward even more… shut up, sub-conscious!).
"I don't get it," said Rosalie.
"Rose, it means, if you know what it is going on, the chances are high that you'll get hurt. And Bella and I don't want to risk your lives," Emmett told Rose sweetly.
"Bella, you need to tell us, so that we can help you," said Edward for the first time. Everybody else nodded eagerly. I looked at Emmett asking him silently if we should tell them. Emmett shook his head.
"Look, I am so sorry, but we can't tell you yet. Please, trust us when we say it is for the best. When everything is dealt with, we will tell you all," I told them sadly. They nodded defeated and kept going on with the conversation.
The rest of the afternoon passed by uneventful, and it was time to go home. I was walking behind the school to get faster to the parking lot, when suddenly I was pushed against the wall. My breath caught in my throat, and I felt I could not breathe. Standing in front of me, was Shawn.
"Hey baby, missed me?" he asked me. I was seething with anger and kept trying to get free, but he wouldn't budge.
"Bad girl, I only wanted a few words with you. Look, you bitch, you are mine, count on it. And I will do everything, to get you again. And you know I mean everything," he whispered the last part in my ear. Then, with no warning, he kissed me. I hated how he tasted, looked, everything about him. I squirmed trying to get away, but again, he wouldn't budge. I heard a gasp, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Edward. He looked crushed, and I wanted to comfort him, but Shawn would not let me go.
"How could you, Bella? And to think I liked you," he said in a hurt voice. He looked at me again, and ran away from there, and from my life. He liked me? Finally Shawn let go of me, and with a smirk, he walked away.
I was left there, crying, and with the pouring rain.

I could not believe Bella would do something to me like that. I did not like her, I loved her! And even though we had a date tomorrow, she still goes and makes out with the new dude! My heart was broken, my clothes were soaking, and I could not fight the tears streaming down my cheeks.
I arrived home, not daring to look my mother or Alice in the eyes, and ran to my music room. I sat in the bench, and started playing anything that came to mind, from Mozart to Beethoven. I felt a new tear fall down my cheek, and I stared into space, my mind only able to process one thought: 'How could Bella do this to me?'
"Edward?" asked Alice peering from the door.
"Yeah?" I asked in a small voice.
"What happened?" she asked me sadly.
"Everything, everything happened." I said.
"Whatever do you mean?" she asked.
I told her what I saw, of how I caught Bella making out with the new dude, even though I liked her, no, loved her.
"That bitch!" Alice fumed. In other circumstances I would have choked Alice to death for calling Bella that, but in that moment I was too sad to react. Alice noticed her reaction did not help, so she left me alone to pity myself alone.

I was going to kill Bella! How could she do this to my brother?! He loved her, damn it! I was going to have a quick chat with Bella. I went to the porch of the house, looked at the landscape before me, got in my car, and sped away to the Swan residence.
Hey! So... what did you think? Ohhh, what do you think of our dear mad Alice? Rememeber: Never get Alice angry if you want to live a tomorrow... Please review; good or bad, it's all for the best! :)
Alice: I'm going to KILL Bella... mwahahaha.
Me: No, honey, you will not. This is my story, not yours.
Alice: Oh... dammit. *sniff*
