Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, because if I did, I would kill Jacob off. :P

I dedicate this chapter to Loulabelle. Happy late 18th birthday! :D

Looking Into Your Eyes - Chapter 10.

EPOV:

I watched Bella as she ran out of my house.

I sat back down and ran a hand through my already messed up hair.

Why did she keep doing this?

It was so frustrating to keep up with this girl.

First, we were being romantic, then she was ignoring me, then we were supposed to be friends and now it's back to ignoring me again.

Maybe she's bipolar.

I shrugged to myself and gathered up all the blankets and pillows and returned them to their right rooms.

I went into the kitchen and sat down at the table, pouring myself a bowl of cereal, when Alice walked in with Rosalie.

"Hey Edward, where's Bella?" Alice asked, sitting down at the table opposite me.

"She went home this morning, I'm guessing." I shrugged.

"When?" Alice asked again, starting her interrogation.

I rolled my eyes. "I don't know, Alice! 50 minutes ago, maybe?"

I didn't miss Alice and Rosalie exchanging glances.

God knows what they were upto this time.

I could only hope that it had nothing to do with me.

I finished off my cereal and put my bowl and spoon in the dishwasher.

"I'm going to go up to the spare room and do my own thing. Have fun with your plotting!" I said, trying to get away before they could involve me.

"Oh, Edward!" Rosalie called after me.

"Yes, Rosalie?" I called back.

"Emmett's staying with me for the rest of the week, so if your parents ask.."

"Yeah, yeah, I know. He stayed at here the whole time."

Rosalie laughed. "Thanks Edward!"

I nodded and ran up to my room.

I shut the door behind me and ran over to my bed.

I sat on top of the blanket and pulled out my iPod, placing the earbuds in my ears and let the comforting my mind, body and soul.

Before I knew it, I was succumbing to a dreamless sleep.

I parked my Volvo into the school parking lot promptly at 8:15AM. (A/N: At school here, we start at 9AM (but I always come in at 9:30AM, heh. But yeah, the point is, I'm basing it from my time schedule.)

The roads were particularly icy this morning, so I decided it was better to get there early than my usual time and get in a car crash.

It was hard going under 100mph, I could barely stand it.

I sat in my car, listening to music, hoping to drown out all the annoying voices of the preps surrounding the parking lot.

When it was nearing to 8:45AM, I got out of my car and saw Bella's ugly red truck park very far from my own car.

I chuckled at the thought. She was obviously trying to avoid me.

She stepped out of the car and put her bag on the hood on her truck, trying to look for something.

Then, she turned her head and looked straight at me.

I knew I should feel guilty for staring at her when I was miles away from her, not even talking to her.

But still, I just couldn't look away.

We continued at each other for, I don't know how long, but it was almost like she was trying to see through me. To see what I am all about.

Like I had a secret she was dying to find out.

Finally, she turned her head and continued digging through her bag.

I decided to get up the courage to walk over to her and ask could I walk her to her first class.

I was about 5 feet away when I heard it. The honking of a loud horn.

I turned around and saw Tyler's van out of control - heading straight for Bella.

I acted without thinking. There was only one thought echoing throughout my mind.

Not her.

I ran straight for Bella, lifting her body and pushing her and myself out of the way before the truck could touch us.

We landed on the cold, wet ground with my body covering hers.

CRASH!

The sound of a loud crash echoed throughout the lot.

I looked up and saw that I had saved both mine and Bella's life.

Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for Bella's ugly red truck.

At least it had been put out of its misery.

I climbed off of Bella and slowly pulled her up.

Bella was looking at her crushed truck and Tyler's van, with wide eyes.

I looked back at Bella's truck and Tyler's van and turned my head back to Bella, and she turned her head to mine at the same time.

I couldn't think of anything to do or say. I just sat there, staring at her.

And she did the same.

Her facial expression was different than it was usually was - she was staring at me like I was her Superman.

"Bella! Bella! Bella!"

The frantic voices of our fellow students echoed throughout the parking lot.

I saw students and teachers rushing towards us.

I let go of Bella's waist, sitting her down on the ground, and ran.

I ran to the inside of the school, ignoring the puzzled looks from my brother and cousin.

BPOV:

MY TRUCK!

My truck was gone, smashed by Tyler's van.

But now looking at it, it could've been me.

I was saved. By.. Edward.

I turned my head back at Edward and he turned his at immediately the same time.

My hero. He saved me.

I tried to will some words to come from my mouth, but they wouldn't come.

I barely heard everyone screaming my name and rushing towards us.

Edward let go of waist and set me on the ground properly.

All I could do was watch him as he ran from and into the school.

I wasn't present at all when teachers and students rushed down to my body, helping me up.

I heard everyone asking me was I okay, and I just nodded.

They all rushed to Tyler's van and called the paramedics.

Tyler definitely got it worse than I did. So much blood.

I held my nose so that I wouldn't faint.

When the paramedics came, our school principal signalled us for to go to our classes.

The rest of the day pretty much went smoothly.

Apparently Tyler would live.

Edward and I didn't talk to each other; we just stared at each other for the duration of the day.

The final bell signalled us to leave and I went to use the the girls' restroom before I left.

I was shocked at what I saw on the walls in the cubicle.

In permenant black marker was: "Bella Swan is a bitch. Bella Swan is a liar. Bella Swan needs to go to hell. Bella Swan better stay the hell away from my boyfriend."

I sighed. Only one guess at who could've wrote all of that.

I sat down on the seat and saw a drawing on the door.

A figure who I suppose was me. And my figure was being pulled and attacked by shadows, of (I'm guessing) the other girls of the school.

I sighed again and rolled my eyes.

I walked out of the restroom where I saw Jessica and her fellow minions look at me with evil glares.

"So, Bella, did you enjoy my wall art?" She poked me and laughed, while her minions called.

I was about to respond when I saw Edward walk towards us.

Great, I thought, he's going to do the same.

"Hey, girls, what's going on here?" His velvet voice echoed around us.

"Not much, Eddie! We were just, like, warning Bella here to, like, stay away from you." Jessica smiled.

Edward's eyebrow rose. "And why would you do that?"

"Because, like I told her. You're, like, my boyfriend. But she won't, like, stop!"

I saw Edward roll his eyes as he walked towards me and wrapped an arm around me.

All the girls, of course, gasped at that.

Me? I blushed.

"Jessica, you are not now and will never be my girlfriend. Leave Bella alone." Edward said.

All four of her minions, and Jessica herself, narrowed their eyes at both of us.

He pressed his lips to my forehead. "C'mon Bella, let's go."

I just nodded and followed him to the outside of the school.

"Thanks for that, Edward." I said, smiling.

He smiled back. "No problem. It was true. Jessica has this deluded illusion that I'm her boyfriend."

"So she's not your girlfriend?"

"No!" Edward nearly shouted.

I giggled.

"Did you really think she was?" He asked.

I nodded, and he laughed, hugging me close. "Silly Bella. There's only one girl I have eyes for."

I wasn't sure if I was supposed to hear the last part.

"Well, thanks Edward." I said, pulling away. "I guess I better go.."

I walked away toward the parking lot, then I remembered my demolished truck.

I heard Edward laugh behind me as he caught up.

"Since you clearly don't have a truck anymore, would you mind if I drove you home?" Edward asked.

I sighed. I had no other choice, really. "Sure."

We both walked to his Volvo, and when I went to the passenger seat, he opened the door for me.

What a gentlemen, I thought, as I stepped in.

"So," Edward started as he was driving, a little too fast for my liking, toward my house. "would you mind if I drove you to and from school? You clearly don't have car anymore, and I wouldn't want you walking to school by yourself."

"Are you sure? I wouldn't want to bother you. I mean, I could always catch a ride with Alice. Or not.." I said, thinking of the last time Alice drove me home. We had to stop at the mall before we made it to my house.

Edward chuckled. "Of course, it's no problem, Bella."

We spent the rest of the car ride in comfortable silence.

Then, he pulled up to my house.

"So, I guess I'll see you tommorow." I said.

He leaned in slowly, taking my face in.

He took my hand gently and kissed it. "Tommorow."

He smiled a crooked smile and I stepped out of his car and walked towards my house.

I had a feeling Edward driving me to and from school should be interesting.

You didn't see that coming, did you? *laugh*

I guess the highlight this week was the Twilight movie, huh? We don't get it until December 19th. But I watched it.. somewhere.. *shifty eyes* what did you guys think of it? Good/bad?

This week was long for me. My emotional strength has been demolished. =/

My parents have left town for the next 3 days, and my brother has gone with them. So I have the house to myself. *grins*

My knee is all better now. *dance*

Oh, and I'm taking one-shot requests. It can be fluff, lemons, anythingggg. I like one-shots. They're addictiva. xD

I rant. ;D
