Congrats Kaylee on the concert last night, you could have told me it was that long.

Kaylee-Jenna? If apples on wire fences, do you think Jaspers do?
Me- For the last time. That apple had a sticker on it!!
Kaylee- The sticker grew there too.
Me- No.... No Kaylee, it didn't.
Kaylee- Grrrrrr! You don't own Twilight.
Me- (runs off crying)
Edward is going hunting. He's going to be back Wednesday morning, it's Monday and he'll be gone for two and a half days. He said he didn't have to go for so long, but I convinced him to go. Emmett and Jasper are taking him because the need a 'boys night' as Emmett put it.
I looked over at Edward and suppressed a sigh. Tonight would be my first night alone in the house. I didn't let my sadness show because I knew he would feel bad. He pulled into the drive way and turned off the car.
"There's some TV dinners in the freezer and I'm leaving my laptop so you can work on your paper. Were only going to be hunting about a hundred miles from here to I'm not that far." He said.
"Yes sir." I said mocking him because he sounded like a parent leaving their child behind. I was worried though. It had been two weeks since Caroline had made her little appearance. Ever since she ran out the house, we haven't seen or heard from her. Edward said that she had been thinking about going back to California and that if were lucky that a wolf or something had eaten her.
"Seriously Bella, I don't have to go. I can stay and just hunt nearby during classes." He said. I took his face in my hands and looked into his coal black irises.
"Go." I said sternly. "Another word out of you and I'm calling your brother." I smiled. Now I sounded like the parent.
He brought his lips to mine and blood boiled beneath my skin. There was a sudden tap on the car window. We pulled away to Emmett standing on the passenger side grinning ear to ear. He step back as I open the door and got out, blushing. I saw Jasper standing behind him, as stiff and as silent as always. He smiled at me and I smiled back.
Suddenly I was scooped in a tight bear hug and the world was spinning around. "I miss you back home, sis." Emmett said. "There are less things to laugh at when you aren't there tripping over everything."
"Emmett! Don't break her!" Edward yelled. Emmett laughed and spun faster. "Put her down!"
"As you wish, brother." Emmett said and then set me on my feet. I stumbled forward trying to get a grasp at the world moving around me. Edward caught me and held me steady until the ground stopped moving.
"Aw! Why'd you have to go and catch her? I wanted to see her trip. For old times sake." Emmett joked.
"It doesn't count if you make me dizzy first." I said. Emmett just laughed. "Besides, you should know, you just have to be around me for five minuets and I'll trip."
"So true." Emmett said. Edward glared at him. "We gotta get going, the bears are going to asleep soon!" He was beaming with excitement.
Emmett and Jasper got in the Volvo, Emmett in the front and Jasper in the back. Edward walked over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Don't hesitate to call me at any time." He said.
"Okay." I said. He kissed me, soft at first then rough. Too soon, he pulled away. "I love you." I said.
"I love you." He replied. He walked to the car and got in. The purr of the engine seemed to echo. Emmett, grinning, rolled down the window and stuck his head out.
"Bye Bella!" Emmett's booming voice echoed. Edward yanked Emmett back by his collar; Jasper chuckled in the back seat. I giggled and waved as the car back out and sped away from the house.
I walked back into the house. The tiny house was still and silent. The sun suddenly appeared and lit up the living room. I walked to the window and pulled down on the string that that pulled up the blinds. I looked up into the sky. It was blue and bright, a change from my old dreary town of Forks.
I walked into the kitchen and pulled my cell phone from my purse. My thoughts of Forks had reminded me of my parents. I punched in my mother number and she answered on the third ring. She was absolutely ecstatic to hear from me since I hadn't talked to her since the wedding. She pulled out the whole mother guilt trip deal on me. I told her about school, the house, how Edward was, what I thought about college and the one friend I had made here. I finally had to let her go with the excuse of homework and having to call Charlie.
My conversation with Charlie was a lot less emotional. I told him of the same thing I had told mom. He told me about work, his few fishing trips, and how he had been spending time with Sue Clearwater down in La Push.
"How are Seth and Leah?" I asked.
"Their fine, I guess." He said. "Don't see 'em much though. They're always out running around with Sam Uley."
"How's Billy?" I asked.
"Doing good. I don't know if I should tell you this but…"
"What Dad?"
"Jacob… came back." He said cautiously. I nearly dropped the phone at his words.
"Is Jake okay?" I whispered.
"Yeah. Tired, but yeah, he's fine." Charlie said.
"He didn't…" I started, "He didn't say anything about me did he?"
"Well, I don't know Bells," he sounded uncomfortable, "I haven't really seen him so…"
"Oh."
"Yeah, well, I should probably get going," he said, "its dinner time."
"For the love of God Dad, please, please don't burn down the house." I begged.
"Relax kiddo. I'm eating at Sue's tonight." He laughed at me.
"Oh okay. Maybe should do that from now on. You know for the sake of yours and the house's health and the sake of my sanity." I said.
"You know Bells, you really stress yourself unnecessarily. Well, call me in a few days. Love you kiddo." He said.
"Yeah, love you too dad." I said and hung up. I looked up at the window and it was dark out side. Had I really been on the phone that long? I know I hadn't been talking to Charlie that long. I must have got caught up in Renee's excitement and talked to her longer than I thought.
I dial a number I had memorized but hadn't called in awhile. It rang four times and a husky sleepy voice answered.
"Hello?"
I was quiet. I quickly hit the end button and snapped the phone shut. I walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. I hid my face in my hands. I was such a coward. A horrible coward who did nothing but her people she was close to. If Edward were here right now and knew what I was thinking, he'd probably yell at me for thinking so badly about myself. But how could I not think this when it was true. I sighed, tired.
I went upstairs and put on my pajamas and crawled into bed. I didn't care that it was still very early; I just wanted to stop thinking. I couldn't get to sleep. I tossed and until I rolled over onto my stomach onto Edward's side of the bed and pressed my face to his pillow. It smelled just like him. I fell asleep quickly.
I woke up the next morning I woke up, took a shower, and blow-dried my hair. After I got dressed I went down stairs and made myself some toast. I stood in the kitchen waiting for my toast and listened to nothing. I walked into the living room and turned on the TV to the news so there would be some noise. My toast popped up and began buttering it listening to the woman on the news.
"Although the killings have stopped in Seattle, the killer could still be at large. Over 48 were reported missing three months ago and not one body was found. Investigators believe that the killer has moved on. Police have notified other cities of the possibility that the killer could be in another city. Police-" I changed the channel.
Victoria is dead, I told myself. It was strange that I knew what really went down in Seattle that I knew that she was dead and so were the others and the killings would stop. I ate my toast, turned off the TV and went out my anti-danger magnet car and drove to campus.
After my first three classes, I met up with Kelsey for lunch. We approached a table that already had three people sitting there. Kelsey usually sat with them and I usually went home with Edward for lunch. "Bella, this is Peyton," she pointed to a girl with curly black hair. I smiled and she smiled back. "And Clint," she pointed at the guy with black hair, "And Jeff." She pointed to a heavy-set guy with brown hair. "Hi." I said.
We all began to eat and chat. I opened up my bag to get out my cell phone and found a brown lunch sack sitting on top. I hadn't put it in there. I pulled it opened it. Inside were a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a bag of chips and one of those kool-aid squirt bottles. At the bottom was a note and under the note was a brand-new iPod nano. I pulled them both out and read the note.
So Bella doesn't go hungry. We need to eat healthy if were staying human a bit longer.
Your awesome, amazing, super cool big brother,
Emmett
P.s. I had some music to the iPod. Enjoy.
I flipped the note over,
Bella,
I'm sorry. I tried to stop him, but you know Emmett. Also, Alice said to call her.
Jasper
I turned on the iPod and scrolled through the music. There was nothing but Lady Gaga. I shuttered. But there was one song that wasn't too bad. Claire de Lune. Geez, Emmett. Suddenly the note disappeared form my other hand and I looked up to see Kelsey reading it.
"Emmett and Jasper. Weird names. Who are they?" she asked.
"My brothers in law." I said and took the note back.
"You're married?!" she asked.
Crap. "Uh, no… I'm engaged." I said blushing.
"Oh. What does he mean by human?" she asked.
"Oh, it's just an inside joke."
"Well do you live on campus or what?" Jeff asked.
"I live in a little house a couple miles from here." I said. I looked at the time on my cell phone. "Crap. My next class starts in five minuets." I ran to my car.
Caroline's POV
I ran through the dense forest. Where was I going? Maybe I should just go back, kill them both and be done with it. Not much fun though. I stopped suddenly because I caught the familiar scent of… Edward Cullen. I quickly blocked myself from him and snuck behind him.
"Hi Edward. " I said in a friendly tone. He spun around ready to attack.
"Caroline." His voice was acid.
"No need for that." I said. He head rush through reason why I could be here. He though for a split second that maybe I killed Bella. But he quickly got rid of that thought be cause he had been talking to her though text message while she was in class. On cue, his pocket vibrated. I mad sure he didn't move and reached into his pocket to get the phone. I read the message quickly.
The professor is glaring at me for using my phone in class. I talk to you after class. Tell Emmett thanks for lunch and the embarrassment. Love you.
"How sweet." I said and released him. He snatched the phone from me and read the message quickly. I took advantage of the time and went into his head. I did this and that and it was easy to do what I did. Bella's in for a surprise.
