It's Monday morning and I'm really not looking forward to going into school today. I have a terrible headache due to staying up for most of the night thinking about all the pain that Edward is going through. Not only that, but I was worried about how Jessica was going to react when she saw me. After the whole Edward/Jacob incident at her party, I was afraid that she'd blame me for ruining it or something.

I reluctantly pulled into the parking lot and sunk down low in my seat once I had turned off the ignition. My eyes closed for a minute and I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down. All of a sudden someone tapped loudly on my front window and I flung my eyes open to find Mike smiling at me.

"Had a rough weekend eh?" He called out in his irritating voice.

I moaned in annoyance and grabbed my bag before slowly getting out of my truck. Why did this guy have to add to my problems? "It's not really any of your business" I finally answered his question as I walked past him in a hurry.

"Look, Bella I'm sorry. I don't mean to pry but after what happened at Jessica's party, are you still going out with that guy?"

I rolled my eyes and kept walking. Is he for real? Hopefully if I ignore him, he'll catch on and leave me alone.

Obviously not…

"Because if you are," He continued, quickening his pace to keep up with me. "I don't think that it's a very smart decision"

That's it! I've had enough! My head was still aching, and I've had enough of his stupid attempts to get me to go out with him "Is that so? Then what is a smart decision Mike? Going out with you instead?" It may have come out a little harsh, but he didn't seem to care.

Mike appeared deep in thought for a moment before looking me straight in the eyes. "Well actually…"

"Bella!" A high pitched voice called out, causing Mike to swear.

I didn't care who it was, I was just thankful that they stopped Mike from going any further. But when I turned around, I mentally cringed when I found Jessica bounding over towards us.

"Hey girl, how did everything go with Edward after you guys left my place on Saturday night?"

Ok she seemed happy enough. Maybe she wasn't pissed off at the whole party incident after all. "Oh, umm… fine"

"What do you mean 'fine'. I want details Bella!" She promptly linked her arm around mine and started pulling me through the parking lot. "Like are you guys serious now? Have you been hanging out all weekend? Has he kissed you yet? What was it like?"

"Jessica -" Mike loudly interrupted from behind us. "Some of us don't want to know the answers to questions like that"

Jessica scoffed in response and slipped her arm out from mine so she could playfully slap him on the chest. "Don't be silly Mike, I bet she can't wait to spill. Isn't that right Bella?"

Both of them turned their attention onto me, waiting for me to say something as I stood there feeling really uncomfortable. As I racked my brain for something to say, I noticed that a certain silver Volvo had just pulled into a spot over to our right. I smiled politely to both Jessica and Mike. "Sorry, I've got to go. I'll see you both later ok?"

Jessica squealed in delight and Mike groaned once he caught on that I was leaving them to go over to Edward. Ignoring them the best I could, I made my way over to where Edward was closing the door to his Volvo.

"Hey you!" I called out happily once I was within a decent speaking range.

He turned around quickly and smiled once he saw that it was me. "Hey yourself!"

I stopped in front of him and immediately noticed that he was grimacing at something over my shoulder. I quickly glanced back and found Mike glaring daggers at us.

"Oh, don't mind him. He's just jealous that's all" My words came out sounding rather casual.

Edward's eyes finally left Mike and landed on me. That gorgeous crooked smile of his slowly appeared on his face. "I don't blame him"

I laughed just as the school bell decided to ring. "So how are you?" I spoke softly as we made our way to class. "I was up all night thinking about you…"

He looked down at me with one raised eyebrow and a cheeky grin.

"Edward, don't you dare come up with some egotistical remark! I'm being serious and you know what I meant" I glanced over at him and saw his playful expression disappear.

He was quiet for a while as we made our way through a small crowd of people and climbed the stairs to get to our English room. When we were alone again, I took another glance in his direction and watched him run a hand through his hair.

"I've spent a lot of time thinking about it… And now that I've told you what happened, I honestly feel like a huge load has been lifted off my shoulders" We stopped outside the classroom and he turned to face me. "You have no idea how much it means to me when I hear you say that you worry about me, but I'm fine now… I'd just like to put it in the past and move forward"

I nodded and gave him a quick hug, smiling as I breathed in his lovely distinct scent. However, the sound of someone clearing their throat interrupted our moment and we quickly separated to find our teacher staring at us. I snickered quietly as Edward took hold of my hand and led me into the room. Mike's gaze instantly fell upon us once again, but I kept my head down and focused on the back of Edward's jacket.

It must have only been fifteen minutes into the lesson when someone knocked on the door. Our teacher stopped mid sentence and we all got a surprise when the principle stepped into the room. The bald headed principle said a few quiet words to our teacher before turning in to face the class.

"Edward Cullen, would you gather your belongings and come with me down to the front office right away"

My eyebrows shot up and I instantly spun around to face Edward. His face was as confused as mine as he slowly gathered his stuff together. I turned my head back to look at the principle and noticed that the whole class was facing our way.

"What on earth is going on?" I whispered quietly so only Edward could hear me.

"I'm not sure, but I'll be right back" Edward muttered quietly as he stood up.

I watched in silence as he made his way down the aisle, out of the room and out of my sight.

"Ok class, settle down" The teacher said before returning to the topic he was previously discussing.

My eyes remained wide open and I was in such a daze, that I hadn't noticed that Mike had crept over and taken Edward's vacant seat beside me.

"So what's up with Cullen?" He asked quietly, breaking me out of my confused state.

I shook my head and blinked a couple of times. "I have no idea… But I'm certain that he hasn't done anything wrong. Maybe it's got something to do with his timetable or something"

"Hmm. I have a feeling it's something a little more serious" Mike said as he looked over my shoulder.

"I beg your pardon?" I stared at him like he was a complete idiot.

All of a sudden, the horrible sound of chairs scraping on linoleum filled the room and the whole class rushed over to the windows. Mike jumped out of his seat as well and I quickly decided to follow after him. I reached the window just in time to see two police officers guiding Edward out of the school grounds. Everyone gasped and started chatting wildly among themselves about what they thought Edward was being dragged away for. Without thinking I grabbed my bag and ran as fast as I could out of the room and down the long corridor. I ran down the stairs three at a time, not even caring if I tripped.

When I eventually made it outside, in record time I must add, the principle was there and called out for me to stop. I ignored him and bolted down the path to where I saw the officers either side of Edward.

"Edward!" I yelled out as loud as I could. My voice sounded worn out from all the running I'd been doing.

After hearing my outburst, the two officers as well as Edward turned their heads around to look at me.

"Please, wait!" I called out but they turned their backs on me, dragged Edward towards the police car and quickly opened the door. One man put his hand on Edward's head and guided him into the back seat of the vehicle like he was a criminal or something.

I finally came up beside the police car and tried to get to the window to see him.

"Please step back Miss" One of the officers suddenly stepped in front of me, blocking my view.

"He hasn't done anything wrong! Where are you taking him?" I said frantically, moving my gaze onto the large man standing before me.

"Miss, this is a police matter. Now let us do our job"

"No!" I shouted at the officer, feeling the urge to push him out the way. "Not until you tell me what's going on"

The other police officer had already started up the engine and the man in front of me ignored me as he turned around to get into the passenger seat. I took this opportunity to run up to the back window. Edward was slumped forward on the seat with his head in his hands. My heart sank at the sight before me, but my fists wildly started thumping on the window, causing him to look up at me.

"Edward, it's going to be alright!" I desperately called through the glass. "I'm going to get my father to sort out this mistake"

He frowned at me for some reason and I couldn't help but notice that his eyes seemed to show that he thought my plan was useless. My stomach was churning on the inside, and I felt like I was going to be sick.

"You're innocent, right?" I choked the words out.

The vehicle suddenly beeped, and one of the officers yelled at me to step away from the car. I obliged and stood there helplessly as I watched Edward's face turn into an agonised expression.

My feet had remained frozen on the spot as the car drove quickly out sight. It wasn't until I heard the voice of someone approaching me from behind. I assumed that it was the principle but I couldn't mange to get the image of Edward's agonised face out of my mind.

"Miss Swan, I know it must be difficult seeing a fellow student being escorted off the premises, but I assure you that the school counsellor will be able available to help you through this"

I gulped and slowly turned to face the principle, eyeing his expression warily. "Do you know why they've taken him away?"

Instead of answering my question directly he informed me "He's going down to the station for questioning"

"Questioning?" I echoed dryly, starting to feel really annoyed. Why won't he give me some vital information? "About what? What did he do wrong?"

I could tell that the principle sensed that I was getting rather worked up about this when I noticed the change of tone in his voice. He was trying to calm me down. "I'm sorry Miss Swan, but I'm not aloud to disclose information about it. Now, how about we go and set up an appointment for you with the -"

"I don't want to see the counsellor!" I blurted out, causing him to step back in shock. "I'm going down to the station. My father will be there… He's the chief of police so maybe I'll get some answers from him" Without waiting for the principle to utter another word, I hastily ran off in the direction of my truck.

My headache had suddenly come back full blown.

There's never a dull moment with Edward in your life is there? Lol.
