Hope you like the new chapter! I just spent a half hour of my life on this for you people so you better like it!!


Everything was as normal as it would ever be right now, I really don't know what was said after I left yesterday, but Landon had totally backed off, Jasper was distancing himself, and Edward was still annoying but that was to be expected. Conner was less then oblivious to the tension now. I think he had some questions.

Chase was back at school today they had his mother stabilized, but they didn't expect her to last long. He had come back to school so broken hearted and confided everything in me. I could feel his pain cutting into me like a knife. It was terrible, the entire situation, and it had inspired me to write a song for Chase. I was supposed to perform it today next period.

Ugh, I really didn't even want to go to music class anymore.

"Bella, you in there?" I felt someone tap me on the shoulder, I looked up to see Jasper. This really confused me because I knew for a fact that he wasn't in my class right now. I looked around, and noticed that I was standing in the hallway; my hand poised on my locker dial. Interesting.

I shook my head trying to clear it. "Yeah, sorry I'm just spaced out, I'm really nervous today." I said. He looked at me, his topaz eyes smoldering, I could tell he wanted to tell me something, but he held it back.

I turned back to my locker, it popped open and I ditched my books, closed it again, and spun the dial to make sure it was locked.

"What are you nervous about?" He asked quietly. I bit my lip, how could I tell him anything that has to do with Chases' mother? No one else knows that she's dying, he confided that in me. I couldn't betray his trust.

"It's fine Bella, you can tell me." he said, reaching out to touch my shoulder, I visibly flinched, it wasn't on purpose, but his touch always did that to me. I saw him smirk, and his hand balled into a fist as he pulled it away.

"It-It's just that I wrote this song for Chase, and I'm supposed to perform it today, and I just don't know if it's good, or if it will make him feel worse, or if my take on things is just completely wrong."

"I'm sure you'll do just fine, I mean it's you after all." he said flashing a smiles before ducked his head and walked away.

I felt like the biggest piece of crap ever, but that didn't change the fact that the bell rang, and that I was on my way to the music room, and that I had to perform.

I felt a knot in my stomach, and I ran to the bathroom. As you might have guessed, everything that I had for breakfast and lunch was now gone. I pulled my mini toothbrush and took care of the smell. nasty.

I felt even more like crap now, as I pushed open the bathroom door. I should have expected it, I mean this just wasn't my day; I should have known that Jasper would be waiting outside the bathroom for me. He didn't even say anything; he took one look at me and pulled me into his arms.

"If it makes you that nervous you shouldn't do it." He said in my ear. This wasn't right he shouldn't be hugging me, not with the feelings that he had, not with the feelings that it brought me.

"Jasper, you can't hug me like this, we can't be like this." I said trying to pull away from his, but he tightened his hold.

"I don't understand anything, not one thing that's going on with me right now, I shouldn't like you, I shouldn't want to be with you, but all I know is that I'm the happiest that I've ever been when I hold you in my arms." He said.

"J-Jasper we can't be..." I felt my heart flutter in my chest when his mouth moved to my neck. Then ever so lightly he kissed my neck, it was cold, and it made me shiver.

"Jasper STOP." I said pushing him away, with tears in my eyes, when he did this, confusion tore through me like wildfire, so much so that it brought me pain to think about anything. I mean DUH! I liked Jasper, but I couldn't see us together in anyway. He was inhumanly perfect whereas I was far from.. I took two careful steps back, and then turned and ran to the Music room.

Chase was waiting for me at the door, he took my hand, and the guilt and regret tore through me again. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me over to our bands corner.

"Are you ready to sing the song you wrote me?" He asked holding me tighter as we walked over to our spot.

"Haha, I'm a lot nervous, I don't think you'll like it." I said honestly, and he laughed.

"I'll love it since you wrote it for me." I jumped about a foot in the air when the door slammed closed, I turned to see, now furious looking Jasper, and I ducked my head ashamed.

He looked in my direction, and then quickly walked right by us and picked up his guitar.

"Bella Swan, you're up first today, are you ready?" Mrs. Levinski said.

"S-sure." I said and my heart began pounding again, my head felt lighter, but I climbed onto the stage alone. I had a CD with music put on it so that I could learn the song alone, and so I could surprise Chase.

"Whenever you're ready." She said holding her clipboard. I nodded. I took the mic in my hands, I felt myself become lightheaded but I pushed the feelings back, and squinted through the pain.

"Ok, so this is my song." I said slowly, and reached back to click play. I couldn't even feel my lags anymore; I never got stage fright, what was this. This had to be something else.

The song started so I began to sing:

"Her headaches are constant increasing in pain,
With each passing day.
She can't even manage to stand on her own it's gotten so bad.
But you think in saying there's no use in praying,
Still she bows her head, so she can say,
Thank you for just one more day.
Supernatural patience graces her face,
and her voice never raises,
It's all because of a love, never let go of."

The room was still spinning, fading in and out so quick I wasn't sure what I was looking at.

"He has every reason to throw up his fists

In the face of his God who let his mother die
through all the prayers and tears, she still passed in pain anyway"

I stole a glance at Chase, and he was staring at me with a smile. Ok, so good so far.

"You think in saying there's no use in praying
but still he bows his head so he can say
thank you for ending her pain"

I looked to him again and tears were visable on his eyes, and pain tore through me like wildfire.

Supernatural patience graces his face
and his voice never raises
All because of a love never let go of
never let go of…

He is teaching me…

What love really means."

"Great job Miss. Swan. That was terrific!" Mrs. Levinski said clapping. Then all around my vision everything went white and hazy. It started a kaleidoscope effect and everything tuned out, and so did I.

Then I could barely see straight, and I felt myself drifting, and falling, backward.

"BELLA!" I heard someone scream, and that was it, I was done, I hit the floor, and the mic made a weird squeaking noise as it too hit to ground. So much for having no stage fright, I thought before everything went dark.


CPOV (chase point of view)


Bella went down, hard, right on the ground. I was so frozen in fear.
Not again, Not again. Oh god.


JPOV


I could feel Bella's fatigue from here, she was spent. Still it bothered me that she was denying how she felt for me, I looked over at Chase who was smiling, he was the happiest that he's been in a while, but it was directed at my Bella.

I heard Edward snort and looked at him, and I growled back.

In the brief moment that I looked away I saw something out of the corner of my eye, it was Bella; she was becoming even more stressed. This wasn't good. Then I saw the last thing that I wanted to see, Bella's eyes rolled back into her head, and she fell straight backward.

"BELLA!" I screamed and jumped from where I was without a moment's hesitation.

The mic hit the floor letting out a horrible screech and people all around the room covered their ears.

When I reached the stairs Bella was already unconscious. I gathered her into my arms, and without waiting or asking I walked out of the room, and then made a mad dash to the hospital, to my father, the only person that I trusted with my Bella. I didn't even care that I was leaving school early, I'd have Alice or Rosalie take my jeep somewhere so that I can say that that's how I got her to the hospital. I was running as fast as my abilities would let me.

"Please be okay." I whispered in her ear.

"Ja-JASPER!" She screamed, her eyes were open, when did that happen. Everything was rushing by, and her eyes landed on mine, scared, and frantic. How could I have let this happen, she'd find out now.

"W-what are you?" She said panicked, and I closed my eyes, the pain in my chest from her words was deep. She would hate me now, hate what I am, and fear me. I knew that, that's always how it worked.

"I'm a...I'm a vampire." I said, her eyes widened in a way that I hate, and I sighed.

"Am...am I dreaming?" She asked.

"I really want to say yes right now, but no, Bella, you're not." I promised her. She seemed to take a really deep breath, and then she let out an annoyed sigh.

"You can put me down now, I'm fine." She said.

"No, you're not." I said.

"Where are you taking me?" She asked.

"To the hospital, you fainted on stage...and well I was worried." I said sincerely.

I couldn't hear what she said next but it sounded something like. 'Charlie's gonna have a heart attack.' Whoever Charlie was, I felt bad for him.

"Really you can put me down, people faint all the time." She said as I stopped in front of my hospital.

"Well we're already here, so we might as well have a look at you." I said.

"Well I can at least walk in there myself right?" She asked and then I put her down.

She seemed to be taking this surprisingly well. Then what she said next startled me.

"So Edward, Alice, Emmett, Rosalie, and your parents, aren't normal too, right?"

"That's true." I said, and she sighed. "Lead on." She said gesturing to the door.

"Right." I said, we walked up to the front desk, and the receptionist was there.

"Ah, well hello Jasper." She said.

"Hi Candace, is my father in, it's an emergency?"

"Yeah, just let me page him over." She said then leaned forward into the intercom and said. "Doctor Cullen to the front desk, Doctor Cullen to the front desk." She finished and flashed me a smile.

"You're a lifesaver Candace." I breathed and she laughed, it was ironic considering the fact that she was a receptionist in a hospital where everyone else saved peoples lives.

"No problem." She said.

"Jasper, what do you need son?" I turned and saw Carlisle walking up to us, a strange look on his face.

"Dad, this is Bella, I think you need to check her out, she fainted at school." I said.

"Ok, around what time did this happen?" He asked his eyes landing on Bella.

"About 2 minutes ago I'd say." Bella said with a smirk, and his eyes shot up to me, and we shared a knowing glance. he knew that she knew.

"Right..." he said nervously."Well, let's see if we can find out what the problem is." he said and led her to his office. This was just so very strange, she didn't seem to be put out by any of this.

We'll see soon enough though.
