I was in the music room, crying. When I saw Edward with Tanya, my heart shattered into millions of pieces. The bell rang and I walked to Trig slowly. I blended in with the crowd, no one seeing me.

I heard a familiar giggle, Tanya. Peeking out of my hair that was hiding my hair, I saw her hanging on Edward's arm. He was smiling. I sucked in a breath and he looked at me. I backed away and ran to Trig. Suddenly, there was a body in front of me, knocking me down.

Looking up into the cold blue eyes of Mike Newton, I hid my terror. Please, not today. He kicked me in the stomach and I held in a yelp of pain. The entire hallway surrounded us, laughing with Mike. Hidden tears were brought to my eyes as Mike bent down. His fist connected with my face and he stood back up.

I lied there limp, blood seeping from my nose and from the corner of my lip. The warning bell rang and everyone quickly went to there classes. Soon, the hallways were empty except me, Tanya, and Edward. Tanya was hanging on Edward's arm, smirking evilly at me. Edward was looking at me with a horrified expression.

I didn't pay attention to them. I just tried to get up, I was on my hands and knees before my arms gave out and I was on the ground again. Tanya laughed loudly and there was a bang, like a door hitting a wall.

"Serves you right bitch," Tanya said as she stepped closer to Edward's side. Edward just kept looking at me with those sad, green eyes. Just then, my favorite person came out, Mr. Greene, the principal.

"What did you just call her?" he said, his face red. I struggled to my hands and knees again, whimpering. He seemed to notice and kneeled down next to me.

"Un... Uncle... Uncle Robert," I stammered. He pulled me close and glared at the two behind us. Tanya stuttered as Edward stayed in silent shock. He helped me up and looked at my face. His eyes grew angrier by the minute when they saw my blood coming from my face.

"Who did this?" he growled. It wasn't directed to me, but to Edward and the Queen Slut. They didn't say a word so I spoke up, in a small voice.

"Mike Newton and Tanya Denali." Tanya gasped and looked at me, as Edward's eyes grew. Tears built up in my eyes as Uncle Robert wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

"Miss Denali, come to my office. You too Mr. Cullen." With that, he helped me to his office, not looking behind him, knowing that they were following. Once he unlocked the doors, he lied me down on the leather couch he kept in the corner.

It was comfy and he placed a blanket over me. Sometimes I would come here and sleep the bell away, he didn't mind. "Get some rest Bells," he murmured. I nodded and snuggled deeper under the blanket, falling asleep.

Tanya and I walked after Mr. Greene. Bella called him Uncle Robert, is he part of her family? Lucky. Tanya was hanging on my arm again, whining.

"Eddie! What's going to happen to us? I didn't do a thing," she whined. I winced and tried to shake her off. When Bella saw us in the hallway, a heartbroken expression took over, then she tried to run off. That's how all this began. Anyway, I didn't want Tanya touching me. She came up to me earlier and hasn't left me alone, saying that I belong with her. As if!

I didn't answer Tanya just kept following Mr. Greene into his office. Bella told me to leave her alone, but something in the back of my mind kept nagging me, saying the what Bella told me was a lie. She didn't want me to leave.

Mr. Greene led us into his office and Bella was already there. She was on a leather couch in the corner of the room. She was curled up under a woven blanket and fast asleep. She looked... Peaceful. As if nothing can touch her anymore.

Mr. Greene coughed to gain our attention. I reluctantly looked away from Bella's sleeping face and at Mr. Greene's angry one. I winced but stood straight.

"First off, I don't want any lies. I want the truth up front. I won't stand my niece being tortured like this any longer. I let it slide because she begged me but now seeing the damage for my own eyes, I won't let her stop me," he growled. Damn, he's scary when mad. There was a grunt behind me and Tanya, coming from the direction of the couch.

Turning around, we saw Bella open her eyes and sit up. She turned to look at Mr. Greene.

"Uncle Robert, Edward didn't have anything to do with it. I promise you. Let him go," she said in a monotone. Tanya glared at her. "However, due to recent events, yesterday in the bathroom, I will let you do whatever you want with Tanya Denali," she continued. Mr. Greene looked confused.

"What happened yesterday?" he asked. I wondered about that myself.

"I can't remember correctly but this might help," Bella said as she held up a disc. "I keep a camera on me all the time at school, just in case I needed it," she continued. Bella stood up weakly, swaying lightly, then stumbled over to the TV next to Mr. Greene's desk. She placed in the disc and pressed play.

Video:

Bella walked into the bathroom, then hid behind the door, holding the video camera at an angle so she could get everything. Tanya, Jessica, and Lauren stood in front of the mirror, reapplying make up and talking.

"What does this have to do with anything?" Tanya said, bored and annoyed. I was confused but continued to watch.

Jessica spoke first, staring at herself in the mirror, smiling at her reflection. "Like have you noticed like that sexy Edward is like hanging out with that like Emo loser like freak," she said.

Tanya sucked in a giant breath and her eyes grew wide. She remembered. Bella smirked and sat on the edge of Mr. Greene's desk.

"Watch and burn Tanya Denali, watch and burn," Bella whispered, loud enough for me to hear.

"I know right! He'll get bored of her sooner or later, then he'll be crawling to me," Tanya spoke as she applied lipstick. Bella moved the camera so she could get a better look into the bathroom. Tanya's words were deformed by her make up applying.

"Of course he will Tanya. Every man comes to you," Lauren agreed. Bella seemed to have enough and walked fully into the bathroom. She hid the camera so it wouldn't look suspicious but still had a perfect view of them. Bella laughed as she stood behind the three girls in front of the mirror.

"You really think Edward is going to come to a bunch of fakes like you?" she stood up for me. They turned to glare at her darkly.

Mr. Greene looked at Bella, she shrugged.

"He's my best friend. I had to stick up for him," Bella said simply. He nodded and smiled.

"Well if it isn't the Emo herself," Jessica stepped closer to her, sneering. It looked like Bella rolled her eyes.

"Maybe we should teach this bitch a lesson on eavesdropping," Tanya said stepping closer to Bella as she gave her a sneer, much like Jessica's.

"Oh, I'm the bitch? This is coming from a girl who sleeps with the teachers to get a good grade, not to mention you screwed half of the male population of the school," Bella sneered back.

Tanya continued to glare at Bella as she reached into her purse. After a second or two, she retracted her hand and something glinted in the light. A knife! Bella started laughing.

"A knife? Are you fucking serious? That's too funny!" Bella gasped out as she continued to laugh.

"Shut up slut, it's time you realize who you're talking to," Tanya growled. Bella stopped laughing at once and stood there, with a smirk.

Tanya stepped forward and grabbed Bella's arm, the knife piercing her skin. As the first drops of blood fell to the ground, Bella moved and punched Tanya with the arm that wasn't in her claws.

The TV went black as Bella turned it off and looked at me. Her eyes were sad and I glared at Tanya. She dare hurt my Bella? Mr. Greene turned to Tanya and looked at Bella. They shared a smirk and Bella suddenly lightened up. Then she whispered in Mr. Greene's ear. He sighed and nodded.

"You are free to go, both of you," Mr. Greene said with a sigh of defeat. Bella smiled and nodded. I stood in shock as Tanya shot out of there like a bat out of hell. "Edward, go." I nodded and left slowly. Bella jumped down from the desk and followed me.

"Thanks Uncle Robert!" she called over her shoulder. The door closed behind her and she walked off. I caught her wrist and pulled her back. She looked up at me with a guarded look in her eyes.

"Bella..." I whispered. "Why did you let her go?" Bella looked away and sighed.

"It wouldn't have solved anything. Best to keep things like they are," she whispered back. Then she turned and walked away. I didn't follow her, just went to my class with the excuse note from Mr. Greene's secretary.

Mr. Jefferson didn't mind that I was late, so I sat in the back, alone. I finished the quiz the class was taking and looked out the window. There was an announcement a few minutes later, saying to go to the auditorium. We all piled out of the classroom and into the room with the stage. There was a guitar and piano on the wooden surface of the stage.

Finding a seat in the very back, I got a perfect view of the stage. Thankfully none of the skanks that have been hanging onto my arms and legs came up and sat next to me. Bella never came though. The lights dimmed and Mr. Greene walked to the center of the stage, and he was smiling.

"Welcome students! The teachers and I decided to give you a break from work and give you some entertainment," he finished with a smile. The students of Forks High cheered loudly, then Mr. Greene held up a hand. "We would like to introduce, The Black Secret!" he yelled and the curtains came up. There wasn't just a piano and guitar, but an entire band.

The players were dressed up in black cloaks, the hoods of them covering their faces. One person stepped up, who I'm guessing is the lead singer and slung a guitar around her back. Or at least I'm thinking it's a girl.

"Are you ready?" her voice rang into the mike and the students cheered.
