This is my first venture into any sort of fan fiction so if you could leave a comment telling me what to improve on that would be great. Thanks!
Forks High School isn't that big, I thought frantically. Miniscule, in fact, compared to my old school in Phoenix. Its ridiculous for me to get lost! As I groped for my schedule to try and figure out where Building 3 was, I internally tried to write this off as stress or hunger. PMS, even. But deep down I knew why I was so scatterbrained that particular morning. I scowled at the shining sun. Why did it have to come out at all? I knew I was being silly. Being away from Edward sometimes did that to me.
When I finally made my way to my seat in Building 3, I plopped down and began doodling idly on the front of my notebook. I was interrupted from wondering whether or not Edward would be back that night by a familiar voice.
"Hi Bella. Are you all right?"
"Yes, Mike...I'm fine. Thanks for asking."
"Hey, I noticed Edward was gone today. Are you doing anything--"
"All right. Today's topic for discussion is the Alfred Wegener theory of continental drift..." cut the teaher's voice through the suddenly thick atmosphere in the room.
I let the teacher's voice fade out while silently thanking him for saving me from a painfully embarassing discussion. I liked Mike, but sometimes it was so hard for him to realize that I had a boyfriend...that would eternally be superior to him. Poor little guy, I thought.
The rest of the day passed painfully slowly. I won't suffer you the specifics. When I got home, Charlie was still at the station. I popped some leftover lasagna in the microwave for a couple of minutes and then went upstairs to do my homework. Satisfied that I'sd eaten up a lot of time, I went downstairs to make a salad and was shocked to see that only half an hour had passed. Grinding my teeth, I sat down to watch TV for another hour. Finally I heard Charlie's entry and started to get dinner out on the table.
"Hi Bells. Sorry I'm a little late."
"That's fine, dad. I did my homework. How was your day?"
A crease appeared between his eyes. "Well...do you remember those gang killings in Seattle last year?"
A chill passed through me. I remembered better than most. "Yes..." I replied cautiously.
"It's happening again. This time closer to here. Same bizzare range of victims, same burned bodies..."
I almost dropped the lasagna pan. Numb with shock, I caught it before it hit the floor and put a hand on the counter to steady myself.
"Hey, don't be scared.It's not that big of a deal. Not nearly as many as before."
"I'm not scared. Just surprised," I lied.
We ate dinner in silence. My head was whirling with emotion. Who was it? I could have reason to be happy. Maybe it was Senna, or Benjamin. At the same time, I was petrified. The Volturi had a good reason to be in the area: me. I ruminated on these questions, restless for Edward's arrival so I could ask him.

Slow, we paddle through the lake
Straight to the very center of the darkest water
Where we can embrace the shadows on the surface
The eyes that look up lifeless from our twins below
And though your arms and legs are under
Love will be the echo in your ears when all is lost and plundered
My love will be there still
True, it's chilling to behold
Up close we stumble backwards laughing in our boat
Till the image sinks away to someplace far but certain
A land of mere suspension where someday we must go
And though your arms and legs are under
Love will be the echo in your ears when all is lost and plundered
My love will be there still
Though your arms and legs are under
Love will be the echo in your ears when all is lost and plundered
My love will be there still
Straight to the very center of the darkest water
Where we can embrace the shadows on the surface
The eyes that look up lifeless from our twins below
And though your arms and legs are under
Love will be the echo in your ears when all is lost and plundered
My love will be there still
True, it's chilling to behold
Up close we stumble backwards laughing in our boat
Till the image sinks away to someplace far but certain
A land of mere suspension where someday we must go
And though your arms and legs are under
Love will be the echo in your ears when all is lost and plundered
My love will be there still
Though your arms and legs are under
Love will be the echo in your ears when all is lost and plundered
My love will be there still
I've waited a hundred years
And I'd wait a million more for you
Nothing prepared me for of the privilege of being yours, I do
If I had only felt the warmth within your touch
If I had only seen how you smile when you blush
Or how you curl your lip when you concentrate enough
But I would have known what I was living for all along
What I've been living for
Your love is my turning page
Only the sweetest words remain
Every kiss is a cursive line
Every touch is a redefining phrase
I surrender who I've been for who you are
For nothing makes me stronger than your fragile heart
If I had only felt how it feels to be yours
I would have known what I've been living for all along
What I've been living for
Though we're tethered to the story we must tell
When I saw you well I knew we'd tell it well
With the whisper we will tame the vicious scenes
Like a feather bringing kingdoms to their knees
And I'd wait a million more for you
Nothing prepared me for of the privilege of being yours, I do
If I had only felt the warmth within your touch
If I had only seen how you smile when you blush
Or how you curl your lip when you concentrate enough
But I would have known what I was living for all along
What I've been living for

Though we're tethered to the story we must tell
When I saw you well I knew we'd tell it well
With the whisper we will tame the vicious scenes
Like a feather bringing kingdoms to their knees
Well I can go a million miles an hour
But I’ve been bored so try to drag me down into the night
But if the morning I knew the song
In the arms of a miracle
Come back and see where you’re from
I can see the sun is on the rush
The pulse is strong, it warms you better than the Joe they left behind
But in the breath before you go
In the arms of a miracle
Come back and see where you’ve gone
It starts as a battle of luck
In the end it’s in the hands of a ghost
Well I am
Well I am
I can go a million miles an hour
But I can see the sun upon their eyes
I can go a million miles an hour
I can see it’s all true
You start to feel it finally
It starts as a battle of luck
But it ends when the hands of a ghost lay it down yeah

So pretty, so smart
Such a waste of her young heart
What a pity, what a sham
What’s the matter with you man
Don’t you see it’s wrong, can’t you get it right
Out of mind and out of sight
Call on all your girls, don’t forget the boys
Put a lid on all that noise
I’m a satellite heart
Lost in the dark
I’m spun out so far
You stop, I start
But I’ll be true to you
I hear you’re living out of state
Running in a whole new scene
You know I haven’t slept in weeks
You’re the only thing I see
I’m a satellite heart
Lost in the dark
I’m spun out so far
You stop, I start
But I’ll be true to you
I’m a satellite heart
Lost in the dark
I’m spun out so far
You stop, I start
But I’ll be true to you
No matter what you do
Yeah I’ll be true to you
Such a waste of her young heart
What a pity, what a sham
What’s the matter with you man
Don’t you see it’s wrong, can’t you get it right
Out of mind and out of sight
Call on all your girls, don’t forget the boys
Put a lid on all that noise
I’m a satellite heart
Lost in the dark
I’m spun out so far
You stop, I start
But I’ll be true to you
I hear you’re living out of state

But I’ll be true to you
No matter what you do
Yeah I’ll be true to you
I was a quick wet boy
Diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes
Wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair
I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map
And called for you everywhere
Have I found you
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Or lost you
American mouth
Big pill looming
Now I’m a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain streams
Have I found you
Flightless bird, grounding, bleeding
Or lost you
American mouth
Big pill stuck going down
Diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes
Wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair
I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map
And called for you everywhere
Have I found you
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Or lost you
American mouth
Big pill looming
Now I’m a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain streams
Have I found you
Flightless bird, grounding, bleeding
Or lost you
American mouth
Big pill stuck going down
