I know most of you girls wrote your own, I'm doing nothing original, yadda, yadda, yadda. I'm bored and had an idea that's been bothering me. What if Bella went home crying, instead of trying to follow Edward? And what if Edward was still there? I love breaking Edward's heart. Hey, I like Jacob! I can't help it! Anyways, my stories go way off track! ;-)

Now, on to the story!

Bella was crying. I was going to run, when Bella turned away. She walked silently towards her house. I heard the faint click of the doorknob. Then I was the only one outside. The emotions fell upon me, and I couldn't breathe. She just, let me go. I walked to her house. Looking up, I saw Bella at the window, talking to someone on the phone. She was still crying. Bella didn't notice me as I turned and left. I will wait until she's asleep to take the stuff back.

I decided to leave it all under the floorboards. I can't bear to keep them. It'll all remind me of her. Then I remembered her CD. I went towards the bed. When I opened it, I realized the CD was missing. I looked all over the room, having to stop because Bella stirred. She was going to start talking. The first thing she said was my name, and I felt a wave of pain. Then she screamed. I quickly hid under the bed. There, I found her CD, with a crack on one side. She had tried to break it. I heard Charlie run into the room.
"Bella! Bella, what's wrong? Was it a nightmare?"
"Yes." She was sobbing. "I was searching, but I didn't know for what. A-at first, I thought it was... HIM. But after searching, I found nothing! Then I realized, there WAS nothing. Not anymore."
I felt a little angry at myself. Why did I make this decision? Bella was crying harder now, and Charlie was trying to keep her quiet. Then, he left. I heard Bella breathe in evenly. She had fallen asleep. I got up. Her eyes, wide open, grew wider. I was guessing this was my que to leave. But before I could move, I saw her sit up. Tears flowed down as she said, "Dreams, nightmares, now hallucinations. I'm not taking this torture any more!" She took out a needle from a small box on her bedside table.
"If you're really Edward, then you wouldn't care anymore."
I watched in horror as she pricked the skin on her neck. A drop of blood came out. Her tears came down harder.
"You must be real, you're holding your breath. You don't want to dissapoint Carlisle. Please, end my pain. You may not love me anymore, but please, do this one thing for me."
I opened my mouth to speak, not thinking. I froze as I tasted her blood in the air. I wasn't in control anymore. Her eyes closed as I crossed the room towards her. I was screaming at myself inside. I loved her, why was I doing this? She promised not to do anything funny! I'll break the treaty and put the rest of the family in danger!
She gasped as my lips reached her throat. I wanted more, and rage filled up inside me. I can't do this! Bella is my life!
I felt somebody pull me back. I was broken from Bella, and was forced to turn around. Alice was there.
"I came as fast as I could. Victoria, she's coming back. She'd do anything to kill Bella!" Alice cried. I regained my senses. Alice gasped.
"Edward! What were you doing?!!! Bella!"
She ran to Bella, who was unconscious. Alice examined the tiny pucture wound Bella added to her neck. Then Alice picked Bella up.
"We have to take her away from here, or Victoria will inflict a lot more damage than she'd planned to," Alice explained.
"Use the door," I said. "We want it to look like Bella left, not got kidnapped."
"Pack clothes. Wait, I'll pack clothes. You handle Bella."
"Alice, this is no time for dress up!"
"No! I don't trust you going through her clothes!"
I rolled my eyes. Alice put Bella in my arms. She stirred again. Her body welcomed my touch. Her eyes opened.
"Edward, what-" she started. Then her eyes went wide. Her hand touched the place where the needle pricked her.
"Shhh..." I shushed her. Tears flowed down her cheek.
"Oh, Edward, I'm sorry! I wasn't thinking, I thought it was another dream! Oh, jeez. I-"
"Edward! Let's go!" interrupted Alice.

We ran through the forest, and suddenly, I smelled Victoria. I set Bella down on a boulder and Alice and I ran to follow her trail. We searched for a few minutes, when I realized we'd come across another scent, this time stronger, and overlapping the one I'd been following. I heard a laugh, and Bella screaming in the distance. Victoria.
