I decided that I would go visit Bella today to get my mind off things. As I walked towards her house I felt someone staring at me. I brushed it off as I knocked on the door. "H-Hi,"Bella spoke. "Are you going somewhere?" I asked. "Well yeah I was going to go to this meadow in the forest,"she said. "Can I come with Please I need something to distract me bells,"I insisted reaching out to her hand. "Yeah of course come on."

We walked for what felt like hours. We reached a secluded area where flowers grew from the ground. I smiled notcing there was a small patch of tulips. I bent down to smell them for a second when, "Aria please come over here,"pleaded Bella.

"Wh-what's wrong?"I said realizing there was a figure staring at us.

"We dont want any trouble,"said Bella to the guy. I was confused on why she had to tell the guy that.

"I heard Edward Cullen and his family have left,"he said. "No there just hunting they'll be back any second," spoke Bella. "Oh my dear Bella I can see a liar from a mile away,"he shouted.

"Bella what's wrong who is this sicko,"I whispered .

"Oh what have we here Arabella Z Volant hmm dead mom no dad how sad,"he taunted.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT YOU SICK BASTARD? LEAVE US ALONE,"I shouted. He started walking closer to us.

Before I knew it the guy sped towards us pushing me to a tree. "Ow,"I said holding my head. I looked down at my hand seeing blood. I saw the man go up to Bella.

"Bella RUN,"I yelled.

Before she could move I saw a huge wolf creature charge at the man. I looked up at the sky feeling as I was fading in and out.

"ARIA no no keep your eyes open it's paul,"he said. I looked at him seeing he was shirtless holding my head. "O-Ok what the hell is happening ," I whispered. I opened my eyes slowly but they soon closed.

"Paul?" I looked at the bedroom door realizing I was at Emily's.

"Hey hey do you feel better?"he asked. "Y- where's Bella is she okay?" I asked. "Yeah she fine she's at home come on lay down,"he insisted. "No it's just Paul, Did you see those huge wolves?" I asked. "I think you hit your head pretty bad,"he said chuckling. "I swear I saw something that guy was really weird he had this really strong strength; Paul he pushed me to that tree with a quick speed a-and how did you get there so fast,"I said.

"Come on I'll take you home," he said grabbing my hand.

"Wait take me to Bella's please,"I insisted. "Are you sure?" He asked. "Yes please I dont wanna go home," I said.

I didnt want Noah seeing me like this. He'll prove me wrong and I can't let that happen. Paul stopped the car as I got out of the car. "Thanks paul I'll call you later," I said. "Take care Aria," he said kissing my forehead.

As I walked up the stairs I knocked on the door. "Hello," said sheriff Swan."Hi umm I hope I'm not interrupting but can I see Bella,"I asked. "Yeah she's upstairs sleeping,"he said. "Thanks,"I whispered. I knocked on her door lightly. "Come in" she said softly.

"Hey bells are you okay?" I asked. "Yeah sorry about that," she replied. I walked towards her sitting on her bed. "Bells who was that; before I passed out I heard him talking about biting you, what's that about,"I asked. I saw her face she looked hesitant.

"Please Bella the truth I promise not to tell anybody,"I said grabbing her hands. "Ok but please dont say anything; or you can be in danger as well,"she said in a concerned tone.

Before I knew it she spoke for what a felt like hours. She told me everything absolutely everything. The Cullens were vampires and about Victoria and how they had to leave. I felt a sadness in my heart as I watched her tell the story about Edward. She spoke about how Jacob was acting weird and distancing himself. We talked about those huge wolf creatures that we both now know truly exists. I hugged Bella as a tear fell down her face.

"I'm so sorry about all you've had to go through Bella it's hard to grasp everything but its all making sense. This town the people everything."Yeah I'm sorry for not saying anything sooner,"she said.

"Can I stay here tonight,"I asked. "Of course,"she replied. I sat down next to her as we talked some more about things. I told her my situation with Paul and Noah. As we talked I got a notification on my phone.

"Are you coming home"- Noah.

"Sorry I'm staying over at Bella's she's just a few houses down"

I woke up quietly putting my shoes on. I heard Bella shuffle from under the covers. I looked at her and smiled. I made my way out before Charlie could here me.

"Hey Arabella,"said Charlie.

I looked back,"yes."

" I know it's early in the morning but Harry passed away last night,"he spoke.

"Oh I'm so sorry,"I said blankly.

"I can ask Bella to send you the information for his service tomorrow,"he said.

"Yes, thank you,"I whispered while looking down.

He nodded and went back inside. As I walked towards my house I felt so numb and fed up. Tears started forming in my eyes. Quickly falling down my face. I unlocked the front door opening it to see Noah waiting for me. He ran to me holding me.

"WHATS wrong Aria TELL ME!"

"I know you don't know him but Harry Clearwater passed away his service is tomorrow,"I spoked.

NOAH'S POV:

I lazily got up from bed looking into Ari's room hoping she was in there and nope she wasn't. I made my way downstairs seeing the door lock shuffling. I looked up to see Aria crying with bloody bruises on her legs.

"WHATs wrong Aria TELL ME!" I asked. She told me about Harry passing away.

"I'm so sorry, what happened to your legs?"I said pulling back. "Its just some scratches I fell yesterday I'm fine,"she said looking around. "Go upstairs take a warm shower Ill make you something to eat,"I said. She nodded as she went upstairs.

She looked frozen no emotion.

ARIA'S POV:

I stepped out of the shower wrapping my hair into a towel. I quickly changed into some sweatpants and sweater. I made my way downstairs eating some food. I walked towards the couch sitting a seat away from Noah.

"Do you want me to go with you tomorrow?" He asked.

"No its okay, im gonna go with Paul he texted,"I said looking down.

He nodded turning on the tv. "Thank you Noah,"I said. "For what," he said smiling. I smiled back.

We spent the rest of the day watching movies and talking for awhile. He then put Edward Scissor Hands which soon made me sleepy.

"Sleep well Arabella,"Noah Whispered.
