I fluttered my eyes open and sat up, stretching my arms and letting out a big yawn. I stood up grabbing my glasses from the bedside table and putting them on. Walking to my wardrobe I heard a cough then a sniffle, turning around I saw Bella in bed.

"Are you okay?" I asked walking over to her, when I was next to her I knelt down. She really did look like crap, like death itself.

"What do you think?" She croaked.

I stood up and covered my mouth, "don't get me sick!" I said, my voice muffled. I heard her chuckle, turning back around I grabbed out my favourite black hoodie, black skinny jeans. I placed them on the end of my bed and I walked into the bathroom. I undressed myself and hopped in for a shower, turning on the water I felt the hot water on my body instantly waking me up.

I hopped out of the shower and dried myself off before I walked into the bedroom and got dressed. I left my hair down and applied my normal make up.

I heard a honk outside. I looked out the window and saw Edward leaning against his car. I groaned.

What is he doing here?

I grabbed my phone and walked downstairs, grabbing an apple on the way out.

"Bye Charlie!" I said and shut the door behind me.

"What are you doing here?" I crossed my arms.

"Well.. I know you want answers," he paused.

"Wait how do you? Oh right.. Mind reading" I sighed.

"So.. I'm going to give you them" he stepped forward and opened the passenger side door. I raised an eyebrow and hesitated before hopping into the car. We drove to a random location outside of Forks.

"Is this where you turn around and kill me?" I asked.

"No, I don't feed from people" he chuckled.

He stopped the car and pulled up the hand break, opening his door he go out, I followed and hopped out. "Okay, ask me anything" he turned and faced me.

"Okay...." I paused, "is Carlisle the reason you don't feed off of people?"

"No... Well he's not the whole reason, I- I don't want to be a monster" he looked down and kicked a rock.

"Right... Do you have to be dying to become like you?" I frowned.

"No... You can be the healthiest person alive and still can become a vampire" he said.

"How do you become a vampire?" I asked.

"Well we have venom that when we bite can inject venom into the persons system" he said.

"How did you become a vampire?" I asked.

"It was September 1918, I was dying of the Spanish influenza when Carlisle found me." He looked up at the sky.

"Didn't he just have to bite??" I asked.

"Yes but when we taste human blood we have.. It's like a frenzy begins and it's almost impossible to stop" he looked at me. "What Carlisle did was something not many vampires can do..."

"What was it like?" I asked.

"The venom it was excruciating..." He looked down and kicked another rock.

"Oh" I said.

After a few more minutes of talking I decided it was time to get to school.

When I arrived I got a late slip from the office and made my way to class, which was biology. I handed my slip to the teacher and took a seat next Panda who was ever so happy to see me.

"Where were you?" She whispered.

"I was uh..." I bit my lip trying to think of an excuse. Just my luck, Edward walks through the door and takes a seat at his desk. Pandas eyes widen and she opens her mouth.

"You were with him! Weren't you! Oh my god!" She said. 

"I-" she cut me off.

"You were! Oh my gooood! What were you doing! Tell me everything!" She tugged on my arm.

"Panda please" I said, yanking my arm away from her.

-------

When the bell went off, I made my way with Panda to the cafeteria. "So are you gonna tell me!!" She jumped in front of me causing me to suddenly stop.

"Panda it was nothing" I walked around her and kept walking. When I arrived in the cafeteria I looked around the cafeteria and Edward caught my eye. I quickly averted my eyes and grabbed lunch before sitting with the girls.

"So Panda tells us you were with Edward earlier" Grace smirked.

I sat down and looked at Panda. She smiled innocently, I could slap her right now!

"It was nothing, we just talked for awhile that's it" I said, taking a bite of my apple.

"What'd you talk about?" Sophia asked, wiggling her eyebrows.

"Just stuff... Does it really matter?" I asked just wanting to end the conversation and read my book.

"You like him!" Sophia said.

"No! Maybe! Ok a little" I said, my cheeks turning a deep shade of red.

"Look! It's just a mere crush, it'll go away soon..." I took another bite of my apple.

-------

When school finished I made my way out and met Edward at his car. "I don't need a ride home," I crossed my arms.

"With James out trying to kill you, you're under my protection" he opened the passenger side door and motioned for me to get in.

I sighed in defeat and hopped in, he walked to the drivers side and got in. Starting the car he drove out of the school carpark, "I heard what you said, to your friends" he kept his eyes on the road.

My eyes widened and my cheeks turned a deep red, "you did?"

"Vampire hearing remember" he faced me.

"I know you like Bella, so I've been keeping my distance" I looked out the passenger side window.

The rest of the ride home was silent and awkward. No matter how hard I tried the red colour in my cheeks wouldn't go away. As soon as we pulled into the drive way I quickly hopped out of the car.

"Thanks for the ride" I mumbled and basically ran inside.

I threw my bag on the couch and sighed, why did he have such an affect on me?... I shook my head and walked upstairs. Bella was sat on her bed with her laptop, she looked a little better.

Grabbing myself a towel I went into the bathroom and showered, after I showered I got into my pjs and jumped into bed. Closing my eyes I feel myself go into unconsciousness. Opening my eyes I shot up into a sitting position, looking at the window I saw him, the guy he titled his head to the side a smiled wickedly. He walked towards me, I tried to scream but nothing came out, when he reached my I kicked trying get away from him. I closed my eyes,

"Abby?!" Someone whisper/yelled, "it's me Edward."

Opening my eyes Edward stood there, I felt tears pool in my eyes. No I wouldn't cry... I felt a stray tear fall causing me to sob. Edward hugged me as I sobbed after that I feel myself fall into a deep sleep.
