Shooting up from my lying position into a sitting position, I saw someone walk towards me. When the figure walked into the light, it was James, he smiled wickedly. I shut my eyes, "no, you're not real..." My voice was shaky.

"Oh, little human, I am very real" he chuckled.

I opened my eyes and gasped slightly when he didn't go, remembering that Bella was given a can of pepper spray. Quickly grabbing it out of the bedside drawer, I sprayed his eyes and ran down the stairs and outside. He ran in front of me, grabbing my neck and squeezing. I gasped for air, just then he was thrown about 10-15 metres dropping me, putting my hand up to my neck, I gasped, looking to where James was thrown. He was gone, turning I saw Edward, he quickly helped me up and walked me back inside.

I sat on my bed and pulled my knees into my chest. What did he want with me? Why is he doing this to me? What have I done wrong to tick him off? I just don't understand.

"I don't know" Edward sighed.

"Stay out of my head" I growled.

"Sorry..." He apologised.

I looked over to Bella who was still sound asleep. How? I have no idea. But then again she was a heavy sleeper.

"Why do you think he's doing this?" I asked.

"I don't know" he sighed. I sighed and lay down. I knew I wouldn't get any sleep but I could at least try.

I walked into the bathroom, standing in front of the mirror, I looked up. The hand mark bruises that disappeared was back, putting my hand up to my throat I winced when the tip of my finger touched the bruise. I took a sharp and quick breath in and placed my hands on the sink, I wanted to come to Forks for a new start, not to be nearly killed by a vampire. When I heard Bella stir awake, I quietly ran into bed covering myself with the blankets.

When I heard her wake up, I 'woke up' too. "Good morning Abby" she smiled.

"Morning" I said trying to hide the bruise that wrapped around my neck.

I hopped out of bed and walked into the bathroom. I turned the shower on and undressed, I instantly feel relaxed when the hot water touches my skin. All this mornings events just wash away, I let out a sigh.

All I wanted to know is what this James guy wanted with me. I didn't wanna live in fear anymore, Forks was meant to be a new start for me.

I hopped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body, I walk to my dresser and pick out my outfit. It wasn't much just a black hoodie, blue jeans and ugg boots. I changed into my clothes and walked back into the bathroom to do my hair. I brushed it out and put it up into a messy bun before I walked back into my room. I grabbed my glasses and phone and walked downstairs, I didn't even care that I looked like a mess.

Arriving at school, I again was left to walk alone by Bella. I pulled my hoodie closer to my neck to try and hide the bruise that wrapped around my neck. Going into my first class I sighed and sat down, writing down what the teacher wrote on the chalkboard. It was all just stupid revision.... I was just glad that today was the last day of school before spring break, after my first two classes it was lunch.

When I grabbed my lunch and sat down I was bombarded by questions from the other girls, "what's wrong you look like crap?"
Grace said.

"Nothing's wrong" I mumbled.

"Have you even slept?" Sophia asked.

"Yes I slept" I lied, "can you guys stop asking questions?" I asked/demanded.

They sunk back in their seats. I opened up my book and began to read.

"What do you thinks wrong with her?" Grace whispered.

"I don't know," she answered.

"Do you think it's that time of the month?" Grace asked.

"You know I can hear you," I growled. I shut my book and gathered my things before I walked away.

"Abby!" Panda called out, running toward me.

"Not now Panda!" I growled, walking passed her. I took a seat next to Bella and slammed my book down onto the table, maybe a little harder than I intended.

"Abby? What's wrong?" Bella asked.

"Nothing! Nothing's wrong! Nothing at all!" I said, opening my book.

"Well then..." Eric said.

I rolled my eyes and began to read again.

For the rest of the day, I ignored everyone. I didn't even make eye contact to anyone, not even Edward. Walking into maths I sat in my designated seat, I opened my book to a new page. "What's wrong?" Edward whispered.

"Nothing." I sighed in annoyance.

"Something's wrong, tell me?" Edward whispered.

"Nothing. Is. Wrong!" I growled.

I was lying. Everything was wrong. I'm being hunted down by a psychotic vampire, I've almost died multiple times over the past week and I have feelings for my sisters boyfriend. I just wish I never got involved in this stuff. Why did curiosity have to get the best of me?

Edward looked at me as If he felt sorry for me. I already could tell that he was in my head.

"Stay. Out. Of. My. Head." I growled.

He looked back down at his book.

I was completely and utterly terrified, I was to scared to even go outside. His face, his evil smile, they all haunted me, every time I would close my eyes his face would show up.

Shaking my head I continued writing down the notes. I felt Edwards eyes on me, ignoring him I continued to write.

When the end of the day came, I walked out to the car and waited for Bella to come.

Once we arrived home, I threw my bag on the couch and jogged upstairs. I flopped onto my bed and snuggled into my pillow.

"Abby, mom wants to talk to you," Bella said, handing me the phone.

"Hey mom," I said, putting the phone to my ear.

"What's this about you not wanting  to come live with us at Jacksonville!?" She said. Great! Just great! This is exactly what I need. Another problem to deal with!

"Mom look I- after everything that happened with Matt I just- I don't feel safe with you," I admitted.

"Abby... Matt is gone, you know that," she said.

"You said that last time too but he came back," I said.

She sighed, "you should think about it, give me your finally decision in a few days."

"Ok, whatever" I sighed.

"I'll talk to you later, I love you Abby" she said.

"Love you too" I said and hung up the phone.
