Chapter one: Disappearance

Bpov.

Beep beep! I groaned as I hit the snooze button of my alarm clock. I turned to the side to look for my angel but he wasn't there. Frowning in deep thought as I intended to walk into the bathroom but instead walked into the wall. Note to self: don't think while walking.

After eating my cereal I almost ran to the door with my bag, when I opened it there was no silver Volvo, just my beat up old truck. Did he go hunting? No, he went yesterday…where could he be?

Pulling up into the parking space, I looked out my window and expected him to be there, smiling that crooked smile and helping me out of my truck, giving me an explanation as to why he wasn't at my house this morning. I was knocked out of my imagination by a sharp tap on the window pane. It was Mike. He looked so happy, probably 'because I wasn't with Edward.

"Hi Bella! Um…where's Edward?" he said, looking around for Edward.

"He's not with me Mike." I said flatly, I didn't like the idea that he wasn't with me.

"Oh. So did you break up?" Mike asked, hope gleaming in his eyes.

"No!" that came out sharper than I wanted it but I was mad that he wanted me to break up with the love of my life.

Mike look taken aback at my tone.

"Oh. Uh…s-sorry." He said looking at his shoes, hiding his face in shame. "So…what happened? Did you guys fight or something?"

"What? We're perfectly fine Mike, why do you think something happened?" I asked, looking at him as though he were crazy.

Mike's expression changed at my words. "Then…w-why is he hanging out with that hot new girl?"

Oh did they "adopt" again? Edward would have told me if they did. So this wasn't a vampire. Wait! No! Edward is not cheating! He wouldn't! Tears started to drip from my eyes.

"Oh god Bella! I knew it! What did he do to you? Did he hurt you? What happened?" said Mike, looking concerned but I could tell through the mask that he was proud that he could "comfort me in my time of need".

"Nothing. Look, we're going to be late for class so let's go." I said, wiping the tears away.

When we entered the classroom I saw Edward straighten his back from leaning towards someone sitting beside him. A very pretty someone sitting beside him. Flames of fury burst out immediately, I was sure Jasper could sense it from another country. Edward was staring at me, no emotion at all, no pity, no shame, nothing. The girl sitting next to him looked at me too. She was very pretty indeed, she had extremely dark hair, bright blue eyes and had just slightly tanned skin.

When she understood that I was looking at her, she smiled sweetly, perfect teeth.

Edward glided smoothly to me, flashing Mike a warning look, but Mike moved in front of me protectively.

"Y-you stay away from Bella!" Mike stuttered, eyes zipping around the room as though looking for someone to help, he didn't succeed. Mike looked up into Edward's topaz eyes that were darker than they were before because of Mike's words.

"I beg your pardon?" the vampire said coldly, reaching around him for me. I shifted away. He quietly growled.

Suddenly there was a hand on Edward's shoulder it was the new girl's. Edward looked at her stern face, which was giving him some kind of warning. Edward just nodded, backed way and walked back to his seat, the girl following him, then sitting in her seat.

Mike remained standing in front of me, still staring at Edward, expecting him to jump at us or something.

"Um…Mike? I need to get to my seat." I said in the steadiest voice I could muster.

"Oh, okay." Said Mike awkwardly, moving away for me to pass, then following me to my seat and taking the one next to it. I sat in the desk farthest away, and still wasn't that close to the front, from Edward's desk. Edward looked at me in a "what the hell are you doing?!" sort of way. I was about to mouth something to him but the bell rang and class started.

I avoided Edward and his gaze in every class until lunch, he had caught me before I could escape through the door.

"Why are you avoiding me? What's wrong? Why did Newton tell me to stay away from you? What did you tell him…?" this train of questions continued until I held up my hand in a "stop" position.

I sat down at an empty table; Edward sat down across from me. He leaned in to talk but I held my hand up again before he could start.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking questions? Like why weren't you at my house this morning? Or what the hell are you doing with that girl?!" my voice was audible to the tables next to us now; luckily no one was paying attention. They were too busy murmuring about "the hot new chick".

Edward looked down at the table and shifted uneasily. I've never seem this uncertain. Is he really cheating on me?
