I sat In Biology alone, thinking of all the ways my life had gotten worse sonic coming to Forks. By the end of the lesson, I was ready to go home. I was glad for the doctor's note excusing me from all forms of physical education. After showing the woman at reception my note and telling her I really didn't feel too great anyway, she said it would be fine if I went home early. She was being quite sweet to me, which actually only made me feel worse.

I started to walk home. My jeans still weren't completely dry, but my legs were pretty numb so it didn't matter. In fact, my legs weren't the only part of me that was numb. I just, couldn't get enough energy going to care. I was not In the mood for vampire games. And, maybe, my sentence here would be over before I knew it, and I'd be free to go back home, or maybe somewhere more interesting like New York. Now, that would be fun.

I unlocked the door, and made my way straight to my small room In the house. I opened the door to see Chris sat on my bed.

"Alex, I'm going to explain myself, whether you want me to or not." he stood up, stepping towards me, I stepped back out of the room.

"Fine, say your piece and go," I shook my head. I'd let him get it off his chest so he could leave me alone. Then, we could put this whole thing behind us.

"I'm nearly 200 years old, and the truth is, I've never had a girlfriend, unfortunately, it's public knowledge and sort of a running joke between everyone else, you know, maybe he's just gay, or whatever" he looked down uncomfortably, "so, when I started liking you, it was a big deal for everyone. Because, well, it's definitely a first." he finished, looking up at me.

"Done?" I asked, not caring if I sounded rude, "So, I've officially heard you out, you can leave," I stepped aside, leaving him enough room to get passed.

"But, I mean, you're clearly over reacting," he choked out.

"I probably am," I shrugged, "But It's not a side affect of the cocaine. I am thinking it must be love," I shook my head, "I'm not sure why I said that," I started to feel really dizzy, "You need to get Carlisle, please," I muttered as I slowly sank to the ground. My head was spinning so fast. I couldn't even see the room anymore.

I think I passed out. Because, I woke up groggily In a big room, not my own, not In Charlie's house for sure. Something was going on around me, there were lots of voices all talking.

"Everyone, she's awake," Edward said, his voice carrying above the others.

"You still should've told em what was wrong with her," Chris's voice snapped. Great, so now my secret's out of the bag.
