YES. I am posting a new story. I'm sorry, hahah. This one I wrote while babysitting friday night, and I love it. I've had it in my head longer than some of my other fanfics. This doesn't mean I'm not going to update them though--

THIS IS A SHORT STORY.

I'm sorry that you guys like longer stories, but i have three of them I'm currently working on, so I like having these cute little short things to have fun with. It won't be updated as often as the others, it's just here for when I think 'wtf I don't want to work on The Lighthouse/Camarilla/Clandestine/supertopsecretstory.'

And I really like the supertopsecret story.

Anyhow, let me know ifyou like it! I always thought this would be interesting...


Accident and Emergency

Chapter 1: Crashing into you

"Bella you have a good day now, alright?" Mrs. Cope called as I made my way from the office. I turned to walk backwards and waved at her, smiling widely. I was more than happy to finally have my schedule figure out.

Of course, me being the largest klutz in all of Forks, I should have known that my walking backwards would be disastrous. I banged into someone with a loud 'Oof!' losing my footing and grabbing on to the door jamb at the same time that they grabbed my arms tightly.

"You okay Bella?" Edward asked kindly, stepping out around me once I was steadied on my feet. I blushed.

"Oh, I'm just peachy!" I gushed sarcastically. "Of course, my day wouldn't be complete if I hadn't have tried to injure you in some way, Edward." He grinned at me and chuckled, before waving a small good bye and turning to Mrs. Cope, his course selection sheet in his hand as well.

Seems like Masen was having trouble with his schedule too. I just shook my head and let the office door shut behind me before rushing through the light rain to get to my car.

To inform you a little on my current situation of over the top heart beats and loss of breath, also the blood pooling in my cheeks. Edward Masen is pretty much the most attractive guy in existance. And even that doesn't do him justice.

I'm a senior in high school, Forks High, located in Forks, Washington. It rains more on this infinitesimally small town than anywhere else in the world. My parents had made roots here when I was young, and kept them, still as in love as the day they met in high school.

Edward was in my Biology class last year, and was also my lab partner. I'd heard of him before then, he'd recently moved to Forks from Seattle the year before. His father was an amazing doctor and had taken a position in our hospital. In those few months sitting next to Edward I had grown possibly the largest crush in the history of humanity, though I knew it would never be reciprocated.

Edward was, as I've stated, gorgeous. And I am nothing but a plain, small town girl. Long brown hair, big brown eyes. Pretty much sums it up. I'm also so pale that the only thing affirming I am not an albino is the dull brown in my appearance. As was also pointed out, I am extremely clumsy. I think maybe a maximum of twenty classes went by out of all of last year where I did not hurt Edward. Something always happened, at least. I tripped, fell, brought him with me, a slide came flying out of my hand and into his face, my finger slipped and nearly got him when dissecting a frog. There was of course the time I fainted at the smell of the blood when we were typing for class. He'd at least been so kind as to bring me to the nurses office.

Edward and I were never really friends though. We knew each other well, well enough to be civil in public whenever was necessary. But, we didn't have the sort of relationship where we'd go out to a mall or a movie, we wouldn't drive around after school or anything. I didn't get rides when desperate from him, I didn't study with him outside of free Biology classes. We were acquaintances, and sadly for me and my throbbing heart, it was all we would ever be.

I was fine with that though. I'd made peace with myself over the summer, deciding not to let myself cry over the most beautiful creature on the planet. I would be friendly to him when necessary, I would not pine over him this year. This year, I'd be a good student, get into a school on a scholarship, and meet some amazing boy... someday.

These were the thoughts running through my head as I sat in my car, arranging my newly acquired books in a pile in the passenger seat. I went through each one, writing my name inside, deciding to bring my English books back the next day, since I'd already read them all, and owned copies.

I was throwing my bookbag onto the floor and adjusting my coat when there was a tapping on my window. I looked over my shoulder and was met with the brilliantly emerald green eyes of Edward as he grinned at me.

"You wouldn't happen to be waiting for me, were you?" he asked jokingly. I rolled my eyes at him.

"Don't count on it," I muttered. "Luckily for you I'm the most unorganised person in the world and just couldn't get out of here fast enough to avoid your ugly mug." Edward let his jaw hang open and touched his chest, feigning hurt.

"Bella you have wounded me," he sighed dramatically. "I fear my ego will never be the same." We stared, quiet for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"I'll see you across the street," he said before climbing into his Volvo, parked behind my monster of a truck.

Oh yeah. The other problem with the whole Edward thing was that he was my neighbour, lived across the street from me, in fact. Of course, whenever he had the lights on in his room at night and neglected to drop his blinds it offered a pleasant view.

I pulled out of the parking lot, trying my best to ignore the thundering rumbles of my trucks engine as I went. My street had two entrances, and I opted for the farther one, letting Edward take the first so that he wouldn't be stuck behind me. Our houses were closer to the second entrance anyway.

I pulled around the corner, trying my best not to kill any stray dogs or children. Children would be bad.

But what was worse was what did happen.

And who would have thought that at the exact instant I looked down to adjust the temperature, a CD would come flying from it's holder in Edward's car and he'd look down briefly to get it. And, who would have thought that we'd both drift towards the centre of the road, directly in front of our houses?

Crash!

Fate was cruel.

I jerked violently in my seat and looked up frightened, my stomach lurching as I tried to figure out exactly what had happened. So much for not being a danger to him this year. Not to mention the fact that my truck crushed his puny little Volvo. I looked down at him horrified, and he stared straight ahead, his hands still on the wheel. Both of the drivers sides of our cars were molded together from the collison. Thankful for my door being so high, I was still able to hold it, but I was fairly certain that Edward was stuck until he shook out of it.

I opened the door and jumped to the small amount of pavement visible between the hood of his car and the side of mine. I climbed over the front of his car to the passenger door. I could not believe this was happening.

"Edward?" I called frantically, pulling on the handle of his door. "Edward are you alright?" He jumped, his seat belt holding him in place and looked over at me, terrified. He rolled down his window, his mouth still agape and unable to say a word. He nodded fainly and I buried my face in my hands, pulling on my hair.

"I can't believe this. I am so, so sorry. I'm going to call my dad and run and get your parents, climb out of the car, okay?" I left him, running full tilt into my house and grabbing the phone on the kitchen wall. Mom wasn't home yet, still at work at the primary school.

"Dad?" I asked as soon as he answered. "I was just in an accident. Please get home, it's right outside our house." I hung up without waiting for him, certain I'd hear sirens in a moment. I ran across the street, pretty much clearing it in three leaps. I didn't bother to knock on the door like I normally might. Edward's parents, or his aunt and uncle, rather, were already in the porch and looked at me with sad eyes.

I didn't know how much this was going to affect Edward, and I hoped he wouldn't be the type to completely close off. His biological parents had died in a car crash when he was eight, and since then had been living with his Uncled Carlisle in Seattle, until the recent move here. He always called them Mom and Dad, though, it seemed more natural to him.

I hurried to the passenger door, Edward was slowly unbuckling his seat belt. I held open the door for him and offered my hand. He looked up dazed and took it, climbing over the gear shift.

"I'm sorry," he mumbled. "I didn't mean to hit you." I shook my head furiously.

"No, Edward, I'm just as much to blame." There were the sirens, Dad was close by now.

"How about.. we hit each other, since we basically did," Edward offered with a slight twitch of his lips. I nodded.

Then, a grin broke out on my face. "Is it terrible for me to say I'm glad I hit you?"

Edward chuckled. "No, I was thinking the same way. This would be a totally different situation if you were some stranger."


I also had a few of my friends read this, and Iyeshana thought it was sort of creepy that she watched him change at night... I didn't mean for it to be creepy though. :(

This story is dedicated to brunettezki, because she said "You know what would be funny? If Edward and Bella met because she crashed into his car." and then I said; "Dude I wrote that already." :D
