Is she going to pass out? What do i do? Mike panicked.

A hundred yards away, Mike Newton was lowering Bella's limp body to the sidewalk. She slumped unresponsively against the wet concrete, her eyes closed, her skin chalky as a corpse.

I almost took the door off the car.

"Bella?" I shouted.

There was no change in her lifeless face when I yelled her name.

My whole body went colder than ice.

I was aware of Mike's aggravated surprise as I sifted furiously through his thoughts. He was only thinking of his anger toward me, so I didnt know what was wrong with Bella. If he'd done somethingto harm her, I would annihilate him.

And then she started to walk away from me.

Without thinking about my action, I reached out and caught her by the back of her rain jacket. She jerked to a stop. 

"Where do you think you're going?" I was almost angry that she was leaving me. I hadnt had enough time with her. She couldnt go, not yet. 

...

"I am perfectly capable of driving myself home!"

Of course she was- I just wasnt capable of letting her go.

...

"What's your mother like?" I asked as a distraction.

Bella smiled. "She looks a lot like me. but she's prettier."

I doubted that.
