The school week passed quickly for Andy. She talk to a few people in class and sat with Bella and her friends at lunch.

It also became a routine for her to leave the cafeteria early and meet Alice and Jasper outside of her next class. Whether she waits for them, or if they wait for her they also met, and they always had conversations about an assortment of things. It was during those times that she felt most normal.

So when school ended on Friday, Andy wasted no time in dragging Bella directly to the truck.

Both girls slowed when they got to the car. Bella stopped at the drivers side to grab her keys as Andy made to go around the front of the truck.

"Andy, wait, could you you help me look for my keys?" Bella asked.

Pausing slightly, Andy takes a moment to think before looking back over at her sister. "You put them in your pencil case so you wouldn't lose-"

A loud screeching and honking caused both girls to spin around. Tyler, a friend of Bella's, van come skidding in their direction.

Knowing that she wasn't fast enough to get out of the way herself, Bella quickly shoves andy to the side.

Landing hard on the ground, the side of Andy's head makes contact with the ground. Feeling like everything is out of focus, she hears a byzzing in her head.

She gently lifts her hand to probe the area and feels a warm stickiness. Knowing that she's bleeding, she goes back and feels a deep cut on the side of her head.

When Andy feels like she might me okay to move again, she shakily crawls towards the truck and over to Bella.

"Bella?" she calls out.

Hearing her sister, Bella turns and reaches for ber sister. Pulling her into a tight hug.

"Ow," Andy whimpers.

"Oh god, I'm sorry. Are you okay?" Bella gently grabs her sisters face and moves it around. "Look at what I did to you. Im so sorry."

"Bella, stop, wait, you saved me. You're like a hero," Andy tell her sister, trying to calm her. " you dont have to keep looking if its making you uncomfortable, the blood I mean."

"No. It's okay. I'm okay," her older sister tells her. "They already called an ambulance so you're going to be fine. In case you were wondering."

Seeing her sisters grin, Andy laughs.

"I honesty forgot about an ambulance," she honestly replies.

Across the parking lot, the Cullen's stood watching the Swan's in bewilderment.

Andy Swan was bleeding heavily from her head and the blood had no scent. The bloodflow already stopping, like the wound had clotted in a matter of minutes.

Jasper and Alice already knew there was something different about the girl, but this was a puzzle to all of them.

The also watched in awe as the bruises that were visible on Bella Swan slowly started to fade, like they were never there in the first place.

Not one of them notice a slight golden glow that surrounded Andy's small hands.

The Swan girls always hated hospitals. Bella because she was in them far too often. Andy because it made her feel like she was suffocating. She always felt like there were so many emotions weighing down on her chest that it physically hurt her.

Andy watched as Bella got checked up by Dr. Cullen, Carlisle. She listenned closely to everything he said in case she needed to watch out for her sister.

She then watched as her sister went after Edward to speak with him.

Her turn didnt go nearly as fast as she would have liked. It didn't help that her father kept asking to make sure she was alright.

"Andrea Swan, looks like you hit your head rather good," Carlisle tells her.

"Jut Andy please. And it wasn't that hard."

"Well let's just take a look," he says as he goes to examine her head. "The cut is relatively deep, but not enough that you should need stitches."

Andy sat in confusion, she could have sworn that the cut was deeper than he says.

"It doesn't even hurt," she whines. "It could have been much worse actually. You should have seen it! Bella saved my life."

Carlisle looks at her with a small smile. He then proceeds to apply a andage and wrap gauze around her head. "Sounds like you care very much for your sister."

"Oh, shes my hero," she tells him seriously. "She has always been my hero, ever since I was little."

Andy turns to look him dead in the eye. "I would be lost without her. She means the world to me," she tells him softly.

Carlisle is taken back by the honesty of the young girl. From what he's heard from Alice and Jasper she isn't very open.

"Dr. Cullen? Your children are Alice and Jasper, right? They spend time with me at lunch. They're very nice, I like them a lot."

Carlisle move to check her pupils, nodding in understanding once he realizes that she has a very bad concusion. She wouldn't be like this otherwise.

"Everyone at school always says that Jasper is weird you know. They say the same thing about me too sometimes. I hear them. No one thinks I notice, but I notice everything; or at least I try to."

"I'm sure they're very fond of you as well," he says.

"I like Jasper best, but don't tell Alice. I just feel like he understands me for some reason,"she pauses and stares at the wall. "Do you think I'll have to take painkillers or something? Because I don't know how they'll react to my meds."

Looking at her chart, Carlisle nods along slowly. "We can figure something out for that, don't worry. Okay, now you need to keep the bandage for a couple of days. Its normal to spot blood, but if it seems to be too much then dont be afraid to come in. You'll also need to come back in next week for a checkup."

Yawning and lowly humming to herself, Andy looked for her father and sister.

Seeing that her family wasn't around, she frowned, closed her eyes and continued to hum to herself.

"Can I nap?" Andy asked no one in particular.

When Andy got home, all she wanted to do was take a shower and and go to bed. Bella had other plans for her.

After her shower, Bella practically shoved food done her throat to make sure that she ate something.

Sitting at the table, she waited for Bella's permission to leave thr room. As Bella was finishing cleaning up, she tried to slip away to bed.

"Freeze," Bella held out her hand to her sister. "Meds and painkillers."

Andy quickly takes the pills, then moves to head to bed.

"I have some things I want to talk to you about," Bella tells her.

Sitting on her bed, Andy stares at her sister.

"He what?" she questions.

"He saved me."

"How? He was on the other side of the lot," she reasons.

"I don't know, but I want to find out," Bella states.

"Have you noticed anything else?"

Bella chews on her fingernail in concentration. "His eyes... They, uh- change color."

"Okay, so his eyes change color, he um is really pale, and he's really fast. He- they never eat either," Andy thinks out loud.

"What are you thinking?" Bella asks.

"I think we should watch them more, pay better attention to them. We're both really smart, but I think we should wait a little bit before we google," Andy explains, laughing at the last part.
