Angsty B/E, alternate ending of J/E

--Bella POV--

"What are you thinking about?"

It was about eleven o'clock at night, and Edward was lying behind me with his arm around me,his cool skin refreshing on mine.I'd really grown used to the Forks climate bt now,and the warmth of the summer night wasn't enough to make me sweat or feel uncomfortable, but I definitely prefferred the warmth under the blankets with his granite skin cooling mine.

Silence.

Charlie let out a rumbling snore.

And then "How much you remind me of a fragile pocelain doll in the moonlight..."

"Honestly Edward, we've been over this a million times!"the exasparation was clear in my voice even though it was hushed so we wouldn't wake Charlie "I'll only be fragile until after the wedding, and it's not that far away now, I doubt if anything dangerous is going to happen to me between now and next month!"

"And I'm sure it won't,unless you crash your truck from lack of sleep.Goodnight."

He pecked my cheek, and even that made my heart pound and made me sigh slightly, but I couldn't help but wonder what expression was on his face as I drifted towards sleep.

--Edward POV--

She looked so fragile,so breakable, so vunerable with a streak of moonlight splayed across her relaxed features, and I felt even more protective of her than I usually do.It was my job to protect her, and I wouldn't let her out of my sight again until she was changed,and maybe not even then.

Once I was sure that she was sleeping I let my thoughts drift back to where they kept returning to: the vision that Alice had on the way to school that morning.

I had to protect her.

Alice said that they would pass through before the week was out.I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened the last time a new coven had passed through.

What if one of them was a hunter,like James?

What if the hunter decided to hunt her,like James?

I wouldn't be able to bear it, she had already had so much dumped on her, enough to make any regular 18 year old go crazy, it didn't seem fair to make her deal with this as well, which was why I hadn't picked her up the second that I heard Alice's thoughts, which was why I hadn't even told her...

I'm not sure what time exactly I came to the decision, but I decided to tell her as soon as she woke up.It wasn't fair to make her deal with so much, but I wasn't prepared to take any more risks with her.

I had to protect her.

I began forming a plan in my mind, we needed to leave imediately...Without disturbing her, I stood by the window and spoke to Alice in a hushed,fast voice on my phone.I asked her to set everything up- bags,car, a letter to Charlie that got 'delayed in the post' saying that Bella had qualified for a scholarship to a college in Dakota, and that she was expected to go for a trial run of a week on campus-free,of course.

Once I had everything sorted out I lay back down beside my love,and I went over my plans in my head,making sure that there were no holes in my logic,and that she would be completely safe until the sun began to rise and cast shadows and bars of pinky light on her innocent, clueless, beautiful face.

It was my job to protect her.

And I would do so completely willingly.

Alrighty then...so, what do you think?

At the moment it's a B/E, but time changes things...It will be a Jakeward after I finish the fic and start an alternate ending!

Sorry for the ridiculous short-ness of this chapter,the next ones will be longer!
