~ Bella's POV ~

Walking into Forks High was torture I hated to walk through the doors because I knew that the day was just gonna be filled with pain. The good thing was that Edwards locker was right beside mine so even if we don't have a subject together, like gym thank god, then we would still see each other. Edward could see the nerves build up inside me and grabbed my hand squeezing it slightly trying to reassure me that everything will be okay. I smiled up at him and we got to the end of the corridor where Emmett and Rosalie departed. We said our goodbyes and arranged to meet in the cafeteria as we always did at morning break. Me, Edward, Alice and Jasper continued up the hall to our lockers where Alice and Jasper departed. I only noticed that me and Edward were still hand in hand when I tried to reach my locker door. He smiled and blushed and so did I and then he kissed the top of my hand and let it go. I didn't want him to let go off my hand. Ever. I felt very felt very safe with him even just holding hands with him I felt very safe. We opened our lockers and go our books out for the first two lessons.

"so", Edward said leaning his back against the locker.

I was still locking through my locker for a few things but I knew what he was going to ask he always does.

"How's your father", he asked.

I thought. Just tell him. You can end this.

"He's alright. Working a lot", I said.

"Yeah, I would have guess. So are you alright for going shopping with Pixie and Rose", he asked.

"Mmmm.. you know how I feel about shopping but I know Ali and Rose what's me to go" I said closing my locker.

"We can always do something just the two of us" he said.

I thought about it. If it was just the two of us I could try and tell him what happens at Charlie's.

"It's alright I don't want the wrath of Ali and Rose", I said.

He laughed and so did I.

"True", he said.

The first period bell started to ring. Maths. Great. Me and Edward started to walk up the hall way to our first class when we saw Jessica and her group. They gave me a death stare and Jessica waved to Edward. He didn't wave back. Just as we were about to cross them Jessica put her foot out in front of me to trip me and I noticed but it was too late. My foot caught hers and I went flying. When I came in contact with the floor my top teeth came in contact with my bottom lip which caused me to bite down and burst it is. Along with that I fell on my ankle and twisted it. Edward ran and helped me up although it was challenging to balance on one foot.

"Oh Bella your so clumsy. Be careful", Jessica said tormenting me.

"Jessica why don't you leave Bella along. What has she ever done to you", Edward asked angrily.

"What has she done? She's best friends with you and she likes you more than that. It's obvious and you can't even see it" she stated.

I was absolutely mortified. She was right. I do like Edward more than a friend and before Jessica went and told him it was a secret. I never told anyone even Alice or Rose. I was safe.

"Well, Jessica have you ever thought that I might feel the same as she does. Have you ever thought I like her more than a friend too. Because I do. She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and she'll always be a way better girl than you", Edward said.

Oh..my..god. Was he serious or just saying that to get rid of Jessica and her group. It did work they sighed and walked off. Edward then turned to me still holding me up supporting me making sure I don't put to much weight on my foot.

"Bella, what I said just now I meant it. You mean everything to me. Being friends with you is great but I don't want that forever. I want you. I want to spend everyday with you. I want to marry you and have a family with you. I always have", he said.

Tears started falling down my face and Edward wiped them away with his thumb. I can't believe he told me all that. He opened up to me and told me the truth. Why can I do that?

"Edward.. I love you and I want to spend forever with you but my life is not great and I don't want you to feel like you want to go away when it all comes crashing down", I said.

"Bella what do you mean by crashing down", he asked.

"I'll explain in time but not right now", I promised.

My lip started bleeding even more but I didn't want to go the medical room because Charlie would get a phone call and then I'd get it worse when I got home.

"Okay, let's get you to the nurse", he said starting to walk.

"NO!.. I mean I don't want to go to the nurse", I protested.

"Why not", Edward asked puzzled.

"Let's just say it's got to do with my life crashing down", I said.

He sighed and thought for a moment.

"Okay, how about I take you to my dad. He's off work today and we can go to mines and he can have a look", he said.

"Okay. Thank you", I said.

His dad Carlisle is a doctor at Forks hospital. He's a great doctor. I do hate the hospital and I usually have to always go but Charlie refuses to take me. Edward supported me as I walked and I leaned on him for extra support. We got out the building without getting spotted by any teacher and then we reached his car. Edward opened the passenger door and helped me in. He placed my bag in the back passenger seat and hoped in himself. He looked at me for a few moments and then started the car.

"Bella, listen. I don't care what you say. I'm gonna stay with you even if you life does come crashing down but even if it does I won't let it okay. Please give me a chance", he pleaded.

I thought. It would be great is me and Edward chanced our relationship. And I know he will protect me.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance", I said forcing a smile.

He smiled back but I can tell it was genuine unlike mine.

When we got to his house he pulled into the driveway. His house was massive like a mansion. It have about six rooms two living rooms a massive kitchen and all rooms were on suites.

After turning off the engine Edward came around to my side and helped me out. While walking to the front door I became very dizzy and faint.

"Edward, I don't feel good", I said and then I started to feel my body do numb.

Edward picked me up in his arms and carried me into the house.

"Bella, open your eyes", I heard him say. But I couldn't.

Once inside Edward placed me down on the sofa and then called for Carlisle. I heard Carlisle's feet rapidly tap the floor boards. He was running.

"What happened", he asked kneeling down beside me.

"Jessica and her friends. They tripped her up and she hurt herself pretty bad. She started feel dizzy out side in the front when we got out the car", Edward explained.

I started to feel my eyes open a little but my vision was a little blurry.

"Why didn't you go to the school nurse", he asked.

"Bella didn't want to and then I offered to bring her to you. I'm sorry, Dad. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know how bad it was", Edward said.

I could hear his voice cracking which meant he was getting upset about it.

"Edward. Son. Don't worry. I'm glad you brung her to me", Carlisle reassured him.

My vision came back and I tried to sit up but Carlisle told me not to.

"Edward", I said trying to look for him.

"Hey, I'm here. I'm right here", he said.

I didn't know Carlisle had disappeared until he had his medical bag in his hand. He first took out an eye light to check my eyes and make sure I didn't have concussion. He then checked my head for anything that would explain my dizzy spell.

"Hmm, Bella did you hit your head when you fell", he asked.

"No, not that I can remember", I admitted.

He nodded. I saw him gesture Edward to leave the room with him so I didn't hear what was going on

~ Edward POV ~

I was looking down at Bella on the couch and wondered why Jessica is being so mean to her. Ever since being friends with Bella Jessica has treated her like trash. It's not fair. After checking Bella over my Dad came across on her head and Bella wasn't sure if she had hit it when she fell. I looked up at Carlisle who was gesturing for me to go outside the room with him. I looked down at Bella one last time before exiting with my Dad.

"What's going", I asked.

"The lump on her head isn't from today", he explained.

"What, how do you know", I asked worried.

"The lump isn't big enough to be done when she fell today", he said.

I thought for a moment and then I remembered. Life coming crashing down.

"Wait, she said something about her life coming crashing down", I said

She isn't just talking about Jessica.

"What do you think she meant by that", he asked.

"I'm not sure but I think she isn't just talking about school. She said that she'll tell me in time. Dad I told how I felt", I said.

"You did. That's great. What did she say", he asked.

"She feels the same and she's going to give a me a chance", I explained.

"Aww son, that's great. I'm so happy for you", he said bringing me into a hug.

I was going to get to the bottom of whatever Bella is hiding. Even if it killed me.
