BPOV
As I was getting ready to cross the street a big man tackled me.
"AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH. GET OFF ME YOU SON OF A BITCH".
I tried to knee him in the balls and he caught that so he punched me in the face. I knew that I had to get him off of me if there was any chance that I could get away. But at this point I was so pissed off that all I wanted to do was beat the shit out of him. He started to go for my purse and I held on with all that I had.
"JUST LET GO OF THE PURSE LADY"
"FUCK YOU ASSHOLE"
"ITS JUST A PURSE. LET GO"
"IT'S A BRAND NEW PRADA!!!!"
"Well if your not going to give up the purse then maybe I'll get something else from you" he whispered into my ear. At that moment two things happened; one I was scared for my life and two I was pissed. The next part happened all to fast. I was able to roll him on his back and I started to punch him. Then the next thing I knew I was being lifted off of him and dragged across the street with my purse in my hand. Then I saw the guy who assaulted me trying to run away but he was being chased by an even bigger guy and then eventually tackled to the ground. I was put down on porch steps and I was finally able to look into the eyes of my rescuer. My heart skipped a beat as I looked into the most beautiful pair of emerald green eyes I've ever seen. They looked as though they were in pain and I couldn't help but try to comfort him. I put a hand on his cheek and he closed his eyes at my touch. It was one of the most beautiful moments I have ever shared with a man.
Then we were brought back to the real world when I heard his friend right next to us on the phone "yes ma'am. She is right here and seems to have only small injuries. My friend apprehended the man who assaulted her. Yes ma'am. No she is safe here. Yes. Ok. Thank you." I was stunned at how beautiful this man was to. He was tall and muscular and blond and gorgeous. He looked at me and asked all of the questions that I would expect my father to ask me (are you hurt? What happened? Do you need anything?) I replied that I was fine and I just wanted to go home. "I'm sorry…." He made a hand motion asking for my name "oh Bella" I replied. "Bella the police are on there way to arrest the man that attacked you and I think they are going to want to take a formal statement" he stated mater-of-factly. "Oh. Well then I'm going to call my friends to come sit with me if that's ok." I looked at him quizzically. He said that it was fine and looked at me and my rescuer, smirked, and walked away. It was then that I realized that we were holding hands. I pulled away and apologized then remembered that hair from earlier. He was the man with the beautiful bronze colored hair.
"Hi" he said to me. "Hi back" I replied. He offered his hand to me and said, "My name is Edward. Sorry I didn't get to you before he punched you. It looks like you're gonna have a nice shiner by morning." I grabbed at my face and regretted it immediately. It was one of the worst pains that I had felt in a long while. Edward ran into the house and was back in a few moments with an ice pack for my face. At that moment the man I recognized from earlier, Emmett, walked into the gates of the house dragging my attacker behind him. Then he threw him on the ground and was sitting on him. I was so thankful to these three men for what they had done that all I could do was cry. I was so embarrassed and I tried to hide the tears but Edward caught me and put a comforting arm around my shoulder.
I couldn't take another second of feeling helpless and alone so I called Rosalie. I knew between her and Alice she would be the more rational. I flipped open my phone and dialed Rosalie's number. Two rings later she picked up.
"Hey bells. Are you still at work? I thought you'd be home by now?"
"Rose…" that was all I could say before I started to sob. Edward put his arm around me again and grabbed the phone from me to speak to Rosalie. I wrapped my arms around Edwards's waist and just cried. I couldn't help it. This brought back so many bad memories that I had tried to bury. But now as I was sitting here they just all bubbled to the surface and were spilling out. I calmed my breathing and listened to Edward as he tried to calm down a frantic Rosalie.
"My name is Edward. No I… Well she… I would nev… you got it wro… can I finish please?"
I had to let out a little giggle because I knew that Rosalie was giving him the third degree.
"As I said my name is Edward I live on the corner of Bath and Canon Perdido. Bella was on her way home from work and a man assaulted her. My friends and I heard her yell and we walked out to see what was the matter and then helped her when we saw what was going on. No she's fine. She's going to have a black eye in the morning but I think she should be ok. You can come over of course it's the house on the corner. My roommates and I and Bella are out in the front yard. Ok. Bye."
He shut the phone and handed it back to me and then said, "well your friend Rosalie sure is something" I smiled and said, "yeah she can be a little over protective but I love her for it" then we sat in silence for about two minutes before I heard Alice screaming at Rosalie. "ROSE WILL YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? WHERE IS BELLA? WHAT HAPPENED? DAMNIT ROSALIE… WHERE IS SHE???" then they turned the corner and Alice saw me with an ice pack saw the man trapped under a massive Emmett and then it clicked. She ran towards me and fell at my feet "Bella are you ok? What happened? Did he hurt you?" As Alice bombarded me with twenty-one questions I saw Rosalie get "the look" and knew that no one was safe. She walked over to Emmett and pushed him off of my attacker and then started to punch him. Emmett went to grab her but she saw him coming and punched him in the nose. Then she started in on my attacker again. "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? Punch "DO YOU THINK THAT THIS IS OK?" punch "YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF" Alice and I got up and went over to her to calm her down. She had beaten the guy unconscious. Edward and the blond man were tending to Emmett who had a bloody nose. It was then that we heard the sirens coming towards us. Alice sat me back down and rose was apologizing to a very hurt Emmett.
The police arrived to find an unconscious man on the lawn me on the steps with Alice and Edward and Rosalie in the kitchen with Emmett and the blonde whose name I still didn't know. We went through all the questions and when they asked who had beaten up the attacker Emmett came out of the house and said that he had done it. He made up a story of how they had gotten in a fight when he tried to get away and the guy punched him and he "took him down" then the paramedics looked at me Emmett and the unconscious man and determined that we all needed medical attention. I tried to say I was fine but the paramedic thought that I had a broken cheekbone. So then we were all off to the hospital. Alice came with me and Edward went with Emmett. Jasper and Rosalie followed in the car. They had been staring at each other the whole time we were outside. He wasn't her type so I knew something was up.
We all got to the hospital but it was a busy night. Emmett was done before I was and all three of the boys waited patiently in the waiting room while I was being treated. Alice knows how I am about hospitals so she tried to make some conversation to distract me. "So Edward is cute." She said with a smirk. "You did not do him justice when describing him," Rosalie returned then from talking to the boys and she brought me a diet coke. Alice continued on with her observations by stating "so rose… it looks like you and the blond one have something going on! Care to share?" rose gave her a revolted look and replied, "First of all the "blonde one" has a name, Jasper, and second that is disgusting. He is my cousin." We both just looked at her in shock then she explained " I knew I knew him from somewhere. But I couldn't place it. He looked so familiar and then when we were taking Emmett, who is really cute by they way, to the kitchen he was saying something about how no one could find out that he got his nose broken by a girl. I think he said 'Jasper, if you tell anyone about my nose being broken by a girl I'll kick your ass' it was when I heard his name that I asked what his last name was. He said it was Whitlock and then it hit me. His mom and my dad were brother and sister." We just stared at her. It wasn't often that rose talked about her family. Her aunt and dad were very close growing up. Jasper and Rosalie as it turns out were born on the same day and they spent most of their childhood together. But there was a falling out between brother and sister and the two hardly spoke. To lighten the now tense air Alice stated "so then is he single? He's really cute!" she had the biggest grin on her face. Rosalie said that she didn't know but she would find out.
As it turns out I did have a hairline fracture in my cheek but the doctor said that it would heal in no time and prescribed me some painkillers. As I was being released my nurse, a really sweet woman in her twenties named Shawna, told us "you guys have some really sweet boyfriends." I looked at her puzzled and asked, "how do you mean?" I almost laughed when she told us what Emmett had said. She said that she asked how he got the broken nose and he told her that he was trying to protect his girlfriend, Rosalie, from being attacked by the attacker and took a punch for her. Then as they were waiting for information on me Shawna wouldn't give them any so Edward was telling her that we were a couple and he had a right to know what was going on and she then assumed that Alice and Jasper were also a couple. I didn't have the strength to correct her so I just went with it. Rose and Alice both got evil smirks on their faces and I knew that they were going to have a little fun with the guys.
We walked into the waiting room and the guys' immediately stood up and came over to us. Edward put his arms around me in a protective hug and asked me how I was feeling. To be quite honest I was on cloud nine. Not only did I have to take some pain meds before I left but I had this gorgeous man hugging me. I told him I was fine and we started to walk to the car. It was then that Rosalie and Alice started there little game. "So Emmett, where are we going on our first date?" he just looked at her and tried to form a sentence but all that came out was gibberish so rose continued "you know since you took a punch for me I have to think of a really really good way to thank you" she said with seductive eyes and a husky tone. Then Alice turned to Jasper and said in her cute little voice "You know Jasper, I can never thank you enough for what you did for my Bella. Is there anything you can think of for me to do that would say thank you?" he just stood and stared. Then Edward looked at me and asked me what was going on so I decided what the hell, I cant get any more embarrassed tonight so I started running my finger up and down Edwards chest and said "you know Edward as your girlfriend, I cant thank you enough for helping me tonight. When we get home maybe I can show you just how thankful I am" he almost passed out.
Rosalie, Alice, and I started laughing at there shocked expressions and rose was the one to say "Emmett if you ever say you're my boyfriend again I'll break more then just your nose and I'll tell everyone that it was me that did it in the first place." We started to laugh and continued to the car. Alice looked at us and said in a worried tone "you don't think it was to much do you?" rose said "Nope. I think that we'll all be on dates by Friday!"
EPOV
We stood in shock for a moment when we saw what was happening. Then we all sprung into action. The only thought in my mind was that I needed to get her away from him. We all knew what we needed to do. As Emmett and I were running to help her she had managed to roll her attacker onto his back and she was punching him while clinging to her purse for dear life. I made it across the street before Emmett and I swooped her into my arms and threw her over my shoulder and started to carry her back to my house. The attacker had gotten up and was now running from Emmett. He looked petrified and honestly I don't blame him. When Emmett is upset he is scary. I managed to get her to the porch steps where I gently placed her down. All I could do was stare into her deep chocolate brown eyes. I can't explain this feeling that I had. I felt guilty for letting this happen to her. I felt like I should have been there, I should have been quicker. She must have seen my internal struggle because she then placed a comforting hand on my cheek. I was instantly calmed at her touch.
Then jasper came out onto the porch and I assume he was talking to the cops. "Yes ma'am. She is right here and seems to have only small injuries. My friend apprehended the man who assaulted her. Yes ma'am. No she is safe here. Yes. Ok. Thank you." He hung up the phone and asked her all the questions I should have been asking her. He asked how she was feeling if she was hurt or if she needed anything. She said she was fine and she wanted to go home. Then I noticed that her hand had moved from my cheek and into my hand. I smirked to myself but didn't protest. Jasper then said, "I'm sorry…." He made a hand motion asking for her name "oh Bella" she replied. "Bella the police are on their way to arrest the man that attacked you and I think they are going to want to take a formal statement" her name was Bella. It was the most beautiful name that I had ever heard. "Oh. Well then I'm going to call my friends to come sit with me if that's ok." She asked. He said it was fine and then gave me that Jasper smirk. She must have realized then that we were holding hands because she pulled her hand away from mine and started to apologize.
"Hi" I said to her. "Hi back" She replied. I offered her my hand and said, "My name is Edward. Sorry I didn't get to you before he punched you. It looks like you're going to have a nice shiner by morning." She grabbed at her face and winced in pain. I ran into the house and was back in a few moments with an ice pack for her face. When I returned Emmett was dragging the sorry excuse of a man into the gate. I was so angry that I was tempted to go over there and beat the shit out of him. But my number one concern was Bella. Then Emmett threw him on the ground and was sitting on him. Then I heard Bella let out a little sob and I sat next to her and tried to comfort her while I put an arm around her. She must be going into shock.
She stopped crying and picked up her phone. She dialed a number and waited for someone to answer. Then when that person answered all she was able to get out was "Rose…" before she let out another sob. I put my arm around her and grabbed the phone from her shaky hand. She immediately wrapped her arms around me and sobbed. Little did I know what I was getting into when I put the phone to my ear.
"BELLA…. BELLA WHAT IS GOING ON?"
"My name is Edward."
"DID YOU HURT HER JACKASS?
" No I…"
"NO I WHAT???"
" Well she…"
"SHE WHAT???? ARE YOU BLAMING HER FOR WHATEVER THE HELL HAS HAPPENED ASSHOLE????"
"I would nev…"
"NEVER WHAT??? ADMIT TO HURTING A WOMAN????"
"You got it wro…"
"WRONG? IM WRONG? IF YOU HURT HER I'LL CHOP OF YOUR BALLS AND SHOVE THEM DOWN YOUR THROAT"
"Can I finish please?"
"BY ALL MEANS"
Bella giggled and I assumed it was because she knew her friend all to well.
"As I said my name is Edward I live on the corner of Bath and Canon Perdido. Bella was on her way home from work and a man assaulted her. My friends and I heard her yell and we walked out to see what was the matter and then helped her when we saw what was going on."
"Is she hurt badly?"
"No she's fine. She's going to have a black eye in the morning but I think she should be ok. You can come over of course it's the house on the corner. My roommates and I and Bella are out in the front yard."
"My friend and I will be there in a few minuets"
"Ok. Bye."
I shut the phone and handed it back to her and said, "well your friend Rosalie sure is something" She smiled and said, "yeah she can be a little over protective but I love her for it" we were sitting in blissful silence for a few moments. It was such an amazing feeling to be sitting with this beautiful creature. She still had her arms wrapped around me and I was lost in the smell of her hair, it smelled like strawberries.
Then I was brought back to reality when I heard a women yelling "ROSE WILL YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? WHERE IS BELLA? WHAT HAPPENED? DAMNIT ROSALIE… WHERE IS SHE???" then they turned the corner and the short one saw the scene in front of her and it clicked. She immediately ran to Bella, "Bella are you ok? What happened? Did he hurt you?" then the one I assumed was Rosalie got a look that scared the shit out of me. She walked over to Emmett and pushed him off of the attacker and then started to punch him. Emmett went to grab her but she saw him coming and punched him in the nose. No one had ever been able to get a punch on Emmett so Jasper and I were shocked into silence. Then she started in on the attacker again. "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? Punch "DO YOU THINK THAT THIS IS OK?" punch "YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF" Bella and the short little pixie girl had managed to calm down Rosalie. Which was good considering she had beaten the guy unconscious. Jasper and I walked over to Emmett and he was whimpering. "Guys I think she broke my nose. Who the hell is that damn Amazon?" It was then that we heard the sirens coming towards us. Bella and the pixie girl went back to sit on the steps and Rosalie came over and started to apologize to Emmett. "Look I'm sorry about your nose. But you really shouldn't come at a woman when she is mid punch. I'm so sorry" she said. "Yeah you should be sorry. My DAMN NOSE IS BROKEN YOU DEVIL WOMAN" Jasper and I started laughing and then immediately shut up when Rosalie glared at us. She helped Jasper get Emmett into the house and I went and sat with Bella.
The police arrived and saw me Bella and the pixie on the porch the unconscious man on the lawn and Rosalie Emmett and Jasper in the kitchen. They asked Bella a bunch of questions and then when they asked who had beaten up the attacker Emmett came storming out of the house and said that he had done it. He made up a ridiculous story of how the attacker tried to escape and they got into a fight and he had to "take him down" the paramedics then looked at Emmett Bella and the unconscious man and decided they all needed medical attention. Bella was insisting that she was fine but her eye and cheek had gotten worse since we saved her. Emmett wanted me to ride with him in the ambulance. I wanted to go with Bella but the little pixie, whose name I found out was Alice, insisted on going with her. So I went with Emmett. Jasper and Rosalie followed in the car. There was something going on with those two and I couldn't figure it out. Rosalie was not his type so I knew something was up. Come to think of it, Alice was more his type.
It was busy at the hospital and Emmett was the first to be released. So we all waited in the waiting room while Bella was being treated. My anxiety was at an all time high. Rosalie was in the waiting room for a few minuets with us giving us an update and getting Bella a diet coke. Emmett had taken some painkillers and was acting more loopy than normal. "You know guys, that woman may have broken my nose but, I think I really like her. I mean come on how many girls do you know that can put up with me? She seems to be able to handle her own. And she is damn sexy." At that jasper got red in the face and exploded, "Emmett you will watch how you talk about my cousin. She's not some piece of meat for you to gawk at" we both just stared at him. The he explained, "My mom and her dad were brother and sister. Rosie and I share the same birthday you know? It's like we're twins. The same day same hospital only I'm two minuets older than her." he said with a smile. Apparently they had spent much of their childhood together but there was a falling out between brother and sister and the two hardly spoke after that. I was getting so worried about Bella and the nurse wasn't helping me at all. "Yes Edward? How can I help you?" she said for the tenth time. "Shawna I am begging you, please will you tell me what is going on?" I begged. "I'm sorry Edward. Its like I told you before, we can only give out information to family members" she said. "Damn it Shawna that's my girlfriend in there. Can't you tell me anything?" I was starting to get mad now. "I'm sorry Edward. The only thing that I can tell you as that the doctor is with her right now. I'm sure she will be fine. It shouldn't be too much longer." With that I returned to my seat. "so Edward how long have you and Bella been dating?" said Emmett. "oh shut up Emmett. At least I didn't lie to the nurse about taking a punch for my girlfriend." He tried to protest but knew there was nothing he could say. "You better hope that rose doesn't find out about that. She seems like a fire cracker." He just smiled at me and said, "Yeah, she does" Emmett always loves a challenge and I think that is what Rosalie is to him, for the moment at least.
Finally the doors opened and they walked out. I immediately put my arms around Bella and asked how she was. She replied that she was fine and then we all started to walk to the car. Then Rosalie stopped in her tracks and gave Emmett this sexy look and said, "So Emmett, where are we going on our first date?" He couldn't form a coherent sentence so rose continued, "you know since you took a punch for me I have to think of a really really good way to thank you" Emmett was speechless which was a first. Then Alice said to Jasper in her little voice, "You know Jasper, I can never thank you enough for what you did for my Bella. Is there anything you can think of for me to do that would say thank you?" he just stood and stared with awe. I knew that Alice was his type! I asked Bella what the hell was going on and then she looked at me with those gorgeous deep brown eyes and ran a finger up and down my chest. I was about to lose all self-control and kiss her right then and there. But then she spoke, "you know Edward as your girlfriend, I cant thank you enough for helping me tonight. When we get home maybe I can show you just how thankful I am" I was about to pass out but kept my composure. I think. Then the three girls started laughing and Rosalie said, "Emmett if you ever say you're my boyfriend again I'll break more then just your nose and I'll tell everyone that it was me that did it in the first place." They continued to walk to the car and they were laughing. Emmett said, "I think I'm in love guys. Mark my words, I'm going to marry Rosalie one day." Then Jasper said, "Guys, I need to call Jessica immediately. I think its time to break up." I asked him if it had anything to do with Alice and he replied, "definitely. She is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. I know that this sounds crazy but I've only known her for four hours and I have really really strong feelings for her." I replied, "I know exactly what you mean. For some reason Bella has been all I can think about since this morning." Then Emmett butted in with a huge grin, "so I don't know about you guys but I'm planning on having a date this Friday!" we all agreed and then started to follow the girls to the car.
Well there is chapter two ladies and gentleman. Let me know what you think. In other words…. REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!!! See you next chapter!!!!!!
