Edward sat back in Bella's old rocking chair, watching her sleep. It was so peaceful. Just being by this one, simple, beautiful, unique, pure human made Edward's heart swell with emotion. He suddenly had a longing to be close to Bella again. He couldn't figure out why he was suddenly becoming overly sentimental about nothing. It was like he felt like he should be near Bella as much as possible or else he would lose her. It wasn't right. Why would he lose Bella? Edward felt his head spin. Why did he feel like a sudden urge to protect her from everything, to be near her at all times, to be almost a part of her? Maybe it was the fight coming up. Two days before their wedding day, Jacob had forced a battle. A fight between werewolves and vampires to death. Whoever one, obviously got Bella. Edward knew that his family would win, it was virtually impossible for them not to. He sighed and frowned as he thought about it. Jacob was so stupid, he knew when the wedding day was and he planned to have the battle so close to the date. Edward growled softly, idiot dog, he was hurting Bella both ways. Well, at least she would be his and once Edward took her on their honeymoon, he had no doubt that she would forget all about the worthless beast.

Edward suddenly felt stressed. All this thinking wasn't good for him. He was overreacting but he couldn't help it. This was Bella everything was revolving around, and she was the only one who made his frozen heart start to beat. As if on a queue, Bella started sleep talking. Edward closed his eyes and just listen to her voice relax his tense body. Her claims of love and soft begs of him never to leave eased Edwards troubled thoughts.

The next morning came all too fast. Edward sighed and fled home to get his car after he said bye to Bella. Time couldn't go fast enough after Edward changed, got his car, and waited for Charlie to leave. Once Charlie was gone, Bella took her time coming out instead of running over to him, which she usually did-wait-usually used to do. Edward sighed, it looked like it was going to be another one of those days. Those days when Bella acted like he wasn't alive. He closed his eyes and rested his head against the seat. Another day of semi-sweet torture.

After what seemed like eternity, Bella opened the car door and fluidly sat into the car. "Hey, what's wrong, you didn't open the door for me today?" Her voice was sweet, light and teasing.

Despite himself, Edward smirked, "you told me last night that I shouldn't do everything for you because then you'd become stupid. And we don't want that." A streak of hope started to shine in his heart. Maybe it would be one of those days after all.

Bella smiled and reached across to entwine her fingers with Edward's. He readily brought his hand forward and grabbed hers. Bella's smile widened and she looked out the window, soon getting every lost in her thoughts. Edward stared closely, wondering what she was thinking. While he was in mid-thought, Bella's voice brought him back to earth.

"Edward…" she started hesitantly. Edward smiled and squeezed her hand, reassuringly. As thought to say that she had his full attention and support. "If we got separated again…" her voice trailed off for a second time and she bit her lip. Edward felt his whole body clench subconsciously at the thought.

"That's not going to happen, love." He managed through his teeth. He couldn't think of being away from her. Even hunting was a pain, nowadays. "I can't take it. You know that."

Bella looked up with a mixture of fear and sorrow. "What if you didn't go away but-"

Edward cut her off in mid-sentence. His desperation was obvious. "Bella, please. Are you planning to run away? Please don't do anything stupid. I love you."

Bella looked surprised. "Oh, of course not! Edward, why would I even think about going away. No, I wanted to know that if we had to be separated…would u rather be separated knowing that I love you more than anything in the whole wide world, or thinking that I didn't love you and I was giving you a "clean break" by getting rid of everything I owned and spraying air refresher all around my house?" Bella seemed to force the choices out of her mouth.

Edward had the look of pure horror and then Bella saw his eyes turn deep black as the anger set in as well. "Bella. Don't even think of saying the phrase "clean break" in front of me. There is no such thing, and why do you insist on asking me such an unnecessary question if you claim you're not going to run away? Bella, please, please; tell me what is going on. Did I do something?" He was begging now. "Bella please don't do anything to hurt yourself. I'm sorry I made you agree to marrying me, honestly, we can call it off. Just stay and don't make me think about this."

Bella stared at him, the color draining from her face. "Edward! You're taking my question all wrong. I'm not going anywhere. I fully agreed to marry you. I'm not going to back out but I'm just saying that if the Volturi or Victoria or someone came back, and we had to choose, which one would you choose?"

Edward's eyes were still black as he answered. "I'm not going to let anyone or anything take you away from me. I will protect you and marry you and you will become a vampire and we will live our life together happily forever and ever."

His love examined him closely. She finally leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes, rubbing her temples too. "Alright. Don't think about it if it makes you so upset. I was just curious."

Edward had a look of incredulousness on his face. "What?! Wondering? Bella-" Just then, the bell rang and cut him off. Bella opened her eyes in surprise and jumped out of the car. "I'll see you next period, Edward." She cried, sprinting off, and trying not to fall while she was at it.

Edward stared after her. Her question stilled troubled him greatly. Is this what she had been thinking about every time she was blowing hot and cold on him? He suddenly felt very unsure of his protection for Bella. He wanted to keep her totally safe but if he put anymore limitations on her. He'd probably fit the abusive category.

Feeling unsecure and scared, Edward dragged himself to his class late.

"Thank you for joining us, Mr. Cullen." Mr. Crowl spat. Edward ignored him and walked over to his seat next to Alice.

He turned to her as soon as he sat down. "Alice, what do you see in Bella's future? Is she about to run away or do anything stupid?" He asked anxiously.

Alice frowned and looked. "No. Why? Are you guys fighting over something?"

"No." Edward said moodily and slumped in his chair. He couldn't listen to the Crowl talk, in fact, he couldn't really pay attention to anything accept the smell of his singer a couple of rooms away and her depressing question.
