(Author's note- If you don't understand why the guys want to beat up Bella, everything will be explained in this chapter)

Edward helped pull me through the window in my bedroom. We couldn't go out the front door because Charlie was downstairs, and if he found out Edward was in my room, I'd probably be grounded for weeks.

"You doing alright?" Edward asked me as I struggled to climb down the big tree in my backyard.

"I'm fine." My voice was breathless, but I wasn't worried. I knew if I ever fell out of the tree, Edward could easily catch me.

Edward reached the grass a few feet before me. He held my waist just to make sure I wouldn't hurt myself. I'm sort of prone to getting hurt easily. Very easily.

We walked to Edward's silver Volvo. He opened the door for me (as usual) and then he got in aswell. Edward put his keys in the car, then started up the engine. The firmilier sound started. His car was MUCH quiter then mine, and newer.

"Oh no." Edward sighed.

"What?"

"The car won't start properly. I think it has a few broken wires."

"Well, we can take my truck. Ya sure, it's not as fast, but it will get us to Alice. In theory."

Edward looked at me with that famous crooked smile. "I have a funner idea."

We got out of his car. Edward ran over to my side, and threw me on his back.

"Edward! Oh my God!"

Edward chuckled. "I can go faster then your truck and my car combined. The faster we get Alice to tell us more about those guys, the sooner the whole situation will be over with."

I wanted to argue, but he was right. His running is indeed very fast, and it could get us to his house sooner. But I was very scared. Edward could run so fast, it made me feel sick. Sometimes, we have to stop because I'm so dizzy, I can't see straight. Let's just hope this isn't one of those times.

Edward looked at me seriously. "Are you ready?"

I took a deep breathe. 'It won't be bad. Edward will keep me safe.' I thought.

"I'm ready."

Before I knew it, Edward was running. We were going so fast, everything we passed looked like a blur.

And this is when the dizziness kicks in.

Edward looked up at me. "You okay?"

I was feeling so weak, I could barly speak. "Um...ya ...just really dizzy."

"Come here." Edward stopped and sat me down under a tree.

He crouched down in front of me and looked into my eyes. "You look kind of pale."

"I'm fine Edward, really." I could barly keep my eyes open. It felt as if the whole world was spinning.

"You don't look fine."

"No, Edward, really-"

Before I could finish my sentence, Edward picked me up in his arms. He slowly walked.

"It's okay, Bells. You just relax, I'll walk slowly."

I attempted to open my eyes, but was unsucessful. "How will we get to your house? I mean, it will take so long."

Edward didn't answer. Apparently, Edward ran so fast, we got to his house quicker then I thought. Before I knew it, I felt Edward open the door to his home, and he lay me on the couch.

I opened my eyes. I felt so much better being in a home filled with people I love. Well, everyone but Rosalie.

Edward whispered to me. "I'll be right back."

He kissed me on the forehead and left.

A few minutes later, Edward returned with Carlisle.

"Hello, Bella." Carlisle smiled warmly

Carlisle, also known as Edward's adoptive father, is a doctor. He walked over to me with a tiny light, and held it to my eyes.

"Her pupils are a little dialated, but nothing extreme. I'm pretty sure it's just dizziness from your running."

Edward sat down next to me and held my hand. He knew I never really liked getting checked out by doctors, especially since the near-death "car" inncident a few months ago. But I wasn't scared of getting checked out by Carlisle. I consider him a second father (Aside from my step-dad, Phil.).

Carlisle sat down in a chair closest to the couch.

"So Bella, are you feeling any better?"

"Ya, I mean, I'm still a bit dizzy, but nothing drastic." I attempted to smile.

"Thanks, Carlisle, I can take it from here." Edward smiled.

"Alright then. See you two later." Carlisle got up and walked away.

Edward watched to make sure Carlisle wasn't listening, then whispered, "So you ready to go ask Alice about the guys?"

I sat up a bit. "Sure."

Edward got up, and noticed I was struggling, so he helped me, and as we walked, he held onto my waist to make sure I don't fall.

We walked up the stairs to Alice's bedroom, where she was studying for a geography test.

But before Edward could even knock, Alice opened the door, her usually friendly self.

"Bella! How are you?!" Her smile spread across her face. "Wait, you're not feeling so well. Edward run a little fast?"

Alice really took advantage of her phsycic powers. "I know about the guys. One of them is named Nick. Him and his friends want to beat you up. They want to because they want to be with you. Nick thinks that if he can't be with you, then no one can."

She took a deep breath. "It's ok, Bella. We'll keep you safe."

Me and Edward just stood there in silence. I looked over at Edward only to see something rather shocking.

Tears were running down his eyes.
