Wishing I could help, and now I'm too confused.

Chapter 3

Edw. Pov

"Ugh" I was sitting on bed waiting for any information on Bella; she was going to that creep James apartment again tonight. I wish I could help her with him and the pain. But there is nothing I can do, like her mom's at risk. My parents were at risk when I was in a position like her, but worse. And I decided to take action and it didn't turn out to well there death was the first page in the newspapers. Bella and my family only know the story, but not everything. I was having a flashback seeing the night of my parents' death, but my phone went off and I wiped the tears away.

"He did again-Bella" I sent her a message back while getting up ready to grab my keys

"How bad this time? - Edward"

"Pretty bad, let me just say it's never been this bad- Bella"

"Is your Dad home? –Edward" I sent while starting my car up

"No- Bella"

"I'm on my way- Edward" I threw my phone on the seat and started to drive down the driveway then it vibrated again and I took a quick glance at it.

"Okay. Thx- Bella" I decided not to send one back, I'm supposed to be the responsible one when really I'm not usually.

I got to Bella's house faster then would seem possible I ran up top the door and rang the door bell. There she stood in her pj's, and she ran into my arms and started to cry.

"Shhhh Bella shhhh. He's not going to hurt you while I'm here." I said and took her to the couch. She cried for a long time and I just sat there rubbing her back, telling her it was okay. I just let her let out all the pain, she may have destroyed my shirt with all the salty tears but I didn't care, I'll just get Alice to buy me another one. After a while of all the tears she looked up at me with red puffy eyes from crying.

"You okay?" I asked looking into her deep brown eyes.

"Yeah" she said quietly while nodding her head "just a little sore from the hitting, slapping, and punching." I started to cringe when she was telling me that I had a flash back of that happening to me and watching it happen to my parents.

"Show me." I said I needed to see how bad it was, if it was really bad that I would make her stay home from school or find away to keep an eye on her. She lifted her shirt so I could see her stomach, it was black and blue already, I gasped a little too loud. I looked up at her "this is getting worse Bella, I never seen them this bad before"

"I know but I don't know how to make him stop" she had a couple tears falling down her face. Just then the door started to open, Bella quickly put her shirt down and I sat straight up afraid of what Charlie might think if I was that close to her.

"Hello Edward, Bella" he said

"Hey Charlie" I said

"Hey Dad" Bella said

"Well I'm going to bed that call made me tired good night see you in the morning Bella, Edward" once I hear him upstairs I looked at my blackberry it was 11:25 and I was supposed to be home and hour and twenty minutes ago. My parents were going to be angry I already had 3 missed calls, and 5 texts. I looked up at Bella to see her watching me.

"I know you have to go" she said to me and got up. Bella started to sway back and forth and almost fell but I was there to catch her.

"I'll help you to bed" and before she had a chance to protest I picked her up and carried her up the stairs and set her on the bed. "good-night Bella get some rest" I said and she just nodded and climbed under the covers I smiled kissed her forehead and left with a smile that was on her face and I'm sure I had one too. I walked down the stairs and out the door. When I was outside I took the key and locked the door for Swans. When I got in my car I pulled out my phone it was 11:30 so I decided to read the texts.

1st message: 10:21

"Edward, your mom's is getting worried might want to head home. - Jasper"

2nd message: 10:45

"Hey I would get home if I were you, like now or else you are going to spend a day with me SHOPPING!- Alice"

3rd message: 11:11

"Eddie time to come home. Or I will sing to you tomorrow morning: P. - Emmett"

4th message: 11:19

Just seriously get your butt home, I don't like seeing your mom act this was. – Rosalie"

5th message: 11:26

"Edward Anthony Mann/ Cullen I suggest you get your butt home this moment, why haven't you answered your sibling's messages? That is just rude. So I suggest you come home NOW! If you aren't hear by quarter to 12 you won't be allowed to drive your Volvo for one week. I know this is harsh but it needs to be done so come home NOW!- Your loving father Carlisle."

I huffed boy was I in trouble, they taught us much better then this so I shouldn't be surprised. When everyone else gets in trouble its much worse then mine, but of course it's my family. Now time for the voice mails.

1st voice mail: 10:15

"Edward sweetie can you please come home. I'm worried." It was my mothers sweet voice on it she did sound worried.

2nd voice mail: 11:17

"Edward if this is some kind of joke it isn't funny young man. I would like you to be home in my loving arms. Or I'll let Alice taking you shopping for a day, or have Emmett sing you asleep every night for a week. So please come home soon." She sounded more worried and angry a little. The last one is going to be killer.

3rd voice mail: 11:28

"EDWARD ANTHONY CULLEN if I don't see you in this house be quarter to 12 you are going to wish that I was asleep. If you're not hear NO Volvo for a week, Alice can take you on as many shopping trips for a month Emmett can sing to you whatever he wants whenever he wants. So I say you should probably get home NOW! If your father wasn't hear you already would have this entire plan ready to go and more. So I want you hear now. And I expect I good reason for being so late. So if it wasn't clear I want you home NOW! Your not so happy mother"

Once the last message was done I looked at my phone it was now 11:35 I really needed to get home I only had ten minutes. Good thing with my driving I'll be there in five. So I started my car up and raced down the streets. I turned my headlights off and went 110 km/ hour down the highway. I got to my road and turned I parked my car in the garage and ran inside. I made it just in time 11:43. I walked into the family room, and my dad and siblings were there (we call Rosalie and Jasper our brother and sister) was there except my mom. They all looked my way, Emmett was about to say something when my phone went off I looked at it and answered it.

"Hey mom don't worry." I said

"Don't worry, Edward why wouldn't I where are you right now, your time is almost up. I want you right beside my right now." She started to cry and she hung up I couldn't handle. It I ran to where I heard her voice from inside the house. I found her sobbing at the kitchen table I ran and gave her hug.

"Shhhh mom shhhh. I'm here." The second time tonight I said I'm here to both main girls in my life. My mom turned around in my arms to face me and smiled and hugged me back. I saw the rest of my family come in the room and they all joined the hug, even Rosalie which was rare for her. About five minutes of hugging each other, we all were seated in the living room and I knew what was coming, but surprisingly my parents told my siblings to leave and Rosalie and Jasper to start heading home it was late. Then it was just us.

"Before you guys say anything I want to say something first." I looked to my dad and he nodded "I'm so sorry that I didn't call or anything and left in a rush. But Bella texted me and fell down her stairs and her father wasn't open and she couldn't breath and she had no one else to text because she couldn't text. So I rushed over there and opened the door and put my phone on the stand by the door and went to help her I know it took so long but I had to do the series of steps dad told me to do for and injury check." I stopped to look at them then continued. "My phone was on vibrate and that's why I didn't hear it. So that's all I have to say" I finished.

They both looked at me and got up and gave me a hug. My mom was crying, dad smiling a proud smile.

"Don't ever do that to us again Edward." Mom said while hugging me.

"I won't" I said hugging her back.

"I'm very proud of you Edward" my dad said then looked at me "Now your punishment, a weekend shopping trip with your sister should sound fair." I just nodded knowing there's no use of fighting it.

"Dad Emmett just threw up," Alice yelled "all over my shoes too" my dad huffed and went up stairs. So it was just me and my mom.

"Edward is there something else? That doesn't seem right." My mom said. So I told her. I told her how it is with Bella and how I went there to make sure she was okay at the end I was in tears and my mom was holding me. I made her promise not to tell anyone even dad, or Bella that she knew. Esme promised me she wouldn't and she herself was crying too. We both stopped crying and headed our separate ways me to my room her to hers. I was hoping she'll keep to that promise.

The next morning I was able to get to the shower before Alice or Emmett. When I got out there was my clothes for the day out on my bed. Of course Alice picked them out, she won't let me even pick out my clothes in the morning but hey what can you do? I headed down the stairs and there was breakfast out on the table for me. I got my plate ready when Alice came down.

She looked at me. "Edward that's not the shirt I picked out for you." Then she grabbed me and dragged me upstairs and threw me another shirt. I wasn't going to put it on, but she gave me the look so I just changed into the one she gave me. I went down to eat. I finished in record timing, I could go pick up Bella.

I was waiting outside so I sent her a text

"Are you going to come out or did you loose time again? – Edward"

I waited no reply so I went in.

"Do you want to be late for school?" I asked she jumped and turned around

"Sorry I wasn't paying attention. Why didn't you text me?"

"I did" I said chuckling "now go get your stuff or we'll be late. I'll clean up your dishes." She went running up the steps as I put her dishes away. I went to the bottom of the stairs to wait she came down.

"Are you ready?" I asked

"I should be, knowing your driving; we'll be the first ones there." I started to laugh at what she said and led her out the door. I locked the door. And went to the car while we were driving I asked how she was doing. And we got to school and she said what I knew she was going to say and I replied. We got out of the car and walked to Alice. Alice gave Bella a big hug I quickly grabbed Alice by the arm and pulled her off Bella.

"EDWARD WHAT THE HELL!?" she yelled

"You were hurting her like you have no idea, Alice next time wait." I yelled back the turned to Bella "Are you okay Bella?"

"Not particularly" she murmured, and then looked at Alice. "Hey Alice" Alice looked at Bella.

"Bella are you alright? You seem to be in pain today. I'm sorry if it's because I hugged you."

"Yeah I should be fine just I fell last night, that's why Edward came rushing over. And no it wasn't because you hugged me, even though that didn't help any." I was relived that she guessed what I was going to tell her.

"Clumsy, clumsy Bella. What are we going to do with you?" Alice asked laughing she seemed to believe Bella.

"Where are Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper?" I asked

"Emmett was really sick this morning and Rosalie and Jasper just pulled in" she said pointing. Alice really liked Jasper and Jasper liked her but they weren't together but they wish they were and we all wished that they would get together as well. Rose and Jasper came walking up to us. Rosalie looked around, and couldn't seem to find what she was looking for.

"He's sick today." Alice answered her. Then the bell rang and we all parted our own ways. But Alice was in my first class and came right up to me "Is that what really happened last night?"

"Yes Alice I wouldn't lie to you." I said and then class started. The day went by pretty normal. At the last bell I went to the gym to wait for Bella like usual but then I saw Mike talking to her and he had his arm over her sore shoulders

"Hey Bella" Mike began "You want to go out this tomorrow night?" I came up just in time to help her.

"Bella don't forget tomorrow night you're helping me with English. Oh and also Mike get your arm off her now, you're hurting her" I growled the last part, I couldn't help it she was in pain by the look of her face.

"No Cullen, I' not hurting her she would have told me" Mike said and was squeezing even harder. And then Bella screamed so loud, Mike of all the stupid things let go of her. And I was able to catch her.

"Are you okay?" I asked in a calming voice

"No" She cried "my shoulder was stinging and it didn't help with all the falling I gym class"

"Shhhh Bella, its okay come on lets go" I picked her up bridal style and started to walk to my car. Mike was trailing behind, probably wanted to say sorry or mostly ask her out again. I set Bella down on her two feet when we got to my car but still kept one arm wrapped around her so she wouldn't fall. I opened the door and helped her in but didn't close the door so she could talk with Mike but I wasn't going anywhere so I leaned against the car.

"Bella I'm so sorry I didn't know that you were in any kind of pain." Mike started "Any way I guess since you can't go out tomorrow night how about Wednesday night?" my mouth dropped like seriously this guy is such a retard.

"Really Mike is that all you can think of? You just got me to scream I could charge you for that, and you don't care? You'll just ask me out? Well I'm not ever going to except going out with you so sorry no. Wait forget the sorry, because I'm not sorry one bit." Once she finished she looked up at me "could you bring me home?" she asked me I just grinned, nodded and closed the door. I went around to the driver's side of the car and just drove off leaving a very stunned Mike alone in the parking lot. When we reached the road I started to laugh like crazy same with Bella.

"I've never seen you so independent Bella it was hilarious watching you tell Mike off like that. I wish I got that on tape." I finished then looked at her "How are you doing? Are your shoulders killing you from what he did? I figured that they would be killing her like crazy right now

"Yeah is should be fine, it just really started to hurt and thanks for being my rescuer." Then she leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. I felt my face get all read and I started to blush, I actually blushed I never blush this is really weird I have to get her back I just smiled.

"You're welcome." I said, and didn't turn back to look at the road.

"Hey eyes on the road."

"Not till I get permission to look at your shoulder to see how they are." I know how much she hates having me look at the bruises but they need to be checked out.

"Fine just look at the road" she gave in. when we got to the house I rushed to her side and helped her out. I rushed to unlock the door when that was done she went upstairs probably to change. I went to go get some pop and chips to soften her up for pulling the not looking at the road stunt.

"Okay trying to soften me up with pop and chips is funny, but it works." She said laughing and came to sit beside me. She straitened her back a little so I could get a good look at her shoulders.

"That looks really painful" I said as I pointed out where Mikes hand print was laid out. She just looked at me and nodded. I told her to pick out a movie and go put on another shirt. She did that and we curled up on the couch to watch a movie. Of course Bella fell asleep. But I liked it she fell asleep in my arms. I could get use to this, I wasn't really sure I liked Bella more then a best friends but I do, I don't want to change that either because it could become awkward. I know in like movies and books the best friends like each other and they end up together but not in this story no, she doesn't like me. She likes her friend from La Push. She said it in a game of truth or dare, but that was 6 years ago, but still. She could like him.

I heard a car in the driveway Charlie was home, he has no problems when we're like this when he gets home because he trusts me and his little girl. So when he came in I didn't realize what time it was.

"I'll go put her in her bed" I whispered he nodded and I carefully picked her up not wanting to hurt her. When I laid her in her bed she woke up.

"Don't leave me Edward." Bella woke up, I think.

"I don't want to but I have to my sweet." I said

"I love you." She said.

"I love you too." I stood there shocked did she really say that or was she dreaming? Did I really say that out loud? I had to get out of there. So I closed the door said good-bye to Charlie and left. With too much on my mind. I drove home and went straight to my room.

What was I supposed to do now? Did she really mean that? I'll just pretend it never happened. Just then my phone went off.

"Hello?"

"Hey. Edward you want to go out with me Saturday?"

"I'm not sure Tanya."

"Come one it will be as friends"

"Umm…"

"Please. I know that you want too! Also Bella told me that I could"

"Sure I guess if Bella said it's all right" wait why did I say yes?

"Great"

"Wait Tanya….." I was too late she hung up. So Bella doesn't really love me I guess it was a joke.

Review please
