Okay, so I couldnt wait. Here is another chapter

Enjoy!


When I woke up I was no longer outside, but I was lying on a black leather sofa that smelled exponentially good. I sat up and got my first glance of the room around me. It was beautiful. The room was made for acusticts. Golds and brown clothes covered the walls. One wall was completely glass and overlooked a circular medow with a river just visible thought the trees. Another wall was covered completely with CDs, but what I noticed the most was the lack of furniture, especially a bed.

I got up slowly and hoped on one foot towards the CDs. It was amazing. There where CDs from years and years ago. I found the classical music section and quickly searched for my favorites. When I found one that sparked my interest I pulled it out of its slot and examined its cover.

"Hello" a musical voice came from the doorway behind me. I nerely jumped out of my skin. I dropped the CD and spun around. A warm crimson blush crawled in my cheeks when I realized I had been caught snooping. He chuckled and walked over, stoping infront of me before bending over and picking up the droped CD. He flipped it over and examined the title.

"You like Debussy?"

"Only my favorites...My mother use to play it around the house. She always told me it would make me smarted." I could feel my eyes burning as tears threatened to fall at the memory of my mother. Instead I put on a blank face to mask my emotions.

"You miss your mother" It wasn't a question.

He grabbed my elbow and led me over to the sofa where we sat down.

"I miss my mother too" I started to protest, I thought Esme was his mother, but he held up his hand to stop me. "Esme and Carlisle adopted me when I was eight. Our mother and father died."

"Oh" That explained why Esme and Carlisle where so young looking.

"Bella, I need to talk to you about something important"

"Hmm?"

"Its about Paul" I flinched at his name "Your not going back to him, you can stay here, with my family and I" That was not what I was expecting. I was excepting him to tell me to go to the police, to get in some kind of identity protection service. But he didn't. He couldn't possibly be serious could he? He gauged my reaction and then continued "Carlisle and I are going to talk to him. He will agree to give you up." The thought of the angel in front of me facing the wrath of Paul made me feel nausias.

"No..you cant... Edward, he is dangerous.he'll..he'll..he could hurt you. You can't go. I..I wount let you." My head began to spin.

"Bella" He cupped my face in his two cold stone hands, "You don't have to worry about me. I can take care of myself. I promise, he wont even be able to lay a finger on me"

I tried to shake my head no, but his cold hands still held my face.

"Bella, I promise you, he can not hurt me" Tears where streaming down my face. "Is there anything you need us to bring back for you?"

"I..I dont have anything..." he looked at me quizingly

"Nothing? No clothing? Books? Anything?" I looked down at the floor

" I own only the clothes on my back and my..." I reached up to grab my neckles, but my neck was bare. "Oh no. No" I was frantic. I couldn't have left it there. It was my mothers; she had given it to me the night before the accident. I never took it off, but I had the other night. I had been scared that Paul would want it. He had been short on money and if he saw it he would want to sell it. So I had hidden it under a floorboard under my bed. Edward would never be able to find it. I looked up at him, my eyes wide. "My neckles. I left it. I have to get it Edward. I have to."

"Don't worry, just tell me where it is. I can bring it back."

"You don't understand. I hid it. You'll never be able to find it. There is no way for me to explain to you how to find it. I have to go and get it. I can't leave it there."

"Are you sure you could handle going back there?" he asked relicutently. I shook my head fevrently. "Okay then, come on." He stood up and reached for my hand, pulling me up so that I was standing. He resisted laughing when I began to wobble and before I knew what was happening he had swept me up into his arms bridal style. I was super aware of his skin on mine and I couldn't resist laying my head on his chest. He smelled delicious. I closed my eyes and let myself get lost in the moment. I opened my eyes what I thought was only seconds later, but we where already down stairs. Had I drifted off to sleep? No, I was sure I hadn't. How had he gotten down so swiftly and quickly? I expected him to set me down on my feet, but he did no such thing.

"Edward" Carlisle was suddenly standing right beside us. He gave Edward a brief look when he saw him holding me, but continued soon after. "The family would like to meet Bella before we go."

Edward nodded and headed around the corner, where people where seated on a living room set. Edward walked over and placed me gently down on a sofa and sat down right next to me. I recognized Alice, Jasper, and Esme from earlier, but there where two more people now. A huge man with curly dark hair sat on a loveseat with a model gorgeous blond in his lap.

"Bella, we didn't get to properly introduce each other last time, I'm Esme. I'm very pleased that you are staying with us." She got up and imbraced me in a warm hug that reminded me of the ones my mother use to give me and then sat back down. I looked over and realized that the blonde was glaring daggers at me and I quickly looked down finding a sudden intrest in the wooden floor.

"Stop it Rose." I looked up to see Edward glaring right back at her.

"This is Rosalie and Emmet" Carlisle introduced them.

"Nice to meet you" I mummered still looking down.

"We should probably get going now," Carlisle announced.

"All right! Lets go kick some butt!" Emmet exclaimed. I guess he was coming with us too.

"Emmet!"

"Sorry mom"

"Lets go" Carlisle said again. Edward stood up and again reached his hand out to me. This time I was not surprised when he scoped me up into his arms as if I was lighter than a feather. He carried me to a silver Volvo and placed me in the back seat next to Emmet and he himself went around to the drivers seat. Carlisle sat beside him. Emmet's size mad me nervous, but he seemed nice enough.

"Bella, how are you feeling today?" Carlisle asked with concern

"I'm good" I lied. Actually my head had been pounding, but all my instincts told me to show no weakness. I guess it was already too late for that, but after living my whole life on the edge, now was no exception.

"When we get back to the house, I have some pain pills for you" did he know I was lying? I thought I was a exeptionaly good lier. I rested my head against the window and felt my eyes begin to droop. What was with me? I never slept this much.

"Bella?" Edward asked as soon as we where on a main road. "Do you know how to get there?"

I gave him the direction, fear gritting my insides apart every time we took a turn closer. It wasn't long before we where in front of the house.

"Dad""Somethings wrong with her" I han't even relize that I was hyperventalting untill Emmet had sad something. Both Edward and Carlisle turned to look at me. I put my arm across to chest and tried to breath normally.

"Bella, calm down. It will be okay. Edward, Emmet, and I wont let him touch you. I promise" I nodded to head to show him that I heard him. It took a few minutes but I finally got myself under control. The men got out of the car and Carlisle and Emmet headed towards the door. Edward came around to my side of the car and opened the door for me.

"Are you sure you want to do this Bella? You can stay in the car if you want" I waited a few second before answering so that my words would be true.

"No, I'm Fine"

He sighed and helped me out of the car. Instead of picking me up he mearly put his arm under mine and around my back so that almost all my weight was on him. I was surprised that he seemed to realize that I wanted to have the dignity of facing Paul on my own two feet. We walked up to the door and Carlisle rang the doorbell.
