Last time:
BPOV
The guy from yesterday started talking to me…Edward.
He walked with me to class and watched me eat during lunch.
I wonder who bet him to get to know the new girl.

Chapter 4:
EPOV
Once she awoke she called in her father who picked her up and helped her to the bathroom.
I decided it was time for me to get ready for school.
I ran home and killed a deer on the way. I need to keep my thirst under control.
I changed quickly before yelling at my sibling to hurry the hell up.
It was the same routine for about three weeks. My Bella still wouldn't talk much but that is okay.
She now let me walk her to each of her classes and sit with her while she ate her lunch. She participated a little more in Biology. Though I would do anything for her so she usually she didn't have to lift a finger.
I opened doors for her.
Once she dropped her apple so I picked it up and cleaned it for her.
I loved helping her. But the pull I felt for her was always there.
I drank every day on my way home to change for school.
Every day I waited until the Chief had her in his car and had kissed her forehead before leaving.
My siblings had finally just started taking another car so I would stop harassing them.
Today it was raining very hard and I have not seen the Chief pull into the parking lot.
Bella was waiting in the rain, but it was pouring. I got out of my car and went over to her.
"Is your dad coming for you?" I asked once she looked up at me, hearing me come towards her.
She nodded, "He said he would be a little late."
I nodded, "Come on I'll wait with you. But you need to get out of the rain or you will get sick."
She looked at me but didn't follow.
"Please Bella," I plead wanting to get her warm. I could see her begin to shiver.
She began to roll towards my car, slowly.
She got to the car and looked towards the door then at me, "Can you help me?" her voice sounded empty.
"Of course Bella. It would be my please to help you." I smiled at her as I opened the door and picked her up. Cradling her to my chest, I set her down in my car and touched her rosy cheeks with my finger tips.
I put her chair in the back along with her bag.
I turned up the heat and grabbed my sweater from the back seat. "Take my sweater, it is dry and will help you warm up."
She nodded and took the sweater.
After about twenty minutes the Chief still had not shown up.
"Do you want to call your dad and see if he is almost her or would you mind terribly if I took you home?" I asked motioning to her wet clothes and blanket.
She looked over at me, "I'll call him and ask what he thinks is okay."
I nodded and handed her my phone. "Thank you," I smiled at her.
"Chief Swan,"
"Hi Daddy,"
"Bell I'm sorry I haven't been able to pick you up. I have been trying to get away but we are swamped…Hey what phone are you using?"
"I'm using Edward Cullen's phone. He offered to wait with me but helped me into his car so I could get out of the rain…"
"I thought you had an umbrella with you?"
"I forgot it today."
"Oh Bell, you must be soaking wet. Do you think he can take you home and help you inside?"
"Um he offered to take me home actually. I will ask him about the second part hold on." She looked up at me, "could you help me into my house?"
I nodded, "Anything you need Bella."
She blushed as she told her father I could help out. He asked to talk to me.
"Hello Chief Swan." I answered.
"Hello Edward right?"
"Yes sir"
"If you could take my daughter home I would really appreciate it. And if you could help her up the stairs so she can get into her room, I would be very grateful. I know Carlisle is your father and he is a good man, I trust you with my baby girl."
I smiled as I responded, "I will wait with her until you arrive sir."
Moments later I was driving Bella to her house. I noticed she was starting to hyperventilate so I slowed and pulled the car over. "Bella are you okay?"
She shook her head.
"What is it Bella, tell me what I can do to help."
"Drive slow…." She was gasping for air, "Please I..I'm afraid of going fast."
I took her hand into one of mine. And rubbed soft circles with my thump on the back of her hand. Her breathing evened out. "I will keep you safe Bella. I promise."
I began driving again, slower this time. I never let go of her hand.
Once I got to her house I asked her for the key so I could get the door opened. It was still pouring.
I got her chair and our bags and put them inside. I went back to the car only to find her looking confused.
I opened her door. "I thought I could get you inside faster if I just carried you…is that okay? I can bring your chair back if you want…I just don't want you to get wet…" I was a stuttering fool.
For the first time ever I saw a smile… a breathtaking, earth shattering, beautiful smile in her face. "Thank you" she whispered.
I smirked at her and picked her up gently. She wrapped her small fragile arms around my neck and I kicked my door closed...gently…I cradled her to my chest and carried her into her house.
I kicked that door closed to, also gently. I carried her up the stairs and she told me where her room was, but I already knew I just had to play dumb.
I set her on her bed before running at human pace, down the stairs for her chair.
I got back to her room quickly, "Where do you have some towels I can use to dry your chair?" I asked.
"They are in the hallway cupboard." She said speaking clearer than before.
I nodded and went to get some towels. I used two to dry her chair before placing another one on the chair. I gave her the other two. "These are so you can dry off, would you like me to place you back on your chair?" she nodded. I did a mental happy dance. I love holding her.
I picked her up again, cradling her to my chest.
She was so warm.
I placed her back in her chair, running my fingers through her hair. I stepped out of her room.
I could hear her moving around. How I wished to be in her room, watching her dry off, then change her clothes.
How I would love to change her clothes for her.
NO! I have to keep control. I have to give her time.
I took a deep breath to calm myself.
I heard her call that I could come back in.
She had changed clothes. "If you want you can borrow some of my dad's stuff, it'll probably be a bit big, but…"
"It's alright Bella. I am pretty dry. Do you need anything?" I wanted to give her everything.
"Umm, I need to do some homework…and um could you help me down the stairs after I use the restroom?" she was blushing scarlet.
I nodded, "Do you need help?" I asked knowing she wouldn't ask for help.
She nodded with a tear running down her cheek. I nodded and rolled her to the bathroom door. I picked her up gently and sat her on the toilet, "Do not be ashamed for needing help, I will give you all the help you will allow me to" I kissed away her tears as I walked out of the bathroom.
Minutes later she called for me, "Edward?" I was at the door immediately,
"Can I come in?" I asked.
"Yes please," she answered less shy now.
I smiled at her as I opened the door I picked her up in my arms again and this time I carried her all the way down the stairs. I sat her next to me and then I pulled our books close to us. We worked on homework for an hour, she finished her work quickly, I was not far behind.
After doing homework I offered to cook her some food. She shrugged saying she wasn't very hungry.
I sighed, "Bella you need to eat."
She shook her head, "I don't use enough calories to eat right."
I pulled her into my lap, "Why do you say that? Just because you're in a wheel chair? No Bella you are going to eat." I stood up with her in my arms and went into the kitchen. I sat her on the island and then made her some macaroni and cheese…quick and easy.
I steeped between her legs. Her heart rate rose. I fed her slowly watching her chew and swallow each bite.
I smiled at her as she groaned slightly…I wonder when she last ate.
I kissed her cheek and as I pulled back I noticed we had an audience. I stepped back and cleared my throat.
"Hello Bell." Chief Swan said from the door way.
She turned her head to look at her father, "Hi daddy,"
He kissed her forehead as he lifter her into his arms…great.
He carried her up stairs. "Wait," she said looking over towards me, "Thank you for everything Edward."
"You're welcome Bella." I said as I nodded toward the Chief letting him know I would not leave.
A few minutes later I heard home coming back down he stopped and looked at me for a few minutes.
"May I ask how you did that?" he sounded crestfallen.
"Did what sir?" I asked honestly confused.
"You made her eat…for the first time since I brought her here to live with me she ate more than an apple, or some other fruit." He exclaimed.
I looked down at my shoes, "I really didn't give her a choice. I'm sorry if I…"
"Sorry? No please don't be sorry...just tell me right now what your intensions are." He looked slightly resigned.
I smiled, "Sir I know this sounds crazy but, your daughter is special to me. I would like to have a relationship with her. I must confess that I loved holding her safe in my arms."
He nodded, "You may want to talk to her about this."
I nodded "that's it? You aren't going to threaten me?"
He shook his head, "You seem like a good kid. Plus I already talked to Carlisle and he vouched for you." He chuckled "Did you really think I would just ask you to bring my baby girl home, and leave you with her throughout the afternoon without making sure you would not harm her?"
I smiled at him. "Thank you, sir. Umm may I ask Bella if I can take her to school tomorrow…and bring her back here again?"
He nodded, "Sure, but it is up to her."
BPOV
For the first time since I was condemned to this chair I felt safe.
His arms were cold and strong…
His eyes trusting…
His words reassuring…
His kisses soft…
Why was he helping me so?
He took me to the restroom and carried me to the kitchen.
He cared for me like no had before…because he wanted to not because he had to.
I heard a knock on my door. "Bella may I come in?"
It was him! "Sure,"
Edward came in, "I know you don't know me much but um… if you would allow me I would be honored to take you to school in the morning and bring you back home after school."
I felt myself blush, "I would like that,"
His smile was heart stopping, "May I also buy you lunch?"
I shrugged, "I don't eat much Edward."
"I've noticed. But that is not healthy. If you need something to burn calories I will ask my dad what exercise you can do." He responded.
"Your dad?" I asked confused.
"He is a doctor." He stated.
I nodded, "okay, thank you."
"Goodbye my beautiful Bella, I will see you in the morning," he said as he kissed my cheek again.
Then he was gone.
