Chapter 4

Emmett fell to the floor the last time Edward punch him. His nose was bleeding a lot as he just laid there on the floor holding his nose.

"What the hell is your problem Edward, I thought you were one of us? Now your taking up for her?" Emmett asked as he stood up still holding his nose. Edward walking up to me and I moved away from him afraid that he was gonna do the same thing Emmett tried to do. Edward knelled down to me.

"I'm not gonna hurt you... I promise," Edward told me softly. I stared at him for a moment to see if he was being truthful, He was telling the truth, I could see it in his bright green eyes he was. I nodded lightly as I was still shaking slightly. He smiled at me sadly, "I'm gonna pick you up okay?" I nodded lightly again. He put his right arm under my legs and his other arm around my waist lifting me up off the floor. As he stood up holding me in his arms, I wrapped my shaky arms around his neck and laid the side of my head against his collarbone. Edward turned around toured Emmett, I hid my face in Edward's neck when Emmett glared at me with anger in his eyes. Now I'm scared of Emmett instead of not caring and telling him he is a jerk like I have before. I used to only think Emmett was a popular jerk. But now I know he is a perverted asshole.

"You ever touch her again...I won't just make you have a blooding nose next time, I'll kill you," Edward told him in a stern voice. I can't believe he is threatening to kill Emmett if he touches me again. Edward doesn't even really know me and he is acting like he really cares about me. That's kinda hard to believe, It's probably not true. But it nice to think that he cares. Did I just think that? Why would I care if Edward cares about me? What the hell is going on with me today? I just erased my mind and closed my eyes as Edward carried me out of the school.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked him in a whisper as I kept my eyes closed. I wasn't scared, I just wanted to know where he is taking me.

"I am getting you out of here, you are in no condition to be at school right now," Edward told me in a low soft voice as he kept walking. I looked up at him and smiled lightly.

"Thank you for saving me Edward," I told him as I laid my head back down against his collarbone. He leaned down and suddenly kissed my forehead gently. That kinda surprised me. Why did he do that? Maybe he just feels bad for me. Are maybe he really does care about me. Whatever it was, I don't mind that he did it.

"It's fine Bella, no need to thank me. I did it because I care, Emmett is an ass who should go to hell for what he tried to do to you," Edward said in a stern tone. He is still mad about what just happened. I lifted my head up to look at his angry expression. I lifted my hand up and touched his cheek lightly making him stop walking and look down at me. His expression softened when he stared into my eyes.

"Don't be angry, please. you saved me, You should be happy, not mad about that," I pleaded to him in a low, soft voice. He should be happy he basically saved my life a minute ago. I mean I wondering how much more depressed I would be if Emmett did rape me. Who knows how bad I would be, I am already a traumatic mess from causing my mothers death, If I was raped I would probably end up killing myself. Not that I would now. It's just that knowing that happened, my mind wouldn't be the same way. So I would do it without realizing what I was doing., "I not mad about that. I mad about what Emmett tried to do to you," Edward told me as he kept staring into my eyes. What is he thinking? He started leaning in and I got kinda scared, I don't know why but i moved my face away and laid my head against his collarbone again.

Edward leaned away with a hurt look on his face. He started walking again then stopped and started putting me down on my feet again but kept his arm around my waist holding me close to his side. I stared at him confused for a second. He started chuckling as he was looking at me.

"I have to unlock my car," He told me as he reached into his back pocket and took out his keys.

I looked over at my truck then back at Edward, "What about my truck? I can't just leave it here," I told him as he was unlocking his car door then let go of my waist. He opened his car door then leaned in over the driver seat, unlocking the passenger side. That's when I realized he had an old car. It was a brown kinda beaten up car. I liked it, It's not the kinda car you would use to show off with that's for sure. At least he isn't like Emmett who has a nice shiny sports car; Which I know he uses just to get girls to go out with him and to show off for his friends. Emmett thinks way to much about what people think. If only he was like Jasper and a good nice guy that doesn't care what people think. That's why Alice started dating him, Because he isn't that kinda guy. Me, Alice and Jasper have know each other since kinder garden. We have always been friends, Then one day last year Alice was all happy and I asked her why she was happy and excited and she said her and Jasper were going out. I was really happy for her, I still am. Alice and me have never cared what other people think, that's why we get along so well. We never show off are act like were better then each other, or better then other people. We are who we are, and that's all that matters.

"I'll come and pick it up for you later," Edward said as he grabbed my hand and started walking around to the other side of his car without letting me say okay. He opened the car door for me and let go of my hand. I looked at him confused, "You gonna get in?" He asked me in an amused tone. I nodded lightly before I got in his car and he closed the door for me. He walked around the car and got in the drivers seat. I looked out the window as it started to rain, I never liked the rain when I was younger, But now I find it relaxing and soothing when I see it. That's when I realized something.

"WAIT!," I yelled, "I have to go get my backpack," I told him and was about to open the car door when he grabbed my arm quickly stopping me. I looked at him confused. He had panic in his eyes like he was scared if I left something would happen to me. He grabbed my hand and held it in his. I looked down at his hand holding mine then look up at him shyly. I like Edward holding my hand. I don't know why. But I feel safe, Then a memory came to my mind. I remember I was at least three years old. I was in the kitchen sitting at the dinning room table coloring in a coloring book. I had clips in my hair on the sides and I was wearing a white dress that little yellow flowers on it. My parents came into the house after getting the grocery's out of the car. They were holding hands. I remember thinking what is that like? Why do mommy's and daddy's do that? So when my dad went upstairs and my mom came into the kitchen I asked her.

"Mommy?" I asked her in a soft voice.

She turned and looked at me with a smile."Yeah angel?" My mother used to call me that all the time when I was little.

"Why do you and daddy hold hands?" I asked her in my little soft voice I had. She smiled at me lightly then picked me up and placed me on her hip. She put a strand of hair behind my ear.

"Because it's a sigh of affection, You love the person so you wanna be close to them in someway even when you are in public, so you hold hands as a way of saying I love you without having to say it," She explained to me with a small smile on her lips.

"Oh okay," I said then my mother giggled lightly before leaning in and kissing my cheek then set me back down on my feet. I remember I went up to my room and thought about it for while. I was a very mature three year old my mother told me. She said I never talked like I was a child, I talked like I was an adult half the time. The memory faded away and i stared at Edward. He was still holding my hand. But maybe my mother was wrong about the whole holding hands because you love the person. I mean I don't love Edward, and I am sure he doesn't love me. He doesn't even know me.

I smiled at me lightly, "Okay, Well you wanna go with me to make sure I'm okay?" I asked him as he let go of my hand and started getting out. I guess that answered my question. I opened the door and got out. Edward walking around the car to me and took my hand and started walking back toured the school. What is up with him holding my hand? I just shrugged it off and followed Edward back to the school quickly to get out of the rain. We walked into the hall way and Emmett wasn't there, he must be in the bathroom fixing his bloody nose. I let go of Edward's hand, walked quickly down the hall and grabbed my back pack that was sitting on the floor below my locker. I put it over my shoulder and walked back to Edward. He held his hand out for me and I took it without thinking. We started walking back out of the school. The rain stopped so we didn't have to run to the car. The weather here has always confused me. One minute it's raining the next it stops and it's just gloomy out.

"So what's so important that is in your backpack?" Edward asked suddenly as we were walking to his car. I looked at him and smiled.

"What do you mean?" I asked him kinda confused. Why would he think there is something in my backpack that is important? He looked at me and chuckled lightly.

"Well when you remembered you forgot it you got this panicked look on your face," He informed me. I nodded lightly as we kept walking toured his car. I maybe i should tell him why. I mean what is he gonna do? Say I am insane like everyone else that knows. Except for Alice and Jasper, they understand why I need the pills. Most people just say I am a drug addict. Are at least the looks they give me when I go to the doctor to get the pills. We got to his car and he opened the car door for me again. I got in then put my backpack in the back seat. Edward closed the door before walking around the car and getting in. He turned his body toured me and stared at me for a moment.

"My pills are in my backpack," I told him.

He gave me a confused look as he rained an eyebrow."What pills?"

"My anti – anxiety pills, I have panic attacks," Now he probably thinks I am some insane person. Like everyone else does. He kept staring at me and it kinda made me uncomfortable.

"You think I'm insane now right?" Edward started chuckling and that confused me.

"What would I think you are insane?" He asked amused. I looked at him kinda confused by his reaction.
