Edward parked right behind Bella's truck. Cutting off the ignition he looked over at the girl he loved. She was staring down at her lap where her hands laid folded. Her heart was racing, he could hear it. She must still be scared, why wouldn't she be. He wished he could make that fear go away. Reaching over to stroke her face, he called to her.

"Bella…"

"Thanks for driving me home."

She went to open the door. Edward took one of her hands, causing her to stop. Silence fell over the car. Her head was still turned from him.

"Bella look at me." He pleads

She looked over at him slowly, with worried eyes. He leaned forward and kissed her forehead. Both of his hands were now on her face, as he forced her to look him in the eye. She closed her eyes tight then reopened them, fighting back tears.

"She wont touch you."

"How do you know? Because she said she wont."

"I wont let her."

Bella tried to pull away, but it was impossible with his hands on her face like they were. She reached up to grab his wrists.

"You can't stop her remember." She says pulling as hard as she could on his wrists

He let her face free and his hands dropped to his sides. He couldn't make her feel safe, and that killed him inside. Knowing that she didn't feel safe and he couldn't do anything about it. This feeling was almost as bad as how he felt when he thought that she had killed herself, almost.

"I will find a way. I wont let her hurt you."

"I should go inside now."

Looking at the house, they could see Charlie glancing out the window from behind the curtains. Not doubt making sure that nothing was happening that he didn't want to happen.

"I am dropping the car off then coming right back."

"But Charlie…"

"I will be in your room." He says in a serious tone

Bella looked into his eyes as he came in to kiss her softly. And as he went to pull away she went with him. Not allowing their lips to come apart. Edward chuckled as he gently pushed her away.

"Bella stop."

"You know one day you wont be able to push me away."

"It's hard enough to do it now love."

"Then why do you?" She questions

"You know why."

"You wont hurt me."

"You don't know that."

Silence. He looked over at the window. Charlie was still watching

"You better go now. He's worried that I might take you away again."

"Can't he just leave me alone?"

"I'll be back in a few minutes."

"Alright." Her voice was sad. She didn't want him to leave at all.

She moved to open the door but again Edward grabbed her hand. She turned back to ask him what he wanted, but before she could get it out his lips were on hers. Her hands flew up to his hair as she pulled him closer. Soon she had to break away for air.

"Don't forget to breathe love." He chuckles
