Dreams can get you In Trouble?
It's already bad enough when you have to tell your boyfriend about a night mare you had about him, but try having to explain your nightmare to your fiancée, and in that dream you saw him cheating on you with a girl you despise and only found out that same day he was close to going farther than the two of you had ever gone. Now add that and your fiancée just got done fighting with his sister, chasing her 20 miles into the forest because she kidnapped you, your sitting on his lap explaining your nightmare oh and not to mention he's a vampire…welcome to my situation…
Edward was as still as a boulder, his lips were pressed into a flat line, staring at me as if I just told him Alice changed me into a vampire 6 months ago. "Edward. Are you ok? Please say something, anything?" I pleaded in a soft scared voice. My hand was shaking as I lifted it to his chest. Before I knew it Edward caught my hand placed it on my lap and picked me up off of his lap and set me down on the bed he got up and stood in a daze. I looked up at him in alarm. "Edward..." I trailed off
"I…" He looked down at the floor choosing his words carefully. "I need to think." He said not looking up from the floor. He sounded as if he was having a hard time breathing. He seemed hurt or he was going to start to cry. My heart sank as he headed for the door stopping, just before he left the door frame to look back at me. His eyes looked like they just saw someone die. He turned and walked out shutting the door behind him. My teeth were clenched my hands in fists… don't cry, don't cry damn it Bella you can't cry… my body betrayed me as tears started running down my face. My eyes clenching shut as the images of Edward and Paige together flashed through my head, then his face, his poor hurt, tormented face replaced it. I threw myself on the bed I started to scream into the pillow unable to control my thoughts mental images of the dream replaying in my head… What does this all mean? Why did I find out about him and Paige the same day she just so happen to decide to stay, that same day and then I have a dream of them together? Why? - What is Edward thinking? - He seemed so hurt. Please oh please oh please don't let him be angry with me. Please I knew I should have never given in to his begging. If I had just kept resisting he would have given up…maybe… there was a knock at the door with a small voice coming from the other side.
"Bella… Bella are you ok?" Alice asked her melodic voice almost mesmerizing it's hard to think not even an hour ago Edward and Alice were fighting, and now Edward is mad at me all because of this stupid nightmare. "Bella may I come in?" she asked concerned since I hadn't answered her before
"G-Go away Alice." I sobbed out "I just want to be left alone." Truth is I just didn't want Alice to see me like this.
"Bella I'm coming in." she said in a warning voice. The door began to open
"No." I sobbed again I flung my body to try and shut the door.
"Bella come on let me in. You know I'm stronger than you. You can't close the door while I'm here." She said in one of those motherly voices. I gave up, moving out of the way to let Alice in. She gracefully sat next to me, Indian style. I was on the floor, sitting with my legs up in crash position. She looked at me concerned, I knew if I looked at her face I would crawl up into her lap and cry on her shoulder. She placed her hand on my back and rubbed it and with human reflex reactions I automatically looked up at her without thinking…damn her tricks…
"Oh Alice" I said rapping my arms around her neck and crawling into her lap. My tears started to soak her shirt
"Shh it's going to be ok Bella. Edward's not mad at you he's just so confused about that nightmare you had, and the fact that it brought back bad images of that night, made it worce, he needed to go take a breather. Jasper is trying to help him, since he won't listen to me." She made a weird face then turned back into a motherly person. Who knew Alice could be so comforting.
"But Alice you didn't see his face in person, it seemed like he was just murdered by my words or something." I started hyperventilating
"Shhh its ok Bella, breathe in, out, in, out." I started to try to breathe normal, but it wasn't working very well. Alice held me in a cradle position and supported my weight, like I was a feather, and gracefully got up and carried me to the bed. "Bella it's been a long day, you need to rest, you've been under a ton of stress lately. I will be here with you if you have a nightmare again, Ok? Don't worry everything will be fine." She smiled at me sweetly
"Ok I'll try." I sniffed. I shut my eyes and before I knew it I was sound asleep dreaming of Edward in the meadow talking about our wedding plans.

EPOV:
…Jasper isn't really helping the only good thing he's doing is keeping me calm-why wasn't he doing this when I was fighting with his wife earlier?…
"Edward, are you listening to me!?!" Alice asked irritated at me. I turned to look ather my hand never leaving my check.
"Not particularly." She glared at me with her death stare. I turned away and tried to ignore her … Damn Alice can be so annoying at times like this she doesn't even get why this upsets me so much. How can a person help another, if they don't even know what's really wrong I mean really. Alice just doesn't get the fact that Bella is so precious to me and if she's have nightmares about me and Paige how will she ever handle being a vampire. Uhh I'm getting a migraine Alice and her stupid screechy voice. I'm surprised she hasn't realized I'm not paying attention to her bicker anymore. I haven't for the past 10 min. and she still hasn't realized… I turned my head again to find Alice had left the room. Jasper was staring at me plainly.
"Are you going to talk to me or think to yourself some more?" He asked simply
"Um I guess I could talk to you… where? Where did Alice go?" I asked amused I turned to look around the room. Usually Alice sticks around so she can yell some more…or she hits me… till I pay attention any way.
"She went to go talk to Bella. She had a vision of Bella crying, so she went to go calm her down. So exactly what's wrong with you Edward? Your different, I'm surprised you actually are having such a hard time with this nightmare Bella had. Why do you think that is?" I turned to face him. My eyes bulged out as I saw the room basically transform into one of those therapist offices, him sitting in a flannel chair in front of me, there was a coffee table in between us, the walls looked like a dark green there were 4 lamps on in each corner of the room. Jasper was dressed in a suit with a light blue tie, and had glasses on his hair was commend to the side and gelled to stay there, in his pocket there were pens and a pocket protector covering half of the pocket. He was staring at me intently with a pen ready to scribble down notes on his pad of paper. I took another good look at him and burst out into laughter I was on the floor rolling around. "Edward, get a hold of yourself man, this isn't a laughing matter!"
"You should see what you're wearing." I said laughing so hard I could barely breathe. Jasper began to grow as his eyes turned in to a death stare. I quickly stopped laughing and sat back down in my chair to answer his questions. I cleared my through. "umm- I don't really know why it bugs me so much to tell you the truth- I guess maybe because the way she described it… it was exactly the way I saw it in Emmet's head I just… to have her see that… and have a image of that I guess makes me want to erase time or something… I don't know I wish I could just go back and stop myself from ever doing that …but you know that's not possible I can't go back in time it would change everything I would have never come back… I guess I would actually be dead…so there's no way I would go back in time or anything just- just forget about it… but um any way…wait what was the question?" I looked at Jasper confused of my ranting.
"Why do you think you're having such a hard time with this nightmare that Bella had? But you've already answered the question." He looked at me weirdly.
"I-I have?"
"Yes you have. You're not mad with Bella your just upset that she's going through so much stress and that this dream is making her have more, with her having to tell her dad about the two of you getting married, you telling her about your one night stand, then out of the blue Paige and Michael pop up out of nowhere so she's forced to deal with some competition. Now, I know there is no competition Edward, but Bella would, it's sort of like two dogs fighting over a bone, you being the bone, Bella wants to keep her bone safe no matter what it takes and Paige wants to take the bone from Bella, your mainly just a Ginny pig stuck in the middle." I nod actually following what he's getting at.
"You know something you're actually right for a change… but I'm not a bone - I'm a steak." And with that I left the room. He was staring at me as I closed the door behind me
... As if it mattered… He thought to himself.
I laughed and started for my room. I completely forgot that I had left Bella in there and didn't remember till Alice flicked my nose when I walked in. "Ow" I whispered rubbing my nose
"What are you doing here?" she whispered at me in an angry voice.
"I'm coming to check on Bella." I lied "Wait why am I explaining myself to you? Why are you in my room?"
"I was calming my sister-in-law from your pig headedness." She whispered forcefully poking me in the chest but before I could counter attack my angel spoke in her sleep those three words I love… ok sort of love- well I love it when she calls out for me from in her sleep so it counts…
"Edward – stop - fighting." She broke off in between words rolling back in forth in bed.
"Yeah Edward, stop fighting."Alice said with a smirk on her face "Why don't you just leave Bella to her sleep and go write a song or something make yourself useful for a change Bella doesn't need you to protect her all the time." I ignored Alice's tone of voice and stared at my angel …was she having another nightmare Werewe fighting in her dream? Or was it her subconscious mind telling me and Alice tostop fighting? Maybe I should go. I should wright a song like Alice said to do, make myself useful I guess- I could sing it to Bella for when she wakes up in the morning and ask he for forgiveness and if she'll still have me. Yeah that's what I'll do…
…good thinking Edward…
I turned and glared at Alice who was smiling coyly. I rolled my eyes at her and kissed Bella softly on the forehead, her skin so warm to my lips they felt like a burning fire, and the scent of her strawberry shampoo filled my nostrils with delight and intoxication. I pulled away and realized she was blushing… Even in your dreams you get flushed when I kiss you oh Bella I love you so much, what am I going to do with you?…I backed away and walked to one of the many shelves stocked full of CD's. I went to the farthest one and reached up to grab a huge leathered folder from above the book case. I held it in my arm, Alice watching my every move closely, I left the room along with my angel, sleeping in our bed, dreaming of who knows what. In no time I was down stairs the front hall where my piano was. Right before I could sit down I ran into the one person I didn't feel like talking to. Michael.
"Hey Eddy, how's the fiancé? You guys not getting along? Did she kick you out of your room so now you're forced to write her a love song for forgiveness?" He asked in a smuggish voice then a grin formed on his face "Maybe I should keep her company." And before the folder could hit the ground I had Michael pinned against the wall. My teeth barred at him. He smiled coyly "Temper, Temper, you wouldn't want Bella seeing this would you?" I slowly released him and backed away. I grabbed my scattered papers off the floor and placed the on my grand piano.
"Stay away from Bella if you know what's good for you." I coldly said never looking away from my pages.
"Whatever you say master Eddy-kins" He mocked then turned and left. I sat down and arranged my pages of music on one side then paced a sheet of notebook paper on the other side so I could write my lyrics, down.

BPOV:
I awoke to my Edward's music playing. It was soft but I could make out the melody, he was playing our melody. I followed the music ignoring Alice's complaints of how I talk way to much when I sleep. By the time I get to the balcony on the 1st floor I could hear my loving Edward's voice, singing. I had never heard Edward sing before, but its' just another thing to check off the long list of everything he's perfect at. His voice sounded so velvety and flowed magically with the melody of the music. I listened intently, intoxicated by his voice.
(Edward's song-mainly from over my head by the fray, words have been changed to make it fit the situation, but I love the piano in it so yah that's where I got it from, oh I'm sorry that some of it doesn't rhyme but hey it's still pretty good.)
I never knewI never knew that everything was pointing at youThat everyone I knew was waiting for me to fallow throughTo turn and run when all I needed was the truthBut that's how it's got to beIt's coming down to nothing more than apathyI'd rather run the other way than stay and seeThe smoke and who's still standing when it clearsNow everyone knows I'm inOver my headOver my headWith eight seconds left in overtimeShe's on your mindShe's on your mindLet's rearrangeI wish you were a stranger I could disengageJust say that we agree and then never changeSoften a bit until we all just get alongBut that's disregard
To save a life that shouldn't be saved at allInstead I'm watching you from under meAs you lose conciseness and then fall asleepEveryone knows I'm inOver my headOver my headWith eight seconds left in overtimeShe's on your mindShe's on your mindEveryone knows I'm inOver my headOver my headWith eight seconds left in overtimeShe's on your mindShe's on your mindAnd suddenly I become aware of the fact
I can't keep running from the past
I'm losing sanity and it's effortless
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In the through around
Never thought I wanted you to be there with me
I won't let you down, not till your safe with me
And everyone knows I'm inOver my headOver my headWith eight seconds left in overtimeShe's on your mindShe's on your mind
Everyone knows she's on your mindeveryone knows I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my…
Everyone knows I'm inOver my headOver my headWith eight seconds left in overtimeShe's on your mindShe's on your mind
I smiled when he ended and started scribbling down the last few corrections. "That's so beauty- "I stopped midsentence as Paige walked in finishing the sentence for me.
"-ful Edward did you wright it for me ohhh you shouldn't have. Edward you're such a doll." Paige said landing in Edwards lap then planting a long kiss on him. His back was away from me and her eyes had a look saying it's all over you're no competition to me.
"EDWARD CULLEN!!" Alice screamed at the top of her lungs. I didn't even notice the lovable Alice next to me. Edward whipped around and saw me he got up immediately pushing Paige to the ground he zoomed up to me without a sound and embraced me into a hug.
"I'm so sorry I didn't kiss her she came on to me I swear oh Bella don' be mad I love you and you know that please forgive me I'm so sorry for what happened it won't ever happen again I promise." He held me so tightly I could barely move.
"It's… ok… Edward… can't breathe." I said I a faint whisper
"Oh right sorry." He let go of me, but fell to the ground like a groveling 3 year old. I gasped for breath and stared at him as he held on to my legs.
"Edward, get up. I don't care anymore." He looked at me puzzled got up off the floor and looked at me as if I was an imposter.
"Who are you and what have you done with my Bella?" he asked locking my arms tightly.
"Ow you're hurting me Edward let go I'm the real Bella." he loosened his grip turned his head slightly to Alice then gave her a questioning look then turned to look back down the stairs. Paige was waving and smiling at Edward in a flirtatious way. I scowled at her she stopped immediately then skipped off into the living room.
"Ok well if you're the real Bella then who was that downstairs?"
"That was Paige. The girl you cheated on me with." I said irritated
"Lucky guess, who is planning our wedding?"
"Alice." I shifted my footing looked at Alice for some help. She looked at me and shrugged walking off.
"Another Lucky guess, what did Bella do when Victoria was attacking me?"
"I spilt my blood to distract her."
"Another lucky guess-" I sighed, and stared to walk back up to our room. Edward fallowed continuing to ask all sorts of questions. Like my favorite things to do. What type of car have I always wanted? What I want to do before I turn into a vampire, how far Edward and I have ever gone. And all these random things it felt just like the first time he ever interrogated me It last for about the whole day we were sitting at the table I was eating my breakfast slash dinner.
"When was the first time I saved you?"
"My second week of school, from Tyler's car." I said along with sigh I took a big bite of my macaroni and cheeses and began to chew
"Another lucky guess, when was your last period?" I began to chock on my macaroni. I forced myself to swallow
"Oh my god Edward Cullen you don't need to know that and for the last freaking time I'm the real Bella so stop asking me all these questions already please."
"Nope, that would be a wrong answer your last period was 3 weeks and 2 days ago." He said proudly, with a smile on his face. I gave him my death stare
"Ok that's it." I slid back my chair and began to leave the room. Edward grabbed hold of my waste and cuddled up into my neck I'm sorry I couldn't help it I just wanted to make sure it wasn't one of Paige's tricks. But um now that u gave up you really like it when I kiss your neck?" He grinned and kissed my neck softly.
"Cut it out Edward I'm mad at you."
"Awww I'm sorry, How are you goanna punish me hmm?" He asked kissing my neck again.
"I'm going to tie you to the bed and leave you there." I said starting to wiggle free and running up the stairs. He looked at me shocked then smiled my favorite grin, as he chased me up the stairs. I laughed as he caught up to me and picked me up closing the door of our bedroom behind us he threw me on the bed grabbed some rope out of the side table and handed it to me. I took me a second to realize what he was up to. I rolled my eyes and threw the rope on the ground. Grabbed him by the neck and forced him down on top of me, kissing him deeply. His hand on the small of my back, he lifted me up effortless and scouted the both of us back to the middle of the bed. He stopped kissing me and moved down to my neck. "Who said I was done kissing you. Come back up here."
"I was letting you breathe so you didn't pass out on me but I guess you have your breath back." I blushed as he began to kiss me again. His hands began to raise up my camy, then pulling it off. He moved his other hand to my breast and began to squeeze it. They became hard and firm from the coldness of his hands and body. He started to kiss his way down to them and started nibbling gently on my nipples, he took his hand and placed it on my wais t and began to tug on my pajama pants, revealing my black lacy thong… damn it Alice you did it again… he threw my pants on to the floor and started kissing his way down to my thong licking my stomach playfully. I grabbed his chin and raised it to look at me and began to bring it closer to me. He looked like an angel I kissed him softly "I wasn't done." He said softly taking in my expression
"I know but it's my turn now." he looked at me confusedly as I flipped him over straddling his waist.
"Oh I like this view" I rolled my eyes as his had reached for my ass and the other for my check I leaned down and began to kiss him deeply unbuttoning his shirt revealing his smooth ridged body. But without a warning I was on bottom again Edward with a half opened shirt in a protective, tense, crouch on top of me, teeth bared and staring at the door.
"Having fun there Edward?" Michael asked leaning against the door frame with a huge grin on his face. Edward began to have a low growl, as I started to squirm more trying to be a little more covered."Hello Bella I just wanted to talk to you for a little bit, but I can see that you're a little bit busy." Edward bared his teeth and began to growl loader, his whole body beginning to shake. "Oh don't worry Edward I'm leaving I'm leaving, oh and Bella" Michael said giving me another look over. "It's always a pleasure." He said coyly leaving with a grin. Edward began to relax. He got off of me and shut the door before I could blink. I scowled and threw my head back shutting my eyes tightly trying to forget what just happened. Edward walked back to the bed and sat down by my waist.
"I don't think we should try this again." He began looking at the ground "Every time we get a little bit further in our relationship sexually someone walks in and ruins the moment. I don't want anyone seeing you like this, other than me, especially not him." He tensed again his hands clenching into fists. I sit up and place a hand on his.
"It's ok I understand." I kiss him lightly on the check and start to lie down again but before my hand left his check he grabbed my head and kissed me intensely, sliding the other hand down my side slowly gliding it back up. Then in one quick movement he was on the other side of the room his shirt fully buttoned and he was peering out into the night.
"Bella there's something I need to tell you." He said turning his full gaze to me.
