Hey, sorry this is a little late but I'm being swamped by work. This is a quick authors note because I'm so busy and I'm sorry to say that is is kind of a filler. This has a sort of revelation in it, but it's still a filler.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Twilight that belongs to the amazingly talented Stephanie Mayer. I do however own the plot and any characters you haven't heard of.

EPOV:

Me and Bella stand and begin to walk down the path when I take her hand; she freezes up, but when I squeeze it, she takes hold of my hand also and we walk into the building. "Mr Cullen!" We turn towards the noise and see Nurse Mallory standing in the doorway, glaring at me. Jesus, if looks could kill I'd be 6 feet under. "Dinner is over and you have eaten nothing. You were seen running out of the cafeteria and you refused to return. Need I remind you what ward you came from?" "No nurse." I reply through gritted teeth. "Follow me please Mr Cullen." I turn towards Bella and see her in tears. "What's wrong?" I ask her frantically. "I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry." Then she rips her hand from mine and runs down the corridor, sobbing as she go's. I stand staring in the direction she left, wanting to run after her but not wanting to get in more trouble and being made to move back to the anorexia ward; to be honest, I don't know if I will be made to go back there anyway. "Mr Cullen!" Nurse Mallory barked at me. I drop me head, look at the floor, and follow her, defeated in every sense of the word.

BPOV:

Me and Edward are walking back towards the building when Edward takes my hand and I freeze remembering all the times Phil had done this, but then he squeezes it and I know this is different, because I feel safe and that never happened with Phil. Then nurse Mallory tells him to go with her and I know he's going back to the anorexia ward; it's all my fault and selfishly, I also won't have my safety anymore. I know I've only just met him, but I've never felt as protected in my life. "I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry" I say to him, tears streaming down my face, then I turn and run and don't stop until I reach my room. Slamming the door shut I turn and collapse on my bed.

Rose, who was lying in the bed next to mine reading a magazine Mary had brought her last week, jumped up, ran over to me and wrapped her arms around me. Not as good as Edward, and now I will never feel the protection again because he's leaving and it's all my fault. He probably hates me and it's just what I deserve. "Bells, what's wrong, what's happened?" Rose inquires frantically. "E-Edward" I manage to choke out between sobs. "What did he do? Where is he, I will fucking kill him." Rose screams. "Nothing, he did nothing." I get out quickly and I see a myriad of emotions cross her face, relief, calm, and then confusion. "So what's wrong?" "He hates me." "Honey, I'm confused, start at the beginning." "Okay." I reply meekly, I never used to be meek.

"When we walked up to the table and say Edward sat there, all I could think was how like Phil he looked. I had to get out of there, so I ran and I kept running until I reached the tree." I say. "Sorry babe, he looked so hurt that he may have hurt you and he didn't know how, he just wanted to find you and apologise so Em told him where you were likely to be." "Rose, I don't care that you told him, that's fine." I give her a small smile and she responds by wrapping her goddess like arms around me. "When I saw him walking up towards me, I coward back- I thought Phil was back to finish the job- and then I noticed the difference in their features and that Edward is taller than Phil, and I calmed down a bit. When Edward asked if he could sit down, I noticed the difference in personality between them, Phil would never ask, just do. Edward thought I had an eating disorder and was royally confused when I told him I didn't, so I told him my story." Rose's mouth dropped open as she knew that I would never tell anyone my story, not even Jasper and he knew it already! "I know, he told me his in reply and we understood each other a lot better. As we were walking back to the building, about 10 minutes ago, he took my hand in his and I felt safe."

"So what happened between then and now to make you like this?" Rose asked soothingly. "Nurse Mallory-" "Ugh, I hate this already. Carry on." "Nurse Mallory came to find him because he hadn't eaten and then she told him to follow her." I looked up at Rose who looked down on me confused. "It's all my fault! Don't you get it, he's going back to the anorexia ward and he will hate me. The protection I felt will be stripped away and he will never talk to me again, that's if he ever comes back. Oh my god, what if I never see him again, what if I never get a chance to apologise." The sobs come harder and faster. "He ran out of the cafeteria after you and didn't go back. He came from the anorexia ward, Jesus, he's in for a ride for the next week or so. Bells, he won't be going back, he's just being taken to his psychiatrist. He will be asked what happened and then, if they think he's at risk of not eating again, they will send him back, but from what you've just told me, he was being a friend." I just sniffle. "Look at me." Rose orders me, I look up and feel her intense stare penetrate my body and reach a part of me I never thought I would feel again. "He. Will. Be. Fine. He. Will. Come. Back. And. He. Will. NOT. Hate. You! Okay?" "Thanks Rose, I'm going to go clean up." I stand and Rose's arms envelop me in a bear hug with as much force as Emmett.

EPOV:

I follow Nurse Mallory, not looking where we're going, not caring. All I can think about is Bella and how heartbreakingly sad she looked. I feel a pang in my heart and I wonder if I'm having a heart attack brought on by the lack of eating over the past- Jesus, I don't even remember how long it was. I don't realise that Nurse Mallory has stopped and I walk right into her, she just turns and glares at me- again! She raises her right fist and knocks on a door I recognise to be Jaspers, my psychologist. "Come in." I hear his soothing voice say from within. She opens the door, steps aside and pushes me in, before closing the door.

"Mr Cullen, I've been expecting you." Jasper turns around in his big swivel chair stroking the air in the motion you would take when stroking an animal. "I've ALWAYS wanted to do that!" He says with a childlike smile on his face. "Dr W, have you been sampling the drugs?" I ask him with a slight smirk. "No!" He feigns shock. "I just know that you don't need to be here because I think rather highly of my skills and I deemed you well enough to be moved out of that ward, and I know how much you hated it, so I know that you wouldn't risk going back in for nothing. Talk to me Eddie." I sigh and move towards his brown leather couch, why brown? "You sound like Emmett, it's Edward." "Ah, the great Emmett McCarty. Not one of my patients, but always a pleasure. Now, talk to me." He laughs, "I sound so grown up, my mother would be proud."

I tell him about meeting Emmett, him taking me to the cafeteria and introducing me to the girls. I say about Bella running out and me going after her, I tell him what she told me about why she ran but when I got to the part about her telling me her story, he gasped, looked shocked and then smiled. "What?" I asked. "Oh nothing." I give him a look. "Oh fine, Bella hasn't told anyone her story, not even me, she must really trust you." "I've only just met her Jasper." "Oh, I know. You might just be the thing she needs Edward. Now, I sense there is more to this story, so carry on." I tell him how I told her my story and then, as we started walking up towards the building, I took her hand, she froze, but after I squeezed it, she relaxed. When we reached the building, Nurse Mallory told me to follow her and then Bella started sobbing and told me she was sorry, then ran off. I was so caught up in what I was saying, that I didn't realise I was telling him how I wasn't paying attention to where she was taking me, I was just thinking about Bella, and then I felt a pain in my chest and I was wondering if I was having a heart attack. He smiled again.

"What is it this time?" I asked him exasperated. "You aren't having a heart attack Edward, you like her." Who?" I try to act confused, even though I know exactly who he's talking about. He saw through it. "Bella. And you would be good for her, so go to her and talk to her." "Don't you need to talk to her?" I ask. "She's okay, I don't need to speak to her." I turn to go but I stop when I hear, "Oh, and Edward, I know about the tree." I laugh, walk out of the door and start walking towards Bella's room. I knock on her door and it opens to a girl with crazy red hair. "What?" She grunts. "I'm here to see-" "Edward!" Over her shoulder, I see Rose jump up off of her bed. She shoves the red headed girl out of the way, links her arm with mine, and walks me down the hallway. "Rose, where's Bella, I need to speak to her." "Edward, she likes you, a lot, she just doesn't know it yet." I stop walking and look at Rose, unbeknownst to me, a smile develops on my face. "You like her too!" She squeals, then she gets serious. "You do realise that you need to build up to it don't you, make her realise her feelings." I look down at Rose, "Rose, I've heard her story, I'm not going to force anything. Where is she?" "Our little Bellarina is in the cafeteria with Em, she got hungry and, as I'm sure you know, Em's always hungry. Mary got them in." I kiss her cheek. "Rose, you are a genius!" I run off towards to cafeteria.

VPOV:

That little bitch Bella has everyone running after her. That hottie that came here was looking for her, he obviously likes her by the look of disappointment on his face when he saw me and then Rose. I bet he won't like her when he finds out she's unstable as fuck because she's been hiding her pills in her pillow case. Then, he will run into my arms, I just have to get rid of James- after he does what I want of course.

I will see you all next week. Please review to tell me if you like this story or not, they also make me happy. I am so sorry about the problems with my memory stick last week. If you want advice on eating disorders, there is a link on my profile. Bye ~Megan xxx
