Bella's POV: Fear, yet Shelter

"No!" I screamed. He grabbed my arm, and I tried to yank it from his grasp.

"Come on, Bella. You know you want to. You know you do."

I shook my head, and then screamed.

A flash of white flew by me, and soon, Mike's hand was gone.

It was Edward.

He was crouched low in front of me, glaring down at Mike, who was screaming.

"What the hell did you do that for?" Mike screamed. "You broke my fricking arm!"

"I will do more then that if you ever touch her again." Edward hissed. He looked menacing.

"All I was doing was-"

"I SAID don't touch her again. Got it?"

Mike nodded, fear in his baby blue eyes.

"Let's go, Bella." Edward said. He picked me up, and carried me towards the nurse's office.

"Put me down!" I screamed, kicking at him. He didn't even flinch.

"I said, put me-"

I stopped. He had put me down.

"How did we-"?

He shrugged. "I'm a fast walker."

I stared at him, mystified.

He frowned. "Is there something wrong with me?"

I shook my head. "No, it's just-"

"Edward Cullen!" I heard a woman said. "What brings you here today?"

"Hello, Mrs. Martin," He smiled, which made my heart go wild. He seemed to hear it.

"Bella just needs something to make her feel better. They had blood testing in Biology."

Mrs. Martin sighed. "There is always one."

I glared at her as she led me to a small white room. Edward was right behind me, but his footsteps were silent.

Mrs. Martin led me to the plastic bed. Edward sat down in the chair next to me, looking lazy and beautiful.

"Let me get you an icepack," Mrs. Martin said. She left the room.

I turned and glared at Edward. He was gazing at me, as if he was taking me in.

I was suddenly self-conscious. "Did I do something bad? What's wrong?"

He shook his head. "No it's just…"

Now I was confused. "What?"

"You are quite beautiful, that's all."

I blushed.

"Especially when you blush."

My blush blushed.

"Not to be rude."

"No, it's fine. No has ever called me beautiful."

Now he looked confused.

Then, Mrs. Martin came into the room.

"Here you are, darling," She said, handing me the ice pack.

"Actually, I think I'm ok. Thank you," I said, hopping of the bed. Edward followed behind.

Suddenly, I groaned. Edward looked at me. "Is everything allright?"

I shook my head. "Gym."

"I'll take care of that." He walked over to the desk. "Mrs. Cope?"

Mrs. Cope turned around. "Edward! What a wonderful surprise!"

"Do you think you could excuse Bella from Gym? She isn't feeling well, and I think it would be best if I took her home."

I froze. He can't take me home. No one was at my house.

Please say no, I thought.

"Sure thing, Eddie," She grinned. Edward pretended to cough. Apparently he didn't like his nickname.

He walked up to me. "Ok, Bella, we can go now."

I shook my head. "It's alright. I think I'm feeling better now!"

He shook his head. "I don't think so."

He grabbed my hand and led me toward his Silver Volvo.

I tried to get free of his grasp. "Let me go!"

He looked at me in the eye. "I promise, I'll just take you home."

For some reason, I was lost in his eyes, and I followed him into the car.

OOOOO

In less then 5 minutes, we were at my house.

"Here we are." He said.

I stared at him. He is just too fast.

I tried to get out as fast as I could.

"Bella!" He called when I started to close the door.

I leaned in, and he kissed me. It was a quick brush, but I could feel the electricity.

He rested his forehead on mine. "Goodbye," he whispered.

"Goodbye," I whispered back.

Then he pulled out of my driveway, and I think I saw him smiling.
