I awoke in my bedroom on my bed. The events from earlier today began to flood in my mind. The last thing I remember is that I feel asleep in Edward's cold arms in the girls bathroom.

How did I get home? I thought. I glanced over at the clock on my nightstand and it read 8:27 pm.

I rolled over and felt a body beside me. "Oh my gosh." I said placing my hand on my heart.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." A familiar musical voice said beside me. I glanced over my shoulder to see Edward smiling at me.

I sat there frozen. I couldn't remember how to breath. Edward began to rub my back softly. "Bella, breath."

I obeyed his orders and began to take deep breathes. I turned slowly to look at him. I was confused.

"How did I get home?" I asked.

"I brought you home. You were fast asleep." Edward said a matter-of-factly.

"What happened to Lauren? Did she get in trouble? What about play practice? They were supposed to start today! What about Charlie? Is he home?" I said impatiently.

I began to hyperventilating. Edward again tried to calm me down.

"Bella, everything's okay. Just calm down and breath."

I was still was hyperventilating. "Bella, I won't tell you what happened unless you calm down." Edward said in a stern voice.

I started taking deep breathes once again, but it didn't help any. Whenever Edward had his hands on me, my heart went crazy. But I eventually calmed down. Still taking deep breathes. Edward began to answer my questions.

"Lauren was suspended from school for 3 days. What a joke. That's a slap on the wrist. I talked to Mrs. Castle and she said that it was okay if we didn't come in today, but we have practice starting tomorrow or else she'll re-cast the roles. Now about Charlie, he came home around 5 o'clock and saw that you were sleeping. He left you a note on your nightstand saying that he was going down to La Push to watch the game with Billy Black and Harry Clearwater and would be back afterwards." Edward said without taking a breath.

I sighed. Of course Lauren didn't get in a lot of trouble, even with her prior attacks against me. She has that entire school administration wrapped around her finger. People would think that I would get the special treatment since I'm the daughter of the Chief of Police, but I guess not.

"Why did you stay?" I asked breathlessly.

He placed his hand against my cheek and whispered, "Because I care about you."

"Why? I mean, we aren't even dating." I said a little harshly.

Edward removed his hand from my face and began to glare at me. "So that means that I can't care about you?"

"Yes, it does. If were not official then you shouldn't care." I said.

I looked into Edward's eyes, he looked troubled. "Look Bella, I can't."

I turned away from him and glared angrily at the floor. "So what, you'll date Lauren, but you won't date me."

"Bella, you don't understand. I'm dangerous. I don't want to risk hurting you or worse..." He said and shuddered at the thought.

"You dated Lauren. You would risk her?" I shouted at him.

"Yes, I would." He said calmly. (HAHA... LOL!)

I remained silent and glared at the floor once again. Traitor tears began to fall from my face, but I tried my best to hide them. I immediately wiped them off my face without Edward noticing. He was staring out my window. Edward turned his face in my direction and sighed.

"Look Bella. One of the only reasons I dated Lauren was because I wanted to test myself. I wanted to see if I can handle a relationship with a human. And while dating Lauren I almost lost control of myself. That's why I chose to date someone that wasn't really that important to me. And that's why I don't want to risk anything with you because I care too much. It's hard for me to be here right now because I don't want to lose control." Edward said without taking a breath once again.

From what he just told me, only one word confused me. HUMAN!

"Human?" I asked, confused.

Edward's face immediately tensed. "I mean't girl... GIRL." He said basically shouting at me.

"But..." I said. Edward put his hand over my mouth so I couldn't speak. He looked nervous.

"Charlie will be home any minute, I'd better go." He said. And before I could object, he was gone.

Just as Edward predicted, Charlie arrived home 2 minutes later. Charlie went straight to his room, and I'd figured he went to bed.

I began to wonder about recent events that have taken place. How did Edward know that Lauren was planning an attack on me because since they were broken up, she wouldn't have said a word to him. And how could he know when Charlie was coming home because he isn't in contact with Charlie. And he used the word human in the conversation just a minute ago.

I fell asleep with one question on my mind.

"Is Edward Cullen human?"

Sorry that it took me FOREVER to update. I was on vacation and I've been reading Breaking Dawn. (I loved it, but Twilight will always be my favorite book from the series.) I have a poll on my profile so vote please because I want your opinion. I hoped you liked that joke I did about Lauren, I thought it was pretty funny. ANYWAYS please review and give me your feedback. AGAIN i'm sorry that it took so long to update, I'll try to update sooner from now on!

THANKS!!
