APOV

What just happened? Why the heck did she just run away? As soon as the news came out, she suddenly burst out dashing for the door. I could see Edward run after her as she ran past him and for some reason; Rose was fuming right next to me.

"Rose, what's going on?" I asked worriedly, wondering if I should go after them.

"Mike," she spat out, her voice filled with venom.

"What about him?" I asked, my thoughts shooting like wildfire.

"He is, or should I say, was Bella's boyfriend. This was the Mike she was talking about." She stated, with her eyes burning.

"How dare he! That stupid, arrogant, self-centered, dirty, lying pig! Bella has been nothing but a great girlfriend and he just blows her off with some preppy dim-witted pop star!" I yelled out, barely containing my anger.

I was fuming, knowing that this wasn't the first time Bella's been in an awful relationship. Rose was about to get up and go after them, but I held her up. She looked at me with perplexity and anger in her features.

"No, Rose. Let Edward take care of this. I know there's something between them, I can just feel it. You may not see it now, but it's going to happen." I stated.

"I guess so. I just hope she gets better." She said sympathetically as the irritation was still evident in her facial expressions.

They both needed time to heal, especially Bella. Edward may think he's not ready for another relationship, but I just know that they are perfect for each other.

They may not know it, but I was determined to bring them together.

BPOV

I ran as fast as I could and went to the farthest and darkest room of all. I ran inside the kitchen and broke down sobbing as I curled up into a ball by the refrigerator.

I just couldn't believe it. I thought he loved me. I though he was different, that he was a great guy. Apparently, he's just the same with Jacob.

I was used, and he took advantage of the fact that I was in the other side of the country. I even wonder how many girls he was seeing behind my back.



I just kept crying, knowing that the world hates me, and that my life was a wreck. I probably cried for about ten minutes when I felt a long pair of arms wrap around me.

I immediately knew who it was. Edward was comforting me, and hushing me. He cradled me as his arms wrapped around my vulnerable figure. I turned so I was crying on his chest.

"Shh, Bella. It's alright, I'm here," he crooned, trying to cheer me up.

I just continued sobbing, drenching his shirt.

Then he started humming an unfamiliar tune, almost a lullaby. It intrigued me, and quite stopped me from sobbing as I listened to the melody.

"Edward, I'm sorry. I'm ruining your shirt, and I'm practically wasting your time. You can just go—" I said, my voice thick before he interrupted me.

"Shh, Bella. I really don't care. What's wrong? Do you want to talk about it?" he asked softly, gazing at me with worried eyes.

I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself before I start breaking down again.

"Mike was supposed to be my boyfriend, but I guess he practically ended our relationship now," I said sadly, as tears started to fill my eyes again.

EPOV

I ran after Bella, but she was nowhere in sight. I looked room after room, until I heard someone's muffled sobs from the kitchen.

I ran to that direction, hoping that Bella was there.

As I arrived, I saw her brittle figure weeping by the refrigerator.

She cried and cried so hard that it really killed me to see her suffering. So I slowly wrapped my arms around her and started comforting her. She turned, crying on my chest as I cradled her in my arms.

After trying to calm her down with some words, I immediately hummed a new melody, one that started pouring out of me. It was soft and gentle, like a lullaby.

She stopped crying, and my eyes met with hers.

"Edward, I'm sorry. I'm ruining your shirt, and I'm practically wasting your time. You can just go—" she started to say, but I interrupted her.

"Shh, Bella. I really don't care. What's wrong? Do you want to talk about it?" I asked worriedly, gazing at her.



She took a deep breath, trying to collect herself.

"Mike was supposed to be my boyfriend, but I guess he practically ended our relationship now," she tried to explain sadly, as tears started to pour out again

Mike. So he was in a relationship with Bella? And he dared to cheat on Bella? He doesn't know what he just lost.

"I met him when I just broke up with my ex Jacob after I found out he cheated on me with about 4 other girls," she continued with pain evident in her eyes.

So this is her second relationship with a guy like him? And to think that a girl like her can get into so much trouble.

"Mike was there, and he helped me get through that awful time. Soon we started dating, and I loved him. I thought he loved me too, but it seems that he just took advantage of me and started having affairs with those pop stars like that Amber person," she continued with a deep sigh as another tear started to fall.

I wiped away that tear with my thumb, and she seemed bewildered by my gesture. I started rubbing her back trying to make her feel better. She seemed to calm down a bit, and continued with her story.

"So now, I really don't know what to do. I bet he doesn't even know that I found out about their affair in national television. He probably left me since I wasn't good enough for him," She said wistfully.

"Bella, don't you ever say that! You are a wonderful person, and you deserve a better person! Mike doesn't have any idea what he just lost," I declared with determination as I got angrier with that creature as every second passed.

"I know that I probably gave you the wrong impression the first time we met, but honestly, you continue to mesmerize me every second." I confessed to her.

Her face was filled with confusion as she pondered on my words.

"I know I acted like a jerk when we first met, but the thing is I was just…afraid." I finally told her. "My last relationship ended badly and I was afraid that you could've gotten hurt…" I ended with my voice growing smaller and smaller.

"Edward, how could you ever hurt me? It's not like we're in a relationship and you're cheating on me, or some creepy stalker," she said, probably trying to lighten up the mood or denying the fact that I could hurt her.

"Bella, you have no idea," I finally said, as I rocked her once more and hummed the lullaby. Her lullaby.

The emotional stress must have drained her since she quickly fell asleep in my arms. I carefully carried her asleep to her room, meeting Alice along the way.



"Is she alright?" she asked me, looking at her in my arms.

"She'll be fine. Just give her some time." I replied as I carried her into her room.

I carefully tucked her in, as I laid her down on the bed.

"Goodnight, dear Bella," I said to her sleeping figure as I tucked her hair behind her ears ad finally left her room.

Mike just made a big mistake by hurting her, and just wait until I beat the crap out of him.

BPOV

I woke up in my room, carefully tucked in my bed. It was early morning, and the sun peeped through my windows.

I must have fallen asleep in Edward's arms. What an embarrassment. He must've carried me to my bedroom from the kitchen.

And then it hit me, Mike was still their making out with some young, pretty, rich little pop star. Tears threatened to spill again, but I mustered enough strength to stop them from falling.

I had to end this for good, and I don't care if it's over the phone. I grabbed my cellphone and dialed his number for hopefully the last time.

"Hey, Bella. How's your job?" he asked me with fake enthusiasm.

"Oh, it's great! How are things with Amber?" I casually asked with fake happiness.

"It's great! She's recording a few more songs for her album then we'll sell it for millions!" he ranted out excitedly.

"Oh, that's great! I guess you also enjoyed all of those lip locking and probably all those nights together in either of your beds!" I "cheerfully" replied.

There was dead silence in the other end. It took about a minute or two until he finally replied.

"Bella, where would you get all of that gossip? You know it's not true, I love you." he started.

"Sure you do! I guess you didn't get to see yourself making out with Amber on E! last night! It's over Mike, and there's nothing more you can do with it." I finally said coldly.

"Bella, you don't understand—" he pathetically tried to reason with me before I cut him off.

"It's over Mike! And don't bother with your pathetic reasoning!" I yelled before I finally hung up on him



It was finally over, I should be happy, but I couldn't help but feel anxious. I loved him, and look where that has taken me.

Then I was suddenly reminded of Edward's words last night.

"You are a wonderful person, and you deserve a better person! Mike doesn't have any idea what he just lost,"

He thinks I'm wonderful? He's probably just saying that to try to cheer me up.

I'm just a worthless, pathetic creature made to be tortured and live without value at all. Mike probably got tired of me since I meant nothing to him or to anyone.

He said that I mesmerized him, but it's not like that it's actually true.

I quickly got up and went to the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror and I looked terrible. I took a shower with the hot water slightly calming down my nerves and relieving those tight muscles.

As I got out, I quickly changed to my suit when I found a note by my nightstand.

Bella,

I told Carlisle to give you the day off. I told him you weren't feeling quite well. I hope you're feeling better now, and I hope that you'll enjoy the rest of the day.

Edward

Edward told Carlisle to give me the day off. Not only did he comfort me when I needed it, but he took time to actually do this for me. I don't even know if I would be able to work well today with my current condition.

This was too much. Edward was doing so much for him, and I haven't even thanked him.

I quickly dressed into more casual and comfortable outfit and quickly went to the kitchen for breakfast. I had some toast, and grabbed a cup of coffee and brought it with me as I looked for a sign of Edward.

As I walked through the hallways, I heard the piano playing another piece of music from the very same room I found him.

I followed the lovely sound and I stood by the doorway as I gazed at him playing the grand piano with such infatuation. His fingers glided through the keys as the melody flawlessly continued.

When the song finally ended, I quickly complimented him.

"You know, you never cease to amaze me," I said as I sipped my coffee.

He looked quite startled, not knowing I was there the entire time.



"Bella, I didn't know you were here. How are you feeling?" he asked me, motioning for me to come in.

"Better, I guess." I said as I went in to sit on the couch. "I just wanted to thank you, for being there last night, comforting me, and giving me the day off to feel better," I thanked him, a little bit embarrassed.

"It was my pleasure. It's the least I could do for being so horrible at you in the past. I'm glad you're feeling better." He replied, as he sat right next to me.

"You know, I ended it with him this morning," I stated, quite sullen as I looked down.

"Oh," he replied.

"On the phone. It felt good, actually. But I still can't help feeling a bit miserable," I ended with a sigh.

"Bella, you don't deserve to be miserable," he told me soft as he cupped my chin so my eyes met his. "He was an awful sorry excuse of a boyfriend, and you were right to end it. You deserve to be happy," he told me as his deep emerald eyes smoldered.

"Edward, I truly don't know how to repay you for all this," I started to say as my face scrunched up with worry.

"You don't have to, I want to do this." He said, trying to ease my anxiety.

"Thank you, Edward. I don't know what I would've done without you. Sure, I have Alice and Rose, but you're probably the only reason I won't lose faith in the existence of that guy out there for me," I admitted, grateful for having such a perfect creation there for me.

"Bella, never give up. That man is out there waiting for you, you just haven't found him yet. Any man is lucky to have you," he declared, his eyes bearing that spark, giving me hope.

"I just hope he won't hurt me anymore," I stated, with flashbacks suddenly flashing in my mind.

"He won't," he said determinedly. "And Bella?" he asked.

"Yes?"

"I would never hurt you." He promised softly, wrapping his arms around me.

"I know you wouldn't," I answered back, feeling assured that for once, I was safe.
