Edward's Point of View

I watched as the blonde one called Caroline bit Bella's neck. Bella didn't struggle; it was almost like she wanted someone to stop her. I headed straight for Caroline and knocked her away from Bella. I turned to reach for her, but Damon rammed into me and bared his fangs. I hissed and everyone was in a defensive stance against someone.

"Enough," a shaky voice said and I turned to see Bella leaning on the couch for support. Her neck was bleeding profusely and she was as pale as me, "No more fighting."

"Bella…." Caroline started.

"No it's fine Care bear I needed someone to stop me." My angel replied. "Please everyone just leave."

"You sure B?" Tyler asked.

"Yes." Bella replied.

"Alright you heard her get the hell out; all of us." Tyler said ushering us.

"You can't be serious," I said, "She is bleeding because of that out of control vampire." I pointed to Caroline.

"Look if B said she's sure about us leaving than we leave. You should have trusted that she can handle things; maybe then she would still be yours." Tyler retorted.

"Make us." Rose sneered.

"Listen up," Bella yelled, "You saw what I started to do before Caroline stopped me; now I suggest you leave before I finish."

Slowly everyone filed out except for myself, Jake, and the one named Damon.

"Bella please can we talk?" I pleaded.

"No," she said, "now leave."

"To hell with that Bella," Jake said, "We need to talk. What are you?"

"She isn't a what you stupid mongrel." Damon growled.

"Well she obviously isn't human." Jake stated.

"Not entirely," Bella spoke up, "I'm complicated and six months ago I would have told you everything, but now you have no right to know what I am so please all of you leave."

"I'm not leaving you unprotected." I said moving towards her.

"I don't want or need your protection all I want is for you to leave…..please." Bella said.

"What about your neck?" Damon questioned.

"I'll bandage it up." She replied.

"Bella please let's talk." Damon begged.

"No you made it quite clear what you have been thinking about lately." Bella snapped. I saw her eyes turn clouded and she was on the verge of tears. "Now leave."

Damon's eyes turned cold, "You aren't so innocent either little Swan." Damon sneered. "I bet you were merely waiting for them to come back and used me as a distraction. Honestly Bella if you had just told me up front I never would have objected."

I expected Bella to lash out to attack him, but she did no such thing. She stood there and I saw her eyes pale and all there was, was pain. It was at that moment I realized that Damon held her heart and not I anymore. I could accept that, but what I could not accept was how he had just broken her heart after she gave it to him whether he was aware of it or not.

I watched as Bella composed herself and she looked at us, "Please just leave."

"Gladly." Damon said and left.

Jake and I followed him and when we were in the hallway I pinned him against the wall;

"You ignorant fool," I hissed, "Can you not see she loves you?" I questioned. "I expected her to lash out at your comment, but no she stood there and said nothing. Then she didn't have to because her eyes said it all….pain. It pained her to hear you accuse her like that."

"Edward what are you doing?" Jake asked, "He wants Bella I thought you loved her."

"I do mutt, but I can see that he holds the place I once occupied." I replied.

"You don't know that." Damon said.

"Yes I do and if you weren't so blinded by insecurities you would see that as well." I snapped.

"Why are you telling me this; shouldn't you be trying to win her back?" Damon questioned.

I sighed, "I want to; every fiber of my being tells me to not do this and to take her for myself, but I can't. I love her too much to do that."

"Wow a noble vampire; how quaint." Jake said, "Stay away from her; both of you."

"Let me ask you something mongrel why haven't you imprinted on Bella yet if you are so certain you two are meant to be." I asked.

Jake was silent as he contemplated what I had said and finally answered, "I don't know."

"Exactly, although I know you love Bella she is not your soulmate." I stated and turned back to face Damon, "I will probably regret doing this, but I know I must give Bella this opportunity because I can see she wants to explore this with you but so help me God if you harm her I will kill you. Now I think the three of us should go back in and apologize for our behavior."

The three of us walked to the door and opened;

"Bella?" I called out.

We searched the entire room and there was no trace of her.

Bella's Point of View

Damon's words kept replaying themselves in my mind after he, Jake, and Edward left. Normally I would have thrown him across the room, but what he said cut so deep that I was frozen by the pain. I would never do that to him and I thought he knew that. I wanted Damon, but my history with Jake and Edward was still fresh and I still felt something for them yet the moment Damon said those things all I wanted was to show him they weren't true. The moment the door shut behind them I ran to the bedroom and cried; I wanted to get out of there, I wanted to be with my Dad.

I closed my eyes and when I opened them again I was sitting on the couch next to him;

"Bella, what in the hell?" Dad said, "How did you….." he didn't finish.

"I don't know; I wanted to be here and I closed my eyes and then opened them and here I am." I said.

"Looks like your powers are growing." He said then he noticed my tear stained cheeks, "What happened?"

I told him everything and all he did was hold me and tell me it was going to be alright. He left me for a minute to call Elena and tell her I was here, but he didn't mention how I got here. When he returned he had two beers and handed me one and I raised an eyebrow;

"Bells, I may be old, but I'm not naïve; I know you drink so what's the problem with having one with your old man?" Dad asked.

"Well you're contributing to the delinquency of a minor that's illegal." I teased.

"Well I'm Chief of Police so I can bend the rules a little." Dad said winking.

We sat there in silence for a while until I said, "I'm so proud of you Dad, that award is such an honor."

"Yeah, well I was happy my baby girl was there to support me." Dad said, "You looked beautiful tonight."

"Thanks." I replied.

"Bella, how are things in Mystic Falls?" he asked.

"Pretty good, I'm glad I went. Oh here is some news Tyler's a werewolf, well not completely because for him to complete the change he would have to kill someone so I have been watching out for him. He's dating a girl named Meredith, but she is clueless; Matt found out about everyone and he is still having a hard time adjusting." I said.

"What about the council especially Liz?" Dad asked.

"Liz doesn't know about Caroline; Bonnie and I spelled a ring so she can go in the sunlight." I said.

"Want to explain what happened to your neck?" Dad asked.

"I was wondering when you would notice it." I said, "I lost my cool and started to use my powers. I wasn't listening so Caroline bit me to make me stop."

"How much have you been using?" he asked.

"Well with everything that has happened; a lot." I said not wanting to lie.

"Bells, what am I going to do with you?" Dad sighed.

"I don't know." I replied. I looked over at the clock, "Dad it's 4 in the morning and I know you have to work so let's hit sack."

We said our goodnights and I collapsed on my bed. I woke up at 10 and there was a note on my nightstand;

Bells,

I told Elena to call before she heads over. She seems pretty worried about you, something about Damon, Edward, and Jake. If those boys give you trouble you call me and I'll leave work. I have a favor to ask, we are supposed to have a charity carnival tomorrow night and the band we were going to have fell threw any ideas?

Love you

Dad.

I smiled and walked downstairs and got a bowl of honeycombs. I sat down at the kitchen table and my phone buzzed letting me know I had a text message;

Bella where are you? E. (It was Elena)

I'm at home. B.

What happened last night? E.

Don't want to talk about it. B.

Damon is worried. E.

I got mad; just last night he accused me of using him and now he was worried.

Tell him I'm a big girl and I don't need his pity. B.

I didn't get any more texts after that. I decided to head to the school to go and visit Angela, Eric, Mike, and Jess. I went upstairs and realized I had no clothes that I wanted to wear. I remembered how I had got home last night so I decided to see if I focused on my clothes if they would appear. I closed my eyes focused on my clothes and when I opened my eyes there were my bags and I smiled.

I decided to wear my brown crochet trim peasant top, my denim bootcut jeans, doc martens and my triquetra moonstone necklace. I bandaged my neck, grabbed my fan stitched cardigan and headed to my old truck.

Damon's Point of View

"YOU SAID WHAT TO HER!" Bonnie screamed at me.

I had told everyone what had transpired after they left and I had been hit multiple times especially after I told them about Edward's comment. Apparently according to them he was now the better man and deserved her since he obviously cared about her more.

"Look I know I screwed up," I began.

"Damn right you did." Caroline said.

"Well what did you expect from me? She got under my skin and I lost my temper." I said and flopped down. "I don't even know where she is."

"She's at Charlie's," Elena said walking into the room, "He just called."

"How did she get there?" Stefan asked.

"I don't know all he said was she was safe and goodnight." Elena said.

We disbanded to our separate rooms and when I woke up we all met in Bella's room. Elena was busy texting her and I walked to her room where her bags still were. I had royally screwed up a good thing; first with my Katherine comment and then what I said. How could I be so blind; my Bella wouldn't have just stood there and took what I said unless it cut her deeply. I was staring at Bella's luggage when suddenly I felt wind whipping through the room and Bella's luggage disappeared.

I walked out of her bedroom and looked at everyone, "Well I know how Bella left last night; apparently she has new power."

I explained to them about her baggage and we all started to worry.

"I wonder how much that took out of her between that and someone being a jerk." Bonnie said glaring at me.

"Well she's up now so what do you guys think about heading to Forks?" Elena asked.

We agreed and checked out of the hotel.

It took us about two hours to reach Forks and when we got to Bella's house she wasn't there. Elena called her and we found out she was at the high school eating with some her friends and she invited us over. We drove over to the high school and found the cafeteria easily enough. When I walked in it I immediately spotted Bella. She was wearing a brown peasant top that accentuated every curve of her torso, boot cut jeans and her hair was up in a ponytail exposing her neck that was now bandaged. She looked over to me and immediately her eye color dulled letting me know that she was still hurting from my comment. She put on a fake smile and waved us over.

"Hey guys; everyone this is Damon, Stefan, Bonnie, Tyler, Meredith, Carter, Elena, Jeremy, and Anna. Everyone this is Jessica, Mike, Tyler, Angela, and Eric." Bella said introducing everyone.

Jessica automatically came up to me, "Like hi." She said and I saw Bella roll her eyes.

"Hello," I replied and walked over to Bella, "Can we talk?"

"NO." she said.

Before I could respond I heard the pixie's voice, "Bella!"

"Hey Alice," Bella said and hugged her, "When did you guys come back?"

"Oh about a week ago; where have you been?" Alice asked playing along.

"I moved to Mystic Falls." Bella replied and then she saw Edward, "Hello Edward."

"Bella could we talk?" he asked.

"No." she said.

"Why not?" he asked.

"Because the bell is about to ring and I'm going to meet my dad for lunch." Bella replied curtly. "I'll see you guys later." Bella said to the rest of the table and headed out to the parking lot.

"Wow Bella you drove this old thing?" Tyler commented.

"Yes and don't knock it; it's my baby." Bella replied.

"Bella," I said and came up next to her, "Please talk to me." I begged.

"Yeah you know what we are going to go get checked into the motel so you two talk." Elena said and they left us.

"Hop in." Bella said and we started to drive.
