Listen to the song You Always Find Your Way Back Home by Miley Cyrus while reading this chapter, it has a nice beat!!

(Recap)

"Jacob!?" I asked as I looked up. It wasn't...Edward....? But before Jacob had a chance to let me go, Edward appeared next to me, glaring daggers at Jacob.

I gulped silentley, as my heart rate sped up. I looked between Edward and Jacob. Could I stop a fight? With the condition I was in?

(Bella's POV)

"What do you think your doing here, mutt?" Edward growled between his teeth. I looked at Jacob, waiting for him to let me go, but his arms just got tighter around me. I just met the guy and he was already acting like we were together. I sighed in frustration, and got up on my heels. I brushed my self and stepped aside from Jacob.

"That,"- Jacob said pulling me quickly by his side- "Is none of your bloody business." I cringed as Jacob's arm made it around my waist, moving down to my hip.

"Jacob let me go." Edward's eyes met mine and I stared into them. His nose flared and his body got stiff. I pulled my eyebrows together, questioning the cause of the sudden realization.

I watched as Edward took a deep breath before pulling me gentley to him, with no trouble at all. I guess Jacob wasn't as strong as I thought.

"OK, leech. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Take your pick." Jacob said easily. I looked up at Edward, and he looked down at me. His eyes grew softer and he smiled slightly.

He looked back at Jacob. "I'm not going to fight you. That would scare Bella, and that is something I never want to do. So I would appreciate it if you left." My mouth slightly parted, not believing what I had just heard.

"Oh no, no no. Do you think I would give up that easily?" He walked slowly to me, grinning. I cringed in to Edward's shirt. I pressed my face to his chest and inhaled his sweet scent, smiling.

"Jacob." Edward warned, stepping back with his arm around my waist. But that didn't stop Jacob, he just took another long stride and reached out to me.

I blinked furioulsy at Jacob. Who did he think was? Claming me like that! I sighed heavily, and clinged my self back when Jacob reached his hand to me.

"Bella, come on. You can come back to school tomorrow." He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him. I yanked my hand away and looked at Edward.

"Jacob, I'm only going to say this one time." He paused, placing me behind him, he started walking foward and continued, "Stay away from Bella."

"Or what...?" He challanged, stepping foward.

"Or you'll be walking with four legs." And with that the principale came up, threatneing Jacob to call the police. Edward pulled me swiftly next to him, walking to my next class.

"Edward why did you do that for me?" I questioned, as we were walking to my homeroom. He turned back to me.

He didn't answer he just started at me before opening the door to the class and got in.

(After school- at Bella's house)

"Bella, I'm home!" Charlie called. "In the kitchen, dad." I said after him.

Charlie had told me that I loved cooking for him, and that I usually did the dishes after dinner too. He complemented me that I was an amazing cooker, but to tell you the truth, I didn't look like a good cooker. But oh well, father's knows best. Or was that mother's knows best....?

A knock interupted what my father was going to say. I quickly wiped my hands on a spare napkin and made my way to the door. Unlocking the door was a problem. I would open one latch and then another, and then when I tried to open it up, it was still locked. I sighed in frustration and just went through the back.

Who is--" I got cut off by a huge bear hug from Jacob.

"Oh, Bella! I'm so glad your okay! Did Edward hurt you when I left!?" He stepped back, examining me. I shifted uncomfortable from one foot to the other, and bit my lip, a force of habit.

"What are you talking about, Jacob? Edward didn't do anything. He just walked me to my class." His eyes narrowed to the floor. He mumbled an "Oh", and I lifted one eyebrow.

"What did you think? And what are you doing here, anyway?" I walked back to the kitchen, with Jacob on my heels. Trying to change the subject from Edward.

But when I remembered the reason I changed the subject it got me really thinking. Why did Jacob think Edward hurt me? Edward would never do that. The closest to angry I had seen him was when I was almost leaving his family's house and Alice was trying to take me shopping.

"Don't even think about it, Alice. Bella's tired, she should have some rest." He had said.

"Our date remember?" Jacob's voice interrupted my train of though. I blinked, my back to him. What was he talking about? Date?

"Oh yeah, Bella. I thought it would be a good idea, for you guys to hang out." Charlie said walking in the kitchen with an empty Doritos bag. Smiling at Jacob.

"Did you ever think of letting me in, on the plan!?" I wasn't mad, I wasn't angry, I was furious. My dad does not have the right to set me up on a date! Especially with Jacob!

"Oh come on, Bells. Spend some time together, get to know each other. You used to have a really big crush on him...." He said in a convincing voice.

"What? I did? But, Alice said th--" My voice had a panic edgy to it, and my throat had gotten dry. My breathing sped up as well as my heart. This was impossible.

*Language Alert*

"Alice my ass!" He yelled his eyes raging with anger. I stepped back a bit, scared of his new actions. "Now your going to listen and your going to listen good. Jacob likes you and you like him" he said in a fierce and commanding voice.

I nodded, terrified.

"Do you understand, young lady?"

I stayed silent. And that was a bad idea.... Charlie took my head (which was still wrapped in a white clot) in his hand and shook it roughly. I screamed in pain.

"Charlie! Calm down!" I heard Jacob yell, but the pain was too intense to hear what my father replied.

The door behind me slamed opened, hitting the wall, and someone walked up to me, placing a hand on the small of my back. My eyes fluttered open. My vision wasn't clear,because of the salty tears that were cascading down my burning cheeks.

As my vision got clearer, I saw Edward, standing beside me. I opened my mouth to speak, but couldn't find the right words.

*Language Alert*

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! I WILL CALL BACK UP, IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES TO GET YOUR FUCKING ASS OUT OF HERE!!" Charlie bellowed before Edward.

Edward's arms made there way around my waist, lifting me up and I felt the ground disappear beneath my feet. I closed my eyes shut, biting my lip at how hard my head was pounding.

"Bella, every thing's going to be okay. I won't let him hurt you." Edward's velvet voice promised me.

Edward made it to his house in a record of time. I hadn't been able to really, fully fall asleep in his arms because I was afraid he would disappear in a sudden puff of smoke, and I would end up back at my house.

"What happened!?" I heard Esme yell as soon as she saw me in Edward's arms. I moved my head in to the crook of Edward's neck, embarrassed.

"Charlie." Edward growled. Everyone gasped, except me and Edward. The pain slowed down a bit and I wondered why. "Thank you, Jasper." Edward whispered, but I could perfectly hear him, for his mouth was right above me.

"Edward, I'm so sorry. I couldn't see, because Jacob was there and Charlie hadn't planned it, he just took a different course as fast as possible. I'm so sorry." Alice sobbed. I opened my eyes and turned my head sluggishly while Edward placed me on the white couch. Everyone hovered over me instantly.

"Alice what are you talking about? You could have not stopped what he did to me. And besides it was my fault for not listening to him, like I promised I would." Alice looked up at Edward and Edward sighed. He knelt down beside me and wiped my tears away gently. "Nothing is your fault. Never blame your self. You never knew what was coming."

"Edward is right, Bella. If you trip and a bus crashes into you, or an airplane comes and crashes near you for god knows what. Or your merly fall going up the stairs. Or maybe even--" Rosalie began saying but Edward cut her off.

"Your point?" His eyebrow's raised in a perfect line. "My point is that,"-she paused to kneel beside my arm, as like Edward- "that's how your life is." She shrugged. "And we can't change that. You are, who you are. Were already used to you falling and getting hurt because we've grown fond of you, very easily. And we love you, very much."

Silence filled the room when she finished, but then Emmet broke it by saying, "Wow, Rose, didn't know you had it in you." He walked around the couch to quickly peck her lips.

"There's a lot of things you don't know about me..." She grinned, evilly and I smiled. She was playing with Emmet, I could tell. Emmet's eyes widened. "What?"

"Nothing...." She sang, walking out of the living room, with Emmet on her heels. I shook my head and yelped in pain. Everyone stiffened and Edward jumped. "Are you OK?"

"Yeah." I breathed. "Just got to remember not to move my head, so much."

"I will take care of that." Carlisle commented, smiling. "Edward carry her to your bedroom."

(A/N: Bella sleeps for a while and blah blah blah. I'm not going to write that because she's just sleeping, but keep reading because Edward tells her here that she SLEEP TALKS!)

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

"Make it stop, please...." I groaned. There was another beep and then silence. I sighed, contently. There was a sudden movement before I felt Edward's hand on my cheek.

"How are you feeling?" I shrugged slightly. "I've had worse, I've been told."

Edward chuckled. "Yeah, your right." I stared in to his butterscotch eyes, and found my self blushing, but somehow I couldn't look away.

Someone cleared there throat but niether of us looked away from our gaze. Alice groaned, frustrated and said, "Whatever! I forgot what I was going to say anyway!" And with that she stormed out.

"So who's Jared?" Edward asked me. I looked at him confused, my brows coming together. "What?"

"In your sleep you said something about Jared." I gulped. My mother had told me when I was little that I sleep talk. She used to tease me about it, but with everything going on, I had forgot about it.

"Crap" I muttered. "Don't worry, you didn't say anything else, other than my name. A couple of times." He said, looking down.

"What!? How many times?" My cheeks flushed three shades of red, before he replied, still smirking, "Just a few. Not as many as you usually do." I saw him regret his words instantly after they slipped.

"I used to talk about you in my sleep before?" I question, suddenly curious. He smiled to him self. "All the time." he whispered. I felt a big jab of pain in my heart, seeing Edward in pain, was really hard to take. I mean, I know the whole story about me loving him and stuff, but I still can't understand how someone like him could love someone like me.

I bit my lip, pressing my teeth hard in my lip. "I'm sorry. I can't imagine how hard it is for you." He looked back up to meet my eyes, his eyes glowing with anticapation when he looked at me. "No, it's not hard for me when your around, it's actually better." He smiled a perfect crooked smile, that left my stomach in circles and my knees like jello.

I smiled back at him, regretting ever leaving him in the first place.


I personally think this chapter could have been better, but your the judge here! I'm almost done with Chapter 10 so I will be posting that one up to and in Chapter 10 I am using EdwardlovesBella02's idea!! Which was AMAZING!!! Remember to Review!
