When I opened the door there was a women standing there who I didn't know, but she looked familiar to me.

"Hello. Is Edward Cullen here by any chance?" she asked me.

Why was she looking for Edward?

Bella's POV

"Umm yeah he is just inside. Do you want to come in?" asked her. she smiled at me and followed me inside the house to look for Edward. I saw him from across the room and I went over to tell him that this women was looking for him.

"Edward. There is a women here to see you." I told him. He looked at me confused, but he glanced over my shoulder to suddenly his expression turned angry.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" he growled at the women who was standing behind me.

"Oh so it is true. I thought Kate was lying when she phoned me and told me that she was your car outside." The women smiled innocently at him while she answered.

"What do you want Tanya?" Edward growled again.

Tanya? So this was his now ex-wife. What was she doing here? And why the hell did I recognise her?

"I don't want anything. I got everything that I wanted in the divorce. I just wanted to see what Edward Cullen was doing now that he is single again." She glanced at me when she had finished her sentence.

I was standing next to Edward as he spoke to Tanya. Not long after she had finished speaking Emmett and Jasper were standing next to Edward while Rose and Alice stood next to me.

"Hey Emmy." Tanya smiled as she looked at Emmett.

"Emmy?" Rosalie asked. Tanya suddenly glared at rose.

"Is this your latest one Em? I haven't met this one before." Tanya asked looking directly at Rose.

"Piss off Tanya!" Emmett answered harshly.

I continued to look at her trying to figure out where I knew her from and then it hit me when I finally realised who she was.

"You!" I growled between clenched teeth. She just looked at me confused, as did everyone else who was around me.

"Me what?" she asked still smiling at me.

"You were the one I found sleeping with James!" I whispered. I must have gone into shock or something because I couldn't find the energy anywhere in my body to make my voice any louder.

Alice and Edward were the first ones to ask me questions.

"What are you talking about?" they both asked me.

I turned to my sister first, because I honestly didn't know what to tell Edward.

"Remember a few months ago I came here and told you that I found James sleeping with someone else. Well there she is!" I pointed at Tanya, who was still looking confused, but she looked like she understood when I mentioned James's name.

"Oh James, I remember him, he was very good. I haven't seen him in a while. Do you know how he is?" she asked looking directly at me.

I don't know what caused me to react the way I did, but I moved forward and slapped her across the face.

"You fucking whore!" I snarled at her.

I had totally forgot that there were other people in the house and that we were suppose to be having a party when the next piece of out conversation came out from her mouth.

"How dare you call me that. After all the rumours that you sent around about James." She answered back, rubbing her cheek where I had hit her.

"What rumours?!" I asked angrily.

"James told me that you had been spreading rumours around telling everyone that he beats you up, that you were only doing it for attention because miss Bella always needed to be the centre of it." She laughed cruelly at me. I heard everyone in the room gasp or start whispering between themselves after what Tanya had said.

"They were not lies. You have no idea about what I have been though. You have no right to accuse me of lying." I whispered to her, I saw everyone looking around at each other as the two of us confronted each other.

"Keep telling yourself that sweetheart. You know he never touched you, it is all in that pretty little head of yours." She said back, loud enough so that everyone in the room could hear her.

"I think it is time that you left Tanya. And don't think I wont make you leave if you don't go now!" Edward told her from beside me.

When she didn't move I decided that I would make her !

"Get. Out. Of. My. House!" I yelled through clenched teeth. I hadn't noticed until this point that my eyes had over flowed with tears and that I was now crying.

Tanya smirked at me one more time before turning and leaving the house.

I was only fully aware that people were whispering amongst them selves after Tanya left and I also noticed that the majority of the people were talking about me.

"I think it is time that everyone went home now. Please! My sister needs a moment to herself." Alice said as she gathered everyone up and lead them all to the door.

When Alice came back into the living room she hugged me and kissed my head.

When I broke free from Alice, I excused myself to my room. I needed a few moment on my own just to think about what happened tonight. When I got to my room, I crawled into the middle of my bed and curled into a tight ball and cried.

I don't know how long I was there before someone came into my room and lay beside me on the bed. Once that person wrapped their arms around me I knew instantly who it was. Edward was lying on my bed pulling me closer to his chest.

"Everyone is going to think I made everything up" I whimpered quietly.

"They wont Bella. Does anyone apart from Alice know what you went through when you were with James?" he asked me as he stroked my hair softly.

I shook my head no.

"Then you have no reason to worry about what they think. They don't know Tanya, but they know you. You are the most honest person I have ever met and the people who live around you know that you would never lie, especially about something like this." He promised me.

I continued to lay on my bed for a few minutes before I had a question for Edward.

"Why the hell did you marry that women?" I asked in a whisper.

"I asked myself the same question everyday. I never truly realised what a conniving, shit stirring bitch she truly was until today." he answered me.

I yawned in his arms. I knew it was still early, but I was truly tired and I wanted to go to sleep, but Edward made me do one more thing before I could fall asleep.

"Bella, go have a shower and change into something comfortable. I don't think your current attire is suitable for sleeping in." he said as he kissed my head.

Reluctantly I moved from my bed and headed towards the bathroom. I turned around to face Edward before I went in.

"Will you be here when I come back?" I asked, my voice was all hoarse from crying.

"I will be here as long as you need me." he promised as I left the room and went for a shower.

The shower was amazing. It helped me relax and forget, even if it was for a little while, about what had happened down stairs. I had washed my hair before the party, so there was no need for me to do it again. I washed my body quickly before getting out and wrapping a towel around me. I had brought a pair of pyjamas with me into the bathroom so that I could change before I headed back to my room.

When I got back to my room, Edward was still lying on my bed, where I had left him a few minutes ago. I threw my clothes into a pile on a corner of my room and went back over to the bed and lay next to him. As soon as I got there, he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

"Feeling better?" he asked me as I lay my head on his chest and closed my eyes.

"Yes" I answered him, simply. I didn't have and couldn't find the energy to answer him any other way.

It didn't take me long before I started to drift off to sleep. I was happy to fall asleep in Edwards arms, until suddenly I woke up at the sensation of Edward removing his arms from around me and moving off the bed.

Automatically, I grabbed a fist full of his shirt in my hands holding him to me.

"Please don't go!" I begged in a whisper.

Edward sighed, but came back to lay next to me with his arms wrapped around me. I didn't let go of his shirt until I knew that he was going to stay with me.

As I lay in bed with Edward holding me, I know that my feelings for him were getting stronger. Too strong in fact! I hated the moments when we were away from each other and the times that we were together, I didn't want to let him go. Ever! I was starting to think that I loved this man. No, I couldn't love someone after only knowing them for 3 weeks could I? But then again, I had never felt this way about anyone before.
I loved him! I loved Edward Cullen.

Once I had realised that I loved him, I realised that I needed to tell him. I was so tired and I knew if I said it to him now, he would think I was just talking in my sleep. But I didn't care. I needed to say it and hoped that he heard it.

"Edward?" I whispered sleepily.

"Yes." He answered.

"I love you". I told him before I fell asleep on his chest.

I don't know if I was dreaming as soon as I fell asleep, but I'm sure I heard him say something.

"I love you too."

Edward's POV.

I was so angry right now! I was still fuming about what Tanya had said to Bella. I knew she was bitch, but she sunk down to a whole new level this evening.

After Tanya had left, Bella went straight to her room. She needed time on her own and I knew that, but it physically hurt me to watch her go upstairs on her own, knowing that she was upset. Alice told me that I could go up in a while. After everyone had left, Emmett and Rosalie went home. Emmett never like Tanya anyway, but when she had a go at Rosalie, she crossed a line with Emmett and I could see by the look on his face that he was ready to kill her if he got anywhere near her again.

I waited as long as I could before I went upstairs to see Bella. When I got to her room, found her curled up into a ball on the bed crying. I didn't even have to think about my actions before I walked over to the bed and wrapped my arms around her and held her tightly to my chest.

She started talking about what everyone was going to think about her after Tanya's little out burst. I told her that she had nothing to worry about because everyone knew that she would never lie, especially about something like this. She stopped crying for a while before she asked me the question I had been asking myself for years.

"Why did you marry her?"

I honestly didn't know how to answer that. I was young and very very stupid when I made the decision to marry Tanya. I couldn't for the life of me think what the reason was now. Bella yawned and I told her that she needed to have a shower and go to sleep. Exhaustion wasn't something that she needed right now. she picked up her things and went to the bathroom, but not before making sure that I would be here when she got back. I promised her, that I would be here as long as she wanted me to.

The rest of the evening consisted of Bella lying on my chest falling asleep. I tried to move once, but she clenched her fists into my shirt and held me back on the bed and begged me not to go. I sighed and lay back on the bed and decided that I should try and get comfy as it was plainly obvious that I was going to be here all night. Not that I minded mine you. I would quick happily spend every night with Bella.

After a few minutes I was sure she was sleep when she started talking.

"Edward?" she asked for me. I didn't know if she was conscious or if she was actually talking to me, so I decided to play it safe and answer her.

"I love you." Well that took me off guard. Not in a bad way. I had known for a long time that I was falling for this women. But I had never thought that she would share the same feelings about me as I had for her. I did love Bella swan, I had know that for a while now. well actually, probably the third of forth day that she was in hospital.

I didn't care if she was unconscious and that she couldn't hear me, but I needed to tell her how I felt now that I knew that she felt the same way.

"I love you too." I told her and she snuggled closer to my chest and she fell asleep. I couldn't help but smile as I watched her sleeping. She was so beautiful and peaceful. I never wanted to move from this spot. Me holding her in my arms was my idea of heaven.

Te next morning I was the first to wake up. Bella must have rolled over in the night because she was no longer sleeping on my chest, but she did have her hand in mine. I looked down at the position our hands were in and smiled.

Some how in the night, I must have taken my shirt of because I now had no shirt on. I vaguely remember waking up the in middle of the night because Bella's room was so damn hot that I needed to take something off so I decided to take my shirt off. It I took my jeans off, it would raise to may questions.

I slowly moved Bella's hand from mine and got up off the bed. I looked down at the floor and saw my shirt lying on there. I picked it up and threw it over my head. I decided that as I was here and the first one awake, I would at least make her some coffee for when she got up. I walked downstairs into Alice's kitchen. I heard someone moving around as I entered. Obviously I wasn't the only one up.

I walked into the kitchen to see Jasper making coffee it looked like.

"You stayed the night too huh?" I asked from the doorway.

Jasper looked at me and nodded.

"Yeah. Alice was a little upset by what happened at the party. I know she is no where near upset as Bella is, but I still didn't want to leave her like that. How is Bella this morning anyway?" he asked

"I wouldn't know. she is dead to the world at the moment." I smiled as I answered him.

Jasper looked at me as I walked through the kitchen to the coffee pot and made myself a cup of coffee. He glanced up at my hair and sighed.

"Please tell me you didn't sleep with her?" Jasper asked. I nearly chocked on my coffee when he asked me that.

"What! No I didn't! Where did that come from man?" I asked coughing.

"Sorry. Your hair just looks like you were busy last night." he answered me.

"My hair always looks like this. You never assume normally that I have been having sex." I told him

"I know im sorry I jumped to conclusions." He told me as he continued to drink his coffee.

"Do you think it is too soon if me and Bella sleep together?" I blurted out before I could stop myself. Jasper didn't look to confused with my question though.

"Normally I would say yes, but I know how Bella feels about you and I know how you feel about her. But don't do it if your not going to be committed to each other." He told me honestly.

"She told me that she loved me last night. does that sound committed to you?" I asked as I picked up my coffee again.

"Do you love her?" he asked me.

Nodded my head and answered honestly.

"Yeah I do" I said smiling.

"Then what the hell you asking me for. You love her she loves you. it is obvious now that Bella is moving away from what happened 5 weeks ago. I don't think she needs my help anymore and im pretty sure Emmett has done everything he can for her and you seen pretty capable of taking car of her." he smiled at me.

"Oh by the way, im taking a big step this weekend. Im taking Alice home with me so that she can meet my mom so that means that Bella is going to be on her own in this house and I think you'll want to keep her company." He grinned at me.

"Have you asked Alice yet?" I asked.

"No im going to do it later. I'm pretty sure she will say yes though." He answered.

I heard people moving upstairs and decided that I should get on with what I came down here to do. Make Bella some coffee. Once I was done I walked back upstairs to Bella's room. She was still lying there so I put the coffee on her night stands and walked over to the other side of the bed before lying down. I out my coffee down and leaned over so that I could wake her up. I stroked her hair and kissed her neck trying to wake her.

"Bella, love. Come on wake up." He whispered in her ear before I kissed her jaw.

She rolled over and smiled at me. god I loved this women!
