I led Bella into the house. She was looking really pale. I wrapped an arm around her and she leaned against me heavily.
"Bella, are you alright love?" I murmured in her ear worriedly. She nodded and gave a small smile.
"Guess what Eddie?" Emmett laughed as I growled at the use of that name.
"That is not my name!" I snapped. "What is it Emmett?" He was smiling.
"You owe Bella one hundred dollars" he stated smugly.
"Ok...but why" I grabbed my wallet out of my back pocket.
"Because you touched the Volvo when you weren't supposed to!" He was bouncing up and down. I shrugged and pulled out the money handing it to a hesitant Bella.
"Why one hundred Emmett?" She asked softly. She seemed really tired all of the sudden.
"Well, I figured it was a ten minute drive there and ten minutes back so times five by twenty and you get one hundred...simple" Bella was still hesitant about taking the money so I opened her hand and placed it inside, closing her fingers around it.
"A bet's a bet love and I broke the rules" I confirmed. She nodded slowly and shoved the bill in her pocket.
"Edward I'm not feeling..." Bella murmured as Alice sang out in her mind
"Bella's about to pass out Edward in three, two, one...catch" I wrapped Bella up in my arms and cradled her to my chest as she lost consciousness.
"What's wrong with the human?" Emmett asked poking Bella's arm. I growled viscously and he took a step back. Finally, someone takes me seriously.
"Don't touch her" I spat out each word slowly with menace.
"Edward, what's wrong now?" Carlisle stood in front of me waiting patiently.
"He forgot to feed Bella" Alice sang out. "She'll be fine as long as you feed her when she wakes up. Oh and Carlisle if you put a drip in she freaks out and tears a vein...so just let her sleep it off" Alice danced around the room happily as if my Bella wasn't just laying there unconscious.
"How long till she wakes up?" I muttered looking down at the peaceful angel in my arms. Some colour had already started coming back into her cheeks.
"Thirty two minutes and forty five seconds" Alice answered lightly.

My mind feels fuzzy. Why is everything dark? Oh, my eyes are closed...they feel so heavy. Hmm sleep feels nice...so does the arms around me...mmm Edward...Edward! I slowly opened my heavy eye lids and met his bright topaz eyes. He looked sad and anxious.
"Welcome back love" He whispered kissing my neck briefly before capturing my lips. "How are you feeling?" He ran his nose along my jaw slowly. Gradually my mind clicked into gear...I had fainted. I felt the blush creep into my cheeks...my body is such a traitor.
"Sorry" I mumbled closing my eyes briefly again in embarrassment.
"Bella!" Edward called out in alarm. I opened my eyes quickly.
"Sorry, I'm fine really, just tired" He visibly relaxed and pulled me closer into his embrace. We were on the bed in his room.
"Are you ready to eat love?" Edward asked after a few minutes of comfortable silence.
"Sure, I could eat...what time is it by the way?" I looked out the windows...I would guess the sun was setting by the amount of light outside but it was so cloudy there was no sun visible.
"It's four in the afternoon, if you sit up I'll give you your food" I sat up as he jumped out of bed.
"As long as Emmett didn't make it" I muttered. Edward laughed.
"Hey! That's not nice Bella" Emmett called from downstairs. My lips pulled into a smile as Edward placed a tray of food in my lap. There were scrambled eggs, toast, a piece of steak and some steamed vegetables. On the side of the tray there was a glass of milk. Edward stood there watching me tentatively.
"Did you make this Edward?" I wondered. He nodded slowly and I felt my smile growing bigger.
"Thank you it looks wonderful!" I picked up my fork and stabbed a piece of broccoli.
"Do you want me to leave Bella?" I dropped my fork with a loud clatter.
"What, Why?" I asked sorrowfully, panicking, suddenly assaulted with all the memories of when Edward had left. Instantly I was in Edward's arms, the tray set aside.
"Not like that love, not like that" He whispered kissing my hair and holding me tightly. It hurt my ribs a little but I just wanted to be close to him so I ignored the pain. He relaxed slightly kissing my forehead, then my lips then my neck. "I meant did you want me leave you alone while you eat...I know you don't like it when we watch you" He confessed quietly.
"Please Edward, stay, I don't mind if it's just you...Alice or Emmett on the other hand" I shuddered as I remembered them mimicking every single movement I made once while trying to eat spaghetti. Edward kissed my head then pulled away slightly placing the tray back in my lap.
"Then please eat Bella, I don't want you passing out again" Edward pushed the fork into my hand. I took a bite and swallowed, a moan escaping my lips. It tasted so good...maybe it was just because I hadn't eaten all day but it still tasted fantastic. Edward leaned back and started playing with a strand of my hair.
"I'm glad you like it" He whispered kissing my neck lightly. I continued eating until I had finished off everything. I sighed, content and full. Edward flashed out of the room with the tray and was back in seconds.
"Thank you Edward that was fantastic, just what I needed" I laid back down as I began to feel tired again.
"Did you not sleep while I was gone either?" He demanded playfully. Suddenly I felt guilty...it wasn't that I didn't sleep... "Bella" Edward growled at me.
"Sorry, I just have trouble getting to sleep when you aren't here" I breathed almost inaudibly. His arms wrapped around me and he kissed my neck.
"It ok love, I'm not angry, sorry I growled at you" He apologized remorsefully. I snuggled closer to him. "You should take a shower and change into pyjamas you'll be uncomfortable sleeping in your jeans." He continued in a calmer tone. I sighed and crawled off the bed wincing as I stood. Man I was going to be really stiff and sore tomorrow. My back and ribs were throbbing. Edward was instantly at my side, arms wrapped around me gently.
"What's wrong Bella?" He asked searching my eyes carefully.
"She's not going to tell you Edward because it will upset you" Alice chirped from the doorway, I broke my eyes away from Edward's and looked at Alice.
"Bella please tell me, I won't get upset I promise" I shook my head slowly.
"That's a promise you can't keep Edward" I professed.
"Well by not telling me you're making me more and more anxious that it's something terrible" Edward coaxed. I would have to tell him...later.
"Let me take a shower first" I batted my eyelashes at him and his eyes glazed over before he nodded. Wow that worked! I dazzled Edward, I dazzled Edward, this calls for a happy dance! I looked up and noticed Edward and Alice staring at me with amusement. I blushed and turned and walked into the bathroom slamming the door. The door instantly opened and Alice appeared in front of me.
"You're going to need my help" She frowned as she stared at my ribs. I shrugged but instantly regretted it. Damn, fighting Lauren had damaged my bruises. Ha ha my bruises have bruises...ha ha ha.
"Bella why are you laughing?" Alice wondered at me. I shook my head and stopped laughing.
"Never mind, it wasn't really funny" I moved to pull off my top but grimaced. Hmm this was going to be harder than I thought. Alice stepped forward and pulled off my top quickly. She sucked in breath.
"Oh Bella...you should really get Carlisle to take a look at that" Alice murmured and then poked my ribs. The tears welled up.
"Alice why'd you have to do that it really hurts!" I yelled at her. Suddenly her face went blank and then she tried to pounce on the door but Edward was already inside.
"Aggh!" Edward screamed like a girl and covered up his eyes. "Bella where is your shirt...and why does your bra have a cheetah print on it?" Edward turned his back on me. Well that wasn't exactly the reaction I expected from a grown man.
"Well Edward, first off I'm your fiancé you're allowed to see me in my bra, second you've seen me in a bikini which is less than what I'm wearing now, third what do you expect when you come into the bathroom when I'm about to take a shower. Why are you in here anyway?" I enquired, feeling a small blush in my cheeks.
"Oh...you're right" He turned around and growled and was instantly at my side, his hands on my ribs and back. Oops, this is what I was trying to keep from him; he's going to be mad now. "This is why I came in here...you're hurt Bella" He sounded so full of anguish. "I'm going to kill Rosalie and then I'm off to find Lauren" He growled I grabbed his arm before he raced out of the room. He paused and tried to pull my fingers off gently. It wasn't going to work, I was holding on with all my might.
"Edward" I murmured "Edward look at me" I insisted. His now onyx eyes stared at my eyes. I turned him to face me and grabbed both his hands. "Edward I love you" I whispered kissing along his jaw and down his neck. "Please Edward don't" I breathed softly in his ear to which he shuddered in response. "It's not Roses fault, it's not Lauren's fault and it is certainly not your fault. If anyone's to blame then really it's my fault. I aggravated both Rose and Lauren" I persisted steadily. Before kissing his lips softly and pulling back. His eyes were almost back to his normal colour. "Do you love me Edward?" I whispered. He moved his arms around my waist and pulled me to his chest.
"I love you Bella, I'm sorry I shouldn't have lost my temper" He declared quietly.
"Edward its fine...I'm not really that badly injured...just bruised that's it. It looks much worse than it feels trust me" I maintained. He pulled back from me and stared at my body before gazing back into my eyes. His eyes finally light topaz again. I exhaled a sigh of relief that I had managed to calm him down again.
"Can Carlisle please take a look?" He begged. I nodded and smiled.
"Of course, but I would really like to take a shower first" He chuckled and kissed me.
"Cheetah print?...really Bella" He mumbled slowly walking out of the bathroom.
"Well there weren't any in Mountain Lion print so you'll just have to deal" I stated smiling at him sheepishly. He chuckled and closed the door behind him. Alice was staring at me with an open mouth. "What?" I blushed and crossed my arms across my chest.
"How did you do that?" She demanded suddenly.
'What did I do?" I asked, slightly panicked.
"I saw the future...it was pretty definite...how did you stop him?" Her voice was filled with awe.
"Edward?" I clarified. She nodded violently. "He just needed to calm down" I spoke slowly. She cocked her head at me.
"Nope, that's not it. I saw him tearing Rose up and burying Lauren alive. Not even Jasper can calm him down when he's that mad. How? What did you say to him?" Alice was commanding me to answer.
"You couldn't hear what I was saying?" I was bewildered.
"You were speaking too quietly!" She shrieked, clearly frustrated. I didn't think I was that quiet. Poor Alice...I couldn't help but laugh.
"Magicians never reveal their tricks" I laughed. She scowled at me.
"You're going to regret this Isabella, I see a lot of shopping in your future" She threatened angrily.
"Well I see a weekend in Vegas and a minister dressed as Elvis Presley" I retorted quickly. Her eyes turned black. Crap... Suddenly Jasper was in the room with his arms around Alice and I was feeling supremely calm.
"Alice leave Bella alone" Jasper stated. Alice nodded her head and let Jasper lead her out. I shut and locked the door quickly...not that it would help if any of them wanted to enter, but at least I could pretend I was safe. I peeled off the rest of my clothes and jumped in the nice hot shower.

How did she calm him down so easily? No! She didn't just calm him down; she turned him from deadly predator to happy-go-skip-in-a-field-of-daisies Edward. I mean come on! And it's killing me not knowing what she said to calm him down! Who'd a thought she could talk that quiet! Jasper led me downstairs to where Emmett and Rose were sitting.
"What's been going on up there?" Emmett asked looking amused.
"Rose you're lucky you're still alive" I whispered fiercely so Edward wouldn't hear us.
"What do you mean?" She asked in a normal tone. Blondes! I held my finger to my lip and she rolled her eyes.
"I mean I just saw you die...again" I continued in my hushed voice. Rose instantly went pale. "Weren't you guys listening to what Edward was saying?" I asked shocked that they weren't eavesdropping for once. Rose regained colour and Emmett de-tensed.
"Oh it's just Edward" Rose exhaled.
"Yeah well I saw him tear you to pieces and set you on fire! So don't believe he isn't threatening!" Emmett started to look mad, like he was about to dash up the stairs and beat the crap out of Edward. "But! Bella saved your life" Rose and Emmett both snorted. God this was frustrating!
"Calm down love" Jasper murmured in my ear, hugging me back to his chest. "I've never felt Edward that mad...except when James...and Victoria..." Jasper announced to Rose and Emmett. "But he had every right to be Rose! If you hurt Alice that much I would kill you, without a doubt" Jasper was suddenly angry and whisper shouting at Rose. "How dare you hurt Bella like that!" He scolded. "She's human Rose that means she can die! Just because you have an aversion to her doesn't mean we all don't love her!" Jasper was trying to keep his voice quiet but failing. I placed a hand on his cheek and he took a deep breath. "Don't you ever hurt her like that again" Jasper threatened before disappearing. I sighed, he needed to go calm down for a while. I didn't realise he felt so strongly about Bella, I mean I knew he loved her like a sister but he just threatened Rose!
"As I was saying, Bella just saved your life! So you better be darn grateful" I turned to leave but Rose stopped me.
"You keep saying that but what do you mean?" Emmett asked quietly, humbled I think.
"I mean that girl can work miracles...I don't know how she did it but she calmed Edward down" I shook my head over the conundrum again. "I'd still be careful around him if I were you" I uttered before stalking off after Jasper. And how dare Bella threaten to go to VEGAS!

I love Bella, Bella loves me...we'll be a happy vampire family! Suddenly Jasper sat down on my bed.
"Hey Jasper what's up?" I asked.
"Why are you so goddamn happy?!" He yelled at me. Ok...calm down Jasper.
"Because I have Bella" I shrugged and continued my little happy chant in my head tying not to be affected by his aggression. He took a deep breath and I could see my mood affecting him.
"How are you no longer mad at Rose?" He enquired carefully.
"I'm still furious" I murmured bleakly. Way to ruin my happy Bella mood Jasper. Abruptly the bathroom door opened and out walked Bella in nothing but a towel. Jasper and I blinked and exchanged glances.
"Edward have you seen my cloth...AGHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed and ran back into the bathroom slamming the door. I could hear her heart rate going 100 miles an hour. I started chuckling as did Jasper.
"You two shut up!" Alice stalked over to my closet yanking open the door. "Where are Bella's clothes Edward?" Alice demanded.
"I don't know Alice, you usually know" I jumped up and inspected my wardrobe...nothing.
"The one time I have nothing for her to wear and she needs something!" Alice let out a little scream. Before sprinting out of the room and returning with a blue lacy bra and panties. She stormed back into my closet and pulled out one of my long shirts. Jasper and I watched as she walked over to the bathroom door and turned the knob...it was locked. I couldn't help but chuckle.
"Bella open this door!" Alice yelled.
"No way Alice! You're in a bad mood and I've been through enough today!" Bella yelled back. Alice let out another scream. Wow, I've never seen Alice so mad at Bella...and Bella not caving. This is entertaining.
"Edward twenty bucks Bella caves before Alice asks you for help!" Jasper thought. I shook his hand and we sat down and watched the show.
"Bella you know I can just break down this door!" Alice shouted.
"Of course you can but Edward won't let you" Bella laughed...she actually taunted Alice.
"Is this because I threatened to take you shopping Bella?" Alice asked in a calmer voice.
"Yes...and because you sound ready to kill me" Bella muttered the last part. I chuckled again.
"Ugh! Fine, Edward get Bella dressed. Jazz lets go" I laughed as Jasper handed me a twenty and trudged out of my room.
Wow so that was a really long chapter...meh...tell me all your thoughts!!
