I just wanted to remind everyone that this is in Edward POV. I can't believe I only got two reviews for the last chapter. I know it was much shorter than anything I have written lately. I'm sorry if it was crappy. I'm trying to do better, but I feel like I can't get in Edward's head right now. So get ready for another craptastic chapter.

Chapter 10: A Love Torn

I dropped Bella at her house and raced to return the Volvo home.

I told Bella not to worry about Dillon. I told her everything will be ok.

I hadn't realized that this would affect Dillon and me. I was so wrapped up on Bella and the danger she is in.

What would this mean for us? I knew for her own safety I would have to push her away. Bella won't let us push her away. I can't have Dillon hurt for a crime Alice committed.

I fell like my dead heart could just rip out my chest as I parked the Volvo and ran to Bella's house.

I usually can clear my head when I run. I couldn't get this out my head. How can I hurt her? Even though I know it is for her own good.

Now I'm torn between letting this be a soft break up until the Volturi get here or just having a clean break. I know if I do it slowly I risk her life. What if the Volturi do send a messenger? Isn't that the reason I am here running around Bella's house?

Bella had her window open. I jumped up to see how she was.

"Hi." was all I could say as I climbed into her window.

She looked up at me, "Hi."

I could see it all over her face, she was terrified. After getting use to not being able to read her thoughts I have become very attuned to her emotions as they come to her eyes.

I stepped into her room. She just watched me from her bed. "Bella you have no reason to be scared. I am here and I won't let anything happen to you."

"I know" was all she said.

There was something else in her eyes. It was remorse. What could she be remorseful for?

"That's not what is bothering you is it?" I asked.

"I swear sometimes you can read my mind"

I moved over and sat on her bed with her. Charlie was downstairs watching the game. I knew he wouldn't hear us.

"What is it then?" I pushed.

She sighed. "It's just I don't want your family to fight." She looked down and started to fidget with her pant leg. "I can't imagine Esme, always so sweet and loving, fighting. I'm supposed to be Alice's best friend. She is so small. How can she ever win a battle?"

I laughed mentally. She has obviously not seen Alice and Emmett go at it. Emmett may be big, but Alice has mad skills.

"Alice should be the last of your worries. She can hold her own. I have witnessed it first hand. Esme is a lot stronger than you give her credit for. She doesn't like violence, but she will fight tooth and nail for her family." I said trying to calm her.

Bella looked really tired. I guess the day has taken a toll on her.

"Lie down and don't worry about anything. Get a good night's worth of sleep and we will talk more in the morning." I said as I snuck back out her window.

I wanted to give her space to breath.

My thoughts went straight back to my princess, I still don't know how I can just give her up. I'm so torn between her and this situation.

I always feel bad about Dillon. I have such tremendous feelings for her, but I know they don't hold a candle to how I feel with Bella. I already knew I couldn't survive without Bella. I have a feeling I could live without Dillon.

I know it is not right to be thinking about any of this. I feel like I can be myself around Dillon. She knows so much about me, besides my family's secret. I have been thinking about telling her and now I'm glad I didn't.

I decided it was time to go back and check on Bella. She was fast a sleep. She was sleep talking.

"Alice…stop…no…more…shoes" she mumbled.

I laughed. My sister could really be over bearing. It must be really bad if Bella is dreaming about it.

I could here Charlie snoring. He was dreaming that the city of Forks was holding a parade in his honor. I didn't need Jasper's power to know he was extremely happy about his dream state. He was riding in a 1967 red Cadillac El Dorado. The top is down and he proudly has Bella on his side. I bet Alice could arrange something like that for him.

Just then my cell phone vibrated. It was a text message from Alice:

Edward that would be so awesome! I think it would be hard to get Bella to go along with it, but I can probably get her to do it.

I laughed again. My sister is so crazy.

Bella started to stir. I began to think I woke her up, but she didn't move again.

Just as I was about to text Alice back, Bella started to talk again.

"Edward…I love you."
