Chapter 10

Safe in my arms:

BPOV

"Hey swan" I turned around, "excuse me?" I asked it was peter; does he ever get a break? "What can I help you with?" I asked he chuckled.

"I want you to tell me, what does a guy like me needs to do to take a girl like you out?" he flashed me a smile. How cliché I thought, again really doesn't he gets tired of my negative answers?

"How many times do I have to tell you peter, no I won't go out with you" I replied for the millionth time.

Peter has been asking me out since the second week of college and all the times I've refused, and told him no, is not that I didn't want to go out with him…Is just that I got this weird vibe coming from him, like if he was trouble.

I don't actually know because I haven't given him the chance to prove himself, was I being a prude?

I also didn't give him the chance because of Edward; I couldn't get him out of my mind. I wondered what was wrong with him. I thought about him half of the time.

I still thought of the Halloween party, the chemistry between us was overwhelming; there was a moment during the night that I wanted to kiss him…

Peter was still there staring at me, "um peter really, if you don't need anything I'm going to ask you to leave the front desk, I'm busy" I told him, he raised his eyebrows.

"Really Isabella, that's going to be your answer," He stated I nodded.

"Okay then, I guess I'll be back tomorrow" he said leaving, I sighed.

I was confused, I didn't know why I was rude with him, and maybe his intentions were good…?

The next day

EPOV

My alarm buzzed, I groaned at the sound, my head hurt, I opened my eyes. My throat hurt and it was dry, I also noticed that I was sweating, I touched my forehead and it was hot; I was still sleepy I fell back into the pillows and sleep claimed me again…

"Edward wake up" I could hear Alice calling me, I groaned again. "I don't feel good" I replied, I felt her touch me and her hands were cold I sighed, the cold felt good.

"You have a fever, I'll go get mom" she said, a second later mom was at my side, "oh my dear boy, it seems that you have a cold. Don't worry mom will make you feel better." She said

She sat me up and removed my shirt, "Mary call the doctor please while I get Edward in the shower"

I wasn't feeling good at all, I needed moms help to go in the shower, she sat me on the bench and turned the cold water on, I started shivering.

"Shh, is okay mommy's here don't worry" she cooed me.

She washed me quickly and dried me; she dressed me on a clean set of pajamas. Alice said that the doctor was on his way, mom went to change her clothes since they were wet, "Edward I have to go to college, I have a test and an oral report" she told me concerned.

"Is okay Alice, I'll be fine, is just a cold" I told her hoarsely.

I needed my English lit work and the rest of the classes too, I could feel that I was going to stay home for the rest of the week because mom and my doctor were panicked like that…I told Alice to get my professors office hours so she could get any paperwork, and to tell Bella to collect everything from English lit. And tell prof. Hale that I was sick. She agreed and left before mom came back.

Dr Gerandy my general doctor saw me, he said that I had a severe cold and a throat infection, he gave mom the prescription for my medicines he also told her to check my temperature every hour and give me lots of liquids.

He instructed that I couldn't go to school until Monday…great!

He said that the headache I had didn't affect my eyes at all. After that mom paid him and led him out, after a while she came to my room with a warm plate of oatmeal done my favorite way with milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon. A cup of tea, my medicines, and fresh orange juice with aloe and honey, it was a natural expectorant. I went to sleep again when I was done…

BPOV

Edward has been sick all week, I agreed to get his lit class assignments and deliver them personally, yeah I know crazy after the way his mom treated me…I was going there tomorrow. Peter has been bothering me all week, he was behind me at the cafeteria and paid for my soda on Wednesday, he had also bought me flowers…

I've been worried about Edward; I decided to call him to see how he was. He wasn't hoarse anymore; he told me that he was getting better. I was glad, I confirmed that I was going to his house tomorrow to give him what professor Hale sent him. I let him go and went to bed myself…

After dinner went to my room and took the folders with Edward's work, my purse, and car keys, I stuffed the folders in my bag and went out. I got in my car but when I turned the key, the engine didn't want to turn on, I turned the keys five more times and nothing, and this was great! Mom's car was at the mechanic and Phil was at an activity from the school her worked at.

I decided to walk; it wasn't that far from my house. I put on my jacket and started walking, everything was fine until half of the way, I was just a few blocks from Edward's house, the night got darker and drops of rain started falling. I pulled the hoodie over my head and kept walking, ten minutes later or so a car passed beside me, it went ahead but then it slowed and backed up…it was a guy, he rolled down the window and I saw who it was…peter.

"Is that you Swan?" he asked, I kept walking; he followed on the car and made me stop, "please Swan, don't be such a prude! It's just a ride, I don't bite…" he chuckled, I deliberated, it started to rain a little heavier…perfect! I couldn't risk getting a cold, I had a test on Monday, and I weighted my options. My brain started yelling at me, telling me that this was a bad idea, telling me not to get in the car. I went against it and I got in the biggest mistake ever, but of course I didn't know that yet…

Inside the car it was warm, peter had music playing from his iPod. I strapped in and pulled my bag to my chest, both hands around it, after a few minutes peter decided to start a conversation. "So, you never told me if you liked the flowers or not, even though I left you my number in the card. Why didn't you called?" he asked, I was started to regret this. "I was busy studying" I replied he laughed, "you're never going to change Swan" he said, I looked at him, "what you mean?"

"You seriously don't remember me?"Peter asked I frowned "am I supposed to?" I inquired. "Swan, we have been on the same school since first grade" he said I looked at him again and thought…"crap! You're McAllister, you used to pull my hair and copy me on math!" I exclaimed I couldn't believe I didn't recognize my tormentor; he used to bully me all the time. He and Jasper had a few fights because of that.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked "I thought you would figure it out Swan, you're a smart girl, and I correct a very pretty smart girl" he said as he stopped the car. We weren't near Edward's street yet; he unbuckled his seatbelt and moved closer to me. I had a bad feeling about this, "you're so pretty Bella, you always were" he said placing his hand on my thigh, "um I think I'm going to keep walking now. It's not far"

I said grabbing the handle of the door, I needed to get out, and peter saw my movement.

"NO! You're not going anywhere, not until I'm done with you!" he moved his hand higher and grabbed my waist, he leaned in and tried to kiss me, I pushed him off. He laughed, "See this is what I like about you…you're so feisty, is so hot and sexy. You don't know how much you turn me on Swan" peter said Please let me go" I whimpered.

"Later" he said leaning in again, he kissed me forcefully; he threw my bag on the floor some of the content spilling out. Tears started falling, maybe if I let him kiss and grope me, he'll leave me alone for good. He then unbuckled my seatbelt and brought me closer to him, his hands were on my waist, I heard him lower his zipper, and I froze. I needed to get out; he was going to rape me. After that he went for the buttons of my shirt.

I fought him off but he was stronger, "come on Bella I know you want this" he said; "no, I don't fuck off asshole!" I said with a kick, that angered him, he raised his hand and slapped me. he cut my lip, he pushed the seat back, on the floor I saw it, my can of pepper spray I grabbed it while he wasn't looking and faked to be knocked down, he was on top of me he unbuttoned my shirt further and started kissing my neck and collarbone, I peeked open my eyes and his were closed, I decided to make my move I sprayed him, he yelled "bitch!" he covered his eyes and rubbed them.

I grabbed the door handle and opened the door; I managed to take half of my body out of the car. Peter recovered and grabbed my feet; I started kicking and yelling for help. "You're going to pay for that Swan!" he told me, "no bitch attacks me and gets away with it" he said.

I just kept fighting him off and begging for someone to help me, as I sprayed him some more.

APOV

Jasper was driving me home after we had gone for some dessert; he had picked me up after dinner. Two streets near my house, just before the entrance of the private mansions complex, there was a car parked at the side of the road, we passed by it.

Jasper then looked through the rearview mirror and hit the brakes, "what's wrong?" I asked "there's a girl on the street…fuck!" he said with a gasp, "what!" I exclaimed jasper had never sworn in front of me before.

"You're not going to believe this…we have to help the girl" jasper said unbuckling and opening the door, I was confused.

"Why?" I asked

"It's Bella" and that's all he had to say, "Stay here, I don't want Mrs. Masen to kill me" he told me.

Jasper's POV

Bella had told me that some guy was bothering her, I even caught him following her sometimes, it was peter McAllister he had gone to school with us, I don't remember how many times I've kicked his ass because of that. I recognized the car; I was going to keep going my way until I saw Bella. He was hurting her; I opened the driver's side and pulled him by the shirt, "get your filthy hands off her!" I took him out of the car; Bella fell off the seat into the ground.

I punched peter a few times. "don't you dare to move or I'll punch the life out of you" I went to the other side and cradled Bella to my chest, "jasper" she whispered, "shh is okay, I got you" I carried her back to my car and left her with Alice.

You didn't need to be a genius to know that he had tried to rape her. I called the cops, they said they'll come, I waited by peters car. Alice was looking out for Bella, the cops took peter on custody, I took Bella's bag and stuff from his car and went to mine, the other cop was tending Bella and trying to make her give her statement.

"Officer, why don't you give Miss Swan a break, I'll make sure she goes to the station tomorrow and answer all of your questions. I promise" I said to him, he nodded.

I went to Alice's house, I carried Bella, and in that moment Esme came down the stairs and saw us. She was going to scold Alice for letting me in without her permission, and then she saw Bella "what is she doing here? And why is he carrying her?" Alice informed her of what happened and Esme miracrously let Bella stay.

She didn't want to go home and asked Alice to make up something to say to her mom, I took her upstairs to Alice's room I said my goodbyes and left. Alice assured me that Bella was going to be fine with them…

APOV

Jasper left, I went to Edwards's room and explained what happened to Bella. I couldn't believe that he blamed himself, "I want to speak to her Alice, please" I nodded and went back to my room, I gave Bella some of Edwards old clothes and took pictures of her injuries, she had a bruise on her waist and ankles, and her cheek was a little swollen.

Then I led her to Edwards room, "just come back here when you're ready to sleep" I told her.

EPOV

I couldn't believe what Alice told me, Bella had been assaulted on her way here, and all because I was sick and asked her to bring me the paperwork from literature class.

I needed to speak to her; I needed to know that she was okay.

"Edward" Bella said I patted the space beside me on the bed. She sat and hugged me, I froze but recovered quickly.

"I was so scared Edward, he tried to rape me" she said in a whimper.

"Shh is okay Bella. No one can hurt you now Bella, you're safe" I said as she clung to me, I held her tight.

"I'm never going to let you go Bella, you're too important to me" I told her.

"Thanks Edward, you're a great guy," she said then kissed my cheek.

"You're pretty great too" I told her, Bella cried for a little while I rubbed her back and dried her tears. She finally fell asleep, I laid her gently to the bed, she grabbed my shirt, "don't go" she whimpered.

"Shh Bella, is okay" I cooed and lay beside her.

She had a fitful sleep because she had nightmares and mumbled in her sleep.

"Protect me Edward" she whispered cuddling closer to me.

"I will Bella, I promise that from now on you will be safe, safe in my arms."
