Dis to the claima yo: Steph to the Meyer owns the characters from my story dog.

I got over 20 reviews last chapter! You guys rock. I love you all. Anyways…

Bottoms up…

BELLA POV

I am not going to let this get to me. I am not going to let this get to me. I repeated in my head. Why was Mike here? I thought Edward had gotten rid of him.

"Mike I think we should step outside" I whimpered.

"Why so your boyfriend doesn't see you with another man?" He growled, causing me to flinch back which was hard because we were surrounded by people.

"Mike please" I begged

His eyes narrowed "Fine"

He grabbed my wrist forcefully and pulled me out into the dimly lit parking lot.

"Why are you here?" I whispered.

"What do you mean 'why am I here'? I am here for you to say sorry to me" He stated.

I gasped "Mike you cheated on me and you want me to apologize?" I said, unable to repress my shock.

"Of course Bella, I deserve to have you grovel. You want me back and you know it. You drove me to cheat on you. It's your entire fault that it ended like that. Now that you left me for that playboy, who is probably cheating on you this instant, you should beg for my forgiveness. I had no choice; you forced me to cheat on you".

Who was he kidding? HE did this, not ME. I didn't make him do anything yet he wanted me to take the blame. I wouldn't let him convince me into to doing that again. I am not going to take the blame this time. No more, I said to myself, no more.

I was already balling my hand into a fist when I saw Mike lunge forward. Well technically he did not lunge. It was more like somebody crashed into him, making him fall over.

EDWARD POV

I was trying to push people out of my way when I saw Mike grab Bella and pull her outside. I was suddenly grateful for my tall build and silently thanked the lord for my 6' 2" height.

I pushed my way through the crowd, not caring about the people I was moving out of the way. I didn't mean it to be mean but I needed to get to Bella. Pronto.

I was finally able to push myself through the door when I saw Mike and Bella talking. The troll looked smug, angry and stubborn while Bella looked shocked, mad and beautiful.

The troll's face and stature told me that he was going to be adamant in the conversation so I took initiative. I followed my instincts.

I ran full speed onto the troll. I jumped onto his back; the surprise force pushed him down on to the sidewalk.

I was now on top of him, pinning him to the ground.

I leaned down to growl in his ear "Stay away from her".

Still being the dumb guy that he is he tried to be snide "Would if I don't?".

"Well, then there is a storm coming" I answered simply "You'll need much more than a rain jacket".

Suddenly, I heard Emmett's voice behind me "Dude, don't mess with the storm. We have lightning and thunder here" he said while waving his fist around.

I smiled, a little.

"We told you to leave. We told you to never come back. Now you will follow what we said." I stated angrily.

I got off of him.

He instantly scrambled away from the ground.

Emmett yelled after him "Or else!"

I ran to Bella's side and put my arms around her. "Are you okay my Bella?"

She wrapped her arms around me and said "Thank you"

"You didn't answer my question" I observed.

She sighed and said "Edward I am fine. My boyfriend just saved me from a crazy ex-boyfriend. He has defended my honor for the second time this week. You are my knight in shining armor".

I pulled back and searched her eyes for fear, anger, or distrust. I still held her at arms length, keeping her close.

When I didn't see any emotion that should never be placed on her angelic face, I embraced her again. Placing little quick kisses on her face and neck, I murmured across her skin, "I-am-so-glad-you are-okay".

"Let's just go home" she said, rolling her eyes.

"We didn't do much dancing" Alice pouted.

"We could go hang out at the cabin" Bella suggested.

Alice clapped her hands together "Yay!"

We drove back rocking out to some Linkin Park CD that Emmett brought with him.

As soon as we got home we plopped down onto the couches, not even bothering to change.

"Charades" Alice squealed.

"Ugh" Bella sighed.

"I already have charade cards made out because I totally knew we would play this game!" Alice squealed again. "I'll go get them from my bag" she ran upstairs.

She came back down with a hat and everything already ready to go.

"So…girls against boys?" Rosalie suggested.

"Sure" Emmett said back, exchanging a smile.

Bella snuggled into my side. "Edward, I don't want to play charades"

"Lets go for a walk" I suggested.

She nodded in agreement.

We walked into the fresh air of the moonlight. I sighed at the scent and pure air that filled my senses.

BELLA POV

We didn't really say anything. We just walked down a path, our fingers entwined and swinging. Edward would occasionally bring me towards him and kiss me on the cheek, forehead, or neck.

I think that I love him, but before I say anything, I have to be sure. Thinking it is not enough. I have to know it.

Short chapter, I know but I just had to reward my readers for the 20 reviews I got from only this morning. You make me so happy, I could burst. I love all my reader and reviewers (my reviewers even more so). The map as always could be seen below.
