Bella's Point of View:
My head was beating like a drum and my body ached so much, it felt as though I had the flu. My eyes fluttered open and to my surprise I was laying down in the grass. I slowly sat up and realized I was lying across the meadow, the spot where Edward and I loved to spend time together in each others' arms. It was our place. Our place to share the love we felt for one another. I looked up to my right and saw the most beautiful figure in the world sparkling in the sunlight. It was Edward. My true love. He walked closer to me and then when he was finally within arm's reach of me, he kneeled down on the grass and touched my cheek with his strong hand. It felt so good to be touched by him. Then he placed his index finger under my chin and kissed me with his soft lips. Mmm his lips felt so good on mine. I wanted him to kiss me more. I wanted to lay there forever kissing him in our meadow but suddenly I began to hear voices. I looked away from Edward so I could focus on the sounds.
"Is Bella going to be alright?" I recognized the voice belonged to Jasper
"Yes I saw in my vision that she is going to be just fine." Alice answered.
Why was I hearing Jasper and Alice? All of a sudden I looked back at Edward but he was not there. Where did he go?
"Good I'm glad my sister is going to be okay." That was Emmett and his voice was getting louder.
Why could I hear their voices? Why were they so loud? I quickly closed my eyes and then they reopened. Instead of seeing the magnificent meadow all around me, I was face to face with Jasper, Emmett, Alice, Esme and Carlisle. I guess Rosalie hated me so much, she didn't want to see if I was alright or not. I looked around and noticed the wall of music to my left and the crystal clear windows to my right. I realized I was upstairs, in Edward's room. Since when did Edward have a bed in his room? I blinked and finally realized kissing Edward in the meadow was only a dream. I sighed. I tried to shift my body so I was sitting up instead of lying down but the movement caused pain to shoot through my back. I grimaced in pain.
"Wow there Bella, I am glad to see you're awake but you have to take it slow. When you fell your body hit the ground pretty hard and you may develop some bruising along your backside." Carlisle said as he touched my forehead and checked my pulse.
When I fell?
"Your vitals seem normal so I just recommend taking things nice and easy." Carlisle said as he continued to check my body for injuries.
"Oh Bella I am so glad you are okay! You were so brave standing up for yourself against Jacob, that mutt deserved it." Alice said walking up to me and giving me a huge hug.
Jacob? Why was I brave...All of a sudden I remembered going to visit Jake and him hitting me with a wrench on my face and cheek. Then I remembered watching Edward and Jake fight in front of the Cullen house. Edward looked so angry; I had never seen him so angry in my life. He seemed like a different person and he seemed as though he wanted to kill Jake. I frantically looked around the room realizing Jake or Edward was nowhere to be found. Did Edward really kill Jake? I hated Jake for what he did to me and I knew I did not want to see him ever again but I knew Edward held high morals and killing someone, even Jake would destroy his morality. I looked at Alice with a worried look on my face.
"Don't worry Bella, as soon as Edward saw you fall to the ground he let Jacob go. But don't worry you are safe, Jacob left and will never show up here again." Alice said reassuring my worried thoughts. But not all of my thoughts had vanished completely. I had suddenly remembered that I had told everyone the truth about my injuries. My heart started to beat out of my chest. Was everyone okay? Did anyone get hurt? Why were they talking to me when I had finally admitted that it was Jake who was responsible for my injuries? Were they mad that I lied? How could they look at me when everything was my fault? I was useless now. I was broken.
"Everyone is okay Bella; we all have been worried about you." Esme said answering my thoughts.
I looked at Esme and smiled, but then frowned.
"Bella what is wrong?" Esme asked.
"Aren't you guys mad at me for lying to you about Jake? Why are you guys still here with me? It was my entire fault, why are you helping me I brought this on myself." I answered as tears started to form in my eyes.
"Oh Bella we would never be mad at you for what you did, we all know how hard it was for you to deal with what happened to you. None of this is your fault Bella, it was all Jacob's. You will always be a part of this family Bella, and families stick together." Esme said as she hugged me while Alice took my hand in hers to reassure me.
"Bella don't be so silly, we all love you and know that mutt was the one responsible. We will always love you." Alice said.
"Yes Alice is right, we love you and if you were gone who else would Emmett joke around with?" Jasper asked as he laughed alongside Emmett.
I started to feel better, but one thing was missing. Where was Edward? Where was my Edward? He left me didn't he? He left because I was broken, I was disgusting and now he did not want me. Maybe the Cullen's still wanted me but it was obvious Edward didn't. But he promised me he would never leave me again. He promised!
"Where's Edward?" I yelled frantically looking at everyone.
I was expecting a quick response but I had a feeling no one knew where he was.
"Alice where is he? Did he leave?" I asked worriedly.
"Bella no, he told me he was just going out for a bit to unleash some steam, he needed to hunt after the incident with Jacob, I'm sure he will be back." Alice said rubbing my hand.
He wasn't coming back. He was gone. He left me again! No he promised! No I needed him in my life! I could not live without him, I loved him.
"EDWARD? EDWARD?" I yelled out again. My heart racing. I wanted Edward. I wanted him to come back. I wanted to go back to my dream I had earlier where Edward was with me, laying in our meadow. Now that he was gone, it would never be real; it would only be a dream.
"Bella don't worry I'm sure he will be back soon." Jasper suggested looking at me, trying to control my emotions. I felt my heart rate slowly return to normal but I was still worried.
All of a sudden I heard heavy footsteps climbing up the stairs and in two seconds there stood Edward standing in the doorway. There was my Edward, the most beautiful man in the world. His face was chiseled to perfection and his messy mane looked magical as each strain of hair danced around the air. My Edward was here? He was here!
"Bella love, what is the matter? Are you okay? I am so glad to see you are awake" Edward asked worriedly as he ran to my side and took my hand out of Alice's and placed it in his own.
My Edward was here. He was actually here. All of a sudden I felt tears started to form in my eyes and then I felt one tear start to fall along my cheek.
"Bella love, please tell me what is wrong." He asked wiping the tear away from my cheek. All of a sudden I saw him turn around to look at his family and then two seconds later, they all left Edward's room except for Carlisle.
"If you need anything just ask, you should take those pain pills which are on your night table in an hour." Carlisle said as he nodded at Edward.
"Thank you so much, I appreciate it, I don't know what I would do without you." I said as I examined my night table and saw there was Tylenol and a glass of water waiting for me.
As soon as everyone had left Edward's room, I reached out and wrapped my arms around his strong body. It felt so good to be in his arms. This was the safest place to be. I placed my head on his shoulder. I was so glad he was here. I did not want him to leave me. Not now, not ever!
"Love what is the matter? Are you in pain?" Edward asked pulling me away from him just so he could look into my eyes.
"No I'm okay really it's just…when I couldn't find you, I thought you had left me." I responded not wanting to hear his answer.
"Left you? Love why would you think that? I already told you I was never going to leave you again! Don't you trust me?" Edward asked his face wide with shock.
"I just thought you wouldn't want me anymore. I mean look at me I am broken and bruised. I look horrible! It was my entire fault, I led Jake on, I'm such a horrible person I deserve this. Why are you still here? Aren't you mad at me for not telling you the truth about what happened?" I asked.
Edward's face still held a shocked expression. Then he took my hands in his and looked into my eyes.
"Love I think you hit your head really hard when you fell because I will always want you, no matter what! You are my life Bella and I will always want you in my life. You are not broken you are beautiful and you will always remain beautiful in my eyes. You are the most beautiful creature in this world. You did not lead Jacob on, he knew you two just wanted to be friends, Love none of this is your fault, do not ever think that. I am not mad at you for not telling me the truth; I am just disappointed that you did not feel you could come talk to me. I want you to come talk to me about anything, because I want to know how I can always make you smile and be happy. Love you have stolen my heart and now it will always be yours, I love you so much." Edward explained.
Tears started to fall down my face again but this time they were happy tears. My Edward was not going to leave me. He loved me. Oh he loved me.
"So you think I'm beautiful even with a bruised cheek and a black eye?" I asked smiling softly.
"Of course love, you always look beautiful." Edward said wiping the tears away from my blushing cheeks.
"I love you so much. I'm sorry for not telling you about Jake, I just did not know how to deal with everything, and next time I promise I will tell you everything!" I explained.
"Do not worry about it love; I know how hard it must have been. I can't believe he would do that to you. I do not know how anyone could have hurt you; I hope you know I would never hurt you." Edward announced.
"I know Edward, I believe you… What did happen with Jake?" I asked curiously.
Suddenly I saw Edward frown and his forehead creased. Then he looked away from me.
"I was so mad at Jacob for hurting you. I was so mad at myself for not protecting you when I said I would. The thought of that mutt hurting you overwhelmed my mind and I wanted more than anything to kill him so he could never hurt you again." Then he looked at me.
"Then I thought of you and realized I could not kill anyone especially Jacob. I knew no matter how much you hated him, it would not be right for me to kill him. See Bella that is why I love you, you make me feel human even though I am not."
Edward said as he rubbed his thumb against my cheek.
"I love you so much Edward and I am so proud of you that you stopped yourself from killing Jake. Thank you for protecting me. Please don't ever leave me again." I said smiling at Edward. I was so happy Edward was by my side and Jake was gone. I finally felt protected and safe. I don't know why I had ever doubted my love for Edward, because I knew right at that moment, that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him and no one else.
"I will as long as you say you are the most beautiful women in the world." Edward responded as he smirked.
"Nooo Edward, never!" I said as I laughed. I still did not know why he thought I was so beautiful.
"Then I will just leave right now." Edward said as he started to get up from the bed.
"No you won't." I said smiling again.
"Okay you are right, but you are so beautiful. I hope you will realize that one day" Edward said as he sat back down as I started to blush.
"You look especially beautiful when you blush like that Bella." He said in his dark, sexy voice.
Then I looked down at the bed. Why did Edward have a bed in his room, I thought vampires did not sleep?
"Edward since when have you had this bed?" I asked looking at the bed.
"I bought it awhile ago because I wanted something for you to sleep on when you came over. Do you like it?" Edward explained.
"Yes I do but…you bought this so I could come over? To sleep on? With you?" I asked shocked to hear that he wanted me to come over and sleep in this bed with him. He was never intimate with me especially in a bed. I always dreamed he would be close with me and now he was thinking of finally being with me.
"Yes Bella, I thought we could try to be a little more intimate but only when you are feeling a little better," Edward said in his husky tone.
What? Edward finally wanted to be closer? This was a dream come true.
"I am feeling better." I said smiling trying to ignore the pain in my back.
Edward smiled too as he leaned closer to me and kissed me on my soft lips. His lips tasted so sweet. I was bracing myself for disappointment when he would start to pull away. But he didn't. He started to kiss me again and again, his lips felt so good on mine. Then I felt his sweet lips move down my jaw line to my neck. I felt as though I was on heaven as I felt his lips on my soft skin. All of a sudden I heart Edward growl as I looked at him and saw that his eyes were black like the night.
"Edward…" I asked
"Bella, love you smell so good, I just want to…taste you." He answered licking my neck.
Taste me? He wanted to bite me? Since when? Why did he look so hungry? When he just went out hunting?
"Edward please stop!" I was getting worried. This was not like Edward at all.
All of a sudden he froze like a statue.
"Oh Bella I am so sorry, I did not eat a lot when I went hunting last night." He explained quickly as he moved to the edge of the bed.
I nodded my head in acknowledgement still weary of Edward sitting at the edge of my bed.
Then he quickly stood up and softly growled, but I heard it.
"Bella I just need to go downstairs for a minute, Alice will be up here shortly. Remember to take your medicine." Edward said trying to avoid my gaze.
"No Edward don't go, stay with me!" I exclaimed.
"I can't Bella; I have to go talk to my family." He said still not looking at me.
"Edward what is wrong and do not lie to me!" I asked.
Edward sighed.
"It was Jasper; he said he and Emmett had caught Sarah's scent when they were coming back from searching the woods, which means she is near."
