BPOV

Edward and Amanda were brother and sister? Maybe if I just sneak away he won't notice me. Nope, he just noticed me. Wait, why was Amanda here all alone? What was Edward thinking letting a six year old run around a terrifying place without someone to look after her? This made me mad. Didn't he realise all the things that could have happened to her? What if I hadn't of come along? I snapped something at him, not really knowing what I was saying. He looked taken aback, good! Suddenly Amanda was tugging on my pants; I smiled at her, not wanting to upset her.

"It's not Edward's fault" My mouth fell open, how did she know I was blaming him? Edward asked Amanda what she meant and she explained. I started to listen to the conversation.

"Amanda, as much as I trust Bella, what if it had been someone else and they had taken you away?" Edward had spoken with such anxiety in his voice, I felt ashamed. Maybe he couldn't have helped letting Amanda come here. She seemed pretty persuasive. And he was so upset that she had accepted the help of a stranger. He trusted me?

"But Edward, I knew she was ok because when we saw her on stage you told me you knew her and she was the only person in this whole room to ask me what was wrong. That just proves how nice and caring she is" Amanda was trying to persuade Edward that I wasn't a kidnapper. I thought this was my cue too slip away and let them have a family moment. I jumped and blushed as Edward grabbed my hand. Why was he holding my hand?

"Edward, why are you holding Bella's hand?" Was Amanda reading my mind? Maybe my mind hadn't matured past the age of a six year old, this is depressing and embarrassing.

"Because she is trying to run away" He stated simply, Amanda gasped. At least this answered my question.

"Bella? Do you not want to be my friend? I thought you liked me" Amanda's bottom lip started to quiver and I took a deep breath willing myself not to cry. Kneeling down, Edward released my hand as I took Amanda's in mine.

"Don't be silly Amanda, of course I like you and I really would love to be your friend...if that's alright with your brother" I gazed up at Edward, unsure if he wanted me to be around his sister. Amanda had now started glaring at him.

"Edward! Did you tell Bella she couldn't be my friend" I had a smile playing on my lips. She reminded me so much of Katie. God why did I start thinking about her, now I'm really trying hard not to cry.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Edward" Amanda screamed, he must have said yes. Suddenly Amanda tackled me to the ground. Ouch I laid there slightly winded. Amanda laughed as Edward dragged her off me. He then bent over and wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me to my feet, holding me close to his chest. I was about to hyperventilate.

"Thanks Edward" Was all I could manage to murmur. He tilted my chin towards his face. I had butterflies in my stomach. Why did he have this effect on me?

"My pleasure Bella" I blushed and then smiled at him. He was so perfect and his smile was contagious.

"There you are!"Alice exclaimed walking over to us and Edward finally let me go.

"Alice!" Amanda squealed.

"Hey Amanda" Alice twirled Amanda around. "Don't you look gorgeous" Alice grinned at Amanda.

"It was all Bella's doing, she fixed my dress and did my hair and makeup" Amanda replied excitedly.

"Did she really?" Alice stared at me as I blushed I wanted to fade into nothingness. "Bella, you never told me you could sew or that you could actually apply makeup and arrange hair" I cursed quietly then muttered "you never asked". Alice laughed at me, big surprise.

"Alice, Bella, there you two are. I've been looking for you all morning" I stiffened at the familiar voice, scared, but I couldn't help but laugh at the bruise I had left on his cheek. I stood behind Edward and Amanda rushed behind me. At least she had enough common sense to know that Laurent wasn't a nice person.

"Mr Masen, how are you this morning?" He nodded towards Edward who was now trying not to laugh. Rage flickered across Laurent's face. Crap. I grabbed Edward's arm which seemed to enrage Laurent further.

"Edward, please don't" I whispered, not wanting Laurent to engage in a fight with Edward.

"Masen, do you find something amusing?" I tightened my grip on Edward's arm, Laurent looked like he was about to tear me apart. Edward suddenly reached down and raised my hands to his lips. He just kissed me, oh my, I think I'm going to pass out. Did Laurent's eyes just blaze red? Please don't let him kill me.

"Relax Bella" Edward comforted me. Laurent seemed to be shaking with anger.

"Isabella a word. Now!" Laurent's voice was shaking; his hands were clenched in fists. I was going to die...or worse. I had never seen him this mad. I held on to Edward, afraid to move.

"Bella, would you go and help Amanda get ready?" Edward was giving me an out? But Laurent wouldn't like this. Crap, crap, crap! What do I do? I looked down and realised I was not the only one who could get hurt. I nodded at Edward and led Amanda away from them and Alice followed. Laurent tried to follow us but I turned and saw Edward through him against a wall. I held my breath but continued to lead Amanda away from the violence that I knew was erupting behind us.

Sitting down on a couch, I pulled Amanda into my lap as she wailed that Edward was going to die. I simply rubbed her back telling her he would be fine as I watched Alice's facial expressions, not daring to glance at what was happening.

"Edward's walking over, Jasper and Emmett just took Laurent outside" Alice muttered to me.

"Sorry Bella" Edward spoke softly standing in front of me. Why was he sorry?

"Why are you apologizing? Bella beat the crap out of him yesterday, why shouldn't you?" Alice answered.

"Because Bella asked me not to" He mumbled, why was he acting like this?

"When? I didn't hear her." Alice returned.

"Are you mad at me Bella?" Edward asked staring into my eyes; my breath caught, he was so beautiful. I dropped my gaze, afraid of what I was starting to feel towards him.

"Of course I'm not mad, you were just standing up for me and it wasn't your fault, you were being polite and he was being a jackass" I answered, wincing as I realised what I had just said in front of Amanda.

"What's a jackass Bella?" I was about ready to cry, now Edward would hate me. I raised my eyes to his and mouthed sorry. I felt so ashamed. How could I have let that slip? Edward sat down next to me and pulled Amanda out of my lap, into his.

"Edward, you're alive!" Amanda exclaimed before jumping up and running off towards the stage. I couldn't stop thinking about how she reminded me of Katie. I placed my head in my hands, trying to hold back the tears of anguish but I couldn't.

"Edward, I am so sorry, I forgot I had to watch what I say around children" I begged Edward. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close to his chest. Why was he doing this? Now I wasn't only upset I was confused. I started crying harder.

"Bella its fine, you should hear what she comes home with when I let her spend the day with Emmett...it's very colourful" He chuckled briefly.

"Bella, please, what's wrong?" He wiped the tears off my cheeks. I was feeling way too good in his arms. Taking a deep breath I cleared my mind of emotions.

"Nothing Edward, I'm just really sorry and it's been a long day, well a long week and I'm under a lot of stress." I tried to smile reassuringly at him but it probably came out as a grimace. He seemed reluctant to let me go but allowed me to stand up. I started to head over to where the others had gathered.

"Bella" Edward grabbed my hand and I almost had a heart attack. Why did he want to be around me? "You can always talk to me about anything ok, I won't let him touch you again" I bit my bottom lip, he really was too sweet, maybe he treated everyone like this. I nodded and instantly felt relief that he promised to keep me safe, that meant he was going to be sticking around for a little while. "By the way, what did you do to Laurent yesterday?" He asked

"I kicked his ass" I gave him a simplified version as I didn't want to explain to him that he started kissing me and I freaked out. I walked straight over to Alice; I had had enough drama today. All I wanted to do was go lie down somewhere and cry myself to sleep.

"Alice" I whispered.

"Yes Bella" Alice returned in a normal voice.

"Would you mind taking me home please" Alice's eyes lit up.

"I get to drive the Ferrari?!" Alice shrieked and started bouncing up and down and Rosalie's mouth fell open.

"You own a Ferrari?" Rosalie stammered. I nodded, and then they attacked me.

"Goodbye Bella" Edward sighed with what seemed to be a sad smile on his face. Was I reading too much into this?

"Bye Edward" I answered quietly while I was pushed outside. I missed his presence already.
