Chapter 14

Looking between Edward and Drake I was unsure of what to do. I didn't want to leave Drake open to Edward's hidden fury, but I also didn't want to make Edward and I's situation any worse. Drake would have to fend for himself this time.

"Okay. And, um, we'll talk later right?" I asked Edward cautiously. With Alice having seen what happened his behavior was unusual. I would of expected him to be boiling in anger over my indiscretion.

"Of course Bella. We have all the time in the world to talk." Edward gently squeezed my shoulder when I stood. Reassured, I made my way over to Alice and Jasper at the bar.

"Oh Bella! We all missed you so much, are you okay?" Alice asked rushed. She jumped up and grasped me in a death hug. I had to admit that I missed her just as much. Sitting down besides them, Jasper simply patted me on my back.

"Yes, I think I'm going to be just fine. I'm just not to certain how Drake is going to be after Edward is done with him."

"After what he did, why are you so worried about him Bella?" Jasper asked, clearly confused.

"Because, what you think happened didn't."

Bella's heartbeat was beyond normal. Drake's time was limited for what he did to my Bella. And then that scum forces her to sit with him after? But for some strange reason Bella was nervous and wasn't calm until I told her that we'd talk later. It was as if she thought that I wouldn't want to be with her after what that Bastard did to her.

Taking a seat across from Drake, I notice he looks calm and settled. Almost at peace with the situation like he did nothing wrong.

"So, you are Drake right?" I see him nod in agreement and so I continue.

"You know, Drake, Bella is very special to me. In fact, she's an extension of my very soul. And I can't and I won't just sit back idly while that soul is threatened or endangered." I glared at him, drilling in my message. I knew Bella was at the bar watching and I didn't want to lose control and frighten her. But at the same time, Drake needed to learn a lesson.

"I understand you care about her Edward, but I didn't do anything she didn't want me to do." A smug smile graced Drake's face. Baring my teeth, I laugh unabashedly at him. Drake, out of nervousness, does the same thing.

"You really, really should not have said that Drake." Taking a quick glance around, I notice the bar is empty with the exception of my family and this soon to be dead man in front of me. Standing up abruptly I walk around the table slowly. Drake stands and moves away, not so slowly.

Rapidly closing the space between us, I grab Drake by the throat. He looks bewildered and his heart gives away his terror. I smile at this, feeding from his fear.

"Please, I'm sorry." He croaks out.

"What? You don't like someone overpowering you? Don't like having someone taking advantage of you?" I spit, feeling the venom fill my mouth. Pulling my fist back, I'm fully committed to reciprocating the same pain, if not more, that Drake inflicted on my love.

I feel someone attempting to hold me back, a faint voice even. How dare anyone try and stop me from getting retribution for my precious Bella! Throwing my arm back disgusted and defiantly. Not until I hear a yelp and a loud crash do I come out of my vengeful reverie.

"Oh my God Edward!" Alice berates me. Forgetting Drake, I loosen my hold over him and turn to see that I threw Bella off of me, only for her to crash through multiple tables and land across the bar. No, no, NO! What have I done?

Risking exposure, I run over to her, carefully lifting her into my arms. She looks like she's going in and out of consciousness, and there is a huge bleeding gash on the back of her head. Carefully picking up I run to Alice's Porsche.

"Alice, Japser! Let's go NOW!" I roared. Alice jumps into the seat and peels out and races back to Forks at 195 mph. Giving my attention back to Bella, I gently stroke her hair. Her eyes are open and she looks more lucid but eerily pale.

"Bella, I'm so sorry love. You have to stay awake okay?" I beg of her. A solo tear escapes her eye and she coughs.

"Edward, I'm…I'm gonna throw up!" She exclaims. Trying to tilt herself up, I help her the rest of the way before she empties her stomach in the backseat of Alice's Porsche.

((AN: Ew, gross. Hahaha. Well, I did write this chapter yesterday with a more understanding and calm Edward…but it seemed to perfect and this was more exciting. So reviews please? Please and thank you! :)
