Edward's POV

Fear. Fear for myself and for my family. Fear for Charlie, and yes, fear for Jacob.

We were all very different from one another, but we all loved one thing. Bella.

We all wished for her health, and we all knew about her current state of mind. Today would be her first day back at school after the suicide attempt, and I wasn't sure what today would bring.

After school today I would bring her back to my house. Jasper was going to talk to her. I already knew what he had planned, but I still wasn't very comfortable with everything that had been going on lately. Then again, who was?

My Bella was in pain, and it wasn't like we could do nothing. We couldn't stand here and watch her slowly kill herself. Unfortunately, by hiding this, that was exactly what we had been doing.

Watching Bella die. I wasn't going to take it anymore. That was why I was going to bring her to my house, whether she was ready or not. Whether I had to drag her there myself, or she went willingly. I was done trying to make her happy. Now, I just wanted to get her healthy, even if it killed me in the process.

I stayed at Bella's house last night. It didn't seem like she had many nightmares which was a good thing.

Carlisle and Jasper had bought her a diary, but even though I very much wanted to, I didn't look. I was actually going to go hunting this afternoon during Jasper and Bella's 'session' so I could give them some privacy.

I was aware that Bella would edit her words carefully so that I wasn't in pain, and I wasn't sure if that would be bad for her or not. Carlisle said that it was important to get as much out of her as possible. With that said, it would probably be easier if I wasn't there. I wasn't keen on the idea, but it was the fairest way.

School went by like a breeze, of course there were rumors about Bella, but the teachers did a good job of keeping that under control. Bella had to eat in the office so that she didn't get harassed her first day back. I ate with her as well. Our classes were good and in the passing times nobody really bothered us much.

The teachers kept their eyes on Bella, and timed her whenever she left the classroom, but that was most likely protocol.

It wasn't until it was time to leave that things started to go downhill. Alice came up to me after school got out and warned me of Bella's plan.

"She isn't going to go without a fight Edward, and you don't want to bring attention to yourself. What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to pick her up and force her into the car. I'm not letting her get out of this."

"What part of 'Don't bring attention to yourself' did you not understand? If you do that, Bella is going to throw a fit!"

"Well, help me then. Or at least get Jasper here so he can calm her down," I pleaded.

"I can't do that! He's supposed to be at college you idiot! I can probably help though..."

"Uh oh, Alice is scheming. Poor Bella, now she's really in trouble."

"I got it. Just follow my lead. We have to hurry, she's going to sneak out the back way."

"Alright."

We 'ran' back inside the school so we were at the same exit that Bella would be going to. Lucky for us, there were still some students there putting stuff together. We pretended to be talking with them so Bella wouldn't notice us.

Bella came around the corner looking very suspicious. She thought the cost was clear, so she went outside. That was when Alice made her move.

"Hi Bella! Why did you leave this way?"

"Dammit," Bella cursed under her breath. I think she forgot we could hear her.

"Oh Bella, silly goose. Of course I would know that you would be back here. You should really try to make your decisions in less time before class gets out."

"Alice please, just let me go home. I'm tired, just please let me go home," Bella pleaded looking at Alice.

"I'm sorry Bella, but that isn't going to happen. Anyway, why I caught up with you in the first place is that I wanted to know what your plans for later were."

"You don't know?"

"I don't know about what?"

"Never mind."

"Anyway, I was wondering if you wanted to go shopping later? I need a new dress, I sorta wrecked mine on our last trip," Alice grinned.

Poor Bella didn't even realize that as they talked, Alice was walking her closer and closer to our car. I decided to get in so that we could go right away and Bella didn't have the chance to escape.

With that said, I didn't have a chance to hear the rest of the conversation, the only other thing I heard was the end.

"Come on Bella! Please?"

"No Alice, wait. When did we get in the parking lot?"

"Wow Bella, you really are slow." Alice then opened the door, but in such a way that Bella was trapped between her arms. Bella didn't have a choice but to get into the car.

"Dammit," Bella said, louder this time.

"Bella, you might as well just get into the car. You know I could stand here all day and night if I have to."

"Fine," Bella replied as she made her way into the car. She noticed me sitting in the driver seat, and scowled. She hated loosing, especially when it came to me.

The ride to my house was quiet, Bella wasn't going to talk to me, and Alice had no reason to talk. Only a few words were spared, mostly of Bella complaining.

It killed me to see her this way but I knew it was for her own good. I let her out of the car, and surprisingly, she made a run for it. I easily caught up to her less than a few seconds later and I threw her over my shoulder.

Bad boyfriend move because she started screaming. This wasn't even a "put me down right now" scream that most people did. This was a blood curdling "I'm going to die" scream. It made both Jasper and Emmett come out of the house. I instantaneously put Bella down and saw her face. She was truly scared of me, and she was crying. I felt horrible.

"What happened?" Jasper asked analyzing Bella after obviously feeling her fear.

"I picked her up and I guess I must've scared her. I didn't know, I'm so sorry Bella, I'm so sorry."

"Save it Edward, that isn't going to help her right now." Turning to Bella he said, "Bella, why don't we head upstairs. Everything is already set up for us. Are you okay to walk, or would you like me to help you?"

" I-I C-Can d-do i-it" she said softly, obviously trying not to cry.

She slowly got herself off the pavement of the driveway, and Jasper took my love, the reason for my existence, upstairs into Carlisle's study where memories would come back to her. Demons. The way her face looked right then was enough to tell me that I should back off for a while. She had been truly scared of me, and I didn't even do anything. I had held my love. What could be wrong with that?
