Even though my family and I were no longer fighting, I still drove separately so that I could arrive early and maybe have a few extra minutes before class to spend with Bella. When I arrived in the parking lot of the school I saw that Bella's beat up red truck was already there, but as I got closer I noticed something wrong. Bella was hunched over with her face in her hands, and her chest heaving in sobs. Oh, my Bella.I thought as I rushed over to her car, pulling open the door and taking Bella into my arms. I tried to calm her by stroking her hair and humming a lullaby that I had been composing. This seemed to help because she soon quieted down and wrapped her arms around my waist.

"I guess Charlie set a punishment then?" I said it in a light tone hoping to lighten the mood somewhat.

"Yeah, I am grounded for three weeks but that doesn't matter Charlie……Charlie….." This can't be good. She couldn't even finish the sentence. I pulled away a little and took her face into my hands, looking straight into her eyes.

"Bella, it doesn't matter what Charlie said. It doesn't matter." I looked at her with as much passion and intensity as I could. "I love you. And it can't be that bad what Charlie said."

"He says that I can't…..that I can't see you anymore." She lowered her head back into my chest and I once again held her in a tight hug.

"That will never happen. I will never give up on you." By now we noticed the parking lot was being to get full so I helped to wipe away her tears and we made our way to class. We said our good-byes outside of Bella's classroom and I promised to meet her after class. I turned to leave but Bella still hung onto my hand, so I turned back to her and she placed her arms around my neck and crashed her lips into mine. "Wow. What was that for?" I asked when we finally broke apart.

"For everything." She gave me a quick peck on the lips before turning into the classroom. I would have gone in there after her if it wasn't for the teacher that was now standing in the door way.

The day passed slowly till lunch because even though I saw Bella between classes it wasn't enough time. I craved her presences. So we walked into the lunchroom hand in hand, pass the table where Jessica was waving us down to the table in the back of the cafeteria were Emmett, Rose, Alice and Jasper were waiting for us. Once Bella took a seat next to Alice I leaned down to her ear.

"I am going to get us something to eat, I'll be right back. Oh and Newton is starring daggers at me right now." I kissed the hollow behind her ear sending a shiver down her body, before turning around to the lunch line. I grabbed a little bit of everything because I was unsure of what Bella would want to eat, when I was suddenly pushed forward almost dropping my tray. I turn around to be confronted with Newton and his group of friends. "Can I help you gentlemen?" I asked trying to keep calm.

"Well it's just that I saw you with my girlfriend, and I got to tell you that I am not comfortable with you socializing with her." Said Mike as he stepped closer to me.

"Who would this be? Because I know that you aren't talking about my girlfriend, Bella." Mike looked like he was going to try take a swing at me and I didn't feel like anymore of my lunch time fighting with this moron. So I continued through the line and paid. I was half way to the table when I heard Newton shout across the cafeteria.

"This isn't over Cullen. She is mine and always will be." I was shaking from anger and the sure stupidity of his comment when I reached the table. Everyone of course had turned around to see what all the commotion was about, but only one pair of eyes was on me. The only ones I cared about, Bella's.

"What was that about?" She asked when I sat down.

"Nothing love, just Newton being Newton. So I didn't know what you wanted so I got a little bit of everything." I gave her the biggest smile that I could to ease her doubt of what had just occurred. The rest of lunch went by uneventful, but as we made our way to the biology room we were faced with more trouble. Lauren came from behind pushing Bella as she walked by making Bella stumble but before I could reach her; Newton swooped in and gathered her in his arms. When he didn't let go right away I made my way to stand in front of Bella breaking the two apart. "Keep your hands off my girlfriend Newton. And if you ever put your hands on her again, you will have to answer to me."

"And me"

"And me" Said Jasper and Emmett as they came out of the cafeteria and saw the scene that was unfolding. Newton backed away at the sight of my brothers. And Bella turned around, wrapping her arms around my neck.

"You guys are my heroes." She said as she placed a kiss on my lips. The kiss was soft but sweet and full of love.

"What about us?" Said Emmett in a mocked hurt tone, which caused us all to laugh as we continued our way to class.
