Chapter 21

Bella POV

I awoke in an unfamiliar room. It felt strange for some reason. I felt like I had been sleeping for days, like I had been having a really vivid dream but couldn't remember any of it. My lack of memory didn't occupy my thoughts for long when I noticed the two stone arms that were wrapped protectively around me.I looked down and noticed for the first time that I was still in my dress. Confusion clouded my mind just for a fraction of a second until I felt his cool breath on the back of my neck. It sent shivers down my spine and my mind went blank.

I turned in his arms to face him. His glorious face was just inches from mine. His usually messy hair was all over the place, sticking out in every direction and I craved to touch it.I nearly laughed until I noticed the bags under eyes like he had been crying. He was still in his clothes from the party, they were a lot wrinklier than before. Now I was really confused. Millions of thoughts ran through my head at once.

The room was bright, so it was obviously morning, right? What happened after the party last night? Why am I still in my dress? Where's Alice? Did Edward sleep here with me all night? Surely Carlisle and Esme wouldn't allow it, right? Maybe he was sleep walking! Why is he still in his clothes? This isn't the room Alice and I stayed in.I tried to remember what happened at the party but I couldn't. I let out a breath I didn't even realise I was holding and I turned back towards Edward. His arms tightened around me and he buried his face in my neck. My breathing hitched.

His eyes flew open. I smiled at him, the blood rushing to my cheeks at our position. His eyes grew wide.

"Bella" He almost shouted "You're awake!!"

Before I could even think let alone respond his lips crashed into mine.Hard.It was as if he hadn't seen me in years. All too soon he pulled away.His eyes were boring into mine and I touched his face.

"Well this is a nice wake up call" I said sarcastically, my cheeks were still pink.His face was still serious. He crashed his lips to mine again and tightened his grip, crushing my ribcage making it hard to breath. Not that he didn't leave me breathless any way. When he finally released me I was gasping for air and thought I might suffer serious brain damage from being starved of oxygen. His eyes studied my face. My breathing was heavy.

"Edward...what...is...going...on?" I finally managed to string the words together hoping he would understand. His eyebrows knit together.

"You don't remember?"

"No!" I thought for a moment."Remember what exactly?"

"Maybe its best you don't" he said anger flashing in his eyes as he snapped his teeth together.

I opened my mouth to question him when the door flew open. I sat bolt upright in the bed and Edward released me completely. Alice stood there, her wide eyes filling with tears. She was in her pj's but looked as if she hadn't slept. She ran towards the bed, jumped up and crashed into me knocking me back against the head board.

"Ow"

"Oh Bella you're awake, you're awake!" She was hugging me tightly. I was absolutely dumbfounded as to what was going on. Jasper appeared at the door then. Alice was still clutching me. I looked to him for an explanation.

"Hey you're awake" was all he said leaning against the frame.

"Ok why does everyone keep saying that? Do I not usually wake at this time of day? And whats with the enthusiasm? Jeez guys I'm flattered you're so happy to see me in the morning but this is a little much"

Alice released me then, looking at me curiously and then she fixed her eyes on Edward.

"She doesn't remember" Edward said and Alice nodded finally understanding. I on the other hand was completely oblivious. Emmett appeared behind Jasper.He smiled at me showing his dimples.

"Hey Bella, it's good to hear you're not pregnant" he said chuckling. My eyes grew wide as I threw Edward a frantic glance. He just closed his eyes and shook his head. Carlisle and Esme entered then and I could feel six pairs of curious eyes on me.

"Ok. I have no idea what's going on. Would someone care to fill me in?" Edward reached for my hand." I didn't know waking up was an activity which involved the whole family in the Cullen household but you're kinda freaking me out a little bit. Jazz a little help?"

"I think you better take this one Edward" Jasper said taking Alice by the hand and leading her out of the room. Esme ushered Emmett out of the room and Carlisle followed. I turned towards Edward. We sat facing each other now, both my hands in his. He drew in a long breath, there were knots in my stomach and I didn't even know why.

Edward looked up at me from under his lashes. My brain was foggy. His expression was heartbreaking.

"Bella I...I never meant to hurt you. Do you believe me when I tell you that?"

"Edward what are you talking about? You're really scaring me now!"

"Do you believe me?" he asked again looking down at our hands.

"What?... Of course I do...Edward.." He studied my face.

"It was all my fault Bella. She was trying to get back at me. I never meant for you to get dragged into this... but I brought you here. I should have known she would have done something.Bella I'm so sorry. She was trying to... and then you went to the bathroom, but you didn't come out!...I was searching for you... looking everywhere but I couldn't find you...I started to get worried"

I was staring at our hands now but not really seeing them. As Edward rushed through his sentences jumping from line to line, flashes of last night flickered through my mind my hands began to shake. Edward was still talking.

"...And then I found you... you were just lying there... and I didn't know what was wrong... and you didn't wake up and I was calling you and saying your name... but you still didn't wake up.."

Edward's voice cracked and I looked into his eyes. They were wet. He released one of my hands to touch my face." I thought you were gone... but you were still breathing... and then everyone was asking me questions and Alice was crying... and you were just lying there... and we brought you in here...and then she came here.."

He ripped his hand from my face. His expression was terrifying. I was actually afraid of him. I knew who he was talking about straight away. Tanya. Her face flashed in my mind. Our confrontation ringing in my ears but I couldn't remember anything after that.Edward was speaking through gritted teeth. When he finally calmed down a bit he told me the rest. I was horrified. Not at Tanya's behavior- I expected that- but at the fact that Edward blamed himself.

"Bella if I hadn't brought you here, she wouldn't have hurt you. You'd be at home safe in your own bed. I'm so sorry Bella It's all my fault...I never set out to hurt you but I have and it's all my fault..." he kept saying over and over again.

"Edward stop!" he stopped midsentence to look at me. "You can't blame yourself Edward. Blame Tanya. Blame Tanya's parents. Blame anyone you want. I don't blame you so you certainly shouldn't blame yourself. If it had been you lying on the floor I can be sure Tanya would be going to a much hotter place than prison or where ever she is right now." He half smiled at the last part and I pressed my lips to his.

"You knew I meant hell right? Not like California or something. You knew I was implying I would kill her right? Just thought I'd clear that up" he laughed against my lips and I was glad I had my Edward back and not the Edward Tanya had tried so hard to destroy. We lay side by side on the bed for a long time. Our fingers intertwined. Suddenly Edward turned to me sitting up on his elbow.

"Can we go home?"

I looked at him with my eyebrows raised.

"This place just doesn't feel like home anymore" he said looking around the room. "Or do you want to say" he studied my face.

"I want to be with you" I said sitting up mirroring his position. He smiled that half crooked smile that made my cheeks hot and pulled me off the bed.

"Then lets go"

I caught sight of my self in one of the mirrors and I was shocked.

"Jeez Edward you could have told me I looked like Amy Winehouse" Edwards laugh echoed down the stairs. I definitely had my Edward back.

Ok I know that was kind of a crap ending but the next chapter is so long and alot of stuff happens. Also can we show some love for Bree!! Yeah!! Standing up to Tanya like that! That girls got balls- not literally

Please review. I love it when you do. OMJ Thats rhymes. It happens to me all the time. ha OK I'll stop now. :D
