Wow, I have nothing to say for once. I own nothing!
Bella pov
I jumped slightly as I heard a car beep outside. As I glanced out of my window I was shocked to see a shiny silver Volvo parked in my drive.
Edward.
I fumbled for my belongings before heading downstairs. We were friends again now? Did that mean we were going to go back to how it was before the argument? A sort of friends with the occasional make out session? I had no idea.
I hadn't slept well last night. I was too busy thinking about everything that had happened, how the night had started so terrible and ended so amazing. How Edward had rescued me, how he'd said he felt protective, our kiss, falling asleep in his arms. As weird as it sounds it was the perfect night. Not including the nearly getting raped part. It was how I wanted to spend every night-in Edward's arms.
I quickly glanced in the mirror before heading out of the door, checking the foundation was covering my bruised nose and then headed out of the door. As soon as I closed the door Edward turned to me and gently took my face in his hands. I had to concentrate on keeping my breathing steady as I gazed into his dazzling green eyes. He appeared to be checking my nose.
"That's healed quick…." He trailed off.
"Foundation is a magical thing Edward." I chuckled once as the realization struck his face.
"Are you okay?" He asked sweetly.
I Nodded.
"No concussion or anything?"
"Nope, I'm perfect." I grinned at him as he rolled his eyes and drove quickly out of my driveway towards school.

I noticed Edward's eyes suddenly turn cold. I followed his gaze and saw Mike. His jaw was slightly bruised, but other than that he looked fine. It made me sick, how could he get away so lightly for what he did to me? Without turning to look at me Edward was out of the car and slamming the door, shouting a quick, "Stay in the car." To me.
I quickly jumped out of the car, ignoring Edward's wishes, not bothering to shut the door behind me and caught up with Edward when he was half way between Mike and the car. I grabbed his arm and spun him around to look at me.
"What are you going to do?" I asked panicky.
"Nothing he doesn't deserve." He replied through gritted teeth.
He turned to walk away again but I held onto his arm, forcing him to stay.
"Please don't." I pleaded. "I don't want you getting in trouble for me."
He looked at me and for a moment I thought he'd stay with me but I was wrong. He simply shook his head and walked determinedly over to where Mike was stood. He tapped him lightly on the shoulder and Mike slowly came face to face with Edward. He looked scared. I ran towards them and grabbed Edward again, trying to make him look at me, he still had his eyes locked on Mike's face. I reached up and placed my hands on either side of his face, forcing him to look at me.
"Please, he's not worth it." He didn't look convinced. "For me?" I whispered. He didn't say anything but his face softened slightly, it looked like he was going to leave it.
"Back for more are you, swan?" I heard Mike sneer.
I felt Edward tense beside me but before he could do anything I'd taken a step towards Mike and I flew my fist at his face with as much power as I could. I heard a few gasps and realized a crowd had gathered.
"Don't you ever talk to me again. Fucking scum." I spat at him angrily.
I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist and I was instantly calmed. They pulled me backwards and I gladly went with them. Closing my eyes to get the image of his smug face out of my head. It was impossible; he was there when I closed my eyes. Leering at me.
The only thing that gave away the fact I was being carried was the soft swaying motion I felt whilst I was in Edward's arms. I willingly curled my body closer to his and he hugged me tighter. I didn't care where he was taking me, as long as it was away from there.

"Oh my!" I heard a female voice cry as we entered a building.
"It's alright. She's just a bit shaken up. There was an incident just now. We'll need some ice for her hand, I think it's broken."
I opened my eyes to see a petit middle aged women scurry out of the room quickly. I leaned away from Edward slightly and glanced around the room. We were in the nurse's office. He lay me gently down on the bed and stood next to me scanning my face and body nervously.
"I'm sorry." I mumbled pathetically.
"Don't be sorry. He deserved that! You must have put some force into it, I'm proud of you. It was amazing." He paused and looked down at the floor, "You're amazing." He finished and I blushed.
"My hands really not that bad, why did you tell her it could be broken?"
He raised an eyebrow at me and lifted my hand up to my face. I saw my knuckles where starting to swell. Oops. My face got even redder and Edward laughed. The woman came back into the room and handed me an ice pack, smiling once before turning to speak to Edward.
"Okay, so can you tell me what happened?"
What, did she think I wasn't capable of telling her what happened myself?
"Well, Mike Newton tried it on with Bella yesterday. She said no, he persisted. But luckily nothing happened. Today he provoked her and she hit him."
The nurse raised her eyebrows as if she didn't believe it.
"If you want proof you can take the make up of Bella's nose which is hiding the fat ass bruise that Mike gave her."
The tone of Edward's voice seemed to convince her and she shuffled of nervously muttering something about telling the principle. I felt Edward entwine his fingers in mine on my uninjured hand and I breathed a sigh of relief.
"He won't hurt you again. I promise."
"Please, don't do anything stupid for me."
His brow furrowed but he nodded nevertheless.
"I'll just get the others to beat the crap out of him, they're more than willing." He grinned.
I was about to protest but the nurse was now back by my side examining my hand.

Edward pov
The nurse had told Bella her hand was most probably fractured and had strapped it up for the time being, saying that was all she could do and advising her to see a doctor as soon as possible. I still wanted to get Mike back, but I'd promised Bella I wouldn't; and I couldn't break that promise. However Emmett, Jasper, Rose and Alice where more than happy to step in for me-which was all good.
Bella and I had been sat at lunch for about 15 minutes before the guys appeared, all looking pretty smug. But no one mentioned anything. About 10 minutes later Mike limped into the room. I had to refrain from laughing as he came into view. Instead I turned and gave Emmett a quick thumbs up. I glanced back at Mike and examined him more closely this time. He was holding some screwed up toilet paper scrunched up against him nose, it wasn't doing much good though, the blood was oozing through the tissue slowly. His jaw was turning a very bright red, a purpling colour was starting to appear under his left eye and he was walking very slowly. Limping slightly, as if he were in pain. Good.
I held my hand up towards Emmett and he slapped his hand hard against mine before me and Jasper did exactly the same. The girls just grinned at me.
"You've done me proud guys." I told them.
Bella looked confused and matched her gaze with all of ours. She gasped as she caught a glimpse of Mike. I couldn't help but chuckle.
"You promised!" She accused me.
I held my hands up in front of me.
"Hey, I was with you all day. It was all these guys!"
"You can't expect us to let him get away with what he did!" Emmett exclaimed loudly. "And he broke your hand." He added.
"Actually, I broke my hand. Wasn't my hitting him enough?" She asked.
"Nope." He replied back simply, popping the 'p'.
"Don't go and give the boys all the credit!" I heard Alice huff, "We helped too." She added a little smugly.
"What?!" I heard Bella squeal.
I had to admit, it was strange to see someone as tiny as Alice as threatening. But, my god, she is so much more dangerous than a lot of people I know. Alice bobbed her head up and down excitedly.
"Mhmm, I got a few good kicks in, but these two were hogging him too much." She laughed and jabbed Jasper in his side jokingly.
"And me!" Rose chirped in. "I was the first to hit him." She added proudly.
We all watched Bella as she sat speechless. Gawping at us all like we had three heads or something.
"But….you all? For me?....why?" She stammered out.
"Cause we love you." Rosalie said simply, everyone else nodded or smiled at her.
"What If you get in trouble?" She asked nervously.
"Don't worry, we won't." Emmett boomed this time.
I watched Bella for a moment; she still looked slightly confused about the whole situation. I just smiled at her; she was so adorable when she was thinking.
"You know what?" She asked out of the blue a little while later. "I love you guys too." She looked at us all with a goofy grin plastered on her face and I couldn't help but smile back.
She was so beautiful, even pulling stupid faces.
I'm sorry if this chapter sucks. I just couldn't seem to write it for some reason. I'll probably update every day in the holidays because I'll be in all the time, so a lot more should happen in the next 5 chapters or so Hope you liked it anywayyy. Review please
