A/N: Okay… so the chapter you've all been waiting for… Florida! I have big plans for them.

Seaworld… marine labs… snorkeling… I would do scuba diving but they have to be certified… also since the nights are free… dancing… dinner… We still don't know where Edward wants to take Bella… I have an idea…


Chapter 21

"We are about to arriving in Orlando Florida. We encourage you to check out the Disney attractions and the other family attractions they offer. Thank you again for taking American Coach." The flight attendant clicked off the intercom.

I rubbed the sleep from my eyes but saw that Edward hadn't budged. He was such a heavy sleeper. It makes me wonder… I could get kidnapped one night and he wouldn't know. I sighed and tried to shake him awake.

"Edward, we're about to land. You got to wake up." He groaned moved his arm till it was around my waist. He pulled me to him snuggling up into my side. "Edward, I'm serious."

Alice turned around in her seat laughing at me. "Edward, mom made pancakes." He didn't budge.

I giggled. "Alice you know that only works with Emmett."

She tilted her head. "Well it was worth a try."

Jacob called over my seat to Mike. "Hey Mike. Give Bella a little help."

He grinned and leaned over Edward's seat. "Oh Bella, you look hott in that swimsuit. Here let me help you with that tie. Oops it broke." Edward's knuckles turned white and Mike continued. It kind of creeped me out. "Oh Bella, don't touch me there."

Riley's eyes snapped open and he turned to face Mike. "What the-." He saw my expression and then understood. I was trying my hardest not to laugh. He looked down at Edward with sympathy.

Riley sighed. "Edward get up before Mike tries to snog your girlfriend." Edward's eyes flicked open and his hand snapped up smacking Mike in the face.

We all burst out laughing. Edward flicked Alice and Jake off frustrated with them and brought my lips down to his. "Good morning sleepy head." I said against his lips. "Someone's a little grumpy."

He huffed. "Sorry if the image of Mike ridding you of your swimsuit and then making out with you doesn't put me in a sunshiny mood."

"I'm sorry, you wouldn't get up though." I put on my puppy dog face.

"It's okay… I was having a very good dream though." A smug smile appeared on his face.

"Oh really… and what was it about." I raised an eyebrow.

"I can't tell you."

I would have begged him to tell me but the seatbelt sign came on. I clicked mine on and gripped Edward's hand for dear life. Baggage claim and unloading was fairly simple and soon we were all piled into the student van. We ended up riding for an hour or more to Daytona Beach and staying at the Hilton. The Marine Fisheries moved us so we would be closer.

We had the same room number which I thought was weird but when we got to the room it made sense. We had the whole hall to ourselves. The elevator opened right to our room. Since Edward and I were the first ones up I opened the door. We stepped into a large room that looked like a living room. It had a TV, a couch, and a couple of chairs. There was a pretty view of the ocean. The living room area had a kitchenette and a dining room table. There were five doors on both walls parallel from each other.

"Ahem." Riley walked in on us Edward removed his hand from my waist. "Girls on the left guys on the right.

Alice glided in the room followed by Jake, Tanya, Mike, Angela, Ben, and Mrs. Bottoms. I took the room closest to the wall and Edward took the same one as me but parallel. I stepped into my room and saw that I shared a bathroom with the person next to me. That would make sense for jack and jill bathrooms. Alice bounding into my room from the bathroom.

"Isn't this just great Bella?" She jumped up and down taking my hand.

"Um Alice? I kinda need my hand back." I smiled at her and started to unpack my stuff.

She let go and ran back to her room. "Bella, we have until 10:30. Do you want to go get dinner, or we could go shopping, or we could go swimming, or we could go shopping, or we could walk on the beach, or we could go shopping."

I laughed. "Alice, I promise we'll go shopping some other time. I'm tired though so I think I'll just relax here."

Edward entered the room pulling me against his chest. "Alice, Bella is tired. You can go shopping when she's not. I imagine that you will want to get Bella a dress for our romantic evening I have planned." I shook my head and he laughed. "Oh… remember we had a bet."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

He smirked. "Yeah, I'm sure you don't. Now how about you and me go downstairs and get some dinner."

My stomach growled. "My tummy says it's hungry."

H smiled and patted my stomach. "Well we wouldn't want Edward Jr. to starve."

We started laughing but Alice was completely lost. "Don't worry Alice, they don't tell me anything either." Jake walked in my room rolling his eyes. "You guys feel like pizza? Dominos is across the street."

"Pizza would be good." Everyone nodded in agreement and we trailed out the door.

Riley was sitting on the couch looking through the brochures. "Ri- er… Mr. White. We're going to get pizza and maybe look around at the shops." He smiled at me and nodded.

"Okay, just be back before 10:30."

We stepped out the door careful not to draw attention to ourselves. We didn't want any uninvited guests coming along with us. We met Angela and Ben waiting for the elevator. They had the same idea as us. We took an elevator downstairs and I saw that people had laptops sitting around the lobby. We walked over to Dominos. Alice and Edward split a pizza and Jake and I split a pizza. Angela and Ben at last minute decided they wanted Burger King so we let them go their separate way. We took the pizza to the beach as we watched the sun set over the horizon. It was so pretty.

Alice wanted to go shopping so Jake went with her. I warned him but he said he could handle it. Poor, poor Jake. Edward and I watched the rest of the sun go down and then I was ready to go to sleep. Stupid jet lag.

By the time we made it back to the room it was around nine. I changed into my shorts and tank top and crawled into bed. No one was there except for Riley so we left my door open and Edward crawled into bed next to me. I got under the covers and he slept over the covers. I nestled up next to him and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"Goodnight Edward."

"Goodnight my angel." He wrapped his arms around me and I drifted off to sleep.

"Edward, Edward wake up." Alice shook me awake and I held on tighter to Bella.

"Go away Alice." I shrugged her off of me.

"Edward it's 10:30. You have to go to your room. There's no sleeping together in rooms." I growled and sat up. Alice yawned and walked back through the bathroom.

I kissed Bella's forehead. "Sweet dreams my angel."

I groggily walked to my room closing the door behind me. I put on my pajamas and fell into bed but I couldn't get to sleep. I envied Bella. There was absolutely no way I was going to be able to sleep. Well at least I got and hour and thirty minutes in.

Mr. White opened my door to make sure I was in my bed. He saw me moving restlessly. "Calm down Edward. You'll see her in the morning." Not like he understood why I couldn't sleep but whatever.

I set my alarm clock for 6:30 giving myself plenty of time in the morning. I laid there for a long time trying to force sleep to overcome me. I glanced at the clock and it read 1:30. Jeez I would be worn our in the morning. That's when I heard a shrill scream. I knew that scream. It was the one I had stopped many times. Before I had time to register my body reacted. I pulled the covers off of me and dashed to my door flinging it open. I ran across the room clearing the inn table and barged into Bella' room.

She had her feet pulled up to her chest leaning against the headrest for support. "Bella?"

"Edward?" I ran to her side pulling her into my chest. She was shaking with terror.

"Bella, you're shaking." She sobbed into my chest.

The lights flipped on and I attacked whoever brought the blinding light. "What the heck? Turn of the lights! You're making it worse." Mr. White flipped the lights back off and I saw people surrounding Bella's door.

"What happened?" Mr. White came to Bella's side. She was clutching onto me for dear life.

"She can't be left alone. I should have known better. She needs me." I rocked her in my arms.

"Everyone go back to bed. Everything's fine." He looked at Bella. "Bella, you're okay. Try to go back to sleep."

She nodded but kept her grip on me. "Mr. White… she has frequent nightmares. I can't just leave her."

He shook his head. "I'm sorry Edward. I can't allow you two to sleep in the same room. It's against school policy."

"I don't think you understand Mr. White. Do you know what she's been through? Look she's trembling." I couldn't understand how he could see that and not care.

"I understand that Mr. Cullen, but I can not allow two students of opposite gender to sleep in the same room. Ask your sister to stay with her." Sleep clouded his eyes.

"It has to be me." He shook his head again. "Can I see you outside real quick?"

He sighed and got to his fear trudging out the door. I tried to pull away from Bella but she wouldn't let go. "Bella honey, I'll be right back. I'll settle this." I kissed her forehead and she let go curling up in a ball.

"Mr. White, I know you don't understand this but Bella needs me. We've tried everything and I seem to be the only key. She'll stay up all night if I'm not with her. Talk to her doctor. Here I have him on speed dial." I held the number 3 on my speed dial and my dad picked up.

"Hello? Edward? What's wrong?" His voice became frantic.

"It's Bella. She's having nightmares. I think it's the change of scenery."

Carlisle sighed. "Ah, and the teacher won't let you in her room?"

I nodded. "Precisely."

"Okay, let me talk to him."

I handed Mr. White the phone. "He would like to speak to you."

He rolled his eyes and took the phone from my hand. "Hello Dr. Cullen."

"Mhmm… I understand that… it's against school rules… yes sir… and her guardian is fully aware of this? I see… yes sir. No problem sir. Thank you." He shut the phone.

"Fine Edward, you win. I'm giving you the warning now though. If I find you two in any position that is not platonic then you will be on the first flight back to Washington. You will not lock the door. The only time the door will be locked is if you are out of the room." He turned into super teacher.

"Yes sir. I understand fully. Thank you."

He nodded. "Now get to bed."

I quickly made for Bella's room and closed the door behind me. The lights were still off and I could see Bella's trembling form in the middle of the bed. The moon showed through the window. I crawled on the bed pulling her into my arms.

"Edward?" Her hand reached for my face.

"Shhhh, Bella I'm here. I told you I'd take care of everything." She uncurled herself and fell into my arms.

I carefully picked her up and slid her under the covers then pulled the covers over myself. "Edward, how?"

I chuckled. "Carlisle. Goodnight Angel."

"Good night Edward. I love you." She snuggled into my side.


A/N: Next chapter their studies will start. I have some plans for that. Only Carlisle can perform miracles like this one. I mean seriously he talked a teacher into letting a guy and girl room together on a school trip. Maybe Carlisle does have a power… :D

Review!
