Previously:
I knew I was pushing Edward's buttons and it was dangerous but at that point I didn't care. I was tired and wanted to go home to my own bed and most of all I wanted my space. Before I knew what was going on Edward had me pinned to the door. He was mindful of my injuries but the look in his eye was something that I have never seen before. He was beyond angry...and for the first time...I was afraid of my vampire love.

I had Bella up against the wall. Pinned to where she wasn't in pain but to where she was going to understand and listen to me and I was half tempted not to let her down until she consented. It's not like I could get tired.
She knew she had pushed my buttons, she knew she was pushing me over the edge. I don't understand why she couldn't just let it be. I wasn't doing this to hurt her. I just wanted her to understand this was my way of protecting her. Before I could register what was happening, Jasper and Emmett had me on the opposite wall of my bedroom. Rosalie and Alice had a very limp Bella in their arms.
"Edward, my GOD what did you do?" Rosalie said. Bella was still breathing...had I pushed on her to hard? I couldn't remember. I let my rage consume me. "Dude, seriously? What the hell were you thinking? We said we would help you with Bella but not like this Edward." Emmett yelled. "Edward, this isn't the way to do it. She was terrified." Jasper chided. "For Christ sake, I wasn't going to hurt her. I would never do that. She knows that, ask her!" I glared at Emmett and Jasper to let me go.
I was released out of their grasps and looked over to Rosalie and Alice. They were putting Bella on the bed, "Alice, when is she going to come to?" I tried to read her thoughts but she was blocking me. "Alice," I started to say, but, a noise from the bed distracted me. Bella was moaning. She was waking up. I began my descent towards Bella to make sure she was indeed ok, instead I was met with an angry Rosalie, who stood in my way. We had a glaring match before Bella cleared her throat, "Rose, it's ok." Rosalie looked at Bella audaciously but nodded her head and moved to the side. "We won't go far. In case you need us." Alice said patting Bella's hand.
"So, do you mind telling me why you decided to go all caveman on me?" Bella asked. She had an inquisitive look on her face. She looked amused and that just angered me further. "Why do you feel the need to push me, Bella?" I said. I ran my hand through my hair and pinched the bridge of my nose. She was trying my patience like none other. She looked at me and smirked. "I have no idea what your talking about Edward." She said sweetly. "Bella, honestly...you know how dangerous it is. I mean look at what happened a few minutes ago. I could have killed you Bella. Don't you understand this? Is this concept completely foreign to you?" My voice was calm yet demanding at the same time. This was the reason I left. She wasn't safe around me. She wasn't safe around my family.
I was so lost in my revere that I wasn't paying attention to Bella. She had stealthy moved to stand right in front of me. She reached up and touched my cheek. Startled, I grabbed her wrist she let out a soft whimper and I realized I had gripped it to tight. "Oh, God, Bella I'm so sorry I...see this is why we..." "Stop." She said in a soft commanding tone, "Don't even finish that statement. For Christ sake Edward, stop running. That's all you ever do. One little thing goes wrong and you decide to leave. This time...you don't have that luxury. I won't allow it." The last part was said softly. Had I been human I would have not caught it.
I placed my hand on her cheek and she leaned into me and closed her eyes. "Bella, I'm not leaving..the only way I will leave...." I tried to finish but she cut me off, "Yeah, I know, if I send you away. You see Edward...that's not going to happen. Yes, I need my space...but that doesn't mean I don't want to see you. I do..just not..constantly. Do you understand? Consider this our terms and agreements. If my window is locked it means your not invited. If I can restore my friendship with Jake, I will be hanging out with him and the boys at La Push." She paused and I took that moment to interrupt her. "Absolutely not. Bella, young werewolves, werewolves in general are dangerous. Plus, we could not protect you. Due to the treaty we are not allowed on their land. How would we..I know that you are safe?" She looked at me and never once faltered in her expression. "I guess your just going to have to trust me." I was at a loss for words.
I looked at it her and said carefully, "I do trust you. I don't trust them." "Maybe you should. You can't hurt Jacob without hurting me and vice a versa." She paused for a breath and placed her hands on my chest. "Every single time they said something I stood up for you. Trust me Edward. They won't hurt me. Until you came back, they were the ones that were protecting me from Victoria. IF they were going to hurt me, do you honestly think that they would protect me from her? You can read their mind can you not? Are they immune to your power?" I looked at her for a moment. "No..they are not immune." I said softly.
"Well, then if your worried that I'm not going to be safe then read their mind. Better yet, talk to Jake..since you've already had some type of conversation with him." She huffed and walked over towards the balcony. She was angry with me and I had to crack a smile as she stumbled a few times. She was so klutzy. It amazed me that she could manage to stand straight. I sighed. I didn't want to fight with her. Not about this. I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her. "Love, I just don't feel comfortable with you being alone with them." She turned around and glared at me. "Don't trust them, Edward, or do you not trust Jacob? Or is it the fact that you can't stand that you might have some healthy competition." I couldn't respond. I couldn't move. I tried to read her eyes but everything was blank. I was stunned into submission and for once it seemed that the human had control of the vampire.
Alrighty...so I'm gonna break up this chapter into parts...I think. I am sorry it's short..but I wanted to give you all something! :) My hubby passed all his stuff so...he will start the academy in January...most of our stuff is packed. Christmas is right around the corner and I'm confident I will find a job soon. It's just going to suck leaving our family and extended family (friends) behind. BUT this is still a good thing...I think. ;0) So....I'm gonna try to work on the next part and hopefully get something out for you! As always..I love you all. Your great! :)
