Author's Note: After the completion of YEARS I will postpone LOVING DOUBT's in Edward's version and start on my newest project. The working title is DESCENDANT by the way so look for it after the next chapter. That's all.

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight but I do own this plot!

I stuck to Bella like glue all weekend and even offered to go into the bathroom with her while she showered but she just glared at me so I took that as a no. She wiggled out of my arms and strained to see the clock sitting on her bedside table. Her eyes widened at the sight and I tightened my grip a tad bit.

"Edward, shouldn't you go change for school?" She asked. I knew she was right and let out an involuntary groan before letting go of her and jumping off the bed. I kissed her lightly on the forehead quickly and straightened my clothes.

"I'll be back with the car in ten minutes," I smiled and proceeded to jumped out the window making my way home as fast as I could. I opened the door to the house to reveal an amused Rosalie.

"So you finally decided to come home," she smirked. "Does that mean she's finally forgiven you?" I nodded being in too good of a mood to care what she says.

Emmett and Jasper appeared at the bottom of the stairs and wearing the biggest grins I've ever seen. They looked like complete madmen and Rosalie raised her eyebrow in confusion too.

"What is with you two?" She spat. They both shook their heads simultaneously and looked at me.

Good job on the proposals. Where'd you get that stuff? I will be forever grateful for this!

Emmett chanted in his thoughts and I repressed a smile myself.

Alice saw her reaction already and is excited as ever. You are a genius!

Jasper chimed in and I broke the slightest smile.

I nodded quickly before making my way upstairs to get changed and go to pick up Bella. I grabbed a random pair of jeans and a turtle neck and slipped it on. I got out of my room and went downstairs.

"You're going again?" Rosalie said unbelievably. Is he guarding her or something?

"I heard that," I warned. "I will meet up with you guys at school." I opened the door and stepped out and into the car. I wanted to get there before Bella was finished getting ready so I stepped on the gas and sped to her house.

I got there in less than three minutes and pulled smoothly into her driveway and heard the water running in her bathroom. I went to the side of the house and climbed in through the window. I must remind myself to ask for a key. I sat myself on her bed as the water turned off and I heard faint shuffling assuming that she was dressing. The sound was driving me mad with desire so I focused on my surroundings.

I looked at the wall and saw a large piece of construction paper with her handwriting on it writing in big bold letters. It was a quote 'What you don't have to fight for isn't worth winning'. That is very true, I've never had to fight as hard for anything except Bella and she was very worthy.

She chose that exact moment to step out of the bathroom with her hair still wet wearing jeans and a scarlet tank top. The contrast between the top and her skin was amazing and she looked...brilliant. She went over to the vanity mirror she had at the corner of the room and sprayed something on her neck and on her wrists. I sped over and took a whiff of her neck recognizing the scent instantly.

"Lavender," I guessed. She smiled and nodded. "You look and smell irresistible," I complimented.

I flicked her hair over to her other shoulder and rubbed my neck on the side of the neck. She trembled underneath my touch bringing a smile to my face. Her alarm clock pierced the air with it's ring and she pulled away from me. She walked out swiftly leaving me to stand there still a bit dazed by her touch myself. I was able to shake it off after a moment and trail after her.

I made it to the doorway and saw her standing in the middle of the yard her face blank as if she was concentrating on something. I heard a flap behind me and turned in time to see a hot red jacket flying in my direction at top speeds. I ducked instinctively to prevent catching it in the face. The jacket continued to fly like it had a mind of its own and landed straight in Bella's hand. She pulled it on casually turning away from me.

"Bella, what the heck was that?" I questioned wondering how a jacket was levitating in the air like that.

"I forgot my jacket so I got it to come to me," she said it like it was an everyday thing. It finally dawned on me. Bella was the one making it do that.

"You can move things with your mind?" I asked intrigued by her ability. She laughed lightly and nodded pulling me to my car.

"Come on or we'll be late."

I rolled my eyes thinking that's not a bad idea and quickly gathered my gentlemanly self and opened the door for her to get in. When she did, I closed the door behind her and went over to the driver's side and started the car. As I pulled out, she played with the stereo and looked confused when there was no CD in the drive and the radio was on a very boring talk station.

"What happened to your CD's?" She voiced looking at me. Answering her question was going to let her know just how much she affect my actions and show my weakness, but why shouldn't she know? Besides, she'd probably figured it out by now.

"I threw them away because they reminded me of and that just hurts too much."

"Oh," she replied in a whisper and stared down at her lap. I pulled into the school's parking lot and parked the car in the same spot I do everyday. I hope she doesn't blame herself for this, it was my fault not her's.

We spotted Rosalie's car a little further down the lot and saw Alice bounce happily towards Bella. She pulled Bella into a hug and let out excited giggles all through it.

"I knew it was just a matter of time. I'm so glad you forgave us!" She said giddily.

Bella wrapped her arms around Alice as much as she can manage and smiled. Alice released her after a while and Emmett stepped up for his hug. Emmett squeezed Bella a bit to hard and I saw her flinch. I was going to voice my complaint but Bella was a step ahead.

"Emmett, you're hurting me," she moaned and Emmett released her. He was grinning and his thoughts showed on his face.

"Sorry, just nice to have you back," he added.

"Nice to see you all too," Bella said happily and I think she'd be in tears if she could. She saw Rosalie smiling at her and went over to her but I was too preoccupied to observe the rest.

A group of kids were having the most disgusting thoughts about my Bella and my sisters too. I focused on them at the other end of the lot and let out an involuntary growl catching Bella's attention. I wanted to rip them to shreds for thinking what they were thinking.

"Edward, what is it?" Bella asked in a worried tone. I couldn't bring myself to answer. I was concentrating too hard on keeping myself here and not over there causing those idiots tremendous pain.

One of the boys gathered up enough courage and made his way over to where we stood. I was getting more furious with each step he took. The boy had no idea how close he was coming to death right now. He didn't look at me or Emmett and Jasper. His eyes were on the girls as he scored them on his disgusting scale trying to figure out which one he wanted. He settled on Bella in the end and I almost pounced on his sorry self but the thought of Carlisle and Esme brought me back into reality.

"You ladies want to go to the beach with us this weekend?" He said to Bella. Jasper and Emmett's thoughts were not far from mine and added to my anger. Jasper had enough restraint and helped Alice control Emmett from killing the boy right that instant.

"In your dreams!" My angel spat loudly. All anger disappeared as I turned to face her in confusion at her tone. She sounded so commanding and carried herself with such authority that I've never seen before. I stared at her in disbelief.

"Too bad. I was going to show you a good time," the boy added before slouching back to his group in defeat. My family broke out in laughter and they all wondered the same thing I did. I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her waist to show all who thought they had the slightest chance that she was taken.

"Bella, you have changed."

"Did you always expect me to be the damsel in distress?" She said leaning back in my chest.

"Well, yes. But you never fail to surprise me." She pulled away and greeted my family one more time before going to class. I was a bit disappointed she no longer needed my protection but was amazed at her change.

Fifth Period - Theater

When I got to the class the teacher's thoughts on his lesson plan today hit me. Today was going to be quite interesting. I wonder how Bella does at Shakespearian language. Bella came in as soon as I sat down and I smiled knowingly at her. She looked at me suspiciously when she sat down and I can no longer hold it, so I laughed. I pulled the packet the teacher gave me into sight and dropped it on her desk.

"We're doing Romeo and Juliet for a class play. We are reading for parts today. You are my partner," I informed. He jaw dropped open and she looked absolutely appalled.

"Class, pick a partner of boy and girl. You will be reading the classic balcony scene. Pick a paragraph and read from it. Any volunteers to go first?" The teacher asked. I gladly began to raise my hand but Bella's voice stopped me in the process.

"If you dare then don't even think about touching me ever again," she whispered sternly and I placed my hand back down. Fine, I'll wait until we get called on. Either way, we will have to do it.

"No? Then I'll just have to pick myself. Cullen and Swan." I straighted at my name. I didn't even have to volunteer. I cleared my throat and looked at the script just to avoid suspicion. I know this by heart so it was a piece of cake to recite the monolog for Romeo.

He jests at scars that never felt a wound.

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were!
She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that?
Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks:
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.
See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!

I finished and looked at Bella. She stared at me her eyes the size of almonds. It was her turn and I heard her gulp before looking back to the script and picking the other monolog to read.

Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face,
Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek
For that which thou hast heard me speak to-night
Fain would I dwell on form, fain, fain deny
What I have spoke: but farewell compliment!
Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say 'Ay,'
And I will take thy word: yet if thou swear'st,
Thou mayst prove false; at lovers' perjuriesThen say, Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo,
If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully:
Or if thou think'st I am too quickly won,
I'll frown and be perverse and say thee nay,
So thou wilt woo; but else, not for the world.
In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond,
And therefore thou mayst think my 'havior light:
But trust me, gentleman, I'll prove more true
Than those that have more cunning to be strange.
I should have been more strange, I must confess,
But that thou overheard'st, ere I was ware,
My true love's passion: therefore pardon me,
And not impute this yielding to light love,
Which the dark night hath so discovered.

She was brilliant! When she was done everyone clapped and it was my turn to stare at her. She shrugged at me telling me she had no idea she could do that either. I kept replaying her words in my head for the rest of the period because it was much better than hearing the rest of the class kill the lines with their stuttering and mispronunciations.

"Alright, thank you. I will have the roles picked out by next class period so we can start rehearsals." He finished and retreated to his seat. I took the opportunity to scoot my chair closer to Bella's.

"Bella, you sounded like you were the real Juliet," I mocked.

"You sounded like you were the real Romeo too." I laughed as I caught a piece of information from Alice's latest vision. It required us in costume in the play and Bella looking breath-taking in her Juliet costume. But also me in tights.

"Alice is telling me we will get the parts," I informed her. I looked her in the eyes and added, "Bella, we are Romeo and Juliet alive." She laughed making the connection that I did as the bell rang. I grabbed her hand and pulled her up from her seat and out the class into the parking lot.
