Hi all I apologise for my lack of updating. I've just been in really bad writers block. But I am now on a roll again and working on new chapters. Hope you all like this new chapter.


Previously...

"Hey, everything okay", the voice asked.

I opened my eyes to see a man standing next to us as we sat. I lifted my head of Edwards shoulder.

"This is Bella. She burned her arm while making dinner. I wrapped it up but I wanted you to check it out", Edward explained.

"That's fine. I'll get you two to follow me", the man said.

This must be Carlisle. Edwards father, adoptive father. We followed Carlisle to a private room which was his office. We walked in and Carlisle instructed me to take a seat on the bed. I sat down as Edward stood next to me. I avoided looking at all the medical equipment as I sat down as I knew there were needles there.

"I'll get you to lie down", Carlisle instructed farther.

The anxiety started to creep in as I laid down. I started rubbing my hands together to try and relax myself but it didn't do much good. I looked over at Edward as he smiled at me. This made me relax a lot more.

"Okay Bella. I'm just going to examin your arm. I'll be as gentle as I can", Carlisle said.

I nodded. Once Carlisle started examining my arm the pain began. I reached out for something to grab a hold of to and just like back in the kitchen in Charlie's my hand found Edwards.

"Sorry", I said as I pulled my hand away.

"Don't", Edward replied taking my hand in his.

A few moments past before Carlisle spoke up.

"There's a bruise on your wrist. How did you get that", Carlisle asked.

Oh my god. Mike. I forgot about the bruise. I have to lie.

"I fell and landed on my arm", I said.

It didn't sound believable even to me. Carlisle simply nodded his head and continued. He applied a cream for the burn and wrapped my arm up in a bandage. He handed me a prescription of the burn cream and some painkillers.

"If your in to much pain come back and ill examin you again. Apply the cream twice a day. Once in the morning and night. I'll also give you a handful of bandages away with you. If you need help I don't think Edward mind giving you a hand", Carlisle said.

I looked to Edward as be nodded his head in agreement. I smiled up at him and made my way to the door.

"Edward. If you don't mind, can I speak to you for a second", Carlisle asked just as Edward was by my side.

"Sure. I'll meet you out front it that's okay", Edward said towards me.

"Yeah thats fine", I said as I left the room and went to the waiting room and sat down.

I know the bruise on my arm looks suspicious but I hope I got away with my lie. I boubt it though as I can't lie to save my life. I sat for a few minuets lost in my thoughts of Edward and how cold his hand is until Edward was standing in front of me.

"You ready", he asked.

I nodded and stood up and walked side by side with Edward. As we reached the car Edward went to my side and opened my door for me. I thanked him and got my self buckled in. In the blink of an eye Edward was in the car starting the engine.

"How did you get there so quickly", I asked.

"I'm just fast", he said as he pulled out of the parking space.

"Okay, sure. Keep lying", I said as I looked outside the window.

"Like how your lying about how you got the bruise on your arm".

Shit. He saw right though me.

"Excuse me. I wasn't lying", I said defensivly.

"Bella. I can tell what a hand print looks like".

"Well, it's not. Just leave it alone".

We continued the journey home in silence. I felt bad for snapping at Edward but I didn't want him to know what was happening. If I did he might be in danger too. After five minuets we were pulling up to Charlies front door. As we came to a stop Edward broke the silence.

"I'm sorry for asking. I didn't have any right", he apologised.

I lifted my head as it was hanging down and I was looking down at the ground.

"Its okay. I shouldn't have snapped. Thank you for dropping me home. I'll see you at school tomorrow", I said as I opened the door and stepped out.

"Bella, be careful tonight okay", Edward said leaning towards the open door towards me.

"Okay, I will".

As Edward said bye I closed the door and saw him drive off. I stood by the sidewalk as I watched him leave. I felt very guilty for snapping at him. He didn't deserve that. I just don't know how to deal with this situation. After a few moments I desided to head into the house. As I walked in Charlie was stood by the front door.

"Hey. What are you doing standing there", I asked.

"I saw Edward's car pull up. How did everything go".

"Fine. I have some cream and dressing for it", I answered.

He nodded his head and looked at me suspicously.

"What is that look for", I ask.

"This Edward guy. What's happening there".

I sighed. I know Charlie is my Dad but it feels odd for me to chat about guys with him especially about guys who I have no idea what is happening with them. I walked along the hallway and started to climb the stairs to bed.

"Dad, we're just friends. His family just moved to town and I was making them feel more welcome", I said.

"It looks like something else".

"Dad please stop interrogating me and let me go to bed", I said softly.

"Okay. Have a good night", he said as he smirked and walked away.

I took this time to escape but not before I heard him shout one last thing.

"That boy likes you".
