Chapter 4

BPOV

-After school-

I headed toward the auditorium. That's where the practices of the play were taking place. I slowly opened the door to the auditorium making a squeak.

I looked and saw that Mike was already there, but he was the only one there. He saw me and he ran toward me with a large smirk across his face.

"Hey, Bella! Ready to practice?" he asked excitedly.

"Yea, sure," I said as I looked around hoping to find someone else in the auditorium, but no one was there.

"Yeap, we're the only ones here," he said noticing my face was filled with worry, "You know… Umm… the kiss at the end of the play?"

I blushed slightly and I nodded.

"It's just a play, so yea," he said as he blushed as well.

"I know, plus, I have Edward." OOPS! The moment I said Edward's name, his face stiffened and turned white.

"Oh… okay," he said and turned away. At least now, I didn't have to deal with him.

Then everyone started coming in. We gathered together. I guess that Lauren was the president (I didn't know how to sat it) of the acting club thingy.

"Everyone, we are going to start the practices from today. I hope you all know your lines for the 1st part of the play," said Lauren. Oops again. I didn't know a single line on the script. I quickly opened the booklet of the script and started putting the lines in my head. At least I can memorize stuff fast.

"Now, Juliet and Romeo get into your places," Lauren yelled over the voices of everyone else.

(A/N: I don't want to write the stuff that happened during the practice. Plus, nothing really happened.)

-After practice-

I walked out the auditorium as soon as the practice was over. I ran to the parking lot and saw a sliver Volvo parked by itself. As soon as Edward saw me, he came out the car in a flash.

I hugged him tightly and gave him a quick peck on his lips. I went inside and Edward drove off.

"How was the practice my love?" he asked with a smile.

"Not so good. It was boring," I sighed and Edward laughed.

"I missed you so much," Edward said.

"It was only 1 hour! But still, I missed you too."

-2 weeks later, after school-

"So Bella, I'll pick you up at 3 right here," he said and kissed me.

"Okay!" I said and headed off to the auditorium.

I walked in and everyone was there.

"Okay, we've got everyone, so let's start," Lauren screamed and we got to our places. I got most of my lines memorized by now.

The practice ended and I was heading off until Lauren called my name.

"Bella," I turned around, "The play is tomorrow, are you ready?"

"Of course I am!" I said remembering the plan that Alice told me. Lauren smiled and she went out the door.

"Bella," I heard Mike say, "can I talk to you?"

"Sure," I said and went to him.

By then, everyone else was gone. I went up the stairs to the stage where Mike was standing.

"Since, we're having the play tomorrow, I think there's one more scene that we have to go over before tomorrow," he said. I didn't like where this was going.

He came closer and I stepped back. Shoot! I was against the wall so I couldn't go anywhere.

"Mike, I need to go," I said but his arms were against the wall so I couldn't go anywhere.

"Bella, we need to practice this scene. I want to," he said as his face was closing into mine. He was now, about 2 inches away from me.

"Mike, NO!" I screamed. Then I heard the door swing open. There stood my angel. His face was in shock. He ran toward us in human speed and grabbed Mike off of me.

He punched Mike across his face and Mike fell on the ground. He was still. I called out his name to see if Edward killed him.

He rose up and sat up.

"Cullen," he growled.

"Newton, don't you ever touch my Bella," Edward growled back.

"It's too bad you're not in the play. I mean, I get to kiss her tomorrow and not you," he said with a smirk.

Edward just glared at him.

He picked me up in bridal form and took me out the auditorium. I looked back at Mike one more time before Edward took me to his car. He was still sitting on the stage. His face was all red where Edward punched him. I saw blood sliding slowly from his mouth.

"Until tomorrow!" Mike yelled behind us.

Edward placed me in the car and he got in. He drove really fast.

"Bella, did Newton…… kiss you?" he asked in worry.

"No."

"Bella, I don't want you to go near him again," he growled. I looked at his hands and saw that he was trembling in anger.

"Edward, it's okay, he didn't kiss me," I said and touched his hand. His trembling was gone in a second.

He pulled over and looked at me.

"Edward?"

Then he took me into his arms. He held me tightly and kissed my hair.

"I was really afraid that Newton kissed you," he said and looked at me, "I'm sorry for letting this happen." His face was filled with guilt.

"Edward, I will never let Mike kiss me. As long as I'm alive," I smiled. I leaned in and gave him a passionate kiss.

"Bella," he whispered.

"Edward, let's go home," I laughed and I rested my head on his shoulders. He drove off to his house.

I hope tomorrow's play will turn out fine.
