Charlie and Bella exit the treatment area. "I just have to sign some paperwork. You better call your mom."
"You told her? She's probably freaking out right now!" He shrugs and hurries off. Bella shakes her head, and pulls out her cell phone. She's about to dial, but then sees down the hall... Edward, Rosalie, and Dr. Cullen. Rosalie is clearly furious at Edward who stands his ground while Dr. Cullen is playing intermediary.
"This isn't just about you, it's about all of us." She whisper shouts at Edward. Dr. Cullen sees Bella and stops Rosalie.
"Let's take this in my office. Rosalie glares at Edward as she goes off with Dr. Cullen."
Edward adopts a nonchalant air as Bella approaches, determined. "Can I talk to you for a moment?How did you get over to me so quickly?"
"I was standing right next to you."
"You were next to your car, across the lot." He steps closer to her. His expression turns icy hard.
"No, I wasn't."
She won't be bullied. Steps closer to him. "Yes. You were."
"You're confused. You hit your head."
"I know what I saw."
"And what, exactly, was that?"
"You stopped that van. You pushed it away."
"No one will believe that."
"I wasn't planning to tell anyone. "
This registers with Edward. They're inches from each other,the tension thick.
"I just want to know the truth." Bella sighs.
"Can't you just thank me and get over it?"
"Thank you." A long silence stretches as they look at each other, angry, defensive, and without a doubt, attracted.
"You're not going to let it go, are you?"
"No."
"Then I hope you enjoy disappointment." Edward says as he turns and walks away.
Bella realizes she's frustratingly attracted to him, and absolutely determined to find out the truth, but she wants this conversation to end on a good note. "Hey, Did Noah like the golden onion?"
Edward turns still walking backwards with a smirk, "Yeah, he named it King Midas."
Edward is sitting at the piano composing a song while his thoughts are full of Bella. She's so stubborn, and confusing, he feels like he has to know everything about her.
Noah comes to sit beside him giggling, "It's okay Eddie you'll figure her out."
"What do you mean little one?" Edward asks.
"Bella isn't giving up so you'll have time to get to know her. Like how me and daddy talked all the time and he knows my favorite everything!" Noah's smile is bright and Edward can't help but smile too.
"So I'll find out all her favorite things if I talk to her more?"
"Yup! Now can we play my favorite song together?"
"Yeah we can." Edward laughs at Noah's enthusiastic clapping and starts to play with Noah.
