~OoOoO~

BPOV:

I looked over at Edward for the millionth time on the 15 minute drive home from the hospital, only to find him exactly like he was last time I had checked.

He jaw was clenched tightly, his breathing carefully controlled although I could tell he was angry, and his knuckles were white from how tight he was holding onto the steering wheel.

He had barely said one word to me since this morning, and was getting edgy. Was he mad at me? Had somebody done something to upset him?

I looked out of the window and ground my teeth together, and noticed how fast the trees were going by us.

"Slow down!" I said, louder than I intended, and he jumped and slammed on the brake, jerking me forward roughly and causing me to smack the back of the seat.

I gripped onto the sides of he set as my vision went away some and reappeared, as s pounding sensation started in my head. Great. Now I was getting a migraine.

"Dammit, Bella!" Edward hissed. I shrunk back at his tone and words, never having heard him talk like this. Especially towards me.

He leaned back into his seat, pinching the bridge of his nose like he did when he was stressed or angry from work. But this wasn't work.

"If you scream like that again we're going to wreck. Now what were you even saying?" he asked, his voice angry but controlled.

I took a deep breath, trying to get passed the headache and shock and PMS before answering him.

"I was telling you to slow down." I muttered clenching my eyes shut as a tremor ran through my head and caused tears to prickle my eyes.

"Could you have done it a little more quietly?" he asked.

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair, "Sorry if I scared you. You were going too fast and was distracted and I just freaked out." I said.

He started driving again, slower now, thank god, and I tried to relax in my seat. The second we pulled in the driveway I got out of the car and slammed the door shut before walking inside, trying not to run so I could lock myself up in my room faster.

Edwards was quiet, and it wasn't until I was safely in my room when I heard his office door open and shut loudly, proving he was mad.

I turned into my pillow, finally letting the past 2 days catch up to me. I had a panic attack. Alice talked about Aro. He was trying to get her to tell me stuff somehow. I wound up in the hospital and now Edward was pissed off at me for some reason.

Somewhere in the distance I heard the door to Edwards office open and close again, and I buried my head deeper so I could try to muffle my sobs.

I knew it hadn't worked when my bedroom door opened and shut and a gentle weight pressed beside of me. A warm hand brushed itself through my hair, and he laid down beside of me.

"Sh, Bella. I'm sorry. So, so sorry." Edward whispered, wrapping his arms around me tightly and rocking me gently like he had done when I was younger.

"Why are you sorry?" I managed to whisper after a couple minutes.

"For how I treated you in the car. I'm supposed to comfort you but I'm letting my personal problems get in the way." he said, rubbing my back.

"Edward, you need to be able to let out your troubles. I can tell you're stressed, but I was it shocked my what you had done. You usually aren't... like that. It just surprised me." I muttered.

"Bella you were crying." he said, wiping away the last of my tears and kissing my forehead gently.

"Yeah, that was part of it. But buddy had a headache and PMS. Not exactly the bet mixture." I muttered.

He blushed slightly at my words, I did, too, but he didn't shy away from that stuff. He usually was the one who went out and got medicine for me when I was feeling bad.

He sighed quietly. It was nearly 1:00, now. On a Monday afternoon.

"Did you call the school?" I asked, sitting up some.

"Yeah. You're excused today and if you don't feel up for it tomorrow, too. I do have work tomorrow, though, so if you don't go pull be by yourself. I already took today off and the won't let me have a sick day unless it's a dire emergency for the next 2 weeks, at least." he said.

"I should be fine tomorrow. I feel okay now." I said.

He smiled slightly and nodded. "So, I was thinking we could have a family night tonight." he said with a wink.

It was a sort of joke between me and him for family night, because it was only us.

I chuckled, "Sounds good." I said.

We usually had family nights on Saturdays and Sundays that he was off work, and pretty much stayed in the living room watching movies and eating junk food until we passed out.

"Do you want to go to the store with me?" he asked, standing up. We usually went food shopping on Sundays, but that wasn't the case now.

I shook my head, "I'll just go myself." I said, shrugging.

He frowned, "You sure?" he asked.

I nodded. I needed a little time alone right now.

"Okay, then. What car are you taking?" he asked, reaching into his jeans pocket and pulling out both sets.

I took the set to the Volvo and stretched. We had 2 cars, a light blue Infinity and the black Volvo. The Infinity was mine, but he let me drive the Volvo we he wasn't using it.

He out the other set on my nightstand and followed by out of my bedroom. I was getting a little tired of being in there, anyway. Staring at light purple walls for various lengths of time wasn't the most fun then to do.

"Be careful." he said as I walked out.

"Always am." I said, nodding as I walked out to the car and got in. He watched as I pulled out before shutting the door and going back inside.

I drove to the store slowly, roaming through the aisles when I got there, getting food for the week, plus ice cream and random cookies.

I tensed up when somebody got so close behind me I could feel their breath on my neck. It smelt like bubblegum, and whoever it was, was chewing it loudly.

I turned around slowly, meeting icy blue eyes that stared me down. I had saw those eyes at school several times, and I suddenly wished I was with Edward.

"I wouldn't be buying all that junk food, Goose. You're gonna get fatter then you are now I you do." Jessica taunted.

I blushed and looked down at my stomach on instinct. I didn't care about my looks by no means, but I still hated when people pointed out my flaws. I already knew I had them.

Personally I didn't think I was fat. I wish I weighed more than I did now because I had no curves at all. I was a stick. Literally.

2 fingers pulled my chin up and forced me to meet her eyes again.

"Just telling you, Duck. You don't need to be more ugly then you already are. It's sickening." she said, wrinkling her nose and walking away.

I hurried to the cash register quickly, okay with what food I had. That was one thing I didn't talk to Edward about. Being bullied. While I assumed he already knew, I'd rather him not know that my only friend was a 5 year old kid.

I paid quickly and drove home. Edward was on the couch watching some kind of movie where things exploded, and I was glad that he was distracted.

I put the groceries where they belonged and laid his keys on the coffee table.

"I'm gonna go hang out in my room for a while, okay?" I asked.

He nodded, "Come down when you're ready to watch the movies." he said.

I nodded and walked upstairs.

My room was pretty simple, the same I had since I moved in but I liked it. It had light purple walls and dark purple bedding on a full sized bed. My dresser, bedframe, desk, nightstand, and TV stand were dark mahogany wood, and there was a small bulletin board above my desk with pictures I had drawn.

I sat on my bed and looked around for a second, not sure what to do now that I was in here, so decided to change into some black sweatpants. It was only around two thirty, but I was staying in for the rest of the day.

I pulled my hair up and then walked downstairs. Edward was nowhere to be found in the living room, so I walked to his bedroom door and walked in because the food was already open.

The walls in his room were a light tan gold color, the variety a deep brown and the bedding in the Queen bed dark gold. His curtains matched the bedsheets, and his furniture was light brown.

He was stretched across his bed reading a book, looking distracted. I took him in slowly, seeing how he was when nobody was watching.

He was wearing a gray pair of sweatpants and a loose red t-shirt with his legs crossed.

His chiseled features had shadows on them, cast by the bright sun that shone through the large window-wall in his room. His bronze hair was more golden from the sun, messy as ever but still looking perfect on him.

I cleared my throat quietly, trying to announce my presence, and he dropped the book and looked at me with wide eyes.

"Oh, h-hey, Bella." he said, rubbing the back of his neck.

I looked at him, my eyes narrowing in suspicion. "What are you doing?" I asked.

He shrugged and looked down at the book, a pale blush covering his features as he did, and looked back up at me, smiling crookedly, "Nothing. What are you doing?" he asked.

"I was wondering if you wanted me to fix pizza really quick so we could go on ahead and start binge watching Glee or something." I said.

He rolled his eyes, and I knew why. He didn't really have a problem with my fascination with Glee, but after me telling him about how sweet Kurt was for so long, he got the picture.

"Sure. Go on ahead I'll go hook up Netflix to the TV." he said.

I nodded and fixed a pizza quickly. It was 4:00 by the time I got done, and I cut off a fee slices before carrying them on one big plate on the coffee table.

Edward had a comforter sat out on the floor and a bunch of pillows around the top part, and I chuckled as I sat down on the other side of him, ready to start.

~OoOoO~

So, another chapter, finally. School is really going now and I have to help teach a lot of elementary schoolers, so updates may slow down just a bit.

I'm trying to alternate between POVs, so next will be Edwards, and I may add in Bella towards the end just so we can get a glimpse into Edwards life at work and Bella's school experience (shooting 2 birds with 1 stone)

So, please leave a review and some love. I'm going to start mentioning my favorite review for each chapter and calling out the first person who reviewed the chapter starting chapter 5 (Technically 6 cuz of the prologue but I'm sure you understand.)

~Thanks for reading~
