Disclaimer: I still don't own the characters in Twilight, and people always feel the need to point it out. You bitches just like to rub salt in the wound don't ya?

By the way most of this story will be written in Tanya's P.O.V. so if I don't tell you who just assume it's her… and yes I know what happens when you assume.

A/N: Okay so yes I know I suck at updating regularly, but that's totally not my fault I've been really busy with life cause it sometimes sucks.

"W-who are you?" She says sniffling looking as adorable as possible.

I kneel down in front of her, and make sure I keep eye contact so she knows there's no chance of me lying. God she has the most beautiful chocolate brown eyes I've ever seen in my life.

"I my dear angel am Tanya Denali."

She's still looking at me all confused it's so adorable, especially when she does that whole head tilt thing like a confused puppy. If I had a heartbeat I have no doubt Bella would be able to hear it right now. God what is this little human doing to me?

"Tanya?" She whispers so quietly I almost didn't hear her.

"Yes Angel?" I whisper back loud enough for her to hear over the rain starting to fall.

"Can you please take me home I'm getting cold and wet?" She says looking down like she's ashamed. Oh my god must this human be so fucking adorable it's insane.

"Of course I can my dear angel. May I pick you up? I promise I won't hurt you." After those words leave my mouth her face is quickly hidden behind her hair as she starts to cry again. I was confused until I realized what I had just said. I can't believe I am this stupid and uncoordinated by a little human.

I quickly kneel down and pull Bella into my arms and rock her gently. "Bella my angel please don't cry he isn't worth all of your tears."

"Why did he leave me? I thought we were soul mates…he told me we were soul mates." She said as she started crying harder.

"Angel I'm sorry to tell you this, but if you two were really soul mates the thought of leaving you wouldn't have ever crossed your mind even if it was for your safety. Now come on let's get you home the last thing I want is for you to get sick." I gently pick her up bridal style and take off towards her house.

Upon reaching her house I switch her to my back and start to climb the tree outside her bedroom window. I try to be as gently as I can while I jump into her room. The last thing I would ever dream of doing is hurting my precious cargo. I move her back to bridal style and gently place her on her bed not caring if I get it wet. I then slowly back away and stand there waiting for her to do or say something.

After waiting a bit and watching her fidget I decided to get the ball rolling or at least get her to change out of her soaking wet clothes. "Angel if you don't wish to speak then I can leave if you like. I don't want you sitting there in wet clothes for too long." Suddenly she looks at me with sad chocolate brown eyes and shakes her head softly.

"Please don't leave me. I don't want to be left alone." She whispers trying not to burst into tears again. I think she's truly afraid to be alone because of my good for nothing cousin.

"I promise I'll stay for as long as you want, but you need to get out of those wet clothes." I say not leaving room for discussion.

"Okay," she whispers as she slowly gets up and grabs some clothes out of her dresser. I sit down on her window ceil and just watch her quietly. Even now with her looking so broken and defeated, yet she is still the most beautiful girl I've very seen. I think I'm falling for her if I haven't already. "I'm going to take a shower. Will you be here when I get back?" She asked looking very unsure of herself.

"If you want me to be," is all I say letting her decide what she wants.

"Yes," is all she whispers softly not looking me in the eye.

"Then I'll be here when you come back." I say smiling softly.

"Okay," she says trying not to smile. "I put a set of clothes for you on my bed. I hope they fit you're a bit taller than me." She says as she heads towards her bathroom.

"Thank you," I say before she's completely out of the room. She stops and slowly turns to look at me with a small smile on her face.

"You're welcome," is all she says before she continues into her bathroom to take a shower.

I quietly change my clothes then call Alice to let her know what's happening. I start to pull out my phone and dial her number when suddenly it starts looking and it just so happens to be Alice. I quietly answer and start to say hello when Alice cuts me off and starts firing off question.

"How's she doing? Alice asks without so much as a hello first.

"Hello to you too Alice and honestly about as well as to be expected considering the circumstances especially with how Edward told her they were soul mates." I say trying to hold back a growl while saying the last part.

"Sorry hi Tanya I don't mean to be rude. I'm just really worried about Bella I told Edward leaving her was a bad idea. I wish I had known how he was going to do it thought." Alice said sounding extremely guilty.

"So you didn't know he was going to leave her in the woods then?" I asked just to make sure she wasn't lying to me.

"Honestly no. All I knew was that he was going to leave her whether we went with him or not. You know how Edward gets once he's made up his mind there's no changing it. . Emmett, Esme, and I were out voted and the family forced us to leave. That's why I sent you to make sure she didn't get into trouble." Alice said sounding almost heartbroken.

"I think it's a little too late for that don't you think?!" I growl not really mad at Alice. I'm mad at everybody who sided with Edward in leaving my angel.

"You sound mad Tanya, and you sound extremely protective of Bella and you only known her for what an hour or so." I could hear the smile Alice had on her face while saying all of that. Damn her and her all-knowing future seeing self.

"Shut up! Don't make fun of me while I'm trying to be pissed off." I saying trying to stay made at my cousins.

"It's ok to like her Tanya. You know I won't judge you since I sent you to her just for that reason." She says trying to be serious for one of the few rare times in her life.

"I never said I…wait you did what?!" I shout hoping Bella didn't hear me.

"I said congratulations' Tanya you have just met your mate." Alice said sounding excited.

All I can do is hold the phone to my ear in total shock. I don't have any idea what I'm supposed to say to that considering the circumstances at how I mean Bella and all. I want to thank Alice, but could she have told me sooner about Bella. I mean seriously I could have stopped her from getting together with Edward, and we wouldn't be going through all of this right now.

"I didn't tell you about Bella sooner because by the time I found out Edward was already obsessed with her and vice versa. She would have gone to you eventually, but your bond wouldn't have been as strong as it will be now." Well when she puts it like that then her not telling me makes a lot of sense.

"What am I supposed to do? I can't just tell her she's my mate especially after all the crap Edward's been telling her." I say really unsure of anything right now.

"Just try being her friend and the rest will work itself out. I got to go Bella's about to head into the room any minute now. Just be your normal self and she'll be yours in no time. Bye, Tanya."

"Bye, Alice." I whisper then quickly hang up and start pacing the room. I have no clue how to handle all of this and I can't go hunting to clear my mind because I promised Bella I would be here when she got back. I think I'll just lie down.

Quickly I walked over to Bella's bed and started to lay down when I noticed Edward's scent all over it. I tried to hold back a growl and stay calm. Why is his scent all over my mates' bed? I refused to lie down on a bed that my good for nothing cousins scent is all over. Maybe changing the sheets will make it better…maybe I should ask Bella if that's ok first. The last thing I want to do is upset her further. I walk back over to the window ceil and sit there and look out the window as I wait for Bella to get back. Luckily I only have to wait for a few minutes when I hear the door open slowly then close.

"You're still here?" She asks almost unsure if I was telling the truth or not when I promised to stay.

"I promised to stay didn't I?" I ask as I turn to look at her with a smirk.

"Well yeah, but I mean I don't really know you and you don't know me so yeah…I don't really know what I'm trying to say." She says looking down at her hands that she's fidgeting with again.

"It's ok I understand, but I'm here as promised. That's one thing you'll learn about me quickly. I never break a promise my angel. By the way do you mind if I change the sheets on your bed?" Yes I know that wasn't very subtle, but Edward's scent is really starting to bother me.

"Umm sure I don't care." She says still not looking at me. Smiling I stand up and walk towards her and gently place my hand making her look at me.

"Another thing you will learn about me quickly is that I like eye contact especially with someone with eyes as beautiful as yours." She started to blush bright red and I couldn't help but laugh. Then I remembered the sheets and I quickly made work of changing them so Bella could lie down and hopefully I could too.

"There all done." I say smiling at her as I put the other set in her hamper. I'm going to so wash those myself the first chance I get.

"Thank you," she whispers still looking down.

"You're welcome and what did I say about eye contact?" I say just to mess with her.

"Sorry," she says looking me in the eye this time.

"Ah much better," I say smiling. "You know you can lie down if you want. It's been a long day for you so I understand if you want to take a nap."

"Are you going to leave?" She asks with fear in her eyes.

"Not if you don't want me to."

"Would you please stay? I don't want to be alone right now." She whispers looking down again.

Quietly I walk over to her bed and lie down and open my arms for her. "Come on you need to sleep and I have nowhere else to be. So we're going to take a nap together."

"But I thought vampires didn't sleep?" She said me looking confused with a little head tilt like a confused puppy.

"We don't, but that doesn't mean I can't lie here and pretend. Now come on my arms are getting tired."

"No they're not. Vampires don't get tired." Bella says with a smile as she slowly crawls into my arms.

"True, but hey it got you into bed with me didn't it." I say as I gently wrap my arms around her waist and pull her closer.

"Shut up I'm tired and vampires make very good pillows. He used to be my pillow every night." She said sadly as she gripped my arm tighter at the thought of Edward.

"Let's not think about it for right now. We can talk when you wake up ok, and I promise I'll be here when you do." I say as I gently start to rub her side to sooth her.

"Thank you Tanya." She whispers as she starts to drift off.

"Anytime my angel," I whisper as I close my eyes and pretend to sleep.

A/N 2: I know it's been awhile, but I finally updated. Yay! I hope y'all don't hate me too much.
