I saw Isabella with tears pouring down her face. I looked and my clock said it was three o'clock in the morning.

I jumped out of bed, ran to her and pulled her to me as tightly as I could without hurting her. The moment my arms were around her the tears flowed relentlessly. I picked her up and cared her back to her room laying her gently on her bed. I sat beside her and she rested her head on my lap while I had one arm around her head rubbing her hair out of her face continuously and the other arm wrapped around her back.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you. I shouldn't have, I just couldn't..." I cut her off

"Shhhh. None of that. It is perfectly alright Isabella. I'm glad you woke me. I wouldn't want you in here alone like this. Do you want to tell me what this is about or do you need a moment?" I already knew what it was about, I didn't need to ask. It was her mother.

"I'm so scared Edward."

"About what?"

"My mother, what if she caught that disease? People are dying from it!"

"It will be alright Isabella. I know you are afraid, and can I tell you a secret?" She looked at me and nodded. "I'm a bit afraid myself. But you shouldn't be allow yourself to be this upset. I am sure your mother is well. Please, do not fret."

Her tears have slowed considerably but they were still building behind her eyes.

"Please don't leave me tonight. I cannot go back to sleep. I had a terrible nightmare and I don't want to see it again, Edward please stay with me."

"Is that what made you afraid?"

"Yes. That is what my dream was about."

"I will not leave you. I never will, I promise you this." A moment later she fell asleep in my arms.

I knew Isabella was crying too loud for no one to notice, my mother looked into the room and saw me there with her in my arms. For a moment I was afraid she would be angry but she gave me a sympathetic smile.

"Poor thing. She must be worried sick."

"She is Mother."

"I'll leave you now." She started to walk out but stopped "And Edward?" I looked towards her "I am very proud of you."

She didn't have to elaborate. I knew what she meant. She was surprised at how well I tended to Isabella and for being to her what I was. She could see the love in my eyes every second I spent with Isabella. She even told me she knew I would marry her one day. That was the moment I decided I would do what it took, no matter what, to take Isabella for myself, have her as my bride. I could not live without her. I would give my life for her.

The next morning I woke to Isabella moving inside my arms trying to get free.

"Good morning Isabella."

"Edward I'm so sorry for last night. I didn't mean..."

"No" I said cutting her off again. "Do not apologize. I am honored you trusted in me enough to come to me."

"Of course I do. Over the past two days how could I do anything but trust you. You have offered me a place to stay so I would not be afraid if I were to be alone."

"Would you like to return to your home after school today as well? I would love to take you again if you are interested."

"I am highly interested."

"It's a date then" I turned and winked at her. My heart fluttered. I have never done that to a lady before, I hope she didn't think of me rudely for doing so.

After the morning meal Isabella and I were walking to school. We were almost there when a boy that was laughing obnoxiously loud and smelled of cigarette smoke, plowed into Isabella and took off running. I had to catch her before she fell. I almost yelled something that I have never said, or even thought in a lady's presence but it didn't stop me from shouting them in my mind.

"Are you alright Isabella? Did he hurt you?" She shook her head no but I was getting angry."You need to watch were you are going Albert!"

"Excuse me Eddie?" Albert turned and stared back at me. I didn't mind. I knew I could take him even though he was big for his age, I was too though. I knew how to handle myself very well so I held a higher shot at winning.

"I said you need to watch where you are going." I said in a low voice almost a growl. I stepped closer to him and glared. He stepped back and tried to hide his fear from the watching crowd.

"Whatever Eddie."

"That really wasn't necessary Edward." Isabella said after Albert ran inside.

"Yes it was. He could have hurt you."

"But he didn't"

"Please, Isabella, if you ever see him when you are alone, you have to promise me you will find me or at least a group of people. He is not a gentlemen in the least.

"Edward it's okay..." I cut her off again. I felt bad, I did that a lot.

"Isabella. I need you to promise me."

"Alright. I promise."

"Thank you. Join me to class?" She took my arm.

School was finally out for the day and Albert apparently stayed clear of Isabella. He would continue if he didn't want a broken wrist.

I escorted Isabella to her house once more and for the first time since she lost her mother I was actually praying she was there I hated seeing my Bella in pain. Wait...my Bella? What is that about? I pushed the thought from my head as we entered her home.

She called me over and there was a note on the table replacing her own but there was no one in sight.
