"How are you feeling?" Bella asked me as she walked into my hospital room. I was a little bruised up and I had a minor concussion but I knew as soon as I saw Bella walk in, and that she was safe that it was worth it. It would have been worth it if I'd died. Billy and Harry both died at the scene of the 'accident'. I obviously didn't get into any trouble, with Charlie being chief of Police and all. It was clearly self defense.

"I'm doing well." I said as she gently sat on the bed next to me. "I'm excited to go home today." I said with a smile. I had been in the hospital for two days. Mostly it was just for testing. Internal bleeding and whiplash was a big concern. Especially for my father, who was being ultra paranoid, but I had never seen him so gleaming with pride. He was incredibly proud that I was 'smart enough to think of something like that.' Logically, we both would have died if I hadn't wrecked my car.

Bella very gently laid her head on my chest. "I love you." She whispered. Bella was happy that Billy and Harry were both dead, though now her and I both have to testify against Phil in Arizona since I'd heard Billy admit everything. She was a nervous wreck over it. I could see the pain in her eyes when she thought about facing her mother's killer. Especially now knowing that her mom and Charlie could have been happy together, and that Phil had planned on killing Bella, too. It was going to be very hard for me to not attack him in the courtroom. I couldn't imagine anyone ever wanting to hurt Bella.

"I love you, too. More than anything." I assured her. My father walked in the room.

"Are you ready to go home?" He asked stupidly. I obviously was. No one wants to stay in the hospital. I gave him a nod, and he took out my IV and handed me my clothes in a bag, then walked out. I began getting undressed when Bella came up behind me and wrapped her arms lovingly around my torso. I turned around and embraced her tightly for a few moments. I kissed her lightly on the lips then reluctantly let go so I could get my clothes on.

When I was finished I walked out only to be caught by one of the nurses with a wheelchair. It was a stupid hospital policy that patients had to leave in a wheelchair. It was so humiliating. To make things even worse Bella and Emmett were giggling at my like school girls. They knew I didn't need one.

When I finally go to my new car, a silver Volvo three years newer than the one I wrecked, Bella helped me into the passenger seat. She climbed into the driver's side. I was a little annoyed that I wasn't even going to get to drive it.

"Don't worry." Bella giggled. "As soon as your dad can't see us anymore I'm pulling over and you can drive." She said. She must have noticed the irritated expression I was trying to hide.

Bella did as she promised. She went about a half-mile down the road then parked in the shoulder so we could switch. I waited for her to get around the car so I could hold the door open for her. She smiled at me gratefully and climbed in. "Do you want to go to my house with me for a bit?" I asked hopefully.

"Of course." She answered. We got to my house in no time. I knew we were alone. Alice was out with my mom and my Dad was at work.

When we got inside we went straight up to my bedroom. I grabbed her probably more roughly than I should have, but she didn't seem to mind. I attacked her with kisses everywhere I could. Her lips, neck, cheek, collarbone. It was excruciating to have her next to me for two days and not be able to hold her or kiss her like I should.

"Edward. I think…we should…slow…down." She said in between kisses. I stopped for her. I hadn't made love to her since that night in the hotel, and I was more than eager. But I knew that I had to wait, my head and arms were already starting to hurt. Even though I was lucky, I was still injured. "I don't want you to get hurt." She told me as if she were afraid it would hurt my feelings. "Let's get on the bed." She whispered.

She took my hand and led me to the bed. I lay down on my side and held her body close to me. It was much more comfortable. She ran her fingertips up and down my spine. I leaned in and began kissing her gently. Bella's lips were so soft, and full. I could kiss them all day.

Suddenly Bella stopped and looked troubled. "What is it sweetheart?" I asked her and a placed my hand along her cheek.

"We leave in two days for Arizona." She sighed. "Have you thought about what you're going to say?" She asked. I pulled her into my chest.

"I'm going to tell the truth, love." I told her.

"I'm just nervous that he will be found legally insane." She shivered. I hated that she felt that way. I didn't know what to do to make her feel better. I was helpless. I couldn't even imagine seeing my mother die, and then having the killer running free.

"He will be, Bella. We have tons of evidence that this had been premeditated for years. It's not going to be possible for him to say that he just 'snapped'." I explained to her. "And you know I would never let anything happen to you. I promise. Please tell me you know that." I pleaded with her.

She looked up and met my gaze. "I believe you." She promised.

A/N: I owe you all like forty apologies. Remember when I talked about auditioning for that band. Well…I made it! Yay! But! We have our first gig coming up….so whenever I'm not at school, I'm rehearsing at the studio. So I'm incredibly sorry that these have been so late. After next Sunday things should be much more relaxed. And also, I'm sorry this one is short. It's just a filler so you all know what happened to Harry and Billy. Next chapter will probably be the last. Nope, no sequel for this one, so there won't be an epilogue. Review?
