So, I pretty much love and hate this chapter. As always, I'm sorry for the late update. But, I told myself I'd update today, and I have a lot on my mind, which is why it's not that good. Please tell me what you think. Don't sugar coat anything. I need to know if I'm doing something wrong. Hhaha.

I'd also like to thank all my reviewers, people who have favorited the story and me, and everyone who added this to their alerts. You guys are awesome! :D

After I regained my composure after kissing Edward, I jumped off the couch and practically ran over to Alice who was standing in the doorway, still trying to catch her breath.

"Alice," I said frantically, "what happened?"

"Your stuff. It's ruined," she whispered. It took me a second to completely register what she had said. But, when I did, I felt like breaking down in tears. Sure, some of my stuff wasn't that important, but it was still mine. And the fact that he would ruin in, and then make it noticeable to everyone hurt, a lot.

"Bella," Edward said as he walked up behind me. He lightly placed his hand on my hip and pulled me into his chest.

"I can't go there. He's obviously angry, and my going there would only upset the situation. Who knows what else he'll do?" I was honestly scared to go there.

"I'll go with you, Bella. Nothing will happen to you," Edward assured me.

"I will just wait until he calms down a bit. I'd also like to take Emmet with me. James is never an ass with him around." I laughed lightly, trying to ease the mood, but it didn't work.

"I can go with you tomorrow if you'd like. I know I'm not your brother, but I think it'd be best to get the rest of your things before he goes crazy again," Edward said. I leaned into his chest and thought about it for a second. Maybe I could get him and Emmet to go. It'd be kind of weird to have my boyfriend and my brother to meet in such a crappy situation, but they had to meet sometime.

"I would like that. I think I'm going to call Emmet and see if he'd like to go as well." I felt Edward stiffen behind me, and I turned my head slightly to see a worried look on his face. He quickly returned back to normal, before it was even more noticeable.

"So, I know this is kind of random, but are you two dating?" Alice asked. Leave it up to Alice to break the ice with such an off topic question.

"Yes, we are," Edward answered proudly. I couldn't help but smile. Being able to say that I was his girlfriend was a great feeling.

"Aww. How cute!" Alice squealed.

"Thanks, Alice." I knew once Edward left I would be getting the third degree from her. She was bound to ask questions about everything, some topics that were pretty embarrassing. I could feel myself blush just thinking about what was to come.

"Well, I have a date to go to. Bella, I'm really sorry about what happened." She walked towards me and gave me a tight hug. What happened tonight was going to be another thing she'd want to talk about.

"It's okay, Alice," I said against her hair. "But who have you been going out with?" I asked. She never really talked about him, and I never really asked. But, they seemed to be getting pretty serious.

"His name is Jasper. I think he's going to come over here in a couple of days so you guys can meet. Edward, you should come too, and we can call Emmet and have him bring that woman he was talking about." I had to smile at her enthusiasm. Something that would originate as one person meeting another, turned into a party in the matter of five seconds.

"That sounds like fun," I told her.

"Yay!" she said, clapping her hands together.

As she ran down the hallway towards her room, I had to laugh. I loved Alice, and all of her little kid ways.

"So, I get to meet your brother?" Edward asked

"Only if you want to," I told him as I turned around to face him.

"Of course I do," he told me. He pulled me closer to his chest.

"Thank you, Edward." I stretched up on my tip toes to give him a light kiss.

"Bella, I wanted to ask you something. I understand if you say no, but after tonight I'm kind of worried."

"What's wrong?" I asked frantically. He probably wanted nothing to do with me. I mean, I didn't blame him. Who wanted to date a girl with a psycho ex?

"Don't worry, love. It's nothing bad. I was just wondering if you would mind if I stayed here, like for the night. I can sleep on the couch, but I'd feel better if I knew that you had someone making sure you were safe," he told me. I felt my stomach doing flips. Of course I wanted him to stay, but he would not be sleeping on the couch.

"Of course, Edward. I'd love for you to stay," I answered giving him a sexy smile. He returned it with one of his own, and I thought I was going to faint.

"Am I going to have to sleep on the couch?" he asked in a husky voice. He stepped closer to me and his eyes were burning a whole through me.

"That depends," I answered weakly.

"On what, my love?"

"On if you're good. I don't usually 'sleep' with anyone this soon. I might make an exception for you though."

"I'll behave," he promised.

"Okay, then." I smiled a huge, dorky smile as I thought of Edward sleeping in my bed with me.

"Bella, I wanted to tell you something. I'm moving so fast right now, but it's impossible for me to slow down." All of the sudden, he was nervous. I could see it in his face and hear it in his voice.

"What?" I questioned.

"Please, don't answer me because you think you have to. It's just that ever since I saw you that night, so hurt and broken, but still so strong, I knew there was something different about you. And then, after spending just five minutes with you, I knew I was right. What I'm trying to say is, though we haven't even been a real couple for two days, I've felt this way ever since I laid eyes on you. Bella, I. . . I lo. . . I love you," he said.

My world started spinning. He couldn't be serious. I knew that I was feeling something, something strong, and I knew that I could call it love, but how could he feel the same way? I was so normal compared to him.

But then I looked into his eyes and saw so much emotion, I knew he wasn't lying.

"I love you, too, Edward." I replied.

No matter how much chaos was in my life at the moment, I had one thing keeping me sane, and that was Edward Cullen.

The man I loved.

Next chapter won't be as lovey. Edward and Emmet meet. Dun dun dun. Hahha.
