At the sight of Derek forcing himself on Bella, my Bella, I cracked.
Derek was too surprised to stand up and defend himself or shield himself cowardly with Bella again. I threw myself at my enemy and the two of us tumbled on the floor. Behind me, I heard Bella sob into the arms of Esme.
"You're safe now, nothing's going to happen…" She whispered.
Just as I delivered a heavy blow to Derek's head, his fingers wrapped around my neck and began to tighten. An angry hiss escaped from his lips. But suddenly, Jasper and Emmett lunged at Derek, pulling him off of me. Carlisle also joined in. With four vampires against one, Derek knew he was lost. With a bitter howl, he breathed his last. Satisfied, I went immediately to my girlfriend, taking her from Esme's arms.
"Bella! Are you alright? I'm sorry, so, so, sorry…" I pushed my face into her strawberry scented hair.
"It's okay, Edward…" Bella snuggled herself into my chest, arms wrapped around my torso and I bent down to touch her lips with mine.
That had been a week ago. We had burned Derek's body and we knew that never again he would come and try to take Bella away again.
"I'm sorry I had to hurt you like that, Edward. It's in Derek's power! He can also control…"
I put a finger on her delicious lips gently to stop her.
"It's okay, Bella. I know. And it was never your fault, never doubt that."
We were alone in my room on top of my bed. We needed to catch up.
"I know it wasn't Edward, but I felt as if it were,"
"Well it is my fault to be a horrible boyfriend, to not be able to protect you!"
"Don't be so hard on yourself, Edward."
"I'm so sorry. You have no idea…"
"And I forgive you. Thank you for saving me."
"I love you so much Bella,"
"And I love you."
