'Bella, Charlie's not doing so well at the hospital. We're going to have to keep him for a while longer. It seems that when he was in the crash he sustained some heart problems that just became apparent yesterday' I clutched Edward's hand and was able to keep myself from crying.
'How long are you going to keep him there' Edward asked on my behalf. I was barely able to breath, let alone speak.
'About three to four weeks' a single tear streamed out of my eyes. I was scared that I may never get to see Charlie again.
'Ok, thanks Carlisle' Edward said. Carlisle nodded and then left. Edward wrapped his arms around me and held me tightly against his chest. I cried against his shirt and he ran his fingers through my hair, muttering things against my hair.
'I'm scared Edward' I said when I finally regained myself. I didn't leave my spot on his chest and he continued to stroke my hair.
'It's ok Bella. Carlisle's an excellent doctor. He won't let anything happen to Charlie. I promise' he kissed the top of my head and I suddenly felt better.
'I love you' it felt so right saying that to him. I really did love him. More than he would ever know.
'I love you too' he whispered into my hair. It meant so much more coming from him then it did coming from Jacob. I mean, I liked Jacob, a lot, but I could never love him like this. This love was special.
'I think it's time for you to go to sleep Bella' Edward whispered. I shook my head but as I did that a huge yawn escaped my mouth.
Edward smiled and scooped me up into his arms. He kissed my forehead and carried me into my room. He set me down on the floor and left the room so I could change and when I finished he came back in. He picked me up and laid me down on the bed.
'Are you going to sleep here tonight?' I asked. He sat down next to me and stroked my cheek.
'I'm sorry Bella, I don't have to sleep anymore, but if you like, I'll lay here with you until you fall asleep' I nodded and he moved to the other side of the bed and laid next to me. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me against his chest. Within minutes I fell asleep.
The next morning I woke up and Edward was gone. I didn't panic because I had a feeling he wasn't far. I slowly stretched out my arms and then I climbed out of bed. I ran into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I came back and changed into a pair of jeans with holes in them and a linkin park tank top. I put on a stud belt and I ran downstairs. Edward was sitting on the couch and when he saw me he quickly stood up and ran over to me.
'Good morning beautiful' he said as he let go of me. I smiled and he kissed me.
'And good morning to you too' he smiled and then he started to pull me into the kitchen.
'Time for the little human to eat' he said. He made me sit down at the kitchen table as he went and got me a bowl of cereal.
'Aren't you going to eat?' I asked as he set down the bowl in front of me. I took a bite and he just smiled at me.
'I don't have to eat silly' he said as he twirled a strand of my hair around his finger. I finished chewing my cereal and then I let out a little laugh.
'Wow, you don't have to eat or sleep. You must have a lot of free time' he smiled and nodded. When I finished my cereal he took my bowl and put it in the dishwasher.
'I want to show you something' he said as he picked me up and carried me into the living room. He carried me over to the piano and set me down on the piano bench.
'I've already seen your piano Edward. You've had it since we were kids, remember?' he just smiled and sat down next to me.
'I know that. I want to show you a song I wrote for you' I looked at him and couldn't help but smile one of the biggest smiles I've ever smiled. Wow, too many smiles in one sentence.
'You wrote me a song' I refrained myself from screaming 'Aw' and pinching his cheeks. I just felt my face get warm and I quickly looked away.
'Yeah, I worked all night on it' I guess he looked away also because he started to play. The music filled the room and it was very soothing. It almost made me fall asleep. I leaned my head on Edward's shoulder and let the music fill me. It was so relaxing.
When he finished he lifted my head off of his shoulder and he looked at me. His eyes were filled with so much love that it made my heart race. He smiled and then placed his ear where my heart was. I stiffened and my heart raced even faster.
'Bella, you're smell so delicious' he said when he brought his face back in front of mine. He smiled and then he pressed his lips to mine. I restrained myself but it was really hard.
'Edward, I need to talk to--' Edward and I both looked at the stairs and Rosalie was staring at me with rage and hate very apparent in her eyes. She looked at Edward and then she stormed off.
'You should go talk to her' I said. He looked at me for a second but I just smiled.
'Are you sure Bella?' he didn't seem to think that I was ok with it. I just laughed and nodded my head. It would give me some time to talk to Alice, I hadn't in a while.
He nodded and then he and I walked up the stairs. I walked to Alice's room and he walked over to Emmet, and now Rosalie's room. I knocked on Alice's door and she quickly answered it.
'MAKEOVER' she screamed. I suddenly regretted coming and seeing her. She pulled me into her room and I was doomed.
She pulled me into her bathroom and locked the door. She forced me into a chair and she began to pull at, twist, and do things to my hair. When she was finished she moved to doing my makeup. I never wore makeup so this was a new thing for me. She put on eyeliner, lipstick, lip gloss, blush, and some weird stuff that I still don't know the name of.
'Finished' she said as she turned my chair around. I looked into the mirror and didn't recognize myself. I looked like someone who just stepped out of a fashion magazine. It was amazing. I didn't know I could look this good.
'I'm going to go show Edward' I said as I got out of the chair. I unlocked the door and ran out. I ran over to Rosalie's door but I didn't open it because I heard voices on the other side. I put my ear up to the door and listened.
'What do you see in her that I don't have?' Obviously that was Rosalie.
'I don't know Rosalie. She just means so much to me'
'And I didn't?'
'Of course you mean something to me Rose. Just not in that way'
'She doesn't deserve you Edward. But I do'
'You've got it backwards. I don't deserve her'
'What the hell is so great about her anyway. She's ugly, has no taste in clothing, and she's just a filthy human. You could never be with her the way you could be with me. I could give you everything and so much more. All she can give you is kisses and she can't even kiss you the way I can. She's a filthy pathetic human' I heard a loud noise that I assumed was a slap.
'HOW DARE YOU SPEAK ABOUT BELLA LIKE THAT' Edward yelled. It hurt my ears it was so loud.
'She may not be able to give me all the things that you can but there's one thing that she can give me that you will never be able to'
'What's that?'
'Her love, and that's the only love I want and that I'll accept. I've loved her since we were children. I love you like a sister Rosalie, that's it'
'I can change that' I opened the door and saw Rosalie lean in and kiss Edward. Edward tried to push her away but she was holding on to tight.
'You stupid little whore' I said. She pulled away from him and smiled, obviously thinking I had misunderstood and Edward seemed to think that too.
'Bella, I can explain' Edward said. He was panicking and I couldn't help but laugh.
'It's ok Edward. I understand that Rosalie came onto you. She kissed you. I heard the last part of your conversation in the hallway' Edward walked over to me but Rosalie grabbed his arm and tried to pull him back.
'Where do you think you're going?' she asked seductively. Edward looked at her harshly and she let go.
'Don't ever touch me again' he spat out at her. She stared at him and then she glared at me.
'She's still a pathetic human' she said. She turned around and started to walk over to her closet.
'At least I'm not an ugly whore vampire who looks and dresses like a cheap ass slut' they both looked at me with different expressions. Edward- confused and shocked. Rosalie- shocked and hate.
'What did you say to me?' I just smiled and took Edward's hand. We turned and started to walk out the doorway.
'You heard me bitch' I slammed the door behind us and took in a deep breath. That was the scariest thing I had ever done in my life.
'Bella, that was amazing. I don't think any girl would ever stand up to Rosalie like that. You're so wonderful' he picked me up and kissed my forehead. He carried me back to my room where we spent the rest of the day.
