"Bella? Bella, can you hear me?" A worried voice was asking. "Bella please honey wake up!" This was someone that I didn't recognize; it was a raspy female voice.

"I think she is coming around." I recognized that voice, although it was not who I wanted to hear. Slowly I opened my eyes and looked for Edward but only say Mike and Mrs. Dupan, the school nurse.

"Bella, honey how do you feel?"

"My head hurts, but other then…" I tried to sit up when I was over come with dizziness, so I lay back down.

"Why don't you just stay here till the end of school, there is only about thirty minutes left. I will let your teacher know. Bella, you hit your head pretty hard, I think that you should call your doctor when you get home." I nodded as she walked out of the room.

"Bella, what happened?" I could hear the concern in Mike's voice. It was obvious that he still had feelings for me. After thinking for a moment it all came back to me.

"My friend Jacob Black from La Push. You remember Jacob right?" He nodded, "well, he came up to see how I am doing, him and his father, Billy, were close to Charlie, and well I got upset and ran from him. I guess that's when I fell and hit my head." I slowly rubbed the forming bump on the left side of my forehead.

"Are you okay now? He didn't upset you too badly? Cause if he had…" I could tell he was getting angry with Jake, so I cut him short. "No, no it's fine Mike. We were actually talking about Edward and not Charlie." For some reason when I mentioned Edward's name he straightened up.

"Well, Bella, I…" He trailed off wondering if he should finish or not. The way he was acting made me sit up even though I should have remained lying down.

"Go on, tell me!" I had a sinking feeling I wasn't going to like what he was about to say.

"I don't want to upset you again. You have enough to deal with right now." At least Mike cared how I felt about what ever he was about to tell me. I smiled to encourage him.

"I won't get upset, tell me please."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes Mike, just tell me." I was not getting impatient, it showed in my tone but Mike didn't notice.

"Okay. I well don't think that Edward is…is bad for you." I felt myself getting now mad at him as well, what was this? Is it bash Edward day?

"What?" I did my best to keep my voice normal.

"I have told you before that he looks at you like your something to eat. And then he just ups and leaves you without any warning, or even contacting you. What's worse is you took him back, no questions asked."

"It's none of your business what happened between Edward and me!" I was shocked to hear how furious my voice sounded.

"I don't think that it is safe for you to be living with him. He doesn't treat you with any respect, and you deserve better then that Bella. He is only with you for his own needs not yours! I honestly don't think he cares at all for you." He was about to go on when he noticed that I began crying. How could he say that to me, I wanted to yell at him but nothing came out when I tried. So he continued, "You should dump him, before he hurts you anymore. Please Bella, listen to me! Edward Cullen is bad news!" I could tell there was more he wanted to say but stopped when both a furious Edward and Alice came rushing into the small room. With the way Edward looked at Mike, I knew he read his mind and knew what he had just told me and what he wanted too finish saying.

"Michel Newton! Why didn't you come and find Edward or myself after what happen to Bella?" Alice almost growled at him, which startled me. I never heard her talk that way. Mike too was shocked.

"It is our business what happens to Bella, NOT YOURS!" Edward answered his thoughts rather then his words.

"Please stop it! I can't take anymore today!" I snapped before Mike could realize what Edward did. "Thank you for bring me to the nurse and for your input. But I am not leaving him and I think that you should leave now, please Mike, don't make this worse then it already is. I am also sorry but I don't think that I will be coming back to the store. If you would just have them mail me my last paycheck. Tell them sorry for me, but it is for the best!" Now having three sets of shocked eyes on me.

"Bella, please don't, I was only…"

"Just leave! Trust me its better this way! Now leave!" I was harsher then I should have been, but I am sick of being told to stay away from Edward or any of the Cullen's, if it wasn't for them I don't know what I would do. I shuttered at that thought. For a moment Mike gave Edward a scolding look till he finally just left without another word. Alice then turned to me with concern in her dark golden eyes.

"Bella what happened?"

"Jacob and I were arguing. He was telling me that I should stay away from you and your family. I was getting angry and he could tell there was nothing he would say that would keep me away and that made him angry. By this time we were yelling, I began crying and finally ran away from him and that is when I apparently fell and hit my head." I could feel the tears forming again, but I was able to push them away.

"I should have never left you alone with that dog!" There was a growl forming in Edward's chest.

"Bella, I don't want to tell you what is safe or what is not safe, or even what to do but…"

"But what Alice?" She was beginning to worry me, was she going to agree with Jake?

"If he is more worried about telling you to stay clear of us, which is nonsense, then how you are doing, then maybe…well maybe you should just stay away from him. All he seems to be doing is making this worse on you." She said sternly but with concern as well. It was nice that she was not trying to force me into anything, unlike everyone else, Edward agreed with her.

"Guess you're right. I am tired of him trying to force me into leaving you and staying with him. Jake may be my friend, but I can live without him." Edward was not happy with that comment, he knew that I couldn't live on if he left me again, and he didn't like that, Alice just smiled. "By the way now that I think about it, you were right earlier today Alice."

"About what?" She tilted her head in confusion.

"I wasn't ready to come back here yet."

"Well, we won't come back again, until you are fully ready!" Edward added as he pulled me into his cool comforting arms.

"Thank you." I said so softly I barely herd myself, but I knew that he could still hear me.

"I will go let the receptionist know that we all will be taking a leave of absence, and to have all our work e-mailed to us. I will met you two at the car in a few." And with that Alice was out the door.

"I'm sorry I didn't find you sooner." I could hear the pain in his voice, and that hurt me.

"You're here now and that is all that matters!" I smiled and pulled away a little to see him reply with my favorite crocked smile. Then fast, but slow for him, he pulled me up and carried me to the Volvo. Alice wasn't there yet so he placed me in the car softly and then went around and got in the drivers' side. I looked into his smooth dark golden eyes, I could see that he would need to go hunting soon. But then he caught me off guard when he leaned closer to me and slowly pressed his cool lips to mine. My heart began to race like always and I was felling dizzy again. Like always he was very careful not to push to far, then slowly moved away. My heart was still racing and cheeks burned, he slowly brushed my cheek with his cool finger.

"Do I still dazzle you? I would guess so by the sound of things." He stated with a chuckle. Blushing even more as he placed his head against my chest to listen to my racing heart. Now my breathing began to speed up, I love it when we can be this close.

"Okay you two, let's go home." I jumped when I heard Alice from the backseat, I hadn't even noticed she had joined us. Edward sat up and started the car to its low purr.

"I don't think I will ever get use to that." They both laughed at my comment on their speed and gracefulness, and the fact that they were silent movers.
