A/N: I am going to keep writing as much as I can until something, like camp or work, comes up. Please read and review. : )
Bella's POV
The car ride to the police station was long and silent. The only time Edward spoke was when he whispered a recipe softly, like most people would whisper song lyrics. I would have asked him about it, except the tension was in the way.
Although we didn't speak, Edward's right hand was always on me. He would rub soothing circles on my thighs, hands, arm. A few times, he brought my hand up to his face, let it graze across his smooth skin, and kiss my knuckles before setting my hand down and rubbing circles again.
When we got there, Edward parked and jumped out of the car. He came over and opened my door. His hand took mine and he gently lifted me out of the car.
I was about to start walking towards the police station, when Edward's hands wrapped around my waist. He pulled me back to him for a sweet chaste kiss before we walked hand and hand into the police station.
The air conditioning chilled me, causing a shiver up my spine. But I wasn't sure exactly if the shiver was from the cold.
"Welcome, I take it you are Isabella." A tall, chubby police officer said.
I nodded still silent, listening to Edward recite the recipe for dark chocolate chunk cookies under his breath.
"I am Officer Kummer. We have a report by a bystander saying he saw a man trying to rape you. Is this correct?" Officer Kummer asked.
I again nodded silently, wondering why someone would see it but not do anything. I looked over at Edward who now had an angry tint in his eyes upon hearing the news.
"Well, if you follow me, we have a line up all set up for you to identify." Kummers said walking down a long grey hallway.
I followed, still holding Edward's hand that was rubbing circles again. I stopped, stood on my tiptoes, and kissed him. I wasn't sure if it was to calm me or him down, but it worked for both of us.
We walked into a room where there was a table, two chairs, and a little window. Of course it was two way glass.
"Are you okay?" Edward whispered into my ear. I nodded but then realized I was shaking.
"I'll be fine." I whispered back.
"Okay, we're ready. Who was the man that attacked you?" another officer asked me.
I looked down the line up until I saw James…
My legs felt weak. He was number five.
"Number five." I said to the officer.
"Okay. Thank you." The officer replied. We were taken out of the room and we left.

I didn't have to testify in court. The other witnesses did enough. James was charged with attempted rape and battery.
He had five to seven years in prison.
I pushed that to the back of my mind as best I could. I went to work with Edward every morning during the week.
I tried to focus on Us not the bad things that happened.
"Bella? Are you ready?" I heard Edward ask from outside the bathroom. He was going to take me to the concert for a new band I have been listening to.
"Yeah, I am coming now." I shouted through the door.
I stepped out and saw Edward looking so great in a pair of dark wash jeans and the same emerald green shirt he caught me making breakfast in about a month ago.
"I like the shirt." I said grabbing his hand and leading him towards the door.
Edward stayed put and pulled me close.
"I think it looked better on you." He said huskily, his eyes lidded. I was going to respond with something cocky and witty, but Edward pulled me in to such a passionate kiss, I forgot.
"Bella, breathe." Edward said followed by a round of chuckles.
"Come on," Edward said taking my hand and leading me towards the door.
"Okay, I am coming. A little anxious, aren't we?" I chuckled. Edward looked back at me with a glance with something I couldn't read buried into it.
We got into the car and arrived at the stadium with minimum traffic. I mean the band wasn't that popular, yet.
We dragged through the gate and got to our seats. The band started to play and Edward said something I couldn't hear over the music and left.
The band played a couple more songs and Edward still didn't come back. I saw a flash of copper hair, met with a flash of red hair. I started to get nervous.
Edward finally made his way back and grabbed my hand.
"Come on, we're going. I'll explain later." He kept pushing through the crowd until we got to his silver Volvo.
Edward started driving and talking at the same time.
"Wait; hold up, I can't tell what you are saying!" I said over him.
"Bella, I am so sorry, love. Tanya somehow found out we were going to this concert. I told her off, but I don't know what she's capable of, so I though it would be better if we leave." He said, fast, but slow enough for me to catch it.
"I'm sorry. I never wanted tonight to end up like this." Edward started saying. His eyes held something that he was holding back.
"What do you mean? It was fun until we had to leave. You did it for a good reason. Relax." I said hoping to calm Edward down.
"Bella, I love you. And…" Edward trailed off.
"I love you too Edward. Now tell me, you're making me nervous." I said honestly.
"I want you to move in with me. I know it has only been about two months, but I feel this going somewhere." He said before looking over to me.
"Yes," I answered feeling all the breathe I had in me disappear.
