Chapter 14 He has her

BPOV

I woke up the next morning restless and tired. I may have passed out when I walked into my room last night, but I couldn't sleep well. I kept dreaming about Edward and our argument over and over. I hardly ever spoke to him and he doesn't speak to me at all so I don't know what happened last night. I got up and dressed quickly so that I could talk to Charlie. As I finishing getting ready I heard a car pull up into the driveway and looked out the window.

I saw his Volvo parked in my driveway. What the hell is he doing here? I hurried down the stairs trying not to fall. When I made it to the door I saw him standing and talking to Charlie. He shot a quick glance over at me before walking to his car. My knees went weak when I looked at his face.

"Bye Edward," Charlie said as he pulled out. Edward in return threw his hand out the window back at Charlie.

"What was Dr. Cullen doing here," I asked Charlie.

"He said that you forgot your bag," Charlie said. "He was afraid that you might need it before you go in."

"That was nice of him," I said to Charlie. He handed me my bag, and I was trying to digest all of this.

"You know I kind of feel bad for the boy," he said walking to his car.

"Why is that," I asked.

"He was adopted by Carlisle when he was young," he said. I already knew that but he wasn't finished talking. "Rumor has it around town that he is always trying to prove himself to Carlisle. That because he is trying to prove himself, he is alone."

"I didn't know that," I said lying. I knew the first half of what Charlie said but the second part I had no clue.

"Have a good day at work," he said.

"Ok," I said.

"Wait," he said getting my attention. "I'm going over to Waylon's tonight. So I won't be home until late."

"Alright," I said. "Have a good day."

When he pulled out of the driveway, I went into the house. I still had plenty of time before I went in. I put my bag on the table, while I grabbed some breakfast. What made him come to my house? I just couldn't understand him. One minute he is cold and hating me and the next he is my knight in shinning armor. I opened my bag to see if everything was still there. I found that everything was still there and a piece of paper on the very top. I picked it up and there was a note written in his handwriting.

Bella,

You asked what my problem was and I answered harshly. I'm sorry for how I've acted towards you. I just think that it would be best for the both of us, not to be friends. For your information I helped you because no one should have to go through that.

Sincerely,

Edward Cullen

Really! What is with this guy? I refolded the note and put it in my pocket. I grabbed my bag and headed out the door. I started my truck and drove to the hospital. I turned on the radio to see if there was anything good on. The only station that I could get to come through was the news.

"Another animal attack has happened this time twenty miles north of Seattle," the news guy said. Great, Charlie is going to be uptight until this animal is caught. "All campers and hikers are to be on the lookout for anything strange and/or unusual to police or gaming patrol." I flipped the radio off and parked my truck.

I saw Carlisle's car parked outside the emergency room door. I could be nice and walk through to say hello. Edward didn't say I wasn't allowed to talk to the rest of his family just him. I stood there and weighed out my pros and cons. The pro I would be able to talk to Carlisle. The cons could go on forever. The top three were seeing Jessica, Mike, and Lauren. Today I decided to go for the pro, and walked through the emergency room door.

"Morning Bella," I heard a males voice say. I could have jumped out of my skin. I didn't because I knew that voice that sounded like velvet to my ears.

"Good morning, Dr. Cullen," I said turning around.

"Please call me Carlisle," he said. "One of the nurse's said you were looking for me a couple of days ago."

"Yes," I said. "I wanted you to thank Dr. Cullen for me."

"You mean Edward," he said with a grin.

"Yes," I told him.

"Is everything ok, Bella," he said looking concerned.

"Yes everything is okay," I said. "I locked my keys in the office the other day. He helped me open the door. I haven't seen him since to thank him."

"I will relay the message to him," he said.

"Thanks Carlisle," I said. "Have a good day."

"Bye Bella," he said going back to his charts.

I couldn't tell Carlisle the truth. All I know Edward probably never told anyone what happened. I couldn't blame him, I wouldn't tell anyone either. I dropped my bag off in the office before heading into the pharmacy.

"Morning Bella," Mary said when I walked in.

"Morning," I told her.

"How was evening shift," she asked,

"Extremely slow," I told her.

"At least there was a perk to working last night," she said giggling. She was acting as if we were in grade school again.

"What perk would that be," I asked her while I was checking scripts.

"You were alone with Edward," she said grinning.

"So," I told her. "We didn't speak to each other."

"What are you crazy," she said astonished. "You gave away every girls dream here."

"Like I said before," I started to say. "I'm not like all the other girls here."

"Come on Bella," Mary said. "I've known you for about a week let loose a little why don't you."

"I just never have," I said. I wanted to say more but the door opened and Mr. Webber walked in.

"Morning girls," he said.

"Morning," we both said.

"Bella," he said. "There is a drug rep dinner tonight."

"Ok," I said. "Where is it going to be held."

"The Bloated Frog in Port Angeles," he said. Of course they never could have them here in Forks. There was no where to eat except Cora's Café. "I was wondering if you could stay and cover for Eric."

"Sure," I said. I was a little disappointed that I wasn't going. I knew that there would be plenty more to come.

"Thanks Bella," he said.

I went over to the main hub and logged in. Mary was telling me all about a trip her and her friends were planning to take. I tried to listen to her but my mind was drifting away to Edward. His mood swings could give a person whiplash. I should know because that's how I felt. After a few minutes Mary got busy enough that she stopped talking. I took that time to call Charlie and tell him about working a double. I would hate to see his reaction when he came home and I wasn't.

"Chief Swan," I said. I waited a few minutes before he picked up.

"Chief Swan," he said.

"Dad," I said.

"Is everything ok Bells," he asked.

"Yeah dad," I said. "I have to work a double today."

"Okay," he said. "Do you still have the pepper spray."

"Yes dad," I said.

"Be careful," he said and he hung up the phone. My morning was dragging and it seemed as if it would never end. I was happy when I glanced up at the clock and it was almost noon.

"Bella," Mr. Webber said. "Take the rest of the afternoon off. Since you staying later."

"Ok," I said shocked. "I'll just be in my office."

"Are you sure," he asked.

"Yeah," I told him.

I logged out of the computer and told everyone bye. When I got into my office, I locked the door behind me. I didn't want anyone else coming in here. I set the alarm on my phone for four o'clock in the afternoon and made a make shift bed in the floor. I didn't realize how tired I was until I laid down. The next thing I remembered was that I was in a meadow by myself. I was standing there surrounded by wild flowers of every color. I looked over towards the tree line and saw him. Edward was standing there smiling with a grin that I had never seen. He was starting out towards me, and I jumped up.

*******Bang bang bang********

"Shit," I said when I sat up. I looked down at my phone and it said 3:30pm.

"Open up Arizona," Mike yelled banging on my door. What the hell did he want? I just sat there with my knees curled up to my chest.

"I know you're in there," he said. "I saw your truck in the parking lot."

I just sat there wishing that he would leave.

"Arizona you got away from me once and it won't happen again," he said with a promise in his voice. "Mark my word."

After a couple of minutes it was over. I got up and brushed my clothes off. I wanted to break down and cry. I was scared and no idea what to do. I had to put that to the back of my mind at the present time. I unlocked the door and grabbed my bag. I opened the door and looked up and down the hall to make sure Mike wasn't waiting for me. I saw that he wasn't there so I went on into the pharmacy.

"How was your afternoon," Mary asked.

"Refreshing ," I responded.

"I can tell," she said laughing. "It looks as if you slept

"I feel asleep for a few minutes," I said. "How was the rest of your day?"

"Very long and boring," she said. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye," I told her when she was leaving.

"Thanks again," Mr. Webber said.

"It's ok," I told him.

"I'll see you in the morning," he said walking out the door.

After he left I logged into the computer and worked on the few scripts that were waiting for me. I had the urge to call Charlie and tell him about Mike. I didn't want him to worry and over react. I would be afraid that he would send one of his officers out here to watch over me all night. Sometimes he is worse than mom when it came to overreacting I got lost in my thoughts and didn't notice Alice walk in.

"Hi Bella," she said getting my attention.

"Oh hi Alice," I told her.

"I'm sorry about my jerk of a brother," she said taking a seat.

"It's ok," I told her.

"He's never like that. He told me what happened," she said. "So he had me bring these to you."

She handed me a beautiful bouquet of baby roses and freesias. They smelled wonderful and I was caught off guard. There was a feeling in the pit of my stomach that they were from Alice and not from him. I didn't want to say anything.

"Tell him thank you for me," I said to her.

"I will," she said. "Bella are you okay?"

"I'm fine," I told her.

"I may have just met you but I know that something is wrong," she said.

"It's this guy that works here, he won't leave me alone," I said. I can't believe that I poured that out to her. Like she said we just met but I feel like we could be almost sisters.

"Have you told anyone," she said looking concerned.

"No," I told her. "It will pass and end soon."

"Excuse me for a just a second," she said turning to answer her phone. I didn't hear it ring, she must have it on vibrate. "I'll be there in five minutes."

"Is everything ok," I ask her when she hung her phone up.

"The flowers aren't at this wedding that I am doing tonight," she said. "The bride is totally freaking out."

"I hope to talk to you again," I told her.

"Here is my cell," she said handing me one of her business cards. "Call me anytime."

"Thanks," I told her.

"Bella please tell someone about what is going on," she said grabbing her bag.

"I will," I told her. "Bye Alice."

"Bye Bella," she told me.

I sat there and thought about what she said. I should probably tell someone, but I won't. Instead I looked at the flowers and decided to pay the favor back to Edward. He wrote me a note so I would write him one.

Dr. Cullen,

Thank you for returning my bag to me. That was very thoughtful of you. I believe what your sister says about you, and how you aren't like that person I saw last night. Thank you so much for the flowers they are beautiful.

Dr. Swan

I sat there looking at the note over and over. After the one millionth time reading it, I folded it up and placed it on the computer. I'm sure he would find it later on tonight. I looked at the clock and saw that I only had four hours left. I dug my book out of my bag and started reading. I was at the part where Elinor has to tell Marianne that she knew about Edward's engagement to Lucy. I don't know what it is with me and reading but I always seem to loose track of time. I heard the door shut and saw Edward walk in. Once again he didn't speak to me and I didn't let it bother me.

"Dr. Swan," he said. "I would like to apologize for being rude, but it's best for right now."

"I don't care anymore," I said grabbing my bag. "I just wish that you have given me a chance. I guess that I wasn't good enough for that, a chance."

"It's not that your not good," he said. I was getting confused by now myself from listening to him. "It's just what if I'm the bad guy in the situation."

"You're not," I said. "I believe what your sister said to me."

I didn't give him the chance to answer instead I walked out the door. I was proud of myself for the way I handled myself with Edward. When I made it to my truck I started fishing for my keys. That's when i felt someone push me up against my truck. I tried to fight back but I couldn't turn around to make any type of move.

"I told you I would get you," the voice said. I knew right there and then that it was Mike. I wanted so badly to scream for help, but it was no use.

"There's no one here to help you this time," he said.

"Let me go," I told him.

"You owe me, Arizona," he said. "No one gets away from me. I mean no one."

He had my hair pulling my head back towards his face. I could feel his breath trickle down my neck, and I was scared. I remembered that I had pepper spray in my bag, but I dropped it on the ground. I felt his hand come across my face and try to turn it so that it would face his. When his arm came across my mouth I bite him with all my might. He let me go and I tried to run to the hospital entrance. Why did I park so far from the main entrance

"I don't think so you little tease," he said grabbing me and pulling me to the ground. "You have put me off long enough."

"Your nothing but a coward," I told him. He hit me but I didn't flinch. He was overtop of me and I was pushing so hard to get him off of me.

The next few minutes were like a blur to me. I remember a shadow coming over the two of us and Mike being lifted off of me. I tried to get up so that I could away. Before I made it all the way to my feet I fell and passed out. The next thing I remember was being picked up by my "guardian angel" to take to me heaven. When I opened my eyes I was shocked to see who it was.

"Edward," I said as he carried away.

EPOV

While I sat there thinking about how to fix my screw up. I couldn't believe what I did to her. I was in love with her but I couldn't tell her all I could do was hurt her. I decided to write her a note and place it in her bag.

Bella,

Sincerely,

Edward Cullen

I could have sat there and wrote to her about my deepest feelings, but that would never happen. I just wanted her to stay alive and happy. Even if that meant myself being alone and broken hearted. I folded the letter and placed it on the top of her bag. The evening went by rather quickly and I was happy. I just hoped that I was ready for the next part of my plan. When I got into my car I was worried about going to her house and talking to her dad. I drove there and was lucky to find out that I didn't have to knock on the door. I saw Chief Swan leaving the front door, and I pulled up behind Bella's truck. When i got out of the car I made sure that I was presentable and had her bag.

"Chief Swan," I said. "I'm Edward Cullen I work with Bella."

"Carlisle's boy," he said. "It's nice to meet you. How can I help you?"

"Bella left her bag at work last night," I started with. "I was afraid that she might have needed it before she went in."

"That was very thoughtful," he said as I handed him the bag.

"I had better let you get going," I told him. "It was nice to meet you."

As I finished speaking to him, Bella came out of the house. I shot her a quick glance and our eyes met for only a second. I stopped looking at her and headed for my car.

"Bye Edward," Charlie said as I pulled out. I in return threw my hand out the window back at Charlie. I drove home knowing that I would have to talk to Alice.

The drive home didn't take to long and I was happy to be going home. When I pulled into the garage I saw Esme and Rosalie packing up their car.

"Edward," Esme said. "Have you talked to Bella yet."

"Sort of," I told her looking down at the ground.

"Esme," Rosalie said. "Alice didn't tell you."

"Tell me what Rose," she said. I was up shit creek without a paddle now.

"He decided to show his ass off to her again," she said smiling.

"Edward," she said sternly. "I thought you had decided to go about this another way."

I dare you to threaten Emmett or myself again, she thought grinning.

"Rosalie, butt the hell out of my business," I said looking at her. I turned and focused myself on Esme. "I went over to her house this morning and talked to her father."

"That's a start," she said. "Rose, lets go."

*******Buzzzzz, Buzzzzz*******

"Yes Carlisle," I said as Esme pulled out of the garage. "She wanted you to tell me thanks. I remember that I helped her get into her office after she locked the keys in it."

"Thanks for relaying the message," I told him and hung up the phone.

After I hung up the phone I thought about what Bella said to Carlisle. She never locked her keys in her office. Then it hit me she was thanking for the Mike situation. She hadn't told anyone the truth. Any other person would have gone running to the police to fill a report, but not her. Alice met me on the front porch eager to speak, and I let my thoughts die for the present time.

"That was a start," she said. I had no clue what she was talking about.

It would have been better if you spoke to her and not her father, she thought.

"Alice," I said.

"I know let you take it one step at a time," she said.

"Really," I told her. "I want to do this on my own."

"Sure," she said. "You should know that she is working a double."

"Thanks," I told her. Hopefully tonight wouldn't end up like last night.

I'm going to help out just a little bit, she thought. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Nothing to over the top," I told her.

"Thank you," she said hugging me.

She disappeared and I walked into the house. I walked over to my piano and sat there. I was wandering if she read my note, or let alone found it. I wanted to know her reaction. Did she throw it away? Did she read it? If she read it, will she listen to what I said. I went ahead and played the piano for the remainder of the day. I played slow dramatic pieces, some fast-pace pieces, and the pieces that I had originally wrote and composed. I don't know what it is with me and playing the piano. I always seem to lose track of the time. The only thing I remember is Alice coming in to so me a bouquet of baby roses and freesias. It was beautiful and I hoped that she loved it. I didn't look up from my music again until Alice called me with the verdict.

"She loved them," she told me. I couldn't help but smile at the happy news.

"That's good," I said. "Where are you?"

"On my way to that wedding," she said. "The flowers haven't arrived and I have freaked out bride."

"What all was said," I asked. I wanted to know everything that said.

"We mainly talked about you," she said. Great Alice wonder what stories you told her I thought. "She's not afraid of you and she agrees with me about everything"

"Thanks," I told her.

When we hung up the phone, I played two more pieces. I played Esme's favorite piece and then I played the lullaby that I wrote for Bella. After playing those two pieces I decided to get ready for work and talk to Esme some more. I found her in the dinning room looking at fabric for one of her clients.

"Could I talk to you," I asked her.

"Of course," she said. "Is it about Bella?"

"Yes," I told her. "I don't know what to do."

"What do you mean," she said.

"I want her to know how I feel. I don't want her to know the whole truth about me," I told her. "It's to the point that Alice is playing matchmaker."

"You're letting Alice do that," she said trying not to laugh.

"She said that she didn't want me to screw it up," I said now laughing.

"If it's meant to be," she told me. "Then it will happen for the two of you."

"Thanks," I told her. I knew that Esme was right. I had to think about what her and Carlisle meant to each other. Esme first met Carlisle when she was a little girl, and then again as a young woman. The last time in her human life that he saw her, and she was dieing. He knew that he loved her so he changed her. It worked out for them and I wanted it to work for myself and Bella. I didn't want her to give up her life to be with me. So I hoped that I loved her enough to keep her human.

"Have a good night," she told me.

I walked out of the house and headed to the garage. I noticed that there was a piece of paper stuck under my windshield wiper. I took it off my windshield and read it:

Edward,

Bella is leaving you a note on the main computer hub.

-Alice

She wrote me back, and I couldn't believe it. On my drive to the hospital I kept thinking about how she might have responded. I didn't care if she was hateful and mean or sweet. I was just amazed at the fact that she wrote me back. I pulled into the hospital parking lot, and parked right beside her truck. When I walked into the pharmacy I saw her sitting in the chair reading. Her book looked as if it had been read a dozen times. I shut the door and walked over to my desk. I didn't speak to her and it looked as if she didn't care.

"Dr. Swan," I said. "I would like to apologize for being rude, but it's best for right now."

"I don't care anymore," she said grabbing her bag. "I just wish that you have given me a chance. I guess that I wasn't good enough for that, a chance."

"It's not that your not good," I said. I wish that I could tell her the truth. "It's just what if I'm the bad guy in the situation."

"You're not," she said. "I believe what your sister said to me."

She walked out of the pharmacy after saying that. At least we didn't say anything hateful to each other. I walked over to the main hub, and picked up the note she left me. Before I could start to read it the phone rang.

"Mike has Bella," Alice said when I picked up the phone and I dropped the note.

That was all I needed to hear and I was off. I had to use my "human speed" leaving the hospital so that no one saw me and I didn't like that. I just hoped that I got to her before anything happened. When I made it to the doors I saw what was going on.

"Your nothing but a coward," she told him. He hit her but she didn't flinch. He was overtop of her and she was pushing so hard to get him off of her.

I wanted to kill him, and I told him that I would the first time he laid his hands on her. By now I was able to use my normal speed, and made it over to them quickly. I grabbed him by the shirt collar and threw him off of her. She didn't have a clue what was going on. She tired to get up and get away but fell.

"I told you to leave her alone," I told him when he came charging at me. I moved to the side and he ran into a parked car.

"This has nothing to do with you," he said. He was in a fighters stance and I knew that I had to be gentle with him. He came back at me and I swung at him and hit him. He staggered and came back for more.

"Newton I'm not afraid to hurt you," I told him.

"You couldn't hurt a fly," he said laughing. He wouldn't stop coming at me. I hit him one more time and he finally hit the ground.

I looked over and saw Bella still laying on the ground where she fell. I walked over to her truck to see if I could find her phone. I didn't find it but I saw the flowers that "I" gave her scattered on the parking lot. I had to control my anger, Mike had better be happy that I didn't kill him. I went over to make sure he was breathing, and unluckily he still was. I then went over to Bella, and checked on her. She was still breathing and I could tell that she was going to bruise. I could smell the blood pulsating under her skin. While I was looking at her I saw a small amount of blood at the corner of her mouth.

I turned my head and took a deep breath holding it. I carefully picked her and cradled her against me. She opened her eyes and looked at me as if I was some sort of an angel. That's when she spoke, she said one word. With that one word, my world changed and I knew that she was now apart of my life.

"Edward," she said as I carried away.
