AN: 'Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You - Muse' . Hahaha, i did not know they covered this song! It blew my mind and now i've listened to it, like, twenty times in the past two days. Is it obvious to anyone else that i'm not taking picking the chapter song seriously anymore? haha. Oh well, it's all good.

I have become obsessed with writing Edward's point of view, sorry. i promise, next chapter? It's Bella's turn.

EPOV

I awoke to the feeling of movement from beside me. I cracked my eyes open and immediately realized I was definitely not in my room. But how could I forget?

"'Morning," the beautiful girl said, covering a yawn with her hand.

"Good morning, beautiful," I replied. This caused an adorable blush to form on her cheeks. Even after just waking up, it astounded me how gorgeous Bella was able to look in the morning. My mind raced with thoughts of waking up to the sight every morning…

She stretched her arms above her head, giving me a view of her flat stomach as her shirt (she must have changed during the night) rode up. This just wasn't fair.

Her eyes widened suddenly as she gasped, "What time is it?"

My eyes snapped to the alarm clock on her bed.

"8:54am. Don't worry, it's Sunday; they won't be coming to wake us up."

A look of relief spread across her face as she continued to stretch.

"Good."

"Though I should probably get back to my own room, just in case they do catch us," I said.

"That's probably a good idea," Bella said with a small smile on her lips.

"Will you be all right?" I asked worriedly.

"Of course, Alice will probably be back soon anyway to check on me," she laughed.

"True," I smiled. I wasn't completely okay with leaving her but I knew I had to get back.

"Thank you, Edward. Again," she said quietly.

I smiled in return and kissed her lips softly, hoping it wasn't too soon after her traumatic experience. Apparently she was fine with it as Bella pressed eagerly into me to my delight.

When we broke apart Bella showed her first true smile in ten hours.

"I think…" Bella began, her face serious again, "I think I'm going to take rehab more seriously now. I mean I still haven't completely given up cocaine… I'm going to try harder now."

"What brought this on?"

"Last night…I don't know; I just want to get over this and move on with my life," she said.

I was proud of her. Mind you, part of me was thinking…well, if I have to go cold turkey on the drugs she should as well. Completely that is.

However, another part of me could only think one thing; Move on?

"I'll see you later," she said in more of a question.

"Yes," I replied confidently.

I walked back to my room probably looking like some paranoid freak, constantly looking over my shoulder for staff members. When I made it into my room I was stuck for what to do. I wasn't hungry for breakfast; it was Sunday, which meant they wouldn't be taking us anywhere; homework? Yes, I'm going to do that in my free time… right.

I decided on visiting Jasper in his room, knowing Bella was probably right and Alice had already gone back to her room to check on her. I needed to talk to someone and Jasper was quickly becoming my new closest friend.

"Hey man," Jasper greeted, looking slightly disheveled.

"Hey… uhm, can I come in? Or…" So things weren't completely comfortable with us (at least for me) but we were getting there. It had always been hard for me to warm up to people. It was odd how I could find better friends in rehab than anywhere else. Perhaps it was because they were just as messed up as I was?

"Yeah of course," Jasper said as he ushered me into the small room, closing the door behind me. "How is Bella?" he asked cautiously.

"She's…better," I said, searching for words. "A little shaken up but she seems to be as fine as one can possibly be after experiencing something like she did."

Jasper nodded his head as if in agreement. "That's good to hear. She had me and Alice worried. Good thing you were here, eh? I mean, if you hadn't…" he trailed off. I couldn't help but internally smile as Jasper practically said the exact same thing Alice had said the previous night.

"So, speaking of Alice…" I cracked a grin. Jasper looked back up to me in innocence. "Where did the two of you wander off to last night?" I inquired, arching a teasing eyebrow.

I knew something must have happened because this question made a blush appear on Jasper's cheeks. Not as predominant as Bella's blushes but it was certainly there.

"Well?" I asked feigning annoyance after Jasper remained silent. I hoped I hadn't pushed our new-friend boundaries.

"We…went for a walk," Jasper stated but a small smile played on his face.

"And?" I urged.

"I told Alice…that I loved her," Jasper said, this time in a more confident tone. "And… she returns the feelings." He had a broad grin on his face. The connection the two had astounded me. For only knowing each other for maybe two months tops they were already confessing their love for one another. And I didn't doubt their love either; it was clear in both of their eyes and their actions when they were around the other. They would be together forever. What a story to tell the grandkids, 'your grandpa and grandma met in rehab! Isn't that romantic?' Obviously to these two it was.

I could only hope that I would one day find that amount of love in someone. It didn't get past me that when I thought of this mystery woman I automatically pictured Bella. Maybe this was a story we could tell our grandchildren one day? Okay, Cullen, you're getting way too ahead of yourself there… you only just got together. This was true but a guy can hope, right?

"Wow. That's amazing," I grinned. I truly was happy for them even if I wasn't the greatest at verbally saying it.

"Yeah…" Jasper said, appearing to go off into a daydream of sort. I took this as my cue to leave.

"Well, I'll talk to you later," I began, standing up.

"Hey, wait up, I'll come with you," he called as he noticed I was leaving. "We can meet up with the girls."

I suppressed the grin creeping onto my face. This place seemed like Disney World every time Bella was even mentioned. Is that sad in any way?

Scratch that, I felt like that before we were together…if there was a greater place than Disney World? That's how I felt now that we were boyfriend and girlfriend.

"Hey, long time no see," Bella greeted me when we met Alice and Bella in the cafeteria.

"Too long," I said as I leaned in to kiss her, carefully looking out for any nosey onlookers.

"So what happened to Mike? Did the nurses buy your story?" Bella asked. I was surprised that she would mention him again but when I looked at her face closely I could tell she wanted to hear that Mike was in pain or had been removed from the center.

I think Jasper was thinking the same thing as he looked at her quizzically for a second before speaking.

"Yeah," he laughed lightly, "the pathetic excuse for a boy sat there moaning and complaining the entire time. Are you sure you weren't on the boxing team at your school, Edward?"

I smirked and shook my head.

"Anyway, I think even the nurses were finding it slightly amusing. I can't blame them. Luckily he didn't spill about what actually happened; I think he was embarrassed. Though he did spill a lot of blood, the thin bleeder," Jasper added bitterly. I could only presume that Jasper had the pleasure of getting some of Mike's blood on him. Ewe.

The four of us had been sitting in the cafeteria for no more than five minutes when someone came up behind me.

"Cullen?"

I turned around to find my Room Advisor…I forgot his name again. He didn't wait for me to acknowledge him when he continued to speak,

"Dr. Reid wants to see you in his office. Now."

Strange, I wasn't supposed to have a meeting with him today. I didn't want to see him today. I let out a heavy sigh.

"Oh, go get it over with, Edward," Alice said whilst rolling her eyes.

"Why don't you just go see you best friend Juliet?" I sneered as I stood up. Bella squeezed my hand that was still in her grasp with an encouraging smile.

"Don't be too long," she said quietly, "I know how much you enjoy his company," she added with a laugh. Was I the only one around here who completely loathed this man? Apparently so.

After knocking on his door and being granted entrance, I walked into Dr. Reid's office and sat down in the plush chair. He remained silent for a moment behind his desk as if he was studying me. This caused me to squirm slightly and if I was in trouble for something I sure as hell looked guilty now. But I quickly snapped out of it; I wasn't going to let this old man intimidate me.

"Edward," he finally began, "how have you liked your stay here so far?"

"It's been…pleasant." Were those the only kind of questions he could ask?

"Mhm, and are you talking about the building itself or Miss Swan who you so graciously kept company last night in her room?" he asked with cold eyes.

Damn. There was no way of getting around this guy. How did he know? I sat there with my mouth slightly open because I was too shocked to form a coherent sentence.

"Mr. Cullen, I do not appreciate you breaking the rules for the second time after I kindly let you off with a warning last time. Luckily for you, I believe in the three strikes policy. Mark my words, if something like this happens again I will have to ask you to leave the center."

I numbly nodded my head.

"Now, we don't want that; we want you to get better," he spoke again in a patronizing voice, "so please try to behave from here on out."

"Yes, sir," I said sincerely. I didn't want to get kicked out of here that was for sure. Yes, I wanted to get help for my drug problem but if the following couple of months were the only ones I would be able to spend with Bella before she left I couldn't leave. I didn't know what I was going to do when the end of those months came.

"You didn't really think I wouldn't find out, did you?" he asked, amused.

"Actually, I did," I replied with the truth.

"You should take the Room Advisors more seriously. They're not as dense as you seem to think."

I slumped in my seat. Okay, so just because my Room Advisor is clueless does not mean the girls' RA is…lesson learned.

I stepped out of the office quickly to find Jasper, Alice, and Bella sitting in the waiting room. The three simultaneously stood up when they noticed my presence.

"What did he want?" Bella asked first. I waited until we had left the room and were seated in the common area for I replied.

"He…found out about me staying the night in your room," I said carefully.

Bella's eyes took the shape of saucers as I told her this while Alice and Jasper looked beyond shocked.

"What did he do? Are you kicked out?" she asked frantically.

I smiled, "No. He's giving me one last chance but if I mess up again I will have to leave."

"Edward, you have to be more careful. Please try. You can't leave me," Bella whispered the last part. I was surprised at how much my company meant to her. I hadn't noticed it was that important but the water in her eyes proved the point.

Alice and Jasper quietly left the room to give us some privacy no doubt.

"Bella, don't worry. I'm not leaving anytime soon. I'll probably have to stay in this place another year before I'm over the drugs," I half-heartedly joked.

She seemed to search my eyes for some kind of answer until she slowly let herself smile and leaned into me.

"It better not," she playfully narrowed her eyes at me, "you have to get out so you can come visit me when I leave."

I detected the sadness in her eyes and I could feel it in my own. This was quickly becoming a huge issue and the end of Bella's stay was quickly approaching. I suddenly found myself mentally complaining about not being committed to the center earlier.

AN: Grr, I'm not happy with the majority of this chapter but there you have it. I'm making myself promise to post another chapter this weekend. My reasoning: I may not get a chance to post next next weekend because I will be in Montreal. Just warning you all now before I'm shot for not posting so soon next week.

Hmm, I'm not sure how many more chapters there are! I know the ending (obviously) but I'm not so good with 'filler' chapters (obviously) so the story may be drawing to a close soon! I don't know, if you have any ideas maybe you could tell me? In a review or PM? : D
