A/N: forgot to put disclaimers on the other stories, so here is one. I'll do them on the rest of my stories.

Summary: Mike finally takes it too far, getting on Bella's nerves.

Bella's state: Vampire (her power is undecided, make up your own!)

POV: Bella

Mike

"He isn't right for you. I don't like him." He said to me. We were at his dad's store, folding clothes. Unfortunately, this was the only place I could get a job.

"Mike, I don't care what you think. I'm sorry to say it, but I don't. So can you please stop telling me you don't like Edward." I pleaded, dropping a shirt. I bent over to get it and when I came back up, I saw Mike looking at my butt. "Stop." I said angrily. If I could have blushed, I would have.

"It is just…" Mike started, "It is just that he has changed you." At first, I didn't register what he said, but when I did; I had to hold onto the edge of the table to keep myself from falling down.

"Changed me?" I choked out. How could he know?

"Yeah, you don't seem like yourself anymore. For one thing, you look so much paler, and you never eat anymore." He said. Well, at least he didn't know what I was, but he was dead right about those facts. Of course I was paler, I was a vampire! And of course I was not eating, I don't eat human food!

"I don't care what you think. I do eat, and I'm not paler. And even if I were, it wouldn't be Edward's fault. I want you to stop telling me that you don't like him, it doesn't make a difference. I won't stop loving him because of you." The word love slipped out of my mouth, but I pretended it was nothing. I felt Mike staring at me, eyes wide.

We kept folding until I heard the familiar sound of Edward's car. It was around the corner. (This hearing thing helped a lot.)

"Okay, well my shift is over." I said and left Mike folding the shirts. I went to the back room and took off the shirt that said Newton's Outfitters. I felt a giddy feeling in my stomach. Being a vampire did not change the feelings I got around Edward. I heard the small jingle of the bell indicating someone had entered the store. It took all my strength not to run to Edward at full speed. I coolly walked over to him and kissed him. I felt Mike looking at us so I kissed him a little longer. Yeah, I know, I'm evil!

"What was that for?" He asked in a fast whisper so no one could hear us. We walked out of the store, and it was raining. It was summer!

"Mike is getting on my nerves." I said simply. Edward held his car door open for me and I stepped in.

"What do you mean?" Edward asked, already on the driver side. He started up the engine and started towards his house, now my house too.

"Nothing." I said. There was no point in getting Edward mad. I looked over to see Edward scowling. "He is always on my nerves. What was he thinking about?" I asked curiously.

"The normal." He chuckled, "His love and lust for you. He thinks he could be a better partner than me."

"God, he doesn't know anything." I shook my head in disappointment. Edward laughed quietly.

Finally, we got to his house. We both ran to his room and I sat on the couch, and watched Edward as he looked through his CDs.

"What are we doing today?" I asked. It was two in the afternoon and I knew I had a long night ahead. There was nothing to do at Forks, during the day and night!

"I don't know. I hear Alice thinking about shopping—"

"No, not that!" I interjected.

"Okay, okay." Edward laughed, "Then we have nothing to do." I crossed my arms and huffed out. I was so bored! Suddenly, I felt Edward get up. I looked up to see him putting the CD back to its place, and when he turned around, his eyes looked playful.

"What are you—" I started to say but Edward pounced onto me. I laughed as he started kissing my neck vigorously.

"Honey…" I scolded, but he didn't stop. He kept kissing my neck, and then he moved to my collarbone, making me shiver slightly.

"Are you still bored?" He asked playfully between small kisses. I couldn't respond because he then kissed my lips. I isn't like I could have answered anyways, my stomach was doing flips and my non-beating heart was in my throat.

Folding clothes once again. This was absolutely the most boring job in the world, I'm serious. With Mike talking nonstop to my right and the manager telling me I'm doing things wrong on my left, I wasn't sure how I was making it through. But then again, I did know how I made it through the day. Edward.

Finally, it was toward the end of the day and Edward and Alice were looking around the store. Though I knew these clothes were not their type of clothes, they always bought a little to add to my commission! (I told them not to, but they won't listen.)

As I was putting some shirts in the back room on a shelf, I felt a big hand touch my shoulder. I turned around to see Mike.

"I want to talk to you." He said.

"Now?" I asked impatiently, tapping my leg. Edward was just outside!

"Yes." He said simply.

"Okay, what's up?" I asked in a hurried voice.

"I don't want you going out with Edward. I don't like it, and you should care what I think." He yelled. I stepped back, a little shocked by not only his volume, but also his tone.

"Mike, I told you…"

"NO!" He yelled, cutting me off, "I know you think he is your soul mate and stuff, but he isn't. I'm perfect for you; I'm the best for you! He isn't a nice boyfriend at all!"

"You don't know anything! You don't know him! He is the best, better than you can ever be!" I yelled, blowing past mike. But instead of pushing through the door, Mike's hands held me back. I wanted to slap him on the face as hard as I could, but then I didn't. He wasn't worth it.

"Let me go." I whispered in a threatening voice.

"Let her go." I heard a familiar confident voice sound from the door.

"No way, she is mine!" Mike announced. Oh, what a stupid little boy he was. I gripped his arms that were circling my waist and I pried them apart. I then punched him straight in the nose.

"Bella!" I heard Edward gasp in shock. He came up to me and looked confused. Mike got up and put his fists up.

"If you want to fight for it, bring it on!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. I then punched him again in the nose. He didn't know it was coming, I was too fast. I saw a massive amount of blood gush out of his nose, but he got up anyway.

"You're strong." Mike commented. I was about to strike again, but then I felt two cold arms grabbing me and pulling me back.

"No!" I yelled, kicking and thrashing around. "He doesn't deserve to live!"

"Bella, just calm down. We are leaving." I opened my eyes to see the cloudy sky and then the car's interior. I saw Alice in the back of the car and Edward pulling out of the parking lot.

"I'm not the one to judge, but you shouldn't do that Bella." Alice said timidly. I growled in frustration.

"Did you hear what he said?" I asked Edward, who was pretending to focus on the road.

"Yes, but that is no reason to punch him." He said.

We dropped off Alice at the Cullen's house and then we went to the woods near Edward's house. We were in a small, secluded clearing.

"Bella, never do that…"

"I know, I know." I cut Edward off, knowing what he was going to say.

"Yes, never do that again." He said, and then smiled, "But I'm actually quiet proud. He had a big dose of Bella Fists!" He smiled and laughed. I couldn't help myself, but I also giggled.
