Chapter 14

BPOV

My head was spinning! So many things were running through my mind at the same time and yet all I could feel was Edward's lips against mine. I had to stop, just to catch my breath. I opened my eyes to find blazing emerald eyes gazing into mine. A smile formed on his lips. I opened my mouth but then a car honked behinds us as we were slammed back into reality and remembered that the once red light had now turned green.

Edward turned his attention back to the road but held my hand as we continued to drive into the night and rain.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked me.

"I am just still in shock…I…I still see you as my protector …But my heart always skips a beat when you were around me. I can't stop smiling when I think about you." I said softly.

"You don't know how happy I am to hear you say that Bella." He smiled again.

"So, where are we going?" I asked.

"I was thinking we could get a bite to eat…what do you think?"

"I guess I'm a little hungry, um…how about Taco Bell?" He offered.

"Heck yea!" I teased.

As we drove to taco bell, I just sat there in shock…I finally found my escape to the stars…Nothing is going to take me away from him. A few minutes later we went inside the restaurant, ordered, then sat down.

"Bella I noticed something… I just confessed my love for you and you didn't say anything back." He stated.

"… You mean I didn't say 'I love you to'?" I said looking down at my hands. "It's just that I'm still confused… I mean, I am very vulnerable right now, and I know your feelings are genuine. But I don't know if I see you as a hero helping a damsel in distress or the love of my life…" I said slowly not wanting to kill the moment.

"And that's fine Bella; I am willing to wait for you. But can you promise me one thing while I wait?" She said taking my hands into his. "Please let me protect you to the best of my abilities until Jacob is caught. When he is, you can decide for yourself if you want me to be that role or something more… But will you at least sleep in my room? I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing that you are alone in another room of the house… I will sleep on the floor and you can have the bed… please?" he pleaded and it was something in his green eyes that made blush with embarrassment.

"Of course Edward… and thank you for waiting for me…" I smiled and then he smiled. We ate our food in silence, occasionally looking up each other and smiling.

My phone buzzed once which meant I had a text. I pulled it out of pocket. It was probably Alice or Rosalie wondering where the heck Edward kidnapped me to.

You lied to me Isabella! I see you and your precious Edward Cullen!

My heart stopped and I screamed. Edward grabbed the phone from my hands, read the message quickly, then picked me up…carrying me to the car because he knew I had lost the ability to walk from the fear that gripped me. We sat in the car after he started the engine and locked to door.

"Bella, love… talk to me. Come on… Breathe for me…"

It was when he said that, that I realized that I had in fact stopped breathing.

"W-where is he!" I shrieked.

"I don't know Bella, but he can't hurt you. You're with me remember?" He said testing me to see if I was back in my right state of mind, he stared at me, worried. I looked right at him but I wasn't really looking at him… I was looking past him into the empty parking lot… and I swear I caught a glimpse of Jacob. I screamed again.

"Get me out of here! I can't breathe! Edward!" I started to have a panic attack. My chest ached as I desperately tried to get oxygen into my lungs but it seems my brain stopped functioning.

Edward shifted into slammed on the gas and didn't stop until we reached his house. He shut off the engine and ran to pull me out of the other side and into the house. Once in the house it was like I was there but barely. I could see and hear everyone but I was trapped inside myself. I was screaming at the top of my lungs that Jacob was coming for me and none of them heard me. Why couldn't they hear me!?
