Hey people! I AM SOOOOOOOOOO SORRY! I know I haven't updated in God only knows when and I can't apologize enough for that but my writer's block was kicking my ass and I got transferred to a new school. I had to deal with that stuff before I could do anything else, unfortunately. BUT, now I will be updating once a week now. I know, I wish it was twice a week like before but life gets in the way...So just for you guys I made this chapter EXTREMELY long. 15 pages in MSword. I know you guys missed me and I want to thank everyone that PMed me and everyone the helped me out (Little Silver Rose and Marchen Awakens Romance). I can't thank you enough. And I apologize in advance for their OOCness later on and the images. The rating for this story has changed to 'M'. There's nothing explicit but it's just a warning. Extended versions of some things will be posted separately. I'd like to keep my 'virgin' readers 'virgin' and I wouldn't want to taint the young minds. lol.

Bold is Bella. Italics is Edward.

My beta, BellaTonks is AMAZING! She never ceases to amaze me. Give her some love too when you get a chance. Enough of my rambling.

Disclaimer:" I've missed you guys too. This chapter is really good if I do say so myself. So sit back, grab the popcorn and the soda and READ ON! R4L doesn't own anything." S.M.

Chapter 18

BPOV

"Okay class, today we're going to start learning French foods and how to spell them. Now, I'm going to…" That was as far as I got listening to Ms. Mattinson and her mouse-like voice ramble on about things I already knew.

I was too busy thinking about this delicious dream I had of Edward and I the night we got back from the field hockey game.

I heard a giggle from beside me. I turned to look at Alice. She had a light blush on her cheeks and was smiling a sheepish smile looking down at her phone. Jasper probably sent her something. They were so cute together, practically joined at the hip; inseparable.

I chuckled to myself when I thought of Edward and I joined in a different way.

Edward. Sigh.

If I were Lauren or Jessica, I'd drool all over him all day long without a care in the world. But since I'm not, I think I'll think about that yummy dream I had.

Flashback

"Bella," Edward murmured into my neck.

He had me pinned against a wall in his living room. He kissed up my neck, nibbling and biting in some places. He gripped my waist as I wrapped my arms around his neck and moaned when he nibbled on my earlobe.

One of his hands moved from my waist down to my thigh, then to my knee. He grabbed it and hitched it up around his waist. I gasped and he took that moment to crash his lips to mine, slipping his tongue into my mouth. Tongue lashing was the new game now. The battle for dominance had started. I fought hard, or at least I tried, but it was to no avail.

He won and I probably would've let him either way.

His hands roamed over my button up shirt. He pushed it up to my chest and rubbed my stomach.

I kissed his neck and he groaned. His hips ground into mine and I felt him press against me. My head started to spin.

I suddenly heard a tear and a growl. I pulled my head back and looked down at my ripped shirt and then looked up at Edward's predatory stare.

He smirked at me before unfastening my bra so quickly I thought my head would twist off from spinning so much.

Then he dove in and I all but screamed from the sensation.

That tongue—

End Flashback

"Bella, Bella, you okay? You were breathing kind of hard." Alice was shaking my shoulder gently.

I hadn't realized my breathing was labored until now. My stomach felt tight and my underwear felt funny. I turned to Alice with a deep blush on my cheeks and nodded my head, afraid that my voice would crack or come out as a squeak.

I looked to the front of the class and Ms. Mattinson was talking about the punctuation for the spelling of some type of food. The clock above her head told me that class would be over in ten minutes.

Was I really day-dreaming that long? Didn't seem like it, I thought.

I doodled on a piece of paper until class ended, fortunately with no homework, and left with Alice to meet up with Rose.

Class with Rose was boring, well except for all the tic-tac-toe and hangman games we played. Mr. Martin would give us odd looks when we would giggle or snicker from the hangman answers.

Jessica and Lauren glared at me whenever they had a chance, though I barely paid them any attention. They didn't deserve it. Lauren passed me note.

You know my Eddie doesn't love you. He never did and never will. He's just with out of pity and remorse. He wants me. ME! Me and only me!

I chuckled at the note and showed it to Rose. She smiled a cheeky smile and then wrote 'bitch' under it in big letters. I took it back and wrote a note of my own on it.

Lauren, Edward wouldn't want you even if you looked half as good Rosalie. So piss off before you really get in some trouble.

I sent the note back and watched as both Lauren and Jessica's faces became pale. Lauren balled the paper up, her hands shaking in anger.

They didn't do anything to us the rest of the class.

After class, Rose ran to catch up with Emmett, I'm guessing, before she went to her next class. When she left me standing there in front of the building, I was only alone for half a second before someone tapped me on the shoulder.

I jumped and whirled around, ready to protect myself if needed. But when I turned I bumped into the person's chest. I stumbled back and he caught me before I could fall, his hands on my shoulders.

"Whoa, Bella," I heard Jasper chuckle.

He gave me a minute to get my bearings. I tried to control my breathing and slow my heart down. I knew there was nothing for me to be worried about, but I was still a little skittish about going back to school.

"You okay, Bella?" He asked.

I looked up at him and muttered a 'yes'. I saw the concern and worry in his eyes and looked down at my feet.

"You're still scared." He said it as more of a statement than a question.

"Yeah," I said quietly.

"Don't worry, Bella. We're all here for you. You know that," He said sincerely.

"I know. I'm just . . . scared," There was no other word for the way I felt.

We started walking behind the building to our class. He gestured for me to continue. He knew there was more to it.

"I feel like someone's watching me. Everywhere I go I feel like I have to look over my shoulder. I was nervous coming back to school…" I trailed off, my voice fading into the light breeze that blew my hair around my face. The thought didn't even hit me until Alice jumped me this morning with clothes and make up.

"Bella," Jasper's concerned voice brought me back from my thoughts.

"Huh?" I looked up at him. "Oh. Sorry, Jasper," I mumbled.

"'s okay, Bella," Was it me or did his eyes just get darker?

"Thanks," I smiled. I still don't know how he does it. I suddenly felt calm. Jasper grinned.

"C'mon, Bella, if we run we won't be late."

I looked at my phone and gasped. We had only a minute to get to class before we'd be marked late.

"Let's go!"

And so we ran.

Jasper was ahead of me before we even got around the first building. Damn him and his long legs!

He paused at the end of the path and when I reached him he grabbed my hand. We reached the door to our class right when the bell rang. Jasper yanked the door open after releasing my hand. The room was full of students, but Mr. Wall wasn't there.

I breathed a sigh of relief as we walked to the back of the classroom to take our seats next to Emmett.

"Wow. You guys are early," he laughed as I sat down.

"Shut up, Emmett." I said grinning.

"Hey, Em," Jasper smacked fists with him.

"I'm surprised you made it here before the teacher did, seeing as how you and Rose are the king and queen of PDA," I said.

I tried to keep a straight face as he glared at me, but I didn't do too well. Jasper was laughing on my other side. A minute later, a short stubby man with white balding hair and bulky glasses walked in. He sat a few papers down on Mr. Wall's desk and then walked right out. A second later he pulled in a T.V. set with a silver DVD player under it. He pushed it to the front of the room and then walked to Mr. Wall's desk again.

"My name is Mr. Stein. I'm your substitute for today. Mr. Wall had to leave for an emergency. I'm going to play a movie, Finding Nemo, since I don't have any work or anything for you to do. You may talk quietly or put your head down, but I won't tolerate bad behavior…"

"What are we? Five?" Emmett muttered.

I chuckled. Mr. Stein's gaze zeroed in on Emmett for a moment and then looked at everyone else.

"Say 'here' when I call your name for the roll."

Mr. Stein called everyone's name and they all muttered a 'here'. No one was absent. Not surprising. Everybody was usually here for this class. I just don't know why; odd.

Mr. Stein hooked up the T.V and the DVD player, popped in the movie, then hit play. When it started some of the kids in the class became quiet. When the movie got to the part where Nemo was trying to wake Marlin up for his first day of school, my phone vibrated in my pocket. I jumped and both Jasper and Emmett looked at me, worried. I shook my head at them and pulled it out of my pocket. I had a text from Edward.

-hey beautiful.

I smiled and hit the 'reply' button.

-hey handsome.

-how's your day so far?

-boring. Yours?

-much the same. I wish you were in my arms right now.

-me too. I have nothing to do.

-no work?

-nope.

-aren't you in class?

-of course.

-why no work then?

-sub.

-ah.

-yup. Emmett's mad at me.

-why?

-I talked about his and rose's title of being king and queen of PDA.

-lol. What did he do?

-glared at me until the sub came. He might be plotting revenge.

-I will protect you. lol. He needs someone to set him straight every once and a while.

-indeed.

It was a minute before he replied again. I looked up at the T.V. to see Nemo swimming up to touch the 'butt'. My phone vibrated again.

-what are you thinking about?

-a dream I had.

-was it bad?

-no

-good?

-very, very good.

-do tell.

-it was about you, well us.

I blushed, remembering it and the incident in my first class with Alice.

-okay

-I don't want to tell you now.

-oh. Come on Bella.

-no.

-please.

-no.

-pretty please?

At this time I was glad that I wasn't looking at him because I would've given in before he even said please.

-nope.

-why not?

-because you might get all hot and bothered.

Damn! I wasn't supposed to tell him that.

-wow. Bella's having 'dirty' dreams. Who would've thought?

-shut up.

-lol. I still want to know.

-no.

-that's okay. i will get it out of you one way or the other.

Maybe I shouldn't have said anything about it in the first place.

-whatever Edward.

-you know I will.

-sigh.

-beautiful Bella.

I blushed and smiled. Bad boy.

-sinful Edward. Very, sinful.

- Yes I know.

Damn, human minute. I sighed.

I got up from my desk, after slipping my phone in my back jeans pocket and walked over to Mr. Stein. I asked him if I could use the bathroom. He wrote me a note and told me to hurry back.

I left the room and made my way down to the other end of the long hallway, where the bathroom was. I slipped the note Mr. Stein gave me in my front jeans pocket and did my business. I washed my hands and ran a brush, that was in my bag (courtesy of Alice), through my hair.

I put the brush down on the edge of the sink and fluffed my hair a bit. Rose must be rubbing off on me. I sighed.

When I decided I looked alright, I left the bathroom. I was a few doors from my classroom when I realized I left my brush in the bathroom.

When I was just about to turn back to get it, I heard something behind me. I thought it was just another student, but when I turned around to go back someone pushed me into the wall. They grabbed a handful of my hair and yanked me up when I slid down the wall from the impact.

"Bella, Bella, Bella." I heard the voice I never wanted to hear again whisper in my ear.

I opened my eyes, not really remembering when I closed them.

Mike Newton stood in front of me, smirking. He let go of my hair and ran the fingers, with the same hand, lightly across my cheek. I flinched and turned my head away from his hand. He chuckled, a devilish smile spreading across his face.

"Don't be so feisty, Bella," he said pushing his body against mine, into the wall. I felt dirty again.

I wanted to cry, but I wouldn't let him take pleasure in my tears, so I held them at bay. I conjured up all the will power I had to say something.

"W-what are you doing here? You're not supposed to be here." I managed to get out.

He chuckled. "But, I'm here and it doesn't matter how."

"I have a restraining order against you. You aren't even supposed to be in this building." My voice got slightly louder when he didn't hit me. I drew courage from it, but that courage was quickly destroyed with his next actions.

He slapped me across the face.

"Damn that restraining order! I don't care about that. I only care about one thing and that's you."

My left cheek burned, but I refused to cry or utter a whimper. I snorted quietly at the last thing he said, but it wasn't so quiet. I looked at him. His blue eyes burned. He was angry.

"Do you find something funny?"

I steeled myself against the wall in case he decided to hit me again. I tried to put as much space between our bodies as I could. I wished Edward was here.

"Mike, if you really cared for me, you wouldn't hurt me the way you have."

I could see his rage heighten. I decided to shut my mouth. Mike raised his hand and balled it up into a fist. He pulled it back as if to punch me.

"You will pay for that," I heard him whisper angrily under his breath.

I closed my eyes as I waited for the impact. I waited for the pain to start.

Then I felt the air move around me. I heard a few grunts and some muttered curses. I chanced a look. I opened one eye slowly and then the other when I saw Jasper standing in front of me.

I peeked around his shoulder and saw Mike standing across from him, breathing heavily. His hair was messy and his blue t-shirt was rumpled.

"Stay away from her, Newton. You're not even supposed to be here," Jasper hissed.

"I'll be wherever the hell I want to be. And don't tell me what to do!" Mike's hands were into fists again. They were so tight his knuckles were white.

"Stay away from her. Edward won't be so forgiving if he catches you."

"Whatever." He chuckled then he got serious. "I get what I want. Nothing can stop me."

I flinched at his words.

"Get out of here, Newton."

Mike smirked, winked at me and then stalked off down the hall and through the doors.

As soon as he was out of sight I slid to the floor and let the tears fall. The hot tears ran down my face and burned my cheeks.

"Bella, it's okay. He's gone." Jasper tried to comfort me.

He helped me up. I clung to him. I wrapped my arms around his waist much like I did the night Edward scared me at the lake.

"It's over, Bella. Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

I muttered something about getting slapped and thrown into the wall. Jasper hissed and pulled me toward to the class.

"I'm going to get a note from Mr. Stein to take you to the nurse. I'll be right back." I nodded and stood against the wall right outside the door.

I heard a few murmured voices and then the door opened. Jasper walked out slipping a piece of paper in his jeans pocket.

"Come on," he said.

He wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me down the hall. My legs felt like Jell-O. I felt the tears in the back of my eyes.

Why did he have to come after me? Why did he have to attack me? What did I do? Why me?

I felt the tears spill over. Sobs racked through my chest. My vision began to blur. We were right around the corner from the main office, the nurse's office right behind it.

My legs gave out. My eyes closed, the blackness of night suffocating me.

"She's fine. Don't worry." A faint female voice said.

"Are you sure? She only told me she was hit in the face and knocked into a wall. She fainted! He's not going to be too happy about this." That was a male's voice. That last part was said quietly. I almost didn't catch it.

My head pounded and the side of my face hurt.

I groaned and felt my cheek. There was something cold on it. I turned my head and the cold fell off my face.

"Bella, Bella, can you hear me?" I recognized Jasper's voice right next to me.

I groaned again and turned over. I pulled my eyelids back and the bright walls and lights in the room blinded me a little. I blinked rapidly, my eyes adjusting to the light. I sat up, groggily.

"Ugh. My head hurts. And so does my face." I rubbed my head.

Jasper picked up the cold compress that fell off my face and pressed it to my cheek. I flinched and he muttered a 'sorry' then pressed it back to my face.

"Ms. Swan?" I turned my head to where the voice was; my hand replacing Jasper's on the cold compress. The nurse was standing behind him, he moved so she could come closer and talk to me. Her name tag read 'Mrs. Willis'.

"Yes?" I said.

Her freckled cheeks bunched up in a small smile. Her blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail.

"You are lucky Mr. Hale was there to catch you. You surely would've hit your head on the pavement had he not been there."

"Thanks, Jasper." I smiled at him and then grimaced when it hurt my face. He grinned. I turned back Mrs. Willis.

"I'm going to give you some Tylenol for your headache and you can keep the icepack. I'll write a note for you to be admitted to class because you will be late."

I nodded and mumbled 'thanks'. She walked out of the room, shutting the door behind her. Jasper moved and sat on the bed by my legs, rustling the tissue paper I was sitting on.

"Does Edward know?" I asked not wanting him to worry.

"No," he said.

I looked up at his face. His brows furrowed and his jaw was tight much like Rose when she was worried or angry. Must be another 'twin' thing, I thought.

"How did you know something was wrong?" I asked. It wasn't that I was ungrateful for him rescuing me; it was just that the whole hall was empty; the doors to the classrooms were closed. You could've heard a pin drop it was so quiet. Mike wasn't loud but he wasn't quiet either. But still no one would've heard us.

Jasper sighed, and then ran a hand through his hair. He looked at me as he spoke.

"I was worried when you didn't come back after twenty minutes. I mean I figured it'd take you at least ten to you know…take care of your business…" He scratched his neck. I chuckled.

"Go ahead Jasper." I encouraged him.

"I would've gotten Emmett to come out there with me, but in the time you were gone he decided to shoot spitballs at Mr. Stein's head and he got in trouble for it." I rolled my eyes and smirked with the better half of my face. He smiled then continued. "I asked Mr. Stein if I could use the bathroom. When I walked out of the room I saw Newton—" Jasper spat his name like poison, "hauling his fist back with you standing in its path. You were only a few doors down, so it only took me a second to get to you.

"I grabbed the back of his shirt and threw him into the wall across from you. I tried to keep the conversation, for lack of better word, as quiet as possible, so as not to cause a scene and draw the teachers out into the halls. When I talked to Mr. Stein, he thought I was lying when I told him you were hurt, said something about skipping, too." I raised my eyebrows. "Don't ask me why! That old man probably still believes the Nazis are coming." I laughed at that, ignoring my head and my face.

"As panicked as I was when I threw that door open he should have known something was wrong." He continued when our laughter died down. "You fainted right around the corner from the nurse. I almost didn't catch you, I was walking so fast. Mrs. Willis was falling all over herself when I walked in here carrying you. She checked you out and said that you were fine, just a little stressed and overwhelmed.

"I contemplated texting Edward, but then decided against. I didn't want him worrying now. Not when you'd just started back up again. I knew he'd probably cause a scene in the middle of class or something."

"Thanks, Jasper." I couldn't thank him enough today. I sighed.

He rubbed my back up and down. I felt comforted and calm almost immediately. I took a few deep breaths. I cleared my head so I could try to think straight.

I put the compress on the bed next to me because my cheek was starting to get numb and cold. I shivered slightly. Mrs. Willis came back in with two small sheets of paper in one hand and a cup of water and pills in the other. She handed the water and medicine to me. I popped them in my mouth and gulped down the water not realizing I was so thirsty. Then she handed the both of us notes with her signature on it.

"Do you need another compress?" She asked eyeing the one on the bed next to me.

"No thank you. I think my face is numb enough." She chuckled and patted my shoulder. She gave Jasper a reassuring smile before leaving the room.

I pulled out my phone and saw that I had three text messages, one from Alice, Rose and Edward. I looked at the time and saw that I missed the first fifteen minutes of P.E. And I'd missed lunch. How long was I out?

I sighed and hopped down from the bed.

My head was starting to feel a bit better.

"Can you walk with me to the gym? I don't want to go by myself," I asked Jasper. He nodded and held the door open as we left the nurse's office. Mrs. Willis smiled at me when I walked by her desk and I returned it.

On the way to the gym I replied to Alice's text about girl time after school with an 'I need to talk to Edward' and then Rosalie's text about homework, telling her we didn't have any. I didn't reply to Edward's. I knew he'd want to talk to me as soon as he saw me in gym.

We reached the gym and Jasper paused outside the door.

"I'm sorry I didn't get there earlier, Bella. I could've stopped him from hurting you. I know how much it hurts Edward."

I smiled up at him.

"It's okay Jasper, really. You came and that's the end of it." I wrapped my arms around his waist. "Thanks, Jazz."

He chuckled. "No problem, Bella."

He opened the door and I walked in. Coach Clapp turned around at my entrance.

"Nice of you to join us, Ms. Swan," he said.

I grimaced and rolled my eyes as I walked toward him. I caught Edward's green gaze and they held worry and concern. I mouthed 'later' to him and he nodded.

I pulled the note from Mrs. Willis from my pocket and handed it to the Coach. He glanced at it and then nodded.

"Do you want to participate today or sit out and I can give you some book work. We're playing volleyball today."

Volleyball! I like volleyball.

"I'll play," I said.

"Get changed, then. I'll split up the teams when you come back."

I nodded and headed to the locker rooms. I changed quickly and headed back out to the gym.

Coach Clapp split everyone up into two teams and of course I'd be put on the same team as the bitches. My team was up against Edward's.

Gym was long, but fun, well except for Lauren and Jessica's constant attempts to make me fall and bust my ass every five minutes. The funny part about it was that they were the ones that were falling and busting their asses.

Edward was continuously shooting worried glances at me. He didn't try to bring it up when we took a break either. He just kissed my good cheek and asked me if I was okay. I nodded and smiled a weak smile at him.

His eyes burned with concern, but he hid it well. His fingers ghosted across my cheek as he stared into my eyes. We both jumped when Coach blew that atrociously loud whistle.

The rest of gym went pretty much the same as the first part; Lauren and Jessica falling on their asses while trying to trip me in the process…and failing miserably.

I grabbed a towel from my locker in the locker room after changing my clothes and wiped my forehead and the back of my neck of sweat. I left the gym and stood outside the doors and waited for Edward.

Not a second later, a pair of warm, strong arms wrapped themselves around my waist. I smiled as he kissed my neck.

"Hello, beautiful," he whispered.

"Hey, handsome," I said repeating the text I'd sent him earlier.

"Are you okay?"

"I don't know," I answered. I wasn't really sure. My emotions were a jumbled mess. I was a jumbled mess.

I was glad to be in his arms. I was glad that he was here.

"Take me to your room," I breathed.

Edward grabbed my hand and pulled me towards his car. His drove faster than his usual fast. He seemed eager to get to the room and I had a feeling he was going to get me to tell him about my dream….

He swerved effortlessly into a parking spot and was out the door in the next second. We were impatient waiting for the elevator. Edward's hands stayed glued to my waist, his fingers massaging the skin just underneath my jeans. His lips were all over my neck and shoulders.

I couldn't figure out how we got to this point, but we were here and I was not complaining.

His lips crashed onto mine in the elevator. My hands gripped his shoulders and then traveled up to his face. Edward's hands gripped my waist as he pushed me into the wall of the elevator. When it dinged, signifying that we were on his floor, he grabbed my hand and all but towed me down the hallway.

I ignored the stares that we got from students in the halls. He unlocked his door in haste and pulled me inside. His body pressed mine into the door once he closed it. His lips connected with mine in an indescribable way.

I felt passion burning in my veins. From the tip of my toes to the ends of my hair, it burned. I felt high, like I could do anything. Edward's hands pushed my shirt up slightly, so he could run his hands across my stomach.

I heard a groan rumbling deep in his chest. His hands ghosted over my ribs and I moaned. He pulled back to look in my eyes.

And then…

…I screamed.

It wasn't the look in his eyes that made me scream. It wasn't where his hands were that made me scream. It wasn't the way he made me feel that made me scream.

No. It was what was behind him that made me scream.

His room…

It was…destroyed.

"Y-your r-room…" I trailed off pointing in the direction behind him.

Edward's head whipped around and I heard him suck in a deep breath. His hands dropped from my waist and he traveled further into the room. I followed him only because I hated the space between us.

His walls were spray painted in red. They read 'You should've stayed away!" His couches were torn apart, the flat screen broken and on the floor. The table was shattered and the DVD's were all over the floor.

The kitchen to our right was completely destroyed; the microwave broken, cabinet doors on the floor. The refrigerator door had a huge hole in it and the food was strewn everywhere. We went further back to his bedroom and I almost lost the feeling in my legs from the sight of it.

The bed was torn to a million pieces. The computer was smashed and mangled. The curtains on the windows were shredded and the clothes in his closet were shredded as well. His wall of CDs wasn't a wall anymore. It was nothing. The CDs were gone. The wall had words sprayed in yellow spray paint 'You will pay!'

Then suddenly, Edward ran to the bathroom. I stood there stunned for a minute before loud swears came from the direction of the bathroom. I ran to it, already knowing that the destruction continued had not ended.

Edward stood in the middle of the bathroom looking in the tub. All his CDs were in it surrounded by scolding hot water and soap. The water was still giving off steam and I could just barely make out the popping noises the bubbles were making.

My knees started to shake and then they gave out. Edward whipped around and caught me before I hit the floor.

"Bella," he said.

He picked me up and carried me down to my room. Since his hands were occupied he had to yell to get them to open the door.

"Alice! Rose!" He yelled.

My arms locked themselves around his neck. I cried into his chest.

I heard the door open and a few gasps.

"Edward, Bella? What happened?" Alice shrieked.

"Someone destroyed my room."

So do you like? Yay or Nay? Edward does the disclaimer if I get 50 or more reviews for this chapter. Anyone you want to reply to your reviews just say so. Also I will be posting an extended version of Bella's dream for those of you who like lemony goodness. OH! Check out my oneshot Some Loving if you want some more ExB action.

Reader4Lyfe, peace!
