Bella POV

After a week after Carlisle and Esme's wedding entrance rehearsal, I convinced Dr. Price to take the wrap off of my ankle. The cast came off a week after, but he wanted it to be wrapped. I asked Edward to come with me but he had football so Emmett took me inside.

"Excited Bella?" Dr. Price asked with a raised brow. I giggled and nodded as I bounced in my seat on the examination table. Emmett boomed a laugh and flashed a grin.

"Alright, well, has it felt swollen, been any pain?" He asked. I shook my head.

"Everything has been perfect. I've been icing it everyday to keep it from swelling, and I haven't been doing cheer so I tried to do everything I could to make it heal faster" I smiled. He just laughed at me as he started taking off the surgical tape and took the wrap off. I squealed again

"I'm so excited!" I said again and gave out another giggle. Woo-hoo!

"Well, I want you to take off another week of cheer, come back for a check-up and if everything's good I'll clear you to keep doing cheer, and other things" He waved off. I nodded.

"Alright, well thank you" I smiled. He nodded and helped me down and I rolled my ankle in a rotation movement.

"How does that feel?" He asked. I shrugged. Honesty, I felt fine. I don't get the big idea, but he's just being too cautious.

"It feels great. I'll see you next week" I told him, grabbed Emmett's arm, and raced out of the hospital building.

"Slow down there Speed Racer!" Emmett yelled once we reached his Jeep. It wasn't the safest, but I didn't care. I needed some time to be a teenager; that responsible persona usually got annoying.

"Oh Emmett chill out" I told him. He just stared then squealed, and smiled. I raised a brow. What is wrong with this guy?

"What?"

"You're being a Platt more and more these days! I'm so proud" HE said and sniffed just for the fun of it. He was right. I was spending too much time with Edward and I loved it.

"So, you excited for the wedding?" He asked. I shrugged. It was in a few weeks, and Esme was stressing me out more than ever.

"I guess. She's just putting more stress on me than she was before. Now it's 'Bella, did you get your Maid of Honor speech finished?', or 'Bella! Did you make sure to book an appointment with the fittings?', or 'Bella, did you double check the guest list? My sister can't be next to Roger Williams, her ex-boyfriend'. Gosh your mom is a busy woman" I said getting tired just thinking about it.

"Well Aunt Liz can't be next to Roger, because last time she threw a cup of boiled water on his nuts when she caught him cheating on her and he called her a cheat slut. That's the last time they talk, I don't blame her for wanting to be the hell away from him" Emmett shrugged. I pursed my lips and ran a hand through my hair.

"Yeah, well we have fitting coming up soon, and I don't exactly like our dresses. What are you guys' wearing?" I asked. Emmett grinned.

"Well Bella-Boo, I told the guy at the stop to fit us, but I had my own plans. We're wearing black skinny jeans, grey un-tucked dress shirts which are BTW so uncomfortable, and these black button-up vests. With a white tie. We're al wearing our signature sneakers too" He laughed. I giggled. Ooh, they're in trouble.

"You're so screwed" I said. He laughed and gave me a noogie.

"Oh stop it!"

"Ok, little boo, let's get to class" He smiled and pulled up to the school. I got out and Emmett threw his arm over my shoulder and we walked up. I saw Edward hanging out with his football friends and Emmett pulled my arm back.

"You sure you're ok?" He asked. I saw Tom staring at me from afar and I nodded still staring at Tom.

"I'll be fine. I have Edward" I smiled. He nodded and gave me a smile, before kissing my head quick and running over to his friends yelling, "Yo man wassup?"

I headed over to the jocks where I hung out and Edward smiled at me. I smiled back and ran over to give him a hug. He gave me one and I saw Tom glaring as he stormed over, walking away from the wall where he was by himself.

"Tom, we need to talk" I said. He glared at me before pushing me out of the way and walking over to Edward and Jacob. I felt Leah come over to me with her hand on my arm as she gave me a confident look and looked to the two men.

"What the fuck, are you doing Platt?" Tom spat at Edward. Edward laughed humorlessly and threw his stuff on the floor and took off his jacket, rolling his sleeves up. Oh no.

"You wanna go Platt?" Tom asked incredulously. Edward smirked and jerked her head up.

"Bring it Serf" Edward said and Tom threw his jacket off and threw it on the floor with his binder and backpack.

They circled each other and I felt tears weld in my eyes. I watched as Tom took a swing towards Edward and hit his jaw. The crowd went 'ooh' and I turned to Leah and buried myself in a hug.

"I'm so sorry" She whispered. I nodded.

"Oh my god" I heard Alice say from nearby. She must've heard about the fight.

"Jacob what happened?" Ryan asked. I knew them all now; I was quite proud of myself.

"Tom saw Edward and Bella together, and Edward asked him to fight and that's what they're doing now. It had to be done; there are more things they're fighting over than Bella." Jacob answered. I was suddenly in a new person's arms and I didn't know who. I saw dirty blonde locks and knew it was either Ryan or Jasper. I looked up to see a few people trying to break them up. Jasper was trying to pull Edward away from Tom. He had a busted lip and bruise forming on my jaw. Tom had a bloody nose and a cut on his eyebrow. Emmett was taking Tom away from Edward with the help of Jacob. Jasper was struggling so Carter went up to help him.

"Shh, don't watch. It's getting pretty brutal" Ryan whispered to me. I nodded and hid my face in his chest.

"It's almost over; I can see the principal coming. Edward has a busted lip, bruised jaw, and a bruised left cheekbone. Tom has a cut on his right eyebrow, broken nose, and a bruised forehead from there he hit his forehead on the bench on the table" Ryan whispered to me. I nodded and still didn't watch.

"Edward!" I heard Caitlin scream and I saw Ryan's face get blank.

"Somebody help him!" I heard Trevor yell out and someone went in the direction of the office, in my guess the nurse's office.

"Ryan what happened?" I asked. Ryan just said nothing as he passed me to Alice who hugged me for life. She looked to me and then to the crowd. I couldn't see anything.

"He's been knocked unconscious. Edward. I don't know how, I didn't see" She said. She also had tears. I choked for second and saw Tom limping, with two guys I recognized at Brett and Luke to sit down. The shock wore off and I ran to Edward. I pushed past people and saw Principal Greene talking to Jake and Edward as The nurse helped Edward. A jacked was under his head.

"Get to class! Cullens, Platts, and Serf stay here!" Principal Greene shouted. No body moved.

"Now, or a months worth of detention, and I mean it!" She yelled again. Everyone scrambled as I knelt by Edward. His plump lip was swollen and had crusty dried blood. His cheekbone was starting to turn a yellow color I soon knew would be purple and swollen. His jaw was already purple and starting to swell.

"Edward?" I whispered. Nothing. The nurse had someone take me away from him and it was Emmett.

"Bella, stay here. Nurse is working on him. They called an ambulance" He said. I nodded and put my hair in a pony tail.

"Thank you Ryan, for being there" I said as Ryan sat with Emmett and me. He just shrugged and I put my head on his shoulder.

"It's what family does" He told me and I nodded in agreement.

"Principal Greene, how in trouble is Edward?" Caitlin asked. She hesitated.

"Tom's parents are thinking about pressing charges. But if they don't, then Edward will get suspended of course, and it's up to Coach Clapp if he wants to kick him off the football team. I'll try to keep him on, but it's not up to me." She answered.

"Aunt Terry, will be okay?" I asked. She shrugged as we heard ambulances pull up. The sirens were blaring.

"I'm not sure sweetie, he hit his head pretty hard, knocked out cold" She said. I bit my lip.

"I'm so sorry" I let out and she hugged me. I hugged her back and played with the ends of her blonde hair.

"Sweetheart, you and your family should go home. I'm dismissing you guys for the day." She said. I nodded.

"Did Dad and Esme pick up?" I asked. She nodded.

"Carlisle is on his way. He's meeting us at the hospital." She said. Us?

"You're going?" I asked. She shrugged.

"I might. I mean, it is my nephew" She said. I nodded.

"Ok"

"Bella, c'mon, we need to go" Alice said and dragged me away. I waved by to Aunt Terry as she waved too.

"Mom and Carly are at the hospital. We need to go!" she said and we all left to the lot.

"I have Edward's keys, Bella are you fit for driving?" Emmett asked me. I nodded and he threw me his keys. I found Edward's car and people piled into it. I pulled out and headed straight for the hospital. No one said anything.

We pulled up after about 20 minutes of driving, and I parked in the garage. I hurried up as we all ran together to the entrance doors, and asked for Edward. He arrived 10 minutes before we did, since we stayed a few minutes later, as we caught up on news.

"He's in the ER, and you'll have to wait to see him. I'm sorry Bella" Tawny, the receptionist, told me. I nodded.

"It's fine. Where's Dad?" I asked. She gave me a look.

"Oh, ok. Esme?" I Asked.

"She's in the waiting room in the ER. You guys can go with her" She said. We nodded and then ran around the hospital to find the ER. We finally found it and there sat Esme. With the four younger kids.

"Don't talk. Don't" She said simply and just sat, hugging her purse. Ryan and Emmett went over to her and just hugged her which set her off. I felt so bad.

"What happened?" James asked as I sat down.

"Edward and Tom got in a fight at school. Eward got knocked unconscious, and they have him in the ER; my dad and the other docs are working on him now" I told them. They nodded and we all sat waiting for news from my Dad or Edward's doctor.

Ooh, suspense!
