EPOV

"Well… She'll make me feel… um, kind of dizzy when she's there, but I'm guessing that it's no where near now." Bella said slowly. Almost unsure, but it sounded like her words were true. Why else did she pass out??

Just hold her hand and close your eyes, and she'll be with you again. Why is that so hard?! I heard Damien's thoughts as he tried to fight his fear. I felt bad for him. I understood how hard it was for him to see her again, knowing that he was the one who caused her pain. No one could understand that more than me. I almost offered to be there with him, because I remembered wanting someone to be there with me when I faced Bella's pain. But then I decided that I shouldn't offer that. Damien's case was different. She was his wife.

"All right then, I guess I'll come by later," he mumbled, "thank you, Bella." He gave her hand one more squeeze and then met my gaze.

Take care of her until I come back. I need some time alone, he thought to me before he disappeared.

Bella stared after him, a look of concern dominating her face. "Is he ok?" she whispered. I stood up and in a second I was sitting in Damien's place next to Bella.

"He just needs some time unaccompanied," I whispered soothingly.

She chewed on the inside of her cheek and nodded. She eased back against the headboard and sighed. Her sigh blew more of her warmth and scent in my face, like a soft whisper. I shivered.

"What's today?" She asked.

"Friday" I answered at once. Why would she ask?

She sighed and looked at Carlisle, "Are my friends still out there?"

"Actually, after they had asked me about your well being, they decided to go have lunch then come back for you. They just left," Carlisle answered. He checked his watch and looked at Bella apologetically, "I seems like I have to depart as well. I'm sorry Bella. I will be back as soon as I can."

"It's ok. Thank you." Carlisle just smiled and walked out of the door, shutting it behind him.

"They shouldn't come again, it's Friday!" Bella mumbled to herself. She pursed her lips, appearing to be in deep thought. "Edward," She started, "could you please grab my cell for me? It's over there on the table." She looked like she was distracted, like she was caught in another train of thought. I did not interrupt. In less than a second I was back with her phone. I handed it to her and my fingers brushed hers lightly; a small touch that a human wouldn't notice, but it made my fingers tingle.

She dialed a number and pressed the cell against her right ear. Whoever it was answered after the fifth ring. "Hey, Bella!" an enthusiastic voice answered.

"Hey Ben, How are you?" Bella greeted politely. I watched and listened to them, wondering why Bella would call Ben Cheney.

"Bored," he answered with a chuckle.

Bella chuckled too, "Listen Ben, It's Friday, and I don't want Angela to spend it by my bed. Could you please take her and go out together? Have fun?" She asked politely.

I gaped at her. I thought Bella couldn't be more beautiful than she already is, but here she is, thinking of her friend while she can't walk… I cringed internally.

"Sure, I'd love to. Anyway, we haven't spent a lot of time together lately."

"Yeah, sorry about that," she mumbled as she fidgeted with her blanket.

"Bella, I didn't mean…" Ben started.

But she cut him off quickly, "No worries. Just tell Sam to do the same with Emily. And call Quil and Embry to take Mike and Jacob for a guys night out."

"I'm on it."

"Thank you Ben," she said before she hung up. She stretched her arm and set the phone on her bedside. She sat back up and sighed with a small smile on her lips. She must've noticed my stare because she met my gaze.

"What?" she whispered confused.

"That was… very, very nice of you," I said honestly.

"Um… Thanks…" she said, as if not sure what I meant. I chuckled. I wanted to do something for this angel. Her friends had the right to enjoy a Friday night and so did she. Was I brave enough to offer her anything? Could I…?

I would try, for her. Now that I knew everything, if she refused… then it would be because she didn't want me. That would be hard. But she really did deserve to go out, to do something. I'm willing to bet that it's been a while since she last went out and had fun like a normal teenager.

"Bella…" I whispered as I prepared myself for the second try; hopefully it won't be like the first one.

"Yes?" she whispered, noticing my apprehension.

"Well, If you do not mind… I would very much like to… to take you out for lunch. If that is not against your desire…" I added quickly on the end.

I stared at my hands, motionless on my knees, feeling every second she took to consider pass by me like an eternity. I gritted my teeth to will myself to be patient and keep my hopes down.

Another moment of impatience passed and I was wondering if she took more than she should to consider, or if all that had passed was merely seconds to her. It was hard to tell.

Then I felt her warmth approach me. My cheek tingled before her palm touched it. I felt myself, involuntary, lean in her small, warm hand. I lifted my eyes to meet hers. They were filled with longing, twisted with pain and indecision.

"You know I want to but I can't." Her voice was filled with strangled pain that held the meaning of her words. Yes, she truly did want to come with me, but her motionless legs held her back. Did she think I would mind that she couldn't walk on her own?

"I'll carry you," I said at once, "I won't let you go." I bore my eyes into hers, trying to convey my feelings to her. She had to know that she shouldn't be held back because of what was my doing.

"I can't let you do that. I don't like being a burden." She looked away and I saw her tears fill her eyes before she hid them. I reached out and cradled her face between my hands, forcing her eyes to meet mine.

"Isabella Swan. I do not care that you can not walk. That is something I did, and I will fix. It does not change anything. I still love you just as intensely, if not more so," I said firmly. I felt the need to say that out loud to her. I did not want her to doubt that. Her insecurities were maddening, but I wouldn't let her believe them.

She closed her eyes and her hand held mine tight to her face as she leaned into it. She sighed and one lone tear slid slowly down her face. My thumb brushed it lightly. The look on her face, both painful and peaceful, made me wish once again that I could go back in time and stop all this from ever happening. But I couldn't, and here I was, trying to erase the doubts that I had caused, the doubts that had contaminated her pure heart.

"Will you go out with me?" I whispered again. She had not refused yet.

She opened her eyes and met my love-filled ones. Her eyes were still filled with tears, but clear of pain. A small smile on her lips made her look all the more angelic. She turned her face and held my hand in place, so that her whole face was in my palm, her eyes closed. She leaned in and laid the lightest and sweetest of kisses on my palm. Warmth spread through my fingers, creeping up my arm, flooding through my whole body; all of this radiating from the point where her lips touched.

"Yes," she mouthed against my palm and I shivered again. I did not notice that my eyes had closed, so I opened them and very unwillingly, pulled my hand away.

She looked up at me as I stood up. "I will step out to give you a chance to change. When you're done just call my name. I won't be far," I promised.

She smiled and nodded, and I smiled back just before I jumped out of the window. I ran in the direction of my house. Finally, my poor car would see the light after spending so long in the dark garage.

Someone passed me while running.

Don't worry Edward, She'll look amazing. I'll make sure of that. I rolled my eyes. Even if I couldn't recognize her scent, her thoughts would have tipped me off. Alice was going to torture Bella. I rolled my eyes… as if Bella needs someone to make her look amazing. She already looked amazing, every day.

My palm tingled, where her touch still lingered. I closed my hand in a fist and smiled, anticipation building up in my stomach. Finally, I'd get some time with Bella. Just Bella. I smiled.

--

I was standing in front of the hospital, leaning against the door of the Volvo. My mind-reading tuned out so Bella could have some privacy.

"Edward!" I heard her soft whisper from above. I pushed myself away from the car and ran to the tree outside her window; in a second, I was up and in her room.

She was sitting on the edge of the bed, wearing a huge sweater that hid her clothes from me. I had almost forgotten that the weather outside was much too cold for Bella to go outside in normal clothes. I did, however, see the skirt, or the bottom of the dress, whichever it was. It was a light shade of brown, and the material was long and seemed soft. I smiled; only Bella could wear something simple and make it look stunning.

She smiled at me. "You look very handsome," she complemented softly.

I grinned. I was only wearing a black tux, nothing much. "Do you own a mirror?" I asked sarcastically, since she can't see herself like I do. A moment later I asked "where's Alice?"

"She gave me the clothes and left. Jasper called her and told her he needed her for something important," she explained quietly.

Alice left Bella to dress by herself? I had to fight the urge to grit my teeth in front of her. I didn't want to frighten her before we even went out.

"Are you ready to go?" I asked.

"Almost, I just need to get my shoes…" She looked around the room with her brows furrowed. It was obvious that she couldn't find them. I searched for them and found them under the bed; they were simple brown high-heels. Since I would carry Bella the whole night, we won't need to worry about her falling because of the heels.

"I found them!" I declared as I came around the bed to her. I went down on both my knees, not caring that the tux might be ruined, and took her ankle in my hand. Slowly, I slid the shoe on her, trying to be as gentle as possible. I left her foot and went to the other, repeating the same action. I looked up at her to find her staring at me.

"Thank you," She whispered. I could see that what I just did had touched her, but I failed to see how.

I stood up, my eyes never leaving hers, and took her right hand in my left one. I lifted it slightly and bent down, laying a tender kiss on her hand with my gaze still locked on hers, just like I would have done if I were to see her in my time. She turned her hand pressed her palm against my cheek. I straightened up slightly, but she lifted her other hand and put against my other cheek, keeping my face in her hands. Stroking it tenderly.

The emotion in her eyes was so intense that it nearly made me fall on my knees. Keeping my eyes on hers I whispered,

"I love you,"

She seemed like someone who was under a spell. She kept her eyes locked on mine as she slowly leaned in. I closed my eyes as her scent caressed my face, filling me with a sense of warm happiness. I was almost gone but I heard and felt her whisper, "I love you too…forever," against my lips.
