Thank so much for your reviews, you are awesome!

I know I'm not your favorite person right now, but I wouldn't have done that if I wasn't going to update today. Here is the next chapter…hope you liked it.


"Let's split up and look for her. I have a bad feeling about this."- I said and we looked around in the bar for her, but here was no sign of her or the bikers. I remembered my words to her earlier: "Don't worry, no one is going to hurt you, you're safe with me." I had failed her. Where could she be?

BPOV

I had left my coat inside the bar so I went back inside with Alice following. I felt something was going on but I didn't know what. Edward was acting kind of strange.

My coat was still on the chair where I had been sitting, I took it and tried to go back outside, but someone grabbed my arm. I looked and saw a red haired woman.

"There's another way out. Come with me, I'll help you."

"You work here?"- I asked and she pushed to the back of the bar.

"Kind off."- She said and kept pushing until we reached what looked like a back door and I felt relieved, but once I got outside I changed my mind.

Outside were at least eight bikers with their motorcycles, she dragged me to one of them, that seemed to be the leader.

"Here she is."- She said and he got out of his motorcycle and walked to me smiling. He had light brown hair, and average looking face but a muscular body, but his eyes were dark and there was something evil in them.

"Hello, sweetheart."- He said grabbing my chin.-"I think you have something that I need."- He said letting go of my chin and pointing to my necklace.-"You should know better than to bring something like this expensive to place like this. It was very silly of your boyfriend to leave you alone."

"He didn't leave me alone; he's probably looking for me right now."- I said.

"Well I'm actually kind of hoping he does, he challenged me with the way he was looking at me and trying to protect you."

"He'll kick your ass."- I said and he laughed.

"Really? Maybe I should give him a little more incentive, don't you think?"- He said and all the others cheered. He forced me against the wall and held my body against it with his.-"Hum…you smell really good."- He said against my ear and I closed my eyes, but suddenly he was not there anymore. I immediately opened my eyes to see the biker on the floor and Edward standing protectively in front of me.

"You shouldn't have touched her."- He almost growled. I had never seen him like this. The biker got up and laughed.

"Look at that, the rich boy came to rescue the princess."- He said and the others laughed.-"Do you think you can take all of us?"- He mocked and took a knife out of his pocket.

"No, but I can take you, and let my friends take care of the others."- And out of nowhere Emmet and Jasper came carrying these huge guns in their hands. My heart was racing and my head was spinning, I felt like I was watching a movie, because this scene felt so surreal. The biker looked around and smiled.

"Fine! You win."- He said but Edward took a step closer.

"Oh, no! You're not leaving that easily."- And before I knew it the biker was on the ground and Edward on top of him was punching his face.

"Edward stop it, please."- I begged he looked at me and got up.

"If I ever see any of you, near her again, I'll finish what I started, do you understand?"- He shouted to the biker, who just nodded.

He took my hand and pulled me around the bar into the car. Alice and Rosalie were inside their cars on the driver's seat. We got inside the car and drove off.

Edward didn't say a word, he was holding the steering wheel tightly and his shoulders were tense. His hands had blood on it and were bruised.

We got to the hotel and he opened the door for me, then he turned to Rosalie and Alice.

"See if she is unharmed."- He said coldly, he was mad at me.

"Come on Bella."- Alice said and led me inside.

We went inside and I went straight to the bathroom, I took of my dress and got into the shower, I wanted to wash the memory of that guy away from me.

I put my pajamas on and lay on my bed.

"Are you ok?"- Alice asked sitting next to me.

"Yes, but I think Edward is mad at me."

"No, Bella why would you think that?"- Rosalie asked.

"He didn't even speak to me."- I said and tears started to come down my cheeks.

"He is not mad at you; he is probably blaming himself for what happened."

"No, this was my fault, I should have screamed, I should have…"- I started to sob and they held me.

EPOV

Once Bella was safe inside our room, my body collapsed, I would have fallen if Emmet hadn't held me.

"Hey, bro. Relax everything is fine."- He said.

"I know, but I can't stop thinking if we had been a few minutes later, he would have…"

"But we weren't, so stop torturing yourself."- Jasper said.

"I don't know what I would have done if something had happened to her."

"Everything is fine."- Jasper reassured me.

"Have you called you friend already?"- I asked.

"Yes, they will be watching them, so don't worry. Those bikers will be in jail by tomorrow."- He said.

"Thanks man."

"You're welcome, and I know you would do the same for me."

"You should go to her. She needs you."- Emmet said.

"I know, I just needed to calm down a little bit."

After a few minutes I went inside the room, Bella was lying down crying with Alice and Rosalie by her side. Her hair was wet and she had changed into her pajamas.

"I'll take it from here."- I said.

"If you need anything let us know."- Alice whispered and hugged me.

"Thanks."- I locked the door behind them and walked to the bed. Bella turned around with tears falling down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry, Edward. Please don't be mad at me and don't blame yourself."- She said confusing me. She thought I was mad at her? Why? I quickly put my arms around her and held her tightly.

"You don't have to apologize, love. If anyone needs to do that it is me. Because this would never have happened if I hadn't left you alone."- She started to cry again.

"No, none of this is your fault, I should have screamed or something while I was still inside the bar. But I froze, and once we were outside…"- She was crying again.-"I was so afraid he would hurt you."- Unbelievable, she had been the one in danger and she had been afraid for me.

"Don't be silly, I never even touched me."- She looked at me and smiled.

"You were so brave, it felt like I was in a movie and you were my hero."- I wiped the tears from her cheeks.

"I'm sorry I left you alone."- I said.-"I'll never do it again."- She smiled.

"Not ever?"

"Yes."- She smiled.

"What about when I need to go to the bathroom."- I laughed; she was making jokes after what she had been through.

"Even then, I'll go in before you do, to see if it's safe and wait by the door."- She smiled.

"What about in the shower?"

"Well, I guess I'll have to join you."- She smiled and put her arms around my torso holding me tight.

"I love you so much, Edward."

"I love you too. God, I don't know what I would have done if…"- I felt the tears I had been holding streaming freely down my cheeks.

"Shh…everything is fine. We're safe."- She said consoling me. God! She was so amazing.

"You know, I should be the one consoling you and not the other way around."- I said against her hair.

"Well, you're the one crying now."- She said smiling and wiping the tears of my cheeks.

"Don't ever leave me like that again…I was so worried, I was so afraid to lose you."

"You'll never lose me, I promise."- She said before kissing my lips gently.

"I'll never let anything like this ever happen to you again."- I promised her.

"I just want to forget about this, ok? Can we do that?"

"Yes."

"Good. Now could you please go take a shower and change, you have blood on your shirt."- I looked at my shirt and she was right, there were a few blood splatters.

"Sorry, I'll be right back."

"Do you mind if I go with you? I just don't want to be alone."

"Sure."

We went into the bathroom and I took a shower, I didn't even worry about if she was seeing me naked or not. I washed myself as fast as I could and put a towel around my waist. She was sitting on the floor next to the bathtub with her back to me.

I put on my pajamas and lifted her in my arms and I carried her to bed, she held on tightly against me.

"Kiss me, Edward. I need to feel you."- She asked and I kissed her desperately, expressing all my love for her and she moaned against my lips.

We kissed for a long time, with passion and need. This could have been a perfect time to make her mine, but a part of me thought I would be taking advantage of her fragile state.

I held her while she slept, she had a lot of dreams that night, and woke up screaming a couple of times, but I held her tight and whispered to her how much I loved her.

I woke up with my cell phone ringing with a text message from Jasper, I read.

"They moved on to San Francisco. But don't worry they are being watched."

I texted him back saying thank you.

I looked at Bella who was still sleeping; she looked so peaceful and beautiful. I pushed her hair away from her face and caressed her cheek. My beautiful angel…I loved her so much. I was so afraid something had happened to her, I could have never lived without her. She moved and opened her eyes.

"Good morning beautiful."- I said smiling to her.

"Good morning."- She said stretching and yawning just like she did every morning.-"You look tired, you didn't sleep well?"

"Kind off."

"Was it me? Because I had a lot of nightmares, was I talking or screaming?"-She asked concerned.

"Don't worry about that, ok? I'm fine and we should get up and get on the road."

"Ok."- She was quiet and I could tell she was worried about something.

"What is it, Bella?"

"Do you think they'll come after us?"

"The bikers?"- She nodded.-"They won't, Jasper took care of it."- Her eyes widened in surprise.

"What do you mean? Did he kill them?"- She asked and I laughed.

"No, but he has someone watching them. So don't worry your pretty little head."

"Ok. What about the guns?"- She asked.

"What guns?"

"The ones that Emmet and Jasper had yesterday."

"Oh, those are in Alice's car. Jasper had a secret compartment build. Security is important for him."- She was quiet for a little bit thinking, then she got up to go to the bathroom, but I stopped her before she went in.-"What are you doing?"

"I'm just keeping my promise. I told you I wouldn't leave you alone; even to go to the bathroom."- She smiled and rolled her eyes and got on her toes and kissed my lips.

"Thank you, my hero, but I think I'm safe."- She said and went inside.

After we got dressed, we put our suitcases in the car and went to have breakfast. Everyone tried to act as normal as we could, but last night was still very present in our minds.

"Ok, can we please go back to normal road trip fun and forget about last night?"- Bella asked.-"You're acting like someone got killed."

"Sorry, Bella."- Alice said.-"But it's not every day that we go through something like that."

"I know, but I just to put that behind my back and erase it from my memory, and that in kind of impossible if you act like this."

"I think Bella, is right."- Jasper said.

"Thank you Jasper."- Bella said smiling.

About one hour later we were back on the road and headed for Seattle. Bella slept most of the first hours, and only woke up when we stopped to eat.

Everyone was a lot more relaxed, and Emmet joked around making us all laugh. Bella got the camera and took a few pictures.

BPOV

I had slept for hours before we stopped to eat, I felt really rested.

We had a lot of fun during that time; Emmet was back to himself and everyone was acting a little more normal. I really wanted everything to go back to normal and not to think about that night ever again. I would only keep the most important things, like the way Edward and I had dance, they way he protected me, he had been almost animalistic about it, that was kind of hot. I wondered if he would ever acted like that with me, taking me in his arms and ravish me.

"What are you thinking about?"- Edward asked smiling and I felt my cheeks burned with embarrassment.

"Nothing."- I lied and he laughed.

"You're such a bad liar."

"No I'm not."- I said.

"Yes you are. I like that about you."- He laughed and I stuck my tongue out to him.-"I like you tongue even more."- He said teasing me.

"You do? And you haven't even seen all that I can do with it."- I said teasing him back and he swallowed loudly and I laughed.

"You're really evil sometimes, Bella. You know one day I'm going to lose my control and you wouldn't even know what hit you."- Oh, my God…that sounded promising.

"Well, as long as you gentle on the first time."- I said and he pulled over and stopped the car and pulled me into his arms and kissed me passionately for a long time.

"You drive me insane, Bella."- He whispered against my lips.

"I hope in mean that in a good way."-I said before kissing him again.

We got back on the road after a major make out session that was interrupted by a text message from Emmet saying the police was on their way. So Edward started the car again and we were gone.

"Do you want to stop in Seattle or head straight to Forks?"- Edward asked when we were about half an hour away from the city.

"Honestly, I think I would prefer to go to Forks and have a good night rest, before I see my father tomorrow."

"I think it is a great idea. Can you call the others and tell them?"- He asked.

"Sure."- I called Alice and Rosalie and they agreed with my plan, we had been on the road for almost six hours and we were all ready to relax. But going to Forks meant we had another three hours of driving.-"Do you want me to drive the rest of the way?"- I asked Edward because I knew if must have been tired. He smiled.

"I thought you never asked."- He sighed. He pulled over and we changed seats, and I started the car after adjusting the seat and mirrors.

Edward actually relaxed seating next to me, he sang to the songs on the radio, and helped me when I was sure what to do, because it is a lot different when you drive this fast.

It was almost eleven when we turned into a dirt road, and drove for a couple of minutes until we stopped in front of this huge house in the middle of the forest.

In the darkness I could see that house was three stories tall, rectangular and well proportioned, it looked timeless, graceful, and probably a hundred years old. It seemed to be painted in a soft, faded white. The windows and doors were either part of the original structure or a perfect restoration.

"Wow, this looks amazing."- I said and Edward put his arms around my waist and held me from behind against his chest and rested his shin on my shoulder.

"Wait until you see the inside, it is amazing."- He said before kissing my cheek. We got our suitcases, well actually Edward did, and we went inside. And he was right.

The inside was amazing. It was very bright, very open and very large. This must have originally been several rooms, was now a wide open space. The back was all in glass, reminding me of their houses in Phoenix. There was a massive curving staircase on the west side of the room. Everything was in shades of white; it was like going inside a house of a décor magazine.

We went up the stairs all the way to the last floor and I followed Edward into a room. The room was decorated in black and gold, in a luxurious way, there was a king size bed, huge TV and one of the walls was all glass.

"We had someone come and prepare the house for us."- Edward said.

"This place is amazing."- I said.

"Are you hungry?"- He asked.

"Yes, actually I am."- We went downstairs to the huge, perfect kitchen and dinner was already there, we only had to heat up. I guess having lots of money really has its perks.

Emmet told a few stories about when they lived here, and how the house had changed since then. After we ate we decided on the plans for the next day, and we all went to bed. But I called my mom first to let her know we were already in Forks and that I would be seeing my father the next day.

Edward insisted on carrying me all the way to our room, and dropped me on the bed, with him on top of me.

"So are you nervous?"- I asked and he smiled.

"About meeting you father?"

"Yes."

"A little, I really want thing to go smoothly."- He said and I knew how important my father's permission was to him.

"Well, you'll be fine, but if he goes for the gun hide behind me."- I said and he laughed.

"I'll keep that in mind."- He said and started to bury himself in my neck places warm kisses on my skin.

"Hum…that feels good."- I said almost out of breath.

"It feels good to me too."- He said smiling.

We got lost in each other for a long time, forgetting how important and decisive tomorrow would be. We finally fell asleep in each other's arms.


Well, some of you were right. It was James and Victoria. It would be much of a story if they weren't on it, even if it is just a little bit.

I hoped you liked it, please review…

The next chapter Edward and Charlie finally meet.
