I'm not letting you go back

As I began to run across the ballroom, something popped into my mind, with a wave of astonishment. I was in love with Edward.

I was about to run out the door, when I was caught around the waist by two pale, but muscular arms. I stopped abruptly, my hair falling out of place, when I was pulled up against a stone hard chest covered in a thin fabric.

I gasped for breathe, turning around to look into familiar green eyes. They were shining with relief as he held me to him. "Edward I have to-" I started to plea, but all he did was hold me tighter. His emerald orbs pierced into my brown depths.

"You think I'm going to let you go back there?" He asked, his bright green eyes shinned with rage, I gulped down a lump in my throat at his tone. Our noses were so close. I could feel him breathing on me.

"I don't have any other place to go." I mumbled looking down at the ground, tears began to form in my eyes again. He stayed quiet, until I was forced to look up at him. 'If I don't leave now then she's surely going to give me a few good kicks.' I thought fighting the urge ,that my tears had to leak over my eyelashes and cascade down my face.

"Edward, please. I've told you what she did to me before when I was late…I don't want that to happen again. Please." I started to beg, my whole body sank against him as the images of her foot connecting with my stomach and head flew back into my mind.

"And that's why I'm not letting you go back there." he said, before he began to pull me across the ballroom by my arm. "Edward let go! I have to get home!" I began to cry, ruining my mother's dress. He sighed, and pulled me down onto a chair by the table which a few hours ago held food and drinks on it.

He sat down and pulled me onto his lap, making me blush. I just then noticed a number of people, servants, I would presume, cleaning up the room, much to my embarrassment.

He breathed out, and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Bella-" he began in a soft comforting voice, that made me melt. "- Tell me something." he said looking me deep in the eyes, his gaze pierced into my very soul, hypnotizing me.

I stared back at him in a state of nothingness, not being able to form words at the moment. "Do you honestly want to go back there?" he said, waiting for my answer as my mind tried to figure out what he just said. My thoughts had been on his lips, that were so close to my own. I was tempted to kiss him right now.

"…No." I sighed, my mind finally caught up to speed. He smiled at me suddenly. "That's all I needed to hear." Edward laughed, as he sat up, making me fall off of his lap. I was afraid I'd hit the ground until his arms circled me again.

"What do you mean?" I asked, starring up at him with confusion in my eyes. He smiled down at me and began to drag me back through the ballroom and back out towards the garden.

I waited for his answer but the soft melody of his voice never flowed into my ears. I tried to stop, but he dragged me back the way we came, ignoring my protests the entire way there. "Edward where are we going?!" I screamed, as I looked around me.

I didn't know where we were, he hadn't showed me this part of the castle before. "We're going back to my room." he said, turning around to give me his crooked smile. I breathed out, dazzled by his apperance.

"Why?" I said, looking at him skeptically, still in a daze, as my eyebrow raised in question. "Well I'm not going to let you sleep on the ground." he chuckled, before I knew it we were back at the same golden doors that I had run out of. "But tomorrow I'll have to-" I started to say, before his voice cut in.

"You'll have to move into the room next to mine." Edward said, pushing the doors open, smiling at me, widely. I gasped. "W-What?" I breathed, not believing my ears. "It's not furnished yet, but I'll have it done tomorrow." He said, turning the lights on in his room, before dragging me to his bed.

"Y-You don't have to you know." I said, looking him straight in the eyes. "Nonsense…I would love it if you were to stayed with me." he said, pushing me back down onto the bed, so I was sitting on the red silken sheets. A blush came rising to my cheeks as my eyes widened.

"Really?" I gasped in amazement, he smiled and nodded his head. I was about to protest again when a quiet yawn escaped my mouth.

"Do you have anything to sleep in?" Edward asked, as he pushed a strand of hair out of my face, putting it behind my ear, the blush coming back up to my cheeks.

I shook my head, not trusting my voice at the moment, when he was so close to me. He smiled at me. "You can wear something of mine tonight then." he decided, going over to a giant chestnut colored dresser, with gold outlining, that I hadn't seen before.

"The bathroom is over there if you want to change." He said, pointing towards a small door across the room, while opening the top drawer. "Okay." I yawned, crossing the room, as the night's activities began to wear out my body.

I crossed the marble floor, my reflection staring up at me as I went through the shiny golden trimming of the door. My breathe was caught in my throat as I looked around the room. It was as big as my old bedroom!

The walls were white, like in the other room, but they had a bright gold outline, lining the walls and corners.

A giant mirror hung from one end of the wall, while across from it a bath , big enough to fit five people, stood in the far corner of the room. It had red stain-glass walls surrounding it, making the outline of the tub blurry.

As I was gawking at the decorations around me, I hadn't notice Edward come up behind me, until he put a strong hand down on my shoulder. I turned around, screaming in surprise and fell towards the floor.

Just as I was about to hit it, I felt arms circle me. I didn't have to look to know who's they were. My head felt dizzy when he stood me up right. "You really are clumsy, aren't you?" Edward laughed jokingly, his eyes filled with amusement.

I frowned and looked down at the ground. I heard him chuckle one more time, before I felt warm, friendly lips on the side of my cheek.

I looked back up into his deep emerald colored eyes, and smiled at him. "Thank you." I mumbled, as he handed me a pair of pants, and a shirt to wear.

He nodded. "I'll leave you alone now." he smiled, turning to walk out the door. I looked down as soon as I heard a click, signaling that it was locked.

I glanced in the mirror, once, and started to strip out of my dress. Once I was done, only clad in my blue lingerie, I slid the sleeves of the blue silk of the shirt onto my shoulders, buttoning up the front of it, the pants soon followed.

After I was dressed, I took a small white wash cloth and put it underneath the water, running from the sink. Bringing the washcloth to my face, I began to scrub at the small bits of dirt, that I had somehow gotten from the garden. Once I looked descent enough, I took out my hair, and let it fall down to rest towards the middle of my back in small waves.

I frowned at my reflection. "This is the best it'll get…" I mumbled, looking at myself in the mirror. Brown pale eyes, curly dark drown hair, a tiny nose and giant lips stared back at me.

I sighed, and turned around, almost tripping on my dress that I had forgotten about. Bending over I picked the soft blue of the fabric up and opened the door to walk out of the room.

The sight before me left me breathless.
