Sorry people who wanted the next chapter now, I decided to put in Edwards POV because the majority wanted it.

I also wanted it so I am completely happy with that decision.

So I am wondering what is going to happen when Edward sees Bella with Jacob *gasp*!!!!!!

Oh well… you have to remember that Edward doesn't know about why Bella was crying just that she is and that he can't stand seeing her like that!

Well enjoy!!! You better review btw… because I will be very upset and the next chapter won't be up for a long while!!

So REVIEW!!!!

Warning: contains swearing.

Edwards POV

I felt extremely guilty after of what I did in the parking lot. She obviously didn't want to tell us what was going on in her life and we got it out of her in a most vile way. Alice told me it was the only way that would of work but still, I didn't like seeing Bella so upset, it wasn't right. I should be protecting Bella, not hurting her.

We did get what we wanted though. She had admitted that she knew about us, but didn't say the word 'vampires' as such. I need to double cheek that that's what she meant and then find out how she knew. This was the perfect excuse to talk to Bella; even though our whole family knew how I felt about her, I still felt it necessary to have a valid excuse.

I talked to Carlisle when I got home and he told me that the best course of action would be to approach her more subtly, yet Alice told me that to get the most out of her I would have to go full frontal and ask her then keep asking until I got somewhere. I decided to go with the latter.

I also hoped that the more time I would spend with Bella the more I would get to know the real her. It looked like she was hiding behind a mask most of the time and so I was desperate to find what was lurking underneath. She was so mysterious, not at all like the other girls in what she did, and not to mention she was the most beautiful creature I had ever laid my eyes on. In spending a lot of time with her, I also wanted Bella to get to know the real me. Like I said before, I just wanted her to be happy and I was sure I could make her that, but I would still let her decide if she wanted to be with me or not. I felt very protective over her and would not let one thing harm her.

It was around 1:30am when I decided to go and watch Bella sleep. I climbed into her room like I always did and found her restless. It took all my willpower not to rush over to her and calm her down, to tell her all would be all right. She began to toss around in her sheets and then her eyes shot open and she sobbed into her pillow. At that point all will power was lost and I ran over to her and tried to comfort Bella. I don't know what came over me but I climbed in next to and pulled her to my chest, whispering reassurance - I could tell Bella was still asleep and thanked the lord. I stroked her head as she sobbed into my t-shirt, she seemed comfortable in my arms which surprised me a quite a bit.

I realized, very suddenly, that I would never be able to let Bella go after tonight. I was in love and always would be in love with her. Holding her in my arms was the most magical and amazing sensation; I never wanted to move from where I was. I had finally found a mate after 100 years of looking and I wouldn't let that go easily, not even god could tear us apart now. (What about the Volturi, huh? Yes didn't think of that one did you? …Sorry, I was just getting a little to involved)

About a quarter of an hour later Bella finally began to settle and she fell asleep on my chest. When she started to shiver, I knew it was time to move and so very carefully placed her back onto her bed and sat in the corner on her rocking chair. I watched the goddess sleep peacefully for the rest of the night and when dawn began to hit I left.

I strolled home contently, thinking about the night. Why was Bella so upset?

I hated seeing her like that. I wish I could just take all the badness out of her life and just love her forever. It was a long shot, but at least I was trying.

I walked into the house and wandered up into my room, thinking about Bella.

About an hour or so later Alice walked in.

"You know there is such thing as knocking," I told her as I sat up from my sofa.

"Oh bla bla bla, you know Edward, it's a Saturday," she told me with a menacing smile on her face. I tried to invade her thoughts but she was reciting all of Madonna's number one hits in Russian.

"What Alice?" I asked wearily.

"I saw Charlie Swan go down to La Push and spend the whole day there," she said edging me forward.

"And… why do I-"

"Oh wake up Edward," she snapped cutting me off, "Bella's going to be alone for the whole day."

"Oh… and did you see something? Involving me… and Bella." A squeal escaped her lips.

"Can't say, you will just have to go and find out." A smile erupted from her face and she concentrated even harder on the songs. "Why are you still here? Go," she said basically pushing me out of my bedroom door.

I ran to Bella's as quickly as possible and stopped just outside her kitchen window. I saw her turn and walk to the fridge and thought that this was the perfect time to enter, while her back s turned. I rushed in through the door and sat at the kitchen table, locking my eyes onto Bella. She was wearing lose joggers and a hoodie, her hair was down. What was I doing? Where did all this confidence come from? Wait, what if Bella actually didn't know about us and I had just run into her house at inhuman speed and sat myself down at her table. Before I could even think the next sentence Bella had swerved round and seen me.

I heard her curse; something a lady should never do, and then saw the bowl slip out of her hand. In reaction I reached out at vampire speed and grabbed the bowl before it hit the floor, then placed it onto the table. Oh god… did I just… around Bella. I looked up and saw not shock that I had done something near impossible but annoyance.

"Ever heard of breaking and entering?" she asked venomously. Ouch, that hurt. "What do you want?" she asked just as coldly. You, I thought mentally - of course I didn't say this out loud. She grabbed the bowl and placed it on the counter then swerved round and stared straight into my eyes. I was feeling such love for this woman that I must have been showing for she drooped her glare and turned with her back to me, but not before I caught a hint of a blush.

"Well… I thought that this was the perfect time to talk to you," I told her. She turned back round but this time slower, but when I saw the look in her eyes it caught me off guard, making me abruptly stop, I felt a smile edge onto my lips. Bella had a deep blush and the tiniest of smiles, her eyes had something in it that I had never seen before and I began to get lost in them. What was she thinking? I wanted to know why she acted like this; I wanted to know all her secrets. I could just hear her heart accelerate as I looked into her eyes. "Umm…" I mumble trying to gather my thoughts but failing miserably.

I gave a frustrated laugh. Why was she having such an effect on me? Why couldn't I hear her thoughts? So many questions and only one person could answer me, and that one person was the only one who wouldn't answer me. I wanted to be nearer to her, to stand next to her touch her. I began to stand but thought better of it and stayed seated. I raked my brain again to remember why I was here.

"As I was saying, I wanted to talk to you… about what you told us in the parking lot at school," I told her leaning forward onto the table, giving her a dazzling smile.

She gave me a sarcastic look.

Bella smiled sweetly. "I don't have a clue what you're talking about." Why was my charm not working on her?

"Oh cut the crap, we know you know what we are," I snapped getting irritated now.

"Which is?"

I hesitated. What if I was about to give our family secret away? Would it be worth it? I mean this was Bella, the most beautiful, mysterious, charming, sweet, amazing woman I had ever met. Yes, she was worth it. But what if she didn't know like we thought she did, would she run away screaming? Well I was about to find out. "Vampires," I said blankly.

As I watched her, my heart would have stopped if it still beat. Her face turned to a picture of horror as I said the word. shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit… I don't believe it. Have I just ruined everything I hoped for? I could feel her expression mirrored onto my face. Before I could contemplate anymore, Bella burst into a fit a laughter.

What… the… hell? Are you kidding me? Does she think that this is some kind of joke? Either she already knew we were vampire and was playing a joke, a sick twisted joke, or she thinks I was kidding. I would of liked to believe the last one, but I knew the truth. She knows about us, and apparently doesn't mind us. But seriously.

I waited for her to calm down a bit, when she did she turned back to me to burst into another round of hysterics. I couldn't help, but marvel at her beautiful laugh, what an angel. A small while later she looked up at me with a huge grin.

"Better?" I asked unamused by her childish behavior.

"Much," she told me, her smile getting wider, "thanks Edward, I needed that." Yes you did, I thought, after last night you certainly do.

"Look, I have been trying to talk to you about this for a while now about this subject," I said trying to get back to the matter at hand.

"I know. Why do you think I haven't been giving you answers?" she told me bluntly.

"I don't know," I answered honestly. I didn't know why she wasn't answering my questions, why she wouldn't tell us what she knew. "How do you know about us?" I asked suddenly turning grave. She looked at me pleadingly.

She turned and prepared the mince then leaned against the counter and faced me. I was almost begging her to tell me the truth.

"Edward, I can't," she whispered, knowing I would hear.

"Why?" I asked. I could hear the desperation in my voice.

"Why does it matter?"

"You know our secret Bella. We need to know we can trust you with it."

"You're saying I'm going to tell the town or something? I wouldn't, I couldn't."

"What did you mean by 'your not the only one's who's life would get… ruined if the secret was out'?" I adjusted her words slightly, not wanting to say such words in front of a lady.

She shook her head, trying to clear it and then stared deeply into my eyes. I hadn't noticed before, but we had been getting very close to each other and now we were inches apart. I inhaled her unearthly smell, wow.

"What I meant is…" she drifted out of her sentence, seeming to get lost in what she was saying.

"Is…?" I prompted weakly.

We stared into each other. I don't mean she looked at me, I looked at her, but it was like I could see inside her souls. She was too beautiful and her chocolate-brown eyes boor into mine strongly. I couldn't hold back any longer leant forward and crushed my lips to her.

Her taste was the most mouth watering I had ever tasted; yet I knew I could resist. I brushed my hand lightly behind her head, then moved it under her chin. Those 10 seconds were the most magical in my existence. No, I definitely would never leave Bella, no matter what. But we broke away, Bella gasping for air.

She took a step back, looking at me in amazement. I could feel the tenderness in my expression and I know that Bella saw it to. I sat down at the table again and leant forward onto it.

"Anyway…" she said looking up from her hands. I could feel the smugness on my face; inside I was dancing with joy. I loved Bella, I truly did.

"Anyway… I believe you were going to tell me what you meant at school," I told her, looking up through my lashes, smiling. I heard her heart accelerate and then saw her blush increase.

"Umm…yes. But I can't tell you."

"Why?" I asked softly. I knew hitting hard was definitely not the best option this moment.

"I just… can't."

"Yes, you can."

"No, Edward I can't," she walked out of the kitchen and went to the front door. Bella opened it and stood to the side, waving me to leave, "I can't, you don't understand. I can't ever, I'm sorry," I saw a tear roll down her face. What was so important that she had to go through this for?

"Bella…" I whispered to her, wiping away the tear from her cheek.

"No, Edward," she pulled my hand down and broke eye contact. "You need to leave."

"Why?"

"Because… because it's too hard. I can't do it." I was hurt, she was pushing me away and I only wanted to help. She looked into my eyes and I could tell she was serious. Let me in god damn it Bella! I said mentally.

"No," I walked back into the kitchen and sat back where I had been sitting before. "I'm not leaving." I knew that this was the only way to get through to her.

"Edward Cullen get out of my house right now," she said weakly. I could tell she didn't really want me to leave.

"Bella, no matter how much you try I am just going to keep coming back and asking. I'm not giving up." I stood up and walked towards Bella, stopping a couple of feet in front of her, trying to give her space. She didn't want it. She took the last few steps towards me.

"I don't want you to give up," she whispered, looking up. At that point, at the point where Bella finally let me in, there was a knock at the door. Bella turned and I dashed out so that when she looked back I wasn't there.

I really hope Bella forgives me, thought the man standing outside the door. I went behind the house, into the thicket, and watched what was happening. I recognize him… Jacob Black I think… his grandfather was… oh god, a werewolf. What is he doing here? Why is Bella talking to him? Oh no, I can't protect her.

I looked into the mutts mind panic stricken. I saw as Bella opened the door with a blank face and as she watched Jacob apologize. "Bella… I know sorry doesn't cover it but it is a start and I know what I said was really bad and wrong and prejudice but you're my best friend and… well… I'm sorry," he said that whole sentence in one breath. He held out a small bouquet of flowers to Bella. She looked down at them and sighed. She walked back into the house and left the door open for the wolf.

What are you doing, don't let him into your house! He is too dangerous! I shouted at Bella mentally. What was she doing?

I watched some more.

"Does this mean I'm forgiven," Jacob asked hopefully.

Please say no, please say no…

"No," she told him bluntly. There is a god, "but it does mean your getting there," and he hates me!

I saw as Jacob picked Bella up into a hug, lifting her off the ground. They laughed together and I felt a tang of jealousy.

Then everything suddenly went still in the house. Jacob put Bella down on the floor and stepped back shaking.

"Why do I smell bloodsucker on you?" he asked Bella viciously.

I no, you hate me for such a big cliffy!!! I would say I'm sorry but I'm not!!!

I'm so evil!!!!
