A/N : Thanks sooo much for your help guys! Everyone. A lot of people liked the vulnerability one so I used that one and twilight-is-lovee made me realize it would work! Since Bella doesn't even know she has the power to shield mind powers, she didn't stop him before. Sorry, twilight-is-lovee I only used half of your idea. Sorry Amanda, too. I loved your idea but it wouldn't work with something that's going to happen later. Thanks everyone! :)
Disclaimer: I've forgotten about this for the past few chapters. I don't own twilight, Stephenie owns it all. Except Ian.
Sorry if this chapter is a bit confusing. I don't like writing from Ian's POV
Not knowing where I was going, but I would just save Edward from having to see my face every day.

"You! Out. Now!" Edward yelled at me. It took an enormous effort not to laugh at his expression, but if I wanted Edward to be away from Bella, I couldn't laugh. On purpose, I gave one long knowing look at Bella. She grimaced, knowing this wouldn't look too good.
I turned and left in a hurry. I started walking slowly as soon as I was out of the house. I found a nice big tree near the house and I sat down against it. I listened to Edward and Bella's argument. It was better than I imagined. I sighed feeling satisfied.
I continued listening to their fight, enjoying as she too got furious and screamed back at him. That was a bad move on her part. When I got bored, I simply thought about Bella. She really was something to look at. Not my usual type, but she'll do.
I let my imagination run wild. I knew Edward could read minds so I made it good. Making sure it looked like a memory, I imagined Bella telling me she loved me and all kinds of stuff that would make poor jealous Edward explode. I really hoped he would take it out on Bella, so she would leave him and come to me for comfort.
I hear Edward stop yelling. Yes. He was listening to my thoughts. Bella screamed and he left. After a long moment, she started sobbing. This isn't good. If I can hear her, Edward can too. He might just go back in there and comfort her.
He didn't. Bella noticed too. She opened the window, jumped out, and started running.
I would catch up with her later. She would cry, I would hold her, and Edward would just deal with it.
I was immensely thankful for my powers. It really comes in handy to make people feel vulnerable. Bella didn't even know what hit her. In a normal situation, Edward would have never yelled at her, but thanks to me he actually believed she loves me.
Just as I got up to go catch up with her, I remembered something that stopped me right where I was.
Edward was listening to my thoughts.

As I paced around the room, I heard Bella crying. It broke my heart. I was being a jerk and I knew it. I didn't know what took over me before. I heard the window being open. That triggered my memory.
"I was crying, Edward! He held me while I cried and then- and then he kissed me! He kissed me!"
Why had she been crying? Had he made her cry?
Then I remembered I hurt her, too. The look in her eyes when I said I didn't trust her haunted me. Why had I said I didn't trust her? I did. I loved her, too.
I turned and reached for the doorknob but yet again, I was interrupted by Ian's obnoxious inside voice.
I was immensely thankful for my powers. It really comes in handy to make people feel vulnerable. Bella didn't even know what hit her. In a normal situation, Edward would have never yelled at her, but thanks to me he actually believed she loves me.
My teeth clenched and my hands turned into fists. A low growl escaped my chest as I made my way to Bella's room to apologize. I would do whatever it took to make her forgive me.
I opened the door as gently as possible, but threw it open as soon as I realized Bella was not in the room. My eyes scanned the whole bedroom. The window was open and no Bella. I could still smell her freesia scent so she hadn't been gone for long. She was pretty fast, though.
I made my way out the window and followed her scent.

After a half hour running, I slowed down. Everything was clear though, even as I raced my way past it. I could see every detail. My breathing was even as if I had been just walking around. I sighed. I did my best to not think about Edward. I didn't know why I stopped; I guess I didn't really want to leave.
I sat down in the middle of the empty road. I stared out into nothing, hoping that Edward would come and find me, thought I didn't see a reason why he would.
It started to rain. Just my luck. I just sat there. Waiting. All hope was lost so I wasn't really listening to see if anyone was coming.
It took my head a sixteenth of a second longer than it should have to figure out someone was calling my name. Not someone. Edward.
I felt whole again. Don't get your hopes up! He's probably just wondering what you're doing in the middle of the road. One word. Exposure! But I didn't listen to my own thoughts. I felt hope.
For some reason I felt like crying. I was happy. Edward was here. I was sobbing by the time Edward came into view.
"Bella?" His voice full of love and concern.
I couldn't answer him, the sobs just kept on coming. He sat down next to me and pulled me onto his lap. I wrapped my long hard arms around him, never wanting to let go. His hand kept rubbing relaxing circles in my back, soothing. I buried my head in between his head and his shoulders.
"Bella, honey, I'm so sorry." He whispered. "I don't know what came over me. I'm sorry. I'm so very sorry, Bella. Please forgive me."
That just made me cry harder. Why was I so emotional these days?
"Bella? Please talk to me." His voice was pleading. His golden eyes smoldering. It was too easy to believe him.
"Oh, Edward. I'm sorry, too. I didn't mean to- I-and he –then you came- I'm sorry." My voice broke.
"Bella. It's not your fault."
"I-"
"It's Ian's power. He made you feel vulnerable, sweetie." My eyes widened.
"What?" I asked, my tone was dead. How could Ian do this to me? Why? I heard a growl coming from somewhere close; I looked around only to realize it was coming from me.
"It's okay, Bella. It'll be fine." He leaned in and whispered in my ear. "How about we go home?"
That instantly pushed all my problems away and brought a smile to my face. I would do anything, as long as I had Edward. I nodded.
He got up and picked me up bridal style. He tightened his grip on me. "Ready?"
"Wait" I grabbed his face in my hands, and pulled him to me. Our lips were together and we breathed each other in. I missed him. I pulled away after a couple of minutes.
"Ready" I said.
He smiled his beautiful crooked smile and carried me home.
