BPOV

As we sat on his bed, I explained what had happened the night I was changed, on what my father had done to me while I was visiting, and what he was trying to do to me now. While I explained my story, Edward would stare into my eyes and listen intently while I recapped what happened. Every time I would mention what Charlie had tried to do to me that night he would let out a low growl and fury would cloud his eyes…I swear when I described what had happened last night, he was about to run out of the house, and go strangle and kill Charlie, but I placed my hand over his, in hopes of keeping him there. It worked, because immediately his eyes soften and his jaw declenched.

As I came to the end of my story, I hadn't noticed I had been dry sobbing, because next thing I knew, Edward lifted me up and sat me on his lap while embracing me and rubbing my cheek with his thumb. I decided to forget the fact I had only known Edward for about a day, and allowed my head to rest on his stone chest and close my eyes while he soothed me.

-"I'll never let anything hurt you, ever again. I promise." He said while resting his head on mine. My dry sobs finally ended, but he didn't let go of me…instead, he held me tighter.

Truth be told, I really was starting to develop feelings for Edward. He was everything I could ever ask for. Kind, patient, gentle, understanding, intelligent and…loving. I couldn't ask for anything more.

We stayed like this for an immeasurable period of time, he never stopped caressing my face, I never removed my head from his chest, and he would kiss the top of my head once in a while. Every time he did, I would smile in content and get an overwhelmed feeling of happiness…and then I would have to remind myself we were only friends and that he was only doing this to make me feel better.

Only an act of friendship…He's just doing this to make you feel better…so stop getting your hopes up! I mentally chastised myself probably every 5 minutes.

Then out of all things that had to happen, someone knocked on the door. What surprised me was, Edward made no move to remove me, but held me tighten, silently commanding me to stay were I was. I looked up at him confused, and he smirked at me but I could see the longing and sadness in his eyes. I smiled and laid my head back down on his chest.

-"Who is it?" He asked calmly.

-"It's Alice. And I know Bella's in there. Carlisle wants to see her in his office. Oh, and Bella, were going shopping this weekend. Your wardrobe so needs a tune up." But before I could protest she was gone. Crap! I hated shopping! I groaned and buried my face deeper into Edward's chest.

-"I take it you don't enjoy shopping very much?" He said lifting my face to look at him. He was smiling politely, but I could detect the amusement in his eyes. I smiled back and grimaced while answering.

-"Lets just say living in Phoenix with a mother that is carefree and drags her daughter every day to go shopping for at least 7 hours each time really gets on some peoples nerves after a while…especially me." I said smiling at him at the last part.

He chuckled than pulled me off of him and sat me down beside him. I gave him a confused look, and he smirked.

-"You better get going. Carlisle wants to see you." He said calmly but his eyes were…sad? I got off the bed and started to walk out, but then I felt someone grasp my wrist. I looked back and saw Edward was leaning towards me and grabbing my hand. He smiled at me at me, and once again, I felt my head swim from the contact of his skin on mine…

-"Thanks for telling me that…and…staying with me." He said looking into my eyes. I smiled at him and rubbed his hand with my thumb.

-"Your welcome. Thanks for listening." I said while he let go of my hand…I immediately missed his touch.

Jeez! What's wrong with you! God I really had to stop thinking of him as more than I friend…

I sighed and walked out and headed for the kitchen I had seen earlier. I made my way down the giant staircase, and turned on my right where the kitchen was. I stepped through the kitchen arch way and gasped. It was beautiful! It was very large, the walls were a light blue, the counter tops were shinning black marble, the sink and stove were stainless chrome, and the black marble tiles really brought out the kitchen, and the white cabinets completed it perfectly.

I was so lost in how much it was exquisite, that I hadn't noticed Esme was standing behind the large Island in the center of the kitchen observing me.

-"I see you like the kitchen?" She asked me with amusement lacing her voice. She came over to me and gave me a warm motherly hug. I hadn't been hugged like this in so long, so I hugged her back with the same warmness she was showing me. She pulled away and smiled at me.

-"Definitely! I've never seen something this well designed!" I told her with as much sincerity I could muster. Her eyes lit up and she chuckled.

-"Actually, I'm the one who designed it, and the whole house." She said with a slight smug smile. My eyes widened and my mouth dropped.

-"Are you serious!? Wow. You should definitely go into business." I said gazing in wonder at the kitchen again.

-"No way. I only do this for my family and I. No one else." She said laughing. I soon joined her. It was true, if I had the same amazing taste and talent as her, I wouldn't do it for just anyone else. Once we stopped laughing, I remembered the reason I was down here in the first place.

-"Umm, do you know where Carlisle is? Alice told me he wished to see me." She smiled and took my hand leading me back up the grand staircase, and onto the second floor. She walked along the hallway until she reached the fourth door on the left, and motioned that this was his office. She smiled at me before she left. I took a deep breath and knocked lightly on the door.

-"Come in, Bella." How did he…? I chuckled and opened the door. It was quite large with lots of bookcases, a very nice oak desk, and a dark colored carpet. He was sitting at his desk and motioning that I sit down at one of the 2 chairs in front of him. I sat down and looked at him while he went through a file.

He closed it, crossed his arms on the table and smiled at me.

-"Alice has told me about your exceptional control, and that your only two months old! That is unbelievable!" He praised me while he smiled at me in wonder.

-"The smell doesn't bother me at all. I barely even notice it anymore." I explained to him. His eyes lit up in amazement and he started to scribble on his notepad.

-"I assume you feed from animals?" He asked me never looking up from his notes.

-"Yes. I have to say my favorite is mountain lion." I said and was surprised when he looked up and smiled at me.

-"That's Edward's favorite too. I've noticed you two have a lot in common." He said letting his pencil down and leaning back into his chair, having my full attention.

-"How so, Carlisle?" I asked politely. How would he know? He only saw us together for just a couple of minutes. He shrugged and replied simply: "The way he looks at you…I can tell he's drawn to you. And Edward is usually drawn to someone who has the same interests has him."

I looked away and suddenly realized something. Charlie! Crap! I jumped out of my seat and looked around frantically for a phone.

-"Bella, is something wrong?" He asked standing up and looking at me worriedly.

-"Charlie is literally going to kill me! I am supposed to be cooking him diner right now!" I said panic lacing my voice. He looked around his desk for a second, and then handed me a phone.

-"Call your father and tell him you're here, and then if he still gives you a hard time, hand me the phone" He told me while I dialed my number at inhuman speed. The phone rang four times before he finally picked up.

-"Hello?"

-"Dad, it's me. Sorry I'm not home, I-" As soon as I started to explain, he started yelling in the phone so loud I had to pull it away from my ear.

-"WHERE IN GOD'S NAME HAVE YOU BEEN?! I'M STARVING!" He was so sensible, I thought sarcastically. In all things to worry about, he was worried about his food! While he gave his little rant, Carlisle held out his hand for the phone and I gladly handed it too him. He started talking in the phone calmly, explaining why I was here, and making up an excuse that I had tripped while walking home and Alice had saw me, and brought me here. I eventually heard Charlie calm down and asked that I come home immediately. Great. Carlisle hung up and gave me an apologetic look. I smiled weakly at him and left his office. I told him goodbye and lightly closed the door, not wanting to damage any part of this amazing house.

I started walking down the hall and down the giant staircase when I heard a beautiful melody coming from the living room. I walked over to the room, and curiously looked around the corner, and saw Edward sitting on the piano playing the most beautiful song I had ever heard. Without even realizing it, I started to walk over to him and sat down on the bench beside him. I looked up and saw he was smiling warmly at me while he played. When the song finally ended he turned to me.

-"That was beautiful…" I said staring into his eyes. He smiled his crooked smile and placed his hand on my cheek, caressing some of my face with his thumb.

-"I'm glad you enjoyed it…You're the one who inspired it." He said looking into my eyes. I smiled and I swear I was the happiest girl in the world. I couldn't believe that that beautiful song was for me. There were no words to describe how I was feeling right now.

In that instant I knew.

I was in love with Edward Cullen.

As I basked in my new relation, I forgot about Charlie, and realized he was going to kill me if I didn't head home. NOW. I must have had some sort of panicked expression, because Edward was staring at me with a worried expression. He was about to ask me what was wrong, but I cut him off saying Charlie would have my head if I didn't head home, now. Instead of laughing, his face turned serious and he stood up with me.

-"Over my dead body." He said looking straight into my eyes with the fury I saw earlier. I smiled at him.

-"I believe I can take care of myself. I'll see you tomorrow, ok?" Tomorrow was Saturday, and his family had invited me to come hunting with them…well, forced would be a better description. His face lit up and he smiled back at me. I was about to run out the door, but the he grabbed my arm before I could move a muscle.

-"Would you like a ride? It's raining outside." He said looking at me hopefully. I couldn't deny him. It was raining outside, but I wanted more time with him. I smiled and nodded, and watched as his face lit up. He walked over to a coffee table and grabbed some keys, while I dashed up stairs to get my coat. I came back in time to see him waiting at the foot of the stairs for me. He extended his hand to me and I eagerly took it. We ran outside, and into a monstrous garage. All the vehicles in their were either expensive sport cars, or a car that looked like it was only touched like once a year because it was so beautiful.

As I gazed at the cars, I hadn't noticed Edward was grinning at me from his Volvo. I turned my head and saw he was waiting for me with a smug smile. I raised an eyebrow while I got into his car.

-"How do you afford all of this?" I asked while he started the car. He turned his head to look at me and shrugged "We have a lot of stocks. When your father as lived over 400 years as a doctor, money isn't really a problem." As he started to drive at a very fast speed, I began to wonder if this inhuman god would ever like someone as plain as me…

I shook my head. There's no way. He was meant for someone beautiful, smart and…everything I wasn't. I quietly sighed and decided to just be his friend from now on…Be his friend that was madly in love with him…

I was too lost in thought to notice we had arrived. I looked up at my house and saw Charlie pacing impatiently in the living room. Wanting to know what he was planning to do to me, I enveloped his mind.

She really has it coming now! I come home to an empty table, no food, the place isn't clean and the laundry isn't done. Who does she think she is?!

Deciding I had had enough, I disconnected and turned to look at Edward and was shocked by what I saw. He was gripping the steering wheel to the point where it might break any minute. His jaw was clenched so tight it might break also, and his face…oh god his face…was 100% pure fricken fury! His eyes were black, murderous black, and then I remembered he could read minds. I placed my hand on his cheek and turned his face too look at me. His eyes softened quite a bit and the grip on the steering wheel relaxed. I leaned forward a bit and looked straight into his eyes.

-"I can take care of myself…Don't worry about what he wants to do to me." I said softly. His eyes turned sad and he nodded sternly. I smiled softly at him and allowed my thumb to caress his face. I let my hand drop, having that feeling like half of me was gone, and stepped out of the car calling goodnight over my shoulder. As I started to walk away, I heard his window go down, and him leaning on it.

-"Keep your window opened tonight." He said while starting the car. I looked back at him confused, but he only smirked. I waved before he disappeared and took a deep breath. I turned back to face the house and started walking. Charlie was definitely going to want to hit me a couple of times. As I climb the porch stairs, I took a last deep breath before I faced what was coming. I opened the door and lightly closed it, but not before I heard his hard stomping coming towards me. I turned around and saw him approaching me with a baseball bat in hand…Crap. He would probably get confused when the only thing breaking would be his ever so beloved signed bat.

-"I'M GOING TO TEACH YOU A LEASON TO COME HOME AND ACT LIKE YOU WERE AN ACTUALL DAUGHTER OF MINE!" he exploded while raising his bat over his head. I pretended to act scared while he brought it down on me. When to bat collided with me, I heard the wood split and fall to the floor. Of course when it had collided, it had felt more like silk rubbing against my skin for all the damage it had made.

I looked up and saw his confused and horrified expression. I stood up and walked up to his face and whispered in my most venomous tone: "You can't hurt me anymore Charlie. And if you try to hurt me ever again, I will break your arms. You'd be wise to grasp and fallow that warning." I leaned away and saw his face rise in anger.

-"You will not speak to me that way young lady!" He said while pulling his fist back and bringing it to my forehead…again, it felt like silk brushing against my skin. I smirked while I heard all the bones in his hand and forearm shatter. He began to yelp in pain while he brought his hand to his chest and clutched it. Not wanting to hear anymore yelling from him, I headed to my room and closed the door. I went over to the window and opened it slightly as Edward had told me to do. I went over to by book cabinet and picked out my copy of Pride and Prejudice and sat down on my bed and began to read until it was about 10 pm. Suddenly, I heard some clothes being removed, a lot closer than it should have been. I looked up into big brown eyes filled with lust.

And then I realized something.

I had forgotten to lock the door.

OMG! whats going to happen know? What is Bella going to do? Want to find out? REVIEW! XD Im so evil, right?
