Suddenly the front door burst open and two voices squealed in unison "Bella!!"
EPOV
Alice and Rose practically tackled Bella, therefore, tackling me too. "Get off, guys!" I shouted.
They hugged Bella tighter for a second before letting go. They grabbed her and pulled her off the couch, almost knocking me to the floor in the process. "You have a lot to explain." I heard Rose say as she and Alice ushered an uncomfortable looking Bella out of the room. I sighed and sat back down on the couch, Alice would most likely attack me if I tried to rescue Bella from them.
"When is Charlie coming?" I asked Emmett and he looked down at his watch.
"He should be here in about twenty minutes." He answered. He grabbed the TV remote from the side table next to the couch and turned on the TV. Emmett surfed the channels for a few minutes before stopping on a college football game. In less than a minute, cheers and booing filled the room as Emmett and Jasper watched one of the teams intercept the ball.
I didn't pay attention to the game and my mind wandered to Bella and thoughts of who her attacker could be, who would fit his description…

Alice and Rose dragged me upstairs to Alice's room to talk about, I assumed, Edward. I wasn't really comfortable being in a room alone with them without Edward but I let them take me anyway. As soon as Alice's door closed Rosalie started in "Why was Edward's head in your lap?" So, I was right, they wanted to know what was going on with Edward. "And why were you looking at each other like that?!" She asked, shocked and incredulous. Alice was sitting silently and calmly, just smiling at me.
Rosalie turned on her "How can you be so calm?! This is insane!" She looked at Alice like she was crazy.
Alice grinned and her composure cracked. She was glowing in excitement as she started bouncing where she sat "First of all, I've been waiting for this to happen since we were twelve! And second, I could tell it was going to happen soon because of the way they acted around each other and the way Edward was looking at Bella in the hospital!"
Rosalie glared at Alice "You knew this was going to happen to me and you didn't tell me?!"
Alice just shrugged, not intimidated by Rosalie in the least "I wasn't completely sure. I was starting to think they'd never realize they were meant for each other." Rosalie nodded reluctantly, accepting Alice's excuse while I glared at the little pixie.
Alice smiled angelically and I opened my mouth to complain when the doorbell rang, interrupting me. I immediately became nervous, I didn't want to disappoint Charlie but everyone so close so suddenly was starting to overwhelm me.
We all went downstairs to see Edward waiting for us with Charlie behind him and Emmett and Jasper watching football. Alice and Rose joined their boyfriends but I noticed that all four of them kept shooting glances at me from the corners of their eyes.
I looked back at Edward and Charlie who were both watching me. Edward came and stood next to me, he put a comforting arm around my shoulders. This didn't bother Charlie because Edward did it all the time, which I was thankful for. "Hi, Dad." I tried to smile but it probably looked more like a grimace and Edward squeezed my shoulder gently.
"I'm right here." Edward said just loud enough for me to hear and I was glad I did. It was comforting, like it was meant to be, to know Edward was here and I smiled up at him.
"Hey, Bells." Charlie smiled his crinkly-eyed smile at me "How are you doing?" Some concern showed in his eyes and his smile faded a little.
"I'm okay. What about you?" I answered. I noticed how formal I sounded and I was talking to my dad. Charlie smiled again and opened his arms asking for a hug. I bit my lip and my eyebrows pulled together but after a short second of thought I stepped forward and hugged him. I concentrated on Edward's hand on my lower back just to be safe, I'd already freaked out from Charlie once, and I didn't want to hurt his feelings by flinching away from him again.
He finally pulled away with a huge smile "It's nice to know you're feeling better, Bells." I smiled as best I could and Charlie turned to Edward. "Thank you for taking care of my daughter and always being there." He patted Edward on the shoulder before turning to Emmett "So, who's playing and is it college or NFL?" Emmett laughed and made room for our dad on the couch as he filled him in on what was happening. Edward and I sat on the floor and watched the game with the rest of them, though neither of us were as engrossed in it.
When the game ended, Charlie said he had to go back home to get an early night because he had work early. I looked at the clock and realized it was almost seven on a Sunday. The door closed behind Charlie and Alice started bouncing where she stood "Movie night!!" she yelled in excitement. "Jasper, Emmett get the blankets and pillows. Rose and I will get snacks and Edward and Bella will get the movie ready. Go!" Everyone ran off in different directions to get ready for movie night. We'd had Movie Night every Sunday at seven PM since Edward, Alice and I were nine years old. Edward and I set up the first movie that was sitting on the DVD player, She's The Man with Amanda Bynes, as the guys got pillows and stuff and the girls got snacks.
Soon, all of us had paired off and were bundled up in blankets eating popcorn and a variety of other snacks as we watched Viola meet her roommate. (Channing Tatum (Duke) is my favorite actor ever!!) Emmett and Rosalie were on the couch and Rose was in his lap while Jasper and Alice were on the love seat in the same position. Edward was leaning up against the other side of the love seat on the ground and I was sitting in between his legs with my back pressed against his chest. We all laughed when Viola explained why she had tampons and I couldn't help but smile up at Edward whenever he laughed, which was often during this movie.
When the movie was over, we took a vote on who liked it and everyone loved it because of all the humor, especially Emmett, whose loud laugh was sure to be keeping up Esme and Carlisle who had retired to their room just before nine and at the end of the movie. We also decided that we could do another movie so Jasper got up and popped Step Up 2 in the DVD player. (I've used both of these movies in my fanfic now! I love the dancing and I totally recommend this move.)
He turned the lights off again and we waited for the movie to start. Step Up 2, didn't have as much humor as She's The Man but I still loved this movie because of all the amazing dancing they did. The final dance was extraordinary, the way they moved made it seem as if they defied gravity itself and it made me want to dance, but I'm pretty sure I'd break my neck if I tried that. Edward wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer making me sigh gently, I felt his warm breath on my neck and I shivered. He chuckled softly and kissed the indentation behind my ear "Do you like the movie?" he whispered in my ear. Not trusting myself to speak, I nodded my head and then rested my head on his left shoulder. He leaned down and kissed my neck and then brushed his lips against my collar bone, I bit my lip to keep from whimpering and I felt his lips pull up in a smile before he moved his head up to kiss along my jaw bone. His gentle warm lips brought comfort instead of fright and I felt safe inside his arms instead of terrified, there was not one similarity between how I felt for Edward and how I felt about my attacker.
I would have to tell Edward soon, we would figure out a way to keep Charlie safe and I would tell Edward his name and he wouldn't stop until they caught him. I wouldn't have to worry anymore and we could all just try and forget this and move on with our lives. When Step Up 2 ended we all said goodnight and walked upstairs together. The girls and guys stopped on the second floor, the girls going into Alice's room and Emmett and Jasper each taking guest rooms. Edward scooped me up and, ignoring my protests, carried me upstairs and into his room.
He laid me down on his bed and lay down next to me, he continued kissing my face and neck and lips like before for a few minutes and then he took his place beside me, "It's late, you should sleep." he murmured and I nodded reluctantly, I didn't want him to stop. He pulled me close to him so my back was against his chest and he wrapped an arm around my waist. I started softly tracing patterns on his arm and it was his turn to shiver. He kissed the back of my neck one more time and whispered "Good night, Bella." I smiled.
"Good night, Edward." He hummed my lullaby and I soon fell asleep in his arms, feeling safer than I'd ever felt with anyone else.
