Chapter 4

"Bella, stop screaming!" Edward commanded.

I did as I was told by that sweet voice. I tried to look around for Victoria, was I dying right now and imagining the whole thing, or worse did I die and go to heaven.

"Who are you looking for?" He asked.

"Um... either Victoria or Jake, somebody to come rescue me or kill me, already" I thought.

He looked like he was expecting me to say something, like he didn't hear my mental answer, so I decided to tell him aloud. "Um... either Victoria or Jake, somebody to come rescue me or kill me, already"

"Why are you so fixated in trying to kill yourself?" He growled at me. I twinge in his arms. He looked so real, and so mad.

This was the most real Edward I had ever come up with. I must have become crazy, because I was probably dying on a cold stone somewhere. I almost forgot to answer him. "I'm not." I whispered. I didn't want my voice to cover his voice.

"Yeah, you are. Why were you with that werewolf right now? Why didn't you back up as soon as you saw him start to loose his temper?"

"He's my friend." I told him.

"You broke your promise."

"What promise?" Did I promise him something I couldn't remember?

"That you would try to be safe. Nothing reckless or stupid."

Hadn't he been there all the times that I had broken it. I thought to myself. Why was he barely complaining that I broke that stupid promise.

He stopped for a second, and held me tighter, then he jumped so high. I closed my eyes, waiting for my fantasy to be over, and the pain to start. "You can open your eyes now scary cat, you weren't so scared when you jumped off your window."

A moment later I had the nerve to open them, I was in my room. Huh? Where was Victoria? If I wasn't in danger than why was he still here?

I went over to him. Put my finger on his chest. More like poked him, to see if he was really there.

When I saw that he was as hard a stone. I gasped aloud, jumping back. What the hell? There were only two explanations to this, either I had gone mad, crazy. Or he was really here.

"Are you really here?"

"Yeah, who did you think it was my twin." He teased.

"You were the one that fought Jacob?" I asked.

"Yeah, I had to. I was just watching when I saw him start to shake. I didn't want him to hurt you."

"You didn't have to attack him, Edward. He was trying to protect me from you. I thought it was Victoria. You could just have explained it to him."

"He wasn't in control, Bella. He was endangering your safety."
I started to get up, going downstairs to get the phone. "Where are you going Bella?"

"Downstairs."

"Why?"

"I need to call Jacob, he probably think I was kidnapped by a vampire." I said anxiously. He was probably mad now, I was with Edward. As I said his name I noticed that there was no pain there.

It didn't feel like it was healed, it felt more like there was never anything to heal. As if I had never was broken, somebody had pressed rewind on the last months, back to when he loved me.

"Hello?!?" I hadn't noticed that I had picked up the phone, or dialed the numbers, I hadn't even noticed that I went down the stairs.

"Hey Jake,"

"Oh Bella, are you alright? Where are you? Did that bloodsucker hurt you----"
"Relax Jake. Take it down a notch."

"How can I relax, Bella you were kidnapped by who knows what vampire, and that stupid bloodsucker attacked me!"

"Well, I know who attacked you." I gave Edward a stare. Why did he have to attack my best friend.

"Who? All I saw as his darn back. Stupid leach."

"Um..don't get mad okay Jake," I warned him.

"Spit it out, Bella."

"Um...." that's when Edward snatched the phone from me.

"It was me. And you didn't give me a choice, you were about to attack her."

I heard Jake yell back at him.

"No. I am the safest for Be--"

I snatched the phone from Edward, more like tried. I forgot how strong he was.

"Bella, what are you trying to do?"

"I was trying to talk to Jacob." I told him, My hand stung. I heard hollering in the other line.

"Can I please use my phone?" He said something under his breath, and handed the phone to me.

"Hey, Jake."

"Bella, I'll be there in a few minutes, so don't worry, I'll protect you."

"Jake, its just Edward, he's not going to hurt me."

"He already did, remember a few months ago." He pointed out.

"He's not going to eat me or anything." I looked at him too see if he heard what Jacob said. I couldn't help but look at his eyes, they were pitch black. Maybe he was here to.......... No stop Bella. Remember he doesn't drink human blood.

Maybe he did. For all I knew, he could have changed.

Stop.

He's the same Edward I thought. Minus the love that he used to feel for you. I added.

"Fine, if you want to kill yourself I don't care."

"Jake!--" I didn't continue because he hanged up on me. Great I just lost my friend. I wonder if he would forgive me when Edward was gone.
