Make It Go Away

BPOV

"Bella, Bella love?" Edward's voice was frantic as he tried to snap me out of my shock but my voice and my mind we far away.

"K…kkkaa…"

"Kate will be fine Bella, Ricardo told me so."

"You left me?" My voice was squeaky as I dug my fingernails into Edward's arms.

Edward chuckled, "No, he came to me, you just can't see him honey."

"Oh, but what about…"

"Kate? Everyone's waiting for you inside."

I struggled to stand but his arms formed barriers around my body.

"I can walk!"

He rolled his eyes as he put me on my feet.

"What do you mean they're waiting for me?" I asked, confused as to why I was still outside.

"You passed out for a moment so I kept you out here for some fresh air, they're all inside."

"Is Kate in there?"

"Yes, she's fine don't worry." He grabbed my face and brought it closer to his, examining it, "Are you sure you're alright love?"

"I'm fine Edward! I just want to know what happened to Kate!"

He sighed, putting his arms around me. "Isabella," he murmured along my neck, "You have to breathe."

I took a deep breathe and put one wobbling foot forward. The heels strayed and I could feel my ankles burning but I waved away Edward's help as he trudged beside me, mumbling incoherently.

"Emmett? Alice?" I yelled hoarsely as I followed Edward's lead.

"Bella!" Emmett yelled as he jumped to my side, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," I croaked, "What happened to Kate?"

"She was mistaken for you!" Nick hissed from what I could only assume was Kate's side, "Some sick twisted bastard did this to her and when I find him…"

"Shh," Rosalie patted his back, "She's fine Nick."

"I'm fine baby, don't worry."

"Kate?!" I squealed; I was sure she would be unconscious.

Kate managed a rough laugh and I pushed through my friends to see her. Kate was lying on a hospital stretcher and I gasped at the sight. Her hair was bloody and her body bruised.

"Oh my God Kate…" I whimpered, "What the hell!"

"Somebody grabbed me and I kicked him hard but he covered my mouth. God Bells, I've never felt so helpless in my life, ME, of all people! He pulled me into the closet and I couldn't see a thing. He started talking about how no one was coming to save me and no matter how many times I tried to scream and kick he was always there! And he kept calling me Bella…"

"Breathe Bella," Edward reminded me as I struggled to fill my chest.

"Kate, I'm so sorry…"

"It's not your fault Bells, don't feel bad. It was dark and I punched him in the face and he started swearing, that's when I screamed and he figured it out and left."

Nick punched the ground beside her, "When I find that sick mother fucker…"

"I'm so sorry." I whispered.

Nick huffed and Kate glared at him, "Don't you dare blame Bella! You damn well know it was just chance and it was dark and Bella…if it had been Bella…" Everyone nodded alongside her words.

"What? What do you mean by that?"

"You're not very strong love, Kate fought her way out, and you wouldn't have been able to." Edward explained.

"Excuse me?!"

"That's what they think!" Edward quickly corrected himself, "But you would never have been in that situation and never will be because I'm not leaving you anymore." Despite the circumstances I smiled, that little statement sent shivers through my spine.

"So why is everyone standing around?"

"The paramedic is waiting for proper bandages; she refuses to go to the hospital." Nick smiled, "She's still a stubborn bitch."

"Your stubborn bitch, baby." Kate laughed weakly as she punched his arm.

"I think I need some more fresh air?" My voice was wavering as the smell of the dried blood hit my nostrils.

"I'll take her." Edward offered as everyone nodded.

"Stay close Bells." Emmett glared at Edward, "Any trouble you scream and I'll come running."

"Mmhm." I just needed to get away now.

"Watch her!" Emmett yelled after Edward who was carrying me now as he ran through the doors and outside.

I started crying into his shoulder, "Why me Edward? Why me? Who is he, why does he want me?!" I thrashed in his arms, my dress tearing as he pulled me closer, kissing my head.

"I don't know Bella, I don't know why, if I knew I would tear him limb by limb for touching you!"

"How come you don't know?"

He sighed, "It's all in the dark love, Ricardo and I have studied it all frame by frame, but there are some things we're not allowed to know, things we must find out for ourselves."

"But Kate…" I protested.

"I know, it's horrible. When I do find him, which I will love, I will be sure to save a piece of him for Nick…"

I nodded, normally Kate was always jokingly looking out for her boyfriend but Nick loved Kate more than we accounted for, he would kill anyone that dared hurt her.

"What can I do? There has to be something I can do?"

"No, just stay safe for me. I'm not leaving you Bella, every moment I'll be watching you because if something happened to you…" he wasn't looking at me anymore and I struggled to pull his face to mine, to see what was hidden behind his eyes.

"Edward…please talk to me." My voice cracked on the last word and he stared up into my eyes, moving my hands to his chest.

"If this heart was beating Bella, it would beat only for you, only to see your face, your smile, hear your laugh everyday…Isabella I love you, nothing can ever happen to you! But, if my being here endangers you, I'll be gone. Your safety is my first priority."

I sniffled at his words, "Don't you dare talk like that! I love you too Edward and my heart does beat for you and only you! I feel like I really have known you forever. I need you with me; I can't live without you anymore…" I struggled with my words, trying to make him understand that perhaps I could love him as much as he loved me.

"I think we should go inside now, your friends are probably worried sick."

"Okay." I nodded; this was a discussion for another time. We walked together in silence, me leaning on him for support.

"Bella's back!" Alice yelled as she bounced towards me, making 'tsk' sounds with her tongue, "Your dress is ruined!"

I rolled my eyes, "How's Kate?"

"As fit as a fiddle!"

"That makes no sense."

"Well how do you expect Kate to be? As soon as they bandaged her she was jogging to prove she was fine!"

"Hey Bells!" Kate waved from where she was, in fact, jogging beside Nick.

I laughed, it was silly to worry too much about Kate, she was such a fighter.

"Hey Irina, where's Laurent?" It was a strange sight for the boys to leave their girls sides, especially at a time like this.

"He was with Nick getting something to drink when Kate was taken. Vikki fainted when we found Kate so James took her back to the hotel, she was really pale." Irina explained.

"Uhh…that still doesn't explain where Laurent is." I had no idea when I had decided to play detective but my gut said it was important, and since that had led me to Edward, I was paying more attention to it.

"He sent me a text; he went back to the hotel with James and Vikki to make all the arrangements of us leaving earlier."

"But you haven't seen him since he left with Nick?" Edward asked.

"Wait we're leaving earlier?!" I cut in.

"Yeah, with all that's been happening lately we've decided to leave tomorrow." Alice offered her explanation.

"Oh, makes sense." I was sorry for everything that had happened and even though I loved Europe, I would much rather be at home in Forks.

"No, that's true." Irina was mid-conversation with Edward.

"What's true?"

"Irina hasn't seen Laurent; maybe he could have seen who took Kate?"

"Perhaps…" Irina mused, "That would explain why he didn't come back to me, that or he didn't like the sight of Kate, he was never good with injuries…"

Edward nodded to her as Angela caught her attention.

"What was with the 20 questions?" I joked.

"You started them love, don't you remember?"

"I do, but you just seemed more serious than I did…I was just wondering if Laurent had gone missing too."

"Well my senses, which are highly perceptive because of all my knowledge of your past love, say that Laurent left a bit too quickly." Edward was keeping his voice low, for just me to hear, but I couldn't believe his words.

"You're kidding Edward! You can't honestly believe that Laurent had anything to do with this! We've all been friends forever, I trust these guys! He would never, end of story!"

"I expected this reaction, but you yourself said that he knew you Bella, and who would know you better than someone close to you?" Edward eyes darted amongst the group, searching for someone that wasn't there.

I rolled my eyes, "Are you sure I was the only one that may have hit their head? Because you are being delusional Edward, my friends are the safest people around! And let's say for one second you could be right, why would they hurt me? Want me? I'm possible the least attractive of the girls, no boyfriend, no real popularity, no real future, no one to care…" Everything I listed suddenly clicked, I was possibly the best target in the group!

"I've scared you love, my mistake, I'm just implying that people change and some…outside influence perhaps could have persuaded someone close to have a certain vengeance for you." Edward's words were chosen carefully so that most would fly right over my head.

"Cut the crap Edward, what are you saying?" He looked hurt and pouted for me and trying to distract me leaned in for a kiss.

"Mmmnooo." I huffed against his lips.

"You don't want me anymore?" He pouted again and I punched his arms.

"I don't want you lying to me or hiding things from me, understood?"

He saluted like a soldier, "Yes ma'am!"

"Good."

"Now will you listen to me for one moment?" Edward asked.

"Alright…"

"You are the most attractive of the girls in your group, you have many guys dying to be your boyfriend, you are possibly one of the most popular girls at your school, whether you choose to believe it or not, and you have a wonderful future ahead of you. Plus the fact that you have an absolutely stunning boyfriend who's also your guardian angel and will never let anything hurt you. I see no reason why you should be disappointed by any of that."

I smiled, "So you're my boyfriend now Edward? Isn't it customary that you should ask my permission before going off and bragging to your angel friends?"

He grinned and pulling his face to mine, eyes smothering me, he asked huskily, "Isabella Swan, will you be my girlfriend?"

I felt myself forget to breathe but managed to stutter, "Uhuh…"

"Guys, let's pack it up." Jasper yelled to the group, grabbing our attentions.

"When will I see you again?" I whimpered to Edward.

"I'll be by your side at all times Bella even if you can't see me; but I'll be waiting in Forks, love."

I smiled, "Wow, you were actually serious."

"Edward?" I turned to see Ricardo walking towards us.

"Ricardo." Edward greeted him.

"Hi…" I mumbled.

"Hello Bella, glad to see you in one piece after tonight." He smiled warmly which shocked me; I was sure he'd be opposed to the whole angel/human relationship.

Edward, "Breathe love, your heart is racing."

"I'm not opposed," Ricardo explained, "I'm extremely proud that Edward has finally found you; in fact, I'm more supportive of this relationship than Edward himself!"

I laughed but my brows pulled together in confusion, "How did you know what I was going to ask?"

"Ricardo knows everything love, he finishes sentences and thoughts, you'll get used to it." Edward explained as Ricardo rolled his eyes.

"Well, nephew, it's about time we get going if we're going to be in our new home by tomorrow night."

I laughed, "Goodnight Ricardo, goodnight Edward."

"Goodnight Bella." Edward smiled as he leaned down and kissed me, "Remember I'm always with you."

"Okay." I took a deep breathe as he disappeared from my sight.

"Bells?" Kate came from behind me and covered my eyes.

"Damn Kate! You just went through hell, you're covered in bruises and blood, and you decide now is a good time to be playing around?" I didn't mean for my words to sound cruel but it just boggled my mind that someone could be so fine after something so horrible!

"Oh," she glared, "Look who's judging now! So when someone grabs you or locks you into a change room we all have to walk away and act like it never happened but if it happens to me oh no! Everything is so different! We should contact the police and I should go to the hospital and act like a good little girl! When did you become such a hypocrite Bella?"

I was speechless; I didn't think my friends noticed very much.

Kate sighed, "I'm sorry Bells it's just…you don't put much effort into keeping yourself safe. Every experience we see you just shrug it off as if nothing ever happened. You really need to start caring Bella; we'd be lost without you."

My eyes stared at my feet, bruised in my heels; I couldn't look Kate in the eye. Was she right? Of course she was; I never cared what happened to me because I knew that no one would care. My friends would get over it…but now I had Edward. Now was the time to step it up so that he didn't have to save me every time, so we could focus on just the two of us. I hardly recognized myself now; a few days ago I was still living in a day dream and now that I had the real thing I'd have to be more careful.

"I'm sorry too Kate, it's just…it's so easy for me to blink everything away. Nothing will ever happen to me, I've been in more near death experiences than the entire group combined! I'm immortal; unable to be killed!" I struck a superman pose as she rolled her eyes.

"Let's go Bells; we need to get back to the hotel and pack. And…don't tell anyone I said this but, I'm actually glad we're going back to Forks!" Kate giggled.

"Only if you don't tell anyone I'm glad too!"

Kate rolled her eyes again, "You're only happy because Eddie's going to be there!"

I snorted, "Don't call him Eddie, it doesn't do him justice. And Edward…he's amazing…" I sighed, I didn't even care that he was probably listening; he was amazing to me.

"Aww look at my little Bella, completely crazy for a boy!"

"Shucks Kate, don't get me all teary-eyed!"

"AHHHH LET ME DOWN!" We looked up to find Emmett carrying Rose over his shoulder, caveman style again.

"Some things never change eh?" Kate smiled.

"Never change, and never will." We walked out to join the group as I thought about what I had said. Was I really immortal? Unable to be killed? I tried counting on my hand all the recent near death experiences; there was the Volkswagen hitting me, falling into the hole, the incident in the change room, the French dance…not to mention everything from when I was a child. I determined that with Edward by my side I really couldn't die…life had finally given me a break and it was going to let me live it out! Being careful was pointless, I'd be fine!

No one is immortal; everyone will die… I just wish I hadn't been so smug and realized how easily it could happen to me… How easily I would lose everything I had come to love in a matter of seconds and a flashing light…
