Edwards POV

I lead Bella out to my car and opened the door for her. She hesitantly stepped in. I shut the door once she was in and rushed to the other side of the car. I began driving towards an Italian restaurant in Port Angles. The ride was silent. I said nothing and neither did she. Enough talking would be done soon enough.

Alices POV

I had just laid Lizzie in her bed when I felt a pair of arms wrap around me. I turned to see Jasper. I smiled slightly at him. We had started to get close in the past few weeks. I had been staying with Bella at his and Edwards place. I think I was beginning to feel more for him than just friendship and that scared me when I thought of everything that Bella had gone through. But I brushed those thoughts off as irrational fears. Jasper was sweet and kind.

"Hello Jasper," I said quietly. "What did I do to deserve a greeting like this?" He smiled.

"Oh nothing in particular." He told me. I smiled softly. He slowly leaned towards me. Not realizing, I too was leaning towards him. Suddenly our lips were less than an inch apart. A small smiled played on his lips right before he leaned down and pressed his lips to mine. Kissing Jasper was powerful, passionate, dare I say love filled, and definitely full of lust. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer. He snaked his arms around my waist pressing my body to his. He was suddenly holding me off the ground so it was easier to kiss me. I instinctively wrapped my legs around his waist. Suddenly I was laying beneath him on his bed.

Edwards POV

We had finally arrived at the restaurant. I helped Bella out of the car. I snaked my arm around her waist as we walked in. She glanced up at me. The hostess walked up to us.

"Hello I'm Jenny I will be your hostess tonight. Table for two?" She said quickly looking at me through her lashes. I nearly shuddered in disgust. I simply nodded and she led us two a table. I frowned and glanced down at Bella.

"Perhaps somewhere more private?" I asked.

"Oh...Sure." She answered and led us a further back. "Hows this?"

"Perfect." I answered and helped Bella into the booth and slid in next to her.

"Okay a waitress will be right with you." She said as she walked away. Still me and Bella didn't talk. Just as the hostess had said the waitress was there in seconds.

"Hello. I'm Mary. I will be your waitress for tonight. What can I get you?" She said hurriedly.

"Hm. How about to ravioli's and two cokes." I told her ordering for Bella knowing how Bella was with people right now. When the waitress left I turned to Bella.

"Bella. Do you seriously believe a word you said to Alice?" I asked her. She glanced away. "Do you seriously believe you shouldn't love me or that I shouldn't love you? How can you think I am too good for you or your not good enough for me?"

"I am nothing Edward. I am damaged goods. I have nothing. I am not extremly pretty. I am so average. Then you are smart, insanely gorgeous, sweet, kind." She whispered.

"Damn it. Bella. You are beautiful. I am not to good for you. You are wonderful mom who loves her daughter. You can't help anything that that bastard did to you. Sure your weak, I suppose. But Bella not everyone can be strong because if everyone was people like me wouldn't have anything to protect. I bet you are smart if you let yourself open up a little bit Bella. What he did to you doesn't affect how I feel about you. It doesn't affect the fact I want your more than my own life or that I want nothing more to hold you in my arms and protect you." I told her softly. "Damn it Bella it seems like I was meant to move in next door to you and pull you out of there. I haven't known you long at all and damn it I love you Bella."She sat there frozen in shock. The waitress had brought our food and it sat there untouched for the moment. I reached over and grabbed her hand. She leaned forward and wrapped an arm around me and leaned against my shoulder.

"I love you Edward," She whispered.

I glanced down and smiled and gently kissed the top of her head.

"Bella do me the honors of being my girlfriend?" I asked her softly.

"Yes." She answered in the same hushed tone. I slowly intertwined our fingers.

"We can take things as slow as you need to. I don't ever want to pressure you into something you aren't ready for. I promise you I won't do anything you don't want me to. Promise me that if I do something or begin to do something you aren't comfortable with you will tell me?" I ssaid softly.

"I promise." She whispered.

"Please eat." I said gesturing to the food lightening the intense mood. She laughed slightly and picked up a fork and started eating not once leaving the position she was in leaning against me.

Alices POV

I slapped my hand to my mouth in shock. I looked over at Jasper. The realization of what we had just done swept over us both. He smiled over at me and pulled my hand from my mouth and leaned his forhead against mine.

"I have wanted to do that for days now. I have to be honest Alice. What I feel for you is a lot more than friendship." He whispered. I smiled.

"Really?" I asked and he nodded. I didn't say a word just leaned forward and pressed my lips to his. Then I heard Lizzie scream. I jumped up and pulled on Jaspers t-shirt which lay on the floor as he pulled on his boxers. I raced to Lizzie and Bellas room and swung the door open. I stopped in my tracks to see James holding a knife to Lizzies throat.

"One Move and shes dead." He said coldly.
