So, thanks to the people who reviewed. I hope you all are liking where the story is going… and I know this is a short one but it is a filler. Please bare with me, its gonna be great in the next few chapters. Enjoy :P
Edward looked deep into my eyes. I could tell he didn't believe me – hell, I wouldn't have believed me either. But he did trust me, and that was heart wrenching. I wish he would see how disgusting I was, how filthy, and leave me be. I didn't want to hurt him. I refused to. But I had to. For his safety.
Edward let me rest the next day, and sat by my side on the couch while I watched TV. He absentmindedly twisted his fingers through my long chocolate brown hair while I lay across his chest, most of the time not paying attention to the movies he played.
We sat there the whole day and all the time my brain just kept yelling at me, 'your wasting precious time with him! I can tell you don't wont to leave him, and using up this week with him will just make it harder! Leave NOW before it hurts too much!'

Later that night, when Charlie came home, Edward decided it was time to leave. He helped me up to my room and laid me down on my bed. It was so like him to not trust my balance now that I had a head injury to go along with it.
"Edward," I breathed. "Don't go."
"Bella, love. I have to. Your father wants to take care of you."
"But I want you, can't you see?" I pressed.
"Bella," he whispered into the crook of my neck as he bent down to kiss me. "I will be back later. Besides, you need some more of your painkillers now. I'm sure you will be out like a light in 20 minutes anyway." He smiled my crooked grin at the end of this. He always thought it was cute watching me struggle to stay awake.
"Fine," I humped. "You're not getting away this easy tomorrow."
With that, Edward kissed me again, this time full on the lips, cracked a giggle and went to get me my meds. He came back in, not too short a time later, handing me two tablets and a glass of water.
"I will be seeing you tonight," he promised as he walked down the stairs to leave in a 'human' way.
I didn't want to take the pills straight away. I wanted to read. So I lent across my bedside table and grabbed the first book on the top of my pile, 'I'd tell you I love you, but then I would have to kill you'. I repositioned my pillow so I could lie across my bed head without hurting my back, and settled down to spend some quality time with my book.
But I was interrupted a few minutes into my reading by the phone on my bedside table ringing.
'I'll let Charlie get that', I thought.
"Bella! Can you get that? I'm about to jump in the shower. If its Neil, tell him I will ring him later."
'Great,' I thought to myself as I hit the talk button. "Hello, Swan residence."
"I changed my mind," breathed a raspy voice.
"I'm sorry?" I questioned, a little freaked out. Trust a psycho to ring when Charlie couldn't answer the phone.
"I said, Bella, I changed my mind."
"Jacob?" I questioned, my tone flat – repulsed.
"Get your ass down here in two days and I wont hurt him."
"Jacob! That's not fair! You-"
The phone beeping cut me off. He had hung up on me. And now all I had was a full day with him, and one day to kill him.
'I can't deal with this', I thought. I grabbed my meds, and went down to the kitchen to get some Mysindol. (A/N: they are heavy duty panadol :P)
I swallowed them along with the killers and went back up to my room, to crash on my bed for a dreamless night.
So how was it? Next chapter is going to be awesome!!! And LONG. I've begun writing it now. Please tell me if there is anything you think I should include… like something you want Bella to say, or Edward too.
Hehe. Its gonna be good. Please stay with the story, I know the last one was a little boring but it was necessary to get a good lead up for the next CHAPTER!!!
Review. Review. Review. I can't say it enough.
Love you all,
E-dog
