Hey guys. I replaced the Chapter 16 with the new one, 'cause I think that that would be too short and unfair to the one who waiting for my undates. So here is the new one. it's basically the same, but I extended the last bit. Hope you enjoy.

'He is here.' Bella whispered. I turned around slowly.
'Who's here, Bella?' Again, she stayed in silence and didn't answer me. I started to panic. 'Bella, please talk to me. You start to scare me. Bella, talk to me.'
'The stalker, he is here.' She tried to sit up and I rushed to her side to help her.
'Bella, what happened? Did that guy do anything to you? Did you get hurt? Did…' I shot a lot of question to Bella but she cut off me.
'Edward, I am fine. I didn't get hurt. And no, he didn't do anything to me,' I let out a breath that I didn't realize I was holding. 'Yet.' She added calmly, as if that didn't bother her. Did she know that there was some crazy guy on loose and he/she was after her?
'Bella, how do you know he's here?'
'I went out after lunch and drove around for about an hour. When I was on the way back, I saw a black Ford following me. So rushed back and ran into the house.'
'That's why you were slightly panting when you entered the living room. Bella, from now on, you can't leave my eyesight…'
'No, Edward. You are the one in danger. Did you forget about the pictures that send to the department? Apparently, you are his target. He wants to get rid of you.' She started to raise her voice.
'Bella, he followed you at the highway. God knows what he would do any other things to you.' I raised my voice without realizing. I looked at Bella and saw tears were filling her eyes and threatened to spill. I immediately regrated what I had done to her. 'Bella, I am so sorry. I shouldn't shout at you like that. I am so sorry.' I pulled her to my chest and patted her hair. She started to calm. I suddenly remembered there was something I wanted to show Bella.
'Hey, Bella. Are you feeling better?' she nodded but didn't say anything. 'I want to show you a place. Do you think you are well enough to go?' I questioned. I didn't want her to pass out while we were out there.
'I am good, Edward. I am not that fragile.' She said as she tried to get off from the bed. But she stumbled a little when she reached the floor. I reached to her and steadied her. 'Thanks. But I am okay. So get out and let me get change.' She pushed me out of the room and shut the door.

'I am good, Edward. I am not that fragile.' I said as I tried to get off from bed. When I reached the floor, I suddenly felt light-headed. I stumbled a little. Edward reached to me and steadied me. 'Thanks. But I am okay. So get out and let me get change.' I pushed him out of the room and shut the door. I leaned my forehead on the door, tried to calm myself. I came here with Edward and things happened here was not what I expected. I went to the closet and fished some of the comfortable clothes and got changed quickly.
When I opened the door, Edward was standing at the door.
'Come on, let's go.' He led me to his Volvo and opened the door for me.
'Thank you.' I muttered.
The whole drive was in silence. I didn't know what to say to break the silence. I recognized that we were heading to the forest.
'Edward, where are we going?'
'Somewhere I would like to show you.'
The drive was short. Edward motioned me to walk into the forest with him. I followed him. The walked last about 5 minutes. We stopped at some taller bushes. Edward walked to my back and covered my eyes with his hands. Then he gently guided me to walk through the bushes.
He dropped his hands after we passed through the bushes. In front of me was a beautiful meadow.
'Wow.' I gasped. 'It's beautiful, Edward.' I turned to him and he smiled.
'Whenever I had a big fight with Carlisle, I would come here and watch the stars. It's beautiful here at night, alone.'
'Edward, why are you showing me such a special place? I am nobody to you.'
'Bella, what are you talking about? You are not nobody to me' What was he talking about? 'On the first day I met you, I knew you were different from the girls I used to date. When I talked to you, it seemed like we had known each other before, like we had known each other forever. Bella, I think… I think I am falling for you.' He then looked down as if he did something wrong. 'I guess you don't feel the same was I do.' Did I feel the same way as he did? No, I hate him. The emotional Bella came out and shouted. But who was I kidding?
Edward turned and walked to the other end of the meadow. I reached out and stopped him. 'Edward, the reason why I hate you is that I could find an excuse to stay away from you. On the first day I met you, I was freaked out by the feelings I had to you. I made people think that I hate you, so that I could convince myself. I want to hide my true feelings, but the feeling become stronger and stronger since the Anderson case. Edward, I think I am falling for you too.' My voice broke when I said the last sentence. The next second, Edward crashed his lips to mine. I kissed him back passionately. Suddenly, my cell interrupted us.
'Hello, Alice. What can I do for you?' I said sweetly. But instead of the little pixie's happy voice, a panic voice went into my ear.
'Bella, help me, please.'
What happened to Alice? Review.
A/N: I will be quite busy with my school work, since I was squeezing one year's work into 4 months. I won't have much time on this story. So it will take me forever to undate. But I promise, I will update regularly after this 4 month.
