EPOV

Three days, it had been three days since the last time I saw her. Since the last time I got to look into her eyes and see her smile. And I was going completely out of my mind. Yesterday I thought of going to Alice's but I couldn't think of a good reason. I could have simple told her I wanted to check up on things but Alice always knew when I was lying. I really didn't want to have to explain to her that I came to her apartment to see her beautiful roommate Bella. Even thinking her name made me smile. But I wasn't ready for people to know how I felt.

"Ed, are you even listening to us," Emmett waved his hand in front of my face.

"Ummm, yeah what did you say?"

They both started to laugh, "I knew you weren't listening," Emmett patted my back.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what were you guys talking about," I looked at Emmett and Jasper sitting on the couch.

"Rose called me earlier about going out with them tonight. I wanted to know what you guys thought about it," Jasper said while flipping through the TV channels.

"Where are they going," I tried not to sound excited but the thought of being able to see Bella tonight almost made me burst.

"Rose said something about wanting to go out to a club. The three of them are going to look up a few places online to figure out which one they want to go to. Do you guys know any good ones," he looked over from the TV to us.

"Why do they want to go to a club?" I did not like the sound of the three girls going to a club. Guys go to clubs, guys that are looking for girls go to clubs, and I did not want these guys near the girls.

"She said something about and I quote, 'we want to get our dance on'. Then I heard laughter in the back," Jasper rolled his eyes but started to laugh a little.

"We have to go," Emmett threw his hands down on the couch. "We can not let them go out by themselves. Boys will be all over them," his fists clenched together.

"So then we are going to go," Jasper asked.

"Yes, I agree with Emmett we have to go. We have to keep our eyes on the girls and make sure that none of the guys get too touchy feely," the thought of some guy putting his hands on Bella made my stomach hurt.

"Alright I will call her back and let them know we are in," he picked up his phone. "Hey Rose, I talked to the boys and we are in for tonight," there was a long pause before Jasper spoke again. "Yeah, yeah that sounds good. So do you want us to pick you up and then we can all go out to eat before hand?" Jasper was brilliant; going out to dinner with the girls would mean I would get to spend more time with Bella. "Okay, so we will come get you guys around eight. Yep, see you guys then love ya." With that he hung up the phone.

"So what is the plan for tonight," Emmett asked stealing the remote from Jasper.

"We are going to go over to the girls around eight," I quickly checked the clock, only six more hours until I got to see Bella. "We're going to go out to eat with them then go to Twilight. I guess Alice," Jasper looked at me, "found it online and said it would be perfect."

I groaned, "Great, Alice picked the club? We should be in for a long night." My head fell back.

"Oh and we have to pick where to eat. Rose said that we would know the best place to go since we have lived here longer then them."

"We should bring them somewhere fun," Emmett said after he finally picked a show to watch, ESPN no surprise there.

"How about we just go to the diner," the diner was a place we would frequently eat at. It had great food and the workers were always really nice to us.

"Good idea Ed," Emmett gave me a high-five.

The three of us went back to watching the TV in silence but my mind was working a million miles an hour. I wondered what Bella would be wearing, I knew it was something that Alice, and probably Rosalie, would pick out for her. No matter what she had on I knew she would look beautiful. I also knew that guys would be all over her no matter what she had on. Bella had a beauty you couldn't hide and a guy would have to be blind not to see it. Alice was also going to be there and she was just as pretty. I had never had a problem in the past with having to scare guys away but I knew it would happen sooner or later.

"Let's play some video games," Emmett threw Jasper the controllers. "Ed, you can play winner."

We played video games for hours, only stopping when Emmett would get hungry and demand we ate something. We joked around the whole time and the six hours passed before I knew it.

"Alright men," Emmett stood up from the couch, "we should start to get ready. I'm going to go take a shower and change."

Jasper and I followed behind and each went to our own room. I stared at the clothes in my closet for a few minutes not knowing what to wear. Normally I wouldn't care what I looked like, especially going to a club, but tonight was different. Tonight wasn't just any night; tonight I would get to spend more time with Bella. I finally picked out a black button up shirt and a pair of faded jeans. Emmett knocked on my door to let me know that the shower was all mine. Over the years we had gotten into a routine, Emmett would shower first knock on my door, I would go next then knock on Jasper's door. It was simple but it worked for us. I showered quickly excited to get going over to the girl's place. I had never felt like this about another girl, I felt like a teenage girl not a guy who was almost twenty-one. After I was dressed I rolled up the sleeves of my shirt to my elbows then took one last look in the mirror.

"Checking yourself out Eddie," Emmett asked from the door.

"Don't call me Eddie," I sat on the bed and started to put my shoes on.

"Okay," he sat down next to me and let out a sigh.

"Is something wrong man," I slipped on my other shoe and looked up at him.

"I'm just wondering how to be a good brother tonight to Bella. I mean I want her to have fun but I don't want her to get hurt by some guy. And the guys are going to be all over her tonight," his hands came up to rub his eyes.

"Yeah I'm worried about the same thing for Alice," and for Bella but I didn't want to say that out loud.

"You guys almost ready to go," Jasper asked walking past the door.

"Hey Jasper, what are you going to do tonight about Rose?"

He leaned against the doorway and folded his arms over his chest, "I'm not sure yet. I want her to have fun but I don't like the thought of boys touching her." He let the same frustrated sigh that Emmett had let out earlier. "I don't want to be the same overprotective big brother that I was before but I don't want to sand back and do nothing. What are you going to do Edward?"

"I have no idea," I ran my hand through my hair.

"I got it," Emmett jumped off the bed and started to walk back and forth. "Jasper, you don't want Rose to be hit on by creepy club guys but you don't want to come off as the controlling big brother right?" Jasper nodded his head, "And you want the same thing for Alice right Edward?" It was my turn to nod my head. "Okay good and I want the same for Bella." His face broke out in a big smile, "Then I have the perfect idea. How about Jasper watches out for Alice, Edward watches out for Bella, and I watch after Rose." Emmett looked pretty proud of himself but I wasn't so sure. I liked the idea of spending the whole night with just Bella but this didn't seem like the right way.

"I don't know Em, doesn't that seem kind of shady," I looked up at Jasper for some backup.

"Yeah Em, I'm with Edward on this one. We can't do that, if the girls found out they would be pissed."

"So we are just supposed to sit back and watch creepy guys put their hands all over our sisters," Emmett looked disgusted and my stomach started to hurt.

"No I don't like the idea of that either, Ed can you think of any other way," Jasper asked me.

"I'm not sure."

"Come on guys, this is perfect. This way we can watch out for our sisters and not have to worry about them getting upset with us. I know that you wouldn't do anything to hurt Bella, I wouldn't hurt Rose, and Jasper would never hurt Alice. Guys this is a great plan," Emmett had a way of convincing us that his plans were always great.

"Fine," Jasper was the first to give in.

"Yeah I guess," Emmett's face broke out into a big smile as he rubbed his hands together.

"Perfect, now let's go pick up the girls."

We decided to take two cars, Emmett's jeep and my Volvo, since we all wouldn't fit in one car. I was alone in my car which was good for the pep talk I had to give myself.

"Alright Cullen everything is going to be good tonight," I ran my hand through my hair. "Bella is just another girl," even I didn't believe it but I still had to try to convince myself. "Yeah just another beautiful, stunning, amazing girl. But you have to stay calm tonight; you don't want to scare her away. And you don't want her 'big brother' kicking your ass."

I had just pulled up to the apartment with Emmett's jeep right behind. We all got out of our vehicles and made our way to the apartment.

"So Jasper and I were talking on the way here," Emmett said as we opened the door to the lobby. "We decided to watch out for each others sister but we can not let them know about it. So do not make it obvious Cullen," he playfully punched my arm. "And," his voice got low and deadly, "if you hurt Bella I will hurt you worse then you can ever image." I was truly scared of Emmett in that moment. "Ha ha ha, your face is priceless Ed. I know you won't hurt her so there is no need to worry," we got to the stairs and went up to the second floor.

Part of me knew that Emmett was joking but the other part of me knew he really would kick my ass if I ever hurt her. Good thing hurting Bella was the last thing I ever wanted to do. Jasper got to the door first and knocked twice.

"Come in," Alice yelled from behind the door.

The door was unlocked so we made our way into the apartment. We could hear talking and laughing coming from Alice's room so we started to make our way down the hall.

"Stay where you are," Rose called from the room, "we aren't ready yet so just put something on the TV."

"Bella, you guys should always keep the door locked. And check to make sure who is there before you let people in. You need to be safer littler sister," Emmett sounded very big brotherly. I too was upset that the girls just let us walk into the apartment without even checking. They were too trusting, that is fine when living in small towns but they would have to learn soon that Seattle is not Forks.

"Okay Brother Bear, I will remember next time," her voice. Oh how I had missed her voice over the last few days.

The three of us sat down, Emmett on the loveseat while Jasper and I sat on the couch, and waited for the girls. Of course Emmett found ESPN and we sat in silence.

"You guys ready for us," Alice's voice yelled from her room.

"Yeah it has been forever," Emmett joked.

"Well it is worth it when we look like this," Rose walked into the living room in red dress that hugged her body. It showed off a lot of cleave and skin and I thought Jasper was going to die (picture on profile). Her hair was down and curled, she looked beautiful and I felt bad for my friend.

"Rose what in the hell do you think you are wearing," he jumped up from the couch and over to his sister. "Go change into something else."

She rolled her eyes at him, "Chill out bro, I can promise you that I won't even be the worse dressed at the club." She patted him on the shoulder.

"She is right," Alice came into the room wearing a short blue and black dress, if you can even call it a dress it was more like a shirt (picture on profile). Her hair was spiked in the back and she had dark makeup around her eyes.

"Alice," I pinched my nose with my thumb and pointer finger. "Please tell me that is not what you are going to wear, it barely covers you up," she started to laugh.

"Oh Edward, we are going to a club not church. All of the girls will be wearing fewer clothes then we are," that didn't make me feel any better. "Bella get your ass out her," she yelled down the hall.

I forgot how to breathe as soon as I saw her. The orange dress she had on made her look like a goddess. Her hair was pulled back into a pony tail and curled; she had a little makeup on which only made her look even better. The dress was short and showed off her amazing legs, legs that looked so soft and touchable. The v-neck showed just enough cleavage to leave you wanting more. I ran my hand through my hair, tonight was going to be a hard tonight. Her face was red from all the attention she was getting from us.

"Little sister," Emmett sounded like he was in pain. "You have got to be kidding me, there is no way in hell I'm letting you out of the apartment wearing that."

Bella put her hands on her hips and narrowed her eyes at Emmett, "Let me out of the apartment. Nobody tells me what to do Emmet, and this is the dress that Alice and Rose picked out for me so if you have a problem I suggest that you talk to them about it. But I can already tell you that there is no way they are going to let me change so why don't we save time and just go," Emmett looked down at his feet ashamed.

"Bella, I'm sorry. Forgive me little sis," he got up and pulled her into a tight hug. It was the first time I saw the back of the dress; it was quite low and showed off more of her creamy white skin.

"Alright, let's get moving," Alice started to push people out of the apartment.

"Make sure you lock the door," Jasper said as we all stood in the hall.

Once the door was locked we made our way to the cars, it ended up being Alice, Bella, and me in my car with the other three in Emmett's jeep. I couldn't help but look in the review mirror ever once and a while just to look at Bella. She really was beautiful; I hoped that tonight I would get the chance to dance with her. To feel her body pressed against mine, I'm sure she would feel good.

"So where are we going," Alice looked over at me pulling me out of my little fantasy.

"You'll see when we get there," I pushed her shoulder.

"Shut up Edward, just tell us," Alice squinted her eyes at me.

I started to laugh, "And what would be the fun in that Alice."

She stuck her tongue out at me and folded her arms. Bella started to laugh in the backseat. "What is so funny Bella," Alice turned around to look behind her at Bella.

"You guys are funny together," she giggled. "I like it," a small smile pulled on her lips which made me smile as well.

Just then we made it to the diner, "Yummy, is this the diner that you talked about all the time?"

"The one and only," I told her.

I tried to get out of the car fast enough to open the door for Bella but she beat me to it. We made our way inside and got a booth big enough for the six of us. Bella excused herself to the bathroom before the other three showed up. When I saw Emmett's jeep I told Alice that I had to go to the bathroom and I would be right back. That way everyone would be sitting down by the time I got back. If it worked out how I planned then I would get to sit beside Bella or at least across from her. I spent five minutes in the bathroom looking in the mirror and splashing cold water on my face. Then I made my way back out to the others. Luck was on my side and the seat next to Bella was free. I slide in next to her and my right side instantly felt warm. It was the closest I had been to her and I hoped it wasn't the last.

Dinner was a great time. Everyone joked and talked about different things that had gone on in the last few days. Alice and Rose had fun telling stories about the junk-food girly-movie night. I was happy that all the girls were getting along so well, they seemed perfect together. Bella was quite for most of the night, laughing at the others but not sharing much. I got the feeling that she was the type of person that kept to herself; I just hoped that I would be able to bring her out of that shell over time. And I did plan on spending more time with her. If I had it my way a lot more time.

Before I knew it dinner was done and we were back in my Volvo on the way to Twilight. My stomach started to tighten the closer we got to the club, I knew what my 'job' was tonight but I was still nervous about it. All I wanted to do was dance with Bella and be close to her but I didn't want to scare her away.

Alice started to bounce up and down in her seat as I parked the car, "I'm so excited." She jumped out of the car.

This time I was fast enough to get the door open for Bella. "Thank you," she softly said.

"You're welcome. So are you just as excited as my sister is," I desperately wanted to talk to her, to know what was going on in her head.

She threw her head back in laughter, "Yeah right." I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She looked beautiful while laughing, "Dancing and I are not friends. I try to stay far away from dancing."

"Oh come on Bella," Alice grabbed her hand. "We are going to have a great time tonight."

"We are going to get our dance on," Rose joined the girls while shaking her hips.

Jasper and Emmett came to walk next to me. Each of us had a look of pain on our faces. "Tonight is going to be a very long night," Jasper whispered next to me. Emmet and I nodded our heads.

There was a long line in front of the club but Rose made her way to the font motioning for the three of us to follow. The bouncer looked from Rose to Alice and finally to Bella and let us all in. I did not like the way he looked at the girls, my hands were balled up into fits at my sides and we walked into the club. Guys could not take their eyes off of the girls as we made our way through the sea of people. Alice found a table close to the dance floor and sat down in one of the chairs.

"Do you guys want us to get you something to drink," Emmett asked the girls.

"Just water," Rose yelled over the music while Alice and Bella nodded their heads.

Jasper stayed back with the girls while Emmett and I made our way to the bar. Some girls tried to get us to dance with them on the way I felt bad pushing them away but some wouldn't take no as an answer. We finally got to the bar and got waters for everyone. None of us were old enough to drink yet, Emmett would be the first one to be twenty-one in a week. When we got back the table we found Jasper sitting at the table by himself. His face was towards the dance floor and he didn't even look up at us when we got there.

"What are you looking at man," Emmett set the glasses down on the table, "and where are the girls?"

When he didn't answer us I looked in the general direction that he was looking. Then I saw the three of them. Bella was sandwiched in-between Alice and Rose. It looked like the two of them were trying to teach her to dance. Alice had her hands on Bella's hips and Rose had her hands on Bella's shoulders. Bella's eyes were closed she was swaying to the music. I couldn't pull my eyes away from her, she looked hot. There was no other way to describe it; well sexy was another word that worked.

All of a sudden some guy made is way over to the three girls. Jasper was instantly on his feet making his way to the dance floor with Emmett and me close behind. We were only a few feet away from them when we heard Rose.

"Back off buddy we don't need you to dance with us to have a good time. We are doing just fine by ourselves," I felt better knowing that at least one of the girls would say no to the creepy guy.

The guy turned around and looked at us, "Don't try with them, those girls are no fun." I wanted to go after him and give him a piece of my mind but I didn't want to leave the girls.

Alice saw us just then and waved us over, "You guys come to dance?"

"Yeah," Jasper spoke up first.

"Edward dance with Bella," Alice grabbed my hand. It was dark in the club but I could still see Bella's blush it made her look amazing. "She really is a bad dancer. Bella," she looked at her friend, "Edward is a great dancer and I'm sure he will be able to help you."

Just then the music changed to a faster song and Alice pushed Bella into my arms. "We don't have to do this if you don't want to," she looked up at me.

"I don't mind at all," I gave her a crocked smile. "Dancing is all about listening to the music," I pulled her a little closer and put my hands on her hips. "You've got to feel the rhythm, move your body with the song." I started to push her hips back and forth with the beat. Her body felt amazing under my hands, so warm and small. I looked down at her; her eyes were closed as she swung her head side to side with the song. If I thought she looked sexy before, she looked positively sinful right now. Just then the smell of her hair hit me, sweet strawberries. I wanted to pull her closer to me but I was afraid to scare her. The song ended and she kept dancing, we dance for four songs before she said she needed a break. I went back to the table with her to get some water.

"Thanks for dancing with me," she gave me a smile while drinking her water.

"It is my pleasure," if I could I would dance with her all night long.

I wanted to talk to her, get to know more about her, but a club wasn't the best place for that.

"Bella," Alice jumped up on the chair next to her, "what are you doing here? Come out and dance with us." Emmett and Jasper sat down next to me while Rose stood behind Alice. Alice got Bella to her feet then looked over at us boys, "You guys stay here or go find something else to do. I think we've got it from here," I didn't like the sound of that but the girls were already walking away.

"What do we do now," Emmett asked.

"I guess we just sit here and wait for them to be done. Did you guys want to get something else to drink," Jasper asked since all of the water was gone now.

This time Jasper and I went to the bar, just like last time girls stopped us wanting to dance. It was getting hard to get these girls to leave us alone. On the way back to the table two blonds stopped us.

"Hey there sexy," the taller blond came closer to me. "Want to have some fun," she batted her eyelashes as me.

"Sorry I'm here with some people," I tried to walk around her.

She moved to stop me, "Awww don't be like that baby, you know you want to have some fun." She pushed her body closer to me. I looked over at Jasper for some help but he had his hand full with the other girl.

"I'm sorry but my friend and I really need to get back to our dates," I pushed past her with Jasper close behind. "What is with these girls?" I asked as we got to the table.

"What took you guys so long," Emmett grabbed the water.

"Trouble with some girls," I looked out to the dance floor and saw Alice and Rose but couldn't see Bella. "Emmett, where is Bella?"

His face turned to the dance floor then back to me, "I don't know man, she was right there."

"Shit," I threw the water down on the table then made my way to the dance floor. There were people every where, "Alice where is Bella?" I decided it would be best to ask the girls first.

Alice looked around her then to Rose, "I don't know."

I spun around in a circle but I couldn't see her anywhere. Just then the guys caught up to me. "Emmett go that way, Jasper that way, you girls go to the table and wait for us."

At that moment I didn't care about being rude to the people around me, I shoved them away from me searching for Bella. It felt like I had been looking forever and still there was no sign of her. I looked across the floor and saw that Emmett and Jasper still hadn't found her either. Just then out of the corner of my eye I saw something orange. I ran towards the orange as fast as I could, pushing people out of my way. Finally I reached an opening and saw her.

"Bella," I whispered. Some bastard had her pushed up against the wall with his hands all over her. I had never felt so much anger in my whole life. "Bella," I yelled louder. The guy didn't even flinch but Bella's eyes shifted to my face. There were tears rolling down her face and she looked terrified. Before I had time to think I grabbed the guy and pulled him off of Bella with all of my might. I turned around and punched him in the face, my hand stung but I didn't care. The guy stood up and whipped blood from his nose. "Stay the hell away from her," I pushed him up against the wall and slammed his head against it. "If I see you anywhere near her again I hurt you so bad you'll wish you were dead," I whispered in her ear.

"Edward," Bella put her hand on my back, "let's go home please."

I shoved the guy away from us and turned back to beauty next to me. "Okay," I wrapped my arm around her and brought her outside with me. I got Bella to the car and opened the front door for her. As I started to car I quickly called Emmett.

"Em, I found Bella I'm taking her home right now."

"Is she okay man," I could tell he was worried.

"I hope so," I looked over at Bella. She was looking down at her hands with tears still falling down her face.

"I'll get the others back safe don't worry about it."

I shut the phone and looked at Bella. The car ride was silent to her apartment and I wanted to know what she was thinking. More then that I wanted to go back to the club and find that guy; I had never wanted to hurt someone so badly in my life. But I knew right now I had to stay with Bella.

"Don't leave me," she finally said once I parked the car in front of the apartment.

"I wasn't planning on it," I ran out of the car to her door and helped her out. "I will stay with you as long as you want Bella." I pulled her to my side and held on to her tightly.

She pushed her body against mine as we walked into the apartment building, "Thanks Edward."
