Hey guys, I'm so sorry it has taken me so long to get this out to you. It isn't the longest but I hope you will forgive me for that. Right now I'm studying abroad so not only do I have to study for finals but I have to pack up my room and get ready to go back home. I don't think I'll be able to get another chapter out before I go home so don't count on one until Wednesday. Sorry. Twilight Girl27 gave me a good idea for this chapter, so thanks to her!

Hope you enjoy the chapter.

I do not own Twilight.

EPOV

Having Bella in my arms was the most amazing feeling in the world. Her small body fit against mine perfectly. It felt so natural to rub her back while her head was resting on my chest. My whole body started to get a tingly feeling when she tried to nestle herself closer to me.

I didn't know she had fallen asleep until I heard it. "Edward," she said is so softly that I wasn't even sure she had said anything. "Edward," this time it was louder. I leaned my head to the side to see her but her eyes were still closed and her breathing was still even. "Edward help," her breathing was starting to come out in gasps now. "No Mike," her small fists grabbed onto my shirt.

"Shhhh, Bella I'm right her," I leaned my head down to whisper in her ear while my hand rubbed slow circles on her back.

"Mike stop," a tear feel down her face but she was still asleep. "Edward, why won't you help me?"

"I'm right here," my hand came up to gently wipe the tear off her face. "Bella, I'm right here I'm not going to leave you," I kissed the top of her head.

"Edward," she whispered again and the talking stopped.

I sat there for a long time rubbing her back and then it hit me. Mike. He must have been the guy that hurt her. My body when ridged when I realized she knew that person. That man that put his hands on her tonight had already known her. I pulled Bella closer to my body. I would never let something like that happen to her again. I would protect her for as long as she wanted me around and then I would continue to do it until I couldn't. Nobody would ever hurt the angel next to me as long as I lived.

I stayed there for a while, just to two of us on the couch, I never wanted to move. But I knew that the others would be back soon and I didn't want them waking Bella up. I slowly got up, pulling my arms from around her small body. She whimpered softly once my body was disconnected from her. I felt it too, my body missed her against me. I bent down and picked her up, carrying her bridle style. She was so light so I had no problem bringing her up to the spare room. I thought about bringing her to my room for few minutes but then decided against it, the others might read too much into that. Gently I laid Bella down on the bed then got a blanket for her. Once I made sure she was warm I turned around to leave the room.

"Edward," it was just a whisper but I still heard it.

I turned around automatically, Bella's eyes were still closed. The moonlight hit her face and even from where I was standing and I could see a tear in her eye. I couldn't leave her even if I wanted to in that moment. I could never leave her when she was in pain. I shut the door then walked back to the bed. I got into it right next to her but leaving enough space between the two of us incase she woke up. I didn't want her to think I would take advantage of her. Bella's hand started to wonder the bed looking for something, once it found my hand her whole body relaxed.

"That's right Bells," it was the first time I used that name but I liked it, "I'm right here with you. I'm not going anywhere. You can sleep now." I gave her a small kiss on her forehead.

Soon she was peacefully sleeping next to me. I watched her for a long time, the way her chest would rise and fall with every breath. Her face was truly stunning in the moonlight, all the worry was gone and there was even a little smile pulling on her lips. I wanted to kiss those lips so badly. It was as if they were calling me, bagging me to kiss them but I couldn't do that. No matter how much I wanted to kiss Bella I would wait until she was awake and had a clear head. I would never take advantage of her like that. But I still had to make more contact with her, she was still holding my hand but I want to touch her face. I raised my free hand and brought it to her cheek. Ever so gently I brushed my fingers up and down her cheek. My hand started to tingle and the small smile on Bella's face grew which cased me to smile as well. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to pull my hand away from her face but after a little while I did.

Bella snuggled her body closer to mine until her body was nestled right against mine. It wasn't long after that sleep over took me. I tried to fight it off; I wanted to watch her sleep for a little longer.

I had the best night sleep that night. I dreamt of the perfect angel in my arms all night. Dreaming of all the things that we could do together. I dreamt of taking Bella all over the world, just her and I traveling together. It wouldn't matter where we were because I could be happy suck in hell as long as I was with Bella. In my dreams she wanted me just as much as I wanted her. We were happy together and I wanted that so badly.

I woke up when I felt the sun on my face. I looked down to see Bella was still asleep in my arms, where she would always belong. My hand automatically came up to stroke her hair causing her to smile softly. She pulled her body closer to mine, her small hand grabbing my shirt. I leaned down and kissed the top of her head. There was nothing I wanted more then to wake up like this every morning. Well I could think of a few better ways to wake up but now was not the time to think of those things or I might get a little too excited. That would have been horrifying if Bella woke up and saw me excited with her in my arms, she would probably think I was some kind of pervert and never talk to me again.

Slowly she started to stir next to me, her arms stretched above her head pulling my shirt she wore up a little. I got a glimpse of her pale, flat stomach which didn't help with my earlier thoughts. Her eyes fluttered open and looked around the room in confusion then up at me. Once her eyes locked with mine a blush spread across her face. After a few moments of silence she finally said something.

"This isn't your room," there was still confusion in her eyes and now I was confused. Did she want to sleep in my room? That thought made me happy. Before I could think too much into it she spoke again. "I just meant that…Well I'm sorry…" it seemed like she couldn't quite find the right worlds.

"You have nothing to be sorry about at all," I gave her a reassuring smile. "Can I get you something to eat?"

"No I'm fine," jus then her stomach started to rumble and we both started to laugh.

"I think your stomach has other ideas," I teased her as I got up from the bed. "Come on I'll make us some breakfast." She got up and followed me downstairs.

Bella sat at the table while I worked to make us omelets. She tired to help a few times but I wanted to show off my cooking skills so I made her sit this one out. Cooking for Bella was fun and nerve-wracking at the same time. I could feel her eyes on me wherever I went, which I loved, but I was nervous that she wouldn't like it. I had never had complaints before about my cooking and I really hoped that Bella would enjoy it. I finished the omelets then took a seat across from her. As much as I wanted to sit next to her to feel the warmth of her body I wanted to be able to see her full face when she took the first bite even more. I wasn't let down, as soon as the first bit was in her mouth a full smile spread across her lips lighting up her whole face.

"Yummy," she half moaned which caused me to breathe in sharply. I wanted her to make that sound again but for a different reason. "Edward this omelet is amazing."

I gave her a big smile, "I'm glad you like it."

Just then our four friends walked into the kitchen. Alice was next to Jasper wearing one of his shirts and a pair of his shorts. Rose was next to Emmett in one of his tank tops and a pair of his boxers.

"What the hell," I was so confused.
