VOTE FOR PEDRO-

LAST ON SILENCE-

When we got to our room, I didn't even pause to admire it, instead laying down and closing my eyes. I heard Edward bustling about. I heard plastic make noise and water running. I huffed against my pillow when he gulped loudly.

"What are you doing?" I said in a monotone with my eyes closed.

He hesitated, "Oh… I'm just… watching TV?"

My eyebrows pinched together, "The TV isn't on, weirdo."

"Shit…well I was just about to…" I heard the TV go on.

"And back to you Monty."

I laughed, sitting up to look at the TV, "You're watching the-"

I was cut off by a voice on the screen.

"I-I just… need her back, you can't understand the pain… unless you're going through something as horrible as this… if you see her, she looks like that and her name is Isabella Swan. She responds to Bella… the town and I are pretty sure she was kidnapped by a guy named Edward Cullen. I just want her back…"

CURRENTLY ON SILENCE-

E.P.O.V.

That low life fucker.

I growled at the TV, I think I was shaking. I felt my hands clenching at my sides. I wasn't mad about what he said about me, but the fact that he would use his own daughter to-

My thoughts were cut off when Bella started crying.

I shut off the TV when she did. I shook my head, pushing my own thoughts aside and going to her, wrapping my arms around her petite… nice… warm- stop, Edward, body, and rocking her back and forth.

She cried into my shoulder, saying 'why' over and over again. She rolled her head against my shoulder, almost as if shaking it.

Eventually her cries died down and she looked up at me with a quivering lip. She looked just… so damn vulnerable. I was at a loss.

"I-I'm sorry… I just… can't believe he did that…" Her voice broke a couple of times and I pulled her closer to me, ignoring the way it made me feel.

I sighed, "Bella, did you expect anything different? He's a cop, it would make people suspicious if he didn't do something this drastic than it would be wrong… and it isn't a very far off assumption… I took his drugged up daughter in my car and drove for hours and hours."

And it was true. We should've expected this sooner, especially from someone like Charlie.

She frowned, "But you didn't… I willingly came."

Okay Edward… don't listen to how that sounded…

I sighed again, "We know that, Bella. But we both disappeared at the same time. Let's face it, it's an easy conclusion to jump to."

She looked down and bit her lip… her- stop. I raised her chin up, "Hey, don't think about it, tomorrow, we'll go ahead and do the ten hours, and we'll be at Carlisle 's in no time." I looked into her eyes, "You're safe with me. Don't forget that."

She let out a shaky breath, not realizing she hadn't let out the one she sucked in about a minute ago.

I patted her hair, stepping away from her. I checked my watch. 6:30.

"You want to go grab some dinner?" I asked. She nodded.

BASBASBASBAS

We ended up eating at a Boppin' Bo's, a 50's joint. It ended up being a wrong decision though because watching Bella eat an overly large… juicy burger, and her eyes rolling back a little bit… making tiny mm sounds.

I had tried to avert my eyes from her, but I couldn't.

It was like the woman had never eaten a fucking burger before.

I drew in a sharp breath, hastily excusing myself to the car.

I ran to the front seat, sucking in more air.

God this is hell.

No one has any right to make eating a hamburger so damn sensual.

I grabbed my bottle of antiandrogen, opening the cap.

"Shit!" I exclaimed.

Only one left.

And if I needed to take two a day… and I had one for tonight… I'd miss two doses before I got to Alice .

Quickly, I popped the pull, knowing that the results wouldn't be immediate but I had to have some… it'd probably come in about an hour, of course, when Bella would most likely be finished with her burger.

If I stopped for the next one day… I wouldn't be able to get back on it with consistent results for about 15 days…

So, for the next 16 or something days, I'd be around Bella with an unhealthy amount of sexual libido.

I still remembered the day I'd found out…

I was 14. But I won't get into that right now.

I sighed, running a hand through my hair, throwing the useless fucking bottle on the ground and stomping back inside, hard on still in place.

When Bella was finished with her obviously delicious burger, I went up to pay at the front.

The waiter paused after looking at me suspiciously for a while, finally narrowing his eyes.

"Hey… aren't you… um… that Edward Cullen kid from the news?" He spoke hesitantly, and then looked over at where Bella was sitting, eyes wide.

Dropping just enough cash on the counter, I sped off, pulling Bella hastily along with me. I heard people screaming after us and saw people on their cell phones as we sped off.

Bella's eyes were wide, "I…"

I wasn't able to say much more.

"I guess we'll have to be more careful now, huh?" I asked her and she nodded quickly.

She huffed, "This will be on the news in no time, is there a way we can do the ten hours tonight? Like I'd drive one hour… and then you would, and then me again?"

I sighed, thinking it over, "I guess we could, but the roads we're taking are kind of unknown, and they might be hard to get through."

She groaned, folding her hands in her lap. "So tomorrow? Edward, you realize that by tomorrow the whole state of Texas … and Washington too… will know about this?"

I frowned, not saying anything. Of course, she was right, we'd be pretty damn well known in both the north and the south.

When we got to the hotel we had our heads down as we walked into our room.

We were going to stay the night. I did want to get to my step parents house as soon as fucking possible though because of those pills.

Damn I need those pills.

We got back to the hotel and when Bella went to change in the bathroom, I went out on the balcony, hoping the cold air would calm my throbbing hard on.

I took several deep breaths, and finally, with thoughts of Tyler Crowley, it calmed.

I'd need another pill in the morning, but I wouldn't have one. I'd also need one tomorrow night.

Of course, I'd have access to one tomorrow night, but it'd take about 15 days for my body to adjust back to them.

Yeah, that's 16 and a half days of hard on's.

I breathed in a laboured breath.

"Edward?" I heard Bella from behind me.

Damn, it's back. Why the hell does she say my name like that?

"Yeah?" I asked, turning around to see her in a tank top and boxer shorts.

I hastily turned back around, closing my eyes.

"Um… I was just going to say that you might want to come back inside in case… well, somebody sees you and…" She trailed off.

The darker part of my mind rejoiced, ha, in a hotel room? With her? Hell yes.

I pushed it back, giving her a small smile and following her back inside.

"So, I hope you don't mind, but I picked up your phone again when Alice called." She bit her lip, worried. Almost as if she was worried I'd be mad.

"No, it's fine." I quickly reassured. "What did she say?"

She breathed out a sigh of relief. "Well, she said they saw the news… and that they would expect us tomorrow. Um… I also talked to your stepmom, Esme, I believe?"

My eyes widened at this. Ugh. Esme probably hounded her with questions.

Bella smiled, "She's really nice."

My eyes narrowed now. Not that I didn't agree, Esme was amazing, but she probably interrogated Bella towards insanity.

She talked about Esme, things I already knew, and my eyes drifted to her cheek, where a scar was situated. There was still the bruising from the stitches.

Suddenly, I got up and she stopped talking, I ran my thumb along the length of her injured cheek and kissed it lightly before changing into sweats and going to bed.

"So ten hours today? Wow… that's going to be long… how are you going to put up with me?" Bella joked and I snorted.

"Hmm…" I said, humouring her, "I don't know… I might drop you off somewhere early." I winked at her and she smiled.

It was kind of odd… how our attitudes had changed so dramatically and soon. After everything had spilled out that day when we had that ice cream, everything had become so easy… Bella was so easy to become friends with.

I was trying to calm my nerves… I hadn't taken my pill today and I was already starting to feel it.

An hour into the drive Bella had insisted we play this game.

"Come on! It'll be fun!" She smirked, as if finding amusement in my obvious discomfort.

Suddenly, this game was making me need those pills more.

I cleared my throat, my hands tightening on the steering wheel.

"You think screaming out the word 'penis' over and over again, louder and louder, in a busy intersection is going to be fun?" I asked incredulously and she nodded vigorously.

"Yeah, I did it with my cousin once and it was fun…" She trailed off.

"Your view of 'fun' is very skewed," I shifted in my seat. It was my turn to smirk, "But you start."

I challenged her, she didn't have the balls to scream out penis… and I don't think I had the balls to take it. Literally, I don't think my balls could take it.

She smiled widely, "Penis!" She screamed, and I swear other cars heard.

I blinked, shifting in my seat again. She actually did it. I was intensely surprised… Bella always did that… surprise me.

She waited, "It's your turn now!" She said.

I blinked again, swallowing the lump in my throat.

"Penis!" I finally screamed out, louder than she did, smirking when I was done.

She laughed loudly, throwing her head back and screaming again. We went back and forth for a while.

Finally, we stopped after neither one of us could scream anymore, laughing breathlessly.

"And what did we accomplish by that, Bella?" I asked while laughing.

She looked at me as if the answer was obvious.

"Everything…" She said and I rolled my eyes.

"You're one weird chick, Swan." I said and winked at her.

She wrinkled her little nose.

"Yeah, we're stopping in about a half hour for some lunch and-" I was cut off by Alice 's loud voice.

"Nonsense! Come home first, Edward… we all miss you, and I want to meet this Bella girl!" She said excitedly.

I groaned. We were about an hour away from the house and honestly, it was only 30 minutes extra we'd have to wait before getting there, but I was trying to clear my mind a bit… stall…

I almost didn't want Bella to meet Alice . I was so worried that she would end up telling Bella that I was… um… I guess the correct turn was hypersexual, but it made me feel like a pervert to say, or even think it.

And then Bella would know that she'd been sleeping in the same bed as someone who had the urge to fuck her almost every moment she was around.

That'd be a fun conversation to have…

I sighed, " Alice … if you tell her anything I swear…" I almost heard her roll her eyes.

"I'm not stupid, Edward… I'll leave that to you…" I snorted and Bella looked curiously over at me.

"In fact, what restaurant were you planning on going to?" She asked.

"Um… probably Subway." I said.

"The one on Hazel Dell?" She asked.

"Yeah but-"

The line went dead.

BASBASBASBAS

B.P.O.V.

"Ah! Who the hell are you?!" I screamed down at the tiny little girl who was bouncing in my arms. I tried to push her off.

I blinked. One second, I was walking into a Subway with a peeved Edward and the next, I'm being tackled by a little girl.

" Alice !" I heard Edward chastise the little girl.

Oh! This was Alice …

Her eyes widened. "Oh!" She giggled, "I apologize, Bella! I'm Alice ."

She held out her hand for a cordial shake but I refused, taking her in for another hug. "Hi." I said, finally.

Edward chuckled, hugging her next.

After a while, she sniffled in his arms, almost as if she were crying. He looked down at her, confused.

She was crying…

Edward kissed her forehead. "Ally… what's wrong…"

He asked her and she shook her head, her only move hugging him tighter.

"I… I just haven't seen you for a while… and I miss you, Edward… I know you're my step brother but… I love you like a real brother." She said, hugging him again.

He smiled, rubbing her arm, "Well let's get you a sandwich then." He said, evading the subject of his sister crying.

How odd… he didn't seem too touchy when I cried, but maybe he was and I was just incredibly unperceptive.

Edward pulled her under one of his arms, and me under the other, and I bit my lip as I tried to push away the tingles his arm brought as his fingers brushed my arm with every stride.

After ordering, Edward steered us toward a table and we began eating.

"So how are Esme and Carlisle ?" Edward asked while unwrapping his sandwich.

Alice smiled, "They're really happy you went to them. Carlisle is the only one that would believe you… I saw that convincing news article." She glanced at my cheek.

Then she looked up amused at Edward. "You stitched her up?" She asked.

Edward flushed, "How would you know?" He asked quietly, hiding his mouth behind his sandwich.

She snorted, "Uh, Edward, sorry to burst your bubble here, but it has you all over it... it's totally something you would do…"

I coughed a little, "So… I've been thinking…"

Edward and Alice listened intently, "And… I wanted to know what the game plan was for after… I mean, I don't have to go back to-"

"No." Alice and Edward said with finality.

After a while of silence I talked again quietly. "Guys… I don't think you understand, I literally have nowhere else to go besides with Charlie."

Edward looked at me, incredulous and what about to say something when he was cut off by Alice .

Alice's eyes lit up. "Aw… Bella you can stay with us!"

I blushed. "I wouldn't want to impose any more than I already am…"

Edward hugged me again, "Bella. Just do what she says. It's easier."

Alice nodded with a smile on her face. I laughed.

BASBASBASBAS

"Oh my gosh!" A sweet voice filled the room, "Oh Edward! She's just as beautiful as you said she was!"

I blushed under Esme's intense evaluation of me. I looked to Edward. Did he really tell her I was beautiful?

He shrugged, seeming a bit flustered himself.

"It's nice to meet you, Bella." Carlisle said, shaking my hand.

Honestly, it wasn't fair, every single member of this family was gorgeous… and Edward was adopted.

Esme just stared at me and Edward with watery eyes.

"Oh! How rude of me, would anyone like anything to drink?" She asked kindly.

I nodded, "A water, maybe? If that's alright?" I asked.

"Nonsense! It's fine, Edward, Alice? Would you like anything?"

They nodded, "Sweet tea." They said simultaneously.

Carlisle's eyes were locked on my cheek. He smiled at Edward.

"Did you stitch her up, yourself, son?" He asked.

Edward smiled slightly, nodding.

Carlisle smiled brightly at him.

"Nice work." He said and Edward nodded, a bit bashful looking.

Carlisle cleared his throat.

"So, we all know why you guys are here."

Sorry I took so long! I was being lazy! I really need to be reminded most of the time…

Pix- So yes, this chapter would normally be out sooner but Jess and I haven't been talking for some reason, and I haven't been able to remind her! To all the people that read my stories as well I got twitter too! Follow me! Link on my profile!

(and sorry guys… that reason is I haven't been getting up at 4 in the morning this week because I've had long nights and she lives in Australia… not that it's an excuse.)

Chapter question- SHOULD I ENCORPORATE JACOB IN THIS STORY AS A DOG? Like, seriously, some sort of dog.
