A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! I ONLY OWN THIS PLOT! I'm co-writing this story with Elena Rain! I hope you enjoy it:

Charlie Swan brought his daughter into his bedroom and laid her down.

"All right Bella, we're alone, just you and me. Please just tell me the truth. Who attacked you?"

"Ok, I'll tell you the honest truth. Jacob was the one who attacked me. Not Edward. Dr. Cullen and the others are the ones who saved my life."

Charlie sighed. "I gave you a chance Bella. I'm sorry but you're grounded."

"WHAT!"

"For lying to me and defending that blood thirsty abuser."

"Dad, Edward isn't an abuser."

"Oh so he's blood thirsty then?"

"No! He is the kindest, sweetest, most gentle man, I've ever met."

"Bella left you alone in the middle of the woods. Anything could have happen to you."

"But it didn't. Plus this is the same guy who saved me from the car crash my first year here."

"He's also the same man who left you in the middle of woods."

"Dad I know he left me! I was there. I've forgiven him for it."

"Yeah, well I haven't. Bella you were almost catatonic. You woke up every night screaming bloody murder. I will never forgive him for hurting you like that. If you hurt you once he will hurt you again. From this moment forward you forbidden to ever see Edward again."

"But dad…"

"…And to make that it happens I will assign Jacob as your body guard."

"DAD NO! PLEASE ANYONE BUT JACOB!"

""I've made up my mind. Until further notice you are not be within ten inches of that blood thirsty vampire…."

Bella's eyes went wide. How did he find out?

Over at the Cullen house Carlisle was pacing around his office.

"Carlisle please stop pacing. Bella will be fine." Esme said.

"How do we know for sure? Jacob could have followed them back home and Alice won't see anything because of it."

"Carlisle, Charlie is doing what he feels is best for his daughter. You can't blame him. What if it was one of our who had been attacked."

"I'd believe them when they said who it was I'd believe my child over anyone else."

"Charlie might too. You never know Carlisle."

"I doubt he will Esme. I will not put you through that pain again."

"What pain?"

"Of losing another child."

"What?"

"If Charlie isn't careful Jacob might actually kill Bella and we'd lose another child. Can you handle that?"

"Alice will see...won-won't she?" Esme didn't even think about that until now. She would never forget the son she had lost before her chance. It was the most painful thing in the world. Even worse than the pain she felt when she was changed.

"If Jacob is near Bella, Alice won't be able to see anything. Esme, I love Bella, she may be human but she is as much of a Cullen as any of us. I will never forgive myself if Jacob hurts her."

"We…we could just…just change her…?"

"Not if it's too late. Jacob could wait just because he knows we can't see past him. Once her heart stops beating it will be too late. If he waits for her heart to stop we could lose Bella for good."

In Alice's bedroom she was staring blankly ahead watching Charlie's every move. If he choice to have his coffee black she knew about it. Suddenly she gasped. Edward came rushing in.

"What?"

"Charlie is punishing Bella because he believes she is lying to him. Jacob is going to her body guard and Charlie had forbidden her from seeing you. She's really upset."

Without another word Edward was gone.

Back over at the swan house. Bella had finally gotten over her shock and spoke.

"Dad, Edward is not a vampire. Where would you get an idea?"

"It's just an expression Bella."

"Right, right I knew that."

"I'm calling Jacob. Stay in this bed and do not get up."

Charlie left the room.

Bella turned and buried her face in her pillow. She couldn't stop the tears the poured down her cheek. She felt a cold strong arm wrap around her and she jumped instantly in defense.

"Shhh it's all right love I'm here."

Bella turned and buried her face in Edward's chest clinging to him.

"I-I-I ca-can't es-escape hi-him."

"Bella listen to me," Edward said. He gently took her face from his chest and made her look at him. "Jacob will never hurt you again. Alice is watching Charlie's every move. If he even thinks about leaving you with Jacob we will know."

"You can't see past Jacob."

"Yeah, but nothing is blocking us from Charlie. We will not let him hurt you all right. I'll be so fast Jacob won't even have time to climb the stairs."

"I'm forbidden from seeing you."

Edward laughed and said "Yeah….. and? Since when has that stopped us? I can be here and gone in the blink of an eyes. Charlie will have no idea I'm here and at school we have no choice but to see each other. We tried being apart once. It almost killed us both. I'm not risking it again."

"Promise?"

"Yes and a vampire never breaks their promise."

"I love you."

"I love you too. Now close your eyes and get some rest. I'll be here all night."

"I'll only relive Jacob's attack if I got to sleep."

"Sleep, love I'll be here to protect you."

He softly started to hum her lullaby to her. Bella was out like a light in now time. Edward kissed her head. "You're safe Love, Just get some rest."

The next morning Bella woke up to find Edward gone. All that was left was a note.

Don't panic I had to go home before Charlie found out I was there.

I love you. I'll see you at school

Edward.

Bella smiled and did her best to get ready for the day ahead of her. She made her way downstairs and had some breakfast with her father. Then there was a knock at the door.

"Who is that?" Bella asked.

"Jacob. He is taking you to school and picking you up from school. He will make sure the Cullen's don't hurt you."

"But Dad I…"

"No buts Bella. This is the way it has to be."

"Dad, please listen to me. Edward isn't the one who hurt me."

"I can't believe that Bella I'm sorry."

"You're trusting Jacob over your own daughter?"

"You are too blinded by love to see the truth in who Edward really is."

"Dad…"

"No Bella. That's enough. This conversation is over. Now go outside Jacob is waiting for you."

Bella sighed and walked outside. She stopped at the car and opened the door.

"Hey Beautiful, hop on in." Jacob said with a smirk.

Bella noticed he wasn't wearing a shirt.

"You're really going to school without a shirt?"

"I have one in the back, but changing into the wolf is a lot easier with less clothing."

Bella took a step back.

"You don't plan on changing….do you?"

"As long as you don't make me mad. Now come in before you're late for school."

Bella climbed into the car and put on her seatbelt. She had never felt unsafe being inside a car…until now.

A/N what will happen next? Will Bella get to school safely or will something happen? Can Edward protect her? Leave me your thoughts in a review.
