After making my huge grand entrance into the police station, I was somewhat disappointed that no one was in the main foyer to actually witness it. I had stormed right up to the front doors and violently swung them open in unison whilst demanding "Someone had better tell me what's going on right now or else there will be hell to pay!" But like I said, the main foyer was empty.

Muffled voices could be heard coming from behind a door marked 'No unauthorised access'. Making my way over to the door, I stepped up on my tippy toes and curiously peered through a glass window. There was a long hallway with many rooms down each side. The furthest one down the end was slightly opened, and that was where the voices were coming from. My body shuddered at the thought of poor Edward being interrogated by my father.

No unauthorised access my butt! I thought to myself and I reached out to turn the door knob. Unfortunately it was locked. However, just at that moment, a young looking officer emerged from one of the side rooms holding a bunch of folders. I quickly tapped on the glass window, hoping to catch his attention. He looked up straight away and walked over to unlock the door.

"Can I help you?"

"Yes! Is Chief Swan back there?"

"Why do you ask?"

I rolled my eyes and sighed heavily. "I'm his daughter and I really need to speak to him right away… It's an emergency!" I added for dramatic effect.

"Bella?" I suddenly heard Charlie's voice echo down the hallway. He walked swiftly towards me as the other officer stepped away and went back to his duties. "Why aren't you at school? Is everything alright?"

"No dad, everything is not alright! I want to know why you're questioning Edward Cullen!"

Charlie seemed utterly confused as he knitted his eyebrows together. "I don't understand… Why is that any of your concern?"

"Look dad, Edward is a good person who's going through a rough time at the moment. But he's not the type of guy who would do anything to merit being dragged down to the station. So I'm begging you! Please just tell me what you're holding him for"

"Bella, I -" Charlie paused for a moment as he thought something over in his mind. "I don't like the way you're defending this Cullen boy… Bells, is there something going on that you're not telling me?"

My mouth opened to say something but no words would come out. Even though I was staring at the ground I could feel Charlie's eyes burning down on me, waiting for me to explain. Ok, so how do I say this without letting him know that I've seriously fallen head over heals for Edward and positively love everything about him? … I quietly cleared my throat and regained my composure.

"Edward and I are simply friends, dad. He's in a few of my classes and we have similar interests… Anyway like I said before, I'm just concerned about what you're holding him for... He's a good person"

Charlie eyed me for a minute. I knew he didn't buy it. And I knew he'd definitely sit me down and have a long talk about this later. I mentally cringed at the thought. Charlie doesn't trust any guy as far as I'm concerned.

"He's no good for you sweetheart…" He interrupted my thoughts, causing me to lift my eyes off the ground and scan over his face. What would he know? I scrunched my forehead and stared at him incredulously. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'd better be heading back -"

"Wait! I want to see him!" I blurted out, frantically taking hold of my father's arm to stop him from leaving.

"No Bella. I'm afraid that's not possible right now" He sighed as he pried my hand off his jacket. "I want you to calm down and go back to school ok?"

"But dad -"

"No buts!"

I let out a loud frustrated groan and stomped my foot in anger. Charlie ignored my little temper tantrum and promptly made his way back behind closed doors. How dare he leave without giving me an explanation! I folded my arms across my chest and made my way over to a row of chairs. Fine! If no one was going to tell me what was going on, I'll wait around until they're done interrogating Edward. He'd have to come out soon or later…

I must have been waiting for almost an hour, and let me tell you it was totally driving me crazy. Police officers were coming in and out, fiddling with folders and talking in low voices. My body was slumped forward in the chair as I rested my head in my hands. Suddenly the sound of the main doors disrupted the silence, but I couldn't be bothered to look up. I was waiting for the other door to open.

"Right this way Mr. Black. We'll be ready for you in a moment" A woman's voice broke me out of my thoughts.

Mr. Black…? Jacob Black? My head immediately shot up and when my eyes met with the one face I was hoping to never see again, I almost felt like throwing up. Jacob was casually leaning against the front counter while the woman officer who was accompanying him walked through the back door.

"I was hoping I'd see you again" He purred as he looked me over in a creepy way.

My heart started racing and my stomach knotted until I felt like I couldn't breathe properly. "W-What are you doing here?"

"Haven't you heard? I was the victim in your boyfriend's angry vendetta" He informed me before slightly raising his left arm. It was then that I noticed it was wrapped in a white sling. "It's not broken, just fractured…"

I scoffed out loud. "I should've known that you'd somehow be involved with this. Listen, I don't know what kind of sick game you're playing at but I'll let you know that it's not going to work!"

"You don't even know what happened. So how can you be certain that he is the innocent one?" Jacob was teasing and he knew it would agitate me.

I clenched my fists and felt my face start to boil up with anger. "Because you're a bloody lying -"

"We're ready for you now Mr. Black" The woman officer interrupted.

Jacob winked at me as he walked past and in response; I flipped him the bird just when the officer had turned her back.

Silence surrounded me once again. I couldn't believe what was happening! Before I got the chance to even begin to put the pieces together, the door opened again and this time my eyes brightly lit up.

"Edward!" I shouted out loud as a chubby looking officer led him into the room. When his head lifted up at the sound of his name, I lost all sense of control and accidently fell off the chair.

"Bella…" Edward was by my side in a flash and carefully helped me to my feet. "This is not my fault! You've got to believe when I say that I'm innocent"

"Of course I believe you!" I said strongly as I wrapped my arms tightly around his torso and clung onto the back of his jacket for dear life. "I trust you with my life!"

He sighed in relief and the warmth of his breath sent a tingly sensation throughout my entire body. Then I suddenly remembered about Jacob…

"Edward, Jacob's up to something! He was here a moment ago and -"

The chubby officer rudely decided to ruin our moment by loudly clearing his throat. "Excuse me Mr. Cullen, but you need to sign some papers before you can leave"

I slowly let the fistfuls of Edward's jacket go and watched him walk over to sign the papers. When he was told that he was now free to leave, I rushed over and took hold of his hand. Edward didn't make eye contact with me, but he gave my hand a quick squeeze before the chubby man spoke again.

"Please follow me Mr. Cullen. I've been instructed to escort you back to Forks High School"

"No, there's no need for that. I've got my truck parked outside. I'll drive him back" I said, noticing that the officer didn't seem to care.

"Would you like to take it up with Chief Swan?" He asked, knowing quite well that my father would strongly disagree with my idea. In fact, he probably doesn't even know I'm still hanging around here.

Edward turned to face me and lowered his head to my level. "I'll meet you back at school ok?"

I looked over his shoulder and when I saw that the officer had made his way outside and over to one of the police vehicles, I whispered strongly back to him. "I'm not going back to school! You've got to tell me what the hell is going on Edward! What has Jacob got to do with all of this? He claimed that he was the victim!"

"Ssshhh" Edward hushed me by placing his warm index finger on my lips. "I give you my word that I'll tell you later. But right now, just promise me that you'll drive safely… And I'll see you back at the school's parking lot"

I nodded in defeat and he gave me a quick kiss on the top of my head.

The drive back to school was torture and seemed to drag on forever. My truck had gotten separated from the police vehicle, no thanks to traffic lights, and I tried to go as fast a possible to catch up. By the time I had pulled into the parking lot, I noticed that Edward was waiting for my by his Volvo. He approached my side window and I quickly rolled it down.

"Would you like to come back to my place?" He asked me, knowing quite well that I was dying to have my questions answered.

I stared at his beautiful face as a rare beam of sunlight shone down on him, accentuating the colours in his tousled hair. There was no way in the world this god-like man could do anything wrong… He was perfect. "Absolutely! You've got a lot of explaining to do"

Edward handed me a glass of water, which I eagerly accepted. My mouth was so dry from all the worrying. He took a seat next to me on the couch and exhaled deeply before turning to face me.

"Alright, well I guess I'll start from the beginning… You know how I dropped you home yesterday?"

I nodded, placing the empty glass on the floor so I could pay full attention to what he was saying. Edward ran both of his hands through his hair while he appeared to struggle to find the right words.

"Well, I was making my way home when I suddenly noticed that an old Volkswagen Rabbit seemed to be following me. I thought it may have been a coincidence at first, you know, that maybe they just happened to be going the same way as me. But when the driver started to get a little close for comfort, I managed to get a look at who was behind the wheel…"

"Jacob" I whispered, knowing that I was correct.

Edward's eyebrows knitted together in anger and he dropped his eyes away from my gaze. "He kept indicating for me to pull over… I ignored him of course, assuming that he wanted to start another fight"

I gasped quietly as images of that horrible night flew back into my mind. The sight of Jacob throwing punches at Edward made my stomach churn and my eyes sting. "So what happened next?" I choked out the words, not really looking forward to hearing the answer.

Edward's eyes remained focused on some random spot on the floor. "He continued to follow me, occasionally threatening to bump into the back of me. He didn't though. I mean, if he got one scratch on the back of my baby maybe I would've taken him up on that fight, but I managed to keep my cool. That was until he suddenly swerved into the lane next to me. Lucky for him though, there wasn't any oncoming traffic. I turned my head to glance over at him, and there was this evil look upon his face, like he really wanted to kill me. Anyway, it was at that point that I realised what he was about to do… Run me off the road" Edward paused for a moment and pinched the bridge of his nose.

I was frozen in place, hanging on to his every word. This couldn't have been real! It sounded like something out of a movie…

"Bella, are you alright?" Edward's soft voice brought me out of my thoughts and caused me to look up into his eyes.

"Yeah… This just sounds surreal"

He swallowed and slightly nodded his head in agreement. "It doesn't get any better... Should I continue?"

I scanned over his worried expression, and found myself desperately wanting to hear the rest of it no matter how bad it was. My head gave a quick nod, and he closed his eyes for a few seconds to regather his thoughts.

"Ok. I have to admit that I was kind of panicking at the time. My mind was constantly thinking of you… And – and how I might never see you again. However, I think that it helped a lot. This feeling of determination suddenly boiled inside me, and I knew that this bastard wasn't going to get the better of me. I remember gripping the steering wheel with all my might and when I took another glance in Jacob's direction, everything happened in a split second. He yelled out in rage and spun his car over into my lane. Out of reflex, I slammed my foot as hard as possible on the brake and watched as his car swerved off the road and into a tree… Once the smoke from my tyres had died down, I got out of the car and went to check if he was still alive. When I saw that he was grasping his arm in pain, I decided to call for an ambulance. The operator said that one was actually currently in the area, so they'd be there in no time. Feeling satisfied that assistance would be there shortly, I started up the engine and continued on my way home"

"So you did everything you could to help him after he tried to kill you?" I stared at him directly and shook my head in utter disbelief. "You're amazing… I would've left him there"

Edward lowered his head and closed his eyes once again. "I'm just terribly sorry that I didn't tell you about this earlier. I didn't want to scare you Bella, and I had no idea that he was going to turn the story around and blame it all on me"

"There's nothing to worry about, Edward. This is not your fault and my father will see to it that Jacob gets what he deserves… Prison!"

We were both quiet after that, and I took the opportunity to reach over and gently take one of his hands in my own. His eyes darted over to watch how I entwined my fingers with his. Slowly, I brought both of our hands up to my lips and placed a soft kiss across his knuckles. When my eyes connected with his shining green ones, I noticed a small smile crept onto his lips.

"This is not your fault" I repeated, reaching out to caress the side of his face.

"Bella…" Edward whispered my name so beautifully that is caused my heart to flutter. He ever so slowly leaned in and gazed longingly into my eyes. "I love you" He spoke those three words with so much passion that my entire body melted in pure bliss at the sound of it.

"I love you too, Edward!" I replied with an equal amount of passion.

And with that, I closed the gap and happily kissed him on the lips.

So what do you think? I'm so sorry that I kept you guys waiting all week to find out what was going on. I apologise, but you want me to take the time and write it properly don't you? Lol. Thanks for the awesome reviews!!!
