I have one hour and 15 minutes until have a date with the library...I will do what I can.

Edward PVO:

Bella was not too well. She was improving, but she was in serious pain. She had two cracked ribs, and a broken wrist. The gash in her stomach, thankfully, did not cause too many problems. It was stitched and so were the four other cuts along her body. It would take a while, but she would get better. Slowly.

I waited beside her for as long as I could. Every now and then Alice or Esme would come in and send me home telling me to change so I looked less conspicious. I also acted like I was sleeping. I was only able to talk to Bella once and she though I was going to hurt her so I had to comfort her.

It was not the comforting I wanted to give her. I wanted to hold her in my arms and tell her I would keep her safe for the rest of our lives. I knew that was not possible right now though. She was losing her trust in me and I would have to earn everything back. Hopefully me being there for her will help speed the process.

She woke up around six hours after the last time. I was by her bed in seconds.

"Bella, love, how are you?" It was a stupid question that seemed to fit the situation. I knew she was not good but, it was always nice to ask her.

"I'm fine." I could not help, but smile. With all that she had been through she could still manage to say that she was alright. Bella never stopped suprising me.

"I know you are lying, there is no way you are alright." I looked away from her and out the window.

"I'm scared Edward." This drew my attention back to her she had tears forming in her eyes, falling slowly. I wiped it away and left my hand on her cheek. I culd tell on her face that she was being completely truthful. And it hurt my heart.

"I promise to keep you safe." I said and I meant it. I would do what ever it takes.

"Edward he is going to get me." I knew who she was talking about, but I did not know if she knew I knew.

"Who Bella?" She closed her eyes, looked away from me and whispered.

"My father." I took in a deep breath.

"Bella. I can not do anything for you. You will have to do it yourself." I admited. She looked back towards me.

"I can't. I only have a little bit longer to get through it. I don't want Charlie it be hurt." It made me mad that she could care so much for someone who did so little for her.

"Bella, he only hurts you. Please do it. You go home in three days and i you do nothing it is just going to get worse." I was willing to beg her.

"No." said Bella.

"How about this. I will give you one week after you go home. If he so much as lays one hand on you, I am going to do something about it. You can come live with me or you can tell the police. As long as you are safe."

"Ok." She agreed.

I started to hum a lullaby that I had been composing for her and she drifted off to sleep.

!#$&()

Three days later Bella was much better. She was even smiling. It surprised me how strong she could be. I drove her home after Carlisle released her. It was early in the morning and Charlie was not home so I stayed with her.

We watched movies and talked. Alice promised to call me when Charlie was on her way home and when I got a call around seven saying that he would be home in forty minutes I was forced to tell Bella bye.

"Bella, that was Alice. I am going to have to go. Charlie will be home in forty minutes." I heard her take in a deep breath.

"Okay. I am going to take a shower then."

"Alright love, I will see you later." I cursed myself for saying love. She was not ready for that. I pulled her into my arms, careful not to hurt her. When I held her close to me, she started to cry.

"Come back Edward. Please. Come back." I felt terriable for having to leave. And when I thought of something else I could do I immediately took up the oppurtunity.

"I have an idea, love, how about I take my car into the woods and I will come back."

"Okay." She let go of me and I ran to put my car in the woods, calling Alice and telling her what I was doing. I could hear her smile through the phone. She knew that I was falling more and more in love with Bella everyday. I was so in love that I was becoming her puppy dog.

I quickly ran back to Bella to find her in her room. She was sitting in the middle of the floor crying.

"Bella, baby, what's wrong." I said bending down next to her.

"I can't do it." I thought maybe she was talking about her father, but her sentence did not make sense.

"What? Do what?"

"I need help taking a shower." I was shocked at first. I would have called Alice, Rose or Esme, but my whole family was out hunting. Suddenly my phone started to vibrate.

"Hold on Bellla." I flipped open the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hello Edward. This is Esme. Alice told me what was happening and you need to help Bella."

"But-"

"It will be fine Edward. Just help her." I knew better than to argue with my mother so after saying bye I hung up with her.

"Come on Bella. I will help you." I could sense that she was blushing.

"No Edward." She protested.

"Bella, it will be okay just let me help you." She stood up, looking down and followed me intot he bathroom.

Bella PVO:

I was devestated when I could not undress myself. And telling Edward just made it worse. Now her was going to see how hurt I really was. We walked into the bathroom and Edward turned to me.

"Bella look at me." I was too embrassed to look at him.

"Bella, I promise you that it will be fine. I promise." I looked up at him and I could tel that all he wanted to do was help me.

"Okay."

"Now, what do you need me to do?" I blushed again.

"Just help me take off my shirt and unclasp my bra. I can do the rest." I turned to where my back was to him and he slowly lifted my shirt over my head. It hurt my ribs to lift my arms up high, but it hurt less when Edward did it, than when I did it myself. He set the shirt on the counter, but did not undo my bra.

"Bella, why do you let him do this?" I could feel his fingers running over my many bruises.

"Please don't Edward." I did not want to talk about this.

"Okay, but we will later." He inclapsed my bra and I forgot to hold it to me. It almost fell off, but Edward caught it with his vampire speed. I blushed again.

"Anything else?" Edward asked.

"No. I got it. I just could not reach behind me." Edward left and I took a bath. When I got out I realized that I did not have my clothes and was more than thankful to see them on the counter when I steped out of the shower. Edward must have brought them in.

I got dressed then walked towards my room only to find Charlie right outside of the door.

"Where have you been?" he asked in a threatening tone.

"The hospital." I said.

"That boy take you there?" I nodded my head. He slapped me across my face.

"I told you not to talk to him. I told you never to go to the hospital. Can you not hear? Can you not listen?"

"I'm sorry." I said. He slapped me harder.

"I'm sure you are. Get out of my sight."I walked quickly to my room and into Edward's arms. I let him pick me up an carry me to my bed.

"Take me away Edward." I said. He picked me up and jumped out of the window. I did not even notice that he was running until I opened my eyes. I closed them instanly and opened them back up when he set me in his car.

Ten minutes later he carried me up to his room and set me in his bed. I pulled him down next to me and snuggled into his chest. Falling asleep while he hummed to me.
