The old lady looked up and smiled.

"I'm sorry. This solitaire fame is really distracting me!" She laughed a bit and Edward and I smiled.

"So, what can I help you young people with today?" She questioned. I looked up at Edward hoping that he would help. I did not know what to say.

"We were hoping to talk to an officer." Edward said, you could tell that he was trying to get on her good side by flirting.

"Well, um, what about?"

"We were hoping to tell that to the officer." He tried again, but it didn't work too well. This lady didn't seem to care.

"Son, if you are trying to flirt and get on my good side, it is not going to work. O have been married 67 years. After that many years you forget there is anyone else. Now, what do you need?" I had to smile. That was the one and only tome I had ever seem Edward fail. When I looked over at Edward he was smiling too though. I believe he was just as impressed as I.

"We were hoping to report a abuse charge." Edward said, almost whispering. The lady looked to me and I looked down.

"Oh, a friend of yours I am guessing. You will need to talk to Agent Black. His name is Jacob and he had his own office in the back. It's the last one to the left." She pointed, smiled, and we walked. The door was closed so Edward knocked on the door.

We heard a "come in" and Edward opened the door. He grabbed my hand and squeezed before going in. I kept my head downcast. I heard the door close then a voice, I am guessing it was the voice of Agent Black.

"What do you want Edward?" I didn't know why he knew Edward's name but,

I decided to ignore it. Edward lead me to a chair and I sat down in it. He then sat beside me.

"Not me. Her." Edward said. There was a moment of silence where I thought that I was suppose to talk. I didn't. What was I going to say?

"Edward?" the agent wanted him to tell. Edward leaned to me and whispered in my ear.

"You can do this Bella."

I looked up at Jacob. He was huge. Almost as big as Emmett. He was very tan and had dark brown, almost black, hair. He also had a nice smile lighting up his face. He was attractive just not as much as Edward.

"Um- Um…Edward?" I wanted him to do it for me. It was one thing to think it and another to admit it,

"You have to do it yourself, love." The love at the end made my heart fly, but I'm sure he meant it differently.

I looked down and started to fidget with my hands.

"My- My-" I could not do it. I started to cry. I was so frustrated. Edward pulled me into his lap and I shielded my face against his chest.

"Just tell me who it is. We can start there."

"Ch-Charlie Swan." I heard a huge intake of breath. It was not from me and it was not from Edward.

"The chief?" I had completely forgotten that Charlie was the police chief. I felt so stupid. I stiffened and Edward started to rub circles on my back.

"Your Bella?" I shook my head against Edward's chest.

"I always knew he had anger issues, but I did not ever expect this. Hm, well, what ways had he hurt you? Wait, here, check the boxes."

I could feel Edward lean forward and when he leaned back, I sat up.

He had a sheet of printed paper in his hand. It had a list with boxes next to the words. He handed it to me and pen and I checked the appropriate boxes. I handed it to Edward and he leaned forward once more to hand it back. I laid back against his chest. After a few minutes the agent spoke.

"Okay, the earliest we can get her out is tomorrow. Bella, you will have to stay home and act as normal as possible. Do you have somewhere to stay after tonight?" I was about to answer with a no, but Edward spoke first.

"She can stay with me." I relaxed. Staying with Edward would be wonderful!

"Good. I know this is bad, but it has to happen." Edward stiffened then growled.

"Don't argue. Usually this takes weeks. Got that Eddie?"

"Why don't you watch your thoughts, stupid mutt."

"Watch it leech." I didn't understand the insults, but I knew it was time to so so I stood up. Edward followed. He grabbed my hand once more and lead me out to the car. He opened and closed the door after I was in. He got in himself then started to drive.

I could tell he was mad when he started to go faster and faster.

"I'm sorry Edward."

"What are you sorry for?"

"Your mad aren't you?" The anger was replaced by sadness in a matter of seconds.

"Not at you. At Jacob."

"Why?"

"He was thinking some things I did not like."

"About me?"

"Yes."

"What was it?"

"I will tell you another time."

"Why not now?" I know I was pushing it, but I wanted to know.

"Later."

"Now." I was going to know. It was my business. It was about me.

"No."

"Yes."

"Bella!" He yelled. "I am not going to tell you!"

"Why not?!"

"Cause!"

"Why?! Why the hell not?!"

"Because!"

"Just tell me!"

"He was thinking how beautiful you are!"

"Why would that bother you?!"

"Because I was jealous, because I love you!" He took his eyes away from away from the road and looked at me. He seemed just as shocked as me.

All of the sudden he slammed on the breaks, throwing me forward. We were at the Cullen house. He quickly opened his door and ran into the house at vampire speed.

I was mad. How could he run away from me?! Why wouldn't he let me reply?! Why wouldn't he let me say it back?! I got out of his car and slammed the soon. I don't remember how I got there, but suddenly I was right in front of his door. I slammed onto his door, no one answered.

And then it hit me. He thought I didn't love him! I started to laugh. I laughed so hard I feel against his door. When Edward opened it I feel into him.

"I love you too Edward." I stopped laughing and looked up into his smiling face. The he did something I had been waiting for since the day I knew I loved him.

He kissed me.

Doesn't that seem like the perfect ending?
