Eventually Edward caught up to me as I walked down the street to get away from the club before getting a cab. We had walked about a block and a half before someone called out our names causing both of us to turn and look at them. There were three guys running after us and they looked beyond pissed. "You," the biggest man was pointing at me, "you're Ben right?" I gave a short nod but didn't say anything. "Well you better stay the fuck away from my girl. I don't care if you're famous or not I will kick your ass."

I tried to keep my eyes on this guy but out of the corner of my eye I could see Edward staring down the other two guys who were flanking their leader. "Look man I don't know who you are talking about but I have no interest in any of the girls who I met tonight so rest assured that I won't be fucking her." That just angered him more and I could visibly see him start to shake. "Are you saying that she isn't hot enough for you? Well fuck you rock star she is better than any piece of ass you could ever get."

Men make no sense; they get pissed if you think their girl is hot but get even madder if you aren't interested in them. "I didn't say she wasn't attractive just that I am not interested in her." I turned to walk away but I felt him grab something out of my back pocket. "What are you doing with her underwear?" I took a deep breath and cursed myself for not getting rid of them before I left. "Look she gave them to me so if you have a problem with that then you need to talk to her."

I barely saw it coming before his fist hit me right in the jaw. I mustered up all the strength that I had in me to not fall to the ground like a girl but that shit hurt like a bitch. Edward flinched as if he was going to hit the man for me but changed his mind and went back to watching the two lemmings. I wiped at the corner of my mouth where blood was leaking out.

I thought about throwing a punch back but I knew that wouldn't help any. "Edward let's go." We both backed up until we were out of reach and then turned around, which was a huge mistake. I heard the footstep racing after us before I felt the impact of two guys jumping me. Edward growled as the bigger of the two held him to keep him from helping me.

One of the followers was behind me holding me in place and Mr. Can't keep his girl started using me as a punching bag. Every punch was worse than the one before and he was relentless. I had watched Emmett workout and now had such pity for the bag he took his anger out on. The assault lasted for several minutes and he only stopped when I could no longer stand and breathe at the same time.

"Learn some respect bitch." He spit at me as I lay on the sidewalk.

I curled into a fetal position which made it easier for me to breathe but it still hurt. "Ben, you want me to call the cops?" If the cops came then so would an ambulance which means the hospital and I may be able to fool the band but doctors are sure to notice the boobs under my shirt. "No man, just help me get up." He flagged down a taxi before helping me up and sitting me inside. He gave the driver my address, "He isn't going to hork in the back of my car is he?" Edward looked to me for an answer and I just shook my head in the negative.

The ride was quick, probably because he was afraid I was lying about the vomit. I carefully climbed out of the car and grabbed my ribs when they screamed at me in pain. "Shit man, are you sure you're ok?" I fought against the pain and stood up straight and nodded. "I'm good." Edward looked skeptical but he didn't push it.

I opened the door and expected Edward to be gone but he followed me in the house. "You don't need to stay Edward, I swear I am fine." Even I could hear the pain in my own voice and I just wished he would leave so I could crumble and cry like the girl I really am. "Dude you just got your ass kicked and you look ready to fall over at a drop of a hat so I am not leaving you alone. I'll leave when someone comes home." I made my way to the couch and sat down, "Then you will be here for awhile, Paul is staying with Jake, Alice with Jasper, and I never know when Bella is coming home."

He flopped himself down on the recliner across from, "Then I guess I am staying here tonight." It took a while but I eventually stood to get some Tylenol and ice then I got resettled lying back down on the couch.

"Do you even know where Bella is right now?"

I cracked my eyes open to look at Edward, "She's in Vegas, I think." He refused to look me in the eye; instead he kept his gaze down to his lap. "Edward do you mind telling me why you care so much about Bella, I mean you always seem so worried about her. If I didn't know any better I would think you are her brother and not me." Even as he answered he kept his gaze down. "I don't want to piss you off or anything so I really don't think I should answer that question."

I chuckled lightly which finally caught his attention enough to look at me. "What's so funny?"

I slowly sat up and moaned in pain as I did so. "Edward, Bella may be my only true sister but Alice means just as much to me as Bella does, and I think if I can handle knowing that Jasper is fucking her brains out right now then you can answer my question. I mean as long as you didn't pull a douche move and sleep with her and never talked to her then I can't be pissed. And even if you did she is the one who should want to cut your balls off not me."

He shrugged and bobbed his head in agreement. "I really like Bella. She makes me laugh and smile. We always have a good time together but the crazy thing is, and please don't punch me for this, but I can't tell her about it because I only want to be her friend. I mean it has to be that we are just good friends because I feel the exact same about you. I swear you two are more than twins your like male and female clones. Don't get me wrong I don't want to jump your bones but if I did have something more with Bella it would be like being with you… God I sound fucking crazy."

I wasn't sure what to say. Of course as Bella I would love to be with Edward but I couldn't do that and have this big fucking secret like an elephant in the room but I also can't tell him the truth, can I?

"I don't know what to say about that bomb shell. Just don't let me get in the way. If everyone was worried about that then I would be sitting here with Alice and Paul instead of you."

"You're a great guy Ben. I feel like I have always known you and Bella and I could trust you with my life, hell I trust you with the knowledge of Molly which is my life. If you ever need to talk about anything just know that I am here and I know how to keep a secret."

He closed his eyes and laid his head back in the chair. I thought long and hard about what he had just said and before I knew it I had opened my mouth. "Edward?" He looked over at me, "I need to tell you something." He raised his eyebrows silently telling me to continue, "I'm….."

Tell me should Edward find out the secret or make him suffer some more?
