By the time Friday rolled around I was exhausted. I had barely gotten any sleep due to my reoccurring nightmare. Well, it wasn't really a nightmare, it was more like a dream but it was still haunting and left me with chills when I woke up. I spent hours trying to figure it out. Why was Mya forbidden to play the piano? Why did I catch the Captain playing it at 2 o'clock in the morning? Why was his song so haunting and melancholy? Needless to say my lack of sleep was catching up to me. As soon as I got home from work on Friday I crashed on my couch and slept a dreamless sleep until my phone started ringing.

"Hello?" I answered sleepily

"WHERE ARE YOU?" shouted Rosalie, I could hear the bass from the music in the background "You were supposed to me here 20 minutes ago"

"Shit Rose I'm sorry. I fell asleep on my couch but I'll be over there as soon as I can. Ecplipse right?" I asked

"Yea. Give them my name at the door and they'll let you in."

"Thanks Rose I owe you one"

"Damn right you do"

The moment I got off the phone I sprinted to my bathroom and took the quickest shower of my life while still making sure I had "taken care" of everything. You never know right? I washed my hair, shaved my legs and other body parts and was out before Alice could say shopping spree. I put my robe on and wrapped my hair in towel and went back in my room to find something to wear. I ended up picking out a pair of tight, navy skinny jeans, a white scoop neck top that revealed a little more cleavage than I was comfortable with but at this point I didn't have time to be picky. I got dressed, and ran back into the bathroom to do my hair and make-up. I blow-dried my hair straight, then went over it with a flat iron and did a gray smoky look on my eyes. I put on red lipstick, grabbed my red heels and purse and was out the door.

When I got to the club I realized I forgot my coat at home and it was cold as fuck outside. I mean seriously, if I had balls they would be shriveled peanuts by now. I gave the guy at the door Rosalie's name and after staring at my chest for a little too long he let me in. Eclipse was packed. Like sardines in a can packed. I made my way over to the bar and shot Rosalie a text telling her that I was here and asking where she and everybody else was. When my grey goose and tonic finally arrived Rosalie had texted me back saying that she was at one of the booths on the right side of the club. How I managed to get over there without spilling my drink and getting squashed was a miracle. Whoever decided to have the tables and bar on opposite ends of the club needs to be shot.

"Bellllllllllaaaaaaaa! You look hot!" Alice then proceeded to basically tackle me with her drunken hug.

"Jasper how much has she had to drink?"

"Not much, but you know her, she's a lightweight. A few beers and she's gone"

"Haha this is very true" I said as I gave him a hug. I loved Jasper. He was such a sweetheart and was perfect for Alice. They met in college and got married right after graduation. Jasper was originally from Texas but he lost a lot of his accent throughout college and the years after. He was probably around 6ft tall with a nice build and light blue eyes. You would never think that he and Alice would be an attractive couple but they somehow match.

"Where's Rose? She called me and yelled at me for not being here on time and the girl is nowhere to be found"

"She's with that guy she wanted us to meet. He's trying to get his brother laid. Which if you ask me is a very good idea. The guy is kind of high strung" Jasper replied

"What's her guy's name?" I asked

"Uhhh shit. Edmund? Edwin? Emer? I don't remember"

"Haha okay thanks anyway Jazz"

I sat down next to Alice and she started telling me something about a vampire and his human lover and cliff jumping and how he wanted to eat her but not really. I looked at Jasper for help but all he did was shrug his shoulders and give me an "I-don't-know-what-the-fuck-she's-talking-about-so-just-go-with-it" look. I rolled my eyes at him and thankfully I didn't have to listen to her ramblings any longer because Rose and her boy toy and the boy toy's brother showed up.

"Bella you're finally here! This is Emmett and his brother Edward." The moment the Captain's name left her mouth all of the blood in my body when straight to my feet…and other regions of course.

"Bella! It's so good to see you again. Eddie boy told me about your guys' little tiff but I think the real problem is just that he hasn't gotten laid in years." He enveloped me in a bone-crushing hug and wouldn't put me down until I said that I couldn't breathe. After Emmett put me down I carefully glanced behind him. If I didn't know the Captain's eyes so well I would have never guessed it was him. His hair was a mess, well a hot sex hair mess, it looked like he had been running his hand through it repeatedly. His eyes were the same shade of green they always were, dark and haunting. I eyed him up and down and almost couldn't believe that the Captain was wearing jeans, granted they were dark jeans and probably really expensive but they were jeans nonetheless. His black button down shirt was un-tucked and he had folded the sleeves up so that they only reached his forearms.

"Good evening Captain" I said as politely as I could.

"Hello Miss Swan" he replied. At that moment I looked behind me and saw that everybody minus Emmett was staring at us with "what the fuck" looks on their faces. Alice was the first on to put two and two together.

"Wait wait wait, hold on, why did you just call him Captain? Is that another one of your sex fantasies Bella? Captain and his maid in waiting? Oh my gawd wait, is this the fuck hot dude you worked for? AHHH it so is! Bella and the Captain sittin in a tree, F-U-C-K-I-N-G first comes"

"Okay darlin' I think we need to go work off all that alcohol you've consumed" Jasper said, basically saving me from even more humiliation.

"You're so good to me you know that? I luuuuuuuuuuve you" Alice slurred. As soon as Alice and Jasper left Emmett began roaring with laughter.

"Dude! This is the chick you've been trippin over isn't it? That's why you won't let me get you laid! Awwww man, this is awesome!" Emmett bellowed. He continued to laugh as Rosalie looked at me with a questioning glance and I nodded. She grabbed Emmett, who was still laughing by the way, and took him down to the dance floor. After they left an awkward silence descended upon the Captain and I. I mean, how would that not be awkward? I'm standing next to my ex-boss at a club where my friends proceeded to ditch me. Who does that? Just as I was about to chastise myself for coming at all I was brought out of my thoughts by a soft, velvety voice.

"Would you like to sit down?" he asked and led his hand out to the couch "I think we have a lot we need to talk about". I nodded and we walked over to the couch and sat down. It was at least a full 2 minutes before he finally broke the silence.

"Miss Swan I want to apologize for the way I treated you. I realize now that I uhh, behaved badly, and that umm I shouldn't have spoken to you the way I did. I'm sorry." He looked at me expectantly but I was still at a loss for words. The Captain was apologizing? To me? What the fuck? What alternate universe did I just step into? He was still staring at me by the time I realized I hadn't said anything.

"Sorry. I just umm spaced out for a second. I'm sorry too. The way I acted was unprofessional. You were my boss and I should have followed your instructions. I apologize for that. And ummmm I'm also sorry for the way I acted and spoke to you. I'm far to outspoken and it can get me into trouble. Again I'm sorry." I said awkwardly. I still couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that I was sitting in a club next to the Captain and he was apologizing to me.

"Well, all is forgiven then I suppose" he said, "Would you like to star over?"

"I would like that" I replied. We spent the best part of an hour just talking about random things. Well, I did most of the talking he just listened. It was little reminiscent of my first night with him, but I pushed that thought to the back on my mind. We were starting over, turning over a new leaf and all of that other "new beginning" cliché bullshit.

When Emmett, Rose, Alice, and Jasper got back they were absolutely hammered. Some chick song started to play and Rose and Alice started screaming and dragged me out onto the dance floor. I'm not really into dancing but I know how to let go and have a good time. About halfway through the song I felt someone grab onto my hips and start dancing behind me. I figured it was harmless and it was just one song so I let the person stay where they were. Once the song ended I turned around and said, "thanks for the dance". I after that really had to pee so I let Alice and Rose know that I was going to the bathroom.

"Do you want us to go with you? They asked

"Nah, I'm good. I'll meet to you guys back at the table." I replied.

I walked towards the bathroom and after I did my business and fixed my hair and make-up and saw someone leaning against the wall.

"I was the only on in there so whoever you're looking for isn't in there" I said to the man.

"Oh, I wasn't waiting for anyone but you." The man replied. I noticed that he was a guy I danced with. This dude was seriously starting to freak me out.

"What's your name?" I asked; being brought up by a police chief makes you learn a few things. For example, when a strange man creeps on you ask his full name so that way you can track him down if anything happens.

"James, James Monroe. What about you gorgeous?" Ew. He did not just call me that.

"Bella, Bella Masen" Rule #2, never give a stranger your real full name.

"Well Bella, if I was reading you correctly, and I know I was, I'd fancy that you want me to fuck you in that bathroom."

"Actually I don't. But thanks for the offer." I said as I turned around and started walking towards the table. However I only made it a few feet before James grabbed my arm and started dragging me back towards the bathrooms.

"LET GO OF ME!" I yelled at him. I tried calling for help but the music was too loud for anyone to hear me. The more I struggled the harder he grabbed me. By he had his arms around my chest and we were practically in the bathroom. I knew it was over if he got me in there. There would be absolutely no one to hear me yell or call for help. James opened the door and let it close on my leg. Shit! That was going to hurt tomorrow. I was about to give up and just stop fighting when I heard a velvety voice roar from the other side of the door.

"LET HER GO!" James was momentarily distracted and I was able to free myself slightly. He still had a hold of my wrist but the rest of my body was free. The Captain barged into the bathroom. He launched himself at James and started beating the shit out of him. James finally let go of my wrist and I somehow managed to get myself to the other side of the bathroom. Emmett came in a few seconds into James' beating and was attempting to pull the Captain off of James.

"Edward man let him go. He's not worth it." Emmett yelled at him. He was finally able to get the Captain off of James. James laid on the floor moaning. He looked pretty bad. I'm almost positive his nose was broken and he was definitely going to need stitches.

"IF YOU EVER FUCKING TOUCH HER AGAIN I SWEAR TO GOD YOUR BODY WILL BE IN THE GROUND BEFORE YOU TAKE YOUR NEXT BREATH." The Captain yelled. "DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?"

"Yea man whatever just leave me alone" James whined. Emmett decided that it was time to leave so he went back to the table to let everyone know what was going on and let them know that we should probably leave. I hadn't realized I was crying until the Captain came over to me and reached up to my face with his thumb and wiped a tear off of my cheek.

"Are you okay?" he asked. "Did he" he looked like he was struggling with something. He pinched the bridge of his nose and looked directly in my eyes and asked, "Bella love, did he rape you?"

I shook my head no and the full realization of what could have happened hit me. I started the cry even harder and the Captain took me and engulfed me in a hug. He just held me as I cried into his shirt. I heard Alice and Rosalie rush in asking the Captain what happened and if I was okay. I pulled out of the Captain's embrace and said, "I'm fine. I just really want to go home".

"Bella I'm so sorry this is our fault. We shouldn't have let you go to the bathroom by yourself." Rosalie said.

I tried to laugh but it came out as a kind of snort, hiccup thing and said, "I'm not in kindergarten. I can go to the bathroom by myself. It's not your fault, it's not anybody's fault." I hoped my comment would lighten the mood but it didn't' really work. Alice and Rosalie looked at me apologetically and nodded. Emmett and Jasper walked in and let us know that our cars had been brought up.

"Did you drive here?" The Captain asked. I could have forgotten he was there except for the faint electrical buzz that seemed to be around whenever he was.

"Ya" I replied. Alice, Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper then proceeded to argue over who was going to drive me home, deciding that I was unfit to drive. Alice was still too inebriated to drive so she was out which meant so was Jasper. Emmett felt uncomfortable going to Rosalie's place without her being there so he decided that he would drive me home and Rosalie would follow so she could pick him up after he dropped me off. I felt like their plan was totally unnecessary and made things really complicated but I couldn't seem to find my voice.

"I'll drive her home. Emmett can come pick me up tomorrow and we have to drive back to Bellevue anyway so this way makes the most sense," the Captain announced. Everyone seemed to agree. The only ones that were a little unsure were Alice and Rosalie because of what I had told them about the Captain. I gave them a look that said "it's fine", at least I hope that was the look I gave them. I was too emotionally and physically exhausted at this point to even really care.

Once everyone left the bathroom the Captain looked at me and asked "Are you sure you're okay? If you're not it's you can tell me, I won't say anything to the others" he almost looked pained at the thought of me not being okay.

"I'm fine Captain thank you." I told him.

"Bella please, you don't have to call me Captain. Just Edward is fine"

"Okay Just Edward" he flashed me his crooked grin, lightly grabbed my hand and led me out of the bathroom.

We walked out of the club and the freezing cold temperature immediately hit me. Even though it was summer the temperature still was barely above 40 degrees. Edward noticed me shiver and asked if I brought a jacket. I shook my head no. He sighed and moved me so I was facing him and wrapped his arms around me. Now that I was calmed down I was able to fully appreciate being in Edward's arms. I could see through his shirt earlier that he worked out but being pressed against him now confirmed my suspicions. My head and hands rested on his chest, which was hard but not uncomfortably so. I could hear his heartbeat and wondered why it was beating as fast as it was. Adrenaline rush, I figured. Being this close to him I was able to smell his cologne. God he smelt good. It was a mix of men's body wash, aftershave, a woodsy scent, boy and something that could only be described as Edward's natural body scent. Besides his smell and physique I noticed that the faint buzzing I felt in the bathroom hadn't disappeared. Only now instead of a buzz it was more like a constant shock, an electrical spark that made me feel alive.

My car finally arrived and Edward took the keys from the valet guy; I immediately regretted the loss of contact. On top of that, it was really fucking cold. The first thing Edward did when we got in the car was turn on the heater. As the car started to warm up I noticed Edward relax a little. My teeth finally stopped chattering and he seemed appeased by that fact. I wonder if it annoyed him. Great. You have someone who hates you driving you home. Fan-fucking-tastic. If he hated me then why did he save me? Well that would be the proper thing to do right? Not to let a girl get raped? But then why did he beat the shit out of James? He could have just gotten him off of me then left. I started crying again and chastised myself for being such a baby.

"Bella honey what's wrong? Are you okay? Are you hurt?" I didn't really want him knowing what I was thinking so I said, "Just trying to comprehend what happened. I think I'm still in shock". He looked at me suspiciously but gave up after a few seconds and turned his eyes back to the road.

When we got to my building, Edward opened my door and lifted me into his arms. I wanted to argue that I was perfectly capable of walking but I didn't have the strength to talk anymore. He gracefully carried me up the stairs and into my apartment. I wondered for a brief second how he got in but then I realized that he had my keys. I set me down and asked where my room was so he could bring me something to change into. I pointed down the hall and watched him walk toward my room. I decided I really wanted a shower so I walked into the bathroom, closed the door and started the shower. I slowly stripped off my clothes and glanced at myself in the mirror. My face was disgusting and streaked with mascara. My calf was throbbing and I assumed I would have a nasty bruise there in the morning. My wrist was already starting to turn black and was sore to the touch. I stepped into the shower and let the hot water was away all traces of what happened at the club. Once I was finished I grabbed a towel rand wrapped it around myself, realizing that I left my robe in my room. I opened the door to the bathroom and saw that a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt was lying on the floor in front of me. I glanced into my living room and found Edward pacing around the room. I silently grabbed the clothes he laid out for me and went back into the bathroom. I was curious as to why Edward was still in my apartment but I didn't have the strength or patience to analyze his actions at the moment. After I changed into my clothes, I pulled my hair into a messy bun and wiped off my remaining make-up. I put my towel back on the rack and walked out into my living room. The moment Edward saw me he looked like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

"You've had a rough past few hours. Let's get you to bed" he said. I nodded and started walking toward my room. Edward was following close behind me and the electric buzzing was back. Maybe it did have something to do with him…

Once we got to my room he pulled back the covers and lifted me into bed. He walked back out and was about to close the door when I asked softly, "Will you sleep in here with me? Please? I really don't want to be alone". I had no idea where that came from and I almost regretted asking until Edward made his way into my room. He took off his button down shirt to reveal a white v-neck t-shirt underneath. After he removed his shoes he sat down on the bed next to me.

"You can lay down you know" I said to him. He sighed and lifted the covers up so we were both under them. I moved closer to him so my head was resting on his shoulder and his arm was around mine. We lay like that for a while before sleep finally took me. The last thing I remember was Edward whispering something unintelligible in my ear. I thought I felt him kiss my forehead, but I was too tired to be sure if it really happened or not.

A/N: Alright, that was the longest chapter to date. I hope you guys liked it! I know the kids weren't in this one but I promise they'll be at least mentioned in the next one.

I've received a lot of messages saying to "please update soon" so I created a twitter account. If all goes well I should be "tweeting" when I'm writing, editing, posting etc. Let me know if you guys like this idea or if you would rather me do what I was doing before and just updating whenever.

Also, if you have any ideas on a prank for the kids to play on Tanya, send it in a PM or a review :)

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for all of your kind reviews. Whenever I read them they always make me smile. I never expected to get the feedback that I have and it means the world to me that you guys really enjoy the story.
