Chapter Five

Edward's POV

I held Bella as she slept in my arms, but there were a few times I had to leave her because Charlie had checked on her during the night. When he would leave I entered through the window again, then get on the bed and hold her. Bella looked so peaceful in her sleep that it made me smile, but I still couldn't help but worry about her though. She had thrown up blood over ten times yesterday, I felt she needed to see Carlisle sooner than Wednesday. Her heart beat was a little unusual and that scared me, but I couldn't tell Bella because she would question how I knew it and could possibly figure out what I am. I felt Bella life's could possibly be in danger, which I disliked greatly because I selfishly wanted her in my life. I wanted us to remain like this forever, I wanted to be able to hold her in my arms until she died of old age.

Alice entered through the window and said, “You're a stupid fool. Why can't you tell her what all of us are?” I replied, “I don't want to put her life in danger.” Then Alice fidgeted with her fingers and said, “You don't know how much time she has left.” I asked her, “Did you see something? Tell me, now!” I realized Alice looked like she was going to fall apart, she said, “She'll be crushed, her blood will be spilled over the pavement.” I asked, “How? How does she die, Alice?” Alice covered her face with her hands and said, “A van, Tyler's van. The pavement will be icy and he'll lose control.” Bella began to stir and I made a hushing sound, I didn't want Bella to hear our conversation. I spoke lowly, “Maybe I should take care of the bandaging today, I don't want Bella to know.” Alice questioned, “Aren't afraid of how she's going to react seeing you in bed with her?” I answered, “No, she already knows about me sneaking into her room at night.” She nodded her head and left without saying another word, I held Bella even closer to me.

A few minutes Bella woke up and asked, “Why isn't Alice here?” I answered, “I told her to go back home, she seemed upset about something.” Then she asked, “Are you going to bandage my wounds than?” I replied, “Yes, my love.” After that she asked, “Are you going to join me in the shower?” I laughed and said, “No, I need to get things prepared. We'll shower together some other time.” I watched her as she got off the bed, she told me, “You better keep that promise.” Then she left the room to go to the bathroom and take a shower, I got off the bed and began preparing for when Bella would get back waiting for me to tend to her wounds. As I looked through the things I found a box of condoms, I didn't understand why Alice had brought them over with the other things. Maybe it was possible that Bella's future hadn't been clearly defined yet, there could be a possibility Bella doesn't die for some reason.

Bella's POV

I came back to my room five minutes later to see a shirtless Edward waiting more me, I hadn't bothered to put on any undergarments because Edward wouldn't be bother with me being naked. I bent over to grab some undergarments from the bottom drawer, within a few seconds I felt a form against my buttocks and couldn't help but shiver in fear. Edward said apologetic tone, “I'm sorry Bella, I didn't mean to scare you.” Then he whispered soothingly, “You have nice round buttocks by the way.” I stood up and turned around to see him looking at me with a goofy grin on his face, I couldn't keep myself from laughing at him. He asked, “Why are you laughing?” I told him, “You have a goofy grin on your face.” I stepped closer to him and massage his chest, he bent down and kissed my lips swiftly. I wanted more of him; no, I needed more of him. It just felt like magic every-time we kiss and I wanted to know why I felt the electric shock every-time we touched, this shock only intensified the how I felt about Edward – my vampire....

When I parked my truck in the back of the parking lot and got out I spotted Alice almost instantly, she looked at me with sorrow. Then she mouthed at me, “I'm so sorry, Bella.” I didn't understand what she had to be sorry about, she had me completely confused; I turned around and placed my backpack in the back of the truck. I could tell Edward was staring at me, in fact I could feel all of the Cullen's staring at me and it made me feel uneasy. Then I heard the sound of tires screeching, I realized it was coming towards me. I turned around swiftly and saw Tyler van coming towards me, there was no doubt in my mind that I would be crushed to death. I closed my eyes that I knew as I trick to intensify the noises in my surrounding, I could even hear the smallest whisper. I quickly heard Edward say, “No, I won't let this happen. She can't die.” My eyes snapped open instantly, I didn't think Edward would risk his secret just to save my life.
