Book: Twilight
Edward's Point of View

I stood next to my car watching bella swan in horror. A blue van was skidding towards her as she stood there helplessly, not seeming to notice it at first.

When she saw it, there was a look of horror on her face. I ran over to bella and pushed her hard, to get her away from where the van would smash.

She hit her head hard, as I pushed her to the floor, pinning her down.

I shot out my hand to stop the van from crushing her. I lifted the van up as I pulled her away.

“bella? Are you all right?” I asked her. “I’m fine,” she answered back, her voice strained. She tried to sit up, but I was holding her down.

“be careful. I think you hit your head pretty hard,” I said. “ow,” bella said. “that’s what I thought.” “How in the-how did you get over here so fast?” she asked me.

“I was standing right next to you, bella.” I let her sit up tis time and I slid as far away from her as possible, trying not to breathe in her scent that made me want to kill her.

The people around the scene where shouting to us. “don’t move! Get tyler out of the van!” bella tried to get up, but I pushed her back down to the floor again.

“just stay put for now,” I said. “but it’s cold,” she complained. I chuckled under my breath, hoping she wouldn’t hear.

“you were over there,” Bella said suddenly remembering.

I stopped chuckling. “you were by your car,” she said. I got serious. She saw me over there, but I can’t tell her. It would reveal my secret, I thought.

“no I wasn’t,” I lied. “I saw you.” The adults started arriving, and I would get to leave soon. “bella, I was standing with you when I pulled you out of the way,” I lied.

She’s very observant, I thought. “no.” “please bella,” I said. “Why?” she asked. “trust me,” I pleaded.

“will you promise to explain everything to me later?” she asked, obviously wanting to figure out what happened. “fine,” I snapped.

“fine,” she repeated after me angrily. I will not tell her. I cannot tell her, I thought.
