Bella sat in her truck right there on the road for a few minutes trying to make out where he might have gone. She shut her eyes to try and put the pieces together of the nights events with no success. He would just have to explain everything to her once he could. She finally pulled up the house and sighed as she got out and shut the door carrying her things.

Alice came out of nowhere and scared her half to death. "Is Edward ok?" She sounded worried. Bella got her heart beat back to normal before explaining anything. "He took off."

"What happened? I saw him hurt and bleeding. Everyone is worried." Alice grabbed some of Bella's bags as they walked inside since she noticed her struggling.

"I don't know. Charlie did something to him and then he was so angry, or hurt, or I don't even know. He wouldn't talk to me about it. He wouldn't even let me help." Bella tried to hold back her tears, once again getting upset at how he acted. Alice being the great friend that she was tried to comfort her. The others knew she was there in the house and had been over hearing their conversation. For the sake of them they stayed hidden and left them alone.

"I can take it from here Alice." Bella pulled away from her at that voice and turned to face Edward coming toward them. Alice knowing how he was left them alone to figure things out on their own.

She looked at his face the closer he got. His eye still looked slightly messed up, but not as bad as she would of expected. He no longer tried to cover it and hide it from her.

"Bella…" He reached out for her, his voice never sounding so broken and tormented before. She instantly went to him. Of course she wasn't happy with what had happened, but he was obviously suffering and taking it a lot harder than she would of thought.

"Trying to say I'm sorry isn't going to take away what I did. I can only hope that you forgive me. I was so scared…" He once again found it hard to admit to her he had been scared of something. "I had never experienced something like that before as a Vampire. The pain was so intense it clouded my sanity. I wasn't seeing things for the way they were. All I knew was trying to make the pain stop and when you kept grabbing onto me… I slipped. I let that side of me go that you should never have to see. My instinct when hurt is to feed. For the first time in a long time your blood was once again extremely hard to resist. I couldn't have you near me and put you at risk until I had calmed down." He cupped her face with one hand and brushed some hair behind her ear with the other. "It will never happen again. I would never want to cause you pain."
