"He was only talking to me, calm down." Yeah he wanted to protect her but she didn't want to seem totally helpless and have him following her around if he was going to be like that with everyone she tried to talk to.

Mike stumbled back from the push and glared at Edward. "What's your problem man?"

"Come near her again and I will kill you." His eyes narrowed. He was serious.

"Edward! stop this." Bella was getting angry and people were coming out of the classes to watch, why was he making a scene. This isn't what she wanted.

"Aren't you over reacting just a bit? I know she is your girlfriend and all, but you don't own her." He turned his attention away from Edward and back to Bella. "So will you go?"

Extremely pissed now Edward shoved him against a locker. "I. Will. Kill. You. Got that? Shes not going anywhere with you." He dropped Mike to the floor and moved back to Bella and pulled her with him to leave.

She resisted and jerked her arm away from him, angry. "Why are you acting like this? I know you want to protect me, but this-" He cut her off and stopped walking to look at her.

"You don't know what he was thinking." He spoke softy to her trying to control his anger and just let her know he only did it to protect her.

"Thats still no reason to make a scene in front of the whole school. Its bad enough you and your family have to act different anyways." She spoke as they walked outside towards the school parking lot. She wasn't really mad at him, but did worry.

He walked with her ashamed of himself now from the way she made it all sound. "He hurt my feelings…" Sighing, it was odd for him to admit something like that, even more so to her since he was suppose to be the tough one that took the pain for them both.

That stunned her and she looked up at him concerned. "Really?" She tried to read his face and could tell he was serious. That bothered her for some reason and she reached up to touch his face lovingly to try and help.
