Edward didn't come over to Bella's that night like he normally did. Mainly just to give her a chance to relax and to answer all the questions his family dished out at him. Of course Alice wanted to know everything. He did return that morning to wait for her outside like he always did, but was confused when she never came.

Of course it was no struggle for him to find his way into the house to hurry her along. He started with her room, happy to see his choice was right on. She had never slept in before and hoped she wasn't getting sick or something.

"Bella." He spoke softly as he approached her bed and reached down to rub a hand down her back to gently wake her. She looked so amazing when she was sleeping. It took him a moment to notice she was still in her dress. He stared a minute to remember their night once again and tried to wake her once more when she didn't move. "Come on beautiful." He kissed her cheek lightly after he spoke and sat down on her bed beside her.

Bella groaned slightly as she was waking up. Her headache was still present and the burning pain in the cut made her keep her eyes shut. She really didn't even notice she was being woken up by someone until she felt his cold hand rubbing up and down her arm. She smiled slightly forgetting about her pain for the moment and rolled over to be closer to the familiar touch. That is until she felt him tense and opened her eyes to find him staring at her.

Edward's mind was at a blank at first when he saw the bandage on her face it taking his breath away and making him speechless. After the initial shock a million things ran through his mind at once.

"Bella my God what happened to you?" She could hear the sadness and concern in his voice and it broke her heart. Struggling for a few seconds she had to think of something else to tell him other than the truth. Glad that he couldn't read her mind. She knew if she told him Charlie had done it he would kill him. At that moment she couldn't deal with anymore stress.
