Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. (No duh.)

A/N: Sorry for such a long delay. I absolutely suck at updating. I had finals and it was just stressful. I also forgot to give virtual hugs to everyone who reviewed. I will remember this time though! One of my stories got nominated in the Twilight Awards for Best One-shot Short and Best Comedy. Go check it out after reading this; it's Bella Is Going Insane. Have fun reading this expectable/last/short chapter!

He sighed and started the car.

"There were some, problems with the Volturi and everything." he said as he pulled out of the parking lot.

"What happened?" I asked.

"You, Bella. Did you really think that I couldn't find you in the school? I can smell your scent about half a mile away." he said with a light chuckle.

I stared out of the window at the grey skies. Jeez, I was stupid. The smoke really must've gotten to my brain. How did I ever think before that he had trouble finding me?

"After you left the cafeteria, I decided not to follow you and give you a little privacy." he said while staring at me, completely oblivious to the road.

"About that, sorry I was so snappy and stuff." I said while thinking of a way to explain it that time of the month again.

He nodded, which proved he knew what I was talking about. It felt extremely awkward in the car.

"So after a few minutes, Alice saw a vision of a fire with you in it. I was so worried, and I immediately ran over to where you were. The fire alarm rang, but there were still a lot of people crowding around the area. The door was completely destroyed, and it would've blown our cover if I went in. I thought about knocking everyone out so I could save you, but Alice said no." he said.

Edward ran his fingers through his hair.

"Don't tell me you're hating yourself for this." I said. "Obviously that was the only choice at the time."

"I know, but you were in danger! What else was I supposed to do? Emmett and Jasper had to physically drag me out of there. Alice said you were fine at the moment, but that's just it, only at the moment. It was also unbelievably sunny outside. Not a single cloud. I had no idea what condition you were in, and I didn't have any medical supplies in case you were in a serious condition. So we waited. Two long minutes, I was counting down each millisecond. The only thought that ever crossed my mind was demolishing the whole school. Then Alice told me the bridge on Ridgeside had a major traffic jam due to an accident. Even ambulances and firetrucks couldn't get through. So they sent more, but in another direction that took much longer." he said.

"Wow, what luck." I said.

Honestly though, all of that happened just decided to happen while I was in a flaming bathroom?

"My patience was diminishing by the second, and I just decided to go in there myself. Then Esme came." he said exasperadly. "She told me that the Volturi had strict orders not to do anything. They also said that the humans there probably couldn't even locate the place. If I went in, there would be news, and that would just draw more attention to my already strange family. It was either stand there and watch you die, or save you, and then we would all die anyways."

His eyes were getting dangerously black, and his hand gripped the steering wheel even tighter.

"Well you obviously made the right choice by waiting." I said. "You know I don't blame you at all."

"I knew you were going to say that, but it was absolutely terrifying. I just stood there feeling extremely hopeless. I grabbed my phone and begged Aro to let me save you. He kept denying me and I knew time was running out. So I decided to blackmail him." he said in a serious tone.

I would've made a comment, but the mood was all wrong.

"Carlisle and I visited him after the second year I was a vampire, and I discovered something very shocking by accident. He threatened to kill me if I told anyone. I knew it was evil, but it really was necessary. Aro agreed and I immediately sped over to the little window next to the bathroom." he continued.

I was so lured in by his voice that I didn't even notice that we were next to his house.

"Then you came and saved me." I ended.

Edward relaxed a bit and looked over my injuries again. I could still see a little bit of self-loathing.

"You're still not completely unscathed though." he sighed.

"Edward, stop hating on yourself and just forget everything that happened today." I said.

"Yes, Master." he joked.

He smiled my favorite crooked smile and gently grabbed my hand. My heart rate sped up a bit. Then he brought it up to his lips and gave it a kiss. My knight in shining armor.

A/N: Haha, cheesy much? This is the last chapter peeps. I'm also sorry for the stupid title and summary. I hate coming up with titles and summaries. It's just so freaking hard. Check out my other stories too. :) Thanks for reading!

(P.S. If you're reading my story, you'd better review before I hunt you down. Did that sound threatening?) :D
