When I was rereading Twilight I suddenly wondered what would've happened if Edward had lost control when saving Bella from Tyler's van so I decided to write a story from it.

He was still holding me. Our bodies were pressed together. And then slowly he bent towards me, his face almost touching mine. He looked into my eyes. I couldn't think, couldn't breathe and then his lips touched mine. It was a soft kiss and a sweet kiss. The same electricity that I'd felt when he touched my hand coarsed through me. I forgot everything around me. Forgot that seconds before a van had almost crushed me and that he had somehow stopped with his hands. I forgot my name, everything. I could only think of him. His lips were very cold and hard, I shivered but not because of the chill. It was a shiver of pleasure.
It didn't matter that I barely knew him, that I had thought that he hated me. This was Edward after all. Edward, who was excruciatingly beautiful and who had mesmerized me from my first day at this school.
My breathing was rapidly accelerating and I could hear my own heartbeat in my ears. His breathing was also much quicker. His breath smelt delicious.
He moaned my name against my lips.
His lips moved to my neck, to my throat I could feel them lingering on my pulse and then I suddenly felt two short stabs of pain. His lips were still on my neck, but suddenly it didn't feel like he was kissing me anymore. He pulled back, his eyes were dark and a hunger burned in them but the foremost emotion on his face was shock.
"Bella, Bella, I'm sorry, so sorry, I don't know what," he trailed of looking at me.
I was about to protest. Why was he apologizing for kissing me? It was completely fine with me if he kissed me. Actually it was more than fine.
And then the pain started. It was a small fire that seemed to originate from my neck. A fire that was spreading and getting worse with every passing second. I screamed.

Oh no! What had I done? I just hadn't been able to stop myself. She was so close to me and her soft lips… And her blood… No, I told myself sternly. I will not think about that. About the beautiful, delicious... Stop, I told myself I will not think about it. I had to focuse on what was happening now.
I rushed over to her ignoring the way her blood appealed to me. She looked confused and dazed. A small part of my mind suddenly understood how Carlisle was able to ignore the smell of blood. If you focused on something else hard enough it wasn't that difficult. Then again Carlisle would've never ever made the mistake that I'd just made.
"Bella, Bella, I'm sorry, so sorry, I don't know what," I started. Then I saw the pain beginning to form in her eyes. She screamed. Her scream and her pain hurt me. It felt like my head was about to explode. This was unforgiveable. How could I have done this?
Suddenly Alice and Emmett were by my side they had come to help. Rosalie had probably taken Jasper away. Bella was bleeding.
Edward what have you done now. Rose will kill you, you know. Emmett thought.
I told you so. That was Alice she sounded smug.
Bella was screaming and writhing in pain. It was agonizing. Trying to ignore her scream and her pain that was mine too I turned to Emmett ignoring Alice.
"Emmett, what do we do?" I asked. I was lost I didn't know what to do. All I could think of was Bella, her pain, what I had done to her.
Emmett usually the childish one took control of the situation.
"Okay, you all know what this means. She is going through the change. We have to get her to Carlisle," he said stating the obvious.
"We have two and a half minutes until the ambulance arrives. We better hurry. Edward, we have to go. Can you handle carrying her?" She paused for a second and her face went blank. In her mind I saw a vision of myself. I was carrying Bella. I barely recognized my own face.
"Good now go. I will sort everything out here; Emmett can go to the hospital to get Carlisle. Rosalie will come and help you."
I picked Bella up in my arms. She was still screaming. I carried her to my car and carefully put her in the back.
I suddenly detected new thoughts just arriving. It was Rosalie. Good job. You've certainly done it this time. She was fuming. I didn't care I only cared about Bella. I turned back to her, stroke her hand and whispered: "Don't worry Bella, everything will be fine, it will stop. I promise, I love you."
And suddenly I realized it was true. I did love her. Alice had been right all along, I had fallen for a mortal. A mortal whose soul I had just destroyed. I buried my face in my hands.
When Rosalie spoke again her tone was softer. "I'll hold her to make sure she doesn't hurt herself."
"Thank you Rosalie." I was grateful but that was only a short and fleeting emotion before the pain of what I'd done to Bella had me again.
She didn't answer and just held Bella's arms to her sides for now still stronger than Bella although that would change soon. It would change just like everything else because of what I'd done to her.
"We've got to move her now. We don't have much time," Emmett urged.
"I'll start up the Volvo. Edward, Rosalie you'll have to run. Emmett we'll go now."
Emmett and Alice flitted of so fast that no human would be able to see them. Rosalie and I exchanged a quick look and then started sprinting after them.
We had just reached the Volvo when we heard sirens in the distance. Rosalie and I quickly got into the back holding Bella putting down Bella in the middle. Emmett was driving with Alice going shotgun. We sped out of the parking lot while I was still trying to soothe Bella although I knew it would be impossible. I had been through that and I knew what it was like. There was no relief from that kind of pain. She would never forgive me.
