I wasn't sure how long I'd fainted for, likely only a couple of seconds at most, but when I came too it was to something cold pressing against my forehead. I opened my eyes and immediately met Edward's. His hand was the refreshingly cold thing that woke me up. Quickly I shut my eyes again, not wanting to face him, and glared. Even though I was conscious again I was still feeling light headed and couldn't sit up yet.

"Edward, take Bella to the nurse." Banner said from the doorway. He sounded unfazed by the way one of his students fainted, and I assumed it must have been a common thing for him during dissections he held in the past, especially surprise ones.

"Yes, sir." Edward nodded, and Banner disappeared back into the classroom. I prepared myself to face Edward after he'd been right about me pushing myself, and the humiliation that came with it.

Then I opened my eyes.

Edward knelt beside me and after seeing the anger in my eyes he pulled his cool hand away from my forehead. He had brought my backpack out and had it beside me and his was swing over his shoulder. Banner must have excused him to take care of me. Edward wasn't proud that he'd predicted my sickness. He actually looked quite upset and worried about me.

"You get away from me." I growled. I hoped that Edward would leave and this humiliation would end, but the world wasn't willing to give me that today.

"No can do." Edward shook his head and he attempted to help me sit up. I refused his hand and managed on my own. "I'm under strict orders to get you to the nurse."

"Absolutely not." I shook my head at the idea. Even if it was Banners idea this time and not Edwards, I wouldn't allow it to happen. "Nurses make me anxious, you know that. I'm going back inside."

I explained to him before that I didn't do nurses or doctors. That was the whole reason he'd started to care so much for me when I injured myself; because nobody else would. Edward was the one I trusted to give me check ups after accidentally hurting myself and make sure I wasn't too badly damaged. Doctors of any sort were a no go, Carlisle and his home office being the only exception, but our circumstances had changed that.

"No you're not." Edward said firmly. Fighting him on this one would be a chore. A useless, time wasting chore. "Banner won't let you back in, and I won't let you drive home after fainting."

I stat for a second, defeated by his stubbornness and too foggy to fight. Apart from his cold hand on my forehead when I woke up, he hadn't laid another finger on me. He was respecting the demand I gave him yesterday to not touch me, and although a small part of me was upset at myself for wanting physical contact with him again so soon after the argument, I was slightly pleased that he hadn't forgotten my anger and our fight.

Even if he didn't acknowledge it it was still there, looming over him.

"Can I help you up?" Edward asked as he extended a hand out. I was worried that if we did touch again now that I was fully conscious, I wouldn't be able to walk away from it.
