Hello my children. I have a new story here, don't worry I will still continue to update 'Keep the Streets Empty for me' this story has just been floating around in my head. So here we are.

Prologue

His eyes scanned the room around him as he held on tightly to my arms; his breath was out of sync and puffy. Something was happening.

"Edward, you're scaring me. What's wrong?" I asked him in a whisper.

He flashed his eyes back to mine "I'm sorry I involved you by coming here. I know I shouldn't have, but I needed to see you before they take me" His words confused me. Take him; take him where? Who were they? "I don't know how long I'll be gone, but you have to promise not to come and see me; I don't want you to see me there"

"Edward I-"

"Promise me" he commanded.

"I promise" I whispered "Edward what's going on?"

He dropped his grip on my arm and started to pace the room, stopping at the window as he looked down "I fucked up Bella. I really fucked up"

I took a step towards him when he slammed his fist against the wall beside the window, it startled me.

"I wasn't thinking. I'm still not thinking" he muttered to himself "I shouldn't have come here. I shouldn't be here"

I placed my hand on his back, and he turned to look at me "What's wrong?" I asked again. He cupped my cheek in his hand, and instinctively I leaned into it "Edward" I breathed.

Placing his other hand on my other cheek and he leant his forehead against mine "I love you Bella, and I'm so sorry"

I was about to return his term of endearment, but I was interrupted by a swarm of police crashing through my front door. Edward swung me, around so I was hiding behind him, my back pressed up against the window.

The officer I recognized from earlier on that day approached us "The games are up Masen. Are you going to come quietly or do I need to force you?" he asked Edward.

"I'd like to see you try Black" Edward snorted "You and I both know that Grandma Masen packs a bigger punch than you"

Officer Black shook his head with a smile "Always the joker Masen, even when you're facing life in prison"

Life! What?

"I'll come quietly as long as you can let Bella walk away" Edward bargained "She's got nothing to do with this"

I watched as Officer Black and Edward tried to stare each other down.

I gripped tightly onto Edward's t-shirt; he reached behind him and squeezed my hand in reassurance?

"I think we can come to some arrangement" Officer Black finally answered "Take him away boys" he gestured to the three officers behind him. They moved forward towards us, and Edward let go of my hand and turned around to face me once again.

"I'm sorry" he mouthed and I watched wide-eyed as his hands were handcuffed by one of the police officers "Remember what you promised Bella" he started as he was being pulled out of the room, tears started to run down my face "Don't come and see me. I don't want you there Bella. I can't let you see me like that"

"Edward" I reached towards him but Officer Black stepped in front of me, blocking my path. My mouth went dry as Edward was finally escorted out of my apartment and out of view "I don't know" I said slowly, shaking my head.

"He's a bad man Miss Swan. He's getting exactly what he deserves" Officer Black said to me. He then left the apartment leaving me alone.

Not entirely alonethe small voice in my head chimed in as I placed my hand over my stomach.
