I do not own Twilight or any of its awesome characters.
This is from Bella's POV and its all human.
Law and Order: Cullen Style
I started pacing nervously; I was supposed to meet my lawyer about ten minutes ago. I couldn't believe Alice was late to picking me up. She's always complaining about how I don't drive fast enough; yet, whenever it's her turn to drive she's always late; stupid, no good 2-for-1 sale. Alice knew how important this meeting was for me. I needed to find a lawyer for the trial coming up.
I still can't believe that that idiot boy Newton started stalking me after high school. I was so sure that once I left Forks I would never have to see that love-sick puppy again. Oh, how wrong I was. It started in senior year. I always knew Mike was slightly obsessive about me, but when he started asking me what college I wanted to and then applying to the same ones, I'd had just about enough.
I started giving him random colleges, like University of Alaska or MATC. But then, he actually started digging through my trash and grabbing the fake transcripts. I wanted to slog him, but I'd made it this far with a perfect record, I wasn't about to screw it up now. Plus, I'd probably end up hurting myself. I doubt I could even scratch him without breaking my leg.
When the letter from Dartmouth came I was so glad. Not only was it my number one choice, but the chances of Newton getting in were one in a million. I figured I was rid of him. I graduated and then found an apartment with two roommates, Alice and Rosalie.
It seemed too good to be true, honestly. Alice and Rose were amazing; they treated me like a sister. I have to admit at first, I was really intimidated. They are both absolutely gorgeous. Rose is like beauty personified. And their old roommate, a girl named Tanya, was just as beautiful, if not more. I had some big shoes to fill and I couldn't help, but be self-conscious.
At first, Rose was a little distant. Her ex-fiancé had turned out to be a jerk who basically was just marrying her for her looks and her family's money. She was going through a lot so I tried to stay out of her way as much as possible. Alice, on the other hand, was a little over-friendly, if there is such a thing. She was always buying me new clothes and playing "dress-up Bella". Sometimes, I had to wonder if I reminded her of Barbie or something.
Once we all got used to each other and settled in Rose started to warm up to me and Alice cooled down a little, and I mean a very little. That's when I started noticing the little things, like roses at the doorstep that said "To my high-school sweetheart, my love" and the phone calls where the person on the other line would just breathe into the phone until whoever answered it hung up.
We all thought it was harmless, obviously creepy and very disturbing, but whoever it was wasn't actually hurting anyone. And then, I got a date with this guy named Jacob. I had a lot of fun with him, but honestly he was more of a brother then a boyfriend to me, plus he was two years older than me.
The day after my date, I got these pictures in the mail. It was just me and Jake, sitting at dinner, talking laughing. Attached to it was a little post-it note: "How could you do this to me, you little slut? I thought we were in love-insert skulls here- see him again and he's dead meat". I screamed for ten minutes straight. Rose came running of course, Alice was shopping again. When she saw it, she picked up the phone and called her father. Carlisle was amazing; he reassured me that he would have some of his interns at the hospital watch the apartment, he said their names were Jasper and Emmett. They would make sure no one hurt me and watch for people coming and putting things in the mail box, there was no address on the envelope.
The next day Emmett arrived, Rose fell head over heels. It was perfect, she hadn't dated anyone since her fiancé and Emmett really was perfect for her. Although the noise that comes from her bedroom almost nightly now is definitely trying my patience now.
If that wasn't enough, the next day Jasper showed up. When they saw each other it was obvious the connection that was there before they even introduced themselves. Their love was much more subtle then Rose and Emmett's. There was no denying it was there, but they didn't flaunt it around like the other couple.
Nothing really happened, stalker-wise for a week, so it went to the back of everyone's mind. I was beginning to think it was just a bad joke someone decided to play.
I started at Dartmouth the following week so I just pushed it out of my mind, only thinking about it late at night when I was about to go to sleep. My classes were amazing and I made some awesome friends. Jake was a TA in the Animal protection department, he specialized in the wolf or something, and I also met this girl in my lit class, Angela. She was really nice and helped me out with my homework a lot.
Everything was going great, I wasn't even thinking about stalker boy anymore. Until, one night Jake's cousin came to school and Jake wanted me to meet him. His name was Seth and he was still in high school. We all went out to lunch and we had a great time, Seth was really funny.
We were just taking the check when I saw him. He was sprinting towards the café and he had a gun in his hand. Next thing I know, Mike came in the store.
"How could you do this to me, Bella? I thought we were in love, soul mates remember? And now I see you here with him again? I warned you, I told you I'd kill him if I saw him come anywhere near you again." Mike stepped forward over a chair that had fallen over and raised the gun. Jake stepped in front of me and Seth and held up his hands in the universal sign of "I come in peace".
"Okay, buddy just calm down. You don't have to do this. Think about your family, your friends. What will happen when they find out about this?"
"I don't care about them, I only care about Bella," He turned back to me, his hand visibly shaking. "Don't you realize how much I love you Bella? We are meant to be together, I know it and you know it too."
Jake lunged at Mike, who was still facing me. He tried to move out of the way, but he was just a split second too late. Jake wrestled the gun away from him and tossed it a good 10 feet away. Pinning his hands down, he turned to me "Bella, can you call 911?"
The kid behind the cashier raised his hand, looking petrified. "I already pressed the silent alarm, they're on their way." He said just as I saw a police cruiser pull up next to the side of the building.
The police had taken Mike into custody and Jake and I had been asked if we wanted to press charges. I did, but Jake didn't he figured it was my battle so I should be the one to get "the pleasure of putting the scumbag in jail".
Beep, beep.
"Come on Bella! Snap out of it! We're going to be late."
So this is the beginning of the story. Please review. Next chapter will be when Bella meets Edward her "lawyer" who is a friend of Emmett and Jaspers. I haven't decided whether to do it from Edward or Bella's point of view yet. Let me know what you think PLEASE. Review if you liked it, review if you didn't. The whole stalker thing is actually something that happened to me only the guy didn't get as far as pointing a gun at my now ex-boyfriend. It is sooo creepy to have someone call you at midnight and then just breathe into the phone for 3 minutes.
