BELLA's POV:
Today was Saturday. Edward was coming over to the spend the day. Charlie was out fishing, so we were free to do and talk about whatever.
I didn't feel like dressing up so I just put on a pair of old jeans, a green polo shirt and a grey hoodie. I tied my hair back in a pony tail and brushed my hair back with two clips to stop my locks falling into my face.
I looked at my face in the mirror. My face was almost as pale as Edward's. He wasn't around too much these days, always off hunting. Not that I blamed him.
But sometimes, I think he just goes off on these 'hunting' trips so that he doesn't have to talk about the fact that Jacob was entering my dreams. I was really worried about him. What if something happened to him because of me? But no, I couldn't let myself think about Jacob. I don't even think my love for Jacob was even love. I think it was just platonic. I only will ever love Edward. So why did I need to convince myself?
The doorbell rang.
I ran downstairs as fast as I could and I opened the door.
There he was. My knight in shining armour. His perfect bronze hair, his alluring topaz eyes. Those stone cold lips. I took a step back and admired his appearance.
He was wearing a pair of blue jeans and black shirt. Pretty simple, yet he looked so God-like.
He smiled that perfect crooked smile of his as he stepped him and took my hand as he led me to the couch.
He took me in his arms and gently kissed my head. Uh-Oh. Bad sign.
"Edward? Is everything alright?" I asked, not sure if I wanted to hear the answer.
He sighed and pull back. "Bella-" He's not going to be able to spend the day, is he? Perfect.
"Bella, I can't spend the day." See, I knew it.
"Not because I don't want to. But it's just that the coven from Denali are coming and Carlisle wants me to be there. And it's better that I'm there, y'know?"
"I could come if you wanted me to, I wouldn't mind."
Edward widened his eyes and took my face in his hands. "No, love, it's better you're not there. It's best to give us some time to explain the whole vampire marrying a human thing."
I sighed.
He put his face at level with mine to try to get me to look at him. "Please try to understand. I really wish I could spend the whole day with you, I really do. But look at it this way, when we're married. We'll have an eternity together. Always and forever."
"Forever." I repeated.
I sighed again and he pulled me close to him.
We sat there for about 10 minutes before he said he had to go and I let him.
I just sat around the house, doing chores, watched a bit of TV.
Then the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey Bella, it's Angela."
"Oh hey Ang, what's up?"
"Not much, just wanted to see if you wanted to hang out."
"Sure."
"Be there in 10 minutes?"
"Sure."
"Bye."
"Bye"
Well, it was something to do at least.
I got changed into a black and white plaid skirt and a tank top. Angela showed up exactly 10 minutes later.
"So what do you want to do?" I asked Angela as she came in.
"I don't know, do you maybe want to go to Port Angeles and get something to eat and maybe catch a movie?"
"Okay."
"Let's go."
I grabbed my denim jacket and we got in Angela's car and drove to Port Angeles.
We ended up doing nothing. Just sitting around, eating and talked about my wedding and what's to come for the future.
It was getting late. Angela said we needed to hurry on home.
I told her I'd catch the bus, I needed to feel what it was like to be back on a public transportation, too many rides with silver volvo's.
So I walked the way I thought was to the bus station, but I found I was going the wrong way.
I was heading down a dark street, it looked like a place where homeless people stayed.
I went to turn to go back the way I came, even though I knew I probably missed my bus by now, and I heard cackling.
I turned around and there was, what looked like, a biker gang, coming at me from all sides.
My whole body froze. I half expected Edward to come and rescue me but I knew this wouldn't be like last time.
"Hello, girlie, what's a beautiful young thang like yourself doing out here?" One of the men, wearing a bandana on his head said.
Thang, did he just say THANG? I thought.
They smelled repulsive, obviously been drinking. If I wasn't scared, I would've put my hand to my nose to block out the smell.
There was 4 or 5 of them? I knew what was going to happen. I knew I should've taken the car with Angela. Even if I rang her now, what could she do?
Edward wouldn't come in time. And besides, they'd do something to me before I could get the chance to call.
I weighed all the options in my head. How far could I be from where normal people where - not far, right?
One of them wrapped their arms around my waist and smelt my neck. His foul breath clouding around my head.
I didn't know what to do. I was in trouble. And I needed help.
