E. POV
I walked out of the elevator and to the apartment door; I got the keys out of my pocket and jammed them into the keyhole.
I walked in setting my keys on the hall table. I took my shoes off and made my way into the kitchen, looking around for Bella. I sighed when I saw a note on the kitchen counter.
Edward,
Sorry, I am not home; your sister dragged me out for a day of 'fun' and a night out at the club.
P.S Be home late tonight.
Love you,
Bella.
I sighed; all I wanted to do was hold Bella in my arms tonight. I looked at the clock it was only 6' o'clock. I looked at my phone; I looked at a text from Emmett.
Edward, we all going to the beach tonight, you coming? - E
I sighed, I would have to check with Bella, even though she said didn't mind me going to bonfire's, she still worried.
I dialled her number and on the second ring she answered, "Hey baby." I heard her say.
"Hey, I was just calling to say that I was wondering if you were okay with me going to a bonfire on the beach tonight?" I asked her.
I heard her breath hitch as she panicked a bit, "Um, I am fine with you going but just be careful, I worry." She said her voice shaky.
"I know but don't worry, I will be fine." I told her.
"I know you will be but I care about your safety and well you know Jacob will be there and I know you guys aren't . . . exactly . . ." She looked for a word.
"Civil." I Said.
"Yes, just try not to let him push your buttons, just ignore him." She told me.
"I will try but no guarantees."
I heard her sigh sadly and I frowned, "Please Edward, my dad wont like it if Billy rings him and says that my fiancé was down at the beach and him and Jake had a little misunderstanding." She said with a whimper.
"Okay Bella, I promise to be good, have a good night with the girls and get home safely, see you late tonight." I told her.
"Okay I love you babe." She whispered, but I could tell she was smiling by the tone of her voice.
"I love you too." I said and we hung up.
I text Emmett to say that I would be there in an hour, he agreed to meet me at the parking lot of the beach. Our friends, Jasper, Paul, Alec and Felix were coming as well. Jasper and Alec were already down there, starting the fire.
I went to the liquor store and got a few beers, and as I was on the way to the beach, I saw Emmett ahead of me, he parked and I got out, locking my car. I pulled my hoodie on and walked over to him, giving my big brother a hug.
We waited for Paul and Felix to arrive and when they did, we made our way to the fire, Jasper and Alec had set up.
I planted my ass down in a chair and put the beer on top of the cooler, I passed one to each of the guys. I relaxed back, closing my eyes. I listened to the waves and the guys silently chatting. They were talking about baseball and football and giving there opinion on different players.
I heard something behind me, and as I looked over my shoulder I saw Jacob and two of his friends Embry and Sam. I sighed and shook my head. I put my beer down and looked at Emmett; he rolled his eyes as Jacob stopped in front of our fire.
"Hey guys, I heard you were down here and thought I would stop by." He said, trying to sound all nice.
"Well that was kind of you." Jared said in a sarcastic voice.
Jacob's eyebrows scrunched together and he glared at me even though I hadn't said anything.
"So, how's Bella?" He asked.
I sighed, trying to keep my cool, I knew what was coming. "She's wonderful." I said.
"Did you here about her being down here the other day with me, she seemed really happy as we walked along the beach, she was saying that you guys had a little tiff." I stared at him, I knew Bella had been here, I knew Charlie was with her as they were having a barbeque at Sue's, but I didn't understand what he meant about us fighting.
"Um I knew she was down here and no I don't recall the 'tiff' we had." I said to him.
"Oh, well she told Emily that you guys decided to move to Seattle once you were married only, wait . . . She doesn't want to go, does she?" He smirked.
I stared at him with a surprised face, "Well that's some bullshit your making up." I said.
"Well is it bullshit when I tell you that the other day she was moaning my name as I let her suck on my dick and how great she is at sex but she just needs a partner to do it with, since you want to wait till marriage." He smiled and then started laughing.
"Good one Jake." Sam high-fived him.
"Well I am pretty good at cracking jokes now and then." He said, laughing.
I was raging and so was Emmett, I got up and walked away, I was angry but I knew if I stayed I would beat the shit out of Jacob, and Bella wouldn't be too happy about that. I heard Emmett yelling and Jacob and his friends laughing.
I stopped and sat down on a rock, I looked forward and shook my head, it looked as if Jacob and his friends were leaving, I got up and paced.
I closed my eyes and looked into the darkness; I could hardly see anything but the light of the bonfire. I sighed and turned around going to my car.
But just as I unlocked it, something hit my back, making me fall to the ground and I gasped as the air in my chest was knocked out of me, my cheek was cold and pressed against the hard ground.
I felt to rough hands drag me up so that I was standing, I got held against a wall and I felt a fist hit my stomach. I grunted and tried to get away but two people held me back against the wall. My hoodie was choking me as he held onto it so tight, I coughed, trying to breath normally.
"Cullen you better fucking die after I am done with you." I heard Jacob say, I wanted to yell out for Emmett but I couldn't talk because of the punches he hit to my stomach. I felt something being traced across my leg, it was heavy and sharp. I closed my eyes and grunted as it hit my leg, I was about to fall to my knees but I was made stand up.
My face got held back and after about six painful punches to the right side of my face, they through me to the ground, I felt the blood dripping and I coughed feeling nauseous. "Count to four so I know your not brain dead." I heard one of them yell.
I didn't respond and they kicked me in the gut, I got another kick and another, I put my arm around my stomach, trying to protect it. "ONE . . . TWO . . . . THREE, FOUR." I said as loud as I could, I heard them walk off and I got up slowly after several minutes of being on the ground.
I staggered to my car and got in, I didn't put my seatbelt on, I just drove, I drove as fast as the car would allow me, I didn't care about my speed, I made my way into town and felt as if I were to get sick, I looked at myself in the rear-view mirror, blood pouring from my noise and mouth. My eyes swelling and purple.
I felt the need to sleep, so I let my car role to a stop, not even knowing where I was. I rested my head on the steering wheel, and looked down, moving my hands slightly in front of my now blurred vision. I closed my eyes thinking of Bella, I didn't want to die without telling her that I loved her but if this was the end for me, I guess I had a wonderful life. I felt my eyes go heavy and drifted into a sleep.
