If you're reading this and haven't read part one then I suggest you read part one.
If you're not an extreme darkward lover then I suggest you don't read part one.
You guys should be able to catch the drift of this story even if you haven't read part one, part one is really good though.
It was just a dream, I told myself as I tried to stop panting. It felt so...real. I turned on the light and ran to the mirror, I checked my teeth and there were no fangs. I was wearing my same yellow night gown and there was no man or blood anywhere...thank goodness. It's been a months since then and I'm still having weird dreams, I could remember it like it was yesterday.
*FLASHBACK*
The mightly Edward Cullen lying there in defeat and pain. I stared at him one last second with a sinister smile on my face enjoying the moment before I headed for the door.
After I had gotten out of the house away from him I kept running. It's a good thing the area is private and not much cars passes through, people might think I'm a crazy person running around naked. My legs hurt and between them pained me, my thighs were stained with dried blod and my hair was a mess. It made me look like a wild lion and I had dried tear stains on my face and bruises over my body. Finally I was out of the large yard, Edward made a mistake picking a house with a white picket fence.
I jumped over the fence and fell down into the road from the soreness and pain I felt. I heard tires screech to a halt and I looked up, a man stepped out of the car...it was that doctor. The one Edward had threatened to kill if I told. Dr. Richards.
That day my life changed, I was rescued. As I was on the journey to starting my new life, Edward's words kept replaying in my head.
"You can run away Bella but you're carrying my child inside of you, I know it. I'll always be a part of you and I'll always have something that I took from you, something you could never get back Bella"
*END FLASHBACK*
I was now 19 and free to live my life but I'll always fear that he'll find me. After the day I got free I went to visit Mom and Charlie, they were surprised and extremely happy to see me. I caught up on a lot of things and I apologized for not calling or coming to visit for those couple of months. I told them I had left Edward, when they asked why I had left the nice man who had saved our family all I could say was it just didn't work out.
I didn't tell them the truth and I felt so guilty for that, I thought about telling them but I felt the tears start to well in my eyes and I couldn't. I just couldn't go down that road with them, what they don't know can't hurt them. It would break their heart to know what really happened, so I kept it inside.
I hadn't tried to contact Shawn since then, I decided his life was better without me. He didn't need a friend like me, after almost getting him killed the least I could do is sever all contact with him so he and his daughter could be safe...don't need Edward going after him again. I still felt guilty about the pain I caused him, I guess I'll always be carrying it around.
I looked at my clock and it read 6:30am, I decided against going back to sleep but instead to get an early start on today. I had a class for 8:00am so I went into the bathroom and got ready to start my day. By the time I was done washing my hair, showering and brushing my teeth it was 7:15am.
I got dress and was out the door into my car, the drive to the coffee shop took me about ten minutes. I orderd some coffee and scrambled eggs and went through some of my assignments as I ate. After I decided I'd killed enough time it was 7:45am, I grabbed my stuff and headed to school.
I reached through the door exactly 8:00am, when I wasn't going to college I was working. I didn't use any of the money in the account left over from when I was with Edward. I didn't want to use anything that was from him or wanted his help. I wouldn't give him any reasons to hold anything over my head if he somehow survived and showed up.
I have a lot of responsibilities and worries that keep me stressed 24/7, Edward took a year away from me and put my life on hold.
I won't let that happen again, I won't be the weak and meek Bella he once controlled.
Class felt extra long today, I was relieved when it was over.
I went home and called Mom and Charlie, I'd promised them I'd call everyday.
After what felt like a never-ending coversation and my mother interrogating me about school and guys I was able to lie down and relax.
I wasn't focused on men, I even hate when one comes too close to me. The only thing I'm focused on is getting my life on track.
I'm 19 years old and I still sleep with night light on, I'm always looking over my shoulder. How sad is that?
I have a security door and my inner door has about fifty locks on it but I knew if Edward ever came back they wouldn't do any good. How could I ever explain that I'm married to a vampire, who would believe me? I'd be called a nutjob and locked away in a white fluffy room with a straitjacket on. I couldn't stick around to hit him with divorce papers, even if I managed to get a divorce he'd come get me if he wanted to.
One part of me feels he might come back and the other feels he's dead, if he were alive he would've come and found me already.
I looked over at the clock and cursed, I hadn't realized how late it was. I'd booked a session with a therapist and I didn't want to be late on my first visit.
I got up and walked out the door, on the drive there I felt so nervous and my hands wouldn't stop shaking. I'd never really told anyone what happened between Edward and I except Shawn..and he almost got killed...
I arrived there safely without running off the road from nervousness, after waiting a few minutes I heard the receptionist say 'Ms. Johnson will see you now' in a cherry voice while pointing to a door.
Will, here goes nothing. I got up and slowly walked to the room I was directed to and opened the door.
Sorry for the short chapter, they'll get longer.
Everything will become clearer as we go along.
Can anyone who hasn't read the prequel tell me what happened to Bella? I like to hear people's guesses :P
Want more...REVIEW! :D
