Chapter 2.

Charlie POV

Yawning, I stretched to open the top cupboard. I reached for a small white plate and placed it gently on the counter, ready for the toast popped up from the toaster. I whistled quietly to myself as I buttered and halved the crispy, toast bread. I sat at the table to eat while I read the newspaper with one hand, and holding a piece of toast in the other.

"Thank god." I sighed as I read the front page; a dog had rescued a little boy from drowning apparently he had swam out a bit too far. I reached for the other half of my toast when something on the front page caught my eye. "What?" I gasped, spitting crumbs over the table; someone was giving fishing equipment 'free to a good home'. I practically ran across the room, yanked the receiver off the wall and began dialling the number that was on the front page.

"Hello?" a voice said on the other end of the line, after the first ring. "Who is it?" The voice was delicate, and was obviously a woman, she sounded as though she was worried about something. "Hello, I'm calling about the ad in the paper about free fishing equipment?" I asked, the woman gave a sigh of relief and said,

"Oh, that's okay then," she laughed, obviously relieved. "Would you like the whole set? Or is there a particular piece you want?" I looked again at the ad in the paper and saw a picture next to it showing the while of the set, it was an amazing collection of hook, feathers, spinners, and of course it contained a 6ft fishing rod with a golden reel. "Wow!" I choked, I'd forgotten completely that I was still holding the phone until the women spoke again, distracting me from the picture, "I'll have the whole set, please." I said calmly looking back at the picture. "When would you like me to pick it up?" I asked.

Five minutes later I walked out of the house, and was driving to go and get the equipment, so that I could take it fishing straight away. Arriving at the women's house, I knocked onto the door. Two seconds later a woman in her early thirties answered, she was looked very pretty in her white blouse, most of her flaming red hair was neatly tied up in a bun, yet small amounts hung in twirls around the side of her face. Her eyes were as though clouded by grey, yet outlined greatly by mascara; she had full, plumped lips, which looked smooth to the touch. She wore tight black jeans with a thick, leather, black belt going around her small waist. She looked wild yet her eyes seemed to be calm; she was breath takingly beautiful.

"Hey, you must be Charlie?" she smiled holding out her hand which I shook almost at once, her skin was smoother than I thought possible. I nodded politely and returned the smile. "Won't you come in? I could make a cup of tea? Or coffee maybe?" She gestured inside with her hand. "Thank you. It was Julie, right?" I asked as I walked over the threshold into her house, which was quite cool, compared to the boiling heat outside. Everything was neatly arranged and by the look of it she lived alone and has done for quiet sometime.

"Yep, your right." She giggled as she showed me the way to the kitchen. " Please excuse the boxes, I've just started sorting things out." Julie began to make the tea and then placed several biscuits onto a plate. "Sugar?"

"No thanks," I answered still looking around, the kitchen was filled with boxes stacked on top of each other, some open and their contents revealed, they were filled with kitchen equipment. "So, have you lived here long?" I asked in a curious voice,

"Not really, moved in about a month ago. I've been working so much that I haven't been able to spent time unpacking everything." Julie smiled and handed a mug of steaming hot tea.

"What do you think of Folks so far, then?" I sipped my tea, which burned my tongue but was very delicious. "It's a lovely day today, at least."

"I really like it here," she replied, showing her dazzlingly white teeth as she smiled, "I find the rain relaxing, but I do enjoy the sun being out." Laughing she added, " I do hope I could stay here." Her smile faded slightly as she looked at me, her eyes showed deep sorrow in them. "It would be a amazing if I could stay here awhile."

"Stay then," I laughed, "you get used to the rain, but it's kind of hard to live somewhere like here if you don't enjoy it." We smiled at each other; her eyes stared deeply into mine as though trying to read my thoughts. I had to admit, she was very pretty yet there was something different about her, but it only made me more curious.

"Bella?" I shouted up the stairs, "Bella, I'm home!" No answer. Maybe she's asleep. I walked into the kitchen and put the kettle on and strolled into the living room. Halfway towards the TV, I heard the kettle go off so I quickly turned it off, and made some tea. I placed the cup down on the table and frowned, as steam began to rise off the cup. I could see the toast crumbs from this morning still on the table, and the newspaper still on the side.

"Bella?" I yelled once again, she would have noticed the mess and cleaned up, but she hadn't. "Bella?" I panicked and ran up the stairs two at a time, yelling at the top of my voice. I knocked rapidly on her door before pushing it open only to find an empty room, and an open window.

"Bella?" I whispered as I sank to my knees, tears swelling in my eyes, my breath quickening as fear grabbed hold of me, "Bells?" I hissed clutching at my heart, 'where was she?' I held the handle of the door tightly as I tried to get up again, but it seemed impossible. I glanced around; her mobile was still here, on her desk beside her computer. Then it struck me, she was with him. I gripped the door handle until my knuckles were bright white and practically launched myself at her phone. Teeth gritted, I quickly unlocked her phone and found Edwards number, I pressed call and waited while it rang…

Please let me know what you think and I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. ^^
