2. How Did This Happen?

BPOV

As I drove, I couldn't help but let my mind wander. Before I knew it, I had driven all the way to Port Angeles. After deciding to park and take a walk, I found myself getting an eerie sense of deja vu. Why? Because I was alone in Port Angeles, at night, and didn't really know where I was going. All that was missing wa-

"Hey, sugar, what are you doing out her all by yourself?",a slurred voice asked me. I turned to see five guys headed towards me.

Okay, now I realize why this all felt so familiar.

Quickly deciding to just walk away, I continue down the sidewalk, realizing my mistake a bit too late. As I contemplate what to do next, a hand suddenly grabs my shoulder, and spins me around. Faster than I can blink the guy backhands me.

"I was talking to you! I don't like to be ignored, sugar.", that same slurred voice said, an annoyed expression on his face. My cheek burns and I notice that the last time this happened, it didn't get this far.

"C'mon Josh", another guy says, "We're waiting for our turn, too."

Josh waves him off whilst openly appraising me in a manner that made me cringe and take a step back. Apparently, that was the wrong thing to do. Josh suddenly tightens his grip, and clamps his hand over my mouth. Once I feel myself being dragged, I finally come out of my stupor and try to wiggle out of Josh's grasp. I try in vain to ignore the voice in my head saying, Oh sure, now you fight.

But fight as I may, it's no use. Josh soon throws me up against an alley wall, and he and his friends most definitely get their turns. Backhands, punches and slaps included when I tried to fight. So, I stopped doing just that.

I had realized very early on that Edward nor anyone else was coming to save me this time.

Edward.

Ugh! Will this never end? I just couldn't understand. Why is Bella's obsession with that dog so strong? It seems that no matter what conversation we have the subject just comes up. Doesn't she understand? I just have to keep her safe. I need to. But she doesn't make that any easier by constantly wanting to go down to that damn reservation to see Jacob. Ugh! I just don't get it.

Since it is very obvious that Bella doesn't want to see me, and Alice will warn me if she decides to head for La Push after all, I decide to go for a run and a quick hunt before she gets back to clear my head.

Throughout that time though, I get a constant bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. Before I can determine what that means, my cellphone rings

I answer it, and immediately, I am bombarded with sobbing.

"Edward I am so sorry. For some reason, I didn't see it until it was too late! I-

"Slow down Alice, what didn't you see?", I ask my sister, though I am sure that I do not want an answer.

As Alice explains her vision, a barrage of emotions run through me. Rage... fear...worry...and as always...a staggering amount of guilt.

When I've heard enough, I interrupt Alice and her frantic rambling.

"Alice just tell me where she is".

Sniffling, then, "P-Port Angeles. Carlisle, Rose, and Esme are already on their way the-

I didn't have time for that; of course I knew my family wouldn't just sit around and not help me. But all I knew was that I needed to get to her myself. Sprinting through the forest, I try fruitlessly to think as hard as I can, I'm coming love, just hold on, in hope that she will hear me and know that I am on my way.

Aside from that, only one other thought dominates my mind.

How did this happen? More importantly...how did I let it?
