Bella looked in the mirror. A pair of grey sweats and a big sweater, under it she wore a white beater. She climbed into the bed again and laid down; she curled into a small ball she was drifting into a sleep when the door swung open. Edward walked into his room closing the door. He looked at Bella's back and shook his head, walking to his closet he pulled out a pair of sweats and a sweatshirt. He lifted the t-shirt off his body.
Bella sat up watching him.
His pale muscles moved as he ball up the shirt throwing it to the side. He unbuckled his jeans as she cleared her throat. He turned and grimaced at her, "What?" He asked slightly pissed.
"Do you mind?" Bella said looking at his half-naked body.
"It is my room you know." Edward growled.
"Yea but," Bella stretched out on the bed "It's mine for right now."
Edward growled and was by the bed faster then a blink of an eye. He wrapped his stone hands around her wrist and pulled her off the bed.
"Ow." She looked at him while she tried to break out of his grasp.
"Just get out of my life do you understand? Get out of it." Edward shook her staring her in the eyes. She stared at him and growled she brought her knee up to his crotch and he nearly broke her wrist.
He let go of her hands and walked to his closet pulling out gym shoes. He returned to unbuckling his jeans when her hands delicately tickled his back with her nails. He turned to her growling but some thing was just softer about her.
Bella's eyes were shining with tears as he walked into his closet to get his gym shoes. He looked just like Caleb without a shirt on. He looked at her with confusion.
"What are you doing?" Edward hissed as her nails went over his chest. She just looked at her his chest as her hands trailed it. She shook her head tears building; her hands moved down his sides then back up again.
"Miley." Edward hissed.
She ignored him her fingernails tracing over every curve and dip in his body. She hated god for showing Edward to her, the constant memory of Caleb would forever be burned into her mind.
"So Cowgirl what do you want to do now?" Caleb stood at the foot of her bed with his shirt off.
"I don't know." She said standing putting on her shirts fixing her hair.
"You know lets go to the beach?" Caleb slipped next to her.
"It's like ten o' clock at night." Bella giggled.
"So? We can make sandcastles." He nuzzled her neck causing her to laugh.
"Is this my birthday present?" Bella giggled looking at him.
"No, this is." Caleb held out a small bracelet. "It was a my mother's"
Tears slipped down her cheeks as he grabbed her shoulders. He shook her "Isabella?"
"Oh, I'm sorry." Bella said removing her hands backing away.
"Why are you crying?" Edward's face was mixture of curiosity and guilt.
"You hit me your car idiot, I'm bound to have some side effects." Bella said rubbing her cheeks.
"That makes no sense." Edward raises his eyebrows taking a step towards her.
"Why do you care? Rule two is still in effect isn't it?" Bella backed away.
"I…." Edward looked at her and sighed. "What ever." He pulled off his pants.
Bella sat on his bed covering her mouth trying to silence this emotional wave tumbling through her. She was Bella Swan she did not cry over a man. Caleb was gone why couldn't she just accept that there is nothing she could do to bring him back.
Her eyes danced to Edward who was pulling on his sweats. Why did he have to remind her so much of Caleb?
She took a deep breath as Edward pulled his sweatshirt over his body. He walked in front of her and crossed his arms.
"What?" Bella said looking at him with distaste.
"I don't really like you. But want to go for a run?" Edward said looking down at her.
"Run?" She brought her hands to her lap.
"My brothers and I are just going to go a for a jog around the forest. I'm sure if you go my sisters will tag a long and you all can talk about what ever female thing is bothering you."
Bella let out a laugh.
"What?" He hissed.
"That was the longest sentence you ever said to me." Bella looked up at him as his eyes widened and then rolled.
"Shut up." He growled leaving her behind. She looked down at her sneakers by the bed and quickly pulled them on. She ran after him as he walked down the stairs Emmett was standing there in black jogger and a yellow sweater. His smile widened when he saw Bella.
"Can you run fast?" He joked looking down at her very small frame.
"Probably faster then you, then again with that fat head of yours to weigh you down, I think even a five year old could." Bella crossed her arms at a shocked Emmett.
"Oh that was priceless." Jasper said laughing patting Emmett's shoulder before extending his hand to Bella.
"Jasper Cullen," he patted Emmett's shoulder. "This is Emmett Cullen."
Bella took his cold stone hand and looked back at Edward. "Nice to know not every one is as bitchy."
"They don't know you yet." Edward growled back.
"Bella you're going to go running?" Alice flounced down the stairs walking up to her.
"Uhh…"
"Edward invited you?" Alice was jumping up and down.
"Uhh.."
"Come with me!" Alice tugged Bella by the arm and up the stairs, Bella stumbled most of the way.
"We leave in five minutes!" Emmett boomed after them.
"OKAY!" Alice screamed back as she threw Bella into her room where Rosalie stood.
"Alice?" She raised her eyebrows looking at Bella.
"Bella is going running with the guys."
"Really?" Rosalie said walking towards her.
"Yea?" Bella said looking at both of them.
"Edward invited her along." Alice said walking into her closet emerging minutes later with a green jogging suit.
"Whoa." Rosalie smiled. "I'm suddenly in the mood for a jog as well!" Rosalie jumped up and down.
Bella walked into the forest with them, as Rosalie and Alice were next to her the three boys ahead of them. "Can you run fast Bella?" Alice asked looking at her.
"Yea, I guess I got a lot of practice in Arizona." Bella said smiling looking down.
"Really?" Rose asked confused.
"Yea my boyfriend Caleb and I did it all the time." Bella smiled then frowned.
"Boyfriend?" Rosalie's voice hitched.
"He umm…broke up with me." Bella lied.
"Oh that sucks." Alice frowned.
"Yes it does."
"Do you like my brother?" Alice blurted.
"Alice!" Rosalie hissed.
"What?" Bella sighed.
"We are at the starting line!" Emmett called getting their attention.
Bella watched the boys laugh.
Jasper turned his attention to Edward as the girls walked slowly towards them. "Why did you invite her, I don't mind, but why?"
Edward shrugged.
"Now I got to hold back my awesome speed." Emmett said flexing.
"Oh shut up." Rosalie giggled coming up behind him. She planted a kiss on his lips, Bella looked at Alice strangely.
"Aren't you guys related?"
"Adopted." Alice corrected.
"Oh…" Bella looked away and just shook her head. They were in the middle of the forest and truth be told she did not know where she was. She looked around her and all she saw were trees.
"I'll race you." Emmett looked at Bella cracking his knuckles.
"Okay?" Bella whispered.
"You're racing a loosing battle."
"Shut up." Bella whispered as they took off.
"Where we going?" she looked at Emmett as he ran.
"Through the trees." Emmett laughed.
They sat in the small clearing breathing heavily. Emmett was lying on the grass with Rose curled on his chest.
Jasper had Alice on his back and he was swinging her in a circle. She was giggling helplessly as Bella watched. She looked down at her sneakers and brought her knees to her chest.
"Oh yall the ones making all that noise." A man stood at the brink of the clearing with his friends. There was about seven of them.
"Sorry." Jasper laughed. "Did we disturb your hunting?" Jasper said feeling their angry vibe.
Edward stood automatically and pulled Bella to her feet. "Ow what are you doing?"
"Shut up." Edward growled.
"Naw yall didn't disturb nothing." The leader spoke. He was tall with white skin. He had a beard growing around his face. He held a rifle and was wearing a pair of overalls.
Edward walked forward grabbing Alice from behind Jasper and pushed her next Bella before he motioned Rosalie to join.
"So what can we do for you?" Emmett said standing walking forward.
"Get on your knees." The man pulled his rifle up looking at the girls.
"Oh shit." Bella whispered.
Emmett growled walking forward but the rest of the men brought up their rifles as well. He froze looking at Edward then to Bella.
We cannot do shit in front of her.
Edward nodded looking at the girls. He frowned and looked forward as the men holding the rifles stared at him.
"Stand down boy." The man growled cocking the rifle.
Edward backed out of the way looking down. The men laughed as the leader walked cautiously forward. Edward picked his fist up and hit him in the face.
The men picked up their rifles and started shooting. Emmett dodge a bullet grabbing Rosalie running. Jasper followed in action as they ran into the forest, Edward grabbed Bella's arm dragging her forward. They ran into the brush of the forest as Edward heard the footsteps racing toward them.
"We need to spilt up." Jasper said quickly.
"What?" Rose looked at him, "No."
"Yes, it's a war tactic if we spilt they have to as well and we can escape easily."
"Thank god you were never in a war." Bella whispered.
"What?" Jasper raised his eyebrow.
"Nothing." Bella said looking back and yanking her arm from Edward's grasp.
"Do you not agree Bella?" Jasper spoke softly as if scared to hurt her.
"I agree, that plan works for you guys." Bella whispered.
"What and you're special?" Edward mocked.
"I travel better by myself." She seethed staring him the eye.
"Oh yea because you can handle your own against seven men and seven rifles.
"I've faced worst." Bella growled.
"Like what?" Edward seethed.
"You." She shot back.
"God damnit! Kiss already!" Emmett said tugging at his hair causing both of them to look at him in anger.
"Okay! We got to get out of here now!" Jasper whispered.
"Just spilt up." Edward growled as the rifle shot hit a tree near them.
Alice jumped and took off with Jasper on her tail. Rosalie grabbed Emmett's hand heading in another direction. Edward turned to Bella but she was not there. He looked around as a shot fire again coming closer to him. He sighed looking for Bella and took his best guess. Heading in that direction.
Bella ran fast through the trees not knowing where she was going. She stumbled on a rock as she moved faster hearing footsteps behind her. She ducked behind a bush, two men passed by holding a rifle.
"I swear I seen one come this way." He said pointing his rifle around the area.
Bella looked at a near by bunny as it hopped toward the bush.
"Hey look Joe a rabbit, why don't we just take that back to Noel."
"Shut up boy." The man looked at the rabbit and stepped closer to the bush. Bella held her breath.
"Stop!" the older man yelled pointing his rifle.
Bella and the other boy followed his aim at Edward who stood there staring at them. The younger boy brought his rifle up and pointed it at the same target.
Edward ran forward jumping on the older man as he pulled the trigger but he dropped the rifle as it fired off.
Bella screamed in pain as the younger boy moved the bush aside looking at Bella holding her leg.
"I found her Joe!"
Edward growled as he jumped on the younger boys back taking him down. "Run!" Edward screamed at her.
Bella got up shakily as she stood. Edward froze as he saw her with blood pouring out her thigh. She limped forward crying in pain.
She continued to run as fast as she could, which was not very fast at all.
However, she got far enough the scuffle was far behind her. She leaned against the tree as tears flew off her face. She fell to the floor as she heard footsteps, she quietly crawled into the bushes looking around she continued to crawl until she felt some one grab her shoulders she let out a scream before the cold hand clamped over her mouth.
"Don't do that." Edward whispered in her ear.
He pulled her up to her feet as her left thigh oozed blood she looked away putting her weight on her right foot. Edward sighed as he picked her up bring her to his chest she looked up at him as he looked around the area.
"Okay the gun shot warned the others so we have to move fast because we just attracted them."
"What about the other two." Bella said motioning to behind them.
Edward swirled his tongue around his mouth tasting their blood on his teeth.
"We don't have to worry about them."
He carried her far until he came into a crowed area of trees and bushes. He sat down with her looking at her thigh. "It's not that bad." Edward told her looking at her.
"Oh, well let me shoot you in the fucking leg and tell you that it's not that bad!" Bella seethed looking at him grabbing dirt as it throbbed.
"Does it hurt?" Edward smirked,
"No shit you fucking idiot." Bella grinded her teeth.
Edward chuckled, it was short lived when Bella picked up her foot and kicked him the chest. He smiled as he took off his sweater; he wrapped it around her thigh his hand accidentally brushing against her core. She growled at him as he laughed, he watched as her blood soaked through the sweater. His throat went on fire he looked at Bella as closed her eyes.
He leaned forward toward her face, her eyes opened studying him. He was close their lips inches from each other. He leaned down slowly her breathing picked up slightly. A gunshot startled them apart.
"Come here." He whispered picking her up again. The shirt less Edward picked her up as they walked carefully through the forest.
His footsteps cracked the twigs as he walked forward. Bella whimpered against his chest in pain.
"You'll be in the hospital soon." Edward whispered in her ear.
"Caleb?" She whispered.
"Who?" Edward looked at her suddenly freezing.
Then they heard the gun shot again. Bella screamed as it the tree by them.
"There they are!" The guys called as they ran through the trees.
Edward looked down at Bella, "Close your eyes and don't open them." Edward set her the ground. Bella groaned as she held her thigh. She closed her eyes tightly, there was some yelling a few gunshots then silence. She opened her eyes and saw Edward kneeling besides the men. He turned as looked her seething blood apparent on his lips.
That was the last thing she saw before she passed out.
"Bella…" A hand touched her shoulder. She turned her head to the side, she heard beeping distant beeping. Bella opened her eyes and saw Edward in the far corner of the room. Looking up she saw Charlie shaking her gently.
"What happened?" She whispered.
"You got shot in the thigh by a couple of bad men." Charlie said shaking his head.
"Where am I?" she whispered.
"Hospital." Charlie frowned. "You told me you were going to be with Stephanie and Karina." Charlie looked back frowning at Edward.
"Hey I brought her to the damn hospital." Edward growled.
"You did?" Bella said looking at him. "Your rules…"
"Rule six: When you're bleeding all rules are off." Edward got up looking at Charlie.
"Get out." Charlie growled.
"No." Bella whispered causing both men to look at her.
"What?" Charlie said looking at her.
"Let me talk to him." Bella said looking at her father.
Charlie growled but Bella ignored him. "Leave or I tell you about the time I lost my virginity."
Charlie turned away growling, "I'll be right outside." he finished by slamming the hospital door.
"What did you want?" Edward whispered standing over her.
"Thank you." She whispered.
"I don't really care." Edward shrugged.
"Do you just hate anything emotional?" She sighed looking at him.
"Yes." Edward growled.
"Then…. "Bella paused thinking, "Leave…" Bella turned over on her side her thigh hurting.
"What?" Edward said standing straight up.
"Leave Edward." She sighed thinking about her luck; she just was shot and hit by a car in the same day.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Edward whispered.
She sat up growling. "You want to play enemies like I got nothing better to do. I do not need the annoyance you bring to my life or the memories. So just got away Edward Cullen. You got what you wanted now just leave."
"Oh…" Edward stood up straighter. "Fuck you…," he growled walking to the door. He turned around once more "I won't bother bringing you to the hospital next time." He pulled it opened and turned around one last time but she just looked away.
He left the room and the hospital.
Edward traveled down the street wearing a shirt Emmett brought him from home. He stopped off at a diner and sat down on a barstool. He thought about why Bella telling him to leave bothered him, but he shook it away from his brain.
"Hey." The female's voice was soft.
"Hey." Edward raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman.
"My name is Karina." She offered her hand.
"Nice name." Edward nodded turning away again until her hand lay on his lap.
"I've heard about you." She whispered.
"What?" He asked eyeing her.
"A friend of mine, and I'm visiting and I would love to have a male show me the ropes." She pouted her lips.
"Well, why don't I just show you my rope?" Edward chuckled placing his lips on hers.
