It had been three days since she had collided with him and she hadn't seen him once. Frustrated she walked to her class weaving her way through people and going around groups of students that found it necessary to stand in the middle of the hallway.
Before she made it to her class she felt to arms wrap around her and lay one hand on her stomach. She froze as the terror ripped through her body and the flashback came. The breath on the back of her neck seemed to get hotter and hotter and she panicked but couldn't move.
She shut the door quietly behind her as she tried to make it to her room without I'm hearing her. Hopefully he was passed out in a drunken stupor on the couch like usual. She sighed as she made it halfway up the stairs thinking she was safe for the night. The arm that wrapped around her made her freeze mid step as she felt the panic rise to her stomach.
"Trying to be sneaky huh?" He laughed and she could smell the stomach turning smell of beer on his breath. A hand grabbed her stomach and caused her to flinch in pain as his nails dug into her skin.
"What were you not going to say good night to me Isabella?" She felt his hot breath on the back of her neck and it made he stomach turn. "That's very mean of you." He said before he jerked her back and flung her backwards down the steps, she landed in a painful position at the bottom. Her head had hot the oak railing on her way down and she could already feel the warm flow of blood that made her hair stick to her head.
Desperately she tried to crawl away from him but it didn't matter he was already over top of her pressing a foot into her back which caused her face to push uncomfortably hard against the floor. He laughed again before saying, "Clean yourself up before your mother get's home."
She jerked violently until she felt the arms release her and she ran to the doors that led outside. The familiar feeling of a panic attack hit her and she slid to the ground when her back hit the brick wall of the school. Her breath came out in shallow pants and then she began to gasp for air. Her body shook and she heard the faint sound of the doors open and close but she didn't care. A pair of black shoes entered her sight but she couldn't place them.
The person had crouched in front of her and she heard a deep voice. "Hey it's ok. He's not here. Your safe." She relaxed a little before her breaths started to even out but her body continued to shake.
"Are you good now?"
"Why did you say what you said?" He scrunched his forehead and looked confused. "When you told me that I was safe and all that. How did you know?"
"Lucky guess." He was looking at the ground and then his eyes flashed to hers and he smiled. "You look like you could use an escape plan."
"Yeah. After running out of the school like a freak all I want to do right now is crawl into a ball and hide." She said as she felt a deep blush cover her face and make its way down her neck.
"I have a better idea." He said grabbing her hand and hopping up. Dragging her behind him they made their way to the parking lot. She dug her feet into the ground to try to stop.
"You know we would get to my car faster if you wouldn't do that."
"I cant just go with you. I don't even know you or where or why your taking me."
"Hi my name is Edward. Its a surprise and to show you the right way to have fun in Forks. Two out of three isn't bad now come on."
"You know your curious now. Just come on I promise Im not going to murder or rape you if that makes you feel any better."
"So much you don't even know."
"Your sarcasm is a bit hurtful and highly unnecessary."
"Your kidnapping is a little weird and extremely random."
"Duly noted now get in my damn car." He paused for a second. "Come on Swan don't you want to have some kind of fun in this hell hole that they call Forks?" A few seconds later they were in his car. Why? She had no idea.
He started the car as she buckled her seat belt and then looked over at her as she looked out the windshield at the school.
"Are you ready for an adventure Bella?" And for the first time in a while she didn't over think her answer or even hesitate for a minute.
"Yes."
