Disclaimer: I own only the plot... Everything else is Stephanie Meyer!
AN- Okayy so I'm soo ecstatic that people besides my wonderful nightchildx who is my sista from anotha motha (hahaha) are reviewing!! Yay! haha so im positive your not reading this to hear me, but that your reading this to read my story so...
Enjoy...
I heard... fighting. It was so loud that I felt like my ears were gonna burst!! My ears started pounding and I mean pounding. I tried to cover my ears but I was frozen in the dark. I had to get out of this dark... the raucous will stop if I leave the darkness.
A groan slipped from my mouth... At least I think it was a groan... anyways once the groan slipped from my mouth everything went deadly quiet. Yes!!
But even though the noise stopped, I feared it would start back up again so I knew I had to leave the wonderful dark. Darn. But, then again, when does anything go my way?
My eyelids all of a sudden felt a lot lighter than they were, and I felt that with a little effort, I could open my eyes. I slowly but surely opened my eyes and saw... A ceiling?
I slowly managed to turn my head to the right and my eyes met Emmetts. His face lit up when he saw me awaken from the dead... haha... but, he kept his mouth tightly shut. I knew he wanted to say something, something probally stupid knowing Emmett, and I could tell it took everything he had not to say it.
Next to Emmett was Rosalie. She gave me a brief smile, and her eyes looked at something behind me. Hmm.. odd.
Next was Jasper. He smiled at me and sent me waves of happiness. haha I suddenly felt really happy. but when I looked at Alice, my happiness faded away. Yes, she was smiling, but she wasn't looking at me. She, like Rosalie, was looking behind me.
They all were.
I slowly turned my head to the left and was face to face with Edward.
Why was everyone staring at him? was he hiding something? Huh? I hate it when I'm confused... Hmm... I felt like I should slap him but I had no idea why. Odd... again.
I sat up and everyone who was behind the couch moved so that they were behind edward. They were looking back and forth form me to him.
"Edward." I said. I meant to say it normally, but when I said it... it sounded almost loving.
Edward smiled at me and said in the same loving tone "Bella, love."
I heard Alice gasp and I looked up. Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett all had their jaws hanging down and their eyes were wide... with shock?
Why is everyone so shocked? Then everything clicked.
The darkness, The loud fighting, Me wanting to slap Edward, Wondering why I used a loving tone, The shocked expressions....
The darkness.
Edward.
The darkness.
Edward. Edward. darkness.
He. did. this. to me. everything that happened before I was sent to the darkness came flooding back to me as a look of realization crossed my face. Tears were brimming in my eyes as I thought of him betraying me. He's hurt me five times... and the wedding is in 2 days.
Okay, So right now im a bomb, about to be set off. When I explode... Well... A few cuss words may slip from my mouth when I explode and throw all my anger and hatred on him. I will explode in...
...5...
The same question that I have been thinking about came to me.
Can I forgive him?
Can I?
Will I be able to move on like nothing's happened?
Will I be able to look at him, completely in love, and say "I love you."?
Will things return to normal?
...No. No. NO!! How dare he!!! how could he... to me? And.. and... how can I love him like I did before?? Ever since we became engaged... our love went downhill. And now? now... He's broken the last piece of my love for him.
...4...
"Bella love?" Edward said. "I'm terribly sorry for what I have done. But our wedding is in 2 days and we must get married. You need to forgive me so we can move on like nothing happened."
...3...
Move on like nothing has happened??? NO.
...2...
He slowly leaned in to kiss me. No. No. He has destroyed our love and he thinks he can dazzle me with his beautiful eyes? Or, or seduce me with one of his thrilling kisses? NO! How dare he!
...1...
When he was about three, maybe four, inches away form my face, he closed his eyes. Now was my chance. I stayed 100% still as I raised my right hand behind my head. When he moved another inch closer I swiftly swung my hand down, and with all my strength I slammed my hand down to his face and hit it right on. He wasn't expecting this so he staggered backwards when I made purchase with his cheek, and he held his cheek in the palm of his hand.
He looked at me, then, with shock, confusion, and anger written all over his face. "Bella?...Love?" He said, confused.
...0...
Boom! I exploded. I can't say I feel sorry for him though. He deserves it.
"HOW DARE YOU CALL ME LOVE?! DID YOU SMASH YOUR LITTLE HEAD ON THE SIDE OF A CONCRETE WALL AND FORGET WHAT YOU DID TO ME?!?!" I screamed at him, sounding every bit as cruel and cold as I had wanted to sound.
But... I wasn't finished...
"AND YOU THINK DAZZLING ME OR.. OR KISSING ME IS GOING TO CHANGE THE FACT THAT YOU TRIED TO KILL ME?! YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT LIE TO ME, BREAK PROMISES, YELL AT ME, FIGHT WITH ME, AND HURT ME SINCE WE'VE BEEN EANGAGED!! THIS IS UNFORGIVABLE EDWARD!!! IT FRICKING UNFORGIVABLE!!!!!" I screamed, hatred filling my eyes, hands clenched.
"I... I... ICANTMARRYYOUINTWODAYSEDWARD!!! ICANTMARRYYOUANDMOVEONLIKENOTHINGHAPPENED!!" I ended up screaming everything I was feeling extremely fast. But I knew he heard me.
"UN..FOR..GI..GIV...ABLE!" I repeated as I burst into tears.
Everything I was feeling was overwhelming me, which is why I'm curled up on the floor bawling my eyes out. But at least I had gotten everything off of my chest and didn't hold anything back.
I felt Alice's tiny arms lift me up and she held me in her arms as I turned my head into her shoulder and proceeded to soak her designer's shirt.
Slowly, my sobbing came to a stop. When my waterworks were over, I climbed out of Alice's embrace and looked around me. Emmett was standing nearby me, like he was protecting me and Rosalie was standing next to Alice. Jasper was leaning against the wall closest to me, sending me waves of calm. I gave him a sharp look, letting him know that I wanted to feel my own feelings. He gave me an apologetic smile and stopped.
Edward was standing about five feet away from me. Just staring at me. He actually looked scary. His eyes were black and cold, also filled with hatred. His hands were clenched tightly by his side. His knees were a little bent as if he was about to attack his prey... I'm the prey. His jaw was set.
I glanced at the door then back at him. His eyes looked at the door to, then back at me. A smirk appeared on his face but disappeared as suddenly as it came.
"Um, can me and Bella have some privacy, please? I need to...... beg... forgiveness." Edward said, sorrow and regret in his voice.
Since I caught the smirk on his face, I knew something was up. "Go on. I will be fine. Trust me." I said to Alice, using a fake pleading tone. But I made sure my feelings were also pleading so Jasper wouldn't detect anything.
Alice debated for a minute and then reluctantly agreed. within seconds everyone left and went upstairs. I moved swiftly to the couch and sat down in the spot Rosalie had occupied a few seconds ago.
I watched Edward with suspicion as he paced back and forth, 6 feet away from me. suddenly he stopped, faced me, and swiftly ran up to me and kneeled down so that he was 3 inches away from me. It happened so fast that I gasped and cringed away from him.
He stared me down with cold, menacing eyes like I was a child. Rude much!
"You know, staring at me isn't going to change anything. And if you want to stare at me that badly, I suggest you take a picture. They last longer." I said coldly.
"We can't be seperated. You will see soon enough. Soon enough you will come back to me, begging for me to take you back in. I will accept because we have to be together... forever. You have already promised to be with me forever for eternity. The proof is on your left hand, on your ring finger. It's too late to back down now, Love." He replied cruely. The way he said "forever" and "love" was not in a loving tone at all. Every word was filled with hate. So I made sure my next words were filled with hate as well.
"Well, Honey," I snarled. "You haven't been able to keep ANY of your promises so I see no reason to keep mine. I'm done with this pain you keep causing me. It's over Edward. The wedding is off." I said as I started to pull the ring off of my finger.
Edward crushed my hand in his, to prevent me from taking off the ring. "What did you say?" He snarled.
I sighed. Is he really as deaf as he acts? "I said, the wedding is off!"
He growled and let go of my hand, placing his hands on the couch. "NO! I WON'T LET YOU GO!!" He yelled tightening his grip on the couch.
"WELL I HAVE ALREADY LET YOU GO SO YOU HAVE. NO. CHOICE!!!" I screamed back. I have to get out of here. I have to run away, from Charlie, from Edward, from the Cullens, from it all.
I am in desperate need of some time alone.
Edward tightened his grip on the couch even more and said "You will be mine, No, you are mine! And we will wed in two days. End. Of. Story. and DO NOT think about leaving this HOUSE!! you will stay here until the day of our wedding. You WILL marry me without complaint or I. WILL.... KILL YOU!!!" He put his hands under the couch and smiled a twisted grin... and his eyes... they weren't cold, or cruel they were... insane.
He's going to kill me? If I leave? How.. W-why?? Oh god, here come the waterworks. "W..w...wha..t..?!" I said through my sobs. He wouldn't, couldn't!! Could he? No.... no no no!
"You heard me.... Love." He said as he threw his back and laughed. At me. He was laughing at me! HE'S GONE INSANE!!! "Don't cry love... I have given you everything... the least you can do is marry me and that IS what you are gonna do." He sneered.
"WHAT I WANT IS FOR YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE!!! THAT'S ALL I WANT!!!" I screamed at him. My sobs were drying up as my sadness was replaced once again with anger and hate. Absolute hate.
"No." he said giving me another twisted smile. Before I could reply or do anything he flipped over the couch, with me still on it. All I could do was gasp as I came face-to-face with the wonderful wooden floor. I tried to move but I was stuck because the couch landed on top of me, knocking the air out of me. Perfect. At least I wasn't hurt. I heard Edward laugh and then heard someone, hopefully Edward, being slammed against a wall.
Within 10 seconds, the couch was lifted off of me and put back into it's normal position. Rosalie helped me up. Shocker. I looked at the wall infront of me and saw Edward pinned against the wall by both Jasper and Emmett. Edward was still laughing like an insane person. Alice's eye's raked over my body, checking for broken body parts and bruises/cuts. Luckily, I had none.
"What the hell is wrong with Edward?" Rosalie asked with a confused expression.
"He's gone unstable. I have been watching his future for a while and a vision I saw of him was of him being completely insane and unstable. I'm guessing that is the vision that will come true. When I say he's unstable I mean, nothing will stop his madness, Nothing will return him to his normal dramaqueen state. He's... A goner." Alice answered.
"Alice, get Carlisle, and have him sedate Edward. If he's unstable like you say he is, knocking him out is the only thing that will stop him long enough for us to lock him up or something to that degree." Jasper said
"Okay Jazz." Alice said "Bella, I understand if you want to leave... everyone, even Charlie. But don't worry, I will take care of cancelling the wedding and I will come up with something believable for Charlie." She smiled as I gave her a confused look and she tapped lightly on her head. "I saw what you were gonna do." She said before running upstairs.
"I promise that we will keep Edward locked up, so he can't harm you anymore. Go on." Rosalie said tenderly.
I nodded and told Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie that I loved them all before I turned and literally ran out the front door.
I realized though that I didn't have my car, but before I could turn around to ask Rosalie to take me home, Alice was by my side. "I will take you." She said as she tugged me to her car.
She quickly revved the engine and within seconds we were speeding to my house.
She pulled into my driveway minutes later and I was relieved to see Charlie's cruiser gone. She told me that she was going to stay my house and wait for Charlie. I nodded and went upstairs to pack the things I needed. When I got back downstais, Alice was gone. I put my things down and looked around. She wasn't there. Huh?
"Alice?" I called out.
No answer.
I walked over to the couch where she was sitting and saw a piece of paper lying on the couch. I picked it up, and It read:
Bella,
I forgot something that I want to give you so I went to go get it. Don't you dare think about leaving because I will find you.
Don't worry, Charlie wont be home for another 3 hours. So just sit tight and give me exactly 5 minutes okay?
Love,
Alice
Ugh. I bet it's clothes. But I'd rather not get in trouble by Alice for leaving so I sat down on the couch and waited.
Five minutes later...
"Bella!!" Alice's cheerful voice rang out from outside. "Come here! I have your present!!!"
"Coming!" I yelled back.
I quickly grabbed my stuff and opened the front door.
I looked up and.... Oh...My...God! My stuff fell from my hands as my jaw dropped to the ground.
"Alice! I... I can't take this!" I said.
"Sure you can!!" She said happily. "And you will take it!! It's much better than the one you have now!!"
How could I take this?! I mean just look at it!
It's... It's a... a....
Haha so sorry for the cliffy but I couldn't resist!! Any ideas of what Alice's fabulous gift is? C'mon think... This is Alice we are talking about... She doesn't ever give Bella simple gifts. And think about Bella's reaction to this wonderful gift!! Next chapter should be up tomorrow!!! =D
