Hook Line and Sinker

A/N: Soo…I was not happy with the mere 2 reviews I got, but I did get a bunch of story alerts so that made up for it…..kind of. Get reviewing people, or I wont be a lenient next time. But I just couldn't help but want to write this chapter. Please please review! It means the world to me!

BPOV:

My luck couldn't be any worse.

For the first time in over a year I was about to kiss a guy, who I actually liked and seemed to like me. But literally right as my lips were about to touch his the door sounded. Someone was knocking, loudly, urgently. It made me concerned that there was something wrong with Jake.

"I'll be right back…" I whispered to Edward, patting his cheek ever so lightly.

"Go right ahead. Let me know if you need anything." he replied.

I got up and walked quickly to the door, expecting Charlie or Sue or maybe even Jake himself. But I was wrong.

Oh so wrong.

"What are you doing here?" I said hoarsely, shocked in place.

Mike stood there looking me directly in the eyes, the look on his face one I had seen before. One I had feared greatly.

"Well I came to see my son, and of course my wonderful ex bitch." he replied coldly.

"Jake isn't here and he isn't your son anymore! You gave up the right to see him. How did you find me?"

"Oh Isabella, silly silly Isabella. You must think I'm dumb. You think I haven't been keeping tabs on you since you up and decided to leave me?"

"Everyone told me they didn't talk to you anymore. That I was safe here."

"Jessica Stanley is quite the good liar Isabella. She lied to your face every time she saw you while we were together."

"What do you mean?"

"Are you really that dumb? I've been fucking her on the side for a long long time."

"You've been screwing my best friend? Behind my back. While we were married. While I was carrying your child? How could you."

"It was simple Bella. You duped me into having Jake, you knew I didn't want him. You just needed a way to tie yourself to me for the rest of our lives. And well, Jessica fucks way better than you do. She doesn't just lie there and take it."

"You're an asshole!"

"Do you know what its like having people ask me where my wife and kid is? Wondering why you didn't show up to the Christmas party? Or explaining that you took a PFA out on me? Or why I don't have any pictures of my family on my desk?"

"You made it that way! You chose it to be like this! I was only doing what I needed to do to protect myself and Jake!"

I couldn't breathe, I had no idea what to do. Hopefully Edward was hearing all this, that when it came to calling the cops I had a witness. Or protection if this got nasty.

"Where is Jake anyway? I came all the way down here to see him….and now I have to lay my sorry eyes on you." Mike spat.

"It doesn't matter where Jake is, he's safer there than he is here right now. He doesn't need to be confused. If you had his best interests in mind you wouldn't have fucking come here!"

"Well I got some news that made me decide I had no option but to come here."

"Oh yeah, what did that whore have to tell you Michael? Or was it your mother that told you I was refusing to let her see Jake?"

"Well my mother did call me in quite the tizzy, she was not happy at all. But Jessica was the one who told me where I could find you. And that you've been dating…"

"You've been having sex with a woman behind my back for years Mike! Don't bring my personal life into this, its sub par compared to yours."

"Women. Plural Bella. There were plenty of women on the side in the 7 years we had been together. But I've gotten smart, none of these girls are going to saddle me down with a kid. Double protection if you know what I mean. Aint nobody going to stop taking her pills to have a kid on purpose."

"Mike! We've been over this plenty of times, I did not stop taking my pills! I took every single pill faithfully everyday at the same time. The doctor said I was the rare 1% that gets pregnant on the pill! Why is everything always my fault?"

"Haven't you learned? You're a woman, your always at fault. I hear your doing quite well teaching at Forks high school. it's a shame when the Board of Directors gets a call about you seducing your male students that you'll lose your job."

"Why are you doing this to me?" I said, beginning to shed tears.

That was when things turned even uglier, I was silently praying that Edward heard the commotion and came to save me. Because I knew I was going to need help. The look in Mike's eyes scared me to death, it was even more black than the night I left.

He started toward me, finally crossing the threshold. He cornered me on the staircase, I silently sobbed.

"I also hear that you sent my son off to his grandparents so you could seduce another man into your life. Hopefully you don't saddle him with a kid and completely fuck up his life. You're the fuck up in this situation Bella. You went running back to Daddy, back to where it was safe. But your not safe Bella, I know exactly where you are. What you do. Your every movement. Your. Not. Safe." Mike growled, his lips against my ear.

The last thing I saw was Edward coming through the doorway. But it wasn't soon enough. Mike pushed me back, hard. I hit my head against the steps, instantly blacking out. But I felt the pain. I felt his fists beating into me. I could feel the pain in my ribs, my head, my eyes, my legs, my arms. Every part of me ached. As I blacked out, the last thing I remembered was Mike being pulled off of me and someone hitting him.

EPOV:

When Bella had taken forever at the door, I heard a man, and I knew it wasn't Charlie so I decided to investigate. I gave her almost 10 solid minutes to deal with whoever it was herself, not wanting to barge in on her business.

I had to check on her, there was something inside of me telling me there was something horribly wrong. And I was right, when I stepped out into the foyer I saw Mike Newton shoving her roughly toward the steps and hitting her repeatedly.

By the time I got over there I knew the damage had been done. Being the doctor I could tell Bella was seriously injured. I dialed 911 right before I attacked him.

I beat him senseless, the animal in me coming out. By the time the ambulance got there they had to pry me off of him. They took Mike out in handcuffs. The cop tried to cuff me but I told him I was a doctor and planned on treating Bella when we got her to the hospital.

I demanded on riding in the ambulance. But as they loaded her in, I took care of calling the Chief.

"Chief Swan speaking…" Charlie answered.

"Chief Swan, this is Edward Cullen. I was having dinner with Bella tonight. Unfortunately I'm calling because there is a problem. Mike Newton came to her house, he hurt her pretty bad Chief. They just loaded her into the ambulance, I'm going with him and I'll treat her when we get to the hospital. I know you have her son, so if you don't want to bring him with I'll call you an update." I explained quickly.

"What? Mike showed up at the house? There is a PFA out against him, he's not supposed to be within 200 yards of Bella and Jake. He's sleeping, but I don't want to disrupt him. Please keep me updated Edward, at least until Sue gets home from work and I can make my way to the hospital. Do tell me though, how bad is it?"

"It's bad Charlie. When I realized something bad was happening, he had shoved her against the steps. I know she hit her head hard. And he beat her pretty good, I'm not sure of the extent of her injuries but I'll keep you updated. The cops just cuffed him. I kicked the shit out of him though…"

"Good for you kid good for you. He deserved it."

"Yes well, the cops don't seem to agree with that. I had to pull the doctor card. They wanted to cuff me and take me down for questioning and possible assault charges."

"Don't you worry boy. You take care of my baby girl and I'll make sure that you get off scot-free. If she wakes up call me. Let me know the extent of her injuries. And Edward. Thank you, for being there." Charlie said before hanging up,

With that I jumped in the back of the ambulance, we had a quick ride to the hospital. But I had to call Emmett.

"Em. I need a favor. Can you and Jasper keep an eye on the precinct for the next couple of hours?" I asked when my brother picked up the phone.

"Well…I don't see why not. But why what's up little bro?" Emmett questioned.

"Mike Newton came back and attacked Bella, their holding him there. I just want someone I trust there to make sure they don't leave him out. And if they do…..well you know what to do."

"You got it Bro. Jasper and I are on it. If they leave him go Jasper and I will take justice into our own hands."

I hung up without saying goodbye as we pulled into the hospital parking lot. Immediately we went into x-rays and the whole nine yards. I wasn't going to cut corners. Not with Bella. She already meant too much to me.

The X-rays came up with a broken wrist, sprained ankle, and various fingers and toes broken. Along with plenty of ribs.

We followed with a CAT Scan. It showed me what I already knew. She had a very severe concussion, it has to be front the way she hit the steps. And she had a possible contusion.

I took a bunch of unnecessary blood tests, just to make sure they were all okay. I stitched up the huge gash above her eye, the only possible suspect I had was the banister of the steps or a ring. And that cut was deep.

The bruises were bright blue, green, and yellow. And they were all over the place. Her eyes, her cheekbones, her arms, her chest, her stomach. There were so many of them.

I placed her on a morphine drip, trying to dull the pain I knew she would feel when she woke up. After checking and double checking the test results, CAT Scan, and x-rays I decided I wanted to keep her overnight and possibly longer for observation. Just to be safe. Between the concussion and the contusion I was worried about her.

The call back to Charlie was a little less friendly this time.

"Charlie? I just got all the results back. She's got a major severe concussion, a brain contusion, a broken wrist, sprained ankle, at least 4 broken ribs if not more, a bunch of fingers and toes, and a lot of bruises. I'm keeping for overnight for observation. The concussion and contusions worry me." I explained wearily.

"Sue should be back from work in a half an hour or so and then I'm coming right over there. I talked to the guys at the precinct and demanded that they don't leave Mike go under any circumstances. Please don't leave her side Edward." Charlie said. You could hear the concern dripping from his voice.

"My brothers are they waiting if they do let him out, they'll take care of him. But I wont leave her." I said, hanging up.

I sat by her bedside the entire time, refusing to move. I might miss something, or something might go wrong.

But after almost an hour I saw her stir. Charlie hadn't gotten here yet. And I found myself holding her hand, like the lifeline I needed to keep me sane. When her beautiful brown eyes popped open I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Edward….." she whispered hoarsely.

And I knew from the point on she had me hook line and sinker.
