Sweet Escape

Chapter 7

When the two girls showed up at the garage, Edward was sharpening a knife with creepy expression in his half-face, which uncovered with mask-making Bella cringed. Bella's eyes bulged as she saw him sitting on the hood of giant red jeep.

Oh my! gasped Bella. They are so extraordinarily wealthy! Look at those cars! A Volvo SUV, and then Jeep, and look! Even that Porsche! Oh my, I want to die!

"What was it that made you so damn late to call Bella upstairs, Alice?" his voice sounded so low and sharp, so sharp that it might cut Alice's fingers.

"Uh, oh, Bella just... took a bath a little bit longer, Ed," said Alice, stuttered. Edward lifts his knife up, his face made a scary grinning.

"Okay, then. Thank you, Al. You'd better go now."

"What will you do to her?" Alice yelled as Edward smiled mysteriously from his knife to Bella. "You are like a psychopathic idiot! Don't scare us like that!"

"No, I don't scare anybody," he looked at Alice with calm expression. Oh, please, Bella groaned inside seeing Edward's fake expression, "I just want to talk about something fundamental to her. Calm down, Al."

"I don't believe you!"

Edward sighed heavily, "Oh my, you hurt my ego! How could you say something cruel like that to your brother?"

"I know you better, Edward. If mom and dad know about you being abusive to her-."

"Alright, alright! I got it, okay? I am not going to hurt her even if it is the last thing that I want to do. This I promise you okay, Al?"

As Alice nodded heavily, he told her to leave Bella alone. With him.

Edward saw that strange amused expression in her face. She might be very impressed with Alice deeds earlier. "What are you looking at? Is there something in my face?"

Bella became conscious, "Yeah. A mask!" she said sarcastically. Edward laughed.

"Oh my, you're so funny, though! I don't realize it before; you always acted annoying last night."

"It's not all my fault," she shrugged her shoulder.

Edward waved his knife, "Okay, let's go to the main business. Do you still remember our conversation last night? If not, I sincerely repeat it to you even if without request. How kind I am!"

Looking at his multiple personalities, Bella could not figure out who is responsible in his case. His parents might not educate him properly, that was what Bella thought. Even though, Alice was so nice-Bella liked her, anyway-opposite of Edward. Was there something happen his childhood so when he grew up, he becoming like this? Bella asked herself.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Bella blinked, "Eh?"

Without realizing, Edward dropped the knife to free his hands so he could touch Bella's cheek. She froze as he stroked the blue bruise in her left cheek. "What... is this?"

"Nothing," Bella said emptily.

"What's nothing? It is something, you know! You've been hit by that bastard!" he groaned in anger.

"Edward," Bella tried to calm him down, but Edward looked so furious that he could kill that drunker right away with empty hands. "It's nothing, okay? Just calm down."

"How could I calm down if someone innocent gets bruises all over the face like this?" Bella saw his hands shaking with emotion. Somehow, seeing Edward mad like his care about Bella made her heart suddenly filled with warmth.

"It's all pointless, Edward. I am fine now and nothing should be worried about me. Just calm down, you make me scared."

Suddenly Edward looked deeply at Bella's brown eyes, "Do I make you scared?"

Bella suddenly could not say anything as she met his green eye; she cannot even think of anything. For some reason, every time Edward saw her that way, she lost consciousness. She did not even know her own name. How strange, she thought.

"Hey, don't you hear me? I am asking you right now. Why do you daydreaming when I am talking to you like that? You're so impolite."

"What the…!" Bella shrieked.

"Am I scary or not?" he urged.

"Yeah, you're so scary! Like a monster! Who has given you the idea to wear that creepy mask? I hate it, honestly!" Bella said all of those things without thinking. "Is there something you hide behind that mask?"

Edward looked shock. Even though, Bella never knew that just for a second his expression changed. "What is your problem? It was none of your business. You do not forget why I call you here today, do you? I want to demand the payback now!"

Bella suddenly got speechless. Of course, he won that easy, he was the one that helped Bella last night and saved her hanging life. Edward gave her triumphant gaze. "Huh! What is now? Don't have an argument anymore?"

Bella gave him a killing look.

"Okay then, give me one hundred thousand dollars."

"ARE YOU CRAZY? I don't have a money tree in my backyard garden!" Bella yelled emotionally.

"Whoa, whoa, calm down, girl. I am not pushing you to pay right now. I give you a week to find money."

"You wish!" Bella threw her hand in the air, "I'm leaving now! If you just want rid of me, you'd better let me die in the street last night."

Edward expression looked like someone punched out. After waking from his unconsciousness, he followed Bella who almost running along the corridor in his house to the guest room. They passed through Alice, who looked at the chases scene with blank expression.

"Bella!" he cried as Bella ran faster and almost got to the guest room door. Edward successfully holding it open before the door slammed in front of his face.

"Get out! I want to change my clothes! I will leave as soon as you wish! Don't come over me!" That girl finally got mad. Alice saw them in a horrifying look.

"What are you doing to her, Ed? I'm telling you-."

Edward managed to sneak in between the open crevice and got into Bella's room just before the door slammed shut by her force, leaving Alice alone outside. He surprised by flowing tears in the girl's face.

"What are you doing—hmph!" Before she could speak, her mouth clamped by Edward's hand.

"Ssh, quiet!" Bella could feel his warm breath close to her face, making her flew. His cold mask touched her cheek and suddenly she did not able to breathe. Her heart was thumping even harder in her chest.

"Okay, please stop screaming. Listen to me first before you decided to leave. You even do not have any destination. Nevertheless, I swear, I do not want to rid you or something. I apologize," his whisper was so soft in Bella's ear, making her body shaking unexpectedly. As he felt the shaking, Edward let go of his hand from her face.

Bella slowly got up. As sobbing she whispered, "I hate you so much."
