Ok again thank you much for the reviews I really love them!! Ok so today in my honors Biology class we went over cell mitosis in onion root tip cells I laughed for a good 10 minutes while everyone looked at me crazy. Ah great day oh I have a big test about RNA and DNA tomorrow so when I should be studying I'm writing this chapter. But here we go...
When I woke up this morning I had a bright smile on my face. This was the first time in a while that I didn't have nightmares without taking my pills. Even Arizona seemed to be in a much brighter mood. The only thing that was dampening my smile was the constant rainfall occurring outside, but I shrugged it off. This was Forks totally backwards compared to Phoenix.
I practically skipped to the shower with Arizona prancing in toe. After I was done getting ready I let Arizona out and went to school. When I pulled into the parking lot I knew I had a shit eating grin plastered on my face and I didn't care. I climbed out of my truck when Alice and Rose joined me by linking arms they both looked surprised.
"Bella are you ok" Rose asked looking at me sceptically. I just smiled at her.
"I'm good Rose for the first time in a while I can honestly say that I'm doing good" I told her and she gave me a small smile. I hopped nothing would ruin the first good day I've had in a while. Classes came and went and before I knew it I was driving home.
I was deciding weather or not I should go to Port Angeles, my book supply was becoming sparse in good material and Arizona needed more dog food and I wanted to also pick her up some flea and tick medicine since that session was coming up. When I was driving I put in my 3 oh 3 cd my favorite band at this time. I pulled into a pet co parking lot and got out. I picked up some good quality puppy food, I went to the flea and tick care isle.
I didn't get this stuff at the discount store in Forks because there stuff is cheep and wouldn't do much good at protecting her. I had bought some three month cream and spray then some shampoo. Satisfied with my purchase I loaded my things into the truck cab and decidedto walk to the book store. It was a rather lovely day, true the sun wasn't out but it wasn't raining anymore either and a nice warm breeze was flowing through my hair.
I was starting to get more nervous around the darker parts of town but I stayed out in the public eye and stayed away from dark alley's. I soon found the book store and walked in. I was met with the smell of paper and ink, I inhaled deeply and exhaled and walked straight for the new releases. I hate to admit it but I pretty well much read all of the classics's much to my disappointment. I picked out the bookcalled "A child called It" it wasn't new but it had great reviews. Then I got "The Boy In the Striped Pajama's" the movie was out but I wanted to read the book then watch the movie so I can compare the two.
I left the store after paying and walked quickly to my truck. The drive home was the same as any other day. Once I was home I struggled with Arizona to get her in the bath after I made sure to get her completely clean I blow dried her fur until she was a giant puff ball. I then used a dog brush to tame that crazy hair of hers, I gave her a treat for being good. I then went to my bedroom and turned on my laptop to read any E-mails I had gotten from my mom.
Dear Bella,
I really hope your enjoying Forks and...getting better. There's something you have to know but please don't worry too much. Cody made bail somehow and left the state, now please don't panic Bella. The cops are trying everything they can to find him and you know your father will protect you. I just thought you had the right to know. Please baby don't worry much.
Love you, mom!! 3
I knew I shouldn't worry about Cody but I was. What if he came back for me? Did Charlie know about Cody. Of course he did, then why didn't he tell me. Probably not to concern me over nothing. But it's not nothing, my rapist was free roaming the streets possibly raping even more girls. I decided not to worry, I had complete trust in Charlie he was the Chief of Police for a reason. I wrote my mom back.
Dear Mom,
Forks is surprisingly really good for me. I am getting better, actually my progress is all thanks to my new puppy Arizona she's really good and I love her so much already. I promise not to worry too much about Cody I trust dad completely, thanks for telling me though.
Love you too, Bella 3
I hit send and was surprised to see I had another e-mail from someone that I didn't know. I opened it and stiffled a gasp as tears fell from my eyes. There was a picture of me tied up on Cody's bed, you could see my wrists were raw from me trying to escape them. In the picture my eyes were wide open with tears rushing down my cheeks. My face was pointing towards the open window barely visible in the picture. Cody was there kissing my stomach with a smirk on his face. You could barley see anything below the waist but if you looked hard enough you could tell he was still seethed inside me but not showing anything indesiant.
At the bottom of the picture was only one sentence.
I'm coming for you Bella.
That was all, 5 simple words, but 5 words that sent my world crashing. I didn't know what to do, I knew not to delete it so I printed it out and exited out of my mailbox no longer able to see that on my computer screen. When it was printed out I stared at the picture. I didn't want to show Charlie, it would be too shameful for him to see me in that position. Even though I knew I shouldn't I decided to keep this a secret from him. I folded it up and put it in a drawer.
I ate dinner in a daze, I showered in a daze and I slept with nightmares of what I knew Cody was capable of.
In the morning, still in shock of what I should do. I dressed in a simple pair of sweats not caring how I looked today, I brushed my hair back in a pony tail. I drove to school not really paying attention to what I was doing. When I got out of my warm cab I walked straight into the school ignoring Alice's pleading if I was okay. It was like she knew what had happened.
I stayed in the girls bathroom all day trying to think of a way to bring this up to Rose, surly she must know somthing of what I should do. The lunch bell rang and I practically sprinted towards the cafeteria. When I went in I saw all of the Cullen/Hale's already seated looking at me...waiting. I took a deep breath trying to get my barrings before I made a complete fool of myself. As I got closer a sudden calm passed over me and I sat at the only available seat staring at the blue Formica table.
"Whats wrong Bella" Edward asked in a smooth but menacing voice. Even though all I wanted to do was just look into Edward's eyes and get lost, and pretend none of this stuff was happening. I knew I couldn't show the picture to him, what would he possible think of seeing me in that position it was worse than if my father were to see it. Tears started to cloud my vision and I slowly reached into my bag and partially unfolded the e-mail.
I slowly slide it to Rose and she hesitantly took it noticeably gulping when she opened it a horrified gasp escaped her mouth and she looked at me horrified.
"Oh god Bella" she said as my tears fell. Suddenly Edward slammed his hand down opened palm on the table and roughly but still gentally grabbed my arm and took me outside. I looked away from him ashamed.
"Bella look at me" He demanded and when I didn't he palmed my chin and forced my eyes to meet his darkening gold orbs.
"I promise Bella he won't get you, He won't even come close" He said and I cleared my throat, trying to get rid of the lump.
"How do you know Edward, He's done it once what's stopping him from doing it again" I said and he looked fiercely in my eyes.
"Simple Bella, Me. I promise you he will never lay another one of his disgusting fingers on you again, he won't even get close enough to taint the very air in which you breath. And Bella I never go back on my word" He said and I attacked him a hug as I cried into his chest.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you" I kept repeating into his chest as sobs ripped from my throat as he rubbed soothing circles on my back. For some reason I believed Edward would protect me. When ever I was just around him I felt very safe like nothing could ever hurt me. I haven't felt like this in a while and it felt nice. I never wanted this feeling to disappear.
Ok Chapter 7, you like see I didn't get Bella raped again that's just too mean but I did add some conflict. So again as always REVIEW PLEASE!!!
