Bella's POV
I was sleeping peacefully in the hotel bed, which I could only assume Edward had put me in, until I heard a series of loud crashes coming from the other room. I rolled out of bed soundlessly and carefully walked into the second room. I was
greeted by the smell of pancakes, eggs, and bacon, and the sight of Jasper and Emmett rolling all over the floor fighting, knocking things over as they went. Alice was no where to be seen and Edward was in the small kitchen table watching me.
Ignoring the two fighting brothers, I ambled over to the table where he was sitting, and he pulled me onto his lap.
"Good morning love. Sleep well?" He asked as he kissed my cheek.
"Yes, thank you," I responded. My stomach grumbled from all of the good smells that were wafting in the air. Edward chuckled and pointed to a full of food in front of him.
"Eat," he instructed. I ate all the food on my plate, and as I got up to put it in the sink, another crash came from the living room. Being the klutz that I am, I jumped at the noise, causing me to drop the plate and stumble backwards. Edward on
the other and, being the amazing guy that he is, nimbly grabbed the falling plate and me in a single move. He sighed as he righted me, and put the plate in the sink for me. Edward seized my hand as we walked into the living to figure out why
they were fighting.
"I won!" Jasper shouted as they continued to roll around on the floor.
"No I did!"Emmett shouted back. What was this about?
"I'm the one that knocked over the couch, so I woke Bella up!" Emmett said.
"Well I knocked over the big screen TV, so I must have woken her up!" Jasper contradicted. So this fight was about who woke me up? Gosh these guys were pitiful! After several minutes of fighting Emmett spoke again. "Let's just ask Bella. She
should know what woke her up." They got up off the floor and stood before me, waiting my answer.
"Well…Ugh…You both kinda did. It was both of you two fighting on the floor that woke me, not a TV or couch." There, maybe they'll stop fighting now. Nope, I was wrong; they continued arguing over who did it. Edward was really mad by this
point, so he walked over to them and grabbed them by their shirts.
"You both had better stop fighting NOW! I usually tolerate your stupid bets, but not when you are fighting over who woke Bella up. If you know what's best for you, neither one of you will take claim, because the person that did will have to
answer to me." Edward walked back over to me and reclaimed my hand. The looks on Japer and Emmett's faces were priceless! The look of horror was so evident on their faces that I burst out laughing. I mean how many times do you normally
see a vampire that is scared? The three of them just stared at me oddly as I continued to laugh so hard that I was crying. A few more minutes of laughing and I was sober again. Looking around the room, I once again remembered Alice's
absence. Wasn't she supposed to be here?
"Umm guys? Where's Alice at? Didn't she come with you?" Jasper nodded, but it was Edward that spoke.
"She went out shopping really early this morning to bet you and herself a new out fit for the fair." Come on! Why did Alice insist on torturing me so? Why couldn't I just wear one of outfits that I had gotten a few days ago at the airport? O well,
no use crying over spilt milk. If Alice wanted to buy me an outfit who was I to ruin her fun? No seriously. Who was I to ruin everyone's fun? Because this is what I was doing to them by having them protect me from James all the time. Why
couldn't he just leave me and my family alone? Why?
RING!
Edward answered the phone before it could ring a second time.
"Hello?" He asked whoever was on the other line.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes Alice I'll talk to her. Don't worry I won't let her go anywhere." Well that answered that question. It was Alice.
"Thanks Alice. Bye." Edward hung up the phone and glared at me. "Come on," he said pulling me to the bedroom. He picked me up and laid me in the middle of the bed. He closed the door before climbing in the bed. He hovered over me with his
hands on either side of my face and his legs beside mine. I was trapped, and he wouldn't let me move until he had gotten what he wanted.
"Do you know why Alice called me?" He asked. I shook my head no even though I had a vague idea of why she did. "She called because she saw you leaving, Bella. Do you have any idea as to how much pain, suffering, and trouble that would
cause me and my family? We all love you so much Bella. If you were to…If something were to happen to you, Bella, my family would go into depression, and I would probably do something even more drastic because I cannot live without you.
Bella you have to understand that if you were to get hurt or worse, I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I need you more than you need air. When you're not with me, it's like I can't breath. Do you hear me Bella? Promise me you'll never try to
leave me, please." He stared at me, waiting for my answer. I felt like crying. This was just too much to take.
"I promise, Edward. I'll never leave you; I'll stay with you forever. I promise that I will not runaway to give myself up to James," I said as I sobbed. I would be true to my word; I would not runaway to give myself to James. Now I realized that if I
gave myself up and he killed me, that it would still affect the ones I was dying for. Edward's family would go into depression along with my mom, dad, and friends. Edward was telling the truth when he said he'd do something drastic, and that
would more than likely be killing himself. A world without Edward was hardly a world at all. I stared into his eyes as the tears cascaded down my face. Edward half smiled as he wiped away all of my tears.
"Shh, Bella, it's okay," he said soothingly. He leaned down closer and put his lips against mine. Everything seemed alright when we kissed. It was like there was no such thing as pain, sorrow, and suffering. There was only love, joy, and
happiness. If only we could spend all of our time kissing, but sadly we cannot. When our kiss was over the tears returned, continuing to run down my cheeks. He sighed at the return of the tears, and sat up placing me in his lap. He just sat there
cradling me in his arms while I cried. I was not sure what I was crying for, I only knew that they were not sad tears, they were happy ones. I soon found myself falling to sleep in my love's arms…
"Bella! Wakeup now or we won't have enough time to get you ready to go!" The little pixie, who seemed to enjoy waking me, shouted as she shook me awake.
"Time to get ready for what Alice? I was peacefully sleeping until you screamed in my ear, you know," I asked a little crankily, but that's what she gets for screaming on my ear.
"Oh, sorry Bella," Alice said bashfully." We are going to the fair and we have to get ready now, so come on." Alice didn't wait for me to get up; instead she grabbed me out of the bed and carried me to the bathroom. Alice already had everything
laid out, including clothes and make-up. Alice had laid out the dress I had gotten at the airport, along with ballet flats and small black sweater to go over top. Alice left to let me get dresses, but as soon as I was finished, she was back in the
room to do my make up. Surprisingly, it didn't take her very long to do it.
"Look in the mirror," Alice whispered in my as she walked out the door. I stood up to get a good look at myself in the full length mirror. I was shocked at who I saw looking back at me. I was beautiful! Alice had out done herself with my hair and
make up, not to mention my outfit. As I opened the bathroom door, my only thought was that maybe Edward would think so too. I carefully walked into the living room, where four pairs of vampire eyes were on mine. Each one was staring at me
with their mouths gaping open, with the exception of Alice who was smirking at her handy work. Edward was soon by my side holding me close to him.
"You look absolutely stunning Bella," he whispered into my ear. Is comment made me blush cherry red. He chuckled as he pulled me closer to the door. "Are you ready to go?" I nodded as he pulled me out the door to my doom.
We arrived at the fair around 9:00. I was nervous to be going to a fair in the dark. The day time fair was hard enough for me to around at. Why were they so eager to get me killed? Edward seemed to notice my anxiety.
"Bella, it's okay. I won't let anything hurt you, not even yourself, I promise." I relaxed a little bit at his words, but I was still nervous. I mean how did he know nothing was going to happen? Oh yeah that's right, his psychic sister. Edward was
right, there was nothing to fear. I mean what was going to happen to me with four vampires around? I stopped worrying, so that everyone could have a good time. It was 10:00 at night and four sodas later, that everything took a change for
the worse.
"Hey Edward?" I said. I really needed to use the bathroom.
"She needs a human moment," Alice said as she took my hand."I'll take her." I felt like a five year old with her walking me to the bathroom. She ushered me into the bathroom and told me that she'd wait for me outside the door. I used the
bathroom, washed my hands, and walked outside to find Alice missing. I didn't think anything was wrong until I noticed that neither a human nor a vampire was to be found anywhere. This was defiantly very odd considering that when I walked
into the bathroom three minutes ago, there were tones of people(and vampires) everywhere. I walked back towards were I believed the parking lot was. I figured that they were all just playing some cruel joke. What I found waiting for me at
the car was a vampire all right, just not the one I was expecting. James was leaning against Edward's car smirking.
"Hello Bella my dear. It's so good to have finally found you. It wasn't very nice of you to leave me at the studio like that Bella. I'm also sorry to hear that you told your little vampire friends. I guess that now I'm going to have to punish you." He
growled a low fierce growl, and jumped at me.
I left you guys with a cliffie didn't I? I guess you'll just have to read the next chapter to see what James does! Well on the good note, I made this chapter a lot longer than my other ones, so that should make you a little happy at least.
PLESE REVIEW!!!!
