Chapter 6:
Bella POV:
"You don't have plans," A voice said. I turned around and saw Chris with a wicked face. I also noticed the gleaming fangs located at the edges of his mouth.
"Chris? How'd you get in here," my tone switching to my panicky voice.
"Easy…you left the door unlocked," he shrugged. Damn it, I knew I should have locked it for security. Who knew Chris would stalk me all the way back to my home? I crawled to the corner of my room trying to avoid his face. It felt like one of those hide and seek games when your heart is pounding wildly not wanting to get caught. And yeah, he just followed me and cornered me. How helpless was I?
"And now I can finally taste your sweet blood," Chris laughed kneeling down to me trying to intimidate me. The words reminded of Edward when he first blurted out he was a vampire. Not the "taste" my blood part though. I sighed wishing that everything was the way it was when I was back in Phoenix.
"Why are you sighing?" He snarled at me.
"Thinking of memories," I continued, "What? Now I can't even think?" He leaned down and gave me a pat on the head.
"I'm not a little girl," I muttered. Chris just went over and sat on my bed. Gosh, he was dirty and now he's sitting on my bed. Jeez, I just had that washed.
After one hour of endless silence, I broke it.
"Um…aren't you going to kill me yet?"
"Not yet, I have to wait for that Cullen to come," he explained.
"What? Edward? He won't come," I told him. Edward would never come even if I was dead.
"Oh, he will, I can sense it."
Edward coming? That thought gave a warm feeling throughout my body. I shook my feelings aside and thought for the worst. Ever since I got to Forks, I met the strangest people. Next thing I know, Mike would be a witch.
"He won't come, trust me on that," I argued. Chris just continued flipping through my copy of Romeo and Juliet.
"Hmm… you seem to love this story," he changed the subject.
"No…" I stammered. Chris pointed at my posters and DVDs related to Romeo and Juliet.
"What happens if I made you Juliet," he grinned.
"What does that mean?" I asked curiously.
Edward POV:
"Hello?" I answered my cell.
"If you want to save your damsel, meet me in front of her house," the voice instructed. Damsel? That's Bella! I rushed to my car until Alice stopped me.
"Edward? Can I come along?"
"I want to go along, ok? I don't want to cause you any harm," I smiled hesitantly.
"Bring her back," she encouraged.
I arrived at her house five minutes later and saw him waiting for me. That Chris is on my nerves. What did he do to my Bella?
"Where is she?" I growled.
"Welcome Romeo," he greeted. His unblinking red eyes staring straight at me while I noticed he completely changed his disguise. Instead of his blond hair, it was a jet black cropped style. I charged upstairs to her bedroom and saw her unconscious in a corner.
"What did you do?" I pushed him violently to the ground.
"I just wanted to create a remake of Romeo and Juliet," Chris grinned sickly at me. My anger seeping in as I thought of way to destroy this monster, but a minute later, everything came to an end as I slashed Chris to bits. I killed him outside because Bella would be angry if I made a mess. Such a clean-freak. I burned him at a park hoping all evidence would be gone and I started my way to Bella. It was a piece of cake killing him since my anger was released.
"Bella?" I asked frantically as I carried her up. Her neck had marks stating that her condition is not well. I placed her fragile body gently down the passenger seat and got in my car. I drove straight home not caring about the traffic. As I was about to go in the house to find Carlisle, she whispered.
"Don't leave me, please."
"Shh…Bella, it's ok," I comforted. I laid her down on a bench and sat beside her.
"Did Chris bite you?" I asked to make sure.
"No…he scratched me because he wanted to make a scene," Bella smiled weakly, and then she leaned on my shoulder. That action brought me memories when we were together. I took her hand and intertwined it with my hand.
"Edward?"
"Yes?" I looked at her big, brown eyes. God, when was the last time I saw her natural.
"Let's just be friends, best friends, ok?" She mumbled curling up to me. She wanted to be friends. I let out a disappointed sigh. I was the one who ditched her; she must be nice enough to be friends with a loser.
"Ok," I hugged her tightly never wanting this moment to end.
"Hey, can she sleep in your room tonight, if you're not using it," I asked Alice nodding to Bella.
"Sure, why not, haven't talked to her in ages," Alice beamed.
"Alice, don't wake her up, she already had a rough night, let's not bother her," I warned.
"Ok," she replied. I picked Bella up and put her on Alice's bed.
"Why do you have a bed?" I asked her. Alice smirked.
"To fit the room, I also want to be an interior designer."
"Good luck on that dream," I patted her on the back while she hit me with a pillow.
Bella POV:
Where am I? I am clearly not in my room. I sat up groggily to recollect last night's events. I was disturbed when I met a pair of topaz eyes.
"Oh my gosh, Edward, you scared me," I screamed as I jumped out of the bed. He chuckled,
"Glad you're awake though, you gave me a fright yesterday and the rest of the family."
"You told the whole family, are they mad I'm here right now?" I asked hoping it wasn't a bother.
"Mad? They're overjoyed you're here, they haven't seen you for a year," Edward laughed.
"Do you want to see them?" I couldn't reply, since I didn't know how I would react if I saw them. Carlisle, Esme, Alice and Jasper would be excited to see me. Emmett had already seen me and I'm not sure about Rosalie. The last time I tried to talk to her, she tried to bite my hand off. Talk about anger management problems.
"Nah…it's ok," I shook off the invitation.
"Too bad, we're here," Alice shrieked as she hugged me. The family smiled in sympathy at me. I swore I saw Rosalie giving me a smile.
"Aw…Alice thanks, and why do you have bed in your room?"
"That's what I asked her too," Edward grinned.
"I just want a bed in my room, why can't I?" Alice replied annoyed.
"Alice, I'm sorry," I hugged Alice. Some moments like these come in a lifetime.
Edward whistled quietly to himself while I was still lying on my bed after they left. After one hour of explaining what happened last night was tiresome. Edward was a sweet guy since he was left me alone while I rested by staring at the white wall above me.
"Edward, are you there?"
"Yes, do you want me to go get something?"
"No, but I just wanted to tell you that I'm glad we are now friends," I said still staring at the ceiling. I never knew there were tiny bumps and dents there.
"Oh, me too," he answered with a hint of disappointment. I faced him.
"What? You don't want me as a friend?" I asked him angrily.
"No, Bella it's not like that," he explained.
"Then what is it?" I asked getting irritated. I wanted to be friends and now he rejected it. That tore up my heart in pieces. I just healed it by thinking my real friends were Angela and the others. He let out an exasperated sigh.
"Bella, I still love you."
