Jasper's POV.

"No Carlisle. Don't wake him up. They look so cute together."

"Esme I have too. He said it was urgent." I was pretty sure they were talking about me now.

"But look, Alice looks so sweet next to Jazz."

"I'm sorry dear, but I have too." I heard footsteps getting louder. I decided to stop playing around and 'wake up'.

"Dad? Mom?" I said trying to get away from Alice's grip.

"In the kitchen dear." I moved Alice's head and placed her in the couch, she looked so lovely and peaceful. I sighed, the faster I got this over with the faster I could go back to sleep with her in my arms. I picked up the box on the table and walked over to the kitchen counter were everyone else was.

"Mom, Dad, did you lock up the doors right. And the alarm?"

"No, I didn't think we would need it why?" Dad asked.

"Because we think someone's trying to stalk Bella." I placed the box in front of him and went to turn on the alarm. When I was back he looked mad.

"Jazz what is this?" Mom asked. She went through the pictures, there was me and Bella messing around, another one where i gave her a piggyback rid.

"This, is someone trying to get under our skin. I don't know if it's possible, but we think it's Paul. Bella keeps on getting notes at school, it's not normal."

"But isn't he locked up?" she asked.

"I don't know. It's possible that he escaped."

"Jasper, how long has this been going on for?" Dad asked.

"We barley found out about the note's yesterday. The picture's came in today. But if you look at them, there old. Like 2 years ago old."

"Okay. So what do we do?" Mom asked.

"I don't know. But Bella's freaking out. She's sleeping with Edward right now, she wanted to let me be with Alice, so she asked Edward to stay with her. But she's not doing good. She couldn't breath, Edward had to do CPR on her."

"Okay, if Bella freaks out again I need you to give her a shot, she won't like it, but if you don't, things can go bad. If you get anymore of this [he pointed at the pictures] contact me ASAP. I'm going to go search around right now and see what I can find about Paul. I'll call the police and tell them we think you have a stalker. For now on, everyone leave's every door and window lock and make sure the alarm is on when your out or in." dad said. He took out something from the cabinet.

"This is a tranquilizing shot. Give it to Bella in her arm [he pointed at the right spot and I knew exactly where], this is if her nightmares are getting worse even with her pills, or she has another strong panic attack." I nodded.

"And jasper." Dad said making me look back before I went back to Alice.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Be careful, you and Emmett are very important to us, please be careful." I nodded.

"We will. But you know that too us, Bella always come's first." he nodded. I went back and found Alice still asleep. I picked her up, and finally headed up to my room for a goodnight's rest.

Edward's POV.

I was tired and sleepy. Yet I couldn't sleep, I kept on hearing Bella talk in her sleep, I wanted to make sure she was feeling good.

"Edward" I heard her say, I looked at her and saw she was still sleeping. It made me smile, the though that she was sleep talking about me. Oh how much I loved Bella.

"Edward." she said again. I was pretty sure I head a shit eating grin by now.

"I love you." I froze. I couldn't let myself hope like that. I've known that I was in love with Bella for years now, it's the reason why I don't go out on date's. but I wasn't going to let my mind or my heart hope when I knew it wasn't possible. She always saw me as her best friend, and if that's how I was going to be in her life, then I would stay that way. I knew I loved her though, her smile, her beauty, her witty remarks, I loved anything and everything about her. I kissed her forehead and wrapped her in my arms. I feel asleep soon.

Bella's POV.

"Sweetheart it's time to get up." I heard Jasper's voice.

"No.' I said hiding my face from him. I was still in Edward's arms, I could feel his arms around my waist.

"Sush Bella. Maybe if we ignore him, the bad man will go away." I heard Edward say. I stayed quite and laid my head on his chest.

"Bella. Edward. It's time to get up."

"Don't move." Edward said.

"Come one. Or I'll get Emmett." We both sat up quickly.

'Kidding. His out." I threw at pillow at Jasper.

"Get out of here." I told him.

"Come on Bells. It's time to get up." I huffed and got off the bed.

"Carry me?" I asked him.

"Sure Bells." He laughed and picked me up into his arms.

"Jazz. Why am I awake so early?" I asked him."Because Bells. We need to talk about last night." I froze and jump out of his arms.

"No." I said running back to my room. Edward was getting off the bed.

"Bells. You can't run away from this. We'll help you face it." I heard Jasper say.

"Edward I don't want too. I can't go threw the same thing." I said hugging him. I felt him try to sooth me.

"Bells. It's okay. I'll be there." he gripped my face in his palms and turned me so I could face him. "Hey. Look at me. I'll be there. I'll help you threw this.""Okay." I told him. "Edward I think…" "Bella please come downstairs. Dad wants to talk to you." Jasper interrupted me, good thing too. I wasn't sure if I should let Edward know yet. I couldn't, not until I was sure this wouldn't ruin out friendship.

"You think what Bells?" he asked.

"Nothing. I can't tell you yet. Maybe when I'm less confused. Come on." I said. We walked down the stairs to find everyone there and the chief of police Billy Black.

"Isabella. I'm sorry we have to meet in this circumstances. Your father told me of your problem. We made some research and I don't have good knew for you." I looked at Edward and he had his arms around me instantly.

"He escaped a few years ago." I could feel the tears coming down my eyes.

"We're sorry. But apparently they though it was a bad idea to notify us."

"Bad idea. Your serious. He wants my sister and they think it was a bad idea. That's bullshit." Emmett yelled.

"Emmett Cullen. I did not teach you to speak like that." I heard mom yell.

"I'm sorry. But that sick freak is our there." Emmett said.

"We're doing the best we can. We'll have two cops on patrol in this house and another two in school." I took a deep breath and hid my face in Edward's chest.

"His coming back for me. He just won't give up Edward. What if this time he kills me." I whispered to him.

"Bella. That will never happen. I promise you I will not let it happen."

"why. Why me. What did I do." I cried.

"Nothing Bells. It's just life."

"Well life sucks." I yelled.

"It's okay Bells. We'll all be here for you." he sooth.

"His going to get me Edward. He won't give up. What if he hurts you. Or rose. I can't let that happen." I started to panic. What if he did hurt him. Or Rose of Alice. If they got hurt because of me, I wouldn't live with it. I couldn't. I loved them all to much. I stopped breathing, that's not good.

"Edward. I can't breath."

"Oh I'm sorry." he pulled me away.

"No. I can't breath." I said to him. I was gasping for air again. Why did this have to happen.

"Bella calm down." Edward said.

"I can't." but I did. If I freaked out, how was I going to stop Paul. I took a few deep breaths and did it. I was a bit more relaxed.

"God Bella. You and your panic attacks will be the death of me." Edward said hugging me close.

"I'm sorry." I said. I hadn't noticed that Billy, dad, mom, and Jazz where talking privately.

"Its okay love. Everything will be okay." I sighed and nodded. I didn't know what I was going to do, but I needed to keep calm.

"You're a strong girl Bella. We'll get threw this." I heard Alice say.

"I know. I just wish he wasn't ruining my life anymore." I told her.

"none of us do." she gave me a weak smile and I gave her one back. I tuned everyone out, I didn't want to think about this right now. I looked up at Edward and I found myself feeling better. He smiled at me and it gave me a tingly feeling in my stomach. He was beautiful, and I loved him. I froze. Was that really what I felt, was I really sure. And I was right. I knew I might be in love with him, but the taught of actually realizing it, it's a whole different thing.

"Eddie, can I go back to sleep." I asked in the sweetest voice. I felt him kiss my forehead, making it burn, but in a good tingly way.

"We'll I don't see why not. Up you go." he said right before he lifted me up bridal style.

"Edward I can walk." I told him.

"It's fine. I like to carry you anyways. Hey Jazz. Bells wants to go back to sleep. I'm a take her up to her room." he told him and Jazz nodded.

"Edward, do you think they'll find him?" I asked looking up at him.

"I'm not sure love, but I hope they do soon."

"Me too." when we got to my room, I made sure it was locked.

"Are you trying to kill me or seduce me?" Edward joked.

"Ha Ha. I just don't want anyone to intrude. I'm going to take a quick shower." I said jumping off his arms and getting undressed.

"You know that little move would get you in trouble with someone else that wasn't me."

"What are you talking about?" I asked looking back at him.

"Always dressing or undressing in front of me." he said.

"Wow. It's not like you haven't seen me in my bra and underwear before. Why dose it bother you because I can stop." I said covering myself with a towel.

"No not really." he said with a shrug. I let the towel drop and took of the rest of my clothes leaving myself in my bra and boy shorts.

"Good." I said walking off to the shower. I never knew if it was confidence or just that I always felt comfortable around him, but I never did mind him seeing me half naked. I was never very secure of my body, so how was it that made me not care around him. I love him, and that was the reason. I felt myself falling for him more and more. That scared me. It was funny though in 3 days a figured it out, and all it took was for Paul to come back.

Edward's POV.

God I wanted to jump her. How dose she manage in making me 'stand' on my 'toes' even when she doesn't mean it. She's so beautiful, her milky skin, her slim curvy figure, her nice smooth legs. Everything about her made me go mad. And then that belly ring, oh my god, it turned my own so bad. I don't know how long I was standing there trying not to take her but I heard her turn off the shower.

"Edward. I kind of forgot the towel. Can you hand it to me please." I chuckled. I picked up the towel and handed it to her. I could see her hand sticking out from the door. I sighed. She came out with her hair dripping and a towel wrapped around her gorgeous body. She went into her closet.

"Edward is something wrong?" Bella asked.

"No. Nothing at all." I lied.

"Okay. You just look so tense. Now cover your eyes." I chuckled and nodded. I closed my eyes and waited for her to change.

"Mkay there." she said and I uncovered my eyes. She was half naked again. God this isn't easy. She was putting on her pajama shorts and a simple tank top. When she was done she went back to bed. I saw her there laying waiting for me to join her. I chuckled and got on the other side of bed.

"Go back to sleep now Bella." she nodded and laid her head on my chest. I wrapped my arms around her tiny frame.

"I love you Bells." I whispered. She didn't say anything, she was sleeping.

Bella's POV.

No. why did he have to show up. Couldn't he just leave us alone.

"Bella, why don't you come with me. We wouldn't want to hurt your little friend." Paul said.

"Okay. Just let her go." I said threw my tears.

"Well then, come with me." he said dropping her to the floor. I walked over to him and he wrapped his arms around me. He began to kiss and lick my neck.

"I missed you Bella." I heard him say. I was crying hysterically by now.

"Please Paul don't do this." I begged.

"But my dear, I can't help it. Your body, it's so tempting." he said sliding his hand up my skirt. He began to play with my body, and then things got more dangerous. He had a knife, and he began to cut my skin.

"I think we should make this game more interesting." he said tracing patters with the knife on my stomach.

"Please just leave me." I asked him.

"I'll leave you when I'm done with you." he said stabbing the knife in my stomach. I cried out in pain, I could feel the tears. He began to rip my clothes open, and his hands touched everywhere.

"Don't." I yelled.

"Don't tell me what to and not do." he yelled slapping me across the face.

"Paul. Don't do this. Just kill me." I begged.

"That will come later. Once I'm done with you." he said unzipping his jeans. I could feel myself crying and breaking.

"Bella. Don't look at this in a bad way, just let your body relax and you might enjoy it." he said position himself in me. With every thrust and every push, I cried and cried to be killed.

"Bella. Wake up." Edward shook me. I opened my eyes and I was in Edward's arms. He was rocking me back and forth.

"Calm down Bella. I'm right here." he said.

"Edward he wouldn't stop. He just kept on going." I cried.

"Shush love. I'm right here." I took a few deep breaths an calmed down. I was sticky and sweaty. I needed another shower. But this time I wanted to relax a bit more, I wanted to take a bath and relax all my muscles.

"Edward. Can you give me an hour to myself. I want to take a bath."

"Of course Bella. I'll be out in the family room with everyone if you need me." I nodded and he left my room locking it. After setting the bath up I got in and felt better. My muscles tingled to the sensation of the warm water. I felt better and let all my problems go, until later. I let my mind drift to Edward.
