Chapter Seven 'Old Friends'

Bella and Edward had been very close that last couple of weeks and his family was happy for him. She was sitting on the hood of his car and he was standing in between her legs. Kissing her neck lightly. "I am going to be gone this weekend," Edward said not really wanting to leave her side.

"Okay," Bella said. "Where are you going?" She asked.

"Me and the family are going to get some food," Edward said. "If you know what I mean," he said causing her to nod her head.

"Yeah," Bella said. "Well I guess we better make the best of our time," she said smiling.

"Did you tell her?" Rosalie asked coming over to him and her cell rang.

"Hello," Bella said into her phone. "Ahh," she said. "I missed you," she said before moving him to the side and heading away from them.

"Okay," Jasper said. "She seemed happy," he said. "Maybe its a guy," he said getting a glare from Edward.

"Shut up," Alice said smacking him. "It's a girl," she said confidently. "But there are guys involved," she said causing him to feel jealousy.

Bella came walking back over to them and he turned back to her. "Who are the guys?" He asked like a jealous boyfriend.

"I thought you couldn't read my mind," Bella said causing him to smirk.

"What now you think you can get passed me with things?" Edward asked causing her to snicker.

"Okay listen up," Bella said. "I don't do jealous I am very loyal to the people I am with once you get over this come find me," she said walking past them.

"Edward!" Alice said in shock. "I said guys were involved I never said any of them were for her," she said smacking him on the arm and he slammed his fist into the hood of his car leaving a dent.

Bella slammed her locker door shut and saw Edward standing there. "Can I help you?" She asked.

"Look I am sorry," Edward said. "I was an idiot," he said.

"That is an understatement," Bella said starting to walk away and he grabbed her arm.

"Please don't be mad," Edward said. "I trust you," he said causing her to look up.

"Good," Bella said softly. "And it looks like I will be going away from the weekend to camp," she said softly. "There coming to pick me up from school Friday," she said softly.

"So I get to check out these guys," Edward said wrapping his arm around her. "Making sure they don't have any misleading intention," he said causing her to laugh.

"I got to go to class but I will see you at lunch," Bella said causing her to walk away. Edward was glad that bad patch was over and he knew he had to learn to control himself.

That Friday finally came it took a lot of convincing for Charlie to let her go camping. Edward and the rest of the Cullen's waited with her for her friends to show up. "Please don't get hurt while I am away," he said holding her hands.

"I make no promises," Bella said slightly laughing.

"I don't know what I would do if I lost you," Edward said stroking her cheek. "Is that them?" He asked looking over at two car coming through blaring their music.

"Yep," Bella said getting off his car and then headed over to the girl. They guy got out of the other car and headed over to the girls. "Something wrong Jenny?" She asked the girl she was hugging.

"Melinda is mad at Kirk," Jenny said softly. "So Colen and Cameron are riding with them," she said. "And we are riding together," she said causing her to nod.

"This should be fun," Bella said just as Edward wrapped his arms around her. "Um ladies this is my boyfriend Edward and my friends Rorsalie, Alice, Emmett, and Jasper," she said. "Guys these are my friends from Phenoix Jenny and Melinda," she said causing them all to wave.

"Excuse me," Kirk said look at her and she rolled her eyes.

"And these losers are Kirk Melinda's boyfriend, Cameron Jenny's boyfriend, and Colen no one wants him obviously," Bella said causing him to flip her off and Edward glared at him.

"Come on we got to get going," Jenny said firmly.

"Where are you guys going?" Alice asked causing them to look at each other.

"Will know when we get there," Bella said causing her to kiss him firmly on the lips. He was shocked by one that she did that and that he controlled himself. "Bye," she said heading to the car.

The Cullen's watched them drive away and Edward looked back at Alice. "None of them have any bad intentions towards her I think she is going to be fine," Alice said.

"Come on we better get going," Jasper said ready to go hunting.

They had set up camp in a retreat near the moutains and started to have a good time. They brought batteries for their radio and started a fire. "Drink," Kirk said handing her a bottle of vodka.

"No not anymore," Bella said shaking her head.

"Good for you," Jenny said hugging her close. "That is why I got you some pop," she said softly.

"Come on football," Cameron said holding it up and they all stood up. The Cullen's were walking around hunting when they heard some laughter.

"What was that?" Jasper asked with his eyes still yellow.

"Its Bella and her friends," Alice said softly. "They are camping here not to far west," she said. "I think they are playing football," she said.

"I will never get that game," Emmett said shaking his head.

"It's a contact sport," Jasper said. "You hear me Edward contact," he said.

"Shut up Jasper," Edward said glaring back at him.

"Back to the hunt boys," Carlisle looking around the woods before spotting a bear.

They had stopped playing football for awhile and realized they needed some more liquor. "I am going to stay behind with these lovely ladies," Colen said causing Melinda and Bella to role their eyes.

"I'll be back baby," Kirk said causing her to roll her eyes. "Fine," he said waving his hand at her. Jenny, Cameron, and Kirk got into the car and drove off to find a liquor store.

"I am going to fine some wood," Bella said picking up her phone and then heading into the woods.

Melinda started feeling really tipsy from just one drink which confused her. She can usually drink a lot of liquor before she even feels dazed. "Here," Colen said taking the bottle out of her hand. "Lay down," he said softly.

"I don't feel so good," Melinda said laying back.

"You will soon," Colen said reaching for her pants.

They were feasting on the bear when all of a sudden Alice got a vision. "No," she said watching the image play before her.

"What is it?" Esme asked coming over to her.

"Its Bella and Melinda," Alice siad. "That guy Collen is trying to kill them," she said. "He's got a gun oh my god," she said before the vision disappeared.

"What?" Edward asked softly.

"One of them is going to get shot," Alice said with horror in her eyes.

"Lets go," Carlisle said heading in front of them and they went flying to her. Bella got tired of looking for wood and went back to camp.

"Get off her," Bella said pushing him back and picking up Melinda.

"What's going on?" Melinda asked as Collen went into his tent.

"Here," Bella said washing her face with water and she waked up with her. "Come on," she said helping her up and they went running before a bullet hit the tree.

"You stupid bitch!" Colen yelled out.

"What is going on?" Melinda asked leaning against the tree.

"Shhh," Bella said covering her mouth. "Stay here," she said picking up a piece of wood. She heard footsteps and went to hit him. Edward grabbed the piece of wood and she looked in shock.

"Who are you?" Melinda asked before slowly passing out.

"He's got a gun," Bella said causing him to wrap his arms around her.

"She's okay," Carlisle said as he examined the girl.

"I am gonna kill him," Edward said causing Bella to grab him.

"No," Bella said. "You can't show yourselve to anyone," she said. "We do this my way," she said firmly.

"What do we need to do?" Rosalie asked causing her to look at Melinda.

"Set her over there," Bella said. "Then get out of the way," she said firmly. Colen smiled when he saw her against the tree.

"She left you," Colen said coming over to her.

"Hey Colen," Bella said before hitting him with a branch and then picking up his gun.

"Nice," Jasper said looking down at him.

"I am good with baseball bats too," Bella said running over to check on Melinda.

"Btich," Colen said sitting up and Edward pushed him down.

"Shut up," Edward said glaring at him.

"I need to ask you something Colen," Bella said causing him to smirk.

"If I slipped you that ruffy," Colen said firmly. "Yeah and I had fun too," he said causing her to kick him in the face. She pulled out her cell phone and pressed saved on the recorder.

"He is going away for a long time," Bella said with tears sliding down her face.

"Are you okay?" Edward asked coming over to her and she nodded her head.

"MELINDA!!" Kirk yelled out.

"BELLA!" Jenny yelled out.

"You got to go I'll see you at home," Bella said causing him to nod. They of course didn't go home just watched from a distance. The local police arrested him and she came them the recording.

"I think we are just going to go home," Jenny said softly.

"Okay," Bella said. "I am going to call someone to come get me," she said softly.

"Are you sure?" Melinda asked holding her hand.

"Yeah," Bella said nodding her head. "Be safe," she said kissing her head.

"Bye guys," Kirk said getting into the driver side and holding Melinda's hand. They drove away and once they were out of sight the Cullen's came out.

"How did you know I was here?" Edward asked coming out with the others.

"I know you," Bella said. "You'd never would have left me with him even if he was knocked out," she said causing him to smile. "How was the hunting?" She asked.

"Good," Alice said with a smile. "How was the camp?" She asked.

"Not borning," Bella said causing them to laugh. "But I am really tired," she said.

"Uh Bella," Edward said. "You've met Carlisle but this is Esme," she said.

"She is beautiful," Esme said smiling at her.

"Thanks," Bella said. "Its always nice to hear that," she said in a soft voice and then they went home.
