"We will get her back, Edward!" he promised. I nodded at him before closing the door.

The whole night was filled with Emmett's words and Bella's argument with Harry. I was trying to make it make sense but it never fit. It was like I was missing a huge piece of information.

Who needs sleep anyway! URG I could just get up now and go to school early . . . god I'm such a geek.

I had a quick shower that woke me up even more and got changed. Before leaving for school I wrote Emmett a note telling him I've already gone to school and that he isn't aloud to make toast (He managed to burn down half the kitchen last time) and quickly got into my car and drove to school.

What to do? I could go practise with Mrs. Lilac . . . even though I've been practicing the whole song for a month now. When she said it would be a great duet I almost fell out my seat, when she told me who she wanted me to sing with – I did fall out my seat.

I walked towards the music room. Avoiding the unused part of school – I hate that part of school!

Just as I got to the door I heard music and singing. I knew the song line by line and I would know that voice anywhere. I looked in the classroom to see Bella and Mrs. Lilac stood by a CD player and talking about how the notes go high at a certain point.

Bella started to sing again and I felt my mouth jump open. WOW! Mrs. Lilac turned her head to the door and saw me; I was too shocked to care. She turned away to face Bella she had a huge grin on her face.

I reluctantly tore my self away from watching Bella sing (I get to sing with her. Me!) And walked toward my first lesson. The day past all too slowly. Lessons dragged on and on, finally lunch came to rescue me.

I was sat on my normal table. Emmett and Jasper were keeping keen eyes on their girlfriends who have been smiling all day – it was getting a little scary. When ever I looked at them I couldn't help but laugh at their expressions.

"Okay. I can't take this any more. What is with you two?" Jasper asked after Rosalie and Alice started to do some odd dance.

"Nothing dear brother. Life is on the up!" Rosalie more or less sang at him. Alice nodded along with her whilst the rest of us just grunted and chose to ignore their happy moods.

The doors opened slightly and Bella slipped into the room. Rosalie's and Alice's mood seemed to change slightly. They were still happy but they seemed to be on edge.

Her eyes skimmed the cafeteria and a small smile landed on her face until she saw Harry and it disappeared completely. She walked slowly over to him and sat down next to him. You could almost feel the hate that jumped off him from my table.

Rose and Alice's mood had completely gone now. They were both watching Bella and Harry with fear in their eyes – it was making me jumping. They never watched them like this before.

"Where were you last night? How did you get new clothes?" Harry demanded. He slammed his fist down on the table. Bella didn't go home last night? She got new clothes? . . . Rose and Alice's odd mood . . . taking pizza to Rose's room . . . NO! She was there!

Everyone flinched at the sound. Of course the cafeteria was silent as everyone watched.

I turned to look at my sister. She quickly looked at Rose who both put on innocent faces.

"I walked around and I came across a new shop, they wanted someone to show off their clothes so they gave me them for free. I stayed out last night, I went to the library and I stayed there until it was time for school." Bella explained. Each word was said in a perfect clear voice. I didn't believe her but someone who maybe wasn't in love with her might.

Bella was in the house I was in last night! Why the hell was she there last night!

"Oh yeh. What's this shop called?" Harry demanded. An ugly sneer falling onto his disgusting face.

"Roic" Bella said simply. Alice and Rosalie quickly shoved their hands over their mouths to stop their giggling. Now it's clear – she was there last nigh. Roic? . . . Rose and Alice? Roic, that's clever.

"Roic? What sort of dumb ass name is that?" he asked. Bella shrugged. Harry seemed put-out for a second before bending his head down to Bella's ear. She stiffened as he said something to her. Alice and Rose both froze. What am I missing?

He stood up and dragged Bella up to. It was easy to see that she was scared. He put his hand on her stomach . . . is that some sort of romantic gesture? She flinched at the contact.

"No!" Rose and Alice whispered. Their voices covered in horror.

"Well, I and Bella are going to go . . . talk." He said to his table. Yeh right! He started to walk away but when he noticed Bella hadn't moved he spun around and slammed his hand into her stomach. She bent over clutching her stomach. She quickly shut her mouth.

Anger started to pound around me! How could he hurt her like that and in front of all these people?

Alice and Rosalie jumped up and started to get out of their seats. Bella slowly lifted an arm of her stomach and pointed at them before pointing at their seats. What the hell?

"Sit down!" she hissed. The pain she was going through was clear in her voice. When they didn't do as she asked she turned to look at them. Her brown eyes looked so dead but were silently pleading with them to listen to her. They nodded at her before reluctantly sitting down.

She slowly shook her head and straightened up. She looked directly at Harry. Harry had a huge smirk on his face. One day I'm going to smack that smirk of his face!

"Look who's been getting all friendly with her sisters again." He said to her. It was like it had a double meaning. She glared at him. She seemed to have made her mind up about something.

"Shut up! Do you want to go talk or what?" she yelled at him. His eyes flashed to Rose and Alice before back to her. This just seemed to make her angrier.

"Fuck Bella. You idiot!" Rose wimped.

"Why is she doing this now? We told her we could look after our self's. Rose he's going to hurt her!" Alice screamed-whispered to her.

WHAT!!?

My attention was pulled away from them when Harry dragged Bella out the room. I stared to panic

"What did you just say?" I said in a deadly voice to Alice.

Rose and Alice got up and stared to pull us all up. They both looked frantic.

"Please! We need to go . . . GET UP!" she screamed at us. We did as she said and they took of running towards the unused part of school . . . I hate this part of school.

What the hell is going on? Is Bella only with him because he threatened us? She put her self in that hell because he was going to hurt us!

The next few minutes were un-real. My body moved on it own. Bella was in danger . . . because of me. If I hadn't of been so stupid I would have realised. How could I have done this to her, I just let her go . . . she could get killed!

We all stopped dead in our tracks. Bella was against the wall with a split lip and her right side of her face had a huge red mark. Harry had one hand holding her arm in a death grip.

"Don't talk to me like that!" he spat into her face whilst shaking with anger. He was bright red and looked like he was about to pass out from lack of oxygen.

"I think, I of all people have a right to speak to you like that!" Bella spat back at him. This seemed to anger him more because he leaned forward in a threatening manner. Bella wrinkled her nose at the smell that came off him.

"So how was Mia last night? I'm sad I missed her." Bella asked in mock sadness. Is she trying to get hurt? Why is she so suicidal . . . why can't I move to go help . . . for god sakes body fucking move!

Harry turned redder (he looks stupid) and made an odd noise. Bella looked like she was trying to hold back laugher. Her whole body was shaking with silent laughter.

"Did you really just growl at me? Oh boy that's so . . . pathetic" she finally said before she started to laugh. This shocked Harry almost as much as it shocked me . . . where is all this courage coming from?

He bared her teeth at her, like he was some mad dog and lunged forward. His fist made for Bella's face. My heart stopped. Bella's eyes widened before she ducked right as Harry's hand connected with the hall behind her.

Harry started to almost cry as he cradled his hand to his chest. Bella looked shocked before her head turned to all of us. Alice and Rose were dancing in celebration of Bella not being hit whilst Jasper and Emmett looked almost as shocked as I felt.

"YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT!" Harry bellowed as he slammed Bella into the wall. He drew his hand back and punched her in her stomach which caused her to knock her head off the wall.

"NO!" Alice and Rosalie screamed as they ran forward. Just all Bella fell to the floor I was brought out of my shock trance. Bella's body was lifeless . . . she can't be dead!

What had he done to her?

Rosalie had Bella's head on her lap and was trying to stop the bleeding. Alice was next to her and lifting up her shirt to reveal two huge wounds and a smaller one. Her whole stomach was covered in blood. They were both sobbing trying to get Bella to talk or to do something.

Not Bella! Why Bella? Why is my Bella not moving? I felt as if my heart had been ripped out and smashed into a wall over and over. I don't care if I live till in 150 years old. Bella has to wake up! I don't want to think about my life without her being near me.

She started to breathe a little more evenly. I felt my self let out a gust of air I didn't know I've been holding.

"That fucking hurt!" she yelled. Oh thank god. My heart started to pound harder then it has in my whole life. She still hadn't opened her eyes yet but I didn't care. Her face was pulled into a grimace. Blood was trickling from her lip down her throat and her hair was sticking together with the blood. Her top was ruined and was stuck to her blood covered skin. She's never looked more beautiful to me . . . I can't believe I've almost lost her because of him!

Where is the basted!?

I tore my eyes off her and they landed on that creature who dared to lay his hands on her. He was leaning against the wall looking a little shocked. His eyes were only the smallest bit wider then normal. The rest of his face was in an old calm mask . . . did he not just see that he almost killed my Bella!?

I jumped from beside Bella quicker then humanly possible and grabbed his throat. I started to add pressure to his pulse point. I've never hated someone as much as I hate this thing in my hands right now.

"Edward. Let's take this-" Emmett pointed to the thing in my hands "-outside so that Bella won't have to see him when she opens her eyes!" Emmett whispered into my ears.

I nodded and moved my hand from his neck to his greasy hair. I clung to it as I dragged him outside. Emmett and Jasper storming silently next to me. It was like I wasn't a human anymore. I didn't need stupid things like food and water, all I needed was Bella to be safe and for her to stay safe.

Once we got outside, I threw him onto the floor. He tried to jump up but once he noticed that we were still here he sat down silently and glared at us. Jasper scoffs at his attempt to scare us. Emmett started to clench and unclench his hands. I had no idea what to do . . . I couldn't figure it out, why would he hurt her?

I looked around trying to clear my thoughts. We in the far end of the car park. It was completely empty apart from us. The thing was on the floor leaning back on his hands and trying to scare us. Emmett was crouched on the floor and looked like he was about to tackle the thing if he moved again. Jasper was stood next to me. His eyes never left the thing. His posture was stiff.

I looked directly at the vile evil creature. Making sure that my anger and hate was clear in my voice and eyes.

"Why?" I demanded. I saw Jasper jump at my voice.

"Why what?" he spat back. I stopped my self from lunging at his throat again.

"Why did you hurt her?" I finally managed to say. My voice not sounding like me at all. He seemed to be deep in thought. Emmett made a noise showing that he better hurry up. His eyes snapped from Emmett to me. He actually looked mad at me.

"I could ask you the same question!" He said simply.
