Enjoy! And please review! The reviews make me all warm and fuzzy inside! :-D
BPOV
Edward and I made the trek up to the third floor in silence. I just wanted to get my stuff and leave. We got to the door, and I unlocked it with shaking hands. I tried not to look around too much as we walked through the apartment and into the bedroom.
I quickly pulled a suitcase from the closet and we started throwing clothes into it. Edward started at the closet, folding things nicely as he placed them in, while I just yanked things out of the dresser and threw them into the bag. It was fairly big, and I did not have much of a variety of clothes, so we quickly got everything stuffed in it.
Edward took the bag and a couple paintings of mine down to the jeep while I searched for a box to throw other things in. When he came back, he was carrying a decent sized box that someone had thrown out. The box had a picture of a stereo system on the side, so I mentally thanked whoever had recently purchased it.
There was not much for Edward to do at this point, because he had no clue what was mine in the apartment and what was Jake's.
"Hey, do you think you can carry the television down? I bought that a couple months ago." The T.V. was not big, so I did not feel too bad about asking him to take it by himself.
"Yea, no problem." He moved quickly over and started unplugging things as I glanced around the living room.
I moved over to the shelves we had that were covered in movies and music. I started picking through the cases, pulling out mine. I heard someone walk into the room a minute later.
"That did not take long. I am almost done filling this box, and then we are just about done here." I said without turning around. I heard the front door shut and the click of the lock. When I turned around, my heart stopped.
"What are you doing, Bella?" Jake asked me.
"You should be at work."
"You can't leave me, Bella." I watched the pain cross Jake's face. I closed my eyes. "I made a mistake. An awful mistake. I feel horrible, and I will do anything I can to fix this."
I heard him take a step towards me, and my reflex reaction was to step back, away from him. I opened my eyes when I heard him sigh.
"I can't do this Jake. You did not just cheat on me once, you did it more and you did it with multiple girls. I cannot be with someone who thinks so little of our relationship." My voice was very soft, almost a whisper.
He took another step towards me, and my back hit the shelf as I stepped back, again.
"I love you, Bella. I can't live without you." His voice broke as he spoke.
We both heard as Edward came to the door again, he tried to open the door. When he found it locked, he knocked.
"Bella?" He called.
I looked back at Jake. He looked angry now.
"I guess you moved on fast." The acid in his words made me try to step back again, only to hit the shelf again.
"You don't know what you are talking about. I was actually in love with the man I was living with, or who I thought he was. I have nothing left to say to you, Jake. Just let me get my things and go." I started out glaring at him, but as I spoke, I softened. I missed wallowing.
"No!" Jake practically yelled. Edward heard him this time, and the knocking on the door became a pounding.
Jake took two long strides towards me and his hands wrapped around my arms.
"You cannot leave me, Bella. I can't live without you. I won't let you go without a fight."
I tried to push him away, but he was much stronger than I was. Suddenly, his lips crashed onto mine, and all movement stopped. I heard Edward trying to get in the door, still. My arms fell limp beside me, my eyes stared at Jake's closed ones, and my lips did not move. This was not the man I had fallen in love with.
Jake did not seem to want to accept my unwillingness, and his hands left my arms to run through my hair. I took the opportunity to shove him as hard as I could. He staggered back a little, in surprise. At the same time, the front door flew open and Edward rushed in.
I am not sure when happened next, because everything tilted to a funny angle then went black.
EdPOV
Bella asked me to take her tiny television down to the jeep, so I did. I wanted to be quick, the bad feeling I had was just getting stronger the longer we were here. So I practically ran downstairs, threw the T.V. in the back of the jeep and started back up. If my little toss damaged the T.V., I would just buy her a new one.
When I got back upstairs, the door was locked. Weird. I knocked a couple times and called out to Bella, but did not get a response. I figured she must want some alone time to say goodbye to the apartment.
I stood outside for a couple minutes, leaning against the wall. I decided to try and knock again, I was getting anxious. I was mid-knock when I heard a loud, very male "No!" from inside the apartment. I instantly recognized it to be the voice of Jacob, I remembered the husky sound of his voice when we met him that first time at the bar.
My knocking became pounding. I did not want Bella to have to deal with Jacob on her own. I realized I was going to have to basically break down the door to get in there. I stepped back really quick to send a text to Jasper. I was not sure what I would find when I got in there.
After the text was sent off, I started throwing my shoulder into the door. I felt it start to give way, and I threw myself into it one more time, as hard as I could. As the door flew open, I ran inside. Jake was standing right in front of Bella, his hands in her hair. Bella looked like she had a few tears running down her cheeks, then I watched as her eyes rolled back, and she fell to the ground. Jake just turned to face me, his shocked expression turned to anger.
"Get the hell out of our apartment!" He yelled at me.
"As much as I would love to, I am not leaving without her." I nodded towards the girl who was on the floor next to him. He turned and took a step towards me.
The anger was all that showed in his face now. I tensed myself for a fight.
APOV
Jasper and I were sitting in the living room of The Vagina Apartment – that was the name Emmitt had made up for mine and Rose's apartment. Especially with Bella moving in now, we had three girls and three guys. The Vagina Apartment, and The Penis Apartment. Emmitt Cullen is a truly odd person.
We were in the middle of watching Jasper's favorite movie – Saving Private Ryan – when his phone went off. He looked at who the text was from and sat up a little straighter.
"Who is it?" I asked. Whoever it was, I did not like them for disturbing peaceful Jazz-Ali time.
"Edward." He said as he flipped it open and read the text. He handed me the phone as he jumped up and ran out the front door. I watched him go in shock, then looked own at the phone.
Jake is here. He locked me out. Bring Emmitt.
I shut the phone and ran after Jasper to the other apartment. As I ran in the door, I saw Rose standing alone in the living room, looking just as confused as I did.
"Jake showed up." I said to her, just as Emmitt and Jasper came out of one of the bedrooms.
"Alice, can you drive a car over there? Rose can you run there with Em and I? We don't know where it is, and need to get there fast. I want more than one car there incase we need it." Jasper spoke quickly. We just nodded our heads and left the apartment. I ran back to mine and Rose's and grabbed a set of keys as they ran to the elevator.
I ran down the hall and watched as they stepped onto the elevator. I followed them in and we all stood silently as it went down. The tension was thick.
They got off on the first floor while I continued down to the garage. I ran across the parking lot, to the bright yellow Porsche that was sitting in its normal parking space. I had the keys in the ignition as I climbed in, ignoring my seatbelt all together.
I drove as fast as I could, but traffic in New York only allows so much speed. When I pulled up, I jumped out and ran up to the third floor and down to the opened door that I knew was the correct apartment.
I stepped inside and my heart lurched. Jasper and Emmitt were holding Jake and Edward away from each other. They each had a bit of blood on their faces, but what really caught my attention was Rose. She was kneeling over Bella, who was passed out on the ground. I rushed over to them.
"Is she O.K.?" I asked frantically.
"I think so. Looks like she just passed out."
I helped Rose lift Bella and we took her out into the hallway. It would be best if one of the guys carried her down the stairs. I glanced back into the apartment, but my attention was pulled away from the shouting guys as I heard a mumble come from Bella. Her head rolled back and forth slowly as she came to.
"Rose? Alice? What happened? Where am I?" She glanced at us, confused.
"We are in the hallway, Jake showed up while you and Edward were packing your things." Rose said softly.
"Are you O.K.?" I asked, just as quietly.
Bella nodded, then started to move to get up. Rose and I held her down.
"I need to finish getting my things." She argued with us.
"What do you need? I will get it for you." Her eyes settled on me as she nodded.
She nodded and told me she was just finishing getting her movies and cd's when Jake showed up. I ran inside and saw the large box, almost full, next to the shelf with their movies and music.
I noted that the cases on the shelf were a mess and some had fallen onto the floor. Running over, I quickly threw anything that looked like something she would like into the box and sealed it.
"Hey Emmitt, can you carry this box down to the jeep?" I asked the bear who was holding back his brother. He nodded and let go of Edward's arms.
"Where is Bella?" Edward asked. I lead him out to the hallway.
He kneeled down next to her.
"Bella, are you O.K.?" His voice dripped with concern for her. She nodded and we all watched as Emmitt carried the box out of the apartment.
"Can you walk?" Rose asked her. I helped her stand and she started to take a step but the dizziness seemed to take over and she fell into Edward. He quickly scooped her up. He and Rose started towards the stairs as I walked back into the apartment.
Jasper was still holding Jacob back and we waited for everyone else to be outside before he and I left Jake alone in the living room. As we were leaving, I turned back. Jasper was ahead of me, so he did not notice me stop.
"If I see you around her again, I will kill you myself. I saw the bruises forming on her arms where you grabbed her. Do it again, I dare you." I turned and left before he could respond.
