Chapter 8

BPOV

Once Edward left I got out the Christmas ornaments and started decorating our apartment. I saw that most of them were from Emmett and Jasper as Christmas presents to Rose and Al. After a few hours of hanging garland, decorating the tree and putting up lights I was finished with nothing to do while Edward was at work.

Finally, Alice and Rose got home from God knows where.

"Woah, how long did this take, Bella?" Alice asked as she stopped suddenly in the doorway.

"I don't know, three hours?" I wasn't too sure how long it took.

"Goodness, Bells!" Rose exclaimed.

"When did my brother leave?" Alice asked. (Sorry forgot to put in that Alice and Edward are siblings. Oops!)

"Just before I started decorating."

"Oh." Alice paused, thinking. After a few seconds of silence, excitement lit up her face, "I HAVE A GREAT IDEA!" she shrieked.

"Calm down," I giggled, "What is this great idea of yours?"

"Alright, I think that we should have a Christmas party!"

"When?"

"Tonight, when else?" she said matter-of-factly.

"How are we going to get ready in time?" I said in that same tone.

"Excuse me, your talking to Alice the party girl. I can get a party ready at the snap of my fingers."

"What about guests?"

"I've got that taken care of," she said with a wicked grin. "Alright, ladies! Let's get started!"

After another hour of putting the finishing touches to our apartment we moved onto our attire. Alice pulled out three little red outfits for us to wear.

"What is that?" I asked.

"This, Bella, is your outfit."

"I can't fit in that!"

"Yes you can, and you will. Now go put it on."

"Fine," I mumbled. I went in the bathroom and to my surprise the outfit actually fit me. It was a red dress that came just below the butt and had red tights with a white fur "coat". (On profile).

"Someone's looking sexy! Wait until Edward sees you tonight!"

"Can I put something else on? I feel so exposed!" I complained.

"No!" Alice scolded. "You look hot!"

Alice and Rose left to go put their outfits on. When they came back they started pulling at my hair and putting makeup on me. By the time I was done I looked in the mirror and, I have to admit, I did look really good.

"We look amazing!" I exclaimed.

Alice, Rose and I headed down stairs. No sooner did we get down stairs there was a knock on the door.

"Coming!" Rose yelled.

Rose opened the door and about ten people came in. Alice started the music and turned on the party lights and turned off the normal ones and we started partying. After about forty more people came Alice, Rose and I finally opened the door to see our men.

"Hey guys! C'mon in!" we yelled.

Once Edward was inside I pulled him into the middle of the living room so we could dance.

"Bella! What the hell are you wearing!?" He was obviously angry.

"Don't you like it?" I asked giving him an innocent look.

"Yes, but I don't want anyone but me seeing you like this."

"Don't worry. I don't want to be with anyone but you," I said simply.

"I love you, Bells."

"Love you too. Now come on! Let's dance!"

We started dancing to All-American Rejects' song Gives You Hell.

We danced for hours and hours. When there were only a few people left we stopped realizing that we were both sweating really bad.

"Finally you guys stopped dancing. Hey, Edward! Give my best friend back!" Alice yelled over the music.

"You can have her later. Right now she's my girlfriend." Edward shot back.

"Hey! I'm right here! I can be both!" I laughed. I'm going to get a beer. You guys want anything?"

"No." they both said.

I walked into the kitchen to get my beer and turned around and was met with a hard chest. I stumbled backwards, startled.

"Christ!" I mumbled.

"Christ, I don't remember that word being in your vocabulary." That voice only came from one person, Jacob.

The music was turned off by now and I dropped my beer and it shattered spraying glass and the liquid all over.

"Bella?" I heard Edward call. He started walking into the kitchen. "Bella are you all right?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Just ran into the past."

"What do you—" but he didn't finish his sentence when he saw Jacob standing in front of me.

"ALICE!" he roared.

"What's wrong?" she peeked into the kitchen and her eyes went big when she saw Jacob.

"Did you invite Jacob here?"

"No, why would you even think that?"

"Guys, I'm right here." Jacob pointed out.

Edward turned to him. "Leave. Now!"

"What if I don't want to? I told you that I wanted to get my fiancé back."

"Jacob Black! I am not your fiancé!" I spat.

"Bells, shut up."

"Jake," I said trying to stay calm. "Get out of my apartment. And get out of my life and stay out."

"Sorry, baby, I can't do that," he said calmly. Then he leaned in and kissed me. I tried pushing him away but he was too strong. His hands had a strong grasp on my face holding me perfectly still. Finally he pulled away.

"What the hell was that!?" Edward and I said in unison.

"Showing you how much you missed me and how much you love me," Jacob said to me, completely oblivious to Edward.

"Get the hell out! Now!" Edward shouted.

"What if I don't?" Jacob asked as he reached into his pocket.

"Edward! He has his gun with him!" I said. I forgot that he worked for Charlie and carried his gun with him everywhere.

"Shut up, baby," Jacob said pulling his gun completely out.

"Jake, put the gun away," I said calmly.

Quickly Jacob grabbed me by the arm and held the gun to my temple.

"Let me past, Cullen, or I shoot," Jacob said angrily to Edward.

Edward looked at me to see if I knew if he was serious or not. I nodded, shaking heavily. Hesitantly, Edward stepped to the side. Jacob walked away pulling me behind him.

"Call the police," I mouthed to Edward. He nodded.

"Jake, let go! I'm not going anywhere." I pleaded.

"Not a chance, baby," he said. "I'm going to show you how much you really love me when we get back to the reservation."

If I was worried before, I was terrified now.

Once we were in Jacob's Volkswagen Rabbit, we pulled out fast. I felt like I was in the car with Edward because Jacob was going so fast.

"Jesus, Bella! How did you get yourself into this mess?" he asked.

"What mess Jake? I was happy before you came into my life again."

"You're so different now. What happened to you?"

"You happened, Jake. You don't know what you did to me when you left."

"I left for your own good and you know it."

"Dammit! Jake! You left to go off with that Leah Clearwater! And you know it!"

"You don't know why I left!"

"Why Jake? Why did you leave?"

"I left, well, because…Bells I don't know why I left. I guess jealousy got the best of me. You and Cullen were best friends and I thought that you were seeing him behind my back. I didn't want to marry someone who was cheating on me."

"I would never do that and you know it! I'm seeing him now! When you left I forgot who he was! I just realized about two months ago that I knew him!"

"We're here," he stated, changing the subject.

"I'm not getting out," I said, folding my arms across my chest.

"I will drag you out if I have to, now get out of the car!" he spat.

"Fine, just don't grab me again."

"Deal."

I got out of the car in full pout mode. I was terrified to think of what Jacob had in mind to make me "realize how much I really love him".

"Get inside. I'll be there in a minute."

I went inside to be greeted by Jacob's dad, Billy.

"Well, hello Bella," he said. "What a surprise! I didn't think I'd ever see you around here again."

"Believe me, Billy. I love you like my own father but I was forced by Jake into coming here."

"Why?"

"He's jealous that I'm over him and in love with someone else."

"Bella?" Jacob called.

I gulped and Billy obviously heard because he was looking at me questionably.

I walked into the kitchen where Jacob's voice came from and Jacob had some rope in his hand.

"J-Jacob. W-what are you d-doing with that?" I stuttered.

"Time for you to pay for what you put me through." He grabbed me by the arm roughly, and nearly dragged me up the stairs. He threw me onto his bed and tied me hands behind my back.

"Jacob! Why are you doing this?"
"You broke my heart, Bella. I just need one more thing before I kill you and Edward both."

"What?!" I asked shocked by his words.

Jacob then took my tights off, my panties following immediately.

"Jacob! Don't do this!"

"Shut up, bitch!" he yelled.

Jacob ripped my dress off and cut the straps to my bra then took it off, leaving me fully exposed on his bed. He then started to take his clothes off.

"I wouldn't want to get you pregnant and then kill you, it wouldn't be fair to the baby," he said forcing my mouth open and nearly shoving two tablets of birth control down my throat.

Following the pills he put his cock into my mouth, moving in and out at a steady pace. I let out a few shrieks as he was doing this.

"Come on, baby. I know you like this. I promised I'd be the one to take your virginity and now I'm making that promise come true." He said pulling himself out of my mouth.

"You never said that, and I never said I wanted you to take my virginity! Get away from me! HELP! SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!" I screamed.

"Nobody can hear you," he said positioning himself at my entrance. All of a sudden I felt him get pushed off of me.

"Bella!" Edward called.

"Edward!" I cried in relief. I didn't notice that tears were streaming down my face. Edward quickly untied me and wrapped the blanket around my body. He cradled me into his chest and rocked back and forth.

In the background I heard Charlie's voice.

"Jacob, I am stripping you of your badge, and your going to jail," he turned to Edward and started talking to him. "Edward, take Bella back home."

"Yes, sir," Edward said. He picked me up in the sheet and picked up my clothes then took me in the bathroom to dress me. Once I was dressed he picked me up again and carried me out to his Volvo. I was still sobbing heavily when he put me in the car. He quickly went over to the other side and got in.

"It's all right love, no one is going to hurt you anymore. I'm here. You're safe." He soothed.

I leaned on Edward's shoulder the whole drive home. When we got back to the apartment, Rose and Alice were waiting for us. As soon as they heard the door open they jumped up and ran over to us.

"Bella!" they both called.

"Shh, she's had a rough night. I'm going to take her upstairs and then I'll come back out and talk to you guys." Edward said.

Edward carried me into my room and laid me down.

"I'll be right back, love. Five minutes. I promise."

Those five minutes went past slowly and finally Edward came back. He lay down next to me, embracing me in his arms and started singing my song that he wrote before my wedding, our lullaby. In Edward's arms, I cried myself to sleep.
