Here's chapter 10 hope you enjoy!
(Bella's POV)
I didn't go to school for the next few days. Renee wouldn't let me. Not that I was complaining, but I think Renee and Phil were starting to think something was really wrong with me. Occasionally I could see them whispering and glancing at me when they thought I wouldn't notice. I could hardly hope for them not to notice something was wrong with me though. I always insisted that the windows remained locked if they weren't here. I made sure that the door was locked all the time and I never answered the phone, or the door whenever someone knocked. I stayed in my room, unless Renee or Phil were downstairs. I knew it was silly but it made me feel a little bit safer.
It was Thursday today and since there was only two days left before the holidays Renee had suggested that I should go back to school so I can say goodbye to everyone before they all leave to go on their holidays. I agreed eventhough I knew I would bump into Jacob. I knew that it would happen though and I would rather it be sooner then later so I can just get it over with. Besides I knew that if I wanted any longer I would loose the nerve to stand up to him.
I found myself in front of my mirror, staring at my reflection. Today I had decided to wear my deminum shorts with a striped vest top. I went over my hair with my straighteners and I put on my make-up. I put a bit more then I usually would, as I wanted to show Jacob that he couldn't control me anymore, that I wouldn't change the way I looked or what I wear for him. I left the house nervously. I got into my car and started the journey to school. I had text Angela to let her know that I would be coming to school today and she had said that they would meet me in the usual spot. Hopefully, this time, I would get to the table before Mike- or Jacob- could get to me.
Too soon for my liking I pulled up into the car park and parked my car, making sure it was away from Jacob's car. I stepped out anxiously and looked at the ground as I made my way to our table. Before I reached there I felt someone's stare on my back. Already knowing who's it was, I turned around to face him. He glowered at me before looking to the left of me. He stood up and made his way over. I turned back around and tried to walk to the table, which was a few feet away from me. I didn't make it. Mike had managed to stop me. He was, no doubt, what got Jacob's attention. 'Sorry Mike I can't talk to you right now,' I said quickly before pushing past him. I didn't get very far before someone stopped me by grabbing hold of my wrist. I tensed before relaxing. It wasn't his hold. 'I only wanted to ask you if your ok,' he said. I looked at him, while pulling my arm out of his grip. 'I'm fine,' I said quickly. He went to open his mouth but closed it again. I looked at him with a confused look placed on my face but as soon as I felt a strong cold arm wrap around my waist I understood. I tried to move from his grip and he wouldn't let me, instead he tightened his grip so I couldn't move easily. 'Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend Bella?' His cold voice asked. Mike looked between us. 'So your Jasper?' He asked, giving Jacob a look.
I glared at him. How could he compare Jasper to Jacob! Jasper would never even think about doing the things Jacob has done. 'Jasper?' His cold voice sneered. 'I don't think so. I'm Jacob.' He prodded Mike in the chest before continuing, 'And your going to stay away from her, unless you want to answer to me,' he said threatening. Mike glared at him again, 'If Bella wants me to stay away from her I will, but I'm not going to stay away from her just because you tell me to.'
'Mike!' I hissed. He shouldn't try to stand up to Jacob. He'll only get hurt.
Before Mike could reply Angela, Becky, Connor and Ben came up to us.
'Is everything ok?' Becky asked, while Connor and Ben eyed Jacob who still had his arm tightly around my waist.
'Fine,' Jacob grunted.
'Bella, we should be going to lesson now,' Angela said. Mike turned around and walked off, Jacob was watching him.
I nodded, before trying to get out of Jacob's grip. 'We'll talk later,' he muttered so quietly I struggled to hear him, before releasing my waist. I felt his eyes on me the whole time I was walking into the building.
He watched me throughout the day. The only time when he didn't watch me was in English and Maths as he wasn't in them classes. He watched me the most at break and lunch where Angela noticed him staring at me.
'Why is that guy watching you?' she whispered. I tried to play innocent, which meant that I had to look around to see who she was talking about, even if I already knew. I met his eyes. They seemed to glisten threatengly. I turned back to her. 'No idea,' I said. We had managed to grab Connor's and Ben's attention. They looked at him. 'Do you want us to go and see what his deal is?' Connor offered. I shook my head. 'Don't worry about it.'
'You sure?' Ben asked.
I nodded, 'Positive.'
They turned back to their convosation with Leanne and Becky. Angela however, kept glancing between me and Jacob. I looked down at the table to avoid her gaze.
We made our way to P.E, I could hear heavy footsteps close behind us and new that they were his. Ben and Connor left us outside the girl's changing rooms and I quickly made my way inside before Jacob could reach me. We got changed and made our way to the gym. The boys weren't there yet so we sat down to wait for them. I made sure there was other people sitting around me so Jacob wouldn't be able to sit near me. Leanne, Becky and Angela kept sharing glances, which I preteneded not to notice. Becky looked at me and opened her mouth. She didn't say anything though as we heard shouting coming from the corridor leading up to the gym. I could recongnised those voices anywhere. Jacob. Ben. Connor. We stood up and ran out into the corridor. Jacob was standing in front of Ben and Connor and was clearly threatening them, only there were threatening him back. No-ones ever done that before and I'm sure the result of it wouldn't be good. Angela and Leanne rushed forward and tried to pull their boyfriends away from Jacob. At the sight of them Jacob looked up at me. His eyes were pitch black. He was practically quivering with anger. Then he mouthed the words to me that have haunted my dreams- You belong to me Isabella.
(Angela POV)- starts from the morning
I was sitting next to Ben at the table with Becky and Connor sitting opposite us. We were waiting for Bella to turn up, she had sent me a text this morning saying that she was coming in.
'Hey what do you think is wrong with Bella?' Becky asked.
'I dunno,' Connor responded, 'But have any of you thought that she seemed to go weird right after that new kid came?'
Becky and Ben looked skepitcal.
'Yeah but that could just be a coincidince,' Ben said.
'How would he even know Bella anyway?' Becky added.
I looked across the car park at Jacob. He was glancing between the car park and our table, with a scowl fixed onto his face. I thought back to Monday. Bella was alright until our science lesson started, when Jacob came in and introduce himself.
'Because he came from Forks like Bella did,' I whispered.
Becky looked shocked for a moment. 'So what if he did? It's not like he's done anything to her while he's been here.'
I looked back over at Jacob as did Ben. I watched as he stared towards the car park and then glance quickly at Mike. I looked to where he was looking. Bella had arrived. I looked at her terrified face.
'I think we should go over to her,' I said.
Ben nodded.
'Why? She's coming over here anyway,' Becky responded.
I watched as Jacob stood up and made his way towards Bella. Mike got to her first. We watched as she said something briefly to Mike before walking past him. He grabbed her wrist and stopped her from walking away. Bella seemed stressed as her and Mike spoke and I knew why. Jacob was about to reach them.
'I really think we should go and get her,' I said, my eyes not leaving her.
The others nodded and we stood up. We started to approach anxiously, as Jacob had just reached them and wrapped his arm around Bella. Something clicked.
'So Bella who did you go out with before Jasper came into your life and swept you off your feet?' Becky asked. I watched Bella blush at the mention of Jasper. I smiled. She was so in love with him. 'Well I went out with Jacob and before that I went out with Callum,' She said. I was sure she only mentioned Callum to draw the attention away from this Jacob guy. I got the feeling she wasn't comfortable talking about him. 'What happened with Callum?' Leanne asked. 'He's like a clone of Mike Netwon but maybe less annoying,' She said. Me and Becky laughed. 'And what about Jacob?' Becky asked. She gulped. 'It just didn't work out,' She said quickly. I knew that my feeling was right. She didn't want anyone to know about her relationship with him. I saw that Becky was going to ask more on the matter so I quickly distracted her.
This was Jacob. It made sense. We saw Jacob prod Mike in the chest so we picked the pace up a bit. As we were approaching them I saw Bella's face flush with worry, 'Mike,' she hissed. We stood to the side of Mike and Jacob, I saw that Jacob looked even angerier then before.
'Is everything ok?' Becky asked, while Connor and Ben eyed Jacob who still had his arm tightly around Bella.
'Fine,' Jacob grunted.
'Bella, we should be going to lesson now,' I said, wanting to get her away from Jacob as soon as possible. Mike turned around and walked off, Jacob watching him.
She nodded at me, before trying to get out of Jacob's grip. I saw him mutter something before letting Bella go. We quickly walked into the building but not before I glanced back and saw him watching Bella. While we walked to class I was wondering what he could have done to her to make her react like this.
We all watched Bella throughout the day. The only times she seemed wasn't really tense and uncomfortable was in English and Maths- the only lessons where Jacob wasn't present. We were all worried about her and I knew that we would have to talk to her and I knew it wasn't going to be easy.
We were sitting at our table in the canteen. I was watching Jacob stare at Bella. It was really unnerving the way he was staring at her. I decided to ask her about it.
'Why is that guy watching you?' I whispered, trying not to catch the other guy's attention.
She looked around to see who I was talking about, I knew it was just an act.
'No idea,' she replied. We had managed to grab Connor's and Ben's attention. They looked at him.
'Do you want us to go and see what his deal is?' Connor offered. She shook her head.
'Don't worry about it.'
'You sure?' Ben asked.
She nodded, 'Positive.'
They turned back to their convosation with Leanne and Becky. I, however kept looking at Jacob and Bella, trying to understand what his deal was. Even if they did go out once it didn't mean that he had to start terrorising her here. And that was clearly what he was doing. She was terrified of him. It was written all over her face. I noticed that Bella was staring down at the table to avoid my gaze.
We made our way to P.E, I could hear heavy footsteps close behind us. I knew by Bella's reaction that he was following us. I looked at Ben and Connor who then looked at Bella. They noticed how stiffly she was walking, obviously she was very uncomfortable. They left us outside the girl's changing room and Bella rushed inside. I knew it was to aviod seeing Jacob.
'What's going on with her?' Ben muttered as Jacob walked past. I watched him the entire time. He shoot us a glowering look before entering the changing rooms himself. 'There's your answer,' I whispered before going into the changing rooms, with Becky and Leanne following me. We got changed and made our way to the gym. The boys weren't there yet so we sat down to wait for them.
I watched as Bella looked around us. I looked at Becky and Leanne and saw that they were just as worried as I was. Becky looked at her and opened her mouth. She didn't say anything though as we heard shouting coming from the corridor leading up to the gym. It was Ben and Connor and some unknown voice, although I had a pretty clear idea of who it was. We stood up and ran out into the corridor. Jacob was standing in front of Ben and Connor and was clearly threatening them, only there were threatening him back. Me and Leanne rushed forward and tried to pull Ben and Connor away from Jacob. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Jacob look up at Bella. His eyes were pitch black. He was practically quivering with anger. Then he mouthed some words to her that I only just caught- You belong to me Isabella.
We managed to drag Ben and Connor away from Jacob, with great difficulty. We went past Becky and Bella. Becky seemed to be trying to calm a very scared Bella down. I wanted to go and comfort her as well but instead I dragged Ben into the gym, knowing that Bella would probably appreciate that more as I could tell she was terrified of Jacob hurting us. The look on her face when she saw Ben and Connor arguing with him was enough for me to tell.
'I don't get what that guy's deal is!' Connor exclaimed angerily.
Leanne rubbed his arm soothingly.
Becky came in with her arm around a very white, trembling Bella.
They sat down, with Becky's arm still around her shoulders. I looked at Bella and noticed she was close to tears.
'What happened?' Becky asked, looking at Ben and Connor.
'That guy's a nutcase!' Connor hissed. I noticed Bella look down guiltily.
'We were just about to come in here and he stopped us by calling our names,' Ben said, 'We stopped and then he started shouting at us. Telling us we weren't allowed anywhere near Bella.'
'When we told him that we were friends with Bella and that wasn't going to change unless Bella wanted us to leave her alone he started making threats about you guys.'
'We told him that unless he stayed away from us and Bella then we would get the police involved. He just laughed and started threatening us.'
Leanne and Becky gasped. I knew that he would do something like that from Bella's strange reactions. I looked at her. She had tears running down her face.
We sat out while everyone else did P.E. I noticed that Jacob wasn't anywhere to be seen. I think Bella noticed as well, as she looked around the gym and started shaking worse then ever.
At the end of the lesson I quickly asked Becky to get mine and Bella's things. She gave me a questioning look before leaving, as did the others. Bella looked up at me in surprise. I waited until the others had left the gym before moving next to her. I took her hand a gave her a reassuring smile.
'I'm going to take you home,' I said.
I saw her face flash with uneasiness before she slowly nodded. We didn't say anything while Becky was getting our things. She came back quickly and handed us our stuff.
'Thanks,' I head heard Bella mumble.
Becky looked at me questionly. I shook my head, Bella couldn't see it as she was staring at the floor.
'I'm going to take Bella home,' I said.
Becky nodded before pulling Bella into a hug. She whispered something and Bella nodded in response.
Becky quickly hugged me before leaving.
'You ready to go?' I asked Bella. She nodded.
We walked out of the building in silence. I was glad I had decided to go home with Bella as I saw Jacob leaning against his car, looking for someone. Bella no doubt. He spotted us. He glared at me, pure hatred showing on his face. I glared back at him as he got into his car and drove off. As I got into Bella's car I knew that I wouldn't be able to leave her alone just in case he followed us.
I pulled up at her house and followed her into her house. I locked the door behind me and I went into the living room. Bella was already sitting down on the sofa crossed legged facing me. I sat down opposite her. 'Thanks for doing this,' she whispered.
'It's ok Bella, I really don't mind.' I responded.
She sighed. 'I guess you want to know what happened in Forks?' she asked.
I could tell how unwilling she was to tell me.
I hesitated before answering. 'I only want to know if you want to tell me. I'm worried about you. We all are. I know Jacob did something really bad to you, when you were together, for you to act like this.'
She looked up at me shocked.
'Don't worry. I'm sure I'm the only one that has connected everything together,' I reassured her.
She looked slightly reassured.
'I want to tell someone,' she whispered, 'but please don't tell the others. I want to do that. I just don't think I'm ready for everyone to know yet.'
I nodded and waited for her to start.
' Me and Jacob started to go out 9 months before I came here. Everything was great at first. He was really nice, our relationship was great. I really liked him. I even thought in time I would love him,' she laughed humourlessly. 'Everyone was happy for us. Emmett and Charlie were just glad I was going out with him and not some other random guy they didn't know and didn't approve of. After a few months though things started to change. He didn't like me going out without him knowing. He wouldn't let me hang out with people he didn't like. He stopped me from wearing clothes that he thought were 'too revealing'. It got worse pretty quickly. He made me stop talking to Kay- my best friend. I knew he was jealous of our friendship and I tried to tell him that we were only friends, Kay even had a girlfriend at the time, but he wouldn't listen. After Kay he stopped me from hanging out with Rosalie, my brothers girlfriend, and Alice and Edward, my brothers best friends. I wasn't even allowed to talk to Emmett and he was my brother.' She stopped for a moment. Tears were rolling down her face. I felt so sorry for her. She had to deal with so much.
I waited in silence for her to continue. 'If I did anything that he didn't like he would beat me. About a week before I came here he had beat me so hard,' her voice started to break, 'I called Kay, asking him to help me. I blacked out while I was on the phone to him. Luckily he came- I wouldn't blame him if he didn't, I was a terrible friend to him. I woke up in hospital. I'd never seen Emmett looking so broken before. It hurt to know that I had hurt him so much. After Kay told me what Jacob had done to Jasper, I knew that I had to leave and Kay helped me get away.' She stopped talking. Tears were now falling heavily down her face.
Tears were gently falling from my eyes to. I wiped them away and grabbed her hand.
'Bella, we won't let that happen again,' I said softly.
'You won't be able to stop it,' she whispered, brokenly.
'We'll do everything we can,' I promised.
'It won't be enough,' she replied dully, 'don't you see what he's like!'
She stood up abruptly and turned to look at me. 'Look at what he did to Mike! To Ben and Connor!' she shouted. 'He always gets what he wants in the end. He doesn't care who he hurts or what he has to do to get it!'
I looked down. I understood entirely what she was saying but we wouldn't give up without a fight.
'I'm sorry,' she said, her voice filled with remorse. 'I know I shouldn't be taking this out on you. I just feel so guilty. If I hadn't come here, you guys wouldn't be in danger.'
I realised now why she looked so guilty after Jacob had threatened us. She felt responsible. 'Bella this isn't your fault,' I whispered.
'You wouldn't have been threatened if I didn't come here,' she said sofly.
She sat back down and turned on the TV. She didn't say anything else and I took her lead by not saying anything either.
I knew she wasn't watching TV. I wasn't either. I was thinking over what she had said to me. Jacob was even more dnagerous then what I realised but instead of it scaring me it made me more determind to protect Bella. I knew that the others would feel the same as well. I heard Bella's soft breathing and looked over. She was asleep. I grabbed a blanket that was in the chair and draped it over her. I heard the door open and I spun around quickly. It was only Bella's mum.
'Angela what are you doing here?' She looked confused.
'Bella was upset at school. I didn't want to leave her on her own.' I responded. She nodded while glancing at Bella's sleeping form. She turned and walked into the kitchen, becokoning me to follow.
'I'm glad you're here,' she said, 'She's been acting really strange lately. It's nice to know that one of her friends is here with her,' she admitted. She started moving around the kitchen, pulling out ingredients.
'You'll stay with her tonight?' she asked.
'If you want me to.'
'I would appreciate it.' I nodded, 'I'll need to let my mum know though,' I said.
'Of course! You can call her know. The phone is in the hallway.'
I walked out into the hall and dialed my home number. I told my mum I was staying at Bella's, before going back out into the kitchen.
I helped Renee make dinner and pretty soon we were all sitting around the table eating. Phil had come home about an hour after Renee had and I could tell he was just as worried about Bella as Renee was. I wanted to tell them about Jacob but I couldn't. It had to be Bella's decision.
After dinner me and Bella went to get changed into our pjamas- Bella had given me some of hers to wear. We grabbed two duvets and pillows and made our beds in her living room.
We spent most of the night watching dvd's and we fell asleep pretty quickly.
I didn't sleep so well as Bella kept muttering in her sleep. I guess I knew who she was dreaming about.
I couldn't believe what he had done to her. I heard a small noise from outside the house. I stood up, walked to the window and pulled back the curtain slightly. I could make out a silohette standing against a car parked in the street. He was here. As I stood there watching him I knew that he was capable of almost anything, and I knew as soon as I watched him look at Bella that we would have a huge fight in front of us.
