Everyone left after the movie was over and I quickly went to bed hoping to avoid any awkwardness between Edward and me and worked for the most part. He only stopped in to tell me goodnight and if I needed anything not to hesitate in waking him up.

I buried myself deep in the comforter and Leah curled up at the foot of the bed like she had earlier. It felt really good to be able to sleep without the fear of someone hurting you. However I did lock the bedroom door and I slid a chair under the knob just to be sure I was safe.

I closed my eyes and within seconds I was asleep.

"Bella I was wondering if maybe you would go out on a date with me. It's cool if you don't want to we can still be friends but," I placed a hand over Jacob's mouth silencing him. "I would love to go out on a date with you Jacob. Beside we would end up doing whatever you had in mind even if I said no; we are best friends." He looked so happy as if he thought I would really say no to him. I had begun to have different feeling towards him and now I can see if they mean anything.


"Isabella Swan would you please do me the honor of being my wife?" Tears fell freely from my eyes and I knew Jacob was barely holding his back. I pulled his face to mine and kissed him then nodded yes. Then I saw that same look that spread across his face when he first asked me out, like he really thought I would say no. He is really foolish sometimes."


From this day on I take you, Isabella Swan, to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part. I love you Bella." Jacob's eyes were glossy from the tears he wouldn't let fall as we waited for the priest to pronounce us man and wife and when he did it was like no one else was there. Our lips met and I fire erupted between us that couldn't be put out.


"Bella, I think we should try to have a baby. We've been together for a long time and we are stable now and I just want to try, please Bella say you'll try." I had to admit he played his cards right. He pulled out the old scrapbooks of us as kids and we reminisced before he sprung this on me.

Were we ready for a child? Hell is anyone ever really ready for a child? The thing is I know I'm not ready but I can't tell Jacob that because it would break his heart, but I really didn't want to lie either.


"Who's the other guy?"

I wasn't sure if I was angry or shocked that he thought so little of me. "I never cheated on you Jacob. I care for you too much to do something like that to you and if you think I would do something like that then it's pretty obvious that you don't know me at all."

This time when I reached the door it was Jacob himself that stopped me. "No, you're not leaving me!" He grabbed both of my arms painfully and I screamed but it didn't stop him. "Jacob, you're hurting me!" His grip tightened I was now loosing feeling in my arms. "You don't get to leave me. We made vows to each other 'for better or for worse' and so what if times are hard for you right now, we will get through it."

His grip loosened as the anger in his eye started to die. "Please Bella I can't take it if you leave. I won't let you." He was now holding on to my waist burying his face in my stomach sobbing. "I have to go, Jacob. This isn't healthy for either of us. We both deserve happiness."


"No, if I let you go you will run." He then grabbed the chain from the bed and locked one end around the bed post and the other around a loop in what looked like a metal ring.

He looked into my eyes, "I'm sorry Bells, but this is what's best for us." Before I knew it the metal ring was around my neck and it had a lock to keep me from removing it, along with the lock to the chain. Once he was satisfied that I couldn't get away he removed the handcuffs and then rubbed the red spots on my wrists.

I jerked my arms out of his and moved as far away from him as the chain would allow. "Don't do that! Don't run from me, I'm your husband damn it!" "What do you expect me to do? I'm terrified of you." I was full out crying unable to stop. "You have me chained to our bed, like dog, after locking me in the basement like a prisoner."

He rose from the bed and came to me. I backed away but then the chain pulled painfully on my neck. "You will thank me for this one day and the collar and chain are temporary until I get the locks changed. Now let's go to bed." I shock my head not wanting to share a bed with him.

He balled his fists up and growled before ripping my shirt from my body and pulling my pants off of me leaving me in only my bra and underwear. "I have to go put the keys away when I get back you better be in bed, or else." Even though I was completely terrified by his words I would not willingly get in that bed.

I sat on the floor beside the bed knowing it was only a matter of time before he came back and caught me not in the bed. I heard he growl when he enter the room, "BELLA!" I pulled my knees up to my chest but was jerked up by the chain causing me to choke. I pulled on it to try and be able to breathe but since it was made of metal it didn't give at all. "I warned you."

Quickly Jacob had me pinned to the bed and cuffed my hands above my head to the headboard, again. Jacob ripped my underwear from my body and spread my legs positioning himself at my entrance. I knew this was going to hurt because I wasn't aroused at all. I screamed out in pain as he forced himself into me. Tears ran down my face and my body shook from the pain. With every movement he made the pain resurfaced and in many cases was amplified.

I saw the very familiar look cross his face that let me know he was about to come and I panicked knowing he wasn't wearing a condom and it had been over 24 hours since I took my last birth control pill. When he finally came he leaned down and bit my breast through my bra. He bit hard enough to draw blood and when he pulled away I could already see the faint pinkness forming on the white cup.

"Bella… Bella…BELLA!"

I shot up in the bed ready to beat Jacob if the opportunity showed its face but when I looked around I wasn't in our room. I heard banging on the door and Leah was barking and pawing at the chair in front of it. "Bella, please Bella open the door." I jumped from the bed and removed the chair and opened the door to see a panicking Edward.

He immediately pulled me into a bone crushing hug, "Oh my God, I thought…. Never mind what I thought are you ok?" I didn't trust my voice so I just nodded and sniffled. He grabbed my arm and took me into the bathroom where he grabbed a washcloth, wetted it, and then wiped the salty tears from my face.

I could see the questions behind his eye but he refused to speak them out loud. I grabbed the hand holding the cloth and pulled it form my face and held in both of my hands. "I had a bad dream, that's all." He looked up at me from under his eyelashes and I knew what he wanted to ask.

"You don't play fair Edward." He smirked but it quickly vanished. "It was like I was seeing each stage of mine and Jacob's relation play out before me. I remember the key moments in our relationship, when he first asked me out, when he proposed, when we talked about kids, when I told him I was leaving, and the first night he…" I took a deep breath not able to finish my sentence not that I needed to Edward seemed to know what I was going to say.

Edward growled under his breath but never said anything. "How did you know I was having a bad dream?" He sat down on the edge of the tub and looked down at his hands, "You were screaming. I figured it was just a nightmare, but then when I got down here your door was locked. I unlocked it with the master key but the chair was jammed up against it. I thought maybe he had, somehow, gotten in. That's why I was freaking out when you opened your door. You were screaming bloody murder Bella; I've only heard shit like that in scary movies, only this was way worse."

I closed my eyes and felt tears fall again. "Bella, I'll never ask you to talk about it, but I'll listen if you want me to. As Edward not Dr. Cullen; I know it's hard to believe but they really are two different people." I grabbed the washcloth from him and wiped the tears away.

"Thanks Edward." I yawned and he laughed at the squeaking noise I make when I yawn. "Is it OK if I sleep on the couch? I haven't really slept in a bed in a long time. I was too afraid of Jacob at night so I didn't sleep; I ended up sleeping during the day on the couch. I thought it might help keep the dreams away."

He smacked his knees before standing, "Of course Bella, this is your home now too so you can do whatever you want. You go ahead into the living room and I will grab you pillow and blanket." I tried to argue but he was already gone before I could.

I walked into the living room and after I was settled on the couch Edward said good night again and Leah joined me. She was staring at my feet and then back at my face. I figured since Edward put her on the couch earlier it would be OK so I patted the spot and she slept on my feet just like she would have at home. This time no dreams haunted me and I actually had a really good nights sleep.
