Previously on Midnight Skies:
"Well he saw we were together so he is going to assume that I will meet up with you so it's better to leave you." I explained hoping he'd buy the story.
"I suppose you're right. How about you guys take the car and we'll run back and call you when it is safe." I nodded and he pulled the car over to the side of the road. He, Rose and Emmett left the car after telling me to be safe several times. I climbed into the front seat and began speeding off into the distance after shedding a few tears about leaving Edward.
Chapter Nine
I continued driving not really caring where I was going but just wanting to get away from James. Although I was worried about Edward with him, hopefully he will not find out anything and want to hurt him. I don't think I could take Edward getting hurt.
"You seem to be thinking intently, what's on your mind Bella?" Alice asked from the backseat, Jasper beside her looking at me with concern.
"OH I'm just recalling old memories," I waved my hand dismissively praying that they would accept the explanation but I caught Jasper glance at me suspiciously.
"So where are we headed?" Alice asked peering at a sign nearby. It read: Montana Airport 10 miles. I must really be speeding if we are in Montana already. I pushed the pedal down harder hoping we could fly away from my mess I left behind. But unfortunately my family is back there and I have to save them.
"How about we wait at the airport for the call then if it is not safe just take a plane ride?" Jasper suggested talking more so than usual, Alice nodded her head in agreement obviously seeing a good outcome.
We made it to the airport in less than 5 minutes with my speeding. We put the car in short term parking and made our way to the waiting area. I sat down on a chair and started fiddling impatiently for the call.
After 20 minutes of fiddling with anything I could find Jasper placed a calming arm on my shoulder to increase his power. I felt oddly relaxed when my pocket vibrated and Jasper released me and all my anxiousness came back to me.
"Hello," I spoke into the phone quickly.
"OH Bella I'm so glad you're safe. James is nearby but not close enough for me to read his thoughts but before they were screaming, he wants to kill you. I think we need to attack him." I shook my head, it is too hard there are three of them; one of us could get hurt.
"I don't want anything to happen to you Edward I couldn't let you risk your life," I felt guilty enough about not telling him the truth about the situation.
"Bella we won't get hurt, remember we are impervious to harm," He reminded me but I just continued shaking me head even though he could not see me.
"No, Edward I couldn't live if one of you got hurt." I pleaded with him, but he seemed resolved on this.
"Put me on to Jasper, Bella please." I gave into him and put Jasper on the phone. They talked but I just tuned them out. Alice put her hand on my shoulder and I smiled but it was not real. I could not smile; it hurt too much to think about the future again.
Author's Note: I know you all want to kill me for not updating in ages and I am so so so sorry but here it is, it is short because I have been preoccupied with school and work. But I will try to update soon I promise.
