Here I am - this is me
There's nowhere else on earth I'd rather be
Here I am - it's just me and you
And tonight we make our dreams come true- HereIam-BryanAdams
"Alice stop! Let me go!" I yelled as she reluctantly let me go. Then I ran to Edward's room and walked inside. There to my horror was a naked Emma and a topless Edward lying in his bed.
Bella's POV
"Edward, what the hell is going on? What are you doing with her?" I managed to ask even though my heart was breaking into a million of pieces. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I couldn't believe Edward would do something like this to me. Why would he cheat on me? Why would he sleep with Emma? I felt sick and nauseous as though someone was squeezing my insides together. The pain in my chest was so overwhelming I thought I was going to pass out.
"Bella…please…it's not what you think…please Bella believe me. You know I would never sleep with anyone but you. You know I love you. Don't you?" Edward said in a sincere voice as he quickly pushed Emma out of the bed and put on his shirt.
Did I know he loved me? In all honesty I wasn't sure what to believe and I wasn't sure if he loved me especially if he slept with Emma. I really wanted to believe that he would never do anything to hurt me in this way but seeing them together was all the evidence I needed, especially with everything that had happened. I was so confused and alone, I didn't know if I loved him or if I could after what I had just witnessed.
"Bella…babe… please tell me you know I love you. I'm sorry about everything that has had happened, you know the last thing I wanted to do was hurt you. I love you so much; I want to spend my entire life with you. I didn't do anything I swear." Edward pleaded as he walked closer to me.
"Oh sure sure…listen to him, the guy who slept with me." Emma said as she laughed as she smiled and me and ran out of the room.
I looked at Edward then at the empty space where Emma once stood. No, no, no this couldn't be happening. Why would he do this to me? Why?
"Bella please don't listen to her. I beg you, please listen to me instead. You know me!" Edward exclaimed as he walked closer to me.
"But...but you and her were in the same bed…" I managed to say as my words fumbled out of my lips.
"Bella it didn't happen…Alice please tell her!" Edward said getting angry.
"No! I don't want to hear anymore! I just want to be myself to think." I said, not wanting to be anywhere near Edward. I just wanted to be myself so I could think about everything.
"What about us? What about you and I Bella?" Edward asked with a concern, soft look on his face.
"Well until I can think about this, right now there is no us." I stated as I walked out of the room, leaving a hurt, motionless Edward behind me.
As soon as I entered my truck, I slammed the door shut and pounded my fists against the steering wheel. Then I could feel the wet, salty tears start to flow from my eyes like a heavy waterfall. I leaned my head on my hands and sobbed. Every time I tried to believe Edward, I kept picturing him and Emma in the same bed, kissing and having sex. With those thoughts in my mind there was no way I could believe him. Why would they be together in the same bed if they didn't sleep together? There was no other explanation I could think of…so I had to believe that Edward did sleep with her, I just didn't know why. I quickly brushed the wet tears away from my cheeks and drove home. I closed the window shut so I wouldn't have any visitors and then I walked over to my bed. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I started to cry and with that, I cried myself to sleep dreaming about Edward and Emma sleeping together.
"Beep, Beep, Beep."
The irritating sound echoing around my room would usually wake me up from my slumber, but today I was already awake. I rolled over and turned off my alarm. I groaned as I sat up and rubbed my swollen eyes. I don't think I got one minute of sleep last night and I knew I would pay for it today. Even though I wanted to stay home, I knew I had to go to school. So I got ready and headed to school, with my head held high and a broken heart.
I really thought I was going to be okay at school but as soon as I saw Edward in the hall way all the changed. My confidence vanished as I saw him standing there by the door. I was so angry and hurt I didn't even want to see him, so I walked past him.
"Hey Bella, please wait up! Please let me talk." Edward said as he caught up to me.
"Edward. Please leave me alone and let me think about everything. I don't want to see or talk to you." I exclaimed.
"C'mon Bella you have to believe me. I need you in my life. What would it take for you to believe me?" Edward asked.
"Right now…nothing! So please just leave me alone…have fun with Emma." I said as I turned around and headed out the door. I realized right then and there, there was no way I could survive a whole day of school. Surprisingly as soon as I walked out of the doors I saw a figure standing on a red bike. I looked again. The figure looked oddly familiar.
"Hey Bella!" The figure said.
Oh my gosh it was Jake! What was he doing here?
"Hey! What are you doing here?" I asked as I walked over to him.
"Well I heard that Cullen cheated on you and I thought I would come over and see if you were okay. Is it true? Did Cullen cheat?" Jake asked as he stepped off of his bike.
"I don't know...I think so...It's complicated." I answered not really wanting to discuss Edward with Jake.
"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it, do you want to come to La Push to get your mind off of everything?" Jake asked as he patted the seat behind him.
I smiled and nodded my head. I really did need a break from all the drama in my life and going on a bike ride to La Push would give me that break. So I put Jake gave me his helmet and I sat on his bike. Then he took off to La Push.
"Want to go to the beach?" Jake asked as he parked the bike and helped me off of the bike.
"Sure." I said as we walked to the beach. As soon as we made it to the beach I sat down and sighed.
"Are you okay Bella?" Jake asked as he sat down beside me.
"Yes I am fine Jake." I answered.
"You are such a liar Bella!" Jake said.
I sighed again.
"Your right Jake, I am not fine I just don't want to talk about it." I admitted.
"Well I told you Cullen was bad news."
"Jake stop it!" I exclaimed.
"Well you do know I would never cheat on you Bella, don't you?" Jake said.
"What are you talking about Jake?" I asked.
"You know exactly what I am talking about." Jake said as he moved in closer to me and started to kiss me.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I yelled as I pushed Jake away. "I don't like you in that way Jake, how many times do I have to tell you? I thought we could just have a fun time as friends! Thanks for ruining a great day!" I yelled as I stopped up.
"I'm so sorry Bella. Where are you going?" Jake said as he tried to take my hand.
"I'm getting away from you! Please just leave me alone! I swear if you follow me I will never speak to you again!" I yelled as I ran off along the beach, luckily I didn't hear Jake following behind.
I started to slow down as I made my way to the road. Finally when my feet touched the gravel I stopped so I could catch my breath. I didn't really know why I suddenly left Jake on the beach but his kiss really shocked me. I still loved Edward but I was still hurting inside. I was annoyed that I had to keep telling Jake that we were just friends! I was already mad why did Jake have to make me feel worse? Why did guys have to be so confusing?
When I caught my breath I started to walk back to Forks. I knew now defiantly running away from Jake was a dumb idea because now I didn't have a ride home. But I hoped the walk would help me clear my head. All of a sudden I heard a car come up the road behind me. At first I didn't think much of it since people always travelled on this road, but then I heard the engine slow down. I looked to my right and saw a sports car stop right in front of me.
"Why hello there…what is a sexy girl doing walking by herself?" A guy said as he winked at me and looked over at his friend.
"Yeah she is sexy, I would tap that!" I heard another guy say.
I looked closely and saw that there were four guys in the car. I tried to calm myself down by believing that because it was still light out I was safe.
"Why don't you come a little closer babe, so we can get a better look?" The driver said as the group of men started to get out of their car.
Oh no! I was in trouble! They were going to come after me! I frantically searched for my phone, but I couldn't find it! Oh crap, I must had left it at the beach. Oh no! My heart was starting to beat like a drum as the men moved closer. I didn't want to die, not here, not now so I ran as fast as the wind into the woods.
I could hear their footsteps behind me as I ran as fast as I could. I snuck a look behind me and realized they were closer than I had anticipated. As soon as I turned my head around I tripped over a root and fell onto the ground.
"Oh there she is...she is getting ready for us." One of the guys said as they walked over to me.
"Please don't hurt me! Please leave me alone." I cried out as I tried to crawl away from them.
"Come here sexy."
I started to cry as I saw the men coming from, but then all of a sudden someone quickly picked me up. I looked down and realized I was flying through the air in the arms of what seemed to be a guy. I looked up and saw Edward's beautiful chiseled face staring back at me.
"Are you okay Bella? You won't believe what I heard in those guy's minds! All I wanted to do was kill them! I hated the way they looked you! I would die if someone hurt you!" Edward said as he flew into the woods.
"I'm okay…" I answered still shaken up about the event that just happened.
Next thing I knew I was in my own bed, in my room.
"Are you sure you are okay?" Edward asked as he sat down beside me.
"Yes...thank you for saving me." I said.
"Anytime Bella, you know that I love you and that I will always protect you. But since I know you don't want to see me, I will leave now." He said as he got up and walked over to the window.
"No! Please don't leave. Please stay with me." I said as Edward sat back down and I leaned into his comforting body. For the first time that afternoon I felt safe.
"I'll stay with you forever if I have to." Edward said as he kissed my cheek.
