Authors Notes; So here we have another chapter! :D So in this chapter there is a lot of emotion in and a lot of anger. Please don't hate me for it? :)
'Oh Bella...you're beautiful' Carlisle moaned, burying himself inside me. He moves his hands too the sides of my face. His kiss was possessive and needing, his tongue and lips begging for entrance. I moan against his mouth and my tongue desperately meets his, as I tug at his hair. He turns me over, so I'm on top of him and our rhythm begins to pick up speed. I lean down, and kiss him hard as he begins to bite my lower lip. I moan against his mouth again. I feel the familiar build inside of me and my body begins to quiver.
'I love you' Carlisle moans and that's all I need and I explode around him, my breathing and heart rate fast as Carlisle reaches his high. I collapse into his arms, and we lie like that for what seems like a lifetime, just looking into each others eyes before I drifted off into a peaceful sleep wrapped safely in Carlisle's strong arms.
I woke up the next morning alone. It had only been just over a week since I graduated and already Carlisle had to go back to work to teach his new class. Don't get me wrong, I knew he had to go back eventually and I was grateful he was earning money for our future together, just as I was with my businesses and club, but I never thought he would have to go back so soon. I missed being able to wake up in his arms, and be able to just watch him sleep or get up to make him some breakfast in bed. The house felt lonely without him and recently I hated being by myself, especially with James still out there somewhere.
Eventually I dragged myself out of bed, and got changed into my Stella McCartney's Hampstead Print Blouse, with some black leggings and my Chanel Iridescent Patent Calfskin Lace-Up heeled shoes. I know Carlisle would moan at me for the shoes but I didn't care. It was my body; I knew I wasn't going to get hurt and that our baby was safe, so therefore I would wear what I wanted. I quickly platted my hair into a side braid, and sighed. How I wish I could dye my hair back to my natural colour, I hated the blonde now. I wasn't that woman anymore since Carlisle.
I looked at the time, it was only 11am. I had plenty of time to get sorted. I made my way down to our kitchen and began preparing some sandwiches, and other bits and pieces before packing them all into a picnic basket. Once I had finished making and packing everything it was 11:30, just in time to leave the house.
I walked out of the house carrying the picnic basket, and locked the door before starting my walk to the high school. As I walked out of the gate I noticed a black Aston Martin pulled up outside of the house. A man who looked strangely like Carlisle but older sat in the drivers seat whilst a woman with curly auburn locks sat in the passenger seat, both of them staring at me, watching my every move. I froze, a shiver running down my spine. What if they were something to do with James? What if he had sent someone to look for me so he wouldn't get caught? I stepped back a notch and turned to walk back through the gate, when I felt my phone start to vibrate in my pocket. I took it out and checked the caller ID before answering it, just in case. Thankfully it was Carlisle.
'Hello' I spoke, my breathing heavy and full of fear. I turned slightly to look at the car, they were still there. Still watching me.
'Bella, is everything okay? You sound really tense?' Carlisle asked suddenly. I considered lying just to stop him worrying, but I knew I had to be honest with him; I could never lie to him especially after how Esme lied to him. I couldn't betray him like that.
'There's a car outside Carlisle. I'm really scared' I admitted weakly.
'Relax, it's only a car' he laughed to himself. How could he try and turn this into a joke? It's not funny.
'Yes, but the people inside the car are watching my every move' I said angrily through clenched teeth to stop myself from shouting. I know it's not his fault but I've just told him I'm clearly scared and he can sense how tense I am yet he's laughing at me?
'Carlisle?' I whispered, being he hadn't answered.
'I'm coming home! Stay in the house!' he growled protectively. No. I couldn't have him leaving work just to come look after me; anyway I was on the way to the high school to surprise him. I turned and began to walk to the high school, ignoring the couple staring at me. I wasn't going to let them scare me out of leaving my own house, plus Carlisle was on the phone to be so everything would be fine. I automatically felt safer hearing his voice.
'No, I'm fine. I promise. I've told Sam I'll go and see him anyway. I'm nearly there, so stay where you are' I objected. He sighed on the other line.
'God, you are impossible Miss Swan'
'That I am Dr Cullen. That I am.' I giggled. I checked over my shoulder out of paranoia to make sure the Aston Martin wasn't following me, thankfully it wasn't and my body automatically relaxed.
'I'm really sorry. I've got to go. A student is at the door wanting to talk to me' Carlisle apologised.
'Carlisle, it's your lunch time. You shouldn't have to deal with students in your time' I sighed.
'That's rather hypocritical coming from you. As I can recall you were always in my room in my time' Even though I couldn't see him, I knew he was smirking that smirk I loved.
'Well that was different'
'A very nice different' he laughed. 'I've seriously got to go, she's getting impatient. Love you both'
'We love you too' I replied speaking on behalf of myself and our little munchkin, before hanging up. Luckily I was only 5 minutes away, so this student only had 5 minutes to speak with him, all I wanted was to see Carlisle, to be in his embrace where I truly felt safe.
I made it to the high school minutes later, and made my way through the front office and up to the bridge where Carlisle's classroom was located. It literally felt like I was back at school and on my way to his psychology lessons. I stopped on the bridge and looked out of the window at the view outside deciding that it would be a better option until his student had finished speaking with him just in case the matter was serious.
'Let's go surprise daddy' I whispered to my bump, rubbing it softly. I had been waiting long enough, and now it was just getting ridiculous. I needed to see Carlisle and make sure he gets something to eat. He never gets to eat when a student wants to talk to him through his lunch hour. I walked to his door, knocked softly and entered to see his student was still there. She turned and looked at me, a gasp escaping my lips. Those eyes...eyes I would never forget. The way she smirked at me resembled him so much...could it be? No. No. It's not possible. I would have known if it was. I shook my head at my thoughts, and turned my face towards Carlisle, putting a smile on my face.
'Sorry to disturb you' I genuinely apologised.
'No, it's fine. Charlotte was just leaving' Charlotte? Could it be his Charlotte? No...no, Carlisle would have figured it out by her surname if it was. It must just be a coincidence.
'Thank you for letting me know your issues with my class. I will definitely try and sort something out' he continued.
'Thank you Carlisle' she replied, looking at him flirtatiously. What? Carlisle? She was on first name bases with my boyfriend and she was clearly flirting with him.
'It's Dr Cullen to you thank you!' he replied sternly at her. She nodded, turning red and picked up her stuff to leave. Well, one thing is for sure I'm glad that he corrected her else I would be having problems with him...and her.
'Bye Miss Swan' she spoke as she walked past me. My mouth dropped open and I dropped the picnic basket. How did she know my name? Had Carlisle spoken about me to her or any of his other students? I watched as she walked down the corridor, stopping and turning to look at me once more with a huge malicious grin on her face.
'What's wrong sweetie? I thought you were going to Sam's? Is everything okay?' Carlisle asked, moving towards me and putting his hands around my waist to pull me in to his embrace. I pushed his chest slightly, causing some distance between us. His eye brow rose, giving me a quizzical look.
'H...how did she know my name Carlisle?' I stuttered. I needed to know.
'I don't know? I haven't mentioned you to my class' he answered, looking equally as confused.
'What's her surname? Please...I...I need to know' I begged him. I needed to know if it was her or not. I needed the peace of mind if it wasn't.
'Red. Her name's Charlotte Red' he answered automatically. Fuck! I pushed him away. I needed to get out of here. It was her. She had used her mother's maiden name. He had found me...sent his daughter here to track me down. 'She's just a student Bella. I promise'
'Give me your car keys' I demanded.
'Bella, I'm not...'
'I said give me your fucking car keys now!' I screamed at him, tears springing in my eyes. He shook his head sadly.
'I'm not giving you the car keys. Try and calm down, stress isn't good for the baby. Please just tell me what's happening?' the man I love began to plead. I witnessed how broken he looked and it killed me to know I was doing this to him but I couldn't tell him about Charlotte. I couldn't bring him into this. I couldn't have him getting hurt because of me.
'I can't. I'm sorry' I began to cry.
'Please baby? I'm supposed to be your partner, the father of our baby, you should be able to talk to me. Please. I can help you' he spoke sincerely pulling me towards me and holding me. I began to cry into his chest, before the bell rang informing students and teachers that it was the end of the lunch.
'I'm sorry' I apologised again, before escaping from the classroom and away from Carlisle...little did he know that I had taken his keys whilst hugging him. I began to hurry towards the bridge to get out of the school, when I saw Charlotte with her back to me, talking into her phone.
'Yes, it's her alright. Seems her and the teacher are still going strong. I'm sure she recognised me too...Well if she does go to the police then her and that baby will be dead' I heard her laugh maliciously down the phone, clearly to her dad. I began to shake, this is it. He's found me. Before she could see me, I quickly and quietly turned and hurried past Carlisle's room to the stairs. I made it outside and on to the car park in no time, opening Carlisle's car boot I grabbed my running shoes from when we went jogging together, and swapped my footwear over. I needed to get out of here and there was no chance I could run in my heels, and I couldn't exactly take Carlisle's car when he needs it. I slammed the boot down, jogged frantically to the office and handed in his keys asking the secretary to pass them on to Carlisle for me and with that I was gone, running back to my house where I can lock myself inside and know that I would be safe.
What should have took me a 10 minute run only took me 5, and by the time I was at the gate my heart was raising and I was gasping for air but I didn't care. I needed to get inside. I threw open the gate, not even bothering to shut it, unlocked the front door and slammed it quickly behind me before sliding down it with tears running down my face. Why is this happening? Hasn't he got enough pleasure out of breaking my life...for what he did to me, my parents...how he made Emmett kill himself and killing Alice too?
I heard the doorbell being rang, and instantly flinched. I couldn't answer it...it could be him. He could have found my address out.
'W...who is it?' I stammered, my voice choking up from the crying.
'Mr and Mrs Cullen; Carlisle's parents' I heard a woman's voice speak. She sounded rather posh. Carlisle had never mentioned his parents before to me. I just knew he left them when he was 16 and came to Forks. I opened the door slightly, and felt a lump form in my throat. The couple in the car who had been watching me were now on my front door step.
'You must be a friend of Carlisle and Esme's. Are they around?' The man spoke up, with a rough but also posh voice.
'C...Carlisle's at work' I told them. I wasn't going to invite them into my house. I didn't know them, they could be anyone and surely Carlisle would have mentioned that his parents were coming over and why didn't they know that he and Esme are no longer together? Mr Cullen huffed at my reply.
'Bella! Oh God Isabella! You're safe' I heard my boyfriends familiar voice shouting as he jumped out of his car and ran towards me, dodging past his parents who he clearly hadn't seen and pulled me into his arms, repeatedly kissing my forehead. 'God, I was so worried!'
'Carlisle..' I breathed glad that I was in his arms, and he had arrived just in time. 'I'm so sorry...I couldn't...I couldn't...'
'Shhh...it's okay. I'm here now. Everything's going to be alright' he soothed, still holding me and swaying our bodies as he tried to calm me down.
'And who may this floozy be?' Mrs Cullen suddenly piped up.
'Looks like our son has got himself a whore' Mr Cullen replied.
I felt Carlisle's hold on me stiffen and I began to cry harder. His parents had never even met me and here they were passing judgement on me already. Carlisle let go of me, and turned to look at his parents, anger racing through his eyes.
'Leave!' he snarled.
'Oh no son...you've got something we want' his father spoke again, staring at me. I placed my hand protectively on my stomach, not trusting the glare I was receiving and edged behind Carlisle. I felt my phone go off in my pocket again, and instinctively I knew I had to check it. I took it out of my pocket and glanced down at the screen. There was one new message from an unknown number.
'Well you do run fast, but are you fast enough to escape me?
You're not safe from anyone.
I will get you and when I do you're going to wish that you never existed.
You're worst nightmare.
X'
I read the message over and over again in my head. Not hearing the commotion go on around me. When I felt a sharp pain in my thigh. My legs collapsed beneath me as I began to fall, my head began to spin and a searing pain traveled through my body. I felt a pair of arms catch me before I could hit the floor and then an earth shattering cry erupted from my lungs. Was this it? Was I going to die?
