Chapter 13

Over the next couple of days me and Edward pretty much avoided each other, we only saw each other to hand over the doll in the mornings and that was more than enough. We hadn't met up anymore, though we did arrange to meet up on Saturday as it was the last weekend before the end of the project, and we figured we'd better work together for more chance of passing.

On the other hand, me and James had seen each other quite a lot. He was kinda beginning to grow on me. Though I still had no romantic feelings for him, I definitely did not, and couldn't ever see myself liking him in that way.

It was Friday and I was actually driving my own car to school. It was the first day this week where Alice or James hadn't driven me. Not because they didn't offer, but because I just wanted to drive myself. I missed my big old truck.

When I pulled into the parking lot, I saw Alice waving from her Porsche motioning that she'd saved a spot for me.

I parked next to her and jumped out of the cab.

'Really Bella?' She asked coming round to greet me.

'What?' I scrunched my eyebrows at her as I slung my bag over my shoulder.

'You really declined my offer to drive you, so you could drive that?' she cocked an eyebrow at my truck.

'Hey, don't hate the truck' I defended giving it a little pat of affection, making Alice giggle.

'Hey Bells' I heard James call from behind me. I turned around and gave him a little wave. 'Hi Alice' He greeted as he approached us.

'Hey' she smiled. 'Right anyway I gotta be off, I said I'd meet Jasper before class' she winked and gave me a quick hug before skipping off.

'So how are you James?' I asked him as we walked to my class.

'I'm good' he grinned. 'You?'

'Yeah, I'm okay' I smiled.

'That's good' he paused. 'Hey I was wondering if maybe you'd like to catch a movie tonight or something?' he asked.

'Yeah sure, why not' I agreed.

'Great, erm...so I'll pick you up at 6?'

'Sounds good' I smiled. 'See you later then' I waved as I headed into my classroom.

XxX

James arrived just before 6 to pick me up.

'You look nice' He smiled as I answered the door to him.

'Oh, thank you' I said looking down at my outfit.

I'd opted for black skinny jeans, a long tunic top, and a cardigan. Just casual, seeing as in my eyes, this wasn't a date.

'Just something I threw on' I shrugged tugging at the hem of my top.

'Well it looks lovely' He grinned.

'Thanks, wanna go?' I asked motioning towards the door.

'Yeah' He glanced behind me as if he was looking at something, which made me turn and look too. When I couldn't see anything I turned back to him and frowned at him.

'Oh I was just wondering if your dad was home' He shrugged.

'Erm, no he's not, he's fishing...again' I sighed. I hardly ever saw my dad.

'Is he ever here?' He chuckled.

'Not really' I shook my head.

'Does he stay out all night?' he asked walking backwards, towards his car as I locked the front door.

'Yeah, he normally sleeps at his friend Billy's down the res' I told him.

'Oh' he just nodded once, opening the car door for me.

'Thanks' I climbed in.

We went and saw some movie about zombies. I think James thought it would scare me and I'd need him for comfort or something, as he kept asking if I was okay, and if I was scared. I'd simply replied with a laugh as the film was pretty shite!

'Well that was interesting' I laughed as James pulled up to my house.

'Yeah, sorry I think I picked the lamest movie going' He chuckled.

'Nah, it's okay, I still had a great time' I smiled.

'Well that's good then' He grinned getting out of the car and walking around to my door.

I climbed out and he walked me to my door.

'Well thank you James, I had a great time' I smiled as I unlocked my front door.

'Me too' He leaned in close.

'Well, goodnight' I said trying to avoid him trying to kiss me again.

'Oh come on Bella, aren't you gonna let me in' he smiled.

'Erm, I'm pretty tired actually, but maybe next time' I forced a smile.

'But your dad's not home right now' He winked.

'I know but, sorry James not tonight' I said and stepped inside my house.

'Come on Bella, babe' He said putting his hand on the door, stopping me from closing it.

'No, James! Now goodnight' I said firmly pushing on the door.

He didn't seem to want to take no for an answer though and pushed the door back and stepped inside my house.

I took a step back, slightly scared by the new James who was standing in my hallway with a smirk on his face.

'Now come on Bella babe, I just wanna give you a little kiss' He took a step towards me and closed the front door behind him.

'James, you're scaring me, please' I pleaded putting my hands out to stop him getting too close.

'Oh, I don't mean to be scaring you baby, there's no need to be scared honestly' He smiled, but it wasn't a nice smile, it was a mean, vindictive smile and it scared me.

'Please just fucking leave!' I shouted stepping back again, landing against the kitchen door.

Shit.

'Ooh, feisty' He chuckled darkly.

'James, I mean it, if you don't leave I'm calling the cops' I warned.

'No you won't' He said stepping closer again.

He was moving slowly, like I was prey he was stalking or something.

'I fucking will, so back the fuck off' I snapped, trying to discreetly pull my cell phone from my bag I still had on.

'Now, now Bella there's no need to do that' He said, suddenly in front of me. He grabbed my cell phone out of my hand and threw it behind him.

Shit, shit shit!

I thought on my feet and quickly shoved him hard in the chest. He staggered back, giving me enough time to open the kitchen door and slip inside.

I slammed the door behind me and backed up against it. I slid down it onto the floor.

I could hear James banging on the door, trying to get in so I just pressed myself against it as hard as I could.

'Come on now Bella, I thought I told you, I'm not used to not getting what I want' I heard him say.

'What?' I gasped.

'Oh yes that's right' He laughed from behind the door. 'Poor gullible Bella, stupid little Bella' His voice sounded farther away and I hoped he was going to leave.

I was wrong.

Being a complete fucking idiot I forgot about the other entrance to the kitchen through the front room.

I stood up quickly as James approached.

I backed my way around the kitchen counter.

'You lied' I hissed trying to distract him from the direction I was heading. The knives!

'Well done' He clapped sarcastically.

'That means...' It was Edward's story. I suddenly felt like the world's biggest asshole. Well except for James.

'Yep, you should have listened to him Bella' He smirked. 'I am bad news'

'Why? Why the fuck are you doing this?' I screamed at him.

'Because well...I want to' he shrugged.

'But why, what did I ever do to you?' I yelled inching closer to the knife stand.

'You didn't do anything, but Edward likes you so that's a good enough reason for me'

'What the fuck is wrong with you?' I whispered.

James just rolled his eyes and carried on walking towards me.

'And Edward doesn't like me, you fucking idiot! He hates me, so you're wasting your time' I told him, nearing my destination.

'Really Bella, you are so naive' he shook his head and chuckled darkly.

I tried to discretely reach for a knife, obviously not discretely enough though because suddenly he charged at me, pushing me to the floor. I banged my head on the table on the way down and when I lifted my hand to my head I could feel warm liquid seeping through my fingers.

'Shit' I cringed.

'Oopsy' James said from above me, he was now holding a knife in his hand running his finger along it sadistically.

'Fuck you James' I hissed.

He bent down to my level and smiled at me. I just glared at him determined not to show how frightened I was.

'Now Bella, we can do this the easy or the hard way' he proposed.

I shook my head. 'Fuck you!' I snarled.

'Fine' He said, grabbing my hair and pulling me to a standing position, causing me to scream in pain, not just from the hair pulling but also from the pressure he was putting on the gash on the back of my head.

'Ahhh, get off!' I yelled.

'Whatever you wish angel' He whispered in my ear, before shoving me to the floor again.

I tried to crawl away but James grabbed my ankle sliding me back towards him.

He turned me over and pinned me down by sitting on my legs.

He raised his hand and I saw a flash of the knife.
