"Why can't we just have movie night at ours?" Emmett moaned.

"Edwards place is better, and it's closer for Rose to come and join us. " Alice said.

"Still don't see why she has to go out with him."

"Aww are you jealous Em?"

He scoffed, "You wish, there's just something about him that I don't like."

"The competition?" I joined in

"Bella you're supposed to be on my side!" He whined. He really did remind you of a ten year old sometimes. "Where is the turning? This place is a bloody forest."

"Next one and I bet Steven could find it easily." Alice taunted.

"Whatever, ahh Jasper's already here. See we would have beaten him if you two didn't take forever."

"Correction: if Alice hadn't taken forever."

"C'mon Rosie, I'm the fifth wheel at couple central." Emmett complained.

"Get over it Em, and Bella had to be the fifth wheel for years." I just glared at her, thanks.

…. …. ….

For once, it felt nice to not be the fifth circle. To sit there in the arms of Edward whilst he recited lines from the old films we were watching. To feel warm and secure. Emmett spent his time throwing popcorn at us trying to distract us, which turned into the guys throwing it at him. Edward finally told him to go into the garage where there was a pool table. Which he jumped straight up for and left us in peace.

"Why is it in the garage?" Alice asked.

"Because my mum says it looks out of place in any of the rooms. Plus as its cold in there, it means less people will want to spend time in there playing pool."

"Well Em's a bear, he won't even notice if the temperature drops."

"The only things he does notice are my sister and food." Jasper added, "Actually where is Rosalie?"

"Still with Steven, you're not going to get all brotherly are you Jaz?" Alice said, moving closer in to kiss him.

He hugged her tighter, "No, she'd kick my arse if I did." Awww.

I tried tugging at the rope around my arms, using all my strength to loosen the knots. But it just burned against my skin. I cursed mentally wishing I'd kept at least something in my pocket from work. Ignoring the fact that I couldn't even reach into my pocket anyway. I wiggled in the seat to try to locate which pocket my phone was in. Except I couldn't feel anything in my pockets, not even the £2 I put in my back pocket before we left the pub. He must have gone through them all whilst I was out of it.

I concentrated on my surroundings. My dad had taken Jasper and I out each weekend around the whole area to try to familiarise us with nearly every road and building. It was something he had a strong belief in after being a cabbie driver, before he moved up in the world. It was a large empty warehouse, dusty and uninhabitable. Old damp boxes cluttering one corner of the room, remaining creates in another. Plants that surrounded the building had broken a few of the windows and were starting to grow inside. A large fan that once circulated around the top of the ceiling was the only thing that let in light around me. I still couldn't hear any traffic or signs of life outside. I casted my mind back to one trip where we went to this town outside of ours that always reminded me of the countryside. I'd always ask whether we would see any animals soon. It also meant I had been unconscious for at least two hours.

"It's nice to have you back," Steven said, I looked around the room to see where he was standing, only to find that he was right behind me again. "You really shouldn't try and worm your way out of those ropes. We wouldn't want to hurt that gorgeous body of yours, would we? Also it's no use, trust me. Scouts honour and all."

"Go to hell." I said calmly.

"Now now, that's not nice is it?"

"Who are you anyway?"

"I thought I had become a celebrity amongst your friends. Wow, I guess I must introduce myself properly then, shouldn't I? Tonight Matthew I'll be James Steven Ramsey."

Shit.

"Although you shouldn't expect me to sing or anything. Now that would be torture. Why so silent all of a sudden my dear?"

"You drugged me didn't you?" I asked, changing the subject.

"Yep, I had to spice up the cheap bottle of crap I picked up. It's also the easiest way to get you here. You aren't the most co-operative person I know Rose."

"Well I'm terribly sorry that you had to work a bit harder." I said sarcastically. My parents and Em had always taught me to stand up for myself. Though I doubt being a mouthy git to a murderer who was after my best friend and would go to any length to get her was probably not what they had in mind.

He laughed moving to stand right in front of me. I prepared myself to not flinch or show any sign of weakness. His hand moved closer to my face, tugging on a piece of hair pulling it away from my face. "You're always feisty aren't you? Believe me when I say this, it is a shame you're friends with my Bella. I mean I would have gone after the midget but it was harder to connect to her."

"Bella isn't yours to own."

"On the contrary I think she is."

JPOV – Age seven

Bella had finally got her cast off and we could play properly! But she was never in the mood for it. Mum had said her mum had gone on a holiday like dad had. I didn't see why she was sad it's not like she was never going to see her again! And she might bring back presents from wherever she went too. Mrs Chapman had finished reading The Twits really early so we had time before lunchtime. Even though we all wanted to go in the playground but she said we couldn't. It was SNOWING! I already told Sam that I would get him loads with snowballs. Ben this really dumb boy in our class asked about being married and Ms said that it shows that two people are happy with each other and want to be together forever.

When she let us out finally Bella was taking forever to walk to the playground. I really wanted to play in the snow but she still wouldn't run with me! She said she didn't like snow, who doesn't like snow? Because no one else was staying inside and Bella would be alone I stayed with her in the library and we read books together. We even forgot to go and get our lunch! Though we didn't tell our parents that. Bella was staring into space and I thought that it would be cool to stay with Bella forever so I asked her to marry me. And she said yes! We didn't have real rings so we used pieces of paper and wrapped them around our fingers. When I got home I told my mum about us getting married, she laughed and said that her little man is growing up.

"Tell me, what good actually comes out of this?"

"Bella's mine once and for all. She'd have atoned for her sins."

"Oh please, because she didn't have a life of her own, so she moved on without you, boo hoo. Follow your own advice mate; it's in the past get over it."

He rubbed his hand through his hair, "Do you know why my dad left me?"

I didn't even know his dad left him. Though I wasn't going to mention that.

"He was bored being a parent; he didn't care about supporting his family. Nope, not one bit. All he was interested in was shagging Bella's mum, amongst other women. Of course, Bella doesn't know. I doubt she'd care."

"You're punishing Bella for something her mum did? Please say you have more sense than that."

"Sorry I can't. Now if you'd excuse me, I have to make a call." He raised my phone and dangled it in front of me.

He walked away from my chair and stood directly in front of me a few metres away. "Hello Bella, I wouldn't alert anyone if I were you. Rose's life is a bit tied up, literally."

BPOV

"Shouldn't someone get Emmett away from that pool table?" Jaz asked.

"No no, it's peaceful in here. Rose should be here by now though." Alice said.

"Stuck in traffic or drunk out of her mind?"

"She wouldn't drive if she was drunk you idiot."

'I don't want anybody else

When I think about you, I touch myself ohhhh

I don't want anybody else

Oh no oh no oh no'

Everyone laughed at the music, "Where is that coming from?" I asked.

"Emmett" everyone said in unison.

"What?" Emmett asked emerging from the doorway, "Whose ringtone is the Divinyls? Their phone is ringing in the blue bag."

Which was mine; I jumped up and ran to the front door where I left my bag. I heard Emmett say that Rose had changed it. 'Rosalie' read the caller ID, talk about the devil.

"Very funny Rose, 'I touch myself' what are you ten? It's a good thing Esme and Carlisle aren't here. Whilst we're on that subject where are you?"

I couldn't get a reply, seeing that my phone had little signal. I ran upstairs and into Edward's bedroom so I wasn't occupying the bathroom.

"Hello Bella, I wouldn't alert anyone if I were you. Rose's life is a bit tied up, literally." A man said down the phone.

"Who is this?" I had a gut feeling, but I was hoping it was not him at all.

"Guess, my old friend."

"James." I choked.

"We have a winner!"

"What have you done to Rose? I swear if you've hurt-"

"Bella, Bella, Bella, slow down. She's fine; you may speak to her if you wish to after."

"What do you want?"

"You of course."

"Where are you?"

"Wow, straight into the deep end for once, no long winded shit."

"Shame I can't say the same about you."

"Now now, be nice Bella. Are you alone?"

"Yes."

"No police or anything?"

"No."

"I don't want any tricks Bella."

"For fuck sake, just tell me the address. It's just me, I'm not playing any tricks. This is ending tonight, I don't care. My friends have nothing to do with this."

"Nice to see you see it from my point of view. You know those deserted warehouses off the dual carriageway by IKEA, the third one, there's a blue car sitting outside it."

"Okay, I'll be there as soon as possible."

"Oh and Bella, please don't try anything funny. I actually like Rose, but if I have to do it, I will. What do you have to say Rose?"

"Besides you being a complete psycho? Bella please don't even think about coming out here, I'll be all right. Just tell Emmett I love him." I could hear the panic in her voice, only because I really knew her. Another person wouldn't notice it, and I'm sure James didn't either.

"I'll see you soon Bella my love."

I searched around Edward's room for a pad and pen; I found his car keys too. Glad I didn't have to take Emmett's as I'd have had to ask for his keys.

'Edward,

Steven = James. He has Rose.

I'm sorry about taking your car, I have to do this.

Third warehouse along off the dual carriageway by IKEA.

I love you.

Bella'

It was official I was going to die. I just wanted to see my family and friends again, just one more time. The chances of that happening were slim, whom was I kidding?

"See I can be the good guy. I haven't laid one finger on you so far."

"No you've just lied to me, drugged me and then held me hostage."

"You're still alive, that's all that counts. Now if you don't mind me I have to go somewhere."

"You're leaving me here?" Where's the catch.

"Yep." He walked closer to the door, "I would give you a blanket to keep you warm, but I don't have one, sorry."

I drove as fast as I possibly could. If I met, a police officer on the way or two they could even help me. My phone started to ring in the back, I was grateful that the lights had turned red at the same time.

"Yes James?"

"Isn't it a crime to use your phone while driving?"

"What do you want?"

"Where are you?"

"Coming up to the A3."

"Good, now go to Lavender road, flat number 23."

"Where's Rose?"

"At that address, I had to make sure you at least trusted me. See you soon." He put the phone down.

Straight away my phone rang again, I was about to pick it up thinking it was James. Except it read Edward, I ignored it concentrating on getting to Rose.

EPOV

Titanic had finished, the next movie that we were forced to watch thanks to Alice. Jasper had spent the past five minutes comforting Alice as she cried on his shoulder when Celine Dion sung. Emmett laughed at her calling her a wuss, she counted it by telling him Rose and Bella would have done the same if they were here.

"Has Bella been eaten by her phone or something?" Emmett asked.

"You obviously haven't been around whilst they're on the phone." Jasper said. "They go on forever. Girls for you I guess." Alice smacked him right across the chest he just kissed her. "You know I'm not lying."

Emmett motioned a whip with sound included at Jasper who gave him the finger. "Like my sister doesn't wear the trousers in your relationship."

"Rose should be back by now, it's gone ten." Alice went into her pocket and pulled out her phone. Dialling a number and then dropping it back into her lap. "Weird, she didn't pick up."

"Probably still on the phone to Bells." Emmett said.

"No, I got the answer machine." She picked up her phone again, "Hmm, same again." She walked out of the room.

Emmett shook his head, "Girls!"

Alice ran back in, "Guys where has Bella's stuff gone?"

I jumped straight out of my chair, "What do you mean?"

"Her coat and bag, they're not there anymore."

I rushed past her into the hallway, just like Alice had said – none of Bella's belongings were there. "Check the rest of downstairs Alice?" She nodded and ran off towards the kitchen. I ran up the stairs and towards the bathroom that was closed for once. Knocking on the door, "Bella?" I shouted. Silence. "Bella?" I said slowly opening the door, nothing. I checked the rest of the rooms surrounding the bathroom, until I reached my room. I knocked just in case she had fallen asleep in there. It was empty, the only difference was that my duvet looked ruffled. I moved closer to it noticing a piece of paper lying on it.

I grabbed the piece of paper running down the stairs two at a time. My phone in the other hand dialling Bella's phone. No reply.

"Emmett I need to borrow your car." I said quickly as I got into the living room.

"Did you find her?" Alice asked behind me in the doorway. I handed her the piece of paper. "Shit."

"What?" Emmett and Jasper asked.

"Steven is James, and Bella's gone after him." Alice said quietly.

"Emmett I need to borrow your car." I repeated.

"I'm coming with you" He said walking towards the doorway. Alice and Jasper started to follow him.

"Well we all can't come, we won't have room." I tried to reason with him quickly, we didn't have time to argue. No one knew how long Bella had been gone.

"I'm going, that's my sister that pig has there." Jasper said firmly.

"So am I." Alice said.

"No." Jasper and Emmett shouted.

"Alice, can you stay and contact the police and see if you can get a hold of Bella or Rose whilst we go, please." I said quietly. "Also her father."

She nodded, "Fine."

Jasper went to hug her, "We'll be fine, just bringing back your shopping buddies." He bent down and kissed her. Emmett and I walked out towards his car leaving them to have a moment in private.
