Chapter 21.

BPOV

I spun around to face him, "Jake, what are you doing here? How did you even get in here?" I asked, sounding a lot more confident than I felt.

He stalked across the room, over to me, and pressed me against the wall. "Doesn't matter. I'm here now baby" as he spoke I could smell the alcohol on his breath. He had been drinking again. When was he ever not drinking? He leaned in to kiss me, I turned my head to the side, away from his mouth.

"You bitch" he said, slapping me.

The sting on my face brought tears to my eyes. I'm not going to cry in front of him, I told myself. That's what he wants. I put on a brave face, my bottom lip quivering. His hands came to either side of my face, "Baby, I'm sorry you know I didn't mean it. You brought this on yourself, all I wanted was a little kiss"

"Go away Jake" I said, trying to push myself away from the wall and away from him. He was too strong for me though and pushed me straight back against the wall. His strong arms were now pinning me to the wall. "Just one little kiss, then I'll go Bella. That's all I'm asking for."

How stupid does he think I am? "No Jake, I'm not going to kiss you. I'm with Edward now. Please, just leave" I remained calm, hoping he would do the same.

"So, where is he anyway? If he cares so much about you, why isn't he here with you?"

"He will be very soon" I lied, Edward's flight wasn't due to land for another two hours.

"I don't believe you" Jacob snapped.

"It's the truth" I replied vehemently.

"I think you're lying" he moved his face close to mine again.

Once again I moved my head to the side avoiding his lips.

"Stop doing that" he said, grabbing hold of my head and smashing the back of it into the wall.

This time I was unable to stop the tears falling down my face as I felt an excruciating pain at the back of my head. "Jacob, please stop this" I sobbed.

"You're mine not his. I'm going to proove just how much I love you. We belong together" holding my head, flush against the wall he brought his mouth down to mine and kissed me hungrily. He released my arms and used his hands to grope my breasts roughly. I used all my strength to remove his hands from me. Then I pushed his face away from me.

"Bella, I know you love me, stop pretending"

"Jacob I don't. I love Edward"

He slapped me again "Don't you dare say his name in front of me again" This time his nail caught against my skin and I felt blood on my cheek.

"Stop being a bad girl and let me show how much I mean to you" he said, bringing his mouth back down to mine. He was pinning my arms to the wall again. "Kiss back" he ordered.

"Jake, please" I said, tears rolling down my face.

"Fine, be like that. Your loss" This time he brought his mouth down to my neck and began biting me. "Now he'll know that you belong to me" he sneered. Then his mouth was back on mine, his kiss rough. His hands moved down to my waist and he started undoing my jeans. I tried to move his hands away, but it was no use, he was stronger than I was. Having opened my jeans he began to tug at them. I threw successive punches towards his chest, desperately trying to get him off me. It was all to no avail though, he had got my jeans down past my hips and was unbuckling his belt. I squirmed underneath him and threw everything I had into my punches. As he tore his lips from mine I screamed "Jacob, please don't do this. If you really love me you won't do this" his lips crashed against mine once more.........

I had told Bella that my flight got into O'Hare at ten pm. It actually landed at eight. I had a special gift for her and I wanted to surprise her. I knew that she would be at home.

I made my way up the stairs to our apartment when I heard Bella scream "Jacob, please don't do this. If you really love me you won't do this" before everything went quiet. How had the son of a bitch found her? I knew I should have insisted that she stay with Alice and Jasper whilst I was away. I would never forgive myself if he had hurt her.

I raced up the last couple of stairs, my keys in my hand. I couldn't get the door open fast enough. I walked into our apartment to find Bella pinned against the wall under Jacob, her jeans were undone and past her hips, his belt unbuckled. I looked at her face, tears were streaming down it.

I ran across the room in a blind rage of fury and dragged him off of her "Get the fuck off of her you sick dog" I had more strength than I thought, he went smashing into the bookshelf, cutting his head on it. Bella used the opportunity to pull up her jeans. I walked over to her and saw her red, puffy eyes, her lips were swollen and she had a cut on her cheek, along with a red mark. "I'm so sorry Bella" I whispered to her, my hand gently stroking her face. It broke my heart seeing what he had done to her. I couldn't bear to think about what would have happened if I hadn't come home.

I was pulled away from Bella by Jacob. A moment later his fist connected with my face. I rubbed the blood away from my mouth. "Bella, call the police" I said.

"I think you should wait before you do that" he said, pulling a gun out of his pocket.

"Just leave Bella alone" I pleaded.

"Okay I will. On one condition, you're coming with me" he said.

"Alright, I'll go with you" I would do anything to save Bella from him.

Bella ran over to me "Edward don't. Please don't do this, you can't go with him" she said, her voice breaking through her tears.

I put my arms on either side of her "Bella, it's going to be okay. I promise" looking her straight in the eye as I spoke.

Then I followed Jacob out of the apartment. "Where are we going?" I asked.

"Just get in the car and start driving," he had the gun pointed at me.

BPOV

As soon as Edward and Jacob had left the apartment I picked up the phone and dialled 911.

"911. What's your emergency?"

"My ex was in my apartment and he had a gun. He tried to rape me and now he's taken my boyfriend hostage"

"Okay Madam, slow down. What's your name?"

"Bella Swan"

"And your address"

"1211 Racine Avenue"

"Okay, Ms Swan, an officer has been dispatched to your address and will be there shortly to take your statement."

"I'm going to hang up now, okay?" the operator asked.

"Yeah" I said, absentmindedly.

I put the phone down and slumped down to the floor. My body exhausted from all the trauma I had gone through tonight. I began to cry, my entire body shook with my sobs. I felt guilty for whatever was going to happen to Edward. I should have listened to Dad when he told me to press charges. Why had I been so stupid? If Jacob killed Edward tonight it would all be my fault! My chest hurt with the thought of losing Edward.

Ten minutes later there was a knock at the door and an officer waiting outside. After inviting him in I explained everything that had happened in the past half hour and told him all about Jacob and our troubled history.

"Ms Swan, I think we should take you to the hospital. You're in shock and it's probably best if we get you checked out" he said softly.

"NO. I'm not going anywhere until I know that Edward is okay" I said sternly.

"Then I'm going to request you call someone. You need a friend right now."

I called Angela but she wasn't picking up. The only other person I could think of was Alice. A part of me really didn't want to make the call but I knew the officer was right, I did need a friend right now.

I picked up the phone, taking a deep breath and dialled her number.

"Hello" a male voice answered.

"Hi Jasper it's Bella, is Alice there?" Somehow I managed to remain composed.

"Yeah, just a second" I heard him call her to the phone.

"Hi Bella" she said, full of life.

I wasn't able to speak.

"Bella, what's wrong?"

"Oh god, Alice I don't know how to say this. It's Edward" I began to cry again, when I said his name.

"What about Edward?" she asked, panicked.

"Can you just come round to the apartment and I'll tell you when you get here"

"Okay, I'm on my way right now"

It had only taken ten minutes for Alice to get here, she said she had run a few lights to get here as quickly as she could. The first thing she did when she arrived was pull me into a hug and stroked my back, comforting me. "Whatever it is, it's going to be alright Bella"

"It's all my fault Alice. Jacob was here earlier tonight and the only way he would leave was if Edward went with him"

"Edward, can take care of himself" she said, with a small smile.

"Alice, Jacob has a gun"

"Still, the cops are out looking for them right? They've got a description of what Jacob looks like. Their going to find them Bella" I knew she was being positive for my sake but even she couldn't hold back the single tear that rolled down her cheek.

"I'm really sorry to have called you. Angela wasn't picking up and I don't really know anyone else."

"I'm happy that you called me. Edward is my brother and if he's in trouble I want to know about it."

"Turn left here" Jacob snarled.

I took a hold of the steering wheel and made the turn.

"Why are you doing this Jacob?" After he hadn't answered I carried on. "Bella and I are happy, she's moved on and so should you."

"Did I say you could talk?" he snapped at me.

"Sorry, I'm only trying to help"

"Well I don't need your help. Bella still loves me."

"Are you crazy. She was in tears back there, you were about to rape her. If I hadn't have walked in on the two of you...."

"Shut the hell up asshole" he emphasised his point by using the butt of the gun to whack the top of my head.

"Ow. What the hell?" I began.

"Pull up over there" he pointed to a gap in the deserted street.

After pulling up, alongside the curb and switching the engine off he said "Get out of the car"

I opened the car door and Jacob did the same with the passenger door. As he stood up, he kept the gun pointed at me as he walked around the back of the car. He took a hold of my collar and pushed me forward, towards a building. I felt the gun pressed against my back as he followed me in.

"Go up to the roof"

Knowing that Jacob had the power, holding the gun I did as I was told.

BPOV

"Ms Swan. We've got a report of the suspect's car. A unit is on their way to the building now" Officer Munroe, explained.

"See, that's good news. They've found them. Edward is going to be fine" Alice said, a warm smile lighting up her face.

"I guess" I said, not convinced that it was over yet. I wouldn't be happy until Edward was in my arms again.

I got up to make Alice and I a coffee. "Would you like something to drink Officer Monroe?" I asked.

"Sure, I'll take a coffee, two sugars please."

That's when I heard my cell phone ringing. I ran over to it and was overjoyed to see that it was Edward calling. This must mean he was alright and the cops had got to him and Jacob in time.

"Hello" I answered.

EPOV

We were standing on the top of the roof about five feet apart. I put my hand up to my forehead, where it was bleeding. I was probably going to need stitches, I could feel the blood oozing down the side of my face.

"Call her" he shouted.

"Call who?" I asked, even though I knew exactly who he was talking about.

"You know who. Put the phone on speaker"

I pulled out my cell and hit speed dial 1. Bella's number. When it began to ring I hit the button to put it on speaker.

"Hello" Bella answered. I could hear the smile in her voice.

"Hi Isabella. Any last words you want to say to your boyfriend" Jacob said.

"Jacob, please I'm begging you don't do this. I know deep down the guy I fell in love with is still there. You need help, I can get you that help. Just don't do anything stupid" she pleaded with him.

In the distance I could hear sirens approaching and see blue flashing lights. Good, Bella had called the cops on his ass.

"You bitch, you called the cops on me?" he shouted down the phone. He was waving the gun around. He was losing it big time.

"Yeah, don't get mad Jacob. If you hand yourself in and you can get the help that you need"

"I can't believe you did this to me. Say goodbye to your boyfriend" The gun was pointed at me again.

"Jacob, I'm pregnant. Please don't take away the father of my child" I could hear her crying.

"What?" Jacob asked what I was thinking.

I had mixed emotions of joy, and sadness. Bella was pregnant with my child, but there was a very real possibility that I would never see the child born.

As I looked over to Jacob I saw a look in his eyes. I recognized the look as being one of somebody who had hit rock bottom.

He took the safety off the gun and his finger, rested on the trigger.

A single tear rolled down my cheek as I thought about my unborn child, and that I would never again feel Bella's touch on my skin.

As the cop cars pulled up outside the building I heard the resonating bang of a gunshot and Bella screaming "Edward" down the phone.....

BPOV

I heard the gun shot down the phone "Edward" I screamed. No reply.

"Edward" I shouted again. Still no reply. Then the phone went down.

Officer Monroe had only just caught me as I collapsed to the floor in tears.

A/N I know you all hate cliffhangers, but I have to leave you wanting more. I promise this should be the last cliffie for a little while. Let me know what you think. Thanks :)
