Chapter 25- Party Crashers
"Ohh look at the happy couple. Lets' clap for Edward and Bella everyone." Josh and his posse came out from the bushes and started to mock-clap at us. The music went silent and everyone stood still. Everyone started to form a circle around us, Josh and his gang including. I stood behind Edward. His stance was defensive and ready to attack if he needed to, hopefully things wouldn't go that far.
"Well Bella, I see you're doing well. You finally look alive. So you're feeding her Cullen? Well actually the question is: how are you feeding her? Did you rob a bank or something or did your fucked up brother finally get a job?" His mob snickered, but Josh was serious.
"Josh!" I barked at him softly but he didn't hear me or just ignored me. I ignored the remark he made about me and was mad about what he was saying to Edward. It was like the dinner all over again.
"I mean, how much money has Bella given you for this whole stunt? Or are you two actually in love? I might think so because the bitch never looked half as good for me. I mean look how close these two are." Josh raised his arms and made a circle so everyone could notice. I realized that I was peeking behind Edward's arm as he held my hand tighter. Josh got closer.
"So Bella, I'm guessing this your type now, but babe come on, why would you go so low?" Edward's hand was turning into a fist around my hand. "Edward, no please." I whispered to him as Josh kept offending us.
"I mean seriously Bella, what do you see in him at all? You look so much better with me. And Edward, I know Bella is a pretty cool chick and all but you took her from me and that's not nice man." His tone reminded me of the dinner at my house, taunting.
Josh grabbed me and ripped me away from Edward's grasp. Josh was quicker in grabbing me than Edward was holding me back.
"Let her go." Edward's voice was mad, stern. He stared intensely at Josh.
"I mean come on people. Look at us, we look amazing." He walked around in the circle, his hand on my waist, showing me off. I managed to get away from him and got back to Edward's side, his face filled with shock. I felt like his posse was circling us within the circle, we were starting to get ambushed. Josh had a sly smile on his face and turned his back on us.
"So Edward, have you fucked her yet? Cause you know what they say, the richer they are, the better they do it."
Edward completely lost it and punched Josh in the face. Josh's posse grabbed him from behind and threw him to the ground and started to punch him and kick him.
"Stop! Stop it!" I yelled, but it wasn't helping, it was making things worse. I started to cry, Edward being beaten to death in front of my eyes. Josh grabbed me by my arms and yanked me to the bushes.
"Let's go babe." Josh touched my cheek but I tried my best to turn away.
"Bella." I heard Edward's strained voice yelling after for me.
"Edward!" I yelled at him as Josh pushed me within the bushes.
The gun shot was fired.
I turned around towards my house, thinking that my dad would hear it.
I turned back around to the crowd
and Jasper has the gun pointing straight up at the sky.
"Stop! Stop! Josh bring Bella back!" Jasper yelled. I felt my arms pulling away from Josh and a boy from the guys' school, Mike, grabbed Josh. I turned around and I saw two other guys Eric and Tyler holding back the two who were hitting Edward. I ran to Edward still on the ground. Jasper helped him up. Even after everything I saw, Edward wasn't showing his writhing pain, but I knew he was hurt. He shook Jasper off and was heading towards Josh now. Josh shook out of Mike's grasp and walked up towards Edward. Edward gave him another punch in the face and Josh tried to give Edward one but Edward tilted his head back. Edward kneed him and kept punching him. I kept yelling for both of them to stop but it was useless. Jasper and Mike finally separated them again and Mike dragged Josh to the bushes.
"I'll get back at you Cullen." Josh yelled, being taken away. Jasper helped me get Edward to the car.
He sat Edward down in the passenger seat. "If you need anything just call me Bella." I nodded, I was in the verge of tears but I waited until I got into the car. I was crying hysterically, the picture of Edward on the ground stuck in my mind, never being erased. I couldn't see the ignition with the tears in my eyes, my hands kept shaking but I managed to drive away.
I couldn't stop crying as I was driving back to the house. "Bella let me drive." Edward tried to reach out to me from the reclined seat, but I could hear him grimace under his breath with every little move he made.
"No Edward just don't!" I waved to him frantically, yelling at him. I wasn't angry with Edward. I wanted to, but I couldn't stand seeing him in pain. I wanted to know why he decided to continue to fight with Josh, but my voice was too shaky to get anything out.
He reached over and stroke my cheek with his bloody knuckle. That made me speed up and cry even more. If I got pulled over I would have to explain to my dad the situation, the image popping into my head again.
I made it to the house without being noticed and I frantically took off my buckle and I ran to Edward's door.
"Emmett, Emmett! I need your help!" I tried to pull Edward out of the car. My tears wouldn't stop.
Emmett paused in front of the door and ran when he saw what the situation was.
"Ohh shit! What happened?" Emmett put Edward's arm around him and led him towards the house.
"I got in a fight with Josh." Edward mumbled. His lip was starting to swell and he began to doze off.
"Bella, go inside and take a drink of water, I'll handle this." I didn't notice that I was hyperventilating but I ran inside the house and grabbed the water. I chugged the whole thing at once. I sat back in the couch and I hugged my knees and started to cry again. From the corner of my eye, I could see Emmett drag Edward to the bathroom to clean all of his blood and that made me cry even more.
I stopped crying after a while, my tears already ran out. Exhausted from crying, I fell asleep on the couch. The cold and Emmett's shake woke me up.
"Bella, I tried to clean him up the best I could but we need to take him to a doctor."
"Okay, what time is it?" I said out of instinct.
"3 in the morning. You can go into his room if you want." Emmett pointed back to me. I was just waking up and realized Emmett was whispering, Edward must be asleep. I reluctantly went to Edward's room, knowing that if I cried when I see him, he'll be more hurt.
From the small crack of the open door. I could see the perfect angel face ruined by bruises.
I sat down in the chair and tried to get myself as comfortable as I possibly could. "What's my angel doing over there?" After all the bruises on his face, he still smiled. I obediently walked to him, knowing that the closer we were to each other, the better we both would feel. He held my hand and pulled it a little so I would lie down next to him. I lied down and put my face in his chest and my arms. I didn't touch him, afraid that he was going to feel more pain.
"Come here." He moved slightly and wrapped his arms around me. With every little move, I could hear a soft groan. I didn't move at all in Edward's arms, afraid I was going to hurt him. I tried not to breathe heavily either, keeping an even pace. I looked up at him, just moving my eyes and I could see his face clearer now because it was twilight. I didn't want to close my eyes, if he needed me, but exhaustion beat me.
