Don't Forget To Remember Me.
Chapter-24 Bella's Point of view.
"Bella, Look at me." Edward told me in a stern voice. I didn't though. I remained as still as a statue, crying.
"Bella." He growled. "Who is it?"
I was sniffling and hiccupping. I was trying o calm myself but in this state it wasn't helping. I was still trying to calm myself when suddenly a thought occurred to me.
Ian.
I gasped. In a hurry to make sure he was safe, I dashed to his room not even bothering to explain to Edward. In my haste to get to Ian I hurt myself on the door but I didn't care.
When I made it, I sighed in relief to see he was sound asleep. Edward rounded the corner and he looked just as breathless as me. I tiptoed to Ian's crib-careful not to wake him-and then stroked his cheek. I began crying again and I crumbled to the floor. How can this be happening again?
"Bella! Please, tell me!" Edward pleaded. He was staring into my eyes and I sighed before hugging myself to him. Crushing him to me in a vice tight grip.
"Edward he's back. He's back and he's going to kill me now!" I cried.
"Bella, you keep saying he's back but I can't help you or make you feel better if you won't say who." He said while still hugging me.
I took a deep breath before saying his name.
"Ph...Phil." I stuttered.
Edward's hand clenched. His jaw clenched as well.
"How?" He asked with an intense fire burning. His green eyes turning black.
"I...on my way to the store earlier. There was a car following me but when I got to the store it was no longer behind me. I shrugged it off but then inside the store I bumped into a man who looked familiar to me but I couldn't place who it was. I never thought it would be phil. He looked so different and I didn't think he would come looking for me. I hadn't recognized him so I left the store but on the way home he was following me again but when I got home he vanished. It was like he was never there before. I didn't think about it but it was bugging me and I finally figured it out! What are we going to do?! He's coming after me!" I cried, clawing at Edward's shirt.
"Bella, why didn't you tell me?!?" Edward hissed.
"I didn't think anything of it until now. I thought maybe it was a coincidence. " I said.
"Bella, do you know why he would want to come back?"Edward asked.
"For me? I don't know. Revenge most likely." I said before a thought came to me and I gasped.
"Edward What's today's date?" I asked.
"The 12th of September. " He said. After he said it I think it clicked to him and I knew we were both thinking the same thing.
"My birthday."
"Your birthday"
We said in unison.
"But that makes no sense he...killed my mom on my seventeenth birthday. If he really wanted revenge he would have done it sooner! Not barely now." I told him. Edward thought about it before shaking his head.
"It all depends Bella. When you went on trial for what happened how much time did he get?"
"I wasn't there. My mom's best friend Cindy who I was close to went on trial, but Phil did have money and he could have done something to get out of it." I said in fear before a shiver ran down my spine.
"Maybe parole?" Edward suggested.
"No, that can't be it. It'd be too early for him to earn parole I think."
"Well I can't think of anything else Bella. We need to do something. I won't let you get hurt again. Not after all we've been through." He said.
"Edward, I don't know what to do." I said panicked.
"Calm down. I won't let him get near you, I promise. Maybe you should call Charlie, most likely he will know what to do." Edward said. I nodded.
"Your right, I should call Charlie." I mumbled numbly with just a single tear sliding down my face.
I quickly got up and then went to the bedroom where my cell phone was and then sat on the bed to call Charlie. I was vaguely aware of Edward sitting next to me now.
On the third ring a sleep sounding Charlie answered. I looked at the clock to see it was now two in the morning.
"Hello?" Charlie answered groggily.
"Dad? It's Bella." I croaked out. I sounded on the verge of tears again.
"Bella? Baby, what's wrong? Are you okay? How's Ian?" He asked hurriedly in a panic.
"Dad, calm down. Ian's fine, but we have a big problem and Edward suggested we tell you right away." I told him hesitantly. I knew that right when I told Charlie he would be angry. Charlie has always held a grudge against phil. He would flip. I could hear the wheels turning.
"So What is the problem then Bells?"
I took a deep breath to steady myself. Here we go. I thought silently. Edward wrapped his arm around me.
"Ph..Phil is back." I choked into the phone.
There was a moment of silence before Charlie responded.
"Bella how do you know?" He asked. I could tell he was angry. I could just see the black in his eyes, the clenched fist and jaw.
"He was following me earlier when I went to the grocery store and then inside the store I bumped into him only I didn't know who he was. I couldn't recognize him. Then on my way home he followed me again before he vanished like he was never there. I didn't figure out until later though that it was him. I remember now. He's come back to hurt me. What if he gets Ian dad? What if-" I was cut off suddenly by Charlie.
"Bella stop! I swear if that man hurts you or Ian I will kill him myself just to end all of the crisis. I'm pretty sure Edward is on the same page as I too. Now you, Edward, and Ian need to get on the next flight back to Forks now. The sooner you're out of phoenix the more safe you are. I suggest you pack your things, get all the stuff you can and leave. I will be waiting for you guys to get here and I will inform the rest of the Cullen's about this but make sure you do everything fast. I love you Bells. Be safe." He said with a sigh.
"Okay, I will dad. I love you too. Thanks." I said before closing the phone and looking up at an expectant Edward.
"Charlie said we need to pack as much we can and get on a plane back to Forks." I told him with tears spilling down my face.
He hugged me to him.
"Bella, I will start packing up. Can you go get Ian packed up?" He asked. I nodded before leaving.
I made my way to Ian's room and began packing his clothes, bottles, bib, diapers, wipes, etc.
once I had everything packed of Ian's that I could pack I went back to mine and Edward's room to help him pack.
He already had multiple suit cases packed and he was finishing packing up one more bag. I quickly went to help him but he was already done.
"Edward, what about Fez? And the Volvo?" I asked before wiping my face of tears and hugging him.
"We can take Fez since you have a carrier but the Volvo would have to stay here." Edward said.
"Oh." I said.
I left the room again and went to put Fez in his carrier.
"Sorry Fez." I said as he gave me sad eyes and a soft meow. I picked him up then in the carrier and set him down by the door. I went back to Edward and he was sitting on the bed while pinching the bridge of his nose.
I went over to him and I hugged him tightly to me.
"Edward? Are you mad at me?" I asked.
He quickly looked up and I saw his green eyes.
"Bella, I could never be mad at you. I'm just worried about you. I promise." He said with a smile. I could see he wasn't lying and I was grateful.
"Are you ready to go?" He asked.
I nodded.
"Bella for your safety and Ian's I am going to go put the bags in the car along with fez just in case Phil is somewhere near watching you. I promise I will be right back but you need to put Ian in his car seat for now." Edward told me.
"No, Don't leave me!" I cried. "Stay with me. We can go together outside."
He pulled me into a kiss.
"Bella, nothing's going to happen your overreacting. I swear, I will come back but I just need to do this so you won't need to carry anything." He said when he pulled away from the kiss.
"Okay." I said giving up.
He gave me another kiss and then gathered up the suit cases and Fez before going outside to put the things in his Volvo. I sighed and then trudged to Ian's room to put him in his car seat. When I reached his room I picked him up while he was still sleeping and went to the living room. I rocked him the whole way there and then I gently put him in his car seat before buckling him in. He had on a cute pajama on and I left him in the living room while I went to get him a beanie since it was a bit cold along with a blanket that I had left in his diaper bag. When I got everything I needed I went back into the living room with Ian's diaper bag and his stuff before placing the beanie and blanket on him. when I was done a small chuckle escaped me. he was so small and huddled up. He looked so peaceful and I couldn't even think what I would do if anything happened to my baby.
I was suddenly broken from my thoughts when Edward came into the apartment . I yelped and freaked out. I ended up falling and I hit my head on the side table. It wasn't enough to make me bleed or anything but it hurt like hell.
"Ow!" I said.
Edward then ran over to me and helped me up. He sat us on the couch and rubbed my back. I calmed down and looked up at him.
"I'm sorry if I scared you love." He said before he kissed my forehead.
"It's fine. I'm just really paranoid."
He nodded.
"Are you ready to leave?" He asked for the second time. I nodded
"Yeah, let's go. "
