Chapter 25: Enough

EPOV

"Hey Edward that was a good game last night," Mason said catching up with me. "Where's my sister?"

"Thanks, she's probably still in the yearbook-newspaper room. She can get lost in her pictures." I laughed thinking about her. "I have stood in the doorway watching her. One time it took her ten minutes to notice me."

"That sounds like her," he said laughing with me.

"Speaking of," I said getting my phone out. "Hey baby I …"

"I don't want to force you but I will if you make me. I'm going to fuck you and show you who's better." The voice was muffled like her phone was in her pocket but I knew that voice Jacob Fucking Black.

"Bella's in trouble," I said putting the phone on speaker and running to the other side of the school. Alice saw us and ran over Mason explained what was happing.

"Now it time for our first kiss. I will show you what a real kiss is." We were almost there. I heard a hit I'm sure of it.

"You bitch what the fuck was that. I going to enjoy forcing you now." I heard as I pushed through the door.

"I don't think so." I said angrily. I took in the scene in front of me. Jacob was cradling his face. Bella looked terrified and her t-shirt was pulled out of her jeans some and there was a chair on the floor. He forced her out of her chair. I saw red.

"Bella its okay come here sis," Mason said. "Alice is waiting for you outside. Are you hurt anywhere?" I saw her shake her head my eyes never leaving Black.

"Edward?" She sounded so scared I couldn't look at her it would break me. I needed to finish this.

"Go Bella," I said harsher than I intended to. She walked through the door and I laughed at the look on Black's face. "What's wrong you were so brave before? What happened to your face?" I laughed again. My girl could throw a punch his eye was already swelling.

"I'm pressing charges on that bitch." He said. I stopped laughing.

"Come on its time to go on a little drive and we'll talk about it." I said pointing towards the door.

"I'm not going anywhere with you." He said. I pressed play on my phone.

I'm going to fuck you and show you who's better." I pressed stop.

"I think you are, let's go." I said pointing to the door again. Jasper and Emmett were waiting by my car. Alice had called and filled them in. I tossed them my keys and got in Mason's car. We drove to the border between Forks and La Push.

"Okay this is what's going to happen…"

"Four on one what's wrong Cullen can't fight your own battles." He sneered.

"Tisk tisk tisk didn't your mommy teach you manners. It's rude to interrupt. I guess because you don't treat women like you have been treating my Bella." I growled. "Besides their here for your protection not mine." I said stretching my arms. "Now as I was saying I'm going to let you have one free shot." I gave Emmett the signal. Please take it so that you threw the first punch. The smile on his face shows he's stupid enough to take the bait. Oh you better make it a good one. It's the only one you are going to get. He punches me in the jaw. Perfect it will show that he threw the first punch idiot.

"I'm gonna kick your ass then go fuck that bitch. Maybe I'll make you watch." Perfect keep talking dumbass. When he swings again I dodge it easily and attack. I punch him hard in the ribs. I know that hurts like a mother. He swings again with less force I dodge it again and go for his other ribs.

"I'm gonna enjoy forcing her to fuck me. I will have her screaming my name in no time."

I dodge another punch and go for his gut. He doubles over in pain. "Are you done yet? Are you going to leave Bella alone?"

He coughs and spits on the ground. Then he stood back up. "Fuck you and that bitch. I told you she will be mine even if I have to force her."

He stumbles and tried to throw another punch. I go for his gut again. He doubles over and falls to his knees. Time for some answers, "What did you do to her today?"

He looks up with a smile on his face. "I watched her from the doorway. She really should be more aware of her surroundings even at school. I told her it was time for us to be together. I tired of waiting for her to come to me like my Dad said to. I was going to force her to kiss me and then she would see I was better for her. Dad said we would make strong offspring and would take over Forks and then maybe more of Washington." They are crazy his Dad needs help. I grabbed her by the waist and made her stand up when I went to kiss her the bitch hit me in the fucking eye."

I heard the sirens and stood back up and glanced at Emmett he was still recording and got his entire confession on tape. He started recording after I told him about the free punch thing of course there's no need for me to get in trouble here.

Two cruisers pulled in and looked us over I had a nice bruise forming on my jaw but Jacob had a black eye. How did the police know where to find us you ask? Chief Swan of course Alice called and told him where we were going of course. He stepped forward and said like he didn't already now, "What's going on here?"

"These guys jumped me four on one sir?" Jacob said smirking at me. The officers looked at the rest of us for our stories.

"Mason, Jasper, and Emmett weren't involved in the fight. He assaulted my girlfriend at the high school. We were driving him here so he could walk the rest of the way home. He threw a punch at me. My brother recorded the fight." I said pointing at Emmett. "I will be honest I wanted to scare him a little since he is a little punk. I only threw a punch after he threw one at me." One of the officers looked over the tape and nodded in agreement with my story.

"My sister is the one he assaulted earlier today she is currently with Dr. Cullen being looked at. She's the one that gave him the black eye." Mason said.

"I need to step down from this case. Emmett give officer Marks the tape from your camera please. I am putting him in charge. You boys need to give your statement to these officers and I want that one taken in. My daughter will be pressing charges. Edward are you pressing charges on him as well?" Chief Swan asked.

"Yes," I said filling out the paperwork. We were told we could go for now but will need to go into the station at some point to fill out some paperwork.

I drove home and Mason returned to the school to get Olivia and Emma. He had left them at the carnival.

I walked into my house and went to Dad's study I was worried about my Bella. It was empty as was the living room and kitchen. I headed upstairs maybe they put her in Alice's room. Nope it was empty. Mom came out of my room, "Edward what happened to your face?"

"Jacob." She nodded and led me to my room. Bella was lying on my bed asleep. Alice was sitting next to her holding her hand. She looked up and saw me. She gave me a weak smile before letting go of Bella's hand and moving so I could take her place.

I sat down and rubbed my thumb over her cheek. "Did she tell you what happened?" I asked the room.

"No son," Dad said shaking her head. "She's in shock. She needs to sleep it off and then maybe she will be able to talk about it." I nodded.

"I want to stay with her." I said.

"Of course son, do you have any other injuries?" he asked looking at my jaw.

"No Dad he took the bait I left. It's the only hit he landed." I said smirking.

"Did you hurt him badly?"

"Unfortunately no I couldn't claim self defense and beat him with in an inch of his life like I wanted to. I only hit him after he threw a punch at me."

"Dad the police are here to talk to Bella and you," Alice said from the doorway. I stiffened.

"I can't believe Charlie would want to question Bella so soon." Dad said.

"Charlie removed himself from the case." I said.

"I will tell them they need to wait because she is in shock. Son don't worry." Dad said leaving.

Alice gave me another weak smile and closed the door.

I slipped off my shoes and socks then grabbed a fresh pair of boxers and sleep pants from my drawer. I grabbed a t-shirt from my closet and then took the quickest shower of my life. I left the bathroom door open incase she woke up.

I lay down behind my girl. Mom came in with some ibuprofen Dad said to give me to keep the swelling down and a bottle of water. "Thanks Mom she's gonna be okay right? Did he hurt her anywhere?"

"She has some bruising on her waist and her hand looks like she hit him. We think he grabbed her from the waist but he didn't leave any other marks on her. We need to wait and see how much damage he did when she wakes up."

"I don't know when she called me. I mean I don't know if he hurt her before she called but I heard her punch him over the phone. He has a black eye." I said smiling.

"I'm going to trust you alone with her. I have to be at the dance and your Dad has to work. If either of you need me just call. I wanted her comfortable and Alice is already getting ready for the dance. I know you planned on taking her but I think she needs to rest and so do you."

"I know Mom I'm not in the mood for a dance tonight I just want her better." I said before she left.

I lay back down and was playing with her hair, "Bella baby I love you so much. Please be okay." I said.

"Edward," I sat up quickly. "Don't worry he's not here to question her. I wanted it on record that I'm not interfering with the case, so asked Officer Marks to accompany me here. I just needed to see her." Charlie said.

I nodded and started to get off the bed. "No you can stay there. I'm trusting you right now to take care of my little girl. I asked your parents if she could stay here tonight. Please call me if she wakes up." I nodded as he kneeled down and rubbed his fingers across her cheek. "Bella please be okay sweet pea. I'll check on you later princess." He said kissing her forehead.

Charlie wasn't an overly emotional man. He didn't wear his heart on his sleeve but in that moment I could feel the love he had for his daughter. I always knew he loved her but now I could see and feel it.

They left and I lay back down and closed my eyes happy to have her safe and next to me.
