A/N: So… anxious much? Okay here's the next chapter…


Chapter 26

"Help! Help!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. Where was everyone?

EPOV

Alice force Bella into shopping and everyone else had decided to go out to eat at Johnny Rockets in the hotel shops. After dinner Riley, Jake, and I went down to the Tiki bar to get some drinks. Tanya and Mrs. Bottoms went shopping. Mike said he wasn't feeling well so he left early.

I glanced at my watch. It was 9:30 so I decided to run upstairs to get my swim trunks hoping Bella would be back so she could go with me. I got outside the door and I heard Bella's voice screaming. "Help! Help!"

I quickly unlocked the door and ran inside. I got to Bella's door burst through. Mike was holding Alice by the arms with her wrists above her head. She was kicking him but she was small he seemed like he didn't notice it. He had his hand up Bella's shirt and she was also fighting him. I saw the scared look on her face and the tears staining her cheeks.

I snapped. I ran to the bed and grabbed the back of Mike's shirt pulling him off of them. I shoved him up against the wall shaking him. "What do you think you're doing?"

I punched him in the stomach. "That was for Alice!" Mike started whimpering. I punched him in the face. "That was for Bella." I raised his knee and smashed it into his crotch. "And that was for ignoring my warning."

His crying form slid to the ground as I let go of him. I grabbed Bella's phone from the table and scrolled down until I had Riley's number.

"Bella?" Riley's voice was confused.

"Mr. White, it's Edward. I think you are needed in the room. Mike has overstepped his boundaries." I was seething with anger.

"Um, yes I'll be right there. Do I need to bring Jake?" He voice was frantic.

I glanced over at Mike's shaking figure. "No, I have him under control. Just come."

"I'm on my way." I put down the phone and crawled on the bed in between Bella and Alice.

Bella on my left and Alice on my right I pulled them into the safety of my arms. "Shhh, he's not going to hurt you ever again."

A few minutes later Riley walked in the room flanked by Jacob. "What happened?"

Bella's tremors started again but Alice had regained herself again. I let go of Alice and pulled Bella into my arms. "Mike tried to, rape Alice and Bella."

Riley's eyes seemingly flashed with anger. "He did what?" He briskly walked over to where Mike was collapsed. He turned Mike's head to look at the bruise that was already staring to form and his busted lip. "You're lucky he didn't kill you. I might have. Let's go." He grabbed Mike's arm and pulled him off the ground.

"Where are we going?" He sounded scared.

"Well, I'm going to call your parents and then I'm going to send you home." He turned to talk to Bella and Alice. "Will you two be okay?" Alice nodded and but Bella was just frozen. "Bella?"

"She'll be fine. I'll take care of her." He nodded and walked out the room dragging Mike behind him. "Okay everyone, out."

Alice wasn't as shaken as Bella but Jake followed her into her room anyway for moral support. "I'm calling Em."

I nodded. "He's going to be furious."

She sighed. "I know but I need to talk to Jasper." I heard her collapse on her bed.

Bella spoke for the first time. "I-I-I can't stay here."

I moved the hair from her face. "That's fine Bella, don't worry."

I picked her up gently cradling her to my chest. I carried her out of her room and into mine. I placed he on the barely used bed and closed and locked both doors. I wanted her to feel safe, and an unlocked door with her attacker in the next room was not safe.

"Edward, I want to go home." I pulled her into my chest curling my legs around her small form.

"Shhh, okay Bella. We'll go home. Just wait till Thursday and I promise if you still want to go home we will." I kissed the back of her neck.

She turned around to face me pulling her legs up to her chest. "Em's gonna be mad."

I smiled. "Yeah, I'd hate to be Mike."

She snuggled closer to me and I happily pulled her to my chest. "Don't worry love, you're safe now."

Her hand played with the button of my dress shirt. She started to unbutton my shirt. I grabbed her hand. "Bella, don't."

She broke out in more sobs, now harsher. "What's wrong? Don't you want me?"

I pulled her to my chest holding her as she fought against my strength. "Bella, I want you more than anything, but I can't. You're not ready." Her sobs quieted and she turned around so she was facing the window. She scooted away from me. I huffed and stretched out my arms pulling her to my warm body. "Isabella, stop it."

She kicked me and I let go of her. She scooted off the bed and opened the sliding glass door walking out onto the balcony. (A/N: Okay I know the Hilton in Daytona doesn't have actual balconies… but they do in my story) She sat down on the green plastic chairs and crossed her arms. I wasn't really sure what she was looking at. I gave her a couple of minutes to cool down before I approached her. I stepped out onto the balcony.

"Go away Edward." Her voice was ice cold.

"Bella, please just listen to me." She didn't answer so I continued with my thought. "There are people in the room next to us. I'm not even supposed to have the door locked but I do. Do you really want Jake and Riley busting through the doors to see us? Is that what you want? If so let's go. I love you Bella but I want whenever to be special."

Her eyes met mine and tears started pouring down them. "I'm sorry Edward."

I pulled her into my arms. "It's okay love. You're perfect lets just go. You need to sleep you're exhausted."

I led her back to the bed. "Edward?" She nuzzled my neck kissing it lightly.

"Hm?"

She yawned sleepily. "Tomorrow is our day off. Do we get to sleep in?"

I grinned and kissed her lips. "Not exactly."


A/N: Okay, I know that was super short but I promise to make the next chapter super long. They have a day off and there are tons I want them to do. Also Bella and Edward's date is tomorrow so you'll find out what they'll do for it! This is going to be great!
