Chapter 38

Bella's POV

I didn't get a very good sleep last night. All I could think about was what Edward was doing. Was he sitting in his office with both Emmett and Jasper beside him or was he lying in an alley way with a bullet through his head.

At 6:30 I decided to get up and got down to the kitchen to make something to eat. But when I got down there I saw Alice and Rosalie sitting at the table silently.

I sat down opposite Rose and next to Alice for at least ten minutes before someone actually spoke.

"Do you think their going to come home today?" Alice whispered as she rested her head on the table in front of her cold cup of tea.

"Who knows" Rosalie said. "For all we know, they could all be dead"

"Don't say that, Rose" I said. "We all know that they are some of the strongest men around. They would never leave us if they had a choose"

"Bella's right" Alice said.

"We have to stop thinking about the negative and start thinking about the positives" I said. Rosalie nodded and stood up from her seat.

"I think I'm going to go upstairs and try and a get a good sleep" She said before walking up the stair case leaving both Alice and I.

"Maybe we should try and get some sleep as well" Alice whispered. I nodded and walked upstairs with her.

"Night" I said as Alice closed the door to one of the two spare bedrooms. I walked into my spare bedroom and lied back down onto the bed.

As soon as I was about to pull the blankets over my body I heard my phone ringing in my hand bag. I jumped up and raced over to it hoping it was Edward.

"Edward" I practically yelled into the phone.

"Yeah, it's me" He breathed into the phone. I smiled and walked back down to the lounge and took a sat down on the window seat at the front of the house.

"Are you all ok?" I asked knowing that would be the first thing Rosalie and Alice would want to know when they woke up.

"Baby, I'm sorry for yelling at you before" He said. And as fast as lightening everything started coming back to what happened when we first arrived at the house.

"You killed Jacob" I whispered.

"Baby, you have to believe that I didn't do it intentionally" He begged. "He threatened that if I didn't make a check for ten million dollars by next week he would kill you"

"So, why didn't you just give him the ten million dollars" I said. "Maybe he had a good reason why he needed it"

"He didn't have a good reason" Edward said. "Jacob started taking drugs a couple of weeks after you met him a few months ago"

"I tried to get through to him that drugs wasn't the best way of handling life" Edward whispered. "But he kept saying that he needed drugs to survive"

"To survive" I said. "I've heard of lots of people who need drugs to survive"

"I doubt he was talking about a health problem" Edward said just as Alice and Rosalie walked down the stairs.

"Hang on a minute" I said to Edward. "Couldn't sleep" They both shook their heads and sat down on the couch next to me.

"Whose on the phone?" Alice whispered.

"Edward" And before I could go back to talking to Edward the phone was ripped out of my hands and pressed up against Rosalie's ear.

"Is Emmett ok?" Rosalie cried into the phone. I heard Edward chuckled before a loud noise which sounded like Emmett talking to Rosalie. Alice quickly snatched the phone out of Rosalie's hands and ordered Emmett to put Jasper on the phone. She smiled when she heard his voice and handed me back my phone so I could talk to Edward again.

Dude, she's my sister I heard Emmett whine in the background. If I want to talk to her I don't have to have permission from you

"Bella" Emmett said into the phone. I smiled and put the phone on speaker phone.

"Yeah" I said. "You're on speaker phone"

"Can you make me one of those mud cakes I like for when I get back" He said sweetly.

"I'll see what I can do" I said as I laughed at my older brother. We talked for a little while longer before leaving them to their work.

"I think knowing that they are all alive now, I will be able to get some sleep" Alice said as she walked up the stairs with Rosalie right behind her.

I didn't know how long I had been asleep for, but I was woken up by a loud bang and a crash.

I looked around the room and saw that every window in the kitchen, living room and dining had been smashed.

Rosalie and Alice all ran down and grabbed me before pulling me upstairs and into Rosalie's walk in woodrobe. She quickly locked the door and pushing her chairs and tables against the door.

I ripped out my phone and dialled Edward's number.

"I didn't think you'd still be up" Edward said. "Do you miss me that much?"

"Edward" I whispered as we all hid behind Rosalie's clothes.

"Bella, what's wrong?" He asked franticly.

"There's men in the house"

A/N: Hey guys. I can't believe that I am already up to chapter 38. Sadly, this story is going to be over very soon.

But the great thing is that the next story will be when the whole family making and marriage thing will start happening so make sure you don't give up on this story.
