Chapter 51

Bang!

Bella's POV

I could hear Jacob moving around upstairs. I gripped the lamp that I was holding tightly and stepped out of the living room. I quietly crept upstairs hoping nothing would give away my presence. As I got closer to the loud sounds of Jacob smashing objects in both Edward and I's bedroom a soft groaning caught my attention. I looked around and saw Edward lying flat on his stomach with his eyes open watching me.

"Get Emmett, don't go near him" Edward croaked. I looked back to the room where Jacob was rummaging through and then back to Edward. I was torn between helping Edward, beating the shit out of Jacob and getting help.

I breathed in deeply and took my pajama shirt off and wrapped it around Edward's shoulder to stop the heavy bleeding. I helped him over to the wall where he would be able to lean on. I kissed him as passionately as I could before grabbing the gun which he kept underneath his desk. That was the only gun I knew of; but I knew there were more in the house.

As I went to walk out of the office Edward grabbed my ankle and pulled me towards him. "Bella, don't be stupid. You're going to get yourself killed. Get help"

I loaded it and quietly walked out of Edward's office ignoring his pleas. I soon found myself on the other side of the bedroom where Jacob was. I aimed the gun at his head as he turned around to face me.

He let out a very dark laugh before smirking at me. I'm pretty sure he could sense my fear which was radiating off me. He started stalking towards me. He thought I wouldn't have the guts to actually pull the trigger and blow his brains out. There was still that horrible smile on his face which made me want to run a mile. But I knew that if I panicked and gave into Jacob both Edward and I would end up dead.

"Don't come any closer" I said as my voice shook with fear. It was now obvious that he knew I was scared out of my mind. It didn't even look like he was even fazed by the fact that I was pointing a gun at his head. "I'll shoot you"

"No you won't" He laughed. "You wouldn't even harm a fly let alone kill your friend"

"You stopped being my friend when you kidnapped me" I growled at him. He smirked and stopped coming towards me.

"Did you ever think about what life would be like if you hadn't have gotten together with Edward?" He asked me. "Did you ever think about how safe you would have been if you had just dated a normal guy?"

"What? Like you?" I scoffed. He smiled and shrugged as he moved closer to me.

"Maybe" He said. I held the gun even higher so that if I pulled the trigger it would hit him right smack bang in the forehead. "We could live a happy life. Get Married. Have children and grow old together"

"Is this what it's all been about?" I asked. "You liking me and me not liking you back?"

"Of course not" He laughed evilly. "It's also about your dumb ass of a boyfriend who decided to make a hit on me"

"What do you mean? Why would he make a hit on you?" I asked him still standing there with the gun raised pointing straight at his head.

"You have no idea on what that boyfriend of yours does when he's working, do you?" He said as he started walking towards me again. I was beginning to get nervous. I wasn't sure whether I would be able to protect myself and shoot the man who was currently standing in front of me. I had only turned around for a second before Jacob had run over to me and had the gun, that I was once holding, pointing at my head. "Now, this won't hurt a bit"

There was a loud bang and blood flew all over the room. Including all over me. I fell to the floor while silently crying for my life. Everything was becoming hazy, all except for the beautiful man in front of me. He kept telling me that I was safe and that everything was ok.

But I knew deep down that it wasn't.

Author's note: Hey guys. I've been stuck on this chapter for weeks and weeks. I kept getting different idea's on how this chapter could end. I finally decided on one. I know you may be confused about whether Bella was hurt or not. But sorry, you'll have to wait until the next chapter to find out what happens to both Edward and Bella.

Also, I've made a decision for the Isabella goes to the Volterra epilogue. I've decided to go ahead with writing one last chapter for the story just to finish it off. So keep looking for that chapter. It should be up in the next month or two. Thank you to all of the people who voted on my poll which I posted a little while ago. It helped me make my decision for the story.

Since it's the holiday's I've decided to try and update all of my still running stories. I know that I haven't updated in a while so I want to take some time and update them all.
