A/N: Just a small note, not sure if people know that Police are also called cops in NZ...

Chapter Fifty-Two

Shopping was good. I managed to convince Lizzie to let me buy some things using my own money. Edward had gone off to the music shop and me and Lizzie were just browsing the clothing racks.

"How about this?"

She held up a nice light blue blouse that had ruffled sleeves.

"I like it" I commented.

After a bit of arguing, it was decided that Lizzie would buy it for me. We paid for it and walked outside, finding Edward waiting for us next to the car.

"Can I drive now mum?" he asked.

"Okay, Bella and I will sit in the back then. Do you need to go anywhere else mum?"

"Nope, I'm good. I need to start cooking dinner once we get home. Do you need to get anything else Bella?" Lizzie asked.

"No, I think I have enough clothes to last me a few years now" I laughed. Lizzie started walking towards the car.

A weird feeling suddenly came over me, as if I was being watched.

Edward noticed my shiver and moved closer to me.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

I looked around, trying to see if anyone was actually looking at me.

"It feels like someone's watching me" I said.

"Do-do you think my dad could be back here?" I whispered, fearfully.

Edward looked around, searching for something. He wrapped his arms around me, tightening his hold on me as he looked in a particular direction.

"I'm calling the cops" he said, taking his phone out of his pocket.

I wrapped my arms around his waist, scared.

He had only just left me alone for the first time in my life and now he was back? Oh god, please let the cops catch him.

Edward got off the phone as soon as Lizzie was walking back up to us.

"Who was on the phone?" she asked.

"I called the cops. Bella felt like someone was watching her and I looked around and I saw someone in that alley over there. He was looking at me. He took off when he saw I was staring at him"

He pointed to the alley next to the shop that Lizzie and I were just in.

"Good thing you called the cops. Are you alright Bella?" she patted me on the shoulder in a comforting gesture.

"Just a bit shaky" I said.

Edward held me tighter against his chest, comforting me.

"The cops said to wait here until they arrive" Edward said.

"Okay, let's getting Bella sitting down in the car" I felt Edward and Lizzie lead me over to the car, placing me in the back seat.

He's back. I'm sure of it.

I may not have seen him but I'm sure it's him. I feel it.

"Are you alright Bella?" Edward asked.

I realised I was breathing faster. I took a deep breath and held it, trying to calm myself down.

"I'll be fine soon. Just scared" I admitted.
