Now lets pray the wait was worth it.
Chapter 13: Under the mask
EPOV
"Can you tell us about the woman in this picture?" the douche bag from Fox sports asked as he held up the morning paper.
He was smirking like I hadn't seen the fucking picture. Of course, I had seen the picture this morning. It was in every fucking newspaper and on every television station there was. I couldn't believe some fucking paparazzi prick was able to get passed my security and get the fucking photo. I had already gone completely ape shit twice over it.
It had only been two days since I had gotten on a plane and flew to Washington to play a fucking football game…
I knew as soon as I hit the hotel room I wasn't going to make it three days without Bella. I was already going fucking crazy and I had only been away from her for a few hours. I was keeping my pussy ass busy by doing mundane shit.
First, I took a shower to get the airplane sweaty nut smell off me, then I unpacked my stuff and finally, I got my suit ready for the press conference. I ended up pacing my floor with nothing to do and going completely fucking mad. I was thinking about the arms I desperately wanted to be wrapped up in.
I had become a complete and utter douche. Before Bella, I would take my ass down to the bar and pick up some bitch to bring back to my room and fuck senseless. Now the only thing I desire is a fucking woman who is over four hundred miles away. I was definitely now a pussy whipped bastard.
"Fuck!" I growled and yanked on my hair in frustration.
"I'm going to go fucking crazy." I said to myself as I paced for the hundredth time across the room. I decided I needed to get my mind off the fact I was away from Bella. The only problem was no matter what I did, something reminded me of her. There was only one way to solve this situation since I couldn't very well leave.
I fired up my computer and logged into my IM hoping like fuck she was online and not in class.
Jackpot!
She was available.

E: Thanks.
I logged out and sat the computer aside. I would definitely be remembering to punish her when I got home for rolling her eyes at me, but she was right. I needed to get ready for the game and go let off some of my frustrations. Kicking the shit out of some Redskin ass would definitely do the trick.
I grabbed my shit and headed for the door. It was only a half hour to the stadium from here and I wanted to be there before the media whores arrived. I hated fucking paparazzi and they knew it. I had sued almost every one of those fuckers and won. I also had made damn good and sure they knew that I upped my security. There was no fucking way in hell they would get a picture of me ever again without my knowledge.
The game went by without a hitch and of course we won. The after party should have been fun, but like pansy asses Emmett, Jasper and myself sat in a corner booth moping around. We wanted our women, but none of them where here. Even Rose, who was supposed to be, couldn't come because she had finals too. We only sat there for an hour before we all left to go back to our rooms. I was sure, just like myself, the pussies would be calling their women like I was going to call mine.
"Hello." Bella answered loudly and I could tell she was still in the pub.
"Hey Babe."
"Edward…hold on let me get where I can hear you better." She said over the screaming crowd. "There that's better." She said as it quieted down. "We won a shitload of money thanks to you." She giggled.
"Oh really, didn't bet against me this time huh?" I said sarcastically.
"Hell no we aren't crazy!" she giggled. "Are you back in your room?"
"Yeah," I sighed as I sat down on the bed.
"Didn't stay at the after party long then?"
"Nah…I was…wanting to do something more important," I said with a smile.
"Oh and what might that be exactly?" She giggled.
"You."
"Edward!" She laughed.
"What?"
"I promise to fix that for you as soon as you get back." Bella said and we continued talking about nothing for the next fifteen minutes. Alice, of course, interrupted us so I let Bella go. I needed to get sleep anyway because the press conference was early the next morning. I took my ass to bed not expecting my life to fucking change in an instant when I woke up.
The morning paper was outside my door and I picked it up as usual. I flipped to the sports section where I saw the fucking headline that changed everything.
THE MOST ELIGIBLE NFL BACHELOR OFF THE MARKET
I took off like a bat out of hell down to the locker room looking for coach. I wanted to know how the fuck a photo of Bella and me was leaked into the paper when Charlie was supposed to be some big badass motherfucker. I wanted to know how the hell I was going to fix this shi,t before she had cameras up her ass twenty-four seven, and I wanted to know what the fuck I was suppose to do now.
Edward Cullen made the big money not only because he was good at his job, but because he was the most eligible bachelor alive. This was going to put a damper on everything and a thorn in my side. So of course, without thinking my hotheaded ass took off to rip coach a new one.
Just as I came around the corner I heard Charlie and Billy having an argument.
"God Damn it Billy this is a fucking disaster. Bella's time has run out. There is no way that sick bastard won't see this and get on the first flight there. I have Paul watching, but what fucking good is it going to do. He could already have left without us knowing. If I had only caught wind of this fucking article twenty-four hours sooner!" Charlie yelled as something thudded onto the desk.
"I know Charlie…I know…I have Jake watching her like a hawk."
Why was Jake watching Bella and who the fuck was Paul? I was trying to figure shit out when the door swung open.
"Mr. Cullen…quit lurking around and get the fuck in here. There is shit you need to be clued in on as of this morning." Charlie said shocking the holy living hell out of me. It took me a few seconds to get my bearings before I was able to walk into the locker room.
"I was just coming to find out if you knew how the fuck someone got that photo!" I growled, pointing at the newspaper on Billy's desk, as I sat down.
"We have no idea." Billy said from behind his desk. "We were just trying to figure out what the fuck to do now."
"I'll have to do some damage control." Charlie stated matter-of-factly.
"Damage control?" I half yelled.
"How much did you hear Edward?" Billy asked warily as he sat forward in his chair.
"Not much." I said through gritted teeth.
"Do you love my daughter Edward?" Charlie blurted out with a serious look on his face.
"Of course I do!" I shot right back which surprised the fuck out of me as much as it did Charlie.
"Then you need to know everything so you can tell me why the fuck I shouldn't grab my daughter and run because her face is now plastered on everything I see!" he said irritated.
"That's the second time you've said run with Bella…what the fuck is going on?" I growled trying to contain my temper.
This man, even though he was her father, was talking about taking my world away from me. I was getting a little over protective and violent. I wanted to drop kick the fucker into next week, but I knew it would do no good.
"Isabella Swan does…not…exist Edward…not anymore." Charlie sighed.
"What?" I was about to go into a full-blown rant when he cut me off.
"Just shut up and listen." He said calmly which actually frightened me more than if he was to yell.
"Three years ago…Bella was in a relationship…a very abusive relationship. I had no clue of the danger she was in…I never would have known if it wasn't for Jacob." Charlie said looking toward Billy who just nodded.
"Jake and Bella have been friends since they were very little. You know they tried a relationship, but it didn't work out." He sighed.
I just nodded not wanting to think about the part I'm sure Charlie didn't know.
"Jake didn't want Bella to be lonely because he still cared for her, so he introduced her to one of his friends. Embry Call." Charlie hissed the guys name like it was venom and without missing a beat Billy took over the story.
"Embry and Jake were close from a very young age. Embry's father and I had also been friends for a very long time." Billy said with a smile. "When he died I moved his widow and little Embry down to the Quileute reservation so I could help her with the boy. Jake and Embry hit it off right from the start. Embry worshiped Jake and he was always in his shadow. People always thought Embry was Jake's little brother with as much as they looked alike. Probably could have been too if I wouldn't have stopped dating Embry's mom when she met his father," Billy chuckled.
"That was probably why things happened like they did." Billy said shaking his head and Charlie took the story over again.
"Bella had been dating Embry for almost a year when Jake came to me. He told me Embry was hurting her. Jake never went into detail and I never asked for fear of what I would learn, but I did however help Bella put a stop to it." Charlie growled.
"I confronted Bella when she came home from college one weekend. She told me that Embry had indeed been abusing her. She broke it off, but Embry was not letting it go. He was stalking her and completely ruining her life. He had even taken a shot at her with a pistol the week before." Charlie sat down on the desk and folded his arms across his chest as I shifted in my seat and let go of the armrests. I had been squeezing them so hard my knuckles hurt.
"I was completely furious and wanted to kill the little fucker for hurting my baby." Charlie continued.
"I tried to get the little bastard arrested, but all we only had circumstantial evidence. He got off with nothing, but as he left the court room I caught a glimpse of his eyes Edward." Charlie said and leaned toward me.
"They had no soul, no light, nothing…only complete evil. I had seen that look before and I knew he would never stop until he killed Bella or was killed himself."
"They let the fucker off?" I growled in frustration.
"Its bullshit I know, but the legal system doesn't always work for those it should. So instead of sticking around to see what happened I packed up her stuff, withdrew her from college and took off in the middle of the night." Charlie said rubbing his newly shaved head.
Neither Charlie nor Billy said anything as I sat there trying to process everything and make sense of it. It explained why she had refused to come with me and why she hated Forks so much. The reason Bella was so shy around people was because she was looking over her shoulder all the time. It explained why there was no record of her at the college. It also explained why she would freak out in crowds. It all came back to me and now answers she had given me to some questions I asked her made sense.
How I didn't pick up on the little things that were now going through my head I have no fucking idea.
"I've only had consensual sex once with Jacob." Now I got that one, but didn't want to think about what it truly meant.
"I've never given a blow job." Which now I understood perfectly and wished I didn't. Many things started coming together in ways I was grateful for and also dreaded.
"Who is she?" I asked in a near whisper.
"Elizabeth Dwyer." Charlie responded.
"What do we do now?" I asked with conviction as I stood up.
"Now…we prepare to fucking fight like hell to keep her alive and pray we're not too late." Charlie said as he stood up.
"Edward…can you tell us about the woman in this picture?" The douche bag asked again bringing me back from my thoughts.
It was the one question I had luckily not been asked over the last hour of this piece of shit circus. It was the one question I would now burn this whole fucking place down to avoid, and it was the one fucking question I was going to mother fucking lie to answer.
"The woman in the picture is my girlfriend, Elizabeth Dwyer," I stated with a smile wishing like hell it would be enough.
Wishing everything were as it had been, when everything was not a fucking complicated mess, when Isabella Swan was just a girl I loved. I wanted to turn back the clock, but it was fucking impossible, because now I was a man in love, who was going to do every fucking thing in his power, to keep Bella safe. I just hoped like hell Charlie was right and it wasn't too late.
Whew *wipes brow* that was definitely a lot to take in.
I guess that was a shock wasn't it Embry? Wow. I told you it wasn't anyone you would be thinking lol. There is meaning behind all my craziness and it will be revealed I swear.
Edward knows, so what do you think he will do about it. Is it too late? Has Embry already took off to get Bella? Will Jake be able to keep her safe?
Tune in next time for Crazy Ass Ex Stalker Boyfriend coming to kill me. Okay that was lame, but I couldn't resist hahaha.
