So I decided to re-do chapter 4, just to get rid of some mistakes that I hadn't noticed before. Sorry for the late update though. I was really busy during my holiday and I couldn't write as much as I had hoped for. Sorry for the hold up. The chapter doesn't have a lot of changes though sooooooooo enjoy

Chapter 4

"Marcell?" I asked him getting really concerned. He looked like he had just seen a ghost,"Are you okay?"

"Uh, um, yeah why wouldn't I be?" He was lying.

"Are you sure about that? You seem frightened; like you just saw a ghost or something."

"Nope, not a ghost, just remembering something," He said a faraway look lurking in his eyes,"I have to go; lock all the doors."

I locked up, just as Marcell had told me to. I just realized that, that has probably got to be the longest sentence Marcell has ever said to me ever since I arrived here a few months ago. I started walking back to my apartment after making sure everything was closed and packed up.

As I walked down the sidewalk I heard footsteps behind me. They weren't quiet, but kind of loud, like the person behind me wanted me to hear them. I started walking faster, and heard the person behind me keeping up with my pace. I walked even faster trying to get to my apartment before the person behind me caught up. I heard the person behind me walk faster; I broke into a sprint and rounded the corner; I was almost there. I could hear the man break into a sprint with me. Worst day to wear heels.

I sprinted up the steps to my apartment fumbling with my keys as I tried to get my door open. I shut my door with a bang and locked the door as fast as I could. I put a chair under the door knob and ran into my room and locked its door as a wave paranoia swept in.

I tried to calm down, but it was practically impossible to do so. I finally calmed down after realizing that my door was locked and that there was no way anyone could get in. I double checked all the locks and windows, and got ready for bed.

I woke up the next morning completely drained of life. I was exhausted. I must have slept for a few hours, but I guess they weren't enough. I went to get some breakfast, but my fridge was empty...again.

I needed to go out and buy some groceries. I changed into some casual clothing and put my sneakers on. I left my apartment and made my way to the cafe. I saw Mandy wiping the counter, when I walked in. She was the one that worked here in the morning. She had helped me score a job here when I first moved here after dropping out of college.

"Bella, I haven't seen you in such a long time."

"Yeah, I know, the night shift drains me out."

"Want some scrambled eggs and coffee; it's on the house."

"Thanks," I could swear Mandy was an angel,"Hey, do you know who Edward Cullen is?" I don't know why I asked her that; it was like I felt like I needed to. She froze behind the counter and slowly turned around to meet my eyes; they looked exactly like Marcell's, completely frightened and horrified.

"E-Edward Cullen?"

"Yeah, do you know who he is?"

"Do you?"

"Yeah, he comes here every night during my shift."

"Bella, you have to stay away from him, he's dangerous."

"What do you mean he's dangerous; he's completely harmless."

"Looks can be deceiving Bella." She said "You have to promise me that you won't go near him again."

"Why, what makes him so dangerous?"

"He's part of the mafia, Bella. He is the son of the best mob boss around these areas, and he's his most lethal son. You have to stay away from him."

"Okay I'll try, but he comes here every night and I have a date with him on Saturday."

"You have to find another job; you can't be near him, it's too much of a risk, and you can't go out with him you have to stand him up.

The week passed really quick after that. I took Mandy's advice and had gotten a new job; it paid better. I stocked up my fridge, it was completely full now. I was planning on moving closer to my new workplace soon since it would be easier to walk to. Tomorrow was and Saturday I was gonna stay inside the whole time. Just for safety reasons.

Today was Saturday. I spent the day inside watching TV and stuff. When it was 6:30, I closed all my curtains and put the lights off. I figured that if he was in the mafia he would probably know where I lived.

7:00. This is it. I was peeking out of my window until I saw a black car. I quickly closed the curtains and ran into my room. Pathetic, I know. I was in my room for an hour when I heard some tires screeching... he was furious.

Epov

I could only see red and it was clouding my vision. I can't believe she stood me up like that; she must have found out about me. I wonder who told her about me. Maybe it was that Mike Newton guy, or the guy she works with at the cafe.

I pulled up into my garage and slammed my car door. I stormed inside my house and found my family in the living room watching TV. I ignored them and practically ran up the stairs promptly ignoring my mother as she called after me. I was in no mood for her antics. I rushed into my room purposefully slamming the door in Esme's face. I didn't care that I was acting like a teenager and being totally immature. I was angry, very angry. Actually I wasn't angry I was furious.

I started pacing across the room trying to calm myself down. I was going to find and she was going to be mine.

Yeah so just added a few things not much though sorry about the hold up again guys.
