B POV
Edward took me to my favorite restaurant here in Phoenix. How did I get lucky to have such a wonderful guy like Edward? I constantly question myself everyday, how. But, I'm not complaining. Dinner was perfect.
"Edward, Have I told you I love you lately?" He chuckled.
"I love you more." I giggled. We finally pulled over to my house and there was a lot of cars pulled over at my drive-way. I wonder what this is all about. I looked at Edward and he just shrugged. We walked hand in hand into the house, the lights were dark so I decided to flick the lights on.
"SURPRISE!" Everybody yelled in the room. I'm sure my cheeks were cherry red from the attention. I smiled and went inside, I was greeted by lots of my old friends here in Phoenix. I missed most of these people.
I caught up with a few of my old friends from Phoenix. Edward left me to talk to them and went to find Emmett. I was talking to my friend Angela.
"So Bella, who's that boy you walked in with?" I blushed. Angela was my best friend here in Phoenix.
"He's my boyfriend. His name is Edward."
"He's handsome. Did I tell you about Ben?" Angela was really shy, but I guess without seeing each other for four months can make you very talkative when you want to catch up.
"No, is here?"
"No, he had a family reunion this weekend and couldn't make it."
"Bella?" I flinched when I heard the voice I dreaded to hear.
I turned around and saw that it was James. He had the nerve to come here. What was wrong with him. Edward was near-by I would just excuse myself and go and sit by him.
"What do you want James?" I said with as much venom I could muster.
"So it was true that you were in town. Couldn't call and ask to hang out now could you?" He smirked obviously having seeing me scared.
"I have to go." I muttered and made my way towards Edward, I couldn't make my way towards Edward because James grabbed my arm roughly. I winced in pain.
"No you don't. We have to talk."
"There's nothing to talk about. Will you let got of my arm." I spat acidly. Edward was finally making his way towards us. He wouldn't budge though.
"Didn't you hear her? She said to let go of her arm." Edward glowered over him.
"Yes, and who are you tell to tell me what to do and protect her." James sneered.
"I'm her boyfriend that gives me enough right so let go of her now." Edward shouted. Emmett was right there behind him and they both looked like they were about to beat James face in. James let go of my arm and stormed off to this girl Victoria.
"Are you okay, Bella?" Edward asked concerned.
"I'm fine really." He looked at my arm that James had grabbed and there was already a bruise forming.
"No your not." He said pointing at my bruise.
"Edward it's fine really."
"Okay." He didn't sound convinced though.
"Do you want to dance?" He asked.
"Edward I'm to clumsy, I'll trip and fall and a trip to the hospital is going to be required."
"I won't let you fall, I promise."
"Fine." We went in the middle of my living room and danced to 'Let me love you' by Mario. He put my feet on his feet and we swayed to the beat of the music. The night was perfect except for the whole thing with James. I got tired of dancing with Edward and I sat on a chair talking to some more old friends.
Edward went go get something in Emmett's room and Emmett went to go get a cake because Renee's attempt to a cake was a failure.
I felt somebody tap my shoulder and I turned around to see who it was. It was James.
"James you don't belong being in here, get out!"
"I told you Bella, I want to talk to you." I sighed, I guess I should listen to what he wants to say or he'll never leave.
"Fine, what do you want." He smirked. I didn't think anything about it. It was typical James behaviour.
He grabbed my arm again where there was bruise and he dragged me up the stairs towards my room.
"James let me go." I told him repeatedly. He wouldn't budge. I was getting mad and I felt the tears threatening to spill again. Where was Edward when I needed him the most.
He slammed shut my door and locked it. He threw me on my bed and smirked at me the whole time.
"What.. are you doing..." I gulped. It was a rhetorical question. I knew exactly what he was doing. I squirmed around trying to get out. He started unbuckling my jeans. I let the tears I had welling up spill. I sobbed. This couldn't be happening again. He then slid off my shirt, he unbuckled his jeans then I saw him fidgeting with my underwear. I screamed for help but the music was to loud for anybody to hear.
E POV
I decided to go and get Bella's present. It simple and I knew Bella would love it. I put the velour box in my pocket. That guy that was grabbing Bella's arm gave me a bad vibe. I hurried down the stairs but I didn't see Bella in sight nor the guy bothering her a while ago. I started panicking. I asked Renee if she saw Bella and she said she hasn't, I asked a couple more people and decided to look upstairs. I heard rummage upstairs in Bella's room. I tried to open the door but the door was locked.
"Fuck." I was aggravated. I heard someone crying in Bella's room and then I heard my angel voice.
"HELP!" She screamed frantically in the room. I tried to burst the door open with no luck. Then Emmett came upstairs trying to figure out what I was trying to do.
"Eddie, man what are you trying to do?" Emmett said jokingly.
"Em, this is no time for jokes. Bella is stuck in there and she was screaming for help!" I yelled frantically at him. He tensed up a bit and then he tackled the door. Then I did after the third time of Emmett tackling the door it fell.
What Emmett and I saw was what we never expected. There was the same guy from downstairs disturbing Bella trying to rape her.
I was beyond furious, I felt the rage boil inside me. I tackled the guy and swung and kicked him until I remembered Bella was in the room. Emmett took his turn in beating the guy until he passed out. Bella was on the bed sobbing uncontrollably.
I gave Bella some shorts I saw on the floor and I walked her towards Emmett's room. I called the police and waited patiently until they showed up. Emmett had him a choke hold, Renee was crying hysterically and everybody else that was at the party looked shocked.
They took the guy away and everybody started to leave.
"Bella, speak to me."
"What do you want me to say Edward?" Her voice cracked, and the tears spilled endlessly. It broke my heart to see Bella react like this.
I held her in my arms for a while.
"That was James." Bella said. I was stunned I had my suspicions but I wasn't sure. I can't believe he had the nerve to come in here and do this to Bella again.
B POV
Edward and Emmett saved me. I couldn't believe it.
I sobbed on Edward's shoulder for the longest time. I'm glad James is going to be behind bars now. He deserves that.
Edward, Emmett, and I were heading for Forks tomorrow. I'm glad I couldn't stand to be in Phoenix after that.
Renee looked like a mess, Edward looked infuriated along with Phil and Emmett.
I fell asleep sometime after that. I clung onto Edward's shirt, he tried to pry my fingers off his shirt with no luck. I mumbled 'Stay here please.' He complied and we slept in each others arms. This was my sanctuary.
The next morning came all to early, I told Renee I would call when we got home. I felt much better than last night, I felt like myself. Edward,Em, and Phil still looked kind of mad but it wasn't as bad. I hugged Phil and Renee and said thanks for everything and we were off to the airport. I rubbed soothing circles on Edward's free hand and he eased up a bit. After the flight was done Em and Edward were pretty much back to normal. I smiled. For the first time in months I felt like my life was going back to 'normal'.
AN: I was asked if I was going to make a sequel for this story and I have though about it and I think I might.
If I do it will be named 'Fighting to Live'
