I whipped around, my eyes wide. Andrew in all his deadly glory walked into my kitchen a sick smile on his face. His blue eyes were alive with anger only I could recognize. His muscles flexed under his black tee shirt. Drew looked the same as always.
"Bella, baby you didn't think I would let you run away did you?" He asked, his voice was deep and slightly raspy. I used to love his voice, I don't anymore. He sauntered forward to me, unconsciously I pushed myself back against the counter. I had a slight hope that he would kill me quickly and leave, but Andrew is going to drag this out as long as possible. I know him.
"Scared Bella? You should be, I will teach you what happens when you run away" he sneered pressing his body against mine. I turned my head away and squeezed my eyes closed wishing him away not that it would do any good. He pulled away and reached out and softly caressed my cheek before pulling back and slapping me hard.
"Bitch" he muttered.
My head spun from the force and hit the side of the cabinet making me fall to the ground. I couldn't see, the black spots clouded my vision, but they disappeared and I found myself on the ground with Andrew standing over me grinning.
He grabbed my arm and pulled me up roughly. He glanced over at the mess on the counter from me making lasagna. He held my wrist and pushed my forearm against the steaming pan. I screamed and tried to pull away but he held tightly and the moving only made it worse. Tears streamed down my cheeks I whimpered silently as he moved my arm to make it bigger and more painful.
He pulled my arm away but a layer of skin was left on the pan, I couldn't see clearly from the tears anymore. I couldn't think because of the pain, the burning of my arm. I looked down on it to see it look like an almost half moon.
Andrew pressed himself against me again and kissed my neck roughly, his hands moved over my body greedily. I tried not to sob, I closed my eyes and took deep breaths trying to calm myself.
Andrew moved his lips from my neck to my face, I relaxed and let him do what he wanted. I know I can't fight him and he only gets madder when I try. He moved his hands up my shirt onto my stomach. He dug his nails into my skin and clawed down my belly. I wimpered and squirmed he pushed himself on me so I could hardly breath.
He put his hands at my hips and gripped hard, I tried to move away but the only place I could move was closer to his body. I was gasping for air, he wasn't letting my get any though.
He grabbed my arms and moved me away from the counter while he was kissing me, Drew ripped my away from him not that I minded that part and threw me against the other kitchen wall. I slid down the wall into a crumpled ball on the floor. I think the wall might have cracked a bit.
Drew pulled a big sharp knife off the cutting board, he twisted it so it gleamed in the kitchen light. This is it I thought; he is going to kill me now. I don't want to die, I suddenly realized. I glanced around, I started to crawl to the front door.
Andrew was me and was coming towards me, I pushed a chair over and I had almost reached the door when Charlie's gun caught my eye. I yanked it off the holster and pointed it at Andrew. He smirked and walked closer to me. I reached behind me with my free hand and opened the front door. I stumbled out backwards into the rain.
I walked backward nervously. Andrew kept the same short amount of distance between us. Headlights swung down the street surprising both of us. Charlie's cop car swung into our driveway. I could see him already on the radio.
Andrew took advantage of my distraction to come closer to me, he had the knife at my throat while I had the gun pressed into his stomach. The rain already had me drenched.
"Bella!" Charlie called in alarm bursting out of the cop car.
"Don't move or I will slit her fucking throat!" Drew yelled grabbing a handful of my hair and yanking back so more of my throat was reviled.
"Shoot him!" Charlie yelled to me, I looked at the almost forgotten about gun in my hand.
"You can't do it Bella, you know that you deserve to die you can't kill me" he muttered in my ear, my tears blinded me. He's right I can't kill him, sure I don't want to die but I don't think I'm strong enough to kill him. Three other cop cars skidded to a stop on our street, officers jumped out guns drawn.
"I wouldn't do that, you might miss and hit little Bella, or maybe you'll miss me then I'll have to slit her throat" Drew's voice commanded attention, everyone was silent. "Guns down everyone or pretty Bella bleeds to death here and now" he called. Hesitantly they all dropped their guns and kicked them a couple feet away.
Drew grabbed my face in his big hand I tried to turn my face away from him. He glared at me, he flipped the knife so the handle was facing me and smashed the handle down on my shoulder. I fell but he held my arm up so I couldn't be on the ground completely.
"Fucking slut don't tell me you don't want it" he snarled I didn't respond. He brought he knife back up to my neck and let the cool metal touch my skin. Rain dripped off the silver blade. I wished he would put something cold on my horrible burn. My wishes don't seem to come true too often though.
"Bella!" Charlie yelled into the rain. I turned to see him come forward but Andrew flipped the knife around so it faced me, Charlie stopped in his tracks. Andrew smirked and motioned him backwards. Seeing everyone stand there with grim faces made something inside me snap.
I no longer felt anything, I didn't care anymore. Everything was just a dull roar in the background. It was like I stopped feeling, I couldn't feel the pain all over my body. I moved the gun away from him and just looked at it in my hand. It was cold and black. It felt heavy in my small hand.
"What the hell are you doing?" Andrew asked. A ghost of a smile appeared on my lips.
"You like being in control of me. That's why you are letting me hold the gun, you want me to know I cant kill you. You want me to be scared and beg for mercy hear me cry in pain, I think you get off on it. I'm not fighting you anymore Andrew." I told him looking at him but not really seeing his furious face. He pulled his fist back and punched me in the face.
I fell onto the wet ground the splash combined with the rain drops, but I slowly stood up again. I could hardly feel the injury. I glanced at the gun in my hand again. I let it lay in my hand and held it out to him. He glanced at it then back at me, his face was contorted in confusion and anger.
"What the fuck are you doing" he growled.
"Here, you can kill me now. You've done everything else. It's like I'm already dead" I pushed my hand towards him. I could hear Charlie yelling in the background but I couldn't concentrate on the words. I felt numb. Nothing mattered anymore. A car spun down the road; instinctively I wrapped my hand around the gun and spun to see a sliver Volvo stop and Edward fly out.
He looked frantically around; I whimpered a bit as Drew came up behind me and wrapped his arm around me keeping me here. Edwards's eyes darkened in color as he looked at Andrew. Edward looked terrifying; his hands were clenched in fists. The rain pouring over everything made it more theatrical and frightening. Edward started coming towards us, Andrew flipped the knife so he was holding it in a fist the blade pointing towards Edward.
"No" I screamed I tried to push Andrew but he wrapped his arm around me tighter. Edwards's steps slowed but they didn't stop.
"Stop" I whispered to Edward, he glanced at me and did. Edward looked towards Andrew his expression turned terrifying again, but I wasn't scared. Not of him anyway.
"Let her go" Edward growled out, his voice was low but it commanded authority. When he spoke everyone listened.
"I don't think so, I have the knife" he wrapped his big hand around the hand holding the gun in my hand. "And the gun" he moved my hand so the gun was pointing at my skull. "You want to die so bad Bella, go ahead kill yourself" Andrew muttered into my ear, I looked towards Edward he had a beautiful tortured expression covering his face.
"Oh so you don't want to die anymore. Hm, because of him?" Andrew growled, it was nothing compared to Edward but it still made tears stream down my face.
"Maybe I wont kill you, only him" Andrew threatened unwrapping his hand from my waist but he grabbed a fist full of hair on the back of my head.
"Stop, no. Me instead" I started sobbing, this is the exact thing I was trying to prevent. Andrew laughed humorlessly. I could see Edward's muscles tense up. We were only about 5 feet front of him, I could hear the cops yelling things but they were lost in the rain. Andrew pulled me around so he could speak centimeters from my face, I could feel his hot breath against my cheek.
"I'm going to kill him bitch, then I'm going to come back for you. I don't care how long it takes me to kill you I'm willing to wait fucking whore" Drew snarled. He let go of my hair and took a few steps towards Edward, the knife was raised.
"NO" I screamed neither of them looked at me, I was sobbing now. I had to save Edward. I raised the gun, it shook in the air. Drew was only two feet or less from Edward now. I pulled the trigger back, the gun jerked upwards and backwards from the force of the shot.
Blood splattered everywhere and stared seeping out of Andrews back, he fell to his knee's then face first onto the ground. The water diluted the blood, but splatters of it were still covering Edward and I. I muffled sob escaped my lips. Everything seemed dead quiet, the rain had stopped.
I dropped the gun and started to back away from his lifeless body. I did that, I killed a human being. I looked from Charlie and all the other cops to Edward, and I started to cry. I kept moving backwards until I tripped over something and fell.
Edward ran over to me, he stopped about a foot away from me. I just looked up into his eyes and cried harder. Edward closed the distance carefully and slowly, he scooped me up in his arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck and shoved my face in his neck.
I cried, I cried in his arms because of everything. It all went wrong. Everything messed up, now the whole freaking town would know my secret. Not only that but I just shot someone. I'm going to have to tell them all what happened and deal with all of the questions.
"Its ok Bella, you did the right thing. I just wish you did it sooner" Edward murmured into my hair, I just clung myself too him closer. He stood up with me in his arms, I could feel him moving.
"Is she hurt?" I heard Charlie ask Edward.
"Yes, she has a bad burn on her arm and several burses" Edward told him gravely, I heard Charlie take a deep breath. I had stopped sobbing by now, the tears wouldn't stop though.
"Take her to the ambulance, I'll follow in the curser. The other guys can finish up here" Charlie told him. Edward moved again, I opened my eyes to see him walking toward and ambulance. He got there and tried to lay me down on the bed, I gripped as hard as I could on him though.
"She needs to let go so I can check over her" a woman's voice said. Edwards cool hands laid me down on the stretcher and reached up to unlatch my grip he did so easily. I couldn't stop the sobs once he let go, I curled up in a ball and wrapped my arms around myself.
"Sweetie I need to check your injuries" she cooed quietly. After a could seconds of me not moving Edward stepped in.
"This can wait" he mumbled wrapping his arms protectively around me, I moved my arms so they wrapped around his neck and hid my face again. He sat me on his lap and covered me with his arms. He slid out of the ambulance smoothly and ignored the doctors on the way to the ER desk.
"Page Dr. Cullen tell him it's very important" Edward told them still holding me in his arms. I was still hiding my face.
"Isabella Swan? Girlfriend of Andrew Mort?" an unfamiliar female voice asked from behind us. I looked up to see a woman in a black skirt suit holding a mini tape recorder. A reporter, questioning me about Andrew. I was wrong not just Forks will know, the whole freaking country will know my dirty little secret.
