Bella's POV

"Hello, Bella," James practically sneered at me. The alcohol on his breath was so heavy, I felt myself getting drunk just breathing in.

I tried to squirm out of his grip, but it was too tight. His filthy hand covered my mouth.

I bit down hard. I tasted the salty, iron taste of blood and gagged.

"Argggggg," James yelled and smashed me against the brick wall.

My head hit the wall with a crash. It burned. I got up and tried to run past.

James grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to him.

"Where are you going beautiful? You know both you and I have wanted this since we met." He breathed in my ear. His slurring was getting annoying. I was scared and I feared the worst.

I heard a rip and saw the strap of the dress rip from James strength. I tried to zone out.

I pictured myself in a lovely meadow. Grass green and wild flowers spotted around stretching towards the afternoon sun. There was a border of trees surrounding me. I lied down on the grass looking at the clouds. I heard foot steps and looked at the edge.

There was Edward, in all his glory of course.

"Bella, I love you." He said in my dream.

I didn't know when, but I felt tears come down my face. I wanted to get away from James; I had the urge to live. But then, there came the thought of Edward cheating on me, the tears came faster.

Rip, there went the other strap.

James's hand caressed my cheek as gently as a sick drunk person could.

"Don't cry Bella, I might let you live." He cooed over me with his alcoholic breath.

I shuddered. I wish I could be saved.

I turned as fast as I could and kicked James in the dick with my short heels. I was so happy I let Alice convince me to wear these.

While he fell to the ground, I ran.

I kicked my shoes of and bolted as fast as I could. If anyone saw me, they would have seen a brown haired girl, make up smeared, looking like hell with a ripped dress running like the speed of light.

I kept going.

Finally, when I was about what I thought was a mile or so away, I collapsed.

"Excuse me Miss?" I heard a voice ask.

I cringed away, still crying and wiping my smudged mascara and make up from my face.

"Sweetie, I won't hurt you," said a middle aged woman with caramel colored hair.

I shuttered and shook my head no.

I got up and walked away, still crying. I was pretty sure I was lost.

After fifteen minutes of walking around, I was confused where I was. I was cold, barefoot, looked disgusting, and still crying.

I sat down on a bench and pulled my knees up to my chin and sat there crying.

Then, a car pulled up; a silver shiny Volvo.

"Bella?" A familiar velvet voice called.

I cried even harder. Now my dress was getting wet too.

"BELLA!" Edward shouted as he got out of his car and wrapped his warm arms around me.

"Hhow didddd yooouu fiiinddd mme?" I said trying to stop crying.

"That doesn't matter right now. What happened? Are you okay? Let's get you home or to the hospital." He said ushering me to the car.

I took a couple deep breaths and calmed down a little bit.

"How did you find me?" I asked again.

"I don't know, I just had this feeling." He said looking me over.

He got to his apartment and helped me up.

"I need to tell the others that I found you, okay? Why don't you get something to drink and sit down?" Edward said as he took out his cell.

"Yes, I found her. I am going to stay with her tonight, and I will find out the story. Bye." Edward said before hanging up.

"Bella, I need to know what happened, why is your dress ripped?" He asked looking very concerned.

"James" I whispered as quietly as I could.

"JAMES! He fucking did this! That son of a bitch is going to feel the worst possible death ever!" Edward raged. I had never heard him swear so much before.

Edward took a couple deep breaths and returned to normal breathing.

"I am sorry; did he get any further than ripping your dress?" Concerned Edward asked.

"No, but he hit my head against a wall, but it doesn't hurt so much anymore." I said.

"Let's get you cleaned up and calmed down." Edward said leading me towards the bathroom.

"Bella," Edward kept whispering over and over as he helped me draw a warm bath and undress.

I was shaking and didn't want to be alone.

"Edward, bath with me?" I asked. I could stand being alone, and I needed his contact. I needed him there with me emotionally.

"I could never deny you anything," He said as he got into the tub pulling me down on top of him.

He rubbed my back and helped me relax, I felt better. But I was still worried that he may be cheating on me with some one.

"I love you, Bella" Edward said.

"Edward," I started nervously.

"Yes, my love." He responded.

"When you were one the phone this morning, who was she?" I asked kind of scared to find out the answer.

There was a pause of silence. The only thing heard in Edward's huge white bathroom was the sloshing of water and the sound of our breathing.

Finally, he opened his mouth to speak. And I was ready to hear what he had to say.

A/N: Whoops! Another cliff hanger! Guess what! I refuse to write until I get more reviews! So if you want me to continue the next chapter, I need some reviews! Until then, adios!
