BPOV
I woke up in the Cullen's living room, with Emmett's face right up close and personal with mine. I screamed and fell off of the couch. But I never touched the floor. Edward caught me before I actually fell. I looked up at him, and then I quickly looked down, remembering what just went down in the woods.
Someone coughed in the background, and Edward helped me up, lingering slightly, I took a step away from him, and looked at Emmett and sent him a glare.
"Nice Emmett!!" I couldn't help but smile slightly to let him know that I was only joking.
Emmett sighed in relief; he must have thought I'd be angry. Then he chuckled, looking amused.
"Damn Bella you should have seen your face. It was PRICELESS!!" He started laughing really hard.
"Yeah well Emmett, I'm not exactly used to waking up with people in my face, if you know what I mean. And what exactly were you doing so close, it's freaky."
"I was waiting for you o wake up!"
"Uh-huh and you couldn't wait like two steps to the left, not two steps above me."
"Silly Bells, course not, where's the fun in that." he smiled a silly smile.
"Bella how are you?" Esme always caring about everybody.
"Uhm, I'm fine, just a bit shaken up. What happened to Victoria?" I asked nervously.
"She got away, I'm so sorry Bella, but I promise you we'll get her and kill her you'll be safe again" Edward said with such seriousness, and fierce determination.
"Yeah Bells, nobody's gonna lay a finger on you, not with me around." He looked around at everybody else; they were all staring at him either amused, or with their eyebrows raised. "And them, they'll protect you too." He then leant in closer to whisper in my ear. "But I'll protect you more." He winked at me then shook his head at me laughing.
"Thanks Emmett, but there's no need. You guys are leaving anyway, and I'll be damned if you have to stay just to protect me. Anyway I had better go; Charlie is probably worrying about me."
I started to make my way to the door, when Edward quickly jumped in front of me. "You can't leave, it's not safe okay. Victoria's out there and she won't stop till you're dead, and I'LL be damned if anything happens to you." He looked me straight in the eyes as he said that.
I looked down, I just couldn't face him.
"Bella please just let us help you. Let ME help you." He was pleading with me now. More reason for me to look down at my feet, because if I look up I know that his eyes would be begging me.
"I've got to go, sorry. Maybe you should just leave like you intended to. I'll....... Look after myself" I knew that I couldn't protect myself against a vampire, and so did everyone else.
I had to get out of here, away from Edward. I just needed some time to think about everything. I side stepped Edward and made my way for the door. Until I felt someone holding onto my arm.
"Bella, please, don't do this. If anything happens to you, I'll....." He left the sentence hanging, he left me hanging. I shrugged out of his hold, and walked out the door.
For the first time realising I had no way to get home. GREAT!!
"Damn it, crap, far out!" I groaned in frustration. I was so annoyed I was just saying whatever came to my mind first. I heard Emmett laughing from inside.
"Don't worry Bella; I'll give you a ride home!" Alice was such a life saver.
"Thanks Alice I would really appreciate that." I smiled at her sincerely. She returned it.
Once Alice dropped me off at home I went straight up to my bedroom to think everything through. Edward, I sighed at thinking his name. I loved his so much, but it hurt me a lot by him just being around to help me. To save me. I felt like such an inconvenience to the family. I then lost myself in my thoughts about Edward, Victoria, Charlie, Jacob. Everyone and everything.
I hadn't realised just how long I had been thinking because now it was nightfall.
I then just realised that Charlie didn't come home.
I quickly raced downstairs, and soon found a note from Charlie saying that he was going to be out all night fishing with Harry Clearwater and Billy Black. I instantly relaxed. Until I heard a sound outside, just as quickly as I had relaxed I was now back on edge. I stopped breathing. There it was again. Someone was outside. I was terrified. The sound was getting louder and closer.
I quickly ran to the bathroom and locked the door. I sat against the cupboard, just after closing the blinds.
OH MY GOSH!! There's someone inside the house. A chair just crashed on the floor. I small sob escaped my lips.
Then all of a sudden the bathroom door banged open and in came....
EmPOV (Emmett)
"We've got to watch Bella, 24/7. She'll never be safe again as long as Victoria's alive, so we have to watch her. Emmett can you take first shift with Jasper?" Edward was freaking out, as usual.
"Yeah, sure thing buddy."
"Good, Jasper?" Jasper only nodded.
"Okay, good. Go now."
"Edward you need to relax." Esme was trying to calm him down as was Jasper. It just wasn't working he was on edge.
"I can't not as long as Bella's at risk. Do you realise I was going to leave her. Leave her in all of this mess. The mess that I caused. What if I had lost her?"
"Dude you were going to lose her anyway. You broke up with her. You hurt her."
Edward bowed his head down in shame. "I know."
"Edward you've got to tell her the truth. Why you wanted to leave her. She deserves to know." Edward nodded.
"I will. There's no possible way I can leave her now."
"All right, well me and Jasper will go now. Don't worry Edward we'll keep her safe."
"I know you will." He said with a tight smile.
So me and Jasper took off.
We watched Bella closely. But she pretty much just stayed in her room. It was so quiet, like she wasn't even there. If I couldn't hear her heart beat, I wouldn't have known any better.
Then out of no where, Bella got up and bolted down the stairs, surprisingly not tripping.
But then we got a call from Alice saying to watch Bella really close because someone was going to frighten her really badly. She couldn't see who, but someone was out there.
Me and Jasper walked slowly closer to her house. The gravel crunched a bit under out feet.
Out of no where Bella's heart started to accelerate. We took a few steps closer. She then ran up the stairs, and locked the door. Jasper and I looked at each other, and then we quickly ran inside. Her house was pretty small, and my big build didn't fit very well, I crashed into a chair. Then I heard a small sob coming from upstairs. Me and Jasper ran up the stairs, and I busted open the bathroom door.
Then I heard an ear splitting scream. From Bella.
CRAP!!
