Bella's pov:

"What are you doing?" I screamed.

He didn't answer but he did pull away. "Interesting." He murmured.

"What!" I snapped.

"Even after all of this time you still smell of him."

"What?"

"You heard me."

"But that's impossible." He's been gone for ever, I shouldn't' smell like him, if I smelt like anyone it would be Jacob, I saw him last—" I thought aloud to myself.

"Jacob?" He said, confused.

"Uh…just someone I know." I said. I wasn't just about to go spill the beans about his pack to a complete stranger.

"So he's not your boyfriend?" He asked, concern on his face.

"Jacob? No, he's just a friend." I said, how could he think that I was going out with Jake?

"O.K, good then." He said with relief.

"Why?" I asked, dread in my voice, if he kissed me again I would break into even smaller pieces than I had already been broken into.

"…because…I—I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me."

"I don't know you Tom! I'm not just going to go out with a stranger!" I screamed. Outside I probably sounded pretty fierce but I was really falling apart.

I hadn't dated anyone since Edward had left, my romance life would always belong to him, but after jumping off of the cliff I had wanted to.

I had finally accepted that he wasn't coming back and that he didn't love me, and I hated him for it.

I had wanted to go out with someone else, either to fill an emotional void of just to break another promise I don't know but I did want to.

And now I had my chance to, and I wasn't going to take it. I still loved Edward and I would never be able to love this man as much as I did him. And I wasn't going to waste my time trying to make myself fall in love again.

I was breaking. I was practically on the verge of a melt-down, and Tom was standing there in front of me, watching it happen.

Suddenly he got this weird twisted look on his face and I realized that I needed to get out of there, or I might be hurt.

I looked around myself, searching for a way out and my eyes rested on the open window.

That window's twenty feet up Bella! You'll kill yourself!

My thoughts were right, I probably would've killed myself…if there wasn't a tree.

Tom was looking the other way, trying to control his anger, it was now or never.

I took a deep breath and jumped.

Before I had time to take hold of the tree I felt two cold, hard arms wrap around my waist.

"As if you could outrun me," he laughed bitterly.

I gasped as he quoted Edward, he had said the same thing to me at the meadow…

I was forced back into reality as I felt him dragging me back into the house.

"No!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. "No! Somebody help me! Somebody help me—!" I was cut off as Tom slapped me.

I gasped, he had just hit me! I could feel myself starting to lose consciousness, My cheek burned and was starting to swell up, my jaw was probably broken. Tears cascaded down my face as I was dragged back into the room.

Suddenly the loudest most ferocious roar I had ever heard split through the quiet, night air.

That's when I passed out.

A/N: hmm, who was roaring outside of Bella's room…you'll only figure out if I continue and I'll only continue if I get reviews, so review! (Mwahahahaha, I'm evil, tee hee hee :D )
