For the next several weeks, or a month and a half, I was back to the sneaking in and out of my apartment mode. I saw him almost every single day, and it hurt too badly than it should. I often found my self in tears just because I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. He was just a college crush, wasn't he? Then why was I so crushed that I couldn't even talk to him now? Part wondered just how bad it would be if I suddenly started talking to them again, but then the other half warned me of the pain I had felt in college, not good pain. I was so miserable then, I didn't want to go back to that broken hearted girl I was than; especially when I had the choice. But sometimes fate fights against us.

I was sneaking out of my apartment on a Friday, to go enjoy a nice dinner since I had gotten a raise. I tripped of course, always did, probably always will. I had been moping around my apartment and at work all day. I hadn't seen him today, but I had other things on my mind for once, so I didn't think about the possibility of him walking out of the elevator just as I was pulling my keys out of my bag. I was digging through my bag, IPod buds in my ears, 'Disappear' by Beyonce was playing. I sighed, my bottom lip jutting out in frustration. I hated it when I lost my keys. I finally found them and pulled them out just as he was walking behind me. I didn't notice only because of my IPod, stupid, stupid Bella and her IPod…

I locked the door easily and stuck my keys back in my purse, in a place I knew I would find them again. It all seemed to happen in slow motion. I glanced up in the direction of Jasper's dorm just as he looked at me. This is the bad part, you know, when Bella's heart is utterly crushed to pebbles by his bright green eyes and their warmth. Our eyes met for one moment, but my mind reacted faster than my heart and I looked back down before I actually realized I had looked at him. I gulped, turned and walked over to the elevator. He did a whole spin around to look at me but kept walking type of thing before Jasper's apartment door opened and I heard Emmett yell.

"Yo, Edward's here, let's go!" I had both my lips curled into my mouth to try and subside the burning in my eyes and nose. The tears were so close to trickling down my cheek, it was amazing they hadn't already. I clicked the lobby button and the doors quickly closed just as I heard his voice ask.

"Do you know the girl in that apartment?" And there, right there exactly, is where Bella's heart is crushed to nothing but pebbles and ash.

The next morning I didn't get up till it was a good twelve o' clock. I sat up and yawned, sitting cross legged in my bed. The thing I liked most about my room was it was like my office at work. One entire wall was actually made of glass, so it was a window. I smiled to myself, the sunlight reaching just barely onto my bed. I climbed out of my bed and tripped my way to the bathroom. I took a quick shower, and tried to ignore the pain of my ash heart. After getting dressed in a simple pair of jeans and another Henley long sleeve shirt, only in blue this time, I walked into the kitchen to grab myself some Lucky Charms. That's when I found out I needed to go to the store, and sighed. I ate quickly and prepared myself to possibly being crushed all over again.

I put in my IPod just in case, and turned on 'Crush Crush Crush' by Paramore. I locked my door quickly and was happy to see that he wasn't coming out of the elevator. I pulled my shirt down a little, tucking my IPod in my back pocket. I sighed as I waited on the elevator as it came up to my level. My song changed and I pulled my IPod back out, trying to decide which song to. I didn't notice the person standing right next to me, staring at me with the most pained face ever made. The elevator opened and I walked forward, not noticing as the person next to me snuck behind me and staying out of sight. I sighed again, shuffling through my songs. Little did I know, he was right behind me, so taunted to speak to me.

I finally decided on a Three Days Grace song, 'Over and Over'. Just as I decided on a song the elevator opened and I walked out into the lobby. He followed a good distance behind me, his eyes intently watching me like I was a wild animal that would strike at any moment. I walked outside into the cold rain, and waved down a cab. I pulled out one head phone to tell him where I was going. He stood back at the entrance watching as the cab driver took me away. And to think, I had no idea he just saw me. Bella, he just saw Bella. That's when Tragedy sped it up a few notches. Edward would be just a little late.

I got home from the grocery store in a daze, my IPod still going. I was listening to 'Super Massive Black Hole' by Muse now. God, I loved that song. I put everything away, and decided that I actually wanted to go out to eat. I put my IPod on the charger, since it was beyond half dead already. I brushed my hair and fixed up my makeup before walking out into the hallway and locking my door. I didn't know that down stairs, where I was going, Tragedy was waiting for me. I walked over to the elevator, clicked the button and waited patiently for the doors to open. When they did I tripped a little as I stepped in, pressing the lobby button. Everything sets into horror movie form now. Just as the doors shut another opened and Edward said goodbye to the others, making his way down to the elevator. He watched as the levels blinked in a gold light going further down to the lobby.

My heart stopped just as the doors opened and a gun shot went off. I watched as the lady at the front counter, fell out of her seat. One man was holding a gun, still aiming it at her, laughing drunkenly. I had already stepped out of the elevator, which was closing behind me. I was in too much of a shock to step back inside to safety. The men looked at me and the one without a gun made his way over to me. I pressed myself against the doors now, my heart still not beating properly. The other man, ran behind the counter and into the employees lounge. Just as the man without a gun got close to me, the lights went off everywhere in the building. I wasn't even able to get a scream out before I felt something sharp and cold pressing into my neck. I grabbed at the man's hands as he laughed, the other man who had the gun appearing with a flash light. I was on the ground after that, kicking my feet with tears running down my cheeks. Tragedy was faster than Edward.

The man with the gun was leaning over me laughing. His breathe smelled strongly of alcohol, it made me want to throw up. The man who held the knife to my neck chuckled, leaning forward and biting at the tip of my ear. I pulled at his strong arms with no success, whimpering like a child. I struggled around at his arms, my legs kicking at the other guy. My eyes flew to the elevator, it hadn't gotten anywhere near my level. It was only at level three. I felt the knife dig deeper into my skin and started coughing. The man with the gun chuckled again, placing his hands on my hips as I struggled.

"She's a tiger isn't she?" he joked. I couldn't stand to look at him as he leaned forward and dragged his lips across my threatened neck. The other man slowly slid the knife to the side, not cutting through though. I was forced to stare at the elevator and cry. The man with the gun continued to kiss and lick my neck, laughing as if it was a game. The other man enjoyed the terror he could send over me if he pressed the knife harder against my skin. All I could do was stare at the elevator and wish it worked right now.

The man with the gun slid his hands from my hips to the button on my pants laughing again. I cried out again, not able to hold in the fear. I fought again at the man with the knife against my throat. The first name that came to my mind was the only one ever on my mind. Not that he was anywhere near, the fear took hold of me and I couldn't help it.

"Edward!" I screamed. The man with the knife jerked it away from my neck and covered my mouth with both hands, he obviously thought fear would control my vocal cords. The other man was busy attempting to undo the button on my pants, which he was too drunk to see in the dark. The flash light flickered next to me and he looked over at it. He was reaching for it when an idea hit me and I instantly kicked it across the room. The light spun around and uncovered the lobby. The man with the knife grabbed the knife, pulled up m shirt as much as he could by himself, while holding me down, and quickly cut a very deep and painful slice on my stomach. He was too busy holding me down to cover my mouth when I screamed out in pain.

The other man came back with a few flashlights, one for him and one for the other, laughing. He put it in his mouth and leaned over me again. He looked at my stomach and laughed.

"Well this'll be bloody fun, won't it?" he joked, smiling at me. I screamed again, but the cold, sharp, and dangerous knife met my neck again so I shut up. Tears were pouring down my face as I struggled to get out of their grasp. The man with the gun returned to kissing my neck, right next to the knife. He was practically laying on me by time two minutes had gone by. It seemed like this was al taking forever, but it had only been about ten minutes. I started coughing again as I felt a small bit of blood trickle down my neck and soak into my shirt.

"Don't fucking kill her yet!" the man with the gun advised, licking at my bloody neck. More tears came as the man with the knife laughed.

"Yet, you here that girlie, yet," he taunted. I started straight out sobbing then, not able to take it. I didn't think about it yet again, and screamed. The man who was licking my neck kicked my leg as hard as he could. I jerked up and felt more blood trickle down my neck. I wouldn't be surprised if he just hit the major blood stream with the knife. I started coughing again, another minutes passing by. The man with the gun cursed at me.

"Looks like I won't be able to enjoy this as much as I wanted," he almost yelled. I looked at him, worried now. I had been down here for a good twelve minutes, the last twelve minutes of my life.

"Guns are made to go bang, bang," the man with the knife teased me. I sucked in a breath as the man with the gun set it to the side, focusing himself on unbuttoning my pants. My breathing stopped again, along with my heart. I started crying immediately. I started kicking again, pulling even harder at the man with the knife. I squirmed around and it took him a good minute or so just to get me to stop. But it was already too late. I decided I didn't care, and screamed again.

"Edward!" I screamed as loud as I could. The man with the knife suddenly stood up, dragging me to my feet and walking towards the door. The man with the gun grabbed his gun and aimed it off in some direction I couldn't see, since the man with the knife was attempting to turn me away from him so I couldn't see.

"Looks like we have to take the fun with us," the man with the knife laughed. I pulled at his arms again, tripping over the chair and taking the man down behind me. I landed next to him, his hand dropping the knife. I was so relieved for one moment, till I realized he dropped the knife and I fell back into it. I screamed as my mind realized the knife was in my back. The man laughed as I fell forward, it burned so badly. "Bella!" I heard someone yell, and then there was a few gun shots. I coughed a few times, spiting out blood. The man who had the knife before quickly stood up and ripped it out of my back, grabbing my hair and pulling me to my feet I stumbled to my feet with tears running down my face.

"Bella!" the voice yelled again. I recognized it this time, just as I stood up and the knife returned to my neck, pressing harder and harder to my skin. I had no more strength to talk normally, but it came out in a whisper. "Edward," it was cracked and broken. I saw him come into view just barely, and then I saw both Emmett and Jasper also, a few other men I had seen coming and going. They must have volunteered to help. I started coughing again, which mixed with sobbing. The man dragged me outside into the dark night, it was raining. The man with the gun laughingly opened the door and shot inside a few times, just randomly shooting. I grinded my teeth together as the man with the knife threw me into the back seat of their car and then tossed a blanket over me. I struggled to breath right my hands over my neck. Then as the climbed into the front seat, and the car suddenly started moving really fast, everything went black…
