Previously: I recounted my story for him. He tensed up a couple of time through the story, but he stopped breathing completely when it came to the part where he hit me. I made Edward promise me several more times that he wasn't going to do anything. By the time, I finished with my story I was crying once again. Edward held me while I cried out all that I was feeling at that very moment.
"I don't feel like going back to work." I muttered into Edward's chest.
"You know you don't have to." Edward said.
"Well you see there's this little thing called rent, and if I don't go to work then I won't be able to pay it." I sighed.
"You know if you moved in with us then you wouldn't have to worry about rent. Besides you're a full time student that should be your job." he said.
"I don't know about that" I said.
"Why not, your excuse before was the Owen wouldn't like it, well he's not in the picture anymore, so what's holding you back?"
"Give me a little while to think about it ok." I said.
"Alright." he said sadly.
I grabbed his hand and started back to the diner. When we got through the door, I immediately noticed the chaos going on inside.
"You know what, I change my mind, I'm ready to be a full time student." I said, not wanting to have to deal with annoying customers today.
"I had a feeling you would feel that way." Edward smirked as he grabbed my hand and dragged me back out of the diner.
"Edward, what are you doing? I still have to talk to Richard about quitting." I said.
"Don't worry, I already talked to him." Alice said, popping out of thin air.
I looked back and noticed that all the Cullen's were following Edward and I.
"You guys are quitting too?" I asked.
"Well Bella, Why would we stay? The only reason we were there in the first place was you, and now that you're gone we have no reason to be there." Rosalie reasoned.
We got to my truck and Edward all but pushed me into the truck, I also noticed that Alice and Rosalie squeezed into the passenger seat.
"You're not coming with me?" I questioned Edward who turned to walk back to Emmet and Jasper.
"No, Love, Alice and Rosalie are going to help you pack up, while Emmet, Jasper, and I go and make sure everything is set at the house." he said.
"Alright, I'll see you soon then." I said. I gave him a quick peck and drove off towards my apartment.
Edward's Point of View
"What's up Edward, I can tell you're plotting something." Jasper said, once the girls left.
"I think it's time, we paid Owen a little visit." I growled, letting my calm façade drop.
"What do you have planned?" Emmet asked.
"I don't have a plan." I said bluntly, as we got into my car. I sped off towards Owens's apartment, doing twice the legal speed limit. I pulled up to the curb and leapt out of the car. I couldn't wait to get my hands around that vermin's neck.
I kicked down the door and walked into the apartment in search of that vile human being. I quickly spotted him sprawled out on the couch.
"It seems the bastard, drunk himself unconscious." Emmet said, picking up one of the many bottles on the floor.
I grabbed Owen by the shirt and dragged him into the bathroom; I put on a freezing cold shower and threw him in.
"I want him to be awake for this." I seethed.
Owens scream of surprise echoed off the bathrooms walls. He jumped out of the shower and I quickly threw him up against the wall.
"Who the hell are you?" he screamed at me.
"I'm the last person you want to piss off." I said tightening my grip around his neck. I relished at the sight of his face slowly changing to a purple color.
"Edward." Jasper said, putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Edward." Emmet yelled as dragged me away from Owen. "Edward we can't kill him." Jasper said.
"He has to pay for what he did to Bella." I growled.
"Oh, don't worry I plan on making him pay, but let's just keep him alive." Emmet said "Jasper are you going to be able to handle this, with the blood and all?"
"I'll be fine; this isn't something that I want to miss." Jasper said.
I turned around to find Owen trying to sneak past us. I drew my arm back and punch him in the nose, just hard enough to break it. When he straightened himself, I drew back my arm again, this time I punched him on the jaw. I let Jasper and Emmet get a couple of hits in, but I couldn't handle not hitting him anymore, so I drew back my leg and kicked him in the gut. I picked him up enough for him to see my face.
"If you even think of hurting Bella again, you won't live to regret it." I threatened.
"You can have her; she's just a whore after all." Owen slurred. His words hit me in the wrong spot, and I banged his head against the wall, effectively knocking him unconscious.
I took a couple of deep breathes and walked out of the apartment.
"How did it feel?" Emmet asked with a smirk.
"Better than I thought." I said.
"I already called Alice, He's going to remember what happened, but he's not going to remember what we look like, so there's no need to worry about that." Jasper said.
"Let's go home. It's been to long since I've seen Bella." I said as I got into the drivers seat.
"Man, you saw here an hour ago." Emmet said.
"And that was to long." I said as I sped of towards our house. We pulled into the driveway the same time the girls did. I quickly went over to Bella and gathered her up in my arms. I noticed the knowing looks Alice and Rosalie were shooting at me, but I ignored them and paid attention to the beautiful angel in my arms.
Bella's point of view
I broke away from Edward, and we all headed into the house. We were met with a very enthusiastic Esme.
"Oh, Bella, I'm so glad that you decided to move in." she said, as she gathered me up into a hug.
"Are you sure, I'm not putting you guys out?" I asked shyly.
"Bella, honey we have more than enough room for you here." Esme said. "Now go upstairs with Edward, while I fix you something to eat."
Edward and I walked up to his room and when we walked in, I noticed that some of my stuff was already spread around the room. I peeked inside of the closet, and instead of finding my clothes, I found a bunch of clothes that Alice bought me.
"Alice." I muttered.
"Alice will be Alice." Edward smirked, as he held out his arms for me. My heart melted at the gesture and I hurried to the place I will always belong, in Edward's arms.
Review, please.
