Hostage Chapter 4, a twilight fanfic

Chapter 4

I'll be there when your heart stops beating
I'll be there when your last breath's taken away
in the dark when there's no one listening
in the times when we both get carried away
when we both get carried away

she says it all without a thought in her head
she says it all as she's pressed up against me
a little something just to take off the edge
a little more and I'll fall off the planet entirely

When your heart stops beating by Plus 44.

Edward

I hated paper work, it was the most boring thing to do in the world and instead of filling it out, and my mind would zone out and think of the goddess that had most likely already left the store. It was a cruel world out there. I had finally had some peace of mind when Emmett left, I could take a breath.

I had been doing paper work for about half an hour when my stomach started grumbling. Looking at the clock on the wall of my office, I realize that it was one o'clock in the afternoon. Yes, lunchtime. Was it dumb that a grown man was happy about lunch time? I always believed it but here you see me.

I had started walking out towards the store when I heard a gunshot. Even being in the back of the store I ducked. Shit, I did not want a gun situation right now. I sped up my steps to see what was happening. I saw a man dressed in black holding up a gun and people frantically looking around the store or running out in the mall. He raised his gun towards people and yelled.
"EVERYONE GET TO THE FOOD COURT OR I WILL SHOOT YOU ALL!" People started scurrying out of the store. I stayed in place until the man left with the last group of people. I ran back to my office and grabbed my cell phone and dialled 911.

"Hello, 911. What's your emergency?" Came a nasally voice.
"Hello, there's a hostage situation at the mall right now, and a man just walked into my store and I heard a gunshot, I don't know if anyone got shot but everyone is in the food court right now except for me I believe. I haven't ventured out-"
"Sir, are you sure this is a hostage situation?" I huffed.
"Do you really think I would make up a hostage situation? What kind of question is that!"
"Sir, could you please calm down? Now, what's your name?" I sighed.
"My name is Edward Cullen. I own Unreal Music at the shopping center." She hmm'ed a coupled times.
"Alright M. Cullen, could you tell me what the man looked like?"
"I couldn't see his face well, but he was dressed in black. He looked a little older, maybe late 50's? I don't think he's alone. He's around 5"11, Caucasian."
"Thank you, M. Cullen. Now, please do not venture out in the open of the shopping center. Call if anything else happens." The lady hung up quickly and I breathed in a sigh of relief. The cops would be here soon.

Looking around the store, I was surprised at how messy it looked. There was CD's everywhere. It would take a while before I had everything cleaned up. I started going to the opposite wall to the back, where none of the gunmen could see me if they walked by when I noticed the blood on the wall. Shit, someone had been shot. I started walking again when I heard a gasp and a grunt. It sounded like someone was in pain. I moved towards the sound and looked around everywhere. I heard a huff and headed towards the rock section of the store where the blood was.

I was turning the aisle when I gasped in shock. There on the floor was my goddess, her eyes were closed, her face pale. I could see the perspiration on her brow and she was losing a lot of blood. I ran forward, noticing she was clutching her rib cage. I dropped to my knees in front of her, pushed her hair out of her face. I checked her pulse, a little worried that it was beating very fast. She sighed and was starting to lose consciousness.
"Wake up! Please wake up you beautiful girl! Don't die! C'mon let me see those eyes!" I had just found her and she was dying. This world was cruel. I started tapping the floor beside her head, to wake her up. I desperately needed her to wake up.
"Shh, I'm trying to die." I sucked in a breath at her voice, shocked that she would be willing to die.
"No! NO! NO! C'mon wake up! Open your eyes!" She started moaning in pain and opened her eyes. "Good girl, c'mon don't fall asleep on me, I need you to stay awake." Her eyes were a beautiful brown color, I felt like I could see her soul through them.
"I'm sorry if I will fall asleep, I won't last long." I started shaking my head.
"Not if I can help it! What's your name?" She tried sitting up and I helped her. She hissed in pain and fell back against the wall. She sucked in a breath and answered.
"My name is Bella. What's yours?" Beautiful.
"My name is Edward Cullen." She giggled.
"Fitting." I was confused.
"What do you mean?"
"I didn't see you as an Alex or a Matt. Edward is very fitting; it's also an old fashioned name." I chuckled.
"Is that the first thing you thought of me? What name fit me?"I smirked at her.
"No, I was thinking a beautiful man like you must have a happy family waiting at home for him."I chuckled.
"The only family waiting for me is my parents and siblings. I don't even have a girlfriend." She gave me a sceptical look. "Well I think you are a goddess that was the first thing I thought of you." She laughed and coughed, bring up some blood along.
"I don't think I could be a goddess while coming the end of my life." I grabbed her hand and squeezed.
"You're not going to die; I promise you I will save you."
