Chapter 5- The Ball Part2
Sorry I didn't update sooner! I didn't have time yesterday beacause my friends wanted to hang out and wouldn't rest until I did. Ok, Edward sings One Republic songs!! Sorry if you expected him to sing something else! So, it's like one republic doesn't exist in this story!
I was too busy staring at Edward that I didn't see the stage crew moving a huge, black grand piano onto the stage. He gracefully sat down on the piano bench and looked out into the crowd before playing.
I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make a sound
I noticed I had gasped the moment he started singing. He was staring at me as he was singing, as if he was singing the song to me.
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around and say
That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
Too late, oh
I could feel my huge grin as he was winking at me. The smile he returned took my breath away. I noticed his smile disappearing I looked behind me and realized that Kyle was walking towards me. This is fucking great! Not!
I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothing new, yeah yeah
"Bella, I'd be honored if you danced with me." Kyle's voice whispered in my ear.
"I'm not gonna dance with you Kyle." I felt his arm snake around my waist, pulling me close to him.
"Too bad, I'm not taking no for an answer. Please, just one dance. I won't bother you after this." It sounded like he was about to cry.
I nodded my head with sympathy. All thoughts of what he did to me had vanished. He pulled me to the middle of the dance floor. We started gliding everywhere. I remembered when we had danced like this on our first date.
I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue
And you say sorry like the angel
Heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah, too late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah, too late
Edward's smile turned into a frown when he spotted me dancing with Kyle. Kyle noticed Edward's frown and smiled triumphantly.
I"m holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
Kyle still held onto me when the song had ended. I wanted to clap along with everyone else, but couldn't release my hands from Kyle.
Edward walked off the stage as the next performance started. He started walking towards me as Kyle gave him a death glare.
"Kyle, let me go." I said harshly. He looked at me like I was crazy.
I pulled myself away from his tight grasp and made my way towards Keira. I didn't make it five steps before Kyle grabbed my wrist.
"Bella, can we talk?" I gave him a 'you've gotta be kidding me' look.
He started pulling me outside of the house before I could give him an answer.
He pulled me outside of the enormous house before I responded.
"Look Kyle, we've already talked! We're over! Stop trying to apologize because I'm not forgiving you! Just leave me alone!" I screamed at him.
His expression was unchanged and he started talking like I hadn't said anything.
"Bella, you know as well as I do that we're not over. I love you with all my heart. Please! I'm begging you to forgive me!" I saw a single tear fall from his right eye.
"Kyle, I can't-
Before, I could yell at him again, he pushed me against the wall of the house and pressed his warm lips to mine. I tried pushing him off but it was no use. He held my arms above my head with one of his large hands, and with the other, roamed up and down mybody. His tongue slid across my bottom lip, begging for entrance. I had no intention of of him french kissing me. I screamed against his lips.
He pulled away and grabbed both of my wrists, dragging me to his car.
"Kyle let go of me!"I screamed, causing him to cover my mouth with one of his hands. He dragged me along even harder, causing me to trip a couple of times. That only made him angrier. He opened the passenger door and pushed me in. He rolled me onto my back while I was still trying to break free. This couldn't be happening! He started to unzip the back of my dress. Before he could finish unzipping it, I felt him being pulled off of me.
I zipped my dress back up as high as I could, before turning around and getting out of the car. I gasped when I saw Edward throwing punches at Kyle. He had punched Kyle about five times in the face before Kyle fell to the ground groaning and clutching his face. I almost fainted seeing the pools of blood dripping from Kyles face to the concrete driveway.
I felt liquid dripping down my face and realized I was crying. I wasn't crying because Edward had punched Kyle, but because I was almost raped by a guy who I thought I was in love with. Edward noticed my tears and pulled me into a hug.
I gasped, surprised that he would hug me. He kept whispering that everything was fine and that he wouldn't let Kyle hurt me again.
"Edward... thank... you." I said between sobs. I pulled away from Edward and looked down at the unconscious Kyle. Wow, Edward had knocked Kyle unconscious without a scratch. I giggled inwardly, Edward was perfect!
"What should we do about him?" I said while sniffling.
Edward stared at Kyle, thinking about what to do.
"Well, we could either take him to the police station, leave him here- which I wouldn't really have a problem with, or we can take him inside and leave him there." I had no idea what we should do. He deserved to go to jail but, part of me didn't want to see him spending a while in a jail cell. I didn't want him to be left out here, even though he did deserve to be run over. I settled with our last choice.
"Let's just take him inside." I mumbled. Why didn't we have any other choices?
Edward nodded and grabbed Kyle's body. He dragged him back to the ball room without trouble. Anyone near the door stared at Edward dragging Kyle's body. Before we could make our way to my friends, Oprah walked up to us with a worried look.
"What's going on? Why is Kyle Thompson unconscious and bleeding?"
"Well Kyle was trying to rape Bella and I managed to pull him off of her." I was surprised Edward had spoken so casually.
Oprah's expression was one of shock and anger towards Kyle.
"Well we'll take care of him." She said angrily, while waving over two butlers. They took Kyle from Edward and to the exit of the ballroom.
I could feel the wooziness finally coming. Edward glanced at my face worriedly.
"Bella? Are you okay? You are turning green." I was about to nod my head when I was suddenly overtaken by darken.
The last thing I heard was Edward calling my name.
I woke up finding a pair of beautiful green eyes staring at me.
"Bells! Your finally awake! I thought you'd never come back!" Keira's voice broke my gaze away from Edward's eyes. I noticed that I was in my bed, surrounded my Edward, Keira, Lucas, and Reese.
"I made you breakfast!" Keira chirped, handing me me a tray with a plate full of eggs and toast. I took the breakfast, eagerly thanking Keira, and dug into my eggs.
"Woah, easy there Bells." Lucas said, snatching my piece of toast.
"Hey! Give that back before I get out of this bed and kick your ass!" I set aside the rest of my breakfastpulled the covers off of me, while everybody was laughing. I got out of bed and started running after Lucas, when I ended up tripping on nothing and flew to the ground, only to be caught by the waist before my face met the ground. I could only imagine who just saved me again, I thought sarcastically in my mind. I stood up and walked back to my bed after thanking Edward.
I finished my breakfast in silence, before talking to my friends.
"So, what exactly happened after I fainted?"
"Well, Edward picked you up, took you to us and explained what happened."
"Dude, you should have seen Reese's face." Lucas snorted, while laughing.
"Hey, wouldn't you be mad if one of your best friends tried to rape another one of your friends who's like your little sis?"
"Oh yeah, and Edward insisted on going with us to take you back home and wouldn't let go of you the whole way there." Lucas and Reese said in high pitched, girly voices.
"Hey, shut up." Edward said while grabbing one of my pillows and chucking it at Reese's head.
"Actually, I stayed here all night, waiting for you to wake up because I wanted to know if you would let me take you out to dinner tonight." I must have had a shocked expression on my face because everyone started laughing.
I turned red as I nodded my head. Maybe he liked me as much as I liked him.
After watching a couple of movies with my friends, I shooed them out of my apartment. Edward walked out last after I gave him my number. He gave me one last wink before leaving.
Sorry, that chapter kinda sucked! I'm starting to get writer's block! If you have any ideas on what I could put in the story then just tell me in a review! It would make me very happy if you review!! Thanks for reading!
