Wow people, thank you so much for the reviews, they mean a lot to me. The reviews make me want to keep on writing and its really working.
Disclaimer- I do not own twilight but Stephanie does.
I never said this in the first chapter of this story but i realise now that i should have. This story has some scenes of abuse in them and i want to say that, those who are being abused or know about it happening to someone else should seek help. You need to tell someone.
Chapter 14
Bella POV
I was dreaming one of those normal dreams that when you wake up, and you cannot remember any detail from it at all, you just know you were dreaming. I could tell that I was waking up because I could hear birds chirping. I hadn't opened my eyes yet and I really didn't want to.
Something stirred next to me causing my eyes to fly open. I had my face buried in a white pillow that smelled strongly of Edward's intoxicating scent. I took a long whiff of it and smiled.
Wait why the hell does this pillow smell like Edward? I picked my head up to find Edward staring at me intently with a huge grin on his face. I was in Edward's room in Edward's bed in Edward's clothes.
"So…trying to get high off my pillow?" He asked playfully, wrapping his arm around my waist and pulling me to his side. I blushed deeply as I realized he was waiting for an answer.
"Um, I just thought it smelled good. What detergent do you use?" I asked stupidly trying to disguise the fact that I was inhaling Edward scent.
"Mhm." He muttered, he was not buying it, but dropping the subject anyway.
The clock on the nightstand read four o'clock.
"Thought you'd like a few 9 extra hours of sleep." He said smiling
"You thought right." I muttered.
"So what's on the agenda for the rest of today, girlfriend?" Edward asked stretching the word girlfriend out and winking. I smiled widely and thought, girlfriend. I was Edward's girlfriend and he was my boyfriend. I have to say that I love the way that sounds.
I looked at Edward intently, thinking but Edward's lips distracted me.
"Your lips." I blurted out with out thinking. I tried acting cool about it.
"Really?" He asked, smirking at me.
"Really really!" I confirmed being seductive and trailing my pointer finger down his chest. He shivered slightly. I tried to act confident as I threw my leg over his waist and straddled him. Edward was clearly taken by surprise.
I slowly leaned down, letting all my hair cascade down my left shoulder. I lightly pressed my lips to his.
He suddenly grabbed the back of my neck and crushed my mouth to his. I trailed my hands up to his head and grabbed his bronze hair tightly in my fists as I began furiously kissing him. He kissed my back with the same desperation as I showed to him.
Our lips moved in perfect synchronization against each other, as Edward hands wrapped around my waist pulling me even closer. I felt my self dampen as Edward's hand brushed along my thigh.
The door swung open. "Hey Edward, breakfasts…whoa!" Emmett boomed, when he saw what Edward and I were up to, a huge grin fell across his face.
"Looks like Edward's getting some action" Emmett announced, pumping his fists in the air. "Not that it's surprising; you're always getting action, like every freaking day. Well not in the past week or…" Edward frowned and growled lowly. "Emmett!" He yelled causing him to stop mid sentence and glare at Edward. When he met Edward's glare he closed his mouth in a tight line.
Emmett's comment annoyed me immensely and I grew heated.
"I can't believe you Edward." I told him angrily getting out of the bed, pushing past Emmett and stomping down the stairs.
I made my way to the kitchen where smells of waffles and pancakes waited. I walked in to find Rose in one of Emmett's big shirts, frying something on the stove, while Alice sat on Jasper's lap at the island feeding him a piece of pineapple. The counter top was covered in every breakfast food imaginable.
I grabbed the back of a stool and angrily pulled it back so I could sit on it. I huffed as I angrily stabbed a waffle and put it in my plate.
"What the hell did that waffle ever do to you?" Alice asked humorously. Jasper chuckled and fed Alice a grape.
"Do you want to know what the problem is?" I growled violently cutting out a piece of waffle. Alice cocked an eyebrow and looked at me expectantly.
"You're fucking brother! That's my problem" I yelled pushing my plate forward and hopping off the stool. I walked out of the room brushing past Edward as he walked past. He stopped in his tracks and grabbed my arm. His expression was sorrowful and worry all in one.
"Let go of me!" I commanded and he instantly released his grip. When I saw Emmett, I grabbed him by his arm and told him to follow me. I went out the back door and pushed Em towards the patio furniture, Em sat down in a wicker chair.
I put my arms on the chair and leaned forward so my gaze was level with his.
"You're cute when you're angry." Em stated in an amused tone trying to pinch my cheek, but I swatted his hand away.
"Grow up! I need you to tell me something and I want the truth. You tell me anything but that and I will tie your balls to a stool and throw it against the wall." I threatened.
"You're bluffing." Em stated like a fact.
"Does it really look to you like I'm bluffing?" I asked curtly and he quickly shook his head.
"Okay." I told him calming my tone. "Tell me everything about Edward and the way he treated girls."
"He would pick some random girl up at a bar, the mall, and the doctors; anywhere, you name it. He would take them home and they would fuck. He would kick them out early in the morning. Or if he was at their house, he would just leave. There was always another girl." Em took no time telling me.
The news he told really shocked me. Edward was a fucking womanizer, and I could easily see him doing to me what he has done to all those other girls.
I had known that Edward was a player, but I did not know he had a different girl every freaking day. Edward just left right afterwards too. What if I was just another one of those chicks to him?
"Thanks Em." I said quietly, sitting down in the chair next to him. I brought my knees to my chest and rested my head on them.
Em stood up and patted my back. As he walked in the house I heard him muttering " okay Bells, you safe." I had to laugh. That was so Emmett.
I must have been out side for 10 minutes when I heard the sliding glass door open and close behind me. Some one came over and sat in the chair next to me but I didn't need to look to know who it was.
"Go away Edward." I said
"It's Alice." I looked up to see her moving the chair. She dragged it so she was facing me. I could tell Alice was gonna sell me this piece of crap that Em was kidding and Edward's an angel. I didn't want to hear it.
"Emmett told me what this is about." She informed me.
"Good well then you should be aware that I'm just another girl that Edward is gonna fuck and leave in the span of a day." I yelled. I had never really yelled at Alice and I could tell she was a little taken aback by it.
"But your not." She tried to tell me.
"What the fuck do you know?" I spat, and I instantly regretted it. She looked so hurt.
"Don't be mad at her." I yelled at myself.
"I'm really sorry Alice." I apologized grabbing her hand in mine trying to assure that no hard feelings were meant toward her.
She smiled kindly up at me and squeezed my hand. "Just hear me out." I nodded.
"Edward was a womanizer. He thought he could have any girl he wanted, but he has changed…"
"I'm so sure." I cut in, practically cursing Edward's name in my head. I thought Edward was special but he was just treating me like every other girl. I'd be out of their lives in a good day.
"Just let me finish. The day I met you, in the morning, Edward threw the girl out, before they even went for another round. He came into my room and told me he wanted to change, for me, for himself. He wanted to have a relationship.
"When he met you, you should have seen the way he looked at you Bella. I heard him mutter beautiful, a word he has never, ever used to describe a woman before.
"Don't you realize that he never put the moves on you or tried to get you in bed? He told you he liked you and that has never happened before either.
"You should have seen him during the boat wreck. When he spotted you in the water, he threw off his blanket and jumped out of the helicopter. He was a mess when they were trying to revive you. He cried, well teared.
"Can't you see that you're the girl who changed him?"
I believed every word Alice said, giving that I knew Alice would not lie to me about something of this much importance. I believed that Edward had changed. I have never ever seen his old self and I never want to.
After Alice's speech, I hopped up kissing her cheek and running to open the sliding glass door.
"Edward!" I called excitedly when I got inside, but there was no reply, no footsteps.
I ran to the bottom of the steps and called a second time but again there was silence.
"He left." Alice said from behind me. My hopes crashed when she said this, Edward had abandoned me, he had left me. Alice must have seen my expression because a knowing look crossed her features.
"No, no, no" She said. "He goes to this place when he's sad. I've never seen it before; I just know it in the woods. Your best bet is to just wait for him to get back." Alice's phone started ringing upstairs and she went to answer it.
Alice had said to wait, but I could not; I had to find him.
I grabbed my jacket off the couch in the TV room and headed out the door to the back yard. I made my way to the side of the house where "Death Gallows Trail" started.
I must have been walking a good ten minutes and I saw no sign of Edward.
Something white to my right caught my eye and I stopped. Painted on the side of a tree were the letters E.C. The letters were sloppy and looked to have beenwritten by a 6 year old. I'm guessing Edward was fairly young when he wrote it.
I went up and brushed my hand across the writing. I looked down behind the tree. There was a rough path imbedded in ground by being walked over numerous times over a long period of time.
I followed the path into the woods and out of sight, no longer could I see he trail. I wasn't paying attention to the ground so of course, being the klutz that I am, I tripped over an uprooted root, twisted and fell onto my back. I stared at the sky that I could see through the branches of the trees. Big black clouds, heavy with rain were rolling in, covering the blue sky.
I looked down, surveying for damage. The only thing I could see was a deep cut on my finger. Blood flowed freely from the wound and down my hand, but I could really care less about it, right now, I had to find Edward.
The wind picked up as I followed the barely visual path. It went straight until I could see an opening beyond the trees.
I walked faster, parting the last few branches, before stepping into a clearing. The meadow was almost completely circular with a couple trees scattered around the center. The trees making the circle were like a wall of green.
At the far end of the meadow was along stream. The water bubbled along until it disappeared through the trees and into the woods.
About two feet from the bank of the stream was a huge oak tree. The branches wide and thick; good for climbing.
Resting against the trunk, his hands thrown across his eyes, a look of remorse clouding his features was Edward. I was within four feet when I called out happily. "Edward!"
Edward pulled his hand away from his face quickly. He smiled widely but it faded to a worried frown. He was probably remembering our fight and thinking I was mad. Edward got up quickly and immediately started apologizing, but I didn't want or need to hear it. I stepped forward so I was right in his face. Edward looking like he was expecting the worse, a slap, a kick, a good yelling, but that's not what I had in store for him.
I smiled and reached up to grab the back of his neck, crashing his lips to mine in a passionate kiss. He seemed shocked at first but over came it and began moving his lips against mine. Edward tasted amazing and I just couldn't get enough of him.
His left hand inched its way to the small of my back and he pulled our bodies together. Edward slowly started moving down to the ground. He rested his back against the tree and I kneeled in between his legs, never breaking the kiss.
I needed to breathe, so Edward detached our lips moving them down to my neck giving me the chance to refill my lungs back up.
I turned and rested my head against his chest. Edward ran his hands over my shoulder and down to my wrists. He caught sight of my bloody finger and raised it to his lips.
"What happened?" He asked examining my finger.
"I fell." I stated.
"Of course you did." He smirked, grabbing the end of his white shirt and wiping the blood, but it had dried. What Edward did next shocked me. He put my finger in his mouth and began sucking on it. I enjoyed the feeling of Edward's hot lips and tongue moving across the cut.
"Are you a vampire?" I asked in a shaky voice. Edward chuckled.
"Nah I just needed to get the blood off to clean it."
"You know there's water right there." I told him pointing to the stream not two feet from us.
"Yeah but sucking on your finger seemed to be a better idea to me." Edward brought his lips to my neck and started sucking on my pulse point. I lost it!
I turned back around quickly and straddled his legs as I brought my lips back to his again, kissing him furiously. Edward had taken off my jacket and his hands were at the bottom of my shirt. He was starting to pull it up when a deafening crack of lightening boomed causing me to jump back startled. I landed on my ass as a flash a lightening lit up the sky.
It suddenly began to rain, soft but it was growing heavier. Edward stood up and grabbed my hand, hoisting me to my feet. Thunder boomed even louder than before and I grasped hold of Edward's shirt and buried my head in his chest. I hated thunder so much.
A flash a lightening lit up the forest around us followed by another flash of lightening the same down in a line and hit the forest. We heard snapping and a tree hit the ground with a large bang, smoke rising over the tops of the trees.
I'm guessing if a tree falls down in the woods, it does make a sound. Edward grabbed my hand and took off back into the woods down the path I had come. Edward was going fast and it was hard to keep up. Now I was out of breath. I pulled my hand from his and stopped, slouching over putting my hands on my knees and taking deep breaths.
"What's wrong?" Edward asked worriedly.
"I just need a minute to breathe."
"But we have to keep going. It's dangerous to be out here."
"But I can't run as fast."
"Here ill carry you." He asked trying to pick me up, but I backed away.
"You picked me up enough yesterday. I probably threw your back out."
"My back is fine Bella." He huffed getting annoyed with this conversation.
"You're not carrying me." I said, pushing past him and walking slowly down the path.
Edward suddenly jumped in front of me, grabbing me by the waist and throwing me over his shoulder. I banged my fists on his back but I didn't truly want to complain. After all, the view was fairly nice.
Edward's POV
When we got back to the house, we were soaking wet. I pretty sure, Bella's shirt was drenched completely. In fact, I could feel her nipples, hard against my back and I shuddered gently at the feeling.
The littlest things that Bella does seem to have the biggest affect on me. If any other girl had done these things, they would have done nothing towards my self-control. I am so glad that Bella could find away to forgive me for my past.
Emmett had such a big fucking mouth and I thought he had ruined my chances with Bella. I wonder why she forgave me. I'm surprised she's not still disgusted with me. I would be.
I set Bella down on the porch and went to open the door for her. She walked in and kicked off her sandals onto the rug.
"I need a shower" She said climbing up the stairs, I noticed she limped a little and I remembered.
"How's your foot? You have to stop walking on it and give it a break. Do you feel okay?" I ran over and held my hand to her forehead. She was cool.
"My foot is fine; I feel fine. Leave me alone." She smiled at me in good humor and entered the guest bathroom. She poked her head out and called down to me. "Tell Alice to bring me some clothes." I nodded my head and walked up the stairs to Alice's room.
Alice was laying on her bed, in a silk robe, her black reading glasses were on her nose as she typed on her laptop. Jasper was asleep under the covers.
"Hey Alice." I called and she looked up from the screen.
"Why are you wet?" She asked.
"Cause I was in the rain. Bella's in the shower and needs clothes. She asked for you to bring her some." Alice nodded her head and hopped off the bed. She disappeared into her closet for a full 10 minutes before appearing with a blue lace panties set, black sweats and a tee.
"Thanks" I left the room and headed up to my floor. I ran as to try and not get that much water onto the carpets, Esme will kill me if I ruin her carpet.
I jumped into the shower, and the water was hot against my skin. It undid my muscles and massaged my back, letting the tension of the day fall away.
My thoughts drifted to Bella and the day she came to my football practice. She had looked fucking hot in that outfit the Alice had picked out. Her stomach was flat and smooth, damn just thinking about it made me hard.
I grabbed my cock in my hands and groaned at the feeling. I thought of Bella wrapping her hot mouth around me and slowly licking my head. She took me all in her mouth, deep throating me as she bobbed up and down like a pro.
My stomach muscles clenched and my balls tightened as hot cum shot out and hit the shower wall. I placed both hands on the wall and took deep breaths.
Fuck! I have never had to masturbate in my entire life. I always had a girl and I never found the need too. God, Bella will surely be the death of me.
After cleaning myself and the wall off, washing my hair and body, I finished my shower, stepping out and changing into clean clothes. I made my way down the stairs. Bella was sitting on the couch, a big blanket over her lap and a cup of coffee in her hand. She was watching reruns of friends.
I walked up behind the couch and wrapped my hands around Bella's eyes planning on asking her to guess who I was but before I could, Bella let out a blood curling frightened scream, ripping my hands from her eyes and jumping off the couch, managing to somehow not spill her coffee.
Bella turned around quickly and when she saw me she let out a shakey breath and visually relaxed.
"What the fuck was that? Is everyone okay?" Emmett boomed worriedly from upstairs.
"yeah, it sounded like you were getting murdered down there!" Alice added.
Fear crossed Bella's featurs and i noticed she was shaking at what Alice had said.
"Were all fine down here!" I called up to them, going over to Bella and wrapping my arms around her waist. She tensed but relaxed into my side. I slowly sank down onto the couch, bringing her with me.
Why would she be scared of me. Who did she think it was that she screamed like that. it didnt seam right, something must be up. She will probably tell me in time; i wont push.
"Are you okay?" I asked her and she tensed yet again.
"I'm fine." She said tightly.
I tried to assure her that she could tell me. I rubbed her arm in a delicate manor as to not scare her. She leaned into my touch and closed her eyes.
"You can tell me anything." Her eyes flashed open and she looked up at me. She smiled.
"I know."
I grabbed her legs and propped them up in my lap. I rolled her pant leg up and examined her ankle.
"Are you sure you're okay. I mean we were in a boat crash just last night. Do you feel fine? You were fucking hypothermic."
"Calm down." She soothed grabbing my hand in hers. "I feel fine. I just took two Advil and there is a heating pad on my back. So I promise I'll be okay."
"I should have let them take you to the fucking hospital." I growled and crossed my arms over my chest. They should have taken her to the hospital and double-checked her.
Bella tensed beside me and almost shouted. "I'm not going to the fucking hospital."
"Tell me why." I exclaimed, matching her tone. Her tone softened.
"I WILL tell you. Just not right now. Can you accept that answer?" Of course, I could. I would do anything for her.
"Of course I can." I put her legs gently on the coffee table and pulled her to my side. She rested her head against my shoulder as she finished off the last of her drink. I took it from her and set it down next to her feet.
"I have to ask, why did you forgive me?" I asked randomly thinking about before. She didn't hesitate to answer.
"Because Alice came and talked to me and I realized she was right. You have changed for the better and I'm fine with that as long as you don't go back." She cuddled to my chest and he eyes fluttered closed briefly before she opened them again.
"I'll always be here for you." I told her, stroking the side of her face.
"Promise?"
"I promise." Bella drifted off to sleep in my arms and I soon followed.
James's POV
I ordered a bag of peanuts from the stewardess and settled into the seat.
"Here it is." Laurent said, handing me a picture. I looked closely and spotted Bella at the center surrounded by five other people. All five of them were circled and in the left corner it said, in sloppy script "Get rid of if necessary."
We were on the way to Fork's to go scope out Bella for a few days and finally grab her. We were to bring her to Seattle where Phil would be waiting. This…would be fun.
