I am so sorry that it has been nearly two months since this story was updated. I know, I totally suck. RL is making it nearly impossible for me to get any writing done, but I am writing every chance that I get. It's just taking longer to finish a chapter than usual. I'll update again as soon as RL allows it.
Many thanks to my beta Cullen818 and JaspersIzzy. You both help me more than you realize. I love you both lots. I own nothing but the storyline. Enjoy!

I just had to stay awake. If I stayed awake then he couldn't come in my room, right? Yeah, keep telling yourself that, it might just help. It didn't help though; in fact my thoughts were only making things worse. I knew it; I knew all along that he was coming to me while I was sleeping. I would wake up and feel his presence in my room.
What could he have done to me while I was sleeping? The kiss had to have been real; would he have gone further than a kiss? No, he wouldn't do that. I know him better than to think that of him. No, you knew the old Edward. This Edward is different and there is no telling what he is capable of.
I just had to find a way to shut my thoughts up before they made me go insane. Maybe I was already insane. That would explain everything because Edward would never want to hurt me, not like this. He is not the same Edward. When are you going to listen to me?
I looked around the room and noticed that Carlisle was watching me intently. I couldn't help but wonder where Jasper could be.
"Where did Jasper go?" I asked.
"He went to get you something to eat. What are you over there thinking so hard about?" Carlisle asked.
"Everything, but I wish my thoughts would be quiet for a little while. I just need a break before I go crazy. What if I go crazy? Will you and Jasper still love me?" I asked, a sob threatening to come out.
Carlisle was suddenly sitting next to me, wrapping me in his arms. "Bella, you are not going crazy and even if you were; Jasper and I would never stop loving you. We would never leave your side. You're stuck with us forever," he said, trying to reassure me.
I wish that would have helped, but it didn't. Jasper came walking in the room with a bag of food. He sat the food on the table and made his way over to the bed with me and Carlisle.
"Darlin, I promise that you are not going crazy. Carlisle was right; you're stuck with us forever, no matter what. I know you are worried about Edward coming in here, but it won't happen again," Jasper told me.
"Don't make me promises Jasper that you won't be able to keep. Tell me, how is he getting in here when I am surrounded by vampires?" I demanded, pushing away from Carlisle.
"He no longer has a scent," Carlisle said. "We don't know why, but we will figure out a way to stop him."
I shook my head, "You can't stop him, no one can. He is coming for me and he is going to get me and there isn't a fucking thing any of you can do about it," I yelled. "You haven't stopped him any other times, why should I believe that you would stop him the next time he is here?"
I got off the bed and walked out of the room. Maybe they knew all along and they just don't care about me anymore. Maybe they are even in the room while Edward is doing whatever the fuck he wants to do to me.
No, I wouldn't think that way. I couldn't. It would make perfect sense if they were allowing him to pay you visits while you slept. How does a vampire suddenly lose his smell? It was not possible. Oh god, they wouldn't do that to me, would they?
"Bella, stop it. Listen to me," Jasper said from behind me. "I will be by your side every time you are sleeping, he won't be able to get to you again."
I spun around to face him, "And I am supposed to trust that? He has been coming in my fucking room Jasper. Do you get that? Do you even know what he has been doing to me?"
I dropped to my knees, I felt like I was going to be sick. The room began to spin; the blackness was creeping up on me. I was afraid to let it take me. I tried to fight it in fear of Edward coming back, but it was a futile attempt. The last thing I remember before the blackness fully took me was Jasper lifting me in his arms, yelling something at Carlisle.

Tonight was the night when I would finally show Bella that she belonged with me. I would tell her that I was okay with her sleeping with my brother and father as long as she didn't do it anymore. I would fucking tell her anything as long as it got me in her pants. I knew I needed to hunt before I was alone with my girl and her luscious scent, but I was tired of waiting. It had been far too long since I last saw her.
I ran through the forest as fast as I could until I was finally able to reach the back side of the hotel that my Bella was in. I slowed my pace and came to a complete stop when her window came in sight. I listened for a moment and a small smile came over my face when I heard that she was alone in her room.
Here was my chance to take back what belonged to me and I was no longer waiting. I quickly and quietly scaled the wall and when I got to Bella's window, I opened it slowly as to not make any sounds. Once the window was open, I climbed in and walked over to her sitting in the bed.
She hadn't even noticed my presence until I sat on the edge of the bed. She turned ever so slowly and when she saw me, her eyes were wide with fear. I smirked and quickly placed my hand over her mouth to keep her from screaming. If she alerted Jasper and Carlisle to my presence, my time with her would be over.
"Now, do yourself a favor and be quiet," I whispered. "I'm going to take my hand off your mouth, but if you scream or call for them, well let's just say that you wouldn't like the results of my actions."
She nodded and I removed my hand from her mouth. I stood up and walked to the door, locking it. Then I picked up the dresser and placed it in front the door. I knew it wouldn't keep them out, but at least it would give me a chance to get out, if need be.
I walked back over to the bed and sat in front of Bella; I wanted her to look at me and see what she did to me by falling for my father and my brother. She nearly destroyed me; she was supposed to wait for me to come back to her, but instead she went behind my back and fucked other members of my family. That really pissed me off.
I tried to contain the anger, but it seeped out in my voice just a bit. "Bella, I want you to come back to me," I paused for a moment. "I can forgive you for fucking Carlisle and Jasper, but if you ever touch them again; well, I wouldn't be so forgiving."
"I'm not coming back to you, Edward. You left me, remember? And now, you want me back and I'm just supposed to leave Jasper and Carlisle for you? Are you fucking kidding me? Get out of my room and don't ever come back," she sneered.
I leaned forward, almost touching her and while I was looking in her eyes, my voice was dripping with venom. "If you think I'm just going to walk away again and let you climb back in bed with them, well than you don't really know me. I came to take what belongs to me, it's up to you on whether you come willingly or I force you."
She tried to back away from me, but all I could think about was touching her again. It had been so long since I felt her warm skin against mine. I reached my hand up and stroked her cheek and when she jerked away from me, well that pissed me right the fuck off. I grabbed her by her arm, forcefully pulling her to me. I could feel her breath on my face and I relished in the fact that she was so close to me.
"Don't you ever jerk away from me again. I told you, you belong to me and I will have you; with or without your cooperation, it's totally up to you."
The tears began to pool in her eyes when my words sunk in. She understood what I was talking about and the look in her eyes told me that she knew I was being serious. I was tired of playing their fucking game. It was time to call an end to their bullshit and get on with my life, which included Bella.
"I've missed you, Bella. I want to feel your lips against mine. I want to feel your skin under my fingers. I want to touch every inch of your body and I want to feel you from the inside, with my finger, tongue, and cock. Let me feel you, love."
I leaned forward just enough to close the small space between us and pressed my lips to her cheek and that only lasted a second before Jasper and Carlisle were coming through the door, looking extremely pissed.
I grabbed Bella and spun around to face my former family. I wondered how far they would go, knowing that I could hurt this human before they had a chance to move. Carlisle shook his head at Jasper, and I read in their thoughts that they both wanted to come after me.
The only thing that stopped them was the look on Bella's face. It was the main thought in both Jasper and Carlisle's minds. They were both wondering how they were going to get Bella away from me without harming her. I had to laugh because hurting her was something I would never do. Now, them on the other hand, well if they got in my way, they would feel some pain.

When Bella dropped to the ground, I felt like someone punched me. She didn't think she could trust me or Carlisle. That thought alone hurt and I needed to find a way to show her that we could be trusted. If I could just catch Edward in the act and put an end to this shit, she would see that we loved her and would never let anything hurt her.
But how? That was the fucking question that I didn't have an answer to. I scooped Bella up in my arms, screaming at Carlisle.
"Carlisle, she fainted, again." I yelled.
He came in the room and shook his head. "It's my fault. If I could just get Edward out of the picture, than I might be able to fix things. She's worried about going crazy, about whether we would love her if she did lose her mind."
Bella was worse off than I thought. I would have never thought that she could possibly lose her mind from the shit that Edward was pulling. I walked into the room with Bella cradled against my chest, sitting down on the bed.
I never released her, I held her the whole time. She began stirring after about three hours and I was relieved to see her beautiful brown eyes again. She looked at me for a moment before she slid out of my lap. I tried to keep the hurt from showing on my face, but I knew I failed when a tear rolled down her cheek.
"I want to be alone," she whispered without looking at me.
"Bella please," I begged. "How can I protect you if you want to be alone?"
She turned to look at me and I could feel the anger rolling off of her. "Protect me? Is that what you are going to call it?" she yelled. "You and Carlisle can't protect me from Edward. Now, get out. I want to be alone."
She didn't wait for me to respond. She simply turned away from me again, lying down. I sighed and Carlisle motioned for us to leave the room. I reluctantly walked out of the room, closing the door behind me. All I could do was stand there, looking at the door for the longest time.
Carlisle was sitting on the arm of the chair watching me intently. His emotions were everywhere and it was making me nauseous. I had to show her that I was capable of keeping her safe and I sure as hell wasn't going to do that standing outside our bedroom door. I had to go back in there and show her that I could and I would do what I said.
I took a step towards the door and reached for the knob. Carlisle was next to me instantly, but when I turned the handle, it was locked. Well, I was a vampire so a locked door wasn't going to stop me. I pushed and the door opened a little, but something was blocking it. I shoved one more time and the door came open, but I was met with a sight that terrified me and filled me with more anger than I had ever felt before.
There in our room was Edward and he was holding Bella against his chest. Bella's emotions were of fear and anxiety. It was Edward's emotions that caught me off guard though, he was feeling extreme happiness and a little smug. Now, what the fuck was that all about?
I didn't have time to analyze his feelings though. I needed to get my girl away from that monster so I could rip him apart. I just had to figure out how I was going to do that without Bella getting hurt.
Leave me a review and let me know your thoughts. I'll update as soon as possible. Sorry for the cliffie, but I had to end this chapter this way because the next chapter will be nothing but drama. Love, Kathy
