AN: so so sorry for the long wait. I got grounded. :[ but anyway thanks for stayin with me and ON WITH THE STORY!!

RECAP: Me and Edward were excused.

We talked for a while.

He pulled a tissue out of his pocket, along with a piece of paper.

"My number, just incase."

"Thanks. For everything."

What I didn't know was that number, would soon be my lifeline.

The lifeline to my savior.

I told Edward about the violence. He insisted we tell somebody, his dad the doctor.

"Bella, you can't keep living like this. You know there is always a place for you at my home. You know my dad will do anything to help. You know my family loves you, they will do anything to help you too. I don't like to see you hurt. Bells, you have to believe me. You can trust me." I hated to hurt him, but I just couldn't let anybody in right now. Just not yet.

"Edward, I wouldn't want to be a burden. I know you all care, it's just, I care about you all so much I would hate to see you all get hurt because of me. It would hurt so much to see what I would cause. Surly you understand. Please Edward. You have to." I saw the hurt flash through his eyes. It made me feel horrible. All of a sudden my phone began to ring.

Jacob popped up on the ID.

Before I could even say hello he began with

"Isabella Marie Swan, just what the hell do you think you are doing?? I heard you had to leave class, you better not be with that boy, I swear to all that is holy, you'd wish you would have never been born. GET YOUR ASS HOME RIGHT NOW!!" I quickly stood and realized that we had been gone for about 2 hours. I told Edward I had to go. I could tell he didn't want me to go, but I hoped he understood. I had to. So I walked home in the pouring rain.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Before I could close the door, I was hit with something verryyy hard. Then I realized it was a frying pan. I mean come on, a pan? I was so tired of his shit, so I had a sudden boost of confidence.

"What the hell!! Jacob god damn I am so tired of your shit! Why me? HUH?! Just answer that simple question!"

Instead of a reply I got hit again, but not as hard. I quickly grabbed my phone and ran out. I dialed Edwards number.

"Bella! What's wrong?!" he answered.

"I'm sorry I can't take this anymore. I have to end it all. I'm sorry we didn't get the chance to be together. Edward from the first time I laid eyes on you I loved you. I'm sorry."

"Bella, where are you at?!"

"I'm far away from Jacob. That's all that matters. I have to go. I love you."

"I know where you are just please don't do anything. And Bella, I love you too."

And with that he hung up.

I was standing on the ledge of the cliff, ready to jump, till I heard a soft velvet voice begin to sing guitar in hand also.

( JUMPER__THIRD EYE BLIND)

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again I would understand
I would understand,

Well everyone I know has got a reason
To say put the past away
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again I would understand
I would understand,

And i, I want you to know
Everyones got to face down the demons
Maybe today
You could put the past away…

i began to cry. I didn't want to leave Edward, but I hate the life I am living. He came over and hugged me, I sobbed violently into his shirt.

He began singing another one of my favorite songs:

(YOUR GARDIAN ANGEL___RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS)

When I see your smile
Tears roll down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay woah, stay woah

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

This time, I began to shake, I know he cares so much about me, I don't want to end it all, I could just hold on a little bit longer. Just for Edward.

"Come on, let's go to my house." I was too tired to protest. So I just nodded.

When we got there, Edward just put me in his bed to sleep. I overheard talking, Edward and his dad were talking about me.

"Dad, what else can we do? She won't let me help. I just don't know. We need to report it."

"Son, I have already made a report. When she "left" Jacob's yesterday, police were watching. They were going to arrest him. But he got away. I'm sorry Edward."

I heard Edward break something. Then he came in. I "woke" up so we could talk.

"Bella, did you hear any of that?"

I nodded. Then like the emotional wreck I am, I began to cry, hard.

"Bella, we are going to get him. I promise. For now you are staying here. Ok?"

I agreed.

"I am going to take you to Jacobs - he said through clenched teeth - to get you some clothes ok?"

"ok" I squeaked out.

The ride was quiet, when we got there, it was quiet. Edward came in with me. I went to Jacobs room to get my things, and Edward stayed downstairs to make sure nobody came around.

When I was almost done packing, I was hit yet again with something hard. Before the darkness could claim me once again, I saw a smirk on Jacobs face, as I fell to the ground.
