Chapter 6: End Game
Bella's POV:
Mike is planning something, but he keeps changing his mind rapidly, so Alice can't get a clear vision. The only thing we know for sure is that it has something to do with Edward and I. Since Mike came by last night, we have kept Nessie inside and away from windows to prevent Mike from accidently seeing her.
My shift at the library starts in half an hour and Edward insists on driving me. He has been a little jumpy since the Mike incident.
"Bella lets go your shift is going to start in 15 minutes." I nod and follow out the door to the car.
"Edward, you know you don't have to drive me. I can take care of myself. There is nothing he can do."
"Old habits die hard." Was Edward's only reply.
When we got to the library, Edward helped me out of the car. As I stepped up on to the sidewalk, Edward stiffened.
"Edward, what is it? What's wrong?" I asked.
"Mike." He replied as he pulled me towards the alley next to the library.
I could smell and hear Mike following us into the alley. Once we were deep enough inside the alley, Mike pulled out a gun and spoke.
"Why would you do this to her, Edward? You say you love her and yet, you beat her." Mike accused.
"He hasn't done anything of the sort" I defend.
"Shut up!" Mike demands gripping the gun tighter.
Edward pulls me behind him to shield me from the gun.
"Mike, put the gun away." Edward says calmly.
"Why would I do that, Cullen?" Mike asks.
"Mike, if you shoot me, you'll never get to be with her. You'll be locked away in a prison for the rest of your life." Edward tries to reason with Mike.
"There will be only be one witness and you and I both know she loves me." Edward's jaw clench. "After I get rid of you, we'll go back to Fork. She won't have to hide from her friends and family." Mike says gripping the trigger to the gun a little harder.
"You don't wait to do that, Mike" The man from the park, John, says walking up behind Mike with Rebecca/ Shaw next to him. They both had guns pointed at Mike.
"Who the hell are you? How do you know my name? How do you know this isn't what I want to do?" Mike asked still holding tightly to the gun's trigger.
"A concerned fourth party." John responds.
"You don't know what is has done to her." Mike says getting angrier.
"What did he do?" Rebecca/ Shaw asks, gun still aimed at Mike.
" He abuses her and forced her to marry him!" Mike exclaimed.
"He did nothing of the sort. Your delusional, Mike." I yelled exasperated.
"See, he brainwashed her too!" Mike yelled.
"Mike put down the gun." John warned again.
"Only if he promises to divorce her and leave her alone for the rest of his life." Mike demanded.
Edward grabbed my hand as I started to hyperventilate, thinking of our six months apart.
"No, Mike, I can't do that to her. We love each other too much." Edward said seeming upset.
"Do it, promise!" Mike demands, squeezing even harder on the trigger, he seems like he's going to have a mental break down.
Then there was a loud ringing as the guns go off and hold breath to control my blood lust. They shot Mike in the left shoulder and the right knee. Mike went down screaming in pain.
Edward grabbed me by the waist and hugged me close.
"Should have just put down the damn gun." Rebecca/ Shaw muttered under her breath. Edward chuckled softly in my ear.
"Are you two alright?" John asked as Rebecca/ Shaw checked Mike's injures.
Edward and I nod our heads, looking on. Mike had passed out from the pain.
"Is he going to live?" I asked.
Rebecca looked up at me with a look of surprise and nodded her head.
I let out a deep breath. Every person deserves a second chance.
John took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Fusco, the alley next to the Washington library, bring medics." John said.
"Be right there." Came the response on the other end of the phone.
"Do we have to stay here and answer the police questions?" I asked.
Edward nodded and kissed my head as the red and blue lights were starting to be seen.
