Chapter 19

EPOV

I didn't know how to reach her anymore and yet at the same time I know she needed me more than ever right now… I could hear her crying as she went into her room and closed the door. I instantly felt guilty. After all, she was scared and who wouldn't be. I decided to go and apologize. I walked down the hall and knocked on her door.

"Bella?" I called.

"Please… just go away Edward…" she said softly.

"Look… I'm sorry for getting so upset… I just didn't think you would react that way and I was unprepared." I said just as soft. It was quiet for a moment.

"The door's unlocked…" Bella said.

I slowly walked in to find her sitting on her bed staring out the window. Before I could speak her phone rang.

"Hello?" She answered. "Oh, hi James. No, everything is fine… well not really fine. Um, the girl who was dating Jacob Black was just found murdered… They don't know who did it. Yes James, I promise to look after myself…" She chuckled. "Ok well, I will try to come in sometime later this week… Okay good bye…" She hung up the phone with a smile on her face.

"Who's James?" I asked.

"He is just my psychiatrist. He was calling to check on me since I just ran out of his office."

I check my watch and it was after 9 at night.

"Hmmm… I didn't know that Doctors made house calls so late at night…" I said with a hint of doubt in my voice.

"He was worried about me Edward… Just like you are… Except he doesn't yell at me…" she said matter-of-factly.

"Again… I'm sorry Bells… look, come to bed with me and let's just let this night be forgotten… well other than the Jessica thing…" I tried to make a joke but I failed as Bella just rolled her eyes at me.

"Can we just watch a movie instead?" she requested.

"Whatever you want to do Bella…" I smiled as we walked to my room.

Jacob POV

I had to kill her… she started asking too many questions… she was gonna go to the cops… I didn't have a choice… I kept repeating over and over in my head as I sat a block from the residence that Isabella was living in. She would be mine again! I would kill Edward, and all her stupid friends, and then kill her! She knows that if I can't have her no one else can!

I had been hiding in trees and bushes outside of Edward's house for a few weeks now. I knew her schedule now… I knew everyone's schedule… it was just a matter of time before she was home alone again and kill her. Then pen everything on Edward so that I would be off the hook and revenge would be satisfied. Edward will pay for disfiguring my face!
