Chapter 21
EPOV
I wasn't thrilled that everyone in the house would be leaving Bella alone today. Even with all the extra security… I couldn't shake the feeling that I shouldn't leave her alone.
"Edward, I promise I will be okay! I know how to dial 911 if anything happens! Go out and do what you have to do. All of you!" She said pointing at everyone.
"Are you sure, I don't need to go to the store today?" Rose said giving me a hug.
"Absolutely, I feel smothered as it is… the sooner you leave the sooner you will be back." She told me.
"Alright, just call me-"
"If anything happens, Edward… I got it…" she rolled her eyes.
"Ok then Bella, well, I will just be at the grocery store so see you in about a hour." And with that everyone went their separate ways.
Jacob's POV
I see that everyone is leaving the house. Edward is the last one to leave… pity though; he will be the second to die after I deal with Isabella! After Edward's car disappeared in the distance I casually walked up to the house. I couldn't break in through a window because I knew that Edward had a security system installed… and I didn't want the police getting there till everything was taken care of. What easier way to get into the house than to walk up and ring the door bell?

I sat in the living room, flipping through channels, when the doorbell rang. I didn't need to check the security cameras; it was probably Edward saying he forgot something.
"Coming!" I shouted.
I flung open the door and abruptly there was a strong hand around my throat.
"Finally Isabella! I will finally have my revenge!" He said with a touch of insanity in his voice.
He closed the door and locked it behind him, all with his hand still around my throat.
I tried to scream but his grip just got tighter. I struggled to get free from his grasp but he was just too strong.
"You still think that you can get away from me Isabella… you never were that smart… and now it will be the reason you die!"
I was starting to get lightheaded as he let go of my neck and tossed me like a rag doll onto the floor. He grabbed me by my legs and started to drag me back down the hall into Edward's room.
"No! Jacob! Somebody help me!" I screamed, knowing that nobody could hear me.
He made it to the room and closed the door behind him. He pulled me onto the bed then moved the dresser in front of the door to barricade it.
"Just me and you Isabella… Just like old times…" He sneered.
I was scared to move or say anything. I just stayed on the bed, trembling with fear.
Jacob walked up to the edge of the bed and slapped me. When my eyes readjusted I looked at his face for the first time. The left side of his face was terribly disfigured and it reminded me of two-face from batman.
"You like the handy-work your precious Edward did to me?" He asked rhetorically.
I prayed silently that someone would come home.
"ANSWER ME!" He commanded. "You're not all brave now that your Edward isn't here to protect you, huh?"
He made quick grab for me but I dogged, grabbed the cordless phone, and made a mad dash for the bathroom. I locked the door behind me but Jacob was already beating down the door. I quickly dialed Edward's number. It rang once when he answered.
"EDWARD!" I shrieked right before the line went dead.

My phone rang just as I pulled into the grocery store parking lot and I saw it was the house. I picked up.
"Hello?"
"EDWARD!" I heard her give a blood-curdling scream and then the line went dead.
I turned the car around and raced back towards the house and at the same time tried to call the house back but all I kept getting was a busy signal. I then called Jasper and Emmett and told them to hurry back to the house. They said that it would be a while since they were stuck in traffic. I hurried home not knowing what to expect.

Jacob busted down the door with the phone jack in his hand.
"Isabella! You are gonna get it now!" He grabbed my wrist and pulled some thin metal cord out of his pocket. He then went over to the bed post and tied my hand behind me. Then tied my hands to the bed post.
"You should've stayed with me Isabella! Why in the hell did you ever think that you could stay alive without me?" He paced the room while pulling a small handgun out of his other pocket.
I felt my heart drop into my stomach. He was going to kill me!
"Jacob! Just calm down!" I said nervously.
"You are the last person who needs to be telling me to calm down Isabella!" He shouted pointing the gun at me.
He knelt down beside me, grabbed my chin roughly and forced me to kiss him. I turned my head and he laughed, pushing the barrel of the gun into the side of my forehead.
"You have a gun pointed at you and you still won't cooperate? You are going to be sorry when your precious Cullen gets here!" He said angrily.
Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. He wanted me to call Edward!
"I am gonna make you realize that you should've never tried to leave me." He ripped the front to my shirt open. "Mmm… I remember the last time I saw these…" He said running a finger over my chest. "What was the situation?" He asked sarcastically. "Oh, yea… I was raping you… I never did get to finish."
"NO!" I screamed trying to get free. I could feel the metal of cord cutting in my skin.
Just I heard the alarm go off in the house. Either Edward was here and didn't bother using a key or Jacob had someone else come here. I prayed that it was Edward.
"It appears that we have an expected guest." Jacob smiled evilly.
Then someone tried to open the bedroom door with force, but the dresser was in the way and as quickly I heard the person try to open the door they were gone.
"I hope they didn't give up so easily. Oh well, at least now I can finish what was started months ago."
I felt myself starting to slip out of consciousness when suddenly there was a loud crash that brought me back. I looked up and saw that Edward had broken into his own window.
"YOU BASTARD!" Edward shouted, his voice was full of rage.
"Be careful with the name calling Edward… after all; Who has the gun pointed at Isabella face?" Jacob said taunted.
I could see that Edward was struggling, trying to decide how to get the gun away from Jacob.
Edward looked passed him and straight at me.
"Are you ok Bella?"
All I could do was shake my head in response.
"It doesn't matter… since you two want to be together so badly, killing the both of you makes perfect sense." Jacob said as he pointed the gun away from me and instead pointed it at Edward. "So now the only question is… who will die first?"
I could see Edward clenching his fists. "Look Jacob, I know you're angry but do you think this is the best way to handle things?" Edward asked clearly trying to distract Jacob long enough for me to wrestle myself free.
"As a matter of fact I do. I have played this moment over and over again in my mind…" Jacob paused.
"Ok and what happens after we are dead, the cops are going to be here soon." Edward asked.
"After I kill you and Isabella, I will then shoot myself…" Jacob said matter-of-factly.
I managed to squeeze my hands from the cord and while Jacob was talking I launched myself at him from behind. As Jacob went down, I heard the gun fire.
"Bella!" I heard Edward scream. I looked up and saw he was holding his arm and blood was running down it. "Get out of the way!"
Jacob was momentarily stunned while Edward grabbed the gun. I went to the bedroom door to move the dresser out of the way.
Suddenly Jacob grabbed the bottom of my pant leg just as I had moved the dresser.
"I don't think so Isabella! I'm not going down on your terms!"
"Jacob! NO!" I screamed too late as Jacob took out a hidden gun out of his boot and shot himself in the head.
Blood went everywhere and I couldn't hear anything but this loud screaming in the distance that was getting louder and louder until I realized that it was me screaming.
"Bella!" Edward's arms were instantly around me. "It's ok Bella… Everything is okay now…" was the last thing I heard him say before I blacked out.
Now I know I told everyone that this would be the final chapter but there was just no good way to close it… lol! Anyway.. the final chapter will be next one! REVIEW PLS!!!!
