I am sooooooooooooooooooooo sorry for not updating in like forever but I was on a school trip. In case you were wondering: it was cold, wet and extremely muddy.
Right but I'm updating now right?
My thanks (its different to dedications) go to:
Extreme0avatar: for, even though they weren't meant to, making me laugh with her reviews.
To rocknfire12345 for urging me to update by reviewing a chapter that she hadn't already.
To readingisforlife.7 for being the first guy (that I know of) to review my story! Thanks sooooooooo much.
To MrsPeteWentz for being my best friend and because she rocked as a goalie for our team…I mean WE WON!
To Caitlin because she asked me to say that she also played and scored a goal jointly with Eliza.
To x-Angel-Iona-same thing rly-x for being my favourite person and for making our drama production actually work, also because she is fantastic.
And FINALLY to bella raven cullen for being my friend and for talking to me for an hour yesterday and now knowing that we are too similar that it is scary! Lol!
This chapter is dedicated to bella raven cullen for all the above reasons.
I'm having a hard time thinking of a song for this chapter so… I'll just use one I like:
The Song for this chapter is…. House of Cards by Madina Lake because I've been singing it in my head all day!
The next chapter finally starts about… NOW Chapter 27I immediately relaxed into my captor's familiar arms. Edward. I sighed with contentment and closed my eyes. He removed his hand for my mouth and kissed the top of my head.
'Are Alice and Rose getting to you?' he chuckled. I backhanded him and smiled. I opened my eyes and turned around to face him.
'I've missed you and my legs are killing me!' I moaned. The next thing I knew I was off the floor and being carried towards Alice's and Rose's retreating bodies through the New York crowds. They were totally in their own world and Edward quickly caught up with them. He cleared his throat.
'I believe you ladies lost something or should I say someone,' he said coolly. I getting a bit embarrassed by being carried around by my boyfriend.
Rose spun around quickly and stifled a scream.
'Jesus, Edward, you scared me and what happened to staying at home?' she hissed in a scolding manner.
'Well, you left Bella behind and besides the guys wanted me to keep an eye on all of you…well actually they're over there,' he admitted sheepishly after Rose and Alice unleashed their glares on him. The guys were across the street waving a little, they crossed over and went over to Alice and Rose. Unfortunately for them the girls weren't so happy to see them.
'Edward, let me down,' I whispered.
'What? Oh, yeah, sure,' Edward said surprised, he had forgotten me. I sighed as he let me down. Then he bent down and kissed my lips, waiting for the drama to unfold.
'You had no right to spy on me, Emmett McCarty! Is that clear?' Rosalie hissed furiously. Emmett bit his lip and averted his eyes from hers.
'Sorry, Rose,' he muttered to the floor. Rose smiled satisfied by his response. Alice turned to Jasper.
'What do you have to say for your self?' she asked, holding Jasper's intense gaze.
'Erm.. I need new shirts,' he told her, eyes wide and innocent. Alice perked up completely. She grabbed his arms and dragged him back to Bloomies.
'They have a new range that you're just gonna love,' Alice squealed as they disappeared into the entrance. I laughed and put my arms around Edward's neck. He leant down and kissed me. I returned it eagerly but pulled away suddenly remembering our surroundings. I stepped away from my safe haven and bit my lip.
'Sorry,' I muttered. Edward looked confused.
'Why, love?' he asked, stepping closer to me. My mind blanked out and I sucked in a sharp breath and stepped back quickly. I chewed my lip really hard. I could vaguely hear my breaths coming out a little too short and sharp. I tried to calm myself. I was saying that it was a side effect of the drugs; I knew it was true but I'd forgotten to tell Edward.
Edward took another step towards me, I managed to pat down a scream but a strangled cry came out. He looked totally panicked, I mean wouldn't you be if you were on a busy street in NYC with your girlfriend having a miniature panic attack. My teeth were trembling slightly and tears blurred my vision. I turned and ran. I don't know where. I was far too messed up. I carried on running until I got lost. I had gone father than I'd ever gone in Uptown Manhattan before. I slowed to a walk, it was getting dark and I was a little worried. Then my legs decided to give up on me, I tripped on a raised paving stone and my legs buckled beneath me. I fell straight onto the floor, scratching my hands. I just wanted to curl into a ball and die but I dragged myself up. My legs were murdering me from the inside. I saw a blurry hotel sign up ahead and headed for it. I went in slowly. I was attracting stares and I knew it. I got to the front desk and practically fell on top of it.
'I need a room for the night,' I choked out to the receptionist. She bit her lip at my appearance but turned to her computer and typed something in.
'That will be three hundred dollars please,' she said gently. I pulled out my wad of money and handed her the right money, she simply handed me the key and a pack of information and I dragged myself into the elevator. I pressed my floor number, 48 and stood in the corner.
I thought about how I had treated Edward back at Bloomingdales and tears fell relentlessly from my eyes. I slid to the floor and cried. No one entered the elevator as it went up to my floor. Finally it got there; I went out and limped down the corridor to where my room was. I unlocked the door and went in.
It was simple but I didn't care. I felt awful; I fell face down on the bed sheets and sobbed. I felt my phone continuously ring and looked at the caller display. It read: 'Edward' but that made me cry even harder. After about the fiftieth phone call and around seventy texts, I grabbed my phone and lobbed it at the wall. It simply bounced off but the sound ceased. I cried more. The darkness was welcoming and some how it made me feel safer. I guess my ordeal had proved that.
After three hours of sobbing, I suddenly stopped and got up; I walked over to the clock. It read: 22.35. I reached over to the radio and switched it on to my favourite rock station and sat on the bed, listening. I lay back on my bed and closed my eyes, letting the music fill me up. Then my cell rang again. I rolled off the bed and grabbed it and without reading the caller ID I just opened it and put it to my ear.
'Hello,' I said my voice croaky and hoarse. I climbed back onto the bed.
'Oh My God. Bella. Thank god, you're ok. I was so worried. I tried running after you but I lost you in the crowds. I'm so sorry. Alice told me after. You should have said. Oh Bella, where are you? We've looked everywhere!' Edward ranted. I giggled.
'To be honest, all I know is that I am in a hotel in Uptown,' I told him. 'I was too messed up to realise which one.' My admission made the silence tense.
'Have a look around Bella, please. I need to see you.' I sighed but did so. I went through the pack I'd been given.
'Edward, it says: Bentley Hotel, ok? That's where I am. Room 146. Come and get me, please. I'll wait,' I whispered into the phone.
'Thank you, my darling. I will be there in…ten minutes………Don't Move, please Bella, ok?' he gabbled. I smiled weakly.
'I won't.' I said and hung up.
I lay spread eagle on the bed and took in the hotel detail. It wasn't bad at all. Nice and stylish. The bed was a little lumpy. I sighed and rolled over.
The next thing I heard was heavy hammering on the door and unfamiliar muffled voices. I gasped and shook my head but I couldn't see a thing.
Gah. I thought angrily. Why is it always me?
Ta da!
You just gotta love cliffies! Lol!
I'm thinking I may not do the trial, it would be really, really difficult. Sorry guys and besides they all have confessed to it but I will put their sentences in chapter 30.
Please review 25 times!
Or no update…
DUN DUN DUN
Love to you all,
Beth 'Extremely Sorry' Cullen
