Another chapter as promised :) Enjoy.

Chapter 17

So I was off to Italy with Freddie. Mom and dad agreed to it because they think that it would be the right thing to help me to get over him leaving me. There was one condition though, as there always is. And I did expect it so it was no surprise to me. In the hotel me and Freddie have to have separate beds. At first it was separate rooms but mom managed to convince dad that that wasn't a good idea as I wasn't in a very good state at this moment in time. She doesn't think I should be left on my own at all. Of course throughout this whole conversation I just stood there saying in my mind that I wanted to go. And with the help of my mother my dad finally agreed to let me go. I mean, he couldn't deny her anything. He loves her too much for that.

So here I was sitting on a plane next to Freddie, I don't really remember how I got on this plain. Things just seem like a blur to me recently. Freddie has been talking to me this whole flight probably trying to get a response out of me. He was, however, unsuccessful. He seems so friendly and selfless. He was only coming on this trip to help me get over wolf boy. I guess I kind of understand why wolf boy would have thought I might have fallen in love with Freddie. After all I couldn't think of anything wrong with him. But I still think it was stupid of him, he must have really doubted the amount I love him. And now I was suffering the consequences of his doubts, now im the one with the pain on my heart all the time.

The pilot's voice came on. "Please put your seat belts on, we are about to land in Italy." So I did as he said. I put my seat belt on. And even I can't deny that when he said that I got excited. I was going to be in Italy soon! I haven't ever been out of America before. And now here I was, on my first holiday, and I wasn't even with my parents. Oh well, at least I can say I had the experience. Soon enough the plane was landing and me and Freddie were getting off it.

The airport was cramped and stuffy. People were shoving and pushing and I felt like I couldn't breathe. Do they not have air conditioning in these places? Freddie was holding onto my waist the whole time, I assume so that I didn't get lost in the crowd. But his face would show that this was not what his reasons were for doing it. I mean I guess it made sense, he had told me he liked me. But I couldn't think of him like that. He was just a friend, a really great friend. I couldn't like him more than a friend even if I tried anyway, I love iim too much to be able to feel like that about anyone else. I didn't even know whereabouts in Italy we were going. Freddie hadn't told me. I guess I just assumed we were going to Rome it was really the only place I knew about in Italy.

Finally after getting our luggage and me being dragged through a load of people me and Freddie made it out of the airport. Freddie hailed a taxi and then gave him the address, of what I assumed, was the hotels. Whilst we were in the taxi waiting to arrive at the hotel I just sat there staring out of the window. Freddie was holding onto my hand. When was he going to get the hint that I didn't like him in that way? Then Freddie let go of my hand. I looked at him but he looked away. Oh right, he was holding onto my hand and I was thinking about me not liking him in that way. Oops. After a few minutes of us sitting there in awkward silence the taxi pulled up outside this really amazingly beautiful hotel. Freddie got out of the taxi and paid the driver. I got out after him and held my hand out for my luggage but Freddie insisted that he held it all. We walked into the hotel and Freddie went over to the receptionist to sign in. I looked around and was astounded.

On the ceiling there were wonderful patterns that looked so intricate that I wondered how they possibly managed to make something like that. Hanging from the ceiling was a chandelier that looked like it cost thousands. It had hundreds of hanging diamonds all in different shapes and different lengths. The diamond facets all sending rainbow reflections in every direction. The room was very well furnished with loads of black leather sofa's that looked very comfortable. The walls were painted a welcoming beige. Freddie tapped my arm and started walking towards an elevator. I followed him in. He pressed one of the buttons. I wasn't really paying attention to which button he pressed. The doors opened and I followed Freddie to our room. He opened the door and I followed him in. as soon as I had closed the door I turned around and looked at the room. I immediately froze where I was. There was only one bed.

I really didn't want to speak but I had no other choice Freddie was somewhere that I couldn't see. "Freddie, why is there only one bed?" I asked. He quickly came out from wherever he was and stood in front of me with a look of pure shock on his face. Oh right, he hadn't heard me talk for a few weeks. He soon regained composure enough to answer me.

"Oh right, yeah I asked the receptionist for a room with one bed because in case you have forgotten, I don't sleep." Oh right, I guess that made sense.

"Okay, then why is it such a big bed. It's like king size. You could have gotten me a normal double."

"Erm, well I thought you would want space whilst you were sleeping?" he said it like a question. I narrowed my eyes at that but then just walked over to the bed. Well I guess it made sense that he wanted me to be comfortable.

I really wanted to go out. It was still like the middle of the day. We had had a really early flight so that we didn't get here when it was night.

"Freddie, do you know where the nearest beach is?" I thought I may as well talk seeing as I had started now.

"Yeah I do. Give me a second and we can go" He said with a smile on his face. I went to my suitcase and got out a swim suit. I then went into the bathroom to put it on under my clothes. I really wanted to go in the water.

We soon arrived at the beach and me and Freddie were sitting on towels and the soft sandy beach. I was quite disappointed as it was cloudy. But then again I guess I wouldn't be at the beach with Freddie if it was sunny. It was still warm which I liked. I had my eyes closed and was just thinking about my childhood. Im not really sure why I was thinking about it but I soon stopped as I realised I was no longer on the ground. I opened my eyes and noticed I was heading straight towards the sea. I looked up and saw Freddie's smug face.

"Freddie! What do you think your do-?" I was cut off as my head went under water. I came back up gasping for air. Ugh, sea water tastes disgusting. I saw Freddie standing in front of me smirking. I jumped on him and pushed his head under the water. He came up choking on the sea water. Ha, that should teach him to not mess with me.

We spent the rest of the day joking and messing about at the beach. It was the most fun I had had in so long. I was glad that I had agreed to come on this holiday. It was exactly what I needed. We decided to walk back to the hotel so we could see all the scenery of where we were staying. I still wasn't sure of what part of Italy we were in but I wasn't too bothered. All I knew was that it was beautiful.

We were chatting and laughing away as we walked down the streets of Italy when all of a sudden I got pulled into an alleyway. I laughed when I realised it was just Freddie. I tried to walk back out of the alley but Freddie pushed me back against the wall. What the…? What was he doing? He started to kiss me very roughly but I pushed him away.

"Freddie what are you doing?" I asked shock plain on my face.

"Look Ness, I have waited long enough. I really like you and I cant stand being here with you and not doing anything about my feelings. I know you like me too, just admit your feelings towards me." What the hell is he on about?
"I don't have feelings towards you. I have nothing to admit. I just like you as a friend. You are the best friend I have had ever apart from him. Please don't ruin it by doing this." I really didn't want to have to end my friendship with Freddie. But I knew I would have to if he kept trying to get a response out of me.

"Okay, let me put this another way Nessie. If you don't do this with me now, I will take you to the Volturi and they will kill you." My mouth popped open. So that's where we were, we were just outside Volterra. I was so stupid to agree to come here with him. I hadn't even known him that long. Jake was right, I shouldn't have trusted him. I started to scream help but Freddie put his hand over my mouth. I was crying very hard now. I was still struggling against him but he was stronger than me. He ripped off my top and started kissing me again. I tried to push him off but I was unsuccessful. And now because I trusted him to easily he was going to…I couldn't even think the word. He let go of me but quickly put one of his hands on my arm so I couldn't run away.

"Help!" I screamed

"No one is going to hear you Nessie, its late and deserted. It's just me and you" He said whilst unbuckling his trousers. I started to cry even harder. He pushed me down onto my hands and knees and I knew that it was about to happen and nothing I could do would change that. One person flashed before my eyes. And I whispered their name.

"Jake…"
