I found a small alley way with two openings and full of rubbish bins and large storage containers. I hid the best I could after making sure James hadn't seen and dialled Edward's number.

"Hey sweetheart, I was just about to call you" Edward's velvety voice greeted me on the other end.

"Edward" I choked.

"Bella, baby what's wrong?" he asked worriedly, hearing the panic in my tone immediately.

"James broke in, he's trying to kill me" I gasped, struggling to catch my breath.

"WHAT?" Edward yelled in response. "I'm coming home now Bella, I'm getting Lee to call the Police now."

"I'm not at home, I got away but he's chasing me. It won't be long before he finds me. Edward he's got a gun."

I heard Edward gasp and curse on the other end of the phone, "Bella I need you to tell me where you are baby" Edward begged.

I told him what I could remember about the directions I had taken, brief things I had seen as a blur while I ran. "Edward I…"

My phone was knocked from my ear, falling on the ground beside me. "I told you not to run Bella. I told you I would catch you and now I'll make you pay" James growled.

"BELLA" I heard Edward screaming through the phone.

James grabbed me by my wrists and pulled me to my feet before slamming me into the brick wall behind me. I cried out in pain while he punched me with all his strength. "That's what you get for trying to hurt me Bella that really wasn't very nice."

I could feel a warm wet feeling spreading through my hair, blood. I could smell it in the air around me, rust and salt.

I knew I was nearing the end of the road now, I could sense he was getting angrier by the second. I wanted to fight back one last time, but my head was pounding, I felt so dizzy. Then I remembered Edward, I had to get to Edward.

I pushed James from me and made a dash for it down the dank, dark alley way. Feeling desperate I ran straight out onto the road, running down the middle. All the while I hoped and prayed for my life to be spared.

I heard car tyres screeching, speeding around the corner that was right in front of me. Through the pouring rain I glanced up, it was a silver Volvo. Edward.

Edward stopped suddenly, his brakes protesting loudly. He launched himself from the car, running towards me. I threw myself into his arms and he wrapped them around me gladly, despite the dirt, blood and water that covered me.

"Bella" Edward cried, "Baby are you hurt? What did he do to you?" he demanded. Edward pulled back to look at me, "He hit you?" he gasped looking at my no doubt battered and now bruised faced.

"Let her go Edward" James demanded.

I turned around to see James standing behind us just a short distance away. "I told you Bella, this all ends tonight, you will not stand in the way of me and Edward any longer" he said calmly.

"WHAT THE FUCK?" Edward screamed, "YOU FUCKING HIT HER" he bellowed. "I'LL BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU, YOU PHYSCOTIC….."

"I'm in love with you Edward, can't you see?" James interrupted. "Bella is all wrong for you; she's just been a distraction."

Edward sucked in a deep breath beside me; I could tell this had knocked him for six. Hell I was still in shock over his confession myself.

"Wait what?" Edward asked confused. "You, you're…?"

"Yes, I always have been from the very moment I saw you I knew" James replied, I could see the adoration in his eyes. "I'll kill her tonight and if you still don't want to be with me I'll have to kill you too. If I can't have you then no one can."

James raised his gun, pointing it straight at me and from behind us I heard sirens. The Police squad cars screeched around the corner stopping to a halt behind us. James held the gun steady as the officers piled out of the cars, guns also at the ready.

"DROP THE GUN!" I heard one yell at James.

James gritted his teeth and glared at us, "I won't be stopped this time" he told me, "This plan will not be ruined again by you" he added pointedly glaring at me.

"I said drop the gun" the officer warned.

"NO!" James screamed, "She deserves to die!"

He cocked his gun at me, I heard the gun clip clicking; I heard the sound of the trigger being pulled. I closed my eyes and heard the gun powder pop as a bullet was fired. And then I screamed.
