I smiled at him kindly but I inched towards the door. "I don't think you're pathetic, it's really nice of you but-" I said but I was cut off.
"But she's kind of busy with the guy she's already dating." A voice said from behind me, I turned and almost did a double take at who said it.
Chapter Nine
Classrooms And Bathrooms
"James?" I asked stunned as I watched him stare down the guy in front of me. His black eyes were cold as they looked him down and I almost winced in pain from it and it wasn't even directed at me.
"Uh sorry James… I thought you were with Victoria, I wouldn't have asked her out if I knew that she was dating you." The guy hurried out of the classroom as if he was a dog and he had his tail in between his legs.
James' attention then became directed towards me and I backed towards the stairs seeing as he was closer to the door. James was sporting a crooked nose and a black eye thanks to me and I could see the swelling from all the way where I stood. "You know if you were any other person and had any other friends you'd probably be in some ditch right now," James said as he stalked towards me and my hand instantly was digging into my bag as I searched for my phone all the while I was backing away from him on the stairs.
"Lucky me," I said with a small smile as my hand reached my phone and I quickly hit two on the speed dial and I prayed that he would answer. I slid my phone onto a desk so that he could hear if he answered and then quickly started to back away from the man who was literary stalking me like his prey.
James' fists clenched by his sides and then he grabbed my wrists just as I turned to make a run for it, "I had you once and I can have you again Bella. Not even your brother can save you." I was slammed into a row of desks and I felt the air get knocked out of me as I landed on the floor. "You had it coming when you hit me, but talking to Vicky about all of this just made it happen a lot faster. Vicky won't even look at me now because of a whore like you." He snarled and then pulled me up by my hair and then grabbed my face.
"Aren't you going to try something, anything?" he yelled. "You had enough balls to do it the other night, can't you do it again?"
I closed my eyes and prayed again that he would answer is damn phone and be on his way, "You're just a dumb bitch who just gets in everyone's way." I was thrown down on the stairs and I cried out in pain when my back hit the edge of one. "C'mon don't make this as easy as the first time," he whispered next to my ear as he started to undo my belt.
I squeezed my eyes closed and then brought my leg up and then kicked him with enough force to actually make him fly off and roll down some steps. I ran through a row and went to the opposite stairs and quickly made my way down them just as he was standing up. "You think you're so damn sly don't you?" he asked as he blocked my way from the door. He stepped towards me and I backed up until I was up against a wall.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked as I looked up at him.
His eye twitched and then I was left with a hot hand print on my cheek. "Don't play stupid, you know why."
I wiped away the blood that was draining from lip and stared at him with my back straight. "No." I said sternly and his eyes narrowed at me. "I meant the first time. Why did you do it?"
He smiled in a twisted way as if the image was playing in his head of what had happened. "Why not do it?"
James grabbed my wrists just as I was about to push him away and then slammed them against the wall and leaned towards me. "Ever since the alley I've been itching to do this again," he then kissed my neck.
"God you've got to be the sickest guy I've ever met." I said with disgust and then I slammed my knee into his groin making him fall to the ground in pain. As soon as I could I ran, but he grabbed my foot making me fall right on my face.
"You're such a stupid bitch," he groaned out as he pulled me towards him while I kicked him until I ended up kicking him in the face making him curse in pain because of his nose. I scurried to stand and then took off to the door and I didn't stop running until I was in my building where I crashed into some hard body.
"Bella are you okay?" I was in such a panic that it didn't register who it was, I just pushed away from them and ran all the way into my dorm room, and as soon as I closed the door I locked it and pulled my desk chair in front of it.
I pulled my hands away and noticed how bad I was shaking; I shook my hands and then walked to my bathroom and looked in the mirror. My lip was busted and still bleeding, my cheek was still red and was probably going to bruise, and my wrists already had the blue and purple bruise of two big hands wrapped around them. I winced as I lifted my shirt just below my bust and saw red splotches all up and down my stomach and across my rib cage. I turned carefully and twisted my neck so I could view my back and saw a deadly black bruise that had splotches of yellow, blue, and purple right where I had been slammed down on the stairs.
I jumped when I heard my door being banged on and I quickly closed the bathroom door as I prayed that it wasn't James. I couldn't take another fight with him. "Bella open this damn door right now!" I heard the guy yelled out and I just continued to shake as I fell to my knees, crying.
Before I even realized it the bathroom door was wrenched open and I was pulled into someone's arms. "Bella are you okay?" Emmett asked as he carried me to my bed as I continued to cry and clutch onto him.
"Bella?" I heard a bell like whisper say. I looked up from Emmett's shoulder and saw that Rose, Alice, Edward, Jasper, Blake, and Chris were all standing there with a scared looking Jenny behind them. I stood up and stalked towards Chris and I pushed him with all my might.
He staggered back and looked at me with surprise. "You are a rotten asshole! I hope you had fun screening all my calls!" I yelled and pushed him until he ran into Jenny. "God you think you're such a hero from what you did that night. Well guess what Chris hero's show up when they're called even if they're freaking busy!" I yelled and then stormed back into the bathroom and slammed the door behind me.
It was minutes later when there was a soft knock at the door. After a moment the door creaked open and in stepped Edward. "It's just me… they all left, everyone thought you needed space. Can I uh… come in?" he asked as he opened the door wider and I nodded as I stared down at the tile floor that I was sitting on.
"What happened?" he asked softly as he sat next to me after he closed the door.
He wrapped an arm around me and I snuggled in closer to him as if my life depended on it… and it sort of did. "I really thought he was going to do it again…" I said and my voice cracked as I spoke.
"Do you want to talk about?" he asked and then kissed the top of my head. I shook my head roughly and then looked at my hands, that happened to be trembling again. "Alright… we don't have to, but I hear it's better to talk than to run away. You know like to a whole other state," he kidded.
I smiled, but quickly stopped when it started to burn, "Ha ha you're so funny." I felt him shrug from.
"So onto another topic… what was that between you and Chris?"
This time I shrugged, "I called him to apologize earlier and he just ignored my call like he always does when we fight, and then when James… I called him and he just… he didn't come."
"I think you did pretty well on your own," Edward said as he rubbed my arm. I sighed and snuggled even further into him. "By the way Chris' phone was turned off because he was talking to Jenny about what happened that night they slept together… that's how we all got into your room, she was with Chris and had her key."
I ran a shaky hand through my hair as Edward continued, "He wanted to talk to you but you weren't at your dorm and Jenny was so they talked and he switched off his phone so he wouldn't get distracted."
I nodded even though it didn't matter, I was safe now… in Edward's arms where I felt like I was supposed to be. "Edward?"
"Yeah?" he asked looking down at me and I saw for the first time how worried his green eyes were.
"Thank you."
AN: Okay so we have some major drama in this chapter!!! And because I added some of her and Edward you all have to review it's like a rule! lol!
