"What mystery girl?"
"There was another purse found upstairs in the changing rooms. There was no id in it."
"So what's up with you can Rosalie."
"Nothing. She's just a witness."
"That right. Just a witness who you call by there first name. Ok I believe you."
"Look there's nothing going on."
I leave before I get caught. I walk out the back door. I start running down the alley before he knows what I done. I don't want him to think he can't trust me. I start to walk in the middle of the alley. I see a white van but I don't pay much attention to. I hear a screech of tires as the white van starts driving towards me. I try to run but I can hear it getting closer, I get grabbed and pulled into the church and the door closes.
"Are you crazy? I told you to stay in the car. Why'd you leave?" he asks me looking down at me.
I look up at him. My eyes are a little watery but I try to keep myself from crying.
"I…I just thought that I might be able to remember more if I came inside. Then I heard some ofyouandyoutbrothersconversation." I stop when I notice that my words are slurred together. "Please don't be mad at me." I say looking into his deep brown golden eyes.
"I'm not mad. Frustrated, yes, but not mad. I mean you almost got hit by a van. It looks like there not going to give up."
"What do you mean that thery're not going to give up?" I ask standing up and looking at him curiously.
"I believe that this wasn't just Jacob wanting to stop his little sister from getting married. This is just two coincidental. I mean this was supposed to be a private wedding, right? He asks, I nod my head. "Well if it was supposed to be private, how would Jacob know about it? And why would someone want to shoot the bride and groom."
"Okay, I see your point. So what do we do now?"
"Well right now we need to get you outta here before someone starts asking questions that you can't answer."
I follow him out the side door. He looks from side to side before letting me out of the church. We walk out the side like normal before we get into all the chaos of the media. We run across the street towards his car. I get in. I turn towards him and watch him looking towards the church on the right side. I get out and look at him. I stare curiously at him. He's looking so hard and intense in the direction of the church. I just ask:
"What is it? What are you looking for?"
"Do you remember that white van?"
"Yeah! What about it?"
"Get in the car, NOW!" He says as he gets in like lightening.
I get in the car and put my seat belt on. I look at Edward. He turns the motor on and starts driving like a mad man. I look at him but then I look in my rear view mirror and see the same white van behind.
"Why are they following us?"
"My only guess would be you." He says never taking his eyes off the road.
"Me? Why me, I mean I don't even remember anything."
"They might don't know that and believe that these type of guys don't care if you remember or not. If you start to remember things it could be bad for them. And whoever started this doesn't want any witnesses."
"I can't tell what I don't know. I just want to not to be in this. Why don't you turn me into the police? That way you'll be safe."
"I'm going to be okay and your going to stay right here until you can remember everything. The police wont' be able to do anything for you without some good evidence. I promise I won't let anything bad happen to you."
Before I can say anything, the white van hits the side of the car. I let out a scream. I can see the drivers face. I see him reach into his side and pull out a gun and point's it straight at me. I just sit there like a dear caught in head lights. Edwards swerves the car in time and cuts in front of the car and the shot hit Edwards' tail light. Edwards turns a corner and blends in to rush hour traffic. He gets in between this huge truck and mini van.
I take my seatbelt off and look in the rear view mirror and look at the guys in the van trying to found out where we are. I look at Edward at see him watching me. I lean over and kiss him softly on the lips.
"What was that for? I mean don't get me wrong I liked it but…?" he asks surprised.
"Well that was for protecting me and keeping your promise. Thank you. And this is for…." I lean back over and grab the back of his head and bring it down so our lips touch. I kiss him hard. I deepen the kiss and slowly pull back. "For being you as well as I just wanted to kiss you again."
"That's great. Umm…you're welcome." He says a little tounge-tied.
"So where do we go form here?" I say as I can feel my cheeks heat up. I try to hide it by putting my hair in my face.
"Well, when we get through this traffic, we're going to The Posiedon." he says turning right. He follows the road. It has a perfect view of the ocean.
"What's The Posiedon?" I ask smiling.
He smiles my new favorite crooked smile.
"If I told you I'd have to kill you. It's better if I show." He says folowing the road towards the lake.
