Sorry about the last chapter guys. It was a filler and we didn't want use to wait any longer, since we've had school start again.
Well, I know some of you have been dying to see what happens, so on with it:
BPOV
I sat inside with Edward, after our little make-out session outside. We sat in the lounge room, the TV on and everyone else was upstairs.
Edward and I were not really watching the TV but more each other, and I really hoped that my facial expressions were normal and not worried or confused.
"Bella, tell me what's wrong" Edward asked placing his hand on the side of my neck, and moved his thumb soothingly, across my collarbone.
"Nothing's wrong" I forced out and forced a smile.
"You're a bad liar Bella, now tell me" Edward instructed, moving his hand from my neck, to wrapping it around my right hand and running circles, with his thumb, on the inside of my palm.
"Well, it's this party" I stopped.
"Go on?" Edward urged.
"It's The Volturi's, they have been wanting me for years now" I concluded.
"Do you think I would let something happen to you?" Edward asked, eyebrow raised in question.
"No not while you there" I nodded in agreement.
"I will always been by your side" Edward mumbled out, while tiling his head to the left, then slowly but softly placed his lips on mine.
"That was a distraction" I said once Edward moved from my lips.
"I know it was" he smirked and let out a small chuckle, then his face turned serious.
"You're still worried, I can tell so don't bother lying, what wrong?" He asked full of concern.
I sighed out loudly. I knew he would be able to tell, there is no point lying to him. Better get it out there.
"It's Nathan, I am getting an off feeling about him" I sated, looking out the window, into the Cullen's front yard.
"What do you mean?" Edward inquired, head tilted.
"I don't know, I have always had this feeling, but the way he was trying to get me to go to the party" I shuddered.
"Bella" Edward warned.
"It just wasn't him" I softly whispered, into Edwards's chest.
"It's okay Bella" Edward said, pulling me onto his lap and rocking me back and forth, at a soothing pace. It really calmed me down.
"I don't want you to come with me" I paused pulling myself back, but before I could continue on, Edward interrupted.
"What, I am going with you no matter what" he yelled getting up, leaving me on the floor where his feet were, he was pacing the room, running is fingers through his hair.
"You didn't let me finished" I yelled getting up. I looked at Edward to say he was shocked at my sudden outburst, was an understatement.
"Sorry" Edward squeaked.
"I said I will go without you Edward" I pointed out, Edward was going to interrupt again, but I held up my finger, to signal one minute, "You will meet me there, I don't want Nathan thinking I invited you".
"Of course" Edward smiled.
"I don't want Edward going with just you, I have to come" Alice said bouncing down the stairs, with Jasper in tow.
"Alice goes, I go" Jasper nodded, looking at Alice, with love and admiration.
"I am not missing out on a party" Rosalie said coming from the backyard, smiling at me.
"Rose goes, I am too" Emmett boomed, "And who doesn't want to party" he snickered, putting an arm around Rose.
"Good thing we have an invite" Carlisle chuckled from the platform, on the stairs, holding up the invitation.
"Who will go and stay?" Edward asked, his arms now wrapped securely around my waist, his chin resting on my shoulder.
"Carlisle and I will stay" Esme stated from the banister, "We trust you to go by yourselves".
"Awesome, we can be like seventeen year olds, without parents supervisions" Emmett boomed, while Rose shook her head in embarrassment.
"Yeah party" Alice screamed from her spot, "Time to shop Bella" she said pulling my hand, but Edward wouldn't let his hold on me go.
"Not now Alice" I sighed, patting Edwards's head, with one of my hands, while Edward kissed my neck.
"But the party is in two days" she pouted.
"It is?" I asked shocked that it was do close.
"Yes, didn't you now that?" Carlisle asked, while I shook my head.
"It is Bella, now let's go" Alice wriggled her finger at me, telling me to hurry up.
"I am not going, Alice" I said firmly, "I will go in my own clothes".
"Go Bella" Rose whispered over to me, while Alice shot her daggers, through her eyes.
"Whatever" Alice hissed, and pulled Jasper upstairs, Jasper mouthed me sorry.
"Well I better get going" I sighed, turning my body around, so I was now facing Edward, our chests touching.
"Really?" He whined.
"Yes, really" I sighed, standing up on my toes, and giving him a passionate kiss, while he picked me up, so he didn't have to bend, and kissed me more fiercely.
"I will call you when I am home, I got a new cell yesterday" I called over my shoulder, while walking out the door.
I was in my car and on the way home, in no time.
I walked in the door, to notice no one was downstairs, except for Nathan, who had the chair facing to where I had just walked in. His eyes, nearly black, a look of fury on his face, which scared me.
"Where were you?" He hissed, getting up and stalking towards me, like a predator stalking its prey.
"Why do you want to know?" I hissed back, I didn't like how it made me sound, but I wasn't going to go through this, I wasn't his daughter.
"You're in my house" he growled.
"I'll leave then" I hissed once again, but stepped around him, and headed for the stairs, but he was already in front of me.
"No, you will go to your room, and stay there" he pushed me up the stairs, fully gripping my shoulder, that if I was human, my shoulders would have been crushed, this was just uncomfortable for me.
"Fine" I screamed, ripping out of his grip, sobbing dry tears all the way to the end of the hall, on the top story of the house.
I slammed the door shut, and climbed up on my bed and pulled the quilt up around my neck, and buried my head in the pillow.
I pulled out my cell, and texted Edward, I didn't tell him what happened, just something short and sweet:
Edward,
I am home, see you in three days, Summer wants help!
I will ring you party day for the plan.
Love you,
Bella. Xoxo
A little lie wouldn't hurt, and I knew Nathan wouldn't let me out anytime soon.
I got up from my bed and went to look at myself in the mirror, I looked normal, my hair the soft brown, a bit lighter, but still its natural wave, to the middle of my back. My eyes, a nice butterscotch gold, no time for hunting soon, good Nathan wouldn't let me out anyways. As I looked at my shoulder I noticed a bluish tinge of a mark on the top of both shoulders.
I shouldn't bruise, should I? I'll check them later, but for the time being, I walked to my closet and got a jacket from the coat hanger and wrapped it up around me.
There was a soft knock at my door, so I went to open it, praying that it was somebody else and not Nathan, I opened the door to find Heidi with Summer, looking at me with excitement on Summer's face.
"Yes?" I asked, a bit scared, not as scared as Nathan's experience though.
"Party, three days" Summer screamed, while Heidi groaned she was like me, we couldn't handle Summer's makeovers.
"Summer, maybe later" I said my voice weak, like I was going to break down again.
"Okay" Summer said slowly, and backing away, into her room, calling Heidi along with her.
"You okay?" Heidi asked.
"Never better" I forced a smile and closed my door, on her face, and went back to my bed. I looked at my cell, to see Edward had tried to call me several times in the last five minutes. I decided that it was best to turn my phone off.
******
It had been three days, since my experience with Nathan, and I hadn't left my room once, and he hadn't entered my room either, everyone knew to leave me alone, that I needed space. I also had my phone off at all times.
I tuned it back on, to call Edward to get the plan, the part was in hours. When it turned on I saw so many missed calls and messages, I just deleted them all and dialed the number I memorized.
"Hello?" Edward voice came through the speaker, and it suinded like it was scratchy, like he hadn't talked in awhile.
"Edward" I said back.
"Bella" he shouted, "Where have you been?"
"With Summer" I lied smoothly, nearly convincing myself.
"Oh okay" he sighed; I could imagine him running his hand through his hair.
"Plan?" I asked I was in a rush; I didn't want Nathan catching on.
"Okay, well you will lb ether around 4 you said, so I will meet you inside, around 4.30" he explained.
"Sounds good" I nodded my head, "Okay I have to go, ill see you tonight, and love you"
"Bella…" I heard before I hung up, the phone started ringing straight away once I sat it down, so I turned it off once again.
Summer came in to tell me that we were leaving soon, and that I was to get read now, when she walked out, I noticed she had a look of concern on her face. But I couldn't worry about that, there was an off feeling inside of me, and I also had to worry about looking good, without showing my shoulders, that still had a light bruising to them.
I walked into my closet and got dressed. Then I went to my full wall mirror and looked at myself. I chose a off the shoulder blue dress, where one of y arms where covered with a long sleeved, sleeve, the other one was still exposed, so I wrapped a dark blue shawl around my shoulders. The dress was knee length, but cut into triangles, so bits were longer than others.
I made my hair really curly, and put it up in a formal bun, with curls hanging out everywhere, with a little clip that was silver with blue stones, to support it, I also put on minimal make up.
I walked down stairs with my Black Hand purse, which had a little blue bow wrapped around it.
I took in my surroundings, to see Luke, Chris and Nathan all in black tuxes, while all the girls looked stunning.
Summer wore a simple back dress, which ended just knee length; it had a long v that plunged right down to under her bust where it met a black belt with a silver pendant stitched on. Her shoes where black strappy heels, and her hair was our and pinned back at the sides.
Heidi wore something simpler that suited her perfectly. She had on a on green halter neck top, that crossed at her back, and it ended just before knee length, at her waist it turned into frills, her shoes where white and were ballet flats, her hair was up in a pony tail with a green sparkly hair tie holding it up and green clips.
Natasha was beautiful in her long gown. It was floor length, which flowed behind her a little, it had a big slit up the side that reached up mid thigh, and showed a little skin, the top was boob tube. Her hair was straightened, and quiffed back of her face.
"Let's go" Nathan huffed, taking Natasha arm and dragging her to the car.
Chris took, Summer, while Luke took Heidi, me following behind quietly.
We were in Volterra, just hours later, and my stomach, felt like it was trying to tell me something, that something was off.
Was it the party, or the people?
