Chapter Nineteen: EPOV

Bzzzzz Bzzzzz Bzzzzzz

I watched my phone vibrate across the tiny table. I knew who it would be without even checking the caller ID.

It'd be the same person who had been calling me every ten minutes since the previous afternoon.

I knew I'd have to face this eventually. I mean just up and leaving with no word of explanation was bound to have my family worried.

I'd driven through the night and booked into a motel in some no name town.

If I didn't know where I was then they had no chance of finding me. I just needed some fucking time.

Having Bella scream like that, it brought back more memories than I would've liked.

And no one, not even Alice, could understand that.

Bzzzz Bzzzzz Bzzzz

The phone managed to vibrate itself off the end of the table so I resigned myself to answer it.

"What do you want Alice" I said in a way of greeting as I flipped the phone open.

"EDWARD ANTHONY CULLEN WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU!" my sister. Ever the word smith.

"Alice calm down, I'm fine. I've just gone away for a little while. I need a break."

Seemed reasonable enough to me.

"Why?" My sister seemed calm, but even through the phone I could feel her rage just simmering below the surface of her cool exterior.

"Something happened...with Bella I-.." I was interrupted before I could continue.

"BELLA FUCKING SWAN? THIS IS HER FAULT" she seemed to take a deep breath but before I could argue she was off again. "I'll fucking kill the bitch. Edward. Come home now. Mom and Dad miss you. I miss you. This'll all be dealt with by the time you get back" and she hung up.

"Alice?...ALICE?" I screamed down the phone even though I knew it was too late.

Hitting speed dial number two I tried to call her back.

"Hi you've reached Alice Cullen. I can't come to phone right now so please leave a message!"

My sisters automatically cheery voice answered me.

I think I may have growled at the phone.

Standing I picked up my keys and stormed out of the room.

She couldn't hurt Bella.

One Cullen was more than enough...

I just really hoped I wasn't too late.
