Edward's POV

I looked over to Kenny wondering where Bella was. "So how long have you and Bella been dating?" I asked.

Kenny just started laughing. "You're kidding right Bella and me?" He laughed again. "She's like my sister... and I would never date my sister." he looked at some girl who just ran in from the front entrance, "Brittany..."

I turned and saw this girl who use to go to Bella's house all the time she looked angry and scared all in one. "Who's that Kenny?"

Kenny continue to stare at the girl. "That's Brittany, she's Bella's cousin from her mom's side. They met when she and Bella were like six. I haven't seen Britt since then."

"How do you know it's her?" I asked starting to get worried.

"Brittany is very protective over Bella and even when she was six Britt had that look when she was trying to protect Bella."

I looked up to see Brittany had made her way to our table and was yelling softly at Emmett. I could see in Emmett's eyes something was wrong. Minutes later Brittany was running towards the bathroom.

After what seemed like twenty hours Emmett's phone went off. I could tell Bella was in trouble just by the way Emmett yelled in the phone. When he was done I walked over to him. "Em, where's Bella?" Everyone at the table was looking up at us.

"She's at home. Brittany took her home." He answered grabbing his jacket and car keys. "Rose we have to go." She nodded waving goodbye to everyone. He turned to my sister, "You can come pick up the things Bella borrowed tonight ok." She nodded and then they were gone.

I grabbed my jacket and went to get up when Carmella pulled me back down. "Where do you think you're going?"

"I need to go grab something." I sort of lied.

"But we had plans for later tonight."

I sighed and looked at her, "I'll be there as soon as I can." I kissed her cheek and grabbed the keys to my Volvo and left. I drove for what seem like hours trying to figure out what happened to Bella. I continue driving trying to clear my head, I was about to stop at our favorite Bagel place when my phone went off.

E

You don't know me yet but I'm a friend of Bella's. Angel. Do u know where she is?

A

Angel? Oh right the guy Bella said was going to be living near her. That's who she was probably hugging at the pizza place.

A

Ya she's at home, some girl (Brittany I think), took her home. Em seem to be scared and worry and left after tat same girl called him back.

E

Two minutes passed.

E

Thanks

A

Now I'm worried. I drove home quickly and ran up to my room; which was directly across from Bella's. I opened my window and stepped out onto the balcony trying to see if Bella was indeed in her room...

Buffy's POV

How could I have lost her? She was right there. I will kill her as soon as I get my hands on her. "Buffy?" I turned and saw Angel standing there. "Are you ok?"

"She got away Angel. So no I'm not 100% ok." I look away and he walked closer. "She knows where Bella is now; this is entirely my fault Angel." Tears fell down her face as quick as they started. "I thought she was safe. Angel, I'm scared."

"Everything will be ok Buffy. I won't let her take you or Bella away from me. I love both of you too much to lose either one of you again." He held me close and it felt so right. I didn't want this moment to end because then I knew reality would finally set in. "Bella's at home love; I think we should also go home and get some rest."

He was right, what good was I if I haven't slept. "We're still going to Bella's in the morning right?" He nodded. "Ok, then let's go home." We got into the car and drove to our apartment. My mind was still on the fact Darla was in town which meant Jacob was probably to…

I walked into Bella's house and saw her lying on the floor. I ran to her quickly. "Bella what happened?"I looked at her face which were covered in bruises. "Bella, tell me what happened."

"He hit me." She whispered softly. "He was very angry Buffy. He said he was sorry, but it still hurt." She tried to stop crying.

That dog was dead. I held Bella close and grabbed my phone and called Angel.

"Hello?" a voice on the other end answered.

"Angel, Jacob attacked Bella. She has bruises all over her."I whispered trying to keep Bella from hearing.

"I'll be there soon; I'm going to go deal with a stupid dog problem." He hung up.

I just held Bella till her mom got home and took her to the ER.

Just remembering this made my eyes water as I laid against Angel's chest in our bed…

Bella's POV

I couldn't believe that she was back. I was scared, I didn't want to stay here, but where did I have to go. I didn't know what to do anymore. I laid in my bed with my eyes closed thinking about today. I heard the door open and close downstairs and figured it was Charlie until I heard my big teddy bear of a brother's big footsteps. About five minutes later I heard soft little knocks on my door. "Bella, its Rose and Alice may we come in for a few minutes?" Rose asked softly.

"Ya… its open." They both came in and sat at the end of the bed. "Hey…"

Alice walked over to where I was sitting and hugged me tightly. "We were so worried about you. Emmett wouldn't tell us what had happened."

"That's because he doesn't know either." I looked up and both of my friends' eyes were on me. "The only people that know are Buffy, Angel, Brittany and me."

Rose sat closer to us. "Do you wanna talk about it?"

Did I want to tell them of the worst days of my life? Was I ready for that? I sat there for a few minutes thinking about my options. "You know Edward is very worried about you." I looked at Alice slowly. "He left after Emmett and Rose did."

I looked at my best friends, "I need to talk to him, but I don't want her there." Alice nodded.

Rose smiled, "You know when Kenny and you walked in holding hands Edward got so jealous Jasper and I were laughing." I giggled and looked up at Alice who was blushing. "Alice, I know you like my brother. It's not rocket science, you should tell him. I know he'll really like to know."

I nodded and smiled. "Thank you guys for coming over." I looked at both of them trying to hold back my tears. "You have no idea what this means to me."

"We know you would do the same for us." We hugged each other for a few minutes and when I looked out one of my window doors I saw an outline of a person. Both girls looked at me and saw where I was staring at; both giggled. I saw out of the corner of my eye that Alice had gotten up and was heading to the window doors.

"Alice, what are you doing?" I asked getting ready to get up.

"Nothing… I just need to tell my brother something." I pretended to look shocked. "Oh like you really didn't know he was directly across from you." I blushed.

I took this moment to go to the restroom and clean my face off. When I got back both girls were on my bed talking. "What?" They both asked.

"Nothing." I smiled.

Alice and Rose both stood up. Alice turned to me. "We're going to let you relax." I nodded. "If you need anything call me."

"Well you can call me, but then again I'll be right downstairs." She smiled. "In my room, maybe." She added the maybe quietly hoping neither of us heard, but I know I did. As they left I laid back down on my bed.

God did I love those girls and I knew every time they were up to something. I grabbed Alice's Tequila bottle. I usually don't drink, but after the day I've been having, I think no one will really blame me as long as I didn't go and drive anywhere. I turn on my radio trying to focus on something other than what was going on.

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door
And you feel that you can't take anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Em I really not alone? I grabbed my shot glass Alice gave me and took a shot. Maybe the song is right maybe he does care and maybe I can trust him enough to tell him the things that might even concern him since she was back in my life; I take another shot. This meant everyone that I loved and cared for was in danger; another two shots. Edward… how em I going to be able to protect him when I can't even protect myself? I loved him so much; what do I have to do to get it through his head that I only wanted him. Why did Carmella have to be here and in my way? Why didn't he see he and I really belonged together…?

It's a quarter after one,
I'm all alone and I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call,
but I lost all control, and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without,
I just need you now.

I checked my phone and took another five shots then smiled. "Ello Eddie." I giggled.

"You know I hate that name Bellie…"Edward chuckled.

That simple chuckle always made me feel as if my heart was going to instantly jump out of my chest. "Well you didn't seem to care when Carmella called you that…" I spat. "or when she was purposely making out with you right in front of me." Now I remembered why he and I weren't together… He's an idiot.

"Bella… I'm sorry for that. I still don't understand why it bothers you so much, I mean Emmett and Rose make out in front of you. Alice has too, from what Emmett said Buffy and Angel weren't so scared to show affection… Why em I so different?"

Was I really ready to tell him that I was in love with him? What would this change? "You know what Edward it's been a very long day ok. I've been on an emotional rollercoaster ok… I hate your girlfriend she's evil and ever since I've gotten here she's treated me like slime… you know what slime has been treated better than I have…" I took another shot of Tequila… thank you god for liquid courage.

"Bella, what are you talking about?" He asked.

Here it goes. I took another shot and tried to contain my drunkenness "What do I mean… She told me if I ever tried to hit on you or even try to kiss you, she would kill me. At first I thought she was being silly, but nos she yanked my arm and glared at me with a threatening tone…" I sighed she reminded me of Darla. Everything she was doing was… oh no! "Oh no…"

"Bella what's wrong?"He asked worried.

I didn't answer I just hung up and ran downstairs. "Emmett we need to talk…"

He looked up from Rose. "What is it Bells?" Rose and Alice's eyes went to my face.

"There's a girl after me, she's dangerous and I think she's related to Edward's girlfriend." I sighed. "This girl use to date Angel until she came to mom's house and broke mom's last painting for me of Angel, Buffy and me. She and Buffy got into a fight because she lied and told Angel that she accidently broke it. After that I told Angel that Darla was cheating on him with this guy Jacob, who use to abuse the hell out of me by the way. When I told him, she was pissed so she attacked me. The last thing I remembered was she said, 'You'll pay Isabella Swan.'" I looked at my brother waiting for a response from Emmett or Rose, when there was nothing I continued.

"Somehow she found out that I moved here and today at the Pizza place when I ran to Buffy and Angel we all saw her." A tear fell down my face "She spotted us and started getting closer, Angel being the protective best friend he's always been, pushed me and Buffy behind him. She just stood there glaring at me…" I closed my eyes. "She looked at me and said, 'He can't always protect you Isabella, I know when you're alone, I will get a hold of you and make you pay for what you did… You took away my fucking soul mate now I'm going to take away your life.' After that Buffy's temper took control and she went after her. I called Brittany to come get me just in case Darla was somehow still somewhere around Warehouse and she was the only other person besides Buffy and Angel who knew about the Darla situation."

Rose looked at me, "Why do you think Carmella and Darla are related?"

"I didn't connect the dots 'till Edward started defending Carmella's actions, just like Angel did with Darla, and I bet if I go upstairs and look at my year book and look at Darla's name they are going to have the same last name." I looked at Alice then Rose then at Emmett. "You believe me don't you?"

Rose nodded and smiled. "I knew there was something I really hated about that girl. What are you going to do?" she asked.

I sat down across from them. "I need to get proof that Carmella had something to do with it, I am not going to start a fight with someone without proof." Especially if it involves Edward.

Emmett looked at me with worriedness in his eyes. "How are WE going to do this?" I looked at him confused. "I'm your big brother and there is no way I'm letting you go through this without me." I smiled softly then yawned. "Get some sleep Bells."

I sighed and walked upstairs. I knew in my drunken state I'm going to have a huge headache in the morning. I fell asleep as soon as my head hit my pillow…
