Okay, First of all the only reason I am able to get these up so quickly is because I have Pneumonia and am forced to stay in my room for a week. But this seems to be going well so as I get better I will try to get on and type a chapter at least once a week.
I don't own anything.
I went home to the large dorm I shared with Alice and Rose. No one was there. Emmett wasn't allowed to come in because it was after 10. I don't even know how he got away with it last night. I left the door unlocked because I knew Rose would be coming home tonight. I fixed myself a bowl of ice cream and put on some pajamas. It felt good to relax for once. I was watch endless re-runs of Law and Order SVU on the television when there was a knock at the door. It was almost 12 by know, who is out this late? Oh that's right, people who have lives. I figured it was just Rose and I might have locked the door without even realizing it. I walked my door to the sink and set it in there. I ran to answer the door. It was unlocked. I opened it to see Edward.
"Edward what are doing here?" I asked.
"Bella they all know! I'm going to have to kill you then wait for them to come here and kill them to! If you would have just kept this a secret I wouldn't have to do this!" He said. He pulled a gun out and pointed it at me. I couldn't breathe.
"Edward I thought you loved me? Why would you kill me?" I asked. I had to get him to put the gun down.
"I do love you! I'm questioning your love to me right now. If you really loved me you wouldn't have told them." He said.
"Edward I was drunk!" I yelled at him. He shut the door so no one in the hallway could see the gun.
"Kind of like I am now!" He said. "People do stupid things when they are drunk. You told your friends that I beat you and I am going on a killing spree. Were not so different are we Bella?" He asked.
"Edward how about you put the gun down and we go and sit on the couch and talk about this?" I suggested.
"It's to late for that! I tried to talk to you last night in the alley but you were just laying there and you wouldn't move or make a noise." He said.
"Edward you beat to the point where I was unconcious. It wasn't my fault!" I said to him.
"It's always your fault! That's why if I shoot you now I won't have any faults!" He yelled.
"Edward please just put the gun down." I said calmly. I was slowly backing up. My back was against the table now. I picked up my phone so Edward wouldn't see and slipped it into the pocket in my pajama pants.
"Edward I really have to pee. Can I go do that really fast? Then I can prove to you how much I love you." I said to him.
"If that is your death wish then yes, you can use the bathroom." He said.
"Thank you, excuse me." I said. I backed away slowly and into the bathroom. I slipped my phone out of my pocket and turned the volume all the way down. I did the first thing I could think of. I called Emmett.
Hello? Bella it's kind of late for phone calls don't you think?
Emmett please come help me. Edward is here and he has a gun. He said he is going to kill me and then all of you guys. Emmett call 911. I won't be able to get away from him again.
Bella calm down. Where are you?
I'm in the bathroom. I told him I had to pee, I guess it's my last wish before he kills me.
Okay Bella keep this call going and the phone in your pocket. act normal. I will help you.
Okay Emmett, I trust you.
I put the phone back into my pocket and kept the call going. I flushed the toilet for show and ran the water for a minute. I splashed a little on my face to calm myself down. After a minute I walked out of the bathroom. Edward was standing right where I last saw him. The gun was still held up.
"Oh Bella, any last words?" He asked. I slowly walked to the counter. I was right by the spices and they were open due to Alice's cooking yesterday. I noticed Cinnamon. I slowly slid my hand up the counter.
"Well, I would have to say watch out." I said. I quickly grabbed the cinnimon and threw it into his eyes. He fell to the floor and dropped the gun. I quickly picked it up. He was crying out in pain. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and put it to my ear. I was pointing the gun at Edward.
"Emmett? Are you still there?" I asked frantically.
"Yeah Bells, I'm hear, what just happened?" He asked."Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I threw Cinnamon in his eyes and he feel tot he floor and dropped the gun. I picked it up and I am pointing it at him right now." I said.
"Okay Bella, I am almost there and the police should be there any minute." He said. Just then my door burst open. The police came running though. I handed over the gun. I told Emmett and he said he would be there soon and we hung up. A police officer sat me down on the couch an began to ask me questions.
"Miss. Swan is that correct?" She asked.
"Yes it is." I said.
"Okay I need you to tell me what happened tonight." She told me. I told her everything about how he would beat me and I washed off my makeup so she could see my bruises. She wrote everything down. Emmett came while I was telling the story. He sat down next to me. He wasn't happy that I covered up the marks and didn't tell him. It was about 2 am when the police were done with everything. They finally left and Emmett stayed with me. I was tired and falling asleep. He made me lay down on the couch and he sat on the chair as I fell asleep. I don't think I would have been able to sleep at all if he weren't there.
I awoke to the sound of whispering. I opened my eyes and I saw that Emmett was gone. The clock by the T.V. said that it was 10am. I sat up and looked to see Emmett and Rose arguing in the kitchen. They still hadn't noticed me so I cleared my throat. They both looked over. Rose came rushing over to me and gave me a hug.
"Oh thank god your okay!" She said. I hugged her back.
"Of course I am Rose. Why wouldn't I be?" I asked.
"Well your crazy boyfriend held a gun to your head and threatened to kill you last night." She said.
"I know but I had the situation handled. I would have been able to talk him out of killing anyone." I said.
"Okay looks like someone needs more sleep." Rose said. I laughed.
"I'm fine. This is good. I mean now I can press charges right?" I asked.
"Well yeah." Emmett said.
"Good now I can get him out of my life and start fresh. It's a new opportunity." I said. They both gave me strange looks but I ignored them. I stood up and went to make some pancakes.
"Bells how about I take you to lunch instead?" Rose asked me.
"Umm sure where do you want to go?" I asked.
"Well how about we go get Chinese?" She asked.
"Okay! I'm going to go shower first though." I said. I got up and walked out of the room. I am trying to stay optimistic. I don't want to feel bad. And to tell you the truth, I don't feel bad. I don't love Edward anymore. Well at least that's what I am trying to tell myself anyway. I know I can get over him, he has abused me for years and I can finally see that now. But he has also loved me in a way that no other person has. I just don't know right now. I need to get my friends off my back about this though. Maybe I should talk to Jasper, he should be able to help me. I need to call him today.
I got into the shower and washed up really fast. I put on a fresh set of clothes and brushed my hair out. It was already starting to dry and do it's wavy thing that irritates me but everyone else says is really cute. I met Rose in the kitchen.
"Hey! I'm ready to go!" I said to her.
"Alright, let's go then." She said. We walked out of the dorm and make our way to her car. She had a beautiful BMW. I still loved my mustang more but a girl has to appreciate a good car when she sees it. We got in and backed out of the parking spot. It didn't take long for her to start questioning me.
"So Bells, how are you holding up?" She asked as she grabbed my hand and held it. She stole a quick glance at me then went back to looking at the road.
"Rose I am fine. I'm thinking things through and I am getting help with it. You have no reason to worry now." I said to her.
"Bella you can't tell me I have no reason to worry when Edward threatened to kill you last night. The man had a gun pointed at you!" She yelled to get her point across.
"Rose, he is locked up in a jail cell and I'm pressing charges. He will stay in prison for a long time after I tell the police about how much he has abused me over the years." I said while looking at our tangled hands.
"Bella exactly how much did he abuse you?" Rose asked in a soft voice.
"It doesn't matter now because it is over." I said quietly. A tear escaped my eye and started to fall down my cheek. Rose didn't notice it and I was able to wipe it away and get a hold of my mind again.
"Bella I just want you to realize that I am here to help you. I can't stand to see you hurting." She said.
"I know and I promise I am trying not to hurt. I've loved Edward for so long that it is hard to get over him. I am going to do it though because it is the right thing. I don't like being the center of attention and right now I am. It bothers me. I just want to move on with my life and forget there ever was an Edward. I need to find something that will take up my free time, I need to focus on school so I can go to law school soon. I just need to do anything to get Edward to stop haunting my every thought." I said to her. She didn't respond. We dropped the topic and went into my favorite Chinese place. We got a table for 2 relaxed for a few hours.
While we were there we talked about Rose and her relationship with Felix was going. I was really happy for them, but Rose wasn't sure.
"So how are things going with you and Felix lately? You guys seem to be getting closer." I said to her as we ate the little bit of food we had left on our plates.
"Well I do really like him. I just don't know where he stands. Felix has cheated on a lot of girls in his past relationships and I am not sure if I am willing to be a victim. I don't know what I should do." She said to me.
"Well I think that you should talk to him. I did get that feeling from him though. But maybe he is willing to grow up and get past this stage in life. But I was talking to Angela last week on the phone and Demetri is going to transfer to our college." I told Rose. A smile grew on her face.
"Are you serious? Demetri is coming to UCLA?" She asked.
"Yes I am serious. I know you guys never wanted to break up, maybe this is your second chance." I said. She was clearly happy. And that will be the end of Felix in her life. I'm sure they wouldn't have lasted much longer anyway. I don't want to see Rose get hurt and this is the way where she will win. I'm not sure if Felix would cheat or not but she was so in love with Demetri and I would hate to see her pick Felix over him. They were great together.
We finished up our food and I payed. There was a huge argument and a promise that she would pay the next time. We got back into her car after that but I felt like I needed to go somewhere and do something.
"Hey Rose, I want to go out tonight. You up for it? Maybe we could have a girls night?" I asked her.
"Bells that sound like so much fun. We can go dancing with Alice and then we could go all out and do a movie night and have a spa day tomorrow!" She said.
"That sounds great! I can't wait to get back and tell Alice!" I said. We hurried home so we could find Alice and tell her of our exciting plans. I wasted no time running to our dorm and practically knocking down the door to find Alice. I haven't been able to hang out with just my girls in a long time and I need to have some fun.
"ALICE!" I yelled when I was inside. Rosie was right behind me. We were both in fits of giggles. Alice popped her head out of her bedroom.
"You rang?" She asked.
"Yeah! Cancel all your plans for tonight and tomorrow!" I said.
"Aww why? I just made plans to go over to Jasper's house tonight!" She whined.
"Were going to have a girls night!" Rose said.
"And explain what we are going to be doing?" She asked with a smile creeping up her face.
"Hit the clubs tonight, then movie night, the spa tomorrow, girl talk, and the rest is undetermined." I said.
"Okay I will happily join on 2 conditions." She said. Damn this girl can be evil.
"And what would those conditions be?" Rose asked.
"I can dress you both for the club and we get to go shopping after the spa tomorrow!" She said. I looked at Rose and she shrugged her shoulders. I agree, it's not THAT bad.
"Okay Alice. You got it!" I said. She squealed and ran over and practically jumped on me giving me a huge hug. It was about to be a long night.
Okay! tell me what you think! I know what I want to do with the next chapter... maybe, if you shoot me a better idea though... 8)
