A/N: So it's Easter Sunday here in "sunny" Pennsylvania… and I'm freezing… obviously, it's colder than in Florida. Anyway, I have this chapter complete, and I'm pretty much complete on the next chapter. I will be adding some things to make it more juicy, but I hope you enjoy this one. I will update Tuesday with the next.
Happy holiday and happy reading.
DISCLAIMER: I am not Ms. Meyer, therefore, I don't get to keep Edward for myself.

I stared in horror as Coach James took a step closer to me. Then, another step. I backed away until I had my back against the wall. When he took one more step towards me, I moved towards the corner. Soon, I had no where to go.
"Are you finished running from me Bella?" His voice was nothing like the voice he had always used.
"Why are you doing this? Why would you do this to me?" I screamed. I could feel angry tears start to flow down my cheeks.
"Do this to you? What about what you've done to me? How about how you've tortured me this year? You've only shown me that you wanted this all year long. Your actions have shown me what your words have not." His eyes bore into me. He licked his lips as he continued to stare at me.
"What are you talking about? I haven't done anything." I wiped furiously at the tears, wishing that they would stop. But my anger was too much to hold in anymore.
"That's amazing. You are still denying your true feelings. Your desire to help me all this time showed me exactly how much you care for me. You were so willing to help me, so willing to be with me. I just thought this would make things easier for that to happen." He took another cautious step towards me. The distance between us was growing smaller and smaller.
"I don't understand. I never…" I gasped and realized what he thought my actions meant.
"You cannot be that naïve. You have to know what you do to practically ever male around you." As he said this, he closed any remaining distance between us. His right hand came up and touched my cheek.
I flinched away from his touch. "I love Edward. I want no one else. Surely, any one can see that."
"Ah, Cullen… Well, you'll see that he's not worthy of you. I mean the poor boy collapsed on the basketball court. Granted, he did give me the perfect time to get away, but, any one who truly deserves your love would be standing strong, ready to find you.
"Edward and my family will find me. And they will put you in jail. You can't keep me here. I don't want to be here, just let me go."
"You don't get the choice anymore, my Bella. You will be mine now. No one else will ever get the chance to be with you." He leaned in closer and tried to kiss me. I turned my cheek at the last minute and his lips connected with my cheek. "You little BITCH!" His hand smashed across my jaw and caused my body to fall sideways.
I tried to crawl away, but he was able to stand over me and kick me against the wall. I heard a loud crack and felt a very sharp pain in my side where his foot connected with me. "You will obey me, do you understand?"
I could barely breathe. I could only nod in hopes that he would not hit me again."
He picked me up and set me on the bed. "You will be mine before this night is over. But for now, I'm going to let you get yourself ready. Make yourself pretty for me."
With that, he walked away and out the door, slamming it behind him. All I could do was lay there and cry.

I came to with a crowd of people around me. People were screaming and I could see police officers talking to witnesses around me. I couldn't shake the feeling that I knew what was going on, but had suppressed it.
"Edward! Oh my God! Edward, thank God you're okay… you are okay, right?" My sister was speaking a mile a minute. I could barely understand everything that was coming out of her mouth.
"Alice? What's going on? Please, slow down, breathe even." Alice laughed slightly and then sighed.
"Um, Edward… I… well… tonight Bella… was… taken…"
"Alice, I know Bella has been taken. I meant what's happening now?"
"Oh thank God. I thought for a second you had amnesia again. Well, the entire police force is here. I honestly thought there were only a few officers, but they must have called in friends from Port Angeles or something, because there are over 50 cops here."
"Have they found her yet? Do they know what happened to her?" I looked frantically around the gym. People were standing around with groups of police officers around them. I kept looking. I could see all my teammates, our assistant coach, most of the cheerleaders, including Lauren who smiled at me and winked. I kept looking and then it hit me.
"Alice… get the police… I know who took her… I know who's responsible for this." I saw her run off towards Charlie as I did my best to get to my feet. They were the only people missing. They had to be the ones who had taken Bella. I didn't know how Coach James had done it when he was involved in our game, but now that he was missing it was so obvious that he was involved.

Once I had finished sobbing and crying, I began to focus my efforts into keeping calm. There had to be a way out of this. There had to be something that I was missing. There had to be a way for me to escape. I would have to figure this out before long because Coach James's words could only mean one thing. The man planned on raping me, and I refused to allow that.
There was nothing in this room besides the bed. No side tables, no lamps, nothing. Nothing would help me overpower him. I listened for sounds coming from the outside. I could hear Tyler and Coach arguing, but couldn't make out all the words. I walked closer to the door and pressed my ear against the wall.
"… you promised. You told me that if I helped get Bella away from Edward tonight, that you would help her see how much I loved her. You promised that she would fall in love with me." Tyler's voice was angry, yet sad.
"You are an imbecile. Why would she fall in love with you. You are a pathetic whiner who is worthless. She could only ever truly love me. Now get away from here. I would hate to have you listening as Bella shows me just how much she loves me."
I gasped and backed away from the door. I hurried to the other side of the room, amazed that I didn't trip over my feet and cause further injury to my body. I kept my body pressed firmly against the wall and said a quick, silent prayer that Edward or someone would find me before it was too late. When I opened my eyes, I saw Coach James standing in front of me with his sick, twisted grin plastered on his face.
A/N: So, let me know what you think. Please send me a review or message. Love you all!
