Bella~

Everything hurt when I came too. It was like coming awake after surgery, everything was groggy and I wasn't clear on the details of what happened. My eyes opened slowly and I was aware I was in the coffee house. That's when it all came flooding back . I was being held hostage. Jake had a gun. I looked over to my left and winced from the pain radiating at the back of my head. Her head sagged, she was unconscious. Jake sat on the opposite wall in front of me. His arms slung on his knees, still holding the gun. His head snapped up and he smiled.

"You're awake." he sounded relieved. For a moment I wondered if he thought he hit me so hard he threw me into a coma.

"Jake why are you doing this?" I couldn't help but wonder what kind a sick tormented thought process drove a man to kidnapping his ex girlfriend and her best friend.

"So you'll see reason. We were meant to be together Bella. It was always supposed to be you and me." he said with conviction. He truly did believe what he was saying.

"Why did you have to involve Rose?" I straightened up as best I could with my hands tied.

"Rose wasn't part of my plan. I'm sorry she'll get hurt in this. Emmett's a nice guy. It's sad he'll lose his wife this way." he stopped for a moment and shrugged, "but that's what you get for associating with the wrong types of people. Edward really isn't good for anyone. Especially you." his voice was sincere. It made my stomach ache. He was so delusional.

"Jake you can let Rose go." I told him. My own life meant little right now. I had to make sure Rose would live. This wasn't her fault, she shouldn't have to pay with her life.

"I can't. She'll tell on us and I can't have that." he said.

"At the very least. You don't have to kill her. I'll give you whatever you want. Please don't kill Rose." I all but begged. If he wanted me to beg I would. I would do anything.

"I don't have any way to insure she wont rat us out until we're over the border." his words hit me over the head. He wasn't going to kill me, he was kidnapping me. I mentally calculated how much time I had before he took me away. I prayed silently to whatever god would listen. Please let someone come looking for me. Please let my Dad figure out something is wrong. Please please please. Pain filled my chest. I was right on the edge of having everything I ever wanted and now it was being taken away from me. Edward and I would never tell Lilly he was her father. My baby would grow up with no mother like I had. I would never see Edward's beautiful face again. Never kiss him again. Never make love to him again. It was all slipping away at the hands of the mad man who made me his prisoner. Rage flowed through my veins then, thick and hot. I wouldn't let it end this way. I wouldn't lose it all. Not until I had tried absolutely everything.

"Jake let's make a deal." I offered, my last ditch effort to save my life. Jake shook his head,

"In case you haven't noticed, I'm the one with the gun. I'm in charge." he informed me. I smiled,

"So you are but what if I could make this easier for you." I looked at him through my lashes. I knew without a doubt that always turned him on. It seemed like now was no exception.

"How could you do that?" he wondered. He was so stupid, he was falling for this. Suddenly I remembered the panic button my Dad installed under the front counter. It rang right into the police station. There was a secondary switch that was wireless underneath the metal prep table. He didn't know about them. He couldn't.

"I'll go willingly if you untie me and you don't hurt Rose. I'll leave town with you tonight. We can go right now if you don't hurt Rose." I told him and struggled to my feet. He stood up too and walked to me.

"You want to go with me don't you, baby?" he cooed. I smiled brightly.

"Now that I realize how much you truly do love me. I can't stay away from you any longer. Oh Jake, I love you." it was the biggest lie I had ever told and I was a terrible liar but he was buying it. He walked to me in a huge stride and swept me into his arms, dropping the gun on the floor.

"Oh Jake make love to me. Please." I begged. He stepped away from me and grinned,

"Bella here? With Rose right there? We couldn't." he smiled. I felt sick but hid it from him well. My eyes turned to the prep table to the side of us. I let a slow lazy grin form on my lips.

"Well at least let me show you how much you mean to me. Untie me, baby. I want to touch you." he did it before the words even exited my mouth totally. I rubbed my hands all over his chest and stomach, sucking in little breaths the way I would if I was truly into this. I maintained eye contact with him. I walked us over to the prep table, hopping up on it I opened my legs for him to get between. I felt sick and disgusted but I had to remember why I was doing this. If I could just get to the button then the police would be alerted and someone would come for me. I could save Rose at the very least. Jake got between my legs, running his hands all over my back and sides. I arched into him so I could get closer to the edge of the table. He kissed me hard and fast. I kissed back trying to make it good for him, believable at least. From the corner of my eye I saw Rose coming too. She would be shocked but hopefully catch on. My hands glided down his back to his ass. I slipped my hands in his back pockets and pulled myself forward. The button was right underneath my leg. I pressed both of my legs underneath the prep table. To Jake it probably felt as if I was grinding my hips into him. He growled with satisfaction. I used every muscle I had to make the little button click in. I felt it when it did. I sighed in relief. I stopped kissing Jake. I clutched my chest as if to catch my breath. I didn't want him to feel my heart pounding and grow suspicious.

"Bella what the fuck..." Rose exclaimed from her groggy position on the floor. I caressed Jake's face and hair never taking my eyes off him. Rose was smart, she would see the gun between us. I had to believe that. The red and blue flashing lights came through the big front windows like my own personal beacon. Jake's eyes changed, they snapped open. He was suddenly aware of what I had done.

"You fuckin bitch!" he screamed. His hands were on my throat before I had a chance to get away. He held me in place there with the lightest of pressure. Not enough to kill me but enough to hold me in my place.

"Rose, you go for that gun and I swear I'll blow your brains out." he exclaimed, "Bella, I am bending over to get the gun. If you move an inch, I will put a bullet in your head then I'll go and find Lilly. Do you want that?" he asked. My entire body went numb, "No." I said firmly. He bent over picking up the gun. He motioned for Rose to move on to the prep table next to me. She did as directed scooting closely into my side. I found her hand and held it tight. Jake stepped back, releasing my throat only to suddenly back hand me across the face. I gasped and held the spot with my free hand.

"You are nothing but a whore and I was going to let you live but now I'm going to kill you both." the dead look in his eyes told me that he meant it. He raised the gun and cocked it. I squeezed my eyes shut tight and prayed.

Edward~

I was driving back to Bella's with my trunk full of clothes when an odd feeling hit me, something was wrong. All the hairs on my arms and neck stood up. I drove faster then I should of and parked in front of Bella's house. Lilly opened the front door and ran to me.

"Somethings wrong!" she exclaimed. I opened my mouth to say something but Lilly kept talking instead, "Mommy left and she promised she would come back but she hasn't and I feel sick. Something bad is happening to my mommy. I just know it. Please help me find my mommy." her tiny eyes were filled with panicky tears. "It's okay love, just relax. Where's grandpa?" I asked her. She pointed to the house. I picked her up on my hip and went up the steps, letting myself in the house. Charlie was on the phone screaming.

"I want every cruiser, every officer in that parking lot in less then five minutes. You call anyone you can think of and get there!" he tossed the phone on to the counter as I heard the crunch of dry wall beneath his fist.

"Lilly go upstairs. I'll come for you in a minute." I told her calmly placing her on the floor.

"But Edward.." she argued. I simply pointed to the stairs and she went. The look of panic on my face told her this was no joking matter. I ran into the kitchen. Charlie was slumped in front of the sink, head in his hands.

"What's wrong?" I asked him in a daze.

"Oh god it's Bella. There's been an accident, hasn't there?" I asked him. He shook his head no.

"Jake's got Bella trapped inside the store. He's holding her and Rose at gun point." he said. I fell to my knees. All the air left my body, I wasn't sure even if I could breath that there would be enough air on the planet to fill my lungs.

"He's got Bella. Oh my god." I covered my mouth with my hands to cover the scream I could feel building. Charlie walked to me and placed a firm hand on my shoulders.

"You've got to keep it together son, we can't go to pieces yet. We have Lilly to think of." Lilly. Our daughter was upstairs scared out of her mind. I had to think of her. I had to do what Bella would do. Charlie went to go get Lilly. We would have to take her with us. I stood tall and took a deep breath. Nothing would happen to her, I vowed. Nothing could happen to her. If there was a god he wouldn't be so cruel as to let Bella walk into my life and then take her way so soon. I was sure of it but it didn't stop the panic. The grim fear rising like bile in my throat washed over me for a moment before Charlie ushered me into the cruiser and he backed down the drive way.

Before I knew it we were at the coffee house. Lilly cried softly in the back seat. I climbed out and took her in my arms. She wrapped her tiny arms around my neck and sobbed softly. I rubbed her back in soothing pats. I closed my eyes, letting a few tears of my own escape. When I opened my eyes again, I saw Alice. She was red faced and still in her pajamas. It was clear she had been awakened with the news. She ran to us flinging her arms around me. I kissed her head and leaned against her.

"He's got them in the kitchen. They said something about a hostage negotiator coming in but no one can find one that isn't hours away." she told me. I heard the screech of tires and the slamming of doors. I looked up and saw Emmett and Jasper running to the police barricade. I quickly passed Lilly to Alice. Emmett was attempting to push his way passed the officers, Jasper wasn't helping the situation.

"Let me through God damn it! That's my wife in there." he cried.

"Em, you gotta let us do our jobs. I know how this feels but you have to..." Mike said to him in his official police officer voice.

"You don't have any fucking clue how this feels! That's my wife. That's Jasper's sister in there!" he roared. Fury was coming off both of them in waves. I noticed the locals gathering slowly to see what was going on. I placed a hand on Emmett's shoulder right as he lost it and broke down in tears. He turned away from Mike and leaned on me. I hugged his huge body to me, not caring how undignified this looked.

"Em, Lilly's over there with Alice. We have to keep it together for her. It's what Bella and Rose would want." I said to him softly. He stood up and took several deep breaths before walking back to Lilly and Alice. Jasper and I stood side by side neither one of us knowing what to say, if there was anything to say at all.

"She called me last night." Jasper blurted out still staring straight ahead.

"Rose?" I assumed. He nodded lowering his eyes to the ground.

"I didn't call her back. She wanted to have dinner and I didn't even bother to call her back. If something happens to her I'll have to live with that forever." I knew how he felt. There was a lot I never got to make up for. If fate didn't favor us, I'd never get to try.

"This will be alright. It has to be alright. There is no other option but for it to be alright." I said trying to sound confident. Jasper didn't say a word, he just walked back to Lilly and Alice. I looked into the store and there was no movement. No signs of life. Charlie was finished being briefed and appeared at my side.

"How bad is it?" I asked him quietly. His face contorted into a mask of total grief.

"He's had them for two hours already. The more hours he has them the worse the out come. Edward, I lost Renee and I can't lose Bella too. I wont survive it." he admitted. I knew how he felt.

"I sent a car for Billy. He's going to try and talk some sense into Jake." he informed me. I stood numb beside him. I had never felt so helpless.
