Bella POV
He stood still, completely still. I was staring to get worried when he pulled me into a hug. I was more scared of myself then i was of him. If he had wanted to kill he could have done already. Thinking of this reminded me that we were alone in the wood. Fear cascaded down my body as his first words broke through.
" Bella, i would never hurt you!" Shock replaced the fear in an instant. I don't know why he said it like that 'i could never' was way different then 'unable to'. i knew he could hurt me, not because of his muscles, if he left me... pain i didn't even know existed was eating at me. Bella don't push him, he only likes you as a friend. i kept reminding myself.
"I know, but you don't need to be able to hurt me, Edward!" he looked confused. " If you left i..i would have nothing. I'd be nothing!" Tears weld up in the corners of my eyes. I wiped them away fast so he wouldn't notice, no luck! His hand flashed up and caught one i had missed.
" Bella, i want you to know that i will never leave.. even if I'm not here i always have you in my heart!" Aww, where would he go with out me? i know that is sounds clingy but i don't think i could live with out him anymore. All the bad memories are gone when I'm with him, but i don't wanna to lie to him. " Bella, please tell me what your thinking!"
" Edward can we leave please, my ribs are hurting. " i didn't want to be rude but i just couldn't stand being alone with him right agreed that we leave and soon, too soon we were back at his Volvo. He had carried me there, perhaps i fell asleep. What took five hours to hike felt like minutes to return.
" Bella do you mind if we stop at the grocery-store? we need some fresh vegetables."
"sure, but can i pick some stuff up to?" He allowed that, considering i'm living there now. It still feels strange to not be living at home, i never really thought of when i would first move out but i guess being pushed to the floor and kicked a couple of time would do the trick. Crap! I still need to tell Charlie that im moving out! What am i going to say to him? its not like Edward will come with me, what if he won't let me go an i have to stay with him? i can't keep living like that!
" Edward will you come with me to tell my father that im moving out, i mean... i don't wanna go alone what if.. he hurts me or tries to get me to stay?" I was shaking in fear as i realized how valuable i was to him. we go to the door of the store when Charlie police cruiser pulled up three cars away from us. i childishly hid behind Edward, totally forgetting i was supposed to be spending the night at his house with his sister Alice.
" Edward, what a nice little surprise" Charlies voice was thick with alcohol, if it where anyone else they would most likely be getting a DUI, not groceries.
" Why hello, chief Swan. Bella and i where just here to pick up movie stuff. Alice forced us to go even though I'm almost positive we wont eat any of it!"Edward held onto me tight, but to noticeable for Charlie to see.
" Belly, whhat are you dong here aren't you supposed to be at home entertaining our guests?" I gulped very loudly, hoping Edward would interfere. No luck there!
" Umm .. no ch-dad i'm sleeping over at Alice's house she called you no that long ago didnt she?" I was dead, he was totally going to think i was out with edward..crap!
" I dont wont to hear your excuses, get in the car," he grabbed my wrist tightly." I thought you would like James, after all i do you for you you cant ever serve him properly!" What....whos james? and serve him properly?
"Charlie, i have plans!" the alchool on his breath was overwhelming. Edward was there at Charlie's cruser.
"Chief Swan..Bella and I would like to go back to my house!" he grabbed the colar of Charlies shirt and lifted him a good fot from the ground. NOT HUMAN...what was edward.. this where my last thought before charlie was free and a punch was thrown to my face! Blackness consumed my body
