Chapter 27

Help me! Please!

B'sPOV

The rest of the weekend, we spent together. Edward and I were inseparable, if we were away from one another, we were either texting or talking on the phone. I no longer felt like the third wheel when I was around the other couples; I'm sure Edward felt the same. If only I was sure of his feelings towards me...I thought smiling at Amber when she past me Monday morning. "You look like you could use some coffee." I yelled up the stairs.

"Don't say that!" She yelled back. "Make me a small cup. You know what I like."

Slowly, I poured her a small cup, added three teaspoons of sugar and two splashes of milk. "Here," I handed it to her, careful of splashing it. Amber was finally done getting dressed and we were both ready to go. "Let's go!"

Call me crazy, but I had this strange vibe going through my body that today was going to be bad. "Stop worrying!" Amber scolded while paying close attention to the icy roads. The look of pure concentration graced her face. "Nothing is going to happen."

I nodded, but continued fidgeting. "You can't be sure. I have this huge feeling that those phone calls...they aren't just some bored kid." I started biting my nails, a habit I had picked up unknowingly from Amber.

"We're almost at school. Edward will be there. I'm sure he'll calm your nerves." She soothed with a evil smirk.

I sighed, content with that thought. "If only he felt the same," I muttered quietly.

"He does! Hell, even I can see that!"

I smiled. "Whatever!" I looked out the windshield. "Oh look, we're here?" I said in a confused tone.

"Bella?" Amber asked fear coating her words.

"Uh-huh?" I answered grabbing bag absentmindedly, my eyes locked with theirs.

"Why is the whole student body staring at us, as if we're ghosts?"

"I don't know, but sitting here in the car isn't going to answer that." Slowly, we got out the car and made our way to our usual spots.

First, the silver Volvo pulled me in, I smiled. Then the red BMW, Alice yelled excitedly along with Rose. Then, the huge silver Hummer Jeep, Emmett beeping his horn theatrically. Lastly, the blue and black motorcycle, Amber smiled lovingly at the rider. Though what we were greeted with, wasn't what either of expected; but what are our lives without the unexpected happening here and there. "Seriously! You guys had to it over voice recording?" Rose asked first.

I looked at her confused. "What are you talking about?"

Alice flipped open her phone, my story along with Amber's story was broadcasting threw the speakers. "Why did you send it to us? We already knew." Alice asked shutting her phone, looking at us intently.

I looked at Amber, she was just as confused as I was. I scanned around the school parking-lot; everyone was still staring at us, their phones out. "Oh my god!" I whispered frantically. I ran up to a random girl, she had her headphones in her cell. I yanked them out.

...I used to have a little sister, Annabel lee, but...she was um... our father killed her...

"Shit!" I whispered and did the same to the girl closest to the first one.

making me damaged goods, they obviously didn't want me to be there's and only there's forever...

"Oh my god! Amber!" I yelled and ran back to her. "Someone taped the sleep-over and sent into the whole school population!"

"So, everyone knows?" She asked looking at the still preoccupied motorcycle. He was listening to his cell phone. "Oh my god!" She ran to Jacob. "Don't listen to it! I wanted a different way to tell you, Jake! Please!" He took off his helmet, he looked at her in disbelief. "Jake, I'm so sorry."

His face was stone cold and he swallowed thickly. "I don't even know what to say to you!" He turned and started up his motorcycle again and left the premises.

Amber fell to her knees. "I'm sorry, Jake! I didn't mean for it to happen like this!" She sobbed loudly. "I'm so sorry!" Alice and Rose rushed to her side and gave me an apologetic look.

I looked over at the still running Volvo. "Edward," I sighed stalking over to the passenger door. I opened it. There he sat, my story playing through the speakers, his face in shock. He and Phil made it perfectly clear they didn't want someone with me other than them. They made me damaged goods. They made me terrified of every male to walk this earth. Tears formed in his bright vibrant green eyes. My vision blurred, the car swimming in odd shapes. He opened his mouth to speak, but I was already speaking. "I'm sorry. Amber and I never wished for this to happen." I took a deep breath. "We...we won't mess with your family anymore." I leaned out the car, he went to speak again, but I cut him off once more. "I'm going to get many comments for the rest of the year, so just shut up and listen to this one thing I have to tell you." Tears continued falling down my cheeks. "Before I go, I want to tell you something..." I choked on a sob. "I-I...I love you, Edward! I love you!"

With that I ran to my car, opened the drivers door and drove away. I didn't think it was such a good idea; me driving in this state. I just didn't care anymore. I loved Edward. He said he would look past the memories. Past the scars. Past the burns. Past my past. Past it all. I guess he just couldn't handle it, that thought began the stream of more tears.

Sometimes I'm a selfish fake.

You're always a true friend.

I don't deserve you

cuz I'm not there for you

Though I wish I would be...

I pressed ignore. No way was I talking to Edward. I didn't know where I was going to till I passed the dirt road. I slammed on brakes. "Ah!" I gasped at the head rush as my head hit the headrest. I turned the car around and went down the bumpy dirt road. The fence made more tears come. "What did I do to you?" I asked the sky. "Do I really deserve this?" my phone vibrated:

New text!

From Edward!

I shook my head, snapping the phone shut. Quickly, I flipped myself over the wooden wall and continued running away from...everything and everyone.

Sometimes I'm a selfish fake.

You're always a true friend.

I don't deserve you

cuz I'm not there for you-

"Stop calling me!" I hissed into the phone. "If you want to say shit behind my back and my sisters, go ahead, just keep my ears from hearing it!" I snapped my phone shut without letting him get a word in and continued on.

Thirty minutes later, I walked to the edge of the meadow...our meadow. I smiled through my tears. I couldn't taint its beauty with my sadness. So, I sat on the edge of the grove, crying my heart out to the haven, hoping for some answers. It felt wrong being here without Edward. I sighed. Can this day get any worse? I asked myself and started to call Jacob to tell him the same thing, when I heard footsteps behind me. Quickly, I pulled up a text message box to Amber and got ready to text her if anything went wrong.

"Don't move," a menacing voice said from behind me. I didn't budge. "Good girl. Very good girl." he whispered evilly. I felt as if I couldn't breath. "Ok girl, get up. Up on your feet!"

Slowly, I got up, dropping my cell to the ground in the process, covering it with a few leaves. "Show me the keys."

"I-I don't have them. I-I l-left them in the ca-car." I said.

Next thing I know, I'm on the ground spitting up blood. Immediately I start texting Amber. The man smiled and lifted his dark hood; I nearly screamed. I pressed send. "That's right, Bella. I'm the guy that has hunted you for the past two weeks. Watching you. Following you. Calling you. Texting you. E-mailing you. Stalking you. Wanting you." he continued smiling, before grabbing my arm and pulling me up. "Come on, you little bitch!" He sneered

As we made our way back to the car, I could barley hear Edward's ring tone. I hope he found it and my body when I died. When we jumped the fence, I purposely cut my hand on the fence, letting someone know I had been here. "Get in the fucking car and go where I tell you to!" I did as I was told, slowly backing out. "Left." I turned left, keeping my eyes peeled for any escape routes. "Right." I took a sharp right and went down a trail made by four-wheelers and mountain bikes. "Go all the way down and there is a cabin. Go inside and get undressed. I'll be in shortly."

I whimpered quietly. Not quietly enough. Swallowing my blood, I rubbed the spot where he had smacked me. I nodded. Once I pulled out, I was faced with a small cabin, hidden away from the world by trees, bushes, and weeds. I gripped the wooden door, I heard him peel-out down the long driveway. Time to look, I thought fearlessly opening the door.

I was greeted by a girl, about a year or two younger than me. "Hey...what are you doing here?" I asked sweetly, leaning down to her height. She flinched away. "Honey no!" I whispered quietly. "Let's start off simple, do you have a name?" she didn't answer. I looked over her for the first time; nay blue, nearly black, eyes, fair skin and bright caramel brown hair. Over all she was beautiful. "I'm Bella."

"Re-Reneesme," she whispered finally.

I blinked. "Who are you parents?"

"S-Sam and Em-Emily U-Uley..." She was terrified, I could see her trembling just standing there.

"You live in La Push don't you?" I asked fresh tears forming in my eyes.

She looked at me in confusion. "Yes."

"My father is the chief of police. I helped put up your missing posters. You've been gone for three months, Nessie. Sam and Emily will be so happy to see you. I promise we'll get out of here, ok?" I said fiercely, nearly shaking her shoulders.

Suddenly the door opened, Nessie went white. I glared at the bastard that had taken us. "I thought I told you to get in a room and get undressed?" he said putting my keys in his pocket and layed the three six-packs of beer on the coffee table.

"Nessie, go to your room and don't come out till its all quiet, ok?" She looked at me, fear and worry covering her face. "I'll be fine. I can handle myself." I didn't know if I was comforting her or myself, but I knew I wasn't ready for this. Renee and Phil, you could see when they were going to strike, with this guy, I didn't know. She looked doubtful, but obeyed anyway and ran to her room, no doubt listening in. I turned and glared at him, and spoke with hatred and through gritted teeth. "Hello Stephen!"

Oh snap! I know it wasn't as long as you wanted, but it was an update. And for all the wonderful reviewers out there, I give you a huge theatrical hug, you have no idea (or if you write, maybe you do) how it feels to get your praise. Next chapter isn't going to be huge or anything, but it'll be longer than this one. Hope you like! Review!
