Chapter 31
EPOV
We Have a Lead!
Four days. Four days without Bella. Charlie still wasn't back; something about a week long fishing tournament. That would have been an advantage we would had taken gratefully, but without Bella...it just wasn't the same.
Ever since she went missing, things around the Swan's house has been chaos! Amber's a wreck! She's always on the phone, always talking to someone on that damn cell of hers. Jake tries to help her, but every time he does she says the same thing; "Its my fault this is happening. And I'm going to clean it up." She wouldn't listen to us if we said otherwise.
Jake had his work cut out for him. What with Amber tripping, everyone else going insane with trying to figure out where this guy was, and Sam calling constantly about some places to look for. I really didn't see how the guy does it! Me? Well, I've been looking up maps online of Forks, Port Angelas, and La Push and their woods. I'm a lot like Amber, obsessing with finding Bella...Bella...My Bella. I thought nearly smiling at the claiming.
Everybody's going to the party
to have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert
hoping for the sunshine!
(System of the Down-B.Y.O.B)
I searched for the device that was blaring that song. I found Amber's cell-something she was never off of-and some unknown caller. "Hello?" I answered, there was no reply. "Hello?"
"E-Edward?" her voice played through the speakers.
"Bella? Where are you?" I asked grabbing my keys.
"La Push, near the Middle School, but you can't come and get me."
I stopped in my tracks. "And why the hell not?" I didn't mean to yell, but I wanted her safe and in my arms once again.
"You guys did get my text, right?" She asked, her melodious voice coated in fear and, what sounded like, anticipation.
I nodded. "Yes! It took awhile to get what you meant, but we found out what it meant. Where is Stephens' hide away?"
She sighed. "Do Not come by yourself. Bring the rest. Plus Charlie. Grab a pen and paper." I did immediately. "You know that road that leads to our meadow?"
I nodded, a small smiled pulling at my lips at the words our meadow. "Yeah."
"Ok, continue going past that, take your second right, you'll come to a dirt road. Go down it. All the way down. You'll see a small cabin. That's where he's hiding us."
"Us?" I asked pulling my pen from the paper.
"Oh that's right. Tell Jake, I have Reneesme Uley with me. Tell Amber, I love her and this was no way, at all, her fault." I could hear the tears in her voice.
"Hey..." I cooed softly as if she were right here. "Baby, its going to be just fine. I promise. I'll see you soon, ok?"
She sniffled softly. "I'm fine Nessie. Just hurts is all..." she probably thought I couldn't hear her, so I didn't say anything. "He doesn't feel the same." her voice trailed off.
I clenched my fists shut and my mouth snapped shut with an audible click. She won't be thinking that after I get her away from that hell hole of a house! "Bella?" I asked, the pen stuck in between the knuckles of my hand, screamed as my strength crushed its plastic body.
"Yeah?" Her voice was a little breathless.
"Do you want me to bring Amber?"
"Yes!" She said immediately afterward. "She needs to meet her monster. Head on. DO. NOT. COME. TO. THE. CABIN. TILL. TOMORROW. MORNING. PLEASE! He usually leaves at 8:45. you have to be there between 8:00 and 8:30. Understand?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes, Bella! I'll be there and we can go home and never have to go through this bullshit again, ok?:
She stifled a small giggle. "Ok. See ya, Edward."
"Later, Bella." she hung up. "I love you."
After that, I called Jake, who was with Amber, Alice, who was with Jasper, and Emmett, who was with Rose, and told them all the same thing: "Get to Swan's house. ASAP!" Twenty minutes later, Jake, Amber, Rose and Emmett were through the door. All curious to what I had in my hands. They all wanted to know, but I was waiting for Alice and Jasper. Finally after waiting another thirty minutes, Alice and Jasper ran through the door. Everyone glared at them.
"I'm sorry! The freaking motorcycle cut off mid-way down our main road. So we had to push it back-"
"I had to push it back," Jasper interrupted.
"...and get my Porsche!"
I sighed and shook my head. "whatever. I got a call today." They all leaned forward. listening intently. "From Bella!" Amber gasped gripping Jacob's shirt, while crying tears of relief. "Yes she's alive. She's rooming with Reneesme Uley." Jake smiled happy tears forming in his eyes. "Reneesme is also fine. I have directions here to get to the cabin that they are in. She said not to come till 8:00 in the morning." I paused handing the paper to a sniffling Amber. "She wants us all there." she smiled gripping Jake closer.
"We have to think of a plan." Emmett said grabbing my pen and another piece of paper. "Any ideas?" I smiled, I was going to get my Bella back.
I know! Completely short! Next one is a little short too, but I have a feeling you're going to like it/hate it! Depends on how much you like Alex (Bella's Ex-bf!) That's all I'm telling you! Lol! Enjoy and Review!
