Okay so this chapter is short but, that's only because I was setting it up for next chapter which is super uber duper long!
I turned around and all hopes of it not being him disappeared. There he was. Him in all his blond and muscular glory. I used to think he was the most attractive man alive, but then I met the Cullen's. Well the Cullen's aren't really alive so I guess he is. Anyway, right in front of me was my own persona demon.
"Stephen." I greeted him.
"Come on Izzy! No better greeting for me?" he asked.
"No. And don't call me that!"
"Izzy, come on! You know you love me," he reached out and slapped my butt,"nice ass to!"
"Don't touch me!" I shouted at him.
"Come on, Izzy. Just relax. Enjoy it. You know you've been waiting for this." He got very close to me. To close.
"Get your hands off of her!" Edward growled. The glare he gave was scary enough to make even Stephen back off.
"Okay. Man. Chill." He backed away slowly with his hands up.
"Come on, Bella. Let's go." Edward said and pulled at my arm. We got into the Volvo and Alice was in behind us in a flash.
"Bella, who is this guy?" Edward asked. I started crying. No, scratch that. I started bawling.
"I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry!" I said to him, because I was. Because it was the only thing I could say.
"Sorry? Sorry for what?" Edward asked confused. I couldn't answer, I was trying to hard. I tried to calm myself down. I could tell Edward and Alice were very confused.
By the time we got to the Cullen's house I had calmed myself down considerably. Alice rushed in ahead of us. Edward and I walked in to find that Alice had the others caught up. Esme handed me a tissue. I took it. I didn't wipe my eyes or blow my nose. I just held onto it. As if begging it for strength. Because I would need it.
"Bella, who is Stephen Kingsforth and how do you know him?" asked Edward. They need to know. Edward can handle it. I told myself. I took a deep breath.
"When I was fifteen years old…"
