I included the infamous months in here because well, it just fit lol Thank you Stephenie Meyer. Of course I don't own the characters or anything.
Still BPOV:
I stormed up to Edward and slapped him. My hand almost bruised immediately and despite the pain I was in I refused to let it show. He only winced out of guilt, but at least he had. His eyes raised to mine and pleaded with me to give him some leniency. I pushed him then, which caught him off guard and he took a half step back.
"What the hell, Edward?" He stayed mute which was not surprisingly irritating me.
"We all just think it would be better if you had a change of scenery until this is all figured out."
"You put them up to this?"
"No, Bells. We all came to an agreement." My father's voice boomed from behind me. I whirled on him almost too quickly. He flinched.
"I'm not going any where. Over YOUR dead body!" I screamed at him.
Well, my father was still alive and kicking. It had already been a few days since I arrived in Florida. I guess it wasn't good to have a fast vampire, a doctor, and a chief of police for family and friends. I was still pissed that they chose to drug me and transport me like luggage. It felt more like a mafia deal than a visit to my mother.
"Baby?" My mother said knocking and opening my door. Baby…My eyes closed against the pain and I willed it away, rolling over to face the door. She held a plate of food in her hand.
"Yea, I'm awake mom." My voice betrayed the way I tried to sound light and then fell flat on the last word. A tear threatened to slip out but I quickly blinked it aside.
"I know you don't want to be here dear, but you do need to eat. What if your baby comes back today? You wouldn't be strong enough to hold her." Thoughtfully I sighed. She was right. "Oh, and Edward called for you today. He said your cell was off and he was trying to get through to you. I came earlier, and you were still sleeping so I told him you would call back."
I bristled. I hadn't spoken to him in about just as long as I had been here. There would be no chance in hell that he would even get close to a sentence from me. I wanted to be out there looking for my baby too no matter how 'unsafe' it would be. I had survived many things, I would survive that as well.
"Tell him I'm not here whenever he calls." She blinked in shock.
"Are you sure honey?" She pressed.
"Yes, mom, I'm sure."
"Alright, but I hope you know he will probably see through that."
I shrugged my shoulders and turned away from her, facing the wall again. She sighed and squeezed my shoulder. I heard the clink of the plate as it touched the dresser and my mouth almost watered. I knew I would have to eat soon.
October. November. December…and finally, January. I hated my life. Four months was a lonely time and most of that I ignored Edward. He emailed me updates. They were never close to finding her. Every time they received tip's the girl's age had changed. I was giving up.
Flipping aside the covers, I darted out of the bed. I rummaged through my suitcase and pulled out a few articles of clothing and shoved them into another bag. I ran down stairs and passed my mom and Phil, and into the kitchen. I flung open cabinets; grabbing non perishable items I could eat by hand. I shoved about 20 Nutri-Grain bars into it. Phil could always buy more. Turning I ran towards the fridge and collided with my step-dad. He wasn't that much older than me, it was sort of weird.
"Oof." He let out air as we tumbled to the ground. Urg. Great. I pushed myself up off of him awkwardly.
"Crap..sorry." I continued towards the fridge, grabbing Jell-O's and fruits once I got there.
"Starving?" He raised an eyebrow. "Renee, I think your daughter's gone crazy." He laughed and winked at me, joking as usual. I laughed back half-heartedly.
"Um, Bella?" My mother said questioningly as she appeared in the doorway.
"Yea…just…hungry." I lied, and not too well. "Can I borrow the car? I wanted to go to the Library today." I patted my bag. "Fill this up with books and then go to the Art Museum."
"I don't know…." She trailed off and I could see her thoughts flipping back and forth.
"Mom, Edward's handling it. I just need to keep busy you know?" I took a huge exaggerated bite of an apple. "I'm starving." Her face lit up in a smile.
"Okay. You can take Phil's car." To that he looked at her like she had lost her mind.
"Oh no, no, no, no, no. Hell no. Baby, I love you, I love her, but I drive a Jag. No one's taking Daddy's car any where." My mom rolled her eyes.
"Take my car. The Station Wagon is still hip honey." I scrunched up my nose. She just said station wagon and hip in a sentence together. Total oxymoron. I hugged her and Phil and grabbed the keys. At least I had access to a car. Goodbye mom.
Throwing my bag in the back seat, I started it. I was going back to Forks.
------
I knocked and knocked and knocked with no answer. I peered in through the glass. No one was there as I sort of figured out. I frowned. They had to all be doing their daily Renesmee rounds. I sighed and sat down on the porch. I would just wait. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I flipped it open. It was my mom again for the 50th time. By now she knew I wasn't coming back. I listened to her message.
Hey, Bella, it's your mother. I am just worried about you dear. Call me back. Please. Now.
I closed it and sighed. Nope. Not right now, sorry.
A car began pulling up into the winding drive and I immediately noticed whom it belonged to. My heart raced. The windows were tinted a bit darker than I last remembered. Edward parked and in no time was dragging me inside. He deposited me on the couch and stood over me like a father would his child before a scolding. He fisted a hand in his hair in angst and threw up his hands. All in a silence of sorts. He paced looking at me in disbelief. I watched him and stifled a giggle.
"Are you insane?" He simply stated as he paced. "Are you INSANE?!"
"No. Could I ask the same of you? Because you're looking mighty crazy right now." I couldn't help but to laugh at the sheer shock on his face.
"Bella…what the hell are you doing here? Alice told me you would come but I just hoped you wouldn't." I blanched. I watched as his eyes narrowed. I couldn't tell if it was at me or behind me.
"I get it, I'm not welcome." I stood up and tried to rush past him before he could see me cry. I stopped short and my breathing caught. A beautiful strawberry blonde woman stood in my way. I watched her eyes flicker to Edward's and I turned to see his face. Guilt crushed across it.
"Hi. I'm Tanya." She smirked at me.
"I know who you are…" I managed to force out.
"Tanya, this is not necessary. Just go wait for me."
I watched her walk away and she waved at me over her shoulder. What nerve she had. So this was Tanya. The one person, who Edward found beautiful enough to cheat on me with, was here in the flesh. Was this the real reason he had me shipped out of Forks?
"I see." I said, taking in a swift breath as I faced him.
"It's not what-"
"Spare me Edward." I was angry now and I poked his chest with my finger. "It all makes perfect sense. You know, you didn't have to sleep with me before you had me sent off. You have all the vampire pussy you could want, why use me like Jacob did?" He flinched as if I had struck him. "Further more, I don't appreciate being kept in the dark about Tanya." I said her name with such disgust I surprised myself. "I know that I'm nothing but a lay to you now but you could have at least told me. And I know that since Rensemee is gone that you want to have nothing else to do with me so I will make this clear for me and you. Stay out of my fucking life FOREVER!"
"Bella.." He was pleading.
"No, don't Bella me or maybe you should. I'm starting to think this is a wild version of The Twilight Zone's rejected pilot. Vampires and Werewolves. What next, witches and warlocks? Oh, I know, some one is playing a joke. Well it's not funny."
I started my panic attack. One of many I had after being sent to Florida. I was losing my mind. I wheezed and held a hand to my chest. Edward was there and I waved him away, pulling away from him. I paced the room speaking out loud no matter how crazy I knew I sounded.
"I see a black vase. It has red flowers. The flowers are roses. The roses are big. The vase is on the table. The table is small. The table is next to the couch. The couch is white. The white couch is on the wood floor. The wood floor has a rug." I took a deep breath and blew it out slowly. "My name is Bella. I am a teenager. I have long hair. I have a blue shirt on. I have on jeans." I took another breathe and calmed. I sighed. It got easier every time.
"How long have you had to do that?" Edward's voice was laced with concern.
"Since you sent me away." My face betrayed me and it fell.
"Your grounding is pretty good."
"Thanks." I smiled. How could he even get me like this. I was starting to think we both were a bit bipolar.
"Okay now?"
"Yes..."
"Good."
"What does she have that I don't? Minus beauty, well, minus everything."
"She's not you." I now really took the time to look him over. He wasn't happy. He had dark circles under his eyes. This wasn't a man who was excited to be rid of someone. "And you are beautiful to me. I know I messed up with Tanya, Bella but she's just here to help us search. We have gotten loads of tips via her. I…shouldn't have brought her along but I insisted she stay in the damn car. She obviously doesn't listen. Bad judgment on my part, but in no way have I touched her, even thought of touching her, since that day. I sent you away out of fear. You know now, what they are. I couldn't risk him hurting you. You scream in your dreams about him. You cry about Renesmee. You tell me you hate me, but love me. I tried not to feel, but you make it so damn difficult. I'm sorry I shut you out. I'm sorry I sent you away because four months with out a word from you were just too much."
I took all he was saying in. He sent me away to protect me. That made sense. I was such an idiot to not have seen it before. His screaming at me had nothing to do with him not wanting me here, but afraid that maybe Jacob knew I would come back. He didn't want me in any kind of danger. He loved me enough to protect me. I sighed and threw myself into his arms. He wrapped them around me in a tight hug.
I began kissing him all over his face, his neck, his chest. Any where I could. I needed his touch. His lust. His love. Him. All of him. He responded in kind, his hand finding my breast and the other wedged in my hair as he brought his mouth to mine. A needy groan erupted from him. He kissed me again harder, then harder still. I heard my top rip off and I was against the wall behind the door before I could formulate any thoughts.
It was maddening, our love and want for each other. Just when I was about to give it all up I learned how deep it ran. Edward thrust inside of me and I cried out; lolling my head back against the wall. It felt brand new and all the same. Everything I knew and everything brand new. He was mine alone. I wrapped my legs around him at his frantic pumps. My head now in the crook of his neck as he spurred on, and I began to shake.
"Please, now…now…" I begged and I felt it. I held tightly to him as my orgasm consumed me. I whimpered into his shirt and then he loudly came with me, pinning me lightly as he leaned into my body. His breathing slowed and he let me go. I placed my feet back on the floor. Good thing I had clothes here. I eyed the shredded pile of what I used to be wearing.
"Sorry." He smirked a bit then his brow creased. "We can't keep doing that whenever we please."
I looked up at him confused. "Why not?"
"Because you can get pregnant now and as much as I would like you to have my babies I don't want to be a bunny." My eyes widened and he laughed at me, tweaking my nose.
"God. I would be on Maury for sure. 17 with 50 kids. Oh no." We both laughed together as he hugged me to him. It was weird how Edward and I could be all over the place and then as one. I felt him stiffen.
"Go get dressed." The look on his face told me that I better hurry and I ran up the stairs.
EPOV:
"Edward, are you done copulating like a wild animal yet?" Tanya called on the other side of the door. I swung it open.
"At least you didn't ruin it like you were thinking of doing." I scowled at her.
"It's not my fault you should be with me instead of that pathetic human."
"Well, that 'pathetic human' still has ears so keep your voice down. Besides, she's only pathetic because you hate her."
Tanya feigned shock and dismay. "I do not hate Bella." I loathe her.
I chuckled at her. "You're going to have to walk back to Seattle." I took a step back just as she lunged at me, her lips puckered. "Now you should know better than that."
"It was worth a try." She batted her eyes. She was recalling us together. How it felt for her. A twinge flitted in my gut and I pushed it aside. I was not going to even hurt Bella again. I rushed across the room.
"You will always remember it though, won't you? Like I do. It was wonderful."
"It was a mistake." I ground out.
"A mistake worth making." I glared at her across the open space. I heard the top step creak slightly and I implored her with my eyes. "Does she know that it was good for you? That you didn't have to hold back because you knew I wouldn't break?"
I scowled even more grabbing her arm as I came close again and determined on making her go.
"Let her go Edward." Bella said, hiding her anger.
"She was just leaving." I assured her.
"I have something to say to her." Bella looked at her then me as she rushed down the stairs. "I know you slept with him once, but never will you again. He doesn't want you. He doesn't love you. He wants and loves me. So back the hell off." This was the side I loved to see out of Bella.
"Well. I guess you told me." Tanya's voice rang with amusement and she turned to me. "See you later Edward." She winked at me and blew a kiss and was gone.
"UGGH!!!!!" Bella's face flamed red. "I can't stand her."
"Me either, to be honest. I'm sorry. Don't let her get to you. That's what she's counting on."
"Oh it's not me I'm worried about." She eyed me questioningly and very human like, I averted her gaze.
BPOV:
I lay snuggled with Edward. His cold body next to mine was heating me up better than a fire could. I wanted him again. As if we hadn't just spent twelve or so hours of making up for lost time. I still wondered if I was all he thought of when we did this. I know he was it for me. I blushed when he chuckled.
"You sure do think a lot." He teased. I blushed because it was obviously written over my face.
"Do you..care about her?" I didn't want to ruin the moment but I needed to know.
"Not at all." He was sincere at least.
"If you did you could just change me..So I could be like her and you wouldn't have to worry about me."
He crushed me against his chest. "I like you how you are."
"You didn't that night. You chose her." I backed up and looked at his face.
"I didn't feel good enough for you Bella if you must know. That was the only reason it went as far as it did and only once. I wouldn't and will never do it again. Alice despises what I did to you. Jasper lets me know almost every day what feelings you are having. I can't go one day with out knowing the pain I've caused you. Rosalie is the only one happy about us falling apart."
"So we are falling apart?"
"No." He kissed my temple. "Were."
"So we were?"
"Weren't we?" I shrugged. I guess he was right. I snuggled into him. We needed to find Renesmee and fast. Tomorrow needed to be a better day. I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off. It had to be.
