Chapter 6
Short, but exciting!
Thoughts rushed threw me. He didn't want to give up, or go to jail, for that matter. Would he kill me? Highly doubt it; Bella, he did stab you. True…
Would he keep trying to get me back? I hoped not.
I was sitting on the couch with Alice, when their was a knock at the door. Only one day had passed since the indecent. This was the first knock since Jacob left. I didn't understand who'd be knocking on the door at this hour. It was about ten pm.
Alice and I stared at each other, for a long time. Carlisle and Esme weren't home. Neither was Edward. Just Alice, Jasper and I.
Jasper came down the stairs, as another knock on the door. Jasper looked out the window, and looked a little surprised. "Jasper?" Alice asked, as he opened the door.
"We have a warrant for taking Isabella Swan into custody." I heard a deep voice say. Jasper looked skeptical. "She's not here at the moment." Jasper was suddenly thrown to the ground, and an officer was putting his hands behind his back.
"Jasper!" Alice shrieked. My eyes went wide as another officer came threw the door, and grabbed me by my arm. "No! Let her go! She doesn't want to go with you!" Alice said, trying to fight off the huge officer. They stuck me in the back of the police car, and I felt tears fall down my cheeks. This was it, back to the hell house with Charlie.
I heard my angels voice then. "You can't take her!" I looked out the window, to see Edward shouting in the officers face. "Edward!" I shouted, and his eyes traveled toward my tear stained face. "Let her go." He threatened.
"I'm sorry, but Sheriff Swan requested his daughter back, in the attempt of kidnap."
"What?" I shouted, appalled. Their eyes traveled toward me. "She wasn't kidnapped! She ran away, to us! We took her in, when that bastard beat her!" I was crying again.
"From my record, she is only seventeen. When she is a legal adult, she can go wherever she desires. Until than, her father requested her back." Bull shit. My birthday was tomorrow.
"Her birthday's tomorrow! She'll be eighteen than!" The officer scoffed, "Than I guess you'll have to wait until tomorrow."
"Nonono!" Sobs shaked my body. All I wanted was to be in Edward's arms. Who knew where Charlie would take me. New York? Florida? China? I couldn't let that happen. I couldn't be without Edward. I couldn't live without him.
The officer, peeled out in the car, and started off down the road. "No! Edward!" He stood their with his face in his hands, knowing he couldn't do anything. I felt my cell phone in my pocket. The windows were up, and the doors, on an automatic lock.
The steel separating the officer and I, was sound proof. I pulled out my phone, and sent a text.
Edward,
What's happening?
I wiped the tears off my face, as I awaited my reply. My phone gave a light buzz, and I picked it up.
Bella,
I don't know. I broke my promise. I'm so entirely sorry, I will be at his house when u get there. I love you.
I felt tears trace down my face, once more. I wasn't mad that he'd broken his promise, just angry with myself. I shouldn't have brought him into this. Second, because he said he loved me. I felt my heart flutter in this upstate situation.
The short length to his house made me nervous. Did they know what he did? Where they okay with it? Was this guy just going to drop me off and let him kill me?
I saw Edward's Volvo as we passed it. He was there. He pulled up to the house, and pulled me out of the car. He opened the door, and led me in. Charlie was on the couch, watching TV. "Oh, thanks Greg." He smiled. "Greg" left, and pulled out of the driveway.
"Now Bella," Charlie started. "It was wrong of you too tell those people, when I told you not to say a word. And what your friend did; Edward" He chuckled, "Was even more wrong. I don't want it happening again." I felt a sharp pain across my face. I screamed out in pain, and I heard shuffling upstairs. This man was an idiot. He knew I was going to just leave again, didn't he?
I ran up the stairs, and slammed the door behind me. I sunk to the floor in tears. Edwards arms were around me and I felt at peace. "Bella," I sobbed into his chest, gripping him for dear life. "Just kill me." I begged. "Bella, calm down. He won't hurt you anymore. I took care of it." I looked up at him; confused. "What do you mean?"
He smiled slightly. "The pictures we took, of what he did. And the facts, and my father is a doctor, were suing him. He can't hurt you anymore Bella."
I was still confused. "Until the day he's sentenced to jail, he can hurt me until than."
"No he can't Bella."
"How so?"
He glanced at the clock, and smiled.
"Happy birthday Bella."
