Thank you to everyone who read my story I love you guys xx
You guys really made my day...
News regarding THE FAMOUS: To readers of The Famous I am slowly writing the next chapter but I've been having writers block with that story. I can't just write whatever and I need to be in the mood for it. I am about a quarter of the way through with it.
SM owns Twilight. I however have tried to steal a cardboard cut out of Taylor Launter from a local cinema...not really :)
I wanted you to know that I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Because I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

Have you ever had one of those moments where you wish the ground would just swallow you up?
Right now was one of those moments. I tried to walk around Edward but as I brushed past him he grabbed my arm. It was still tender from the ordeal with Mike. I hissed in pain and Edward looked down at my arm that now had a purple hand-print on it.
'Who did this?' he asked as his skin paled.
'No one' I said snatching my arm from him. I made the mistake of looking up into his beautiful green eyes. They looked so sad. I wanted to grab this beautiful man and kiss his pain away but I couldn't. He wasn't mine to kiss. Our bodies drifted closer together. He picked up my arm and brushed his fingers against it tenderly. He was pleading with me silently.
'I had a disagreement with a friend who was concerned about me. I went to leave when he grabbed my arm a little too hard. He didn't mean it' I said.
'Thank you for telling me' he said. My eyes for a brief moment drifted to his lips. Edward noticed my gaze and he brought his face closer to mine.
'Bella' Seth called as he approached Edward and I. We jumped apart and I chuckled nervously as Seth looked between Edward and me, clearly confused about the whole situation.
'I was getting worried about you' he said. With a sly glance at Edward I could see he was looking angry. Seth put his arm around me and pressed me into his side.
Edward looked at me then Seth and then back at me. 'Who's this?' he asked gruffly.
'I'm Seth' he introduced. He stuck his and out at Edward. But Edward was looking at me with a murderous glare his form shaking.
'Is there anything you wish to tell me Bella?' he asked.
'Edward it's not what you think'
All Edward did was shake his head.
'Not like I haven't heard that before' he said. My heart ached as I looked at him. I was never one to believe in fairytale, magic and love. But standing here with Edward did I believe in love at first sight?
Yes?
No?
Maybe?
'Edward really Seth is just a –'Edward cut me off.
'A friend' Edward roared, raising his voice causing some of the patrons to look over at us with worried and curious expression. I could see Leah looking at me from the other side of the room. Her brows mooched together as she looked at me in concern. I shook my head slightly and she turned back to the person she had previously been talking to but not before giving me a worried glance every couple of seconds.
'So Bella tell me. Does your boyfriend know you were out with me a last week?' he asked with a smirk. Why was he being so nasty? I didn't like this side of Edward.
'Seth is not my boyfriend. He's-He's an old friend from high school' I said my voice thick with emotion as it did every time I thought about something from home,
'Yeah right' he said looking at me in disbelief. He didn't believe me. 'I thought I had finally got used to having people sneak around behind my back. I was engaged a year ago and one day I came home to find my fiancée fucking my best friend. Do you know what she said?' he seethed looking at me angrily. I shook my head.
'Edward, it's not what you think' he quoted 'Your no better than Lauren' he spat. A deep sobbed erupted from my chest.
'Bella?' Seth said putting a hand on my shoulder. I shook it off and ran into the bathroom. I washed my hands and my face feeling dirty. Edward had been cheated on. Why would anybody want to cheat on him? The cold water felt nice against my flushed face.
I sighed heavily as another round of tears flowed freshly over my cheeks.

'You idiot' Seth exclaimed.
I looked at him with angry eyes. Bella had lied to me. Someone let me down again. It seemed all I was going to know in this life was disappointment.
'She's not my girlfriend' he said. Liar I thought.
'Bella came with me because my girlfriend is home sick. Bella was my older sister's best friend in high school' I looked at him confused. So Bella wasn't going out with Seth?
And I, Edward Anthony Cullen being the stupid person that I am accused her of being with someone else. I mentally smacked my hand to forehead. I felt sick for having to go off at Bella like that.
'Sorry man' I said rubbing the back of my neck and looking at him apologetically.
'It's not me you should apologise to' he said looking at me sternly. The door behind us creaked as it opened and out stepped Bella. She looked up at me with red, puffy eyes then she peered over my shoulder and she ran. Terror flashed through her eyes but she wasn't looking at me. I turned my head and looked over my shoulder.
Nothing looked out of the ordinary, patrons were talking amongst themselves, and waiters were hustling around taking orders and delivering food. I could never do such a tedious job. I looked at Bella and followed her gazed that was set on a man across the room. He was average looking with blond hair and brown eyes but he packing some serious muscle. He flashed a crooked nasty smile at Bella. I turned around to ask her what was going on but she was now in front of me and running out the door to the employee car park. Seth and the man ran out after her, I followed suit. It happened so fast I came to halt as I exited the door and I froze.
Bella stood frozen like a deer caught in the head lights as she looked at the goon holding the gun at her.
'Who are you?' Seth called. The man smirked. Bella's eyes caught mine and she palled even more. She turned her head slightly, showing me she was shaking it. Telling me to get out of here.
I furrowed my brows and shook my head in response telling her I wasn't leaving.
This man was obviously going to hurt Bella and I needed to do something to stop it!
'Who are you?' Seth repeated
'No one of importance' the man said, his voice rusty and bitter but smooth at the same time. Like someone who smoked a lot. 'But if you must know the names Joe' he said with a smile in his voice. The name was very intimidating or scary for a person who was holding a gun.
But Joe?
It was just so...so average.
Bella let out an involuntary squeak as realization hit her.
'He knows where I am?' she asked in a small voice. Who? I thought.
'Yes. We've known where you are for a while. He's not going to give up until you're dead. So we can make this easy and you can come with me now or it can be difficult your choice' Joe said as he experimentally clicking the trigger slightly.
'She not going with you' Seth declared. He pushed Bella behind him and she stood firmly in front of her, blocking her from the path of the gun. Joe smirked and jerked his head to right, telling him to move or else. He shook his head.
'If you want her you'll have to go through me' he said shakily as he outstretched his arms.
'Fine' Joe said as he pulled the trigger it all happened fast but Joe fired the gun and the bullet went spiralling into Seth's shoulder, his knees buckled and he gripped his shoulder wailing in pain as he dropped to his knees. Joe lowered his gun. I moved fast and got behind him, kicking his feet out from underneath him. His gun dropped onto the ground and Bella ran forward and picked it up, facing it at me. I took a step back.
Was Bella honestly going to shoot me?
'Edward, I really don't want to shoot you. Move now' she demanded as she drew in a shaky breath, I put both palms up and I moved over to the left and away from the man who was now getting to his feet. He spat the ground and turned to look at Bella with an evil smile. Bella didn't notice as he reached into his back pocket and retrieved a small knife.
'You're shaking like a dog' he said laughing.
'Hand over the gun little lamb and come with me' he cooed at Bella. Crooking a finger at her. 'It would be a pity to hurt pretty boy over there' he added jabbing a finger in my direction.
'I'll pull the trigger' she said.
'Like you did on James hmm? How did it feel to kill someone Bella? It's such a rush'
What? I couldn't believe it. Bella isn't the type of person capable of killing someone. Tears flowed down her cheeks and her body quivered and shook.
'They killed my family' she wailed as the gun in her hands shook more. 'All of them died. Charlie. Renee. Tanya. She was only ten and they killed her' she cried.
'You're lucky you came here with that fucker.' He said motioning to Seth who had pushed himself up against the wall, the blood was flowing out his arm at a steady pace and he looked slightly green. But it appeared the bullet hadn't hit anything major. 'We were waiting for you at your hotel room as soon as you returned from going out we were there' he said.
He pulled his knife out a little further. Light reflected off the street lamp making the blade glisten in the dark, catching Bella's eye. He looked over at me and I knew he was going to make an attempt to hurt me next. Joe was trying to get rid of me so Bella was defenceless, he didn't think that Bella was capable of pulling the trigger, neither did I but apparently she had killed someone before. Bella noticed that he looked at me; she looked at the knife and back at me.
Bella raised the gun higher and closed one eye in concentration.
'Go on. Do it' he said. Her hands shook violently as her hand inched the trigger back slightly.
'He's right you're a coward' he said. A look of anger and determination flashed across Bella's face.
Joe suddenly turned and hurdled himself towards me with the knife raised and like the idiot I was I stood rooted on the spot.
A shot fired and the noise of it echoed off the walls of the car park and rang around the small employee car park like a bell.
Joe fell to the ground a few feet away from me. I quickly tried to make my way over to Bella. Her hands were shaking violently. As I past Joe his hand shot out and grabbed my leg. But as soon as he touched me he was dead. Bella fired and other echo erupted throughout the car park. She dropped to her knees sobbing heavily. I ran over to her and wrapped my arms around her.
All I knew then was I would do anything to make Bella safe.

Edward and I had untangled ourselves from each other and had made our way over to Seth. I kissed him on the cheek tenderly.
'Thank you' I whispered in his ear. 'Edward dials 911' I said but he was already on it. Once he hung up I told him in a shaky voice to go in and get Leah. I turned back to Seth who was truly like an older brother to me. He had forgiven me so quickly after I left Leah and him; he had welcomed me back with open arms.
How did I thank him?
By dragging him into my crap and getting him shot in the arm.
Seth looked pale. I wiped the sweat off his forehead. I looked down at the wound on top of his bicep, I had ripped the bottom of his shirt and the blood was seeping through the thin material of his shirt. He wouldn't die of this but he might have to stay in the hospital for a while.
'Seth' Leah called frantically. She looked at him in horror as she saw the dried blood all over his arm and chest. The paramedics arrived shortly and Leah was ushered into an ambulance with Seth strapped to a stretcher. I was sitting inside at the bar with Edward's arms around me and a glass of water that was spilling everywhere. Edward set the glass down and looked me in the eyes.
'I have nowhere to go now' I said. Edward looked at me with sad eyes.
'Come stay with me' he asked or rather stated.
'No, I couldn't do that Edward. I've already caused you enough trouble' the look in his eyes told me not to argue and I didn't.
Thirty minutes later we were at Edward's house. It was in a nice suburb, the kind with the picket fences and swing set in the front yard. The house was beautiful. It was a blue Victorian style house with a brown roof and white skirting boards.
'It's beautiful' I breathed.
'It pales in comparison to you' Edward said and I smiled and looked up at him. It was nice to smile after things that had happened.
We walked inside. It had modern interior. Mostly whites and beiges with the odd splash of bright colour. Edward led me straight into his bedroom I followed him through into the bathroom. The shower and the bath were huge and had me thinking some naughty thoughts.
Not helpful at the moment Bella!
Edward cleared his throat.
'I'll um...leave you some clothes' he said and blushed slightly. He walked out and closed the door behind him. I striped and stepped into the shower. With the water hitting down on my face I reflected on the event that had happened tonight.
They say every time you killed a person you lose a bit of your soul. I didn't know whether to believe that or not. But maybe with Edward's help I could overcome these obstacles.
Finally have that chapter done...
I'm going to try to finish the next chapter for The Famous so I'm not exactly sure when I will post the next chapter
Thanks guys
