BPOV:
Jake and Billy had just left and I was laying down on my bed. I am so stupid, I can not think of anything on the spot. I had to tell them the truth...well minus the whole branch snapping part. Billy looked pissed when I told them that I had been in the forest. Charlie was just glad that I didn't get hurt and told me not to do it again. You know gave me the whole lecture on how I should call professionals if I think someone is in trouble. But I wonder why Billy was so mad, it's not like anything happened to me. I just nearly had a heart attack, but I'm fine now. I'm just sitting in my room discussing the events of tonight with the voice in my head. I'm totally sane. I rolled my eyes and my phone started buzzing from across the room. I glared over at it, it was sitting on my dresser. That meant I would have to get up to answer it. Something lazy people like me, hate doing. However, wishing my phone to shut up just didn't work, it kept buzzing across the room. Standing up I stumbled over to my dresser, I was dead on my feet. I guess getting scared to death really takes a toll on a person. Thank God that it's Friday, that means I get to sleep in tomorrow! I opened up the text message, from an unknown number again. I had totally forgotten about the other text and remember until I had read through this text.
"I told you it wont be safe for u here. Move, before something else happens. Next time, u wont be so lucky. - a friend. "
What the hell! What the fuck! That means that there was someone in the forest. I started to hyperventilate. That means that the person is after me! I just walked right in there too! To frickin' help them? What were they going to do with me? Attack me, kidnap me? Who the hell was it and who the hell is sending me these texts? They had to be in on it with them! I stopped hyperventilating for a minute and let reality set in. If their whole idea was to attack me, why didn't they? Suddenly I was a lot less tired, I was freaking out. What was happening? I came here to be safe. Now if I was getting threats it was like I hadn't even moved. At least I knew what to expect at home. Here, everything was unexpected. I had to get out. I had to clear my mind, figure out what to do. I grabbed my purse and started chucking things into it;wallet, phone, iPod. I grabbed my keys and left my room.
"Hey dad, I'm going out for a drive. I'll be back later."
"Where are you going Bella? It's late." Charlie asked. I took a lance at the clock, it was ten o'clock. Shit, where was I going? I didn't even know... Then I thought of a genius plan.
"Well, I have to go out and get some tampons and my cramps are bad so I might pick up some-"
"That's fine! Take your time! See you, bye." Charlie stammered.
Just like a true guy, my plan worked perfectly, even under the circumstances I smirked.
"Bye Charlie." I said and headed towards the door.
"Stay out of the forest Bella!" Was the last thing I heard as I slammed the door behind me. I walked down the steps and walked over to my car. Getting in I was face with a dilemma, now where was I actually supposed to go? I would drive around aimlessly but that plan didn't work out so well last time. I decided I was just going to hit the highway and let out some steam. As long as I stayed as far away as possible from the back roads I would be okay. I would figure out what to do then. I pulled out onto the street and turned my music up. Letting the music distract my mind, I just drove. I didn't focus on where I was driving I just went and before I knew it I was seeing the "Welcome to Port Angeles" sign. Shrugging, I pulled into the turn off. After driving through the town for a couple of minutes I pulled into the move theaters parking lot and sat there debating on what to see...
Piranha... Hell no, I could not sit through a scary movie. The Expendables, The Other Guys, The Switch, Eat Pray Love. Or maybe I could see Vampires Suck... I checked the times and grabbed my phone leaving Charlie a message.
"Hey Dad, it's me Bella. I decided that I was gonna catch a movie before I head home, hope you don't mind. Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll be home later. Bye."
I went up to the window and bought my ticket to Vampires Suck and a bag of popcorn. I walked into the theater and sat in the very back left corner. I always sit in the very back left corner no matter which theater I go to.
During the whole movie this guy sitting besides me kept on trying to hit on me. Trying being the key word here, he just could not take the hint that I wasn't remotely interested. I missed about half the movies trying to get him to leave me alone! Finally when the movie was over I got up, grabbed my stuff and left, storming off as fast as I could. However, the stupid jerk started to follow me to my car! What a creep!
"Yeah, so I know you dig me. When do you wanna do this again babe." he said stepping closer to me.
"Okay, gross. I don't like you. If you had any brain what-so-ever you would've gotten that the first time I told you to shut the hell up. This will never happen again, 'this' isn't even a thing!" I yelled getting angry.
He stepped closer to me making me have to strain my neck to look at him. Dammit, he was really tall. Why did I have to be so damn short?
"You know you like me. Come on babe, just admit it. You know you wanna." He took his hand and started rubbing my cheek. Oh hell to the fuck no. He is not about to touch me. I pulled my hand back and slapped him across his face. He jumped back startled. Literally jumping at the chance I kneed him in the groin.
"Stay the hell away from me creep!" I snarled.
"You fucking bitch." he yelled at me, "You're going to regret that!"
He started towards me and grabbed my throat. Staying far enough away from me that I couldn't kick him again. I started punching everything I could reach. Screaming my head off, trying to attract someone.
"LET GO OF ME!" I yelled struggling against him grip.
"But then, how would I teach you a lesson?"
I saw him left him up his hand and I shut my eyes, beginning to freak out. My big mouth got me into trouble, again. God, why did I park in the darkest corner of the parking lot where no one else parked? I'm so stupid! I felt his hand hit my cheek and his had around my neck tightened.
Then his hand disappeared altogether. Wait, what? Did I just pass out or something? I couldn't have, I could still feel the cold concrete underneath my cheek. I slowly opened my my eyes and saw some guy standing over a body. I turned onto my side to see who it was and let out a whimper of pain, damn I fell to the ground hard. Suddenly, after a flash of movement Edward Cullen was standing over me. What? I looked up at him curiously, wondering what he was doing here. I could see the fear and worry in his eyes.
"Are you okay? Oh god, that was a stupid question, of course you aren't!" he ran his fingers through his hair, "Are you going to be okay? Where does it hurt? Where did he hurt you?" Edward growled.
"I... I'm fine." I said, stunned, why was he here? … How did he get here from there so quickly? He was standing over ten feet away yet he got here in less that a second? "I'll be fine, I just have to get home." To figure out what the hell was going on. I slowly stood up and tried to walk around to my car door, but of course I tripped over my own feet.
"You are not fine Bella. You're coming with me, I am going to take you back to Forks and get you to the hospital."
"What! No, I'm fine. Trust me, I am just clumsy! Plus it's after midnight, I just need to get home." I exclaimed. "I will be fine," I said to his skeptical look, "Will he...?" I pointed over to the guy on the ground.
"Oh yeah, he'll regain consciousness in a half an hour or so."
I walked over to the guy nodding my head and shrugging Edward's hand off my shoulder when he tried to hold me back. I walked up next to the disgusting body of this creep and kicked him with all my might in the groin, again. I heard him groan even while he was unconscious. I know he will feel that when he wakes up I thought happily. Turning around to walk back to my car I saw Edward trying his very hardest not to laugh but failing miserably. I cracked a smile and walked over to my car, opening the door.
"Well thanks for helping me back there." I said, "I really appreciate it."
"What do you think you are doing?" Edward asked me.
"Getting into my car to drive home?" I responded.
"I don't think so, you are not driving home! You just got attacked! Then you tripped when you tried to get up! You are not in any state to drive back to Forks!" Edward said.
"Excuse me! I told you that I am clumsy, I'm fine!" I said angrily, my temper flaring.
"Look Bella, don't get angry. I just don't want you driving home alone. You fell onto the ground pretty hard! What if you hit your head and you have a concussion! What if on the way home you black out, or lose control of your car and end up on the side of the road!" Edward exclaimed, he was getting hysterical!
"Fine, if you don't want me driving home alone, hop in."
"What? I meant, I drive you home." Edward said dumbfounded.
"Nope, sorry bud. This is the only way it's going to work out." I smirked watching Edward contemplate my plan.
"Fine..."
I finally got into my car and unlocked the doors. He got in and put on his seat belt. I buckled up too and left the music off for first time I've ever been in my car I think. Weird... We pretty much rambled about random things on the drive back to Forks; school, music. I was really surprised when I found out that he played piano. I think that makes him even hotter, if that's possible.
"Okay, so how do I get your house?" I asked when we finally drove past the city line.
"It's a little outside of town, take this road coming up." he said.
After driving down this long windy road for awhile he finally stopped me and pointed out a driveway in between the trees, how the hell he could see that I am not sure. I could barely see it even after he pointed it out! Then, we started driving down his huge ass driveway! It was more like a road, finally the trees parted and I pulled up in front of his house.
It. Was. Beautiful! I just stared.
"You house is amazing!" I exclaimed.
"Thank you, I'll be sure to tell Esme you think so."
"Esme...?" I asked.
"My... mother."
"Oh, okay." I said, he wasn't making any move to get out of my car so I took my chance. "What are you doing tomorrow?"
"Pardon?" he said.
Oh god, I had to repeat this? I took a deep breath and repeated myself, "I said, what are you doing tomorrow? We could like do something you know?"
"I don't think that's a very good idea Bella." said Edward.
I never thought that one sentence could hurt that much, I felt like burying myself in a hole for the rest of my life. Of course I didn't let any of that show on my face. "Why not? Come one, I gotta thank you for saving my life back there. It's the least I can do." I said, not letting my true intentions show through.
"No, it's okay. What else was I supposed to do? Just let him hurt you like that. I don't think so." said Edward. His fists were clenched into tight balls on his lap, his knuckles turning white.
"Edward, chill. It's fine now. What happened happened. I am fine now. Thanks to you! I just wanted to thank you." I said, he hands loosened a little bit.
"I guess," he looked over at his house. "I should be getting in."
"Yeah." I said. He still wasn't making a move towards the door though. I reached over and put my hand on his forearm. Edward, are you sure your okay?: I asked worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be." he asked.
"I dunno, you were just looking a little down."
He finally reached over and opened up the door.
"Have a good night Edward." I said with a smile, then sparing a glance at the clock. "Or what's left of it." I said with a laugh.
"You too Bella. Stay safe." Edward said with a smile. Oh god that smile, it nearly made my heart stop. He looked so beautiful smiling instead of that grimace he usually wore.
"Aren't I always safe?" I said with a wink. He just looked at me shaking his head and rolled his eyes. He closed my car door and I drove away. Looking in my rear view mirror, I saw him still there watching me drive away. I smiled and kept smiling the whole drive home. It wasn't until I had gotten home, was in my bed, head on the pillow that the happiness wore off and the questions started coming. Who was that guy at the movie theater? How the hell did Edward get there? Did he randomly pop out of a bush? Something was off about this whole situation. Something was off about Edward in general and I am determined to figure out what.
So were you guys imagining what was going through the Cullen's minds when they heard Bella and Edward's little convo outside of the house? Because I totally was! :P Review please. :) It will turn my day around!
