Epov
The lights went out.
The lights went out?
My life officially sucks at this moment. I set down the phone and roamed over to my couch and collapsed on top of it.
"DU DU DUNA NA DU DU."
Startled I looked over at my door. Who would it be at this hour of my miserable life? Jasper was with his love, and Emmett with his...and me? I was alone in my apartment..well was alone now I probably had a mass murder who wanted to join my pity party.
I slowly moved towards the door. I probably looked ridiculous, staking like a cat towards my own door in plaid pajama bottoms and no shirt.
I opened the door and there stood a large, no massive wet creature standing at my door! Wait! A large? No massive wet creature?
"Edward?" It speaks! "Can I please come in, its pouring rain out here!"
"Oh! Ummmm, sure?"
The creatures moved in and shook the rain off and then slowly pealed off its layers.
"Bella?"
"Ya."
"What are you doing here?"
"What do you mean what am I doing here? We had a date remember?"
"Ya I remember...but you canceled."
"I never canceled! You hung up before I had finished talking."
I groaned, "I had finished talking Bella! I.."
"Edward, wait..."
"NO! Its my turn to talk Bella! You asked me to tell you to not go, that I cared for you and only you. Bella if I need to tell you that I care for you and only you then this relationship is going no where. I don't want to be one of those guys. Those guys who give you restrictions, demands and are ranging with jealously. I want you to look at me and know with your heart that I am the guy you want to date, that you know that I care for you and respect your decisions. This relation ship..if this is a relationship is about us, Bella, Us!" Desperation for her to understand was rolling off my body.
She stared at her feet, a blush across her face.
"Bella...we in the beginning stages of this relationship...even though its felt like a lifetime together. Sometimes you scare me. You change from this funny, amazing, beautiful woman to this insecure, angry, troubled person who I don't know. For us to work..you need to trust yourself and your decisions. I know that you and your dad.."
Her head snapped up and anger clouded her features, "Don't you dare bring him into this!"
"This isn't about us is it? Its about him! Are you expecting me to be like him or something? Abusing and loving you at the same time? I'm not like him Bella!"
She stepped towards me, "I said don't bring him into this!"
"Bella! " I stepped towards her just as angry, "I will bring him into this..or would you rather I bring Parker into this?"
She turned her head away from me.
"Fine! I will bring both of them into this! How could you call and ask me if going out with another guy is ok? How? How did you think I would react, huh Bella? I care for you but we...WE...haven't been on a real date yet! Then this guy appears out of the blue and I am shoved out of the way for the new catch. If that is how it is going to be than this will never work!"
"New catch? I have known him since I was a little kid!" I shut my mouth..not wanting to hurt her.
Her eyes narrowed, "What?"
"He just noticed you now? Never talked to you before? Just suddenly when you are beautiful."
She staggered back, with a haunted and crushed expression, "I Like to believe that Men like me for my personality not my looks!"
"Which one? The wounded or the smart ass...sometimes I think you have split personality."
SMACK! Bella swung her arm and slapped me across the face.
"You know nothing about me, my life my family or anything for that matter! You talk about not being jealous, well pal that boat just set sail!"
Her words hit me like a bucket of ice.
What was wrong with me? I never yelled at women or purposely made comments to hurt them.
I was frozen. From the time I met this woman, I had sent her to jail twice, got myself fired, scared people on elevators and insulted her.
I had completely changed in a month and I'm not sure if this was the best decision.
"What? Nothing to say." Bella stood there fuming.
I glanced up at her, "Your right."
She tilted her head to the side confused, "What?"
"I know nothing about you, or your family or anything. I am jealous and I have no right to be. I am sorry Isabella Swan."
Her anger had melted away and she stood there in a daze.
"You should go." She jumped startled out of her daze, "What?"
"We don't know each other and we are yelling and fighting and how can this work if we haven't even dated and were fighting." I turned away and walked in my kitchen. I heard her wet shoes squeak across the floor following me.
"Edward! It will work, we will make it work!"
"How can you say that?"
"I trust in us...I never went out with Parker. I was starstruck by his offer. Because you dream of your crush asking you out..and then if it happens you freak out and think your dreaming and waiting for something to happen to wake you up."
My eyebrow involuntarily raised up.
"Edward...I stayed at home...asking myself all the questions and problems that we just covered. I just snapped when you brought them up. You do know me, and my life and what ever is left of my family. We shared Lord of the rings together...and the fellowships made with the LOTR never break." She smile and I laughed.
"I wan't us to work Edward."
"So do I."
We stared at each other in the darkness.
"Sooo...are you hungry?"
Bella laughed and smiled, "Starved."
Bpov
The front door slammed.
"BELLA! Where the hell are you? Where is my dinner?"
I heard his voice from downstairs and cowered. I hadn't made dinner...again.
Then I realized, he had been drinking... again.
I crawled under my bead and covered my mouth smothering any sounds. I winced as I brushed my bruised abdomen on my wood floor. Yesterdays beatings had been worse then normal. I was running late because my car broke down and didn't make dinner then either.
I heard the creek of the stairs as he made his way to my room. I shut my eyes and prayed...prayed for there to be a God out there to help and save me.
I heard the door swing open and shoes slowly march around my room. The closet doors slid open and then , "I know your in here Bella." My blood ran cold. He knew. His feet slowly slid across the room in front of where my head was resting and I heard a drunken, slurred, "Gotcha."
My Screams echoed around the room. I was sweating and sobs shook my body. Edward sat next to me, holding on to my body as I cried.
He kept murmuring, "Your fine, your safe...its just a dream." But I knew that it was never just a dream. It was the harsh reality. All my dreams happened and they haunted me. All men had a switch. A switch that was triggered by something. For my father it had been alcohol.
For Edward...it seemed to be me.
I feared that switch. It was the switch between life and death. Between good and evil.
Between love and hate.
For Edward the switch was triggered by love...love for me.
For my father the switch had also been triggered by love...love my mother.
The love that nearly killed me.
People say that love is the greatest thing on earth.
So why does the greatest thing on earth...want to kill me?
"Shush Bella, go back to sleep. I'm here. There is no need to worry."
I closed my eyes.
He smacked me across the face.
"Never forget Bella! I am here...and I come first...that's all you ever have to worry about if you want to live!"
Edward rubbed my back. I leaned into him and hoped that somehow, someday all it would be was a dream.
