A/n: Most of you have figured out that he hasn't quite hit rock bottom yet...I'm just warning you now, the next 2-4 chapters are full of alot of abuse...hurt...pain...be warned now. This is only the beginning.

BUT, please, for the love of all that's holy remember that I promised you an HEA...

I know ALL of you are jonesing for what is going on...what's in the box...what hold she has on him...I swear to you...within the next 8 chapters you will find out some of it...Help is on the way, just remember that. I love that all of you have become so passionate about this story. That means so much to me. I love that, while I might make you cry or cringe, I have touched you in a way that you'd do whatever it takes to rescue Edward.

*sighs* I wish I could tell you the ending, LOL, but that'd ruin the whole story now wouldn't it:)

On with the show...

Please Rescue Me ch13

I stared at my phone, I had four texts and three missed calls from Tanya.

Fuck.

She's going to have my ass, I thought as I started to scroll through her texts.

I want dinner early tonight, pasta and salad, pick up some red wine, too.

Why haven't you confirmed what I just told you?

Where the fuck are you, Edward? I just called the office, they said you weren't in.

WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU, ASSHOLE? IF YOU ARE OUT SOMEWHERE WITH THAT SLUT, I WILL FIND OUT!

The phone vibrated in my hand, the screen read "Tanya" and I sighed before I answered it.

"Yes." My voice was shaky and weak.

"JUST WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN? HOW DARE YOU THINK YOU CAN IGNORE ME! GET YOUR SORRY WEAK ASS HOME, NOW!" and then the line went dead. I sat there for a few minutes as I tried to contemplate my options. There really were no options so I focused on what story I could come up with.

I had nothing but Bella's voice ringing in my ears, "I have training, I can help you."

I remembered the warmth of her hand on my cheek and it made me want to cry with the tenderness in which she touched me. That's what love is supposed to feel like, isn't it?

I felt the tears flowing down my cheeks and I knew that I had to do something. I had to figure out a way to get away from Tanya, but could I really trust Bella? Could she really be my saving grace?

I let my mind go over ideas and thoughts of escape as I drove the short distance home. Nothing was coherent. My mind was almost in a tailspin of preparations for the battle zone I knew that I was about to walk into.

I pulled into the driveway, shut off my car and sat there, my body hesitant to leave the confines of my car. My mind screamed at me to drive away, never look back but my heart beat with the thoughts of pain that I would cause my family, how could I let her destroy them?

With an overwhelming sense of heaviness, I opened the car door and got out. I trudged my way to the door, it flew open on my approach and I heard her voice before I saw her. "Get your motherfucking, sorry, no-good ass in this house, NOW!"

The last thing I remember is that the door slammed behind me and the pain as something hit me over the head.
