"Wake up! Wake up!" A voice shouted from outside our hotel door. Bella grumbled and turned over trying to bury her head in the pillow. The pounding and yelling on the door increased and I got up angrily to answer it.

"What the hell do you want Riley?" I seethed. He grinned and held up a bag of food.

"Rise and shine lovely, we need to get moving. I decided, being the nice person I am, to get you and your girlfriend some breakfast from the Starbucks a few blocks away. There are some little pastries in here and I am bribing you with a coffee outside. Get ready in the next ten minutes and you'll have it" He grinned and went into his room.

Deciding I need my coffee I woke Bella in a hastily fashion and we changed, put all the stuff we were using in the bags, and I waited an extra ten minutes for Bella to change out of her glasses and put on her makeup. In my opinion she didn't need it, she was beautiful the way she was but even if I told her that I knew she wouldn't listen.

"Okay let's go!" She announced taking her bag and opening the door for us. She didn't take very long and I noticed she only changed clothes, put in her contacts, and added a small amount of makeup. She said it made her 'seem human'. I called out bullshit and said she didn't need it. She blushed at my comment and the conversation ended.

"Alright, here is your breakfast now eat up" Riley said when we met him in the lobby. He threw the bag of food at me and Bella opened it to see two breakfast sandwiches inside. He handed Bella and I coffees which we got eagerly and we burned our tongues from the big gulps.

"Okay what are we doing next?" I asked as Bella clutched her coffee. Riley grinned and nodded over to the entrance of the hotel.

"We are hitting the road to Montana so we can speak of where to go from here. Please try and stay behind me on the road, I really don't want to lose you two because then it wastes the time that we can't afford to lose" He answered. We quickly checked out and Riley clipped a small piece of metal onto my jacket and another one on Bella's jeans.

"This is a small tracker for you two in case we get lost. Hopefully it doesn't happen, but you know they're just extra precautions we need to take. Also, in case someone from the goddamn cult tries to know, pull something then we know where you are and in case that does happen I want you to stuff it down your pants or something. In your underwear or shit. I don't know, put it somewhere." Rile said getting into his car and starting to revv it up. I noticed Bella tense up after he left and she stayed quiet as we packed up.

"Bella are you okay?" I asked. She looked up and nodded with a soft smile.

"I'm fine" She said quietly and put our bag of food in the front zipper of her bag. She hopped on the bike and patted the space in front of her. I gave her a look and she climbed down and leaned against the bike when I kicked down the stand.

"No I'm not getting on until you tell me what's wrong" I told her. She sighed and looked to me.

"Edward I'm scared" She said and looked at me with sad eyes. I frowned and stood between her legs looking into her eyes.

"Why?" I asked softly. She looked down at her shoes and I played with her hands.

"What Riley told us is getting serious, and I don't know what's going to happen on the way to Montana. James's minions could come and attack us, or he might come for you himself. I'm scared for you Edward" She cried and hot tears trailed down her face. My hand reached up and brushed the tears from her cheeks and tucked her hair behind her ear.

"Bella I promise you I won't let anything happen to you, and I know Bree or Riley wouldn't either. I promise you I will let anything happen" I vowed putting my arms around her waist. She looked back into my eyes and put her hand on my cheek.

"Okay" She said. I smiled and hugged her tightly. She leaned into my embrace and calmed down.

"Are you okay to go now?" I asked in her ear. She nodded and gave me a soft smile.

"Yes now let's go" She said anxiously and hopped onto the bike. I chuckled and leaned into her face and lightly brushed my lips across hers.

"I can tell riley is getting mad so I'm going to go"

The ride to Montana wasn't anything exciting. Bella and I followed Riley's car-it wasn't hard to miss with his neon car stickers saying 'HONK IF YOU THINK THIS HOT PIECE OF ASS ISN'T MARRIED' and 'TOO BAD BECAUSE HE IS'- and I had a feeling Bree probably put that there. Bella customized a playlist of songs that we both enjoy and can endure for the road trips we have been. Ed Sheeran was on and her arms tightened around my waist. I chuckled and knocked my head back against her helmet softly. I could feel her giggle and she leaned her head against my back.

It felt like we were on the road forever until Riley took the exit into a dinky little town and he pulled up to a little diner.

"I swear he's trying to make me fat" Bella muttered as I put up the kick stand and took our helmets off.

"Oh Bella you're not fat, you could never" I assured her. She sighed and we walked into the small diner with Riley.

"Okay we're halfway there guys. I called Bree and told her we might be in later this evening. She's excited to see you again" He said. I nodded.

"I don't remember much, but I'm anxious to see her again." I revealed. He nodded.

"Don't worry about it, she's got everything under control" Riley said. I took a deep and nodded.

"I hope so" I said. We drank our waters silently and Bella looked to Riley with a curious gaze.

"Riley" She said interested playing with her straw. Riley looked up from his phone and looked to Bella with an amused expression.

"Bella" He mocked. She rolled her eyes and he laughed.

"Yes?" He asked.

"If you knew what was happening with Carlisle and Esme, and when the whole James ordeal finally happened why didn't you take Edward with you instead of letting WPP have him?" She asked. It was a good and logical question. I was curious to hear his answer and he licked his lips and leaned back in his chair.

"At the time, I didn't know how serious James was. I thought he was just trying to scare us all and try to look tougher by using threats. No one took him seriously until we saw him building an army of sorts. I was figuring out ways to keep us all safe and how to handle this. To be honest I never thought WPP would come and get you; never in a million years. When it happened it was like a piece of my family was ripped away. Carlisle and Esme were gone and you were gone. It was hard" Riley said quietly. Bella looked to Riley with a soft expression and she gave him an encouraging smile. I grasped her hand and she gave me the same smile.

"It was random too. One day you were here, and the next people were telling us you were kidnapped. It was totally unexpected and if I knew that was happening I would have talked to WPP and had all three of us put in" Riley said. I nodded.

"I understand" I said. He gave me a relieved smile.

"How'd you find me?" I asked. He grinned.

"Bree isn't only a beauty but she's got the brains too. She did a lot of investigating with some guys she met in New York where we were staying for a few months. She found out that weren't indeed kidnapped but staying with agents from WPP. We were looking over you from a standpoint and when you left we knew you were unprotected so she set me out to find you. I don't know how she did, but she did" He sighed with a smile. I rolled my eyes and Bella giggled at him and hugged my arm to her tightly and held her head to my shoulder.

"Are you guys together or what? You're always touchy feely and flirting." Rile

"Are you guys together or what? You're always touchy feely and flirting." Riley said eying us. Bella blushed at that and looked to me as I looked to her.

"Um…" Bella said blushing furious shades of red and Riley laughed smugly at her.

"I think so" She said.

"Well I didn't mean to pry, but you need to get on that!" Riley said winking at me. I chuckled nervously and conversation stopped there.

"Well let's keep moving, we don't want James' men to follow us anymore than they probably already are" Riley said as he put cash on the table that covered enough for food and tip.

"When we arrive in Montana, can you please try and be as nice to Bree as possible." Riley said. I nodded. Of course I would; she helped raised me apparently.

We hopped on the bike after tightening everything to it and we followed Riley on the road. Bella's arms wrapped around my waist as usual but this time her fingers looped onto my belt loops of my jeans and she snuggled closer to me. I chuckled at her and wished so badly to give her a massive kiss.

I couldn't help of think of Riley's question at the table today. I kept hearing his voice in my head repeating the question and the warm feeling fluttered in me again. I glanced down to Bella's hands on my belt loops and a smile crept up on my face. What would it be like to be in a relationship with her? I already admitted I liked her, which was hard enough for me to do, but I couldn't put her through this. She was too good for this on the run lifestyle; too innocent. This would ruin her and I couldn't bear to think of her face when we saw James's men attack us again. She already broke down in tears when Riley shot the two men, how would she feel if she saw me shoot me them? That was a question I wouldn't dare to near. The thought of her fearing me was almost unbearable. In that moment it was decided that I would try my best to take care of her and protect her from James and his men.

It was late into the night, early morning when we finally arrived at the small house in a small residential area. Bella stared at the house before having a breakout smile and looking to me.

"This is going to be good for us. I'm happy Riley found us, for you" She said softly. My hand wandered up to her cheek and I brushed my thumb over her cheek bone.

"Me too, baby me too. It's nice having someone from my real life be there for me opposed to the one I was thrown into" I told her. She brushed my hair from my forehead and cocked her head.

"Do you miss it? Back in Forks?" She asked. I sighed.

"Surprisingly yes. I miss Emmett, I miss Jasper, and I know I said a lot of shit about Eleazar and Carmen, but I miss them too. I took them for granted and if I had the chance to see them again then I would apologize a million times over and spend my life making it up to them. They didn't have to take me in; they wanted to" I answered and she put her hand on my cheek.

"Well, then let's go catch those fuckers who took your life away from you in the first place" She said. I almost moaned. Hearing her curse did unbelievable things to me and before I knew what I was doing I knotted my hands into the back of her hair and pulled her to me for a kiss. She gasped in my mouth but moaned and her tongue ran on my bottom lip prying it open as her tongue began to massage mine.

"Not together my ass!" An annoyed grumbled voice said and I heard a gasp. Bella and I broke apart as soon as Riley spoke and Bella was blushing even harder than earlier.

"Oh shit" I said quietly and turned to look at Riley with a woman I recognized at Bree. She was staring at me with a shocked look on her face and she started crying. I looked to Bella and she nodded her head to Bree and I got off the bike and faced her. The memories and emotions hit me like a ton of a bricks and I felt my eyes prickling.

"Hey Bree" I said thickly. She let out a breath and gave a happy chuckle before sprinting over to me and throwing herself in my arms. She cried in my neck and I hugged her tight. She still smelled the same from when I last saw her and it triggered my memory and I felt home.

"I can't believe you're here" She said softly. I pulled back and her blue eyes shone with tears.

"Don't cry" I told her. She laughed and wiped her arms and sniffled at me.

"They're tears of happiness Edward, I've missed you so much little man" She said and started crying more.

"I'm not that little anymore" I told her softly and she smiled at me.

"I know; you're a grown man. You have stubble" She chuckled and felt my rough jaw.

"I'm happy you're here" She said and I nodded.

"Me too. This is Bella, Bella this is my Aunt Bree" I Said. Bree and Riley whipped to me and their eyes wide.

"You remember that?" Riley asked and I nodded.

"Yeah I guess I do. It just flowed out of my mouth like I meant to say it" I said. Riley grinned from where he was standing.

"It's nice to finally meet you" Bella said with a happy smile on her face. Bree hugged her tight and Bella's stomach growled.

"Let's get you something to eat" Bree said and took Bella's hand and lead her inside the house.

"I'm glad you remembered that Edward. You probably just mad her life right there" Riley chuckled. I shrugged at him and looked to my shoes.

"It just came out Riley, just out of nowhere. I'm glad it made her happy though" I mused.

"She's waited years for this to happen, Edward. Just humor her please, you have no idea how much this means to her" Riley told me seriously. I nodded.

"Of course"

"Now let's go work on catching these fuckers" Riley grinned and led me into the small house.

I SUCK. I KNOW. It's a long awaited chapter and I know it's short, but bear with me here. It's getting to the fun part now!

HOW'S EVERYONE'S SUMMER?!

DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW!

XOXO Lizzy
