Ch. 15 Gone
Bella's POV
Previously on Moonlight:
I yawned tired.
"You're tired love, you should go sleep." Edward said sweetly.
"You're probably right." I said sleepily.
"Go inside. Is it okay if we talk tomorrow?" He said sounding nervous.
"Um sure…What time?" I asked wondering what he wanted to talk about.
"Noon?" he asked unsure.
"Sound good." I said with a yawn.
He chuckled, "Goodnight love." He said kissing my forehead.
I sighed and stood on my tippy toes to kiss him on the lips softly.
He kissed me back, but soon pulled away.
"See you tomorrow love." He said giving me his crooked smile.
I smiled back and walked inside and upstairs to my room.
Beside all the Jacob and Mike craziness, I still had a good night. I thought as I took a shower.
Once I was done I put on my pajamas and brushed my teeth then headed to bed.
I wonder what Edward wanted to talk about that made him all nervous. I guess I would find out tomorrow.
Why did I have a feeling that something bad was going to happen?
Bella's POV
I opened my eyes and the first thing I see is brightness. I groaned and closed my eyes again and rolled over to the side not wanting to get up yet.
I reached out to my bedside table for my phone to check the time. Once I found it, I brought my phone up to my face and saw that it was eleven.
"Crap!" I said and got out bed quickly.
Edward was going to be here in an hour and I wasn't even ready!
I took a quick shower and blow dried my hair. I ran back to my room and into my closet and grabbed the first thing I saw. It was a gray tank top and some dark skinny jeans and my converse, I grabbed my sweater too and ran downstairs to eat breakfast real quick.
"Look who decided to get up?" Vivian said smirking at me.
I looked over at her where she was standing by the stove making food.
I rolled my eyes at her.
"You could have waken me up you know."
She ignored my comment and handed me a plate of eggs with bacon on the side. "Here eat up so I can put on a little eyeliner on you."
"Thanks." I said gratefully.
"No problem that's what sisters are for." She said smiling at me.
I smiled back and sat down on the table where there was a glass of orange juice which I assumed was for me. If it wasn't for me, well too bad cause I was taking it.
Vivian left the kitchen which left me thinking about what Edward wanted to talk about. Was he mad at me or something?
Vivian came back with the eyeliner which interrupted my thoughts.
"So where are you guys going?"
"I'm not sure he didn't say."
"Well I'm sure he'll take you to a special." Vivian said winking at me.
"I know what you're thinking and let me tell you it's nothing like that you perve!"
She rolled her eyes, "Uh huh sure! You don't have to lie to me Bella."
"Oh my gosh! You know we haven't done it yet!" I said starting to get pissed off.
"Well you have to do it sometime! And what if that day is today?" she persisted.
"You know what? I'm done with you Vivian!" I said angrily.
I got up and took my dishes with me and starting washing them, ignoring Vivian.
"Aw c'mon Bella! I didn't mean to piss you off! I was just joking!" she said hugging me from behind. "Please forgive me Bellarina."
This was pretty funny; I should let her suffer a while longer.
"I don't know..." I said trying to sound indifferent. It was taking everything in me to not turn around and hug her back and crack up at the same time.
"Please Bella! I am so sorry!"
I pulled away from her walking out the kitchen fighting a smile the whole time.
I heard her running behind me.
"Bella c'mon! I'll do anything just stop being mad at me!" She begged as I went into the living room and sat down on the couch and turned the TV on. I rested my feet on top of the coffee table and continued ignoring her. This was pretty hilarious, but I decided it was time I should just forgive her.
I turned over to her and smiled at her.
"You bitch!" She said grabbing a throw pillow off the couch and throwing it at me. "You like making me feel bad don't you?" She said accusingly as I sat there laughing my butt off.
All of a sudden she attacked me, which made us fall off the couch and land on the carpet.
"Ow!" We both said in pain.
"What the hell was that for?" I demanded.
"That's for making me feel bad!" She said angrily while getting up off me.
Once she was up she reached down to me offering her hand to help me up. I took it and we were now both on our feet.
I looked at Vivian, "I'm sorry for making you feel bad, but that's what you get for pissing me off."
"Now, now, who's pissing who off?" Anne asked coming into the living room.
"Vivian likes to be a pain in the butt sometimes." I said.
"Sometimes?" Anne asked skeptically.
"Ha ha! Very funny Anne..." Vivian said sarcastically.
"You know I love you V." Anne said lovingly.
"Duh! Everyone loves me!" She said playfully.
I snorted and she looked at me with a, you better shut up look.
"Where's Victoria?" I asked, noticing her absence.
"She told me she was going to the mall, then to the grocery store to pick up a few things, so she should be back soon." Anne said.
"Oh, ok then…" I said and there was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it..." I said as I got up. I smiled at them as I went to get to the door.
When I opened it, Edward was standing there looking like a Greek God. My eyes started at his feet and went slowly up his gorgeous body. He was wearing black pants and a navy blue hoodie. This man could wear anything and look like a Greek God. His lips were curved up into that beautiful crooked smile that I love so much. I saved his eyes for last because I knew that once I looked into them, I would get lost in them. They were a really light golden brown today I guess he went hunting. A smile started forming on my lips in happiness of being reunited. It seemed like forever since we were together, but in reality we hadn't seen each other since last night.
"Good afternoon beautiful." Edward said in his musical voice, his hand reaching to touch my cheek gently. I leaned my face into his cold hand.
"Hey…" was all I was able to respond.
He chuckled, "Are you ready to go?"
"Um yeah I think so." I said pulling away from his touch even though I didn't want to.
"Come with me to get my sweater and to say bye to the girls." I said grabbing his hands and pulling him with me towards the living room.
"Ok."
"Hey Edward!" Vivian said excitedly.
I rolled my eyes and let go of Edward's hand to go get my sweater off the couch.
"Hello Vivian. Hello Anne." Edward greeted them politely.
"Hi Edward, how are you?" Anne asked politely as well.
"Good thank you, how about you?"
"Good as well…" She said smiling.
"So Edward, where are you taking Bella?" Vivian asked.
"Vivian!" Anne tsked.
"What?" Vivian asked innocently.
"It's okay Anne and I was just going to take Bella hiking again."
Oh well that's good, I dressed appropriately then.
"Oh, well make sure Bella doesn't fall and kill herself." Vivian said teasingly.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm clumsy we get it." I said which made them all chuckle.
"Okay we should get going then, see you girls later." Edward said flashing them his crooked smiled which I could tell made their hearts stops as much as it had that effect on me.
"Y-yeah…see ya…" Anne said in a shaky voice.
I grabbed Edward's hand and let him outside.
"Bye!" I yelled.
"Nice job giving them a heart attack." I said sarcastically.
He chuckled, "Not my fault."
I looked over at him and I saw him smiling at me. I stared at his lips wanting to kiss him so badly. God why did he have such effect on me?
He could sense what I wanted because he soon had his cold lips on mine. He was gentle, trying not to hurt me. I wish he wasn't so gentle on me all the time. We kept kissing and I was starting to need air and I'm sure he could sense that because he soon pulled away and laid his forehead on mine. My breathing was coming out in pants, it was embarrassing.
He wore a smile on his face when he pulled back.
"As much as I would love the spent the whole day doing that, we should really get going. We need to talk." He said in a more serious tone. This could not be good.
"Um yeah…"
We walked towards his Volvo and he helped me in. He soon was at his side of the door and started driving towards the meadow.
"You're awfully quiet today, why is that?" Edward asked with concern in his voice.
"Well, so are you." I said back. I didn't want to tell him how I had a bad feeling about what he had to tell me.
He chuckled then got serious, "I'm sorry, I just have a lot in mind."
I sighed this couldn't be good.
"…like?" I persisted.
"Why don't we wait until we get to the meadow?" Edward asked as he reached over and held my hand in his.
"Okay then." I said looking out the window, while giving his hand a squeeze.
I looked up at him and smiled. My eyes drifted over at the speedometer and my eyes went wide.
"Are you trying to kill me?" I shrieked and grabbed onto the seat tightly.
"What are you talking about?" Edward asked looking over with panic in his eyes.
"Why in the world are you driving so fast?" I asked looking at the speedometer again which read 120 mph.
I looked back at him and the panic that had been in his eyes was gone. He just laughed and rolled his eyes at me.
"Bella, I'm not trying to kill you, why would I do such a thing? And I always drive this fast." He said calmly.
"Why do you always drive so fast?" I asked with a shaky voice, still holding onto the seat.
"Well it's a vampire thing I guess. We like the speed, the exhilaration." He said shrugging his shoulders.
"Oh…" was all I was able to say. Duh! Why was I so stupid? He ran like a bullet obviously he would like driving fast.
We soon arrived at the side of the road that led us to the meadow. He came around and opened my door and helped me out the car.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
"Yeah..." I lied and gave him a forced smile. I was scared of getting on his back again.
He could tell I was lying though.
"It's going to be okay Bella. I promise I won't hit a tree or anything." He said giving a wink. "Just close your eyes so you won't get dizzy."
He helped me get on his back, I clung to him tightly and I closed my eyes. We were soon flying through the forest; I could hear the whooshing of the wind in my ears.
I soon felt him stop and felt him untying my arms from around his neck. I open my eyes then and he gently set me down. I looked around the meadow it was gorgeous; the purple flowers covering the ground and the sunlight. I sat down on the ground closing my eyes and enjoyed the sounds of nature. I soon felt Edward's hand in mine. I smiled and opened my eyes to see him sitting next to me. I looked into his eyes and it seemed like something was bothering him.
"Edward what's wrong? What did you want to talk about?" I asked worriedly.
He looked into my eyes and hesitated. "I… I know when I tell you this, you're going to get mad at me…" he said looking away.
Uh oh this cannot be good, I sighed.
"It's okay… just tell me I don't like seeing you like this." I lightly touched his cheek.
He looked back at me and grabbed the hand that was on his face. He smiled at me, but it was a sad smile.
He hesitated, "Bella… I…I…"
He was starting to worry me. "What Edward?"
He sighed, "Bella I think…that…"
I panicked, was he breaking up with me? My heart started beating fast.
"Bella what's wrong?" Edward asked in concern.
I shook my head, "Nothing, just please continue." I begged the suspense was killing me.
He nodded then sighed, "Just please try not getting mad; hear me out first…"He pleaded
"I'll try."
"Bella…I think…I think you should quit your job." Edward finally said, looking at me carefully.
I should have seen this coming. Of course, after what happened yesterday he would be worried.
I sighed, "Edward…" I began.
"Bella listen me first." He pleaded.
I nodded for him to continue.
"Yesterday you got attacked by Mike. He could have raped you if it wasn't for me being there…"
"But…" I began, but he cut me off.
"But what if one day I'm not there and that were to happen again? Huh? Who would save you, one of the girls? What if they weren't back there at the time?"
I understood what he was saying, but stuff like that never happened.
I grabbed his face and made him look for me, "Edward…" I took a deep breath and continued, "…stuff like that never happen, it was a one-time thing." I assured him.
He groaned in frustration, "Bella it takes one time! One time for something bad to happen!"
I sighed in frustration; he was really starting to piss me off. He was too overprotective.
"Well I can take care of myself!" I said angrily getting up and putting a distance between us.
He got up to and tried walking towards me, but I held my hand up for him to stop.
"Really? Because it doesn't seem like it!" he growled back.
I threw my hands up in frustration, "It was a one-time thing! Get over it!"
He flinched when I said that. I instantly regretted saying it, but I was too mad to apologize.
"Get over it huh?" He said in a broken voice.
I felt my eyes tearing up, but I couldn't cry now, not yet.
"Edward…" I took a shaky breath, "…you knew what you were getting yourself into when you decided to be in a relationship with me…" I said in what was almost a whisper.
I saw him walking towards me hesitantly.
"Bella…" His voice sounded pained, "I care about you way too much and the thought of someone hurting you is aggravating."
I wanted to hug him and kiss him so badly this instant, but I wanted to keep being mad at him a while longer.
"No one is going to hurt me…" I tried reassuring him.
He groaned in frustration and didn't say anything for while he just looked out in the distance.
After 5 minutes passed, I got tired of standing so I sat down right where I was standing. At my movement Edward looked back at me with pleading eyes. He slowly made his way over to me and sat down next me, keeping a distance which I appreciated.
"Please Bella, quit that job and go back to school and study to get a good career. One where you get paid good money for doing something that isn't dangerous or…wrong…"
My head snapped up to meet his gaze. "Wrong?" I shrieked.
"Bella please don't get mad…" He pleaded.
I got back up in frustration and started pacing back and forth.
Who did he think he was trying to tell me what to do? Nobody told me what to do! I would not go through that again… So my job was wrong? It was wrong for me to dance for men huh? So what? Was he calling me a slut then? He said I should get a career?
…a career? Hah! I wanted to laugh at that! I wasn't good at anything. Renee and Phil had made that clear to me… I wouldn't be able to do anything with my life…ever…I would always be this…a stripper… I had a knot in my throat…I was not going to cry, I wasn't going to let these things put me down, since this was my life.
"Well if you can't accept what I am…then…maybe we should break up…." My voice broke at the end. I didn't want to break up with him. He was everything to me. He was the best thing in my life, he made me see that not every man is an asshole as Phil had been…
"What?" Edward said in panic. "No! Bella I don't want to break up with you! I can't…I need you…" he said sounding desperate.
My heart fluttered at his words.
"But you can't accept what I do!"
"I'm sorry Bella, I'm not going to sit here and pretend it doesn't bother me that other men touch you, like that Jacob guy." He said his name with disgust.
"Jacob? Are you serious?" I asked. I was going to laugh at his silliness.
"Yes." He said looking down at his lap.
Man was he adorable.
I sat back down next to him and put my hands on his face making him look at me. I stared at him straight in the eyes.
"Edward…" I said slowly, "I like you and only you… Jacob and any other guy mean nothing to me. They are just clients…" I reassured him.
"Are you sure about that?" He asked doubtfully.
"I'm positive." I said leaning in to kiss him on the lips.
He kissed me back and wrapped him arms around my waist pulling me towards him. We kissed for a few more seconds and then he pulled away smiling at me and I smiled back at him.
We were done arguing for now, but I knew this wasn't over yet. He slowly and gently laid on the grass; taking me with him. I was lying on his hard chest in contentment; it was such a perfect moment even though we had just fought. I heard him sigh in contentment too and I felt him start playing with my hair with one hand and rubbing soothing circles on my arm. I shivered, but not at the coldness; it was all in pleasure. I wished this moment could last forever.
"I'm sorry for making you mad…" Edward mumbled after a while.
I lifted my head up to look him in the eye, "It's okay, let's just forget about that for now…"
We spent like an hour or so in the meadow just relaxing, but I was really missing the Cullen's so I asked him to take me to his house; he smiled at that. He liked that I got along with his family.
After talking to Esme for a while, Alice dragged me upstairs to be her Bella Barbie Doll. I was used to this because Anne and Vivian were just like this; well especially Vivian. I should have them hang out one day to see how they would act together… After she was done doing my makeup and doing my hair she made me try out lot of clothes and making me model them for everyone. I blushed a lot during the little fashion show. She said she needed to get ideas for a future project or something. Who knows what was going on in that devious little head of hers.
After the fashion show, Emmett begged me to play video games with him. I turned him down at first, but he literally got down on his knees and begged. It was really funny and hard to deny him. I kept beating him, which pissed him off and made him throw the control on the ground and stomp around like a little kid, saying how it was 'so unfair.' We were all laughing so hard at his silliness, which made him even madder.
"All you guys suck!" He said angrily.
"Emmett…it's just…that…you are…such…a child…sometimes…" Edward managed to say in between his laughter.
"Whatever." He said indifferently, crossing his arms like a stubborn kid. We all laughed even more at that. I had tears rolling down my face from laughing so much.
I wiped the tears and walked over to him putting my hand on his huge arm, still laughing.
"Oh c'mon Emmett…stop being…such a…baby…" I managed to say.
He just huffed in frustration.
"What can I do to for you to stop being mad?" I asked.
A wicked smile started spreading on his face, this could not be good.
"Well, now that you mention it…" He said wickedly.
"Oh god! Just tell me already!"
"Well... I got two requests."
"Shoot." I said unwillingly.
"Well first I want you to play me again, but let me win this time and secondly…I want you to give Rosalie stripper lessons." He said wagging his eyebrows at me.
"Emmett!" Esme, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, and Edward Scolded.
"What?" He asked innocently.
"Absolutely not!" Edward said angrily.
"Emmett, are you crazy?" Rosalie asked frustrated.
"Don't you want to have a more fun sexual experience? C'mon! It will be fun!" He said grinning at her all devilishly.
"No and that's final!" She said storming off.
"Aw c'mon babe!" He whined going after her, but before he left the room her turn back to me, "She loves the idea!"
I laughed at that.
It was starting to get late and I had to go to work in an hour.
"Edward? Can you take me home? I have to work in an hour."
"Sure no problem…Let's get going then." He said offering me his hand.
"Bella I'm glad you came to visit us, we really missed you." Esme said sweetly as she hugged me.
"Aw, well I missed you guys too, I couldn't stay away." I said giggling which made Esme giggle too.
"You better come back soon!" Alice demanded as she hugged me.
"Of course." I said giving her a reassuring smile.
"Bye Bella." Jasper said keeping his distance.
"Bye Jasper." I said smiling shyly at him.
"BYE BELLA! COME BACK FOR THE REMATCH AND LESSONS SOON!" Emmett yelled from somewhere upstairs.
We all snickered at that. Oh Emmett.
I said goodbye to everyone and Edward and I left.
"Thank you for bringing me with your family." I thanked Edward.
"No problem." He said with a smile and giving my hand a squeeze.
We were soon in my neighborhood and as we neared my house I saw two cop cars outside the house.
"What the hell happened?" I asked in panic.
I could feel it deep inside my chest that it wasn't good. My heart started beating really fast.
"Bella stay calm please." Edward pleaded as he parked across the street from the house.
We quickly got out and ran towards the house. I needed to know what was going on now.
As we got nearer I saw Anne crying and talking to Chief Swan and another cop.
I let go of Edward's hand and ran up to her.
"Anne what happened?" I said in a shaky voice. I knew what she was going to tell wasn't going to be good.
She looked at me with panic and depressed eyes.
"Bella…" Was all she said and crushed me into a hug. I hugged her back as she sobbed into my shoulder.
I looked at Chief Swan and he gave me a sympathetic smile. Edward was standing right next to him and looked really sad and shocked. Of course he knew what was going on since he could read minds.
"Bella?" I heard Vivian ask in a shaky voice. I turned around to see her at the doorway. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying. She also had tears rolling down her cheeks.
"What happened Vivian?" I asked in desperation.
"Bella…Victoria…" She sobbed.
I felt the blood drain from my face.
"What happened to her?" I said in panic.
"She's gone…" She said in a lifeless voice.
Anne sobbed even more on my shoulder.
"What…what do you mean… she's gone?" I said in a shaky voice.
Charlie took over from there, "She's missing, there is no trace of where she could be or what happened for sure, but from what it looks like she was kidnapped…"
"No! No, no, no!" I yelled in denial. I let go of Anne because my body started shaking like crazy.
"Bella, take deep breathes please…" Edward said commandingly. I felt his cool arms around me.
He was saying more things but I couldn't hear anymore. Everything sounded far away.
Victoria…Why? Why would something like this happen to her? She didn't deserve this! What would I do without her? I always called her my sister, but right now I realized she was more than that. She was a mother to me. Like the mother I never had… I couldn't lose her I just couldn't…
"She's having a panic attack! Let's take her to the hospital!" I heard someone yell.
I couldn't tell who because everything sounded so far away.
"Let's go! I'll call Carlisle so he'll be ready when we get there." I heard another voice say in an urgent/ panicky tone.
It was starting to sound more distant now, which I didn't think possible.
"Bella, love, please stay with me…" Were the last words I heard, when the darkness took over…
She was gone…
Dun dun dun! :o lol Victoria is gone! what will happen! will they find her? give me ur predictions as to what u guys think happened to her or will happen!
