Chapter Nine: We Have to Find Them Part One

"She left because you were abusing her!" I snapped.

"She left because he opened his mouth and told her that I was abusing him!" Jim snapped back.

"Do you even hear yourself?!" Rosalie screamed.

"I never asked your opinion Blondie!" He yelled.

If Rosalie wasn't tied up, she would scratch his eyes out right now.

"Anyway, it was his fault that his mother left." He said.

"Where is she now?" I asked.

"She died a few years ago." He told me.

"How did you end up with custody? Why didn't she get him?" Alice asked.

"I had two jobs, a good environment for him, she had nothing. So I was the perfect option for little Edward." He said.

"In other words, they believed you over her. She had to have brought up the abuse." I said.

"He acted like he had no idea what she was talking about." Esme said.

"She didn't deserve him, if she wanted him she wouldn't of left." He said.

"That doesn't make any sense!" I said.

"No, what doesn't make sense is how two people could rip someones son away from him!" He said pointing his finger at Esme.

"We saved him from you! Your a pig, an alcoholic ass hole who took pleasure in abusing his son!" Esme hissed.

"He never said he hated it!" He said.

"How could you not hate being beaten by your own father! Edward deserved a shot at a normal life, and we gave it to him!" Esme screamed.

"SHUT UP! SHUT. UP! I could have gave him that! I could have changed!" Jim screamed making us all jump.

"If you wanted to change you would have! You are an alcoholic Jim! You drank daily! The court would have caught on sooner or later! And then who knows where Edward would have ended up!" Esme screamed at him.

"Whose to say you are the perfect parents?!" Jim asked.

"We may not be, but we are sure as hell better parents then you could be!" Esme hissed.

"Well, I'm kind of glad you took him, he sounds like he is a piece of shit." He said.

"HEY!" I screamed.

"What did I hurt your feelings?" He asked

"He isn't a piece of shit! If anyone is a piece of shit its you!" I said.

He slapped me again, I closed my eyes. I must have a nice bruise forming on my face by now.

"Does it make you feel good? To be able to abuse someone again?" I asked.

He didn't answer, he just walked away.

Edward's POV

"I don't understand why they cant find her!" I snapped.

"Give them time! They have only been looking for them for an hour." Carlisle said.

I sighed and sat down next to Emmett.

"So tell me again the last time you heard from Bella was?" Carlisle said.

I sighed, "I talked to her on the phone. She was at the park reading the book I gave her."

"Someone must have seen her!" Emmett said.

"Yeah, but without knowing who was there it would be impossible to find witnesses. No one has even went to the police about it." Carlisle said.

We all felt defeated. Our wives were out there somewhere, they could be hungry, hurt, or...worse, and we weren't there to protect them. It made us feel like failures, you promise that you will always be there for them, and then you aren't.

"This place is a mess." Carlisle said.

We all looked around and nodded in agreement.

"I cant just sit here and do nothing, I'm going to help look." I said getting up.

Everyone pretty much followed me, and we set out to find our wives.

Bella's POV

"All I want to do is talk to him!" Jim said.

"Don't you understand! If you come back it could hurt Edward." I told him.

"How? How is talking going to hurt him? It's not like I'm going to hit him." He said.

"Not physically hurt him, hurt him mentally and emotionally." I said.

"I don't see that happening." He said.

"It already has." Esme said.

"How?" He asked.

"Shortly after we adopted Edward he developed D.I.D also known as Multiple Personality Disorder. We were able to treat it for a while, until you started to call. Now it's back, so you have already caused pain to him." She told him.

"I didn't want too, believe it or not." He said.

"Then leave, just leave and we can move on and forget that this even happened!" I said.

"I want to talk to him." He repeated again.

I groaned.

"Why?! Why is important that you talk to him?" I asked.

"I want him to know that I've changed." He said.

"Have you?" I asked.

"What does that mean?" He asked getting angry.

I just looked at him.

"You kidnapped us! Your holding us hostage to reel my brother here! When my brother doesn't even know you have us!" Alice said.

"Your right, I should give little Edward a call, shall we?" He asked.

He pulled his phone out and dialed Edward's cell phone number, he put it on speaker.

"Hello?" He said.

I wanted to cry out when I heard his voice, I closed my eyes.

"Hello Edward." Jim said.

"You!" He growled.

"I take it by now you have realized you are missing someone." Jim said.

"Where are they?! Where is Bella!" Edward screamed.

Jim looked at me.

"I'm here." I cried out.

"Bella! Bella! Love, are you hurt?" He asked.

"No. Edward, I miss you..." I cried.

"I miss you too, I'm coming for you." Edward said.

"Oh, but you see Edward. Right now the cops are trying to track this phone, aren't they?" Jim asked.

"No." He said.

"Liar, but it doesn't matter, because this phone is untraceable. And all their phones are destroyed." Jim told Edward.

Jim made us all stand up. Jim walked away and reached for something.

"Edward let me ask you something." Jim said.

"What?" He said.

"If you had to choose one person, one person from the four girls, who would you choose to save?" He asked.

"What?!" Edward asked.

"I'll give you a minute to think about it." He said.

I looked at the girls shocked, did he really just ask Edward to pick from us four?

"Edward, which one of these women in your life would be more devastating to lose?" He asked.

I heard Edward hesitate to answer.

"No hard feelings Edward!" Esme shouted.

Jim looked over his shoulder and gave her a warning look. What was he doing that he couldn't turn around?

"Bella! I choose Bella!" Edward gasped.

It all happened so fast, one minute his back was to us and the next he had a gun pointing at me.
