Chapter 30

EPOV

I was worried out of my fucking mind. I had been waiting for almost an hour and Bella hadn't showed. I had called her several times on her cell, but she hadn't picked up. I knew something was wrong, I could feel it in my gut. I knew I had no other option than to call Jasper. I had to find out what was going on. I just hoped it was something simple like she was angry with me, that, I knew I could fix. I didn't know what I would do if something had happened to her.

"Jazz," I cried, as soon as he answered the phone. "Where's Bella? Do you know where she is? She never showed up and she isn't answering her cell."

"What are you talking about?" he asked, confused, "I dropped her off at the restaurant about an hour ago."

"You did?" I whimpered. "She never showed up. I haven't seen her."

"Hang on a minute, let me call her and see what's going on. I'll call you right back."

The few minutes that I waited for Jasper to call me back had to be the longest in my life. I prayed, I fucking prayed that Bella answered her phone to him. I didn't care if she was mad at me, for whatever reason. I would fix it. All that mattered to me was that she was okay.

When my cell finally rang, I rushed to answer it. "Did you get her?"

"She's not answering," Jasper stated. I could hear the worry in his voice now. "What happened?"

"Nothing," I sighed.

"Something must have fucking happened!" he shouted. "She got all dressed up. She even put on a blue dress, man. She's not going to go to all that trouble and then not show up."

I sighed again, running my hand through my hair, trying to think of what could have caused her to not turn up. "I have no idea… I arrived five or ten minutes early, while I was waiting I saw my cousin Irina. I haven't seen her in months. We chatted while I waited for Bella, but then she had to leave and I realized that Bella hadn't arrived yet."

"You don't think Bella saw you, do you? Maybe she thought there was something going on."

I shook my head. "She's my cousin."

"Bella doesn't know that and Irina is very touchy-feely when she is talking to someone."

"Shit!" I cursed. I knew Jasper could be right. I just wished Bella had confronted me rather than running. I thought we had been making progress. I had seen big changes in her. I guess there were still so many things about her that I didn't understand.

"I'm coming over."

I nodded. I would need his help to find her. "I'll call Em too, maybe he can help us."
