I woke up the sun shining in my room
I woke up the sun shining in my room. It gave the room a golden look, and warmed ,me up inside. Speaking of golden where is Edward? He was normally always there when I woke, but today he wasn't. I slipped my feet out of the bed, and onto the cold floor. I walked to the window and looked down at the crowds of people passing by. And that's when it happened. Mike! And even Jessica! I can't believe it! They were really there! It had been so long since I'd seen any one familiar, besides Edward. I reached and opened the window. I was about to call out to Mike, when I heard Edward open my door.
I gasped and quickly turned around, as I shut the window. I put on a fake smile. He was still topless. He had a suspicious look on his face which I tried to ignore.
"Oh, um your shirt! Let me get it for you." I said, trying to hurry him out the door.
"Why would I want to leave," he knew I was hiding something, he just didn't know what it was yet. Edward had forbidden me to see anyone. If he knew or even thought that I was trying to say hi or go down and see Mike and Jessica, he would fly into a rage. Unconsciously I backed up to the window, trying to make sure he stayed as distant as possible. His eyes cut into tiny slits as he narrowed them into a glare. He hated when I didn't tell him something.
"What are you hiding?" He asked with fury in every word.
"Hiding? Who said anything about hiding something, no, no, I was just trying to give you back your shirt, you know without making you feel uncomfortable." I struggled to keep my gaze on him. If I looked away he would know for sure I was lying, but at least this way I had a chance. It was hard to stare in to his golden eyes and not feel obligated to tell him the truth. But the truth would literality get me killed! He stalked over to me and grabbed my arm as yanked me into him.
"Bella, you will tell me this instant!" My ears were ringing of how loud his voice was. I put my head down.
"There's nothing to tell." I mumbled under my breath.
"You are hiding something. I know you all too well Bella. I demand to know what it is."
"I said it's nothing." He was seething with anger; I could practically feel his burning eyes on the side of my face. Then I felt he grip loosen, as he let go. I looked up at him to see what made him change his mind. He had a full-size smile on his face, as he pushed me aside and walked over to the window.
"No," I said, grabbing his arm, although it did nothing. My voice was full of worry. Oh no! He opened the window and looked out. His eyes instantly landed on Mike and Jessica. He looked back at me, and slammed the window shut. For a moment he didn't say anything, he just stared at me with disapproving eyes.
"Edward I-"
"Don't speak!" He cut me off. He inhaled deeply as if some of the anger would disappear quicker. This was going to bad. The anxiety was making my stomach cramp.
"Did you open this window?"
"I woke up and,-"
"It's a yes or no question."
"Yes" I said my voice shaking and barley audible.
"Were you trying to say hi to Mike and Jessica?"
I turned my head and look down at the floor. I hated when he made answer what he already knew. He yanked me forward by my arm and whispered,
"Bella I suggest you not toy with me, now answer me!"
"Yes." I said tears starting to gather. My Edward was gone. Why? I should have known. Jealously always did this to him. But Mike was nothing, but a comforting friend that I liked to see every now and then. We had no connection.
"I didn't think it would come to this Bella, but now that it has, I guess I have no choice." I started at him with fear in my eyes. What was he going to do?
"I'm going to punish you." Oh NO!
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no," I screamed. I grabbed his arm pleading with him.
I hated Edward's punishments. They were like pure torture. The worst punishments are when he plays a game with me. They were a game to him, but pure sadistic to me. They scared me.
"Please don't do that, it was a mistake, I didn't even know they were there until after I opened it! Please Edward, no!"
"Bella,-"
"I'll do anything, just please, no punishments." I could feel the tears running down my face. He laughed. Didn't he actually find this funny?
He looked amused by my begging. I looked at him confused "You said anything."
"Edward." I whispered. He grabbed me as he put his face in my hair where he could smell it. I was shaking with fear. To see Edward mad was terrifying, but to be threatened with one of his punishments was beyond control.
"I'll think about it, it depends on how good you are for the rest of the day." He whispered making me shutter. "Well as least I'll think about what punishment to give."
I looked up at him again, with pure horror etched all over my face.
"What, you didn't think you were going to get off completely Bella, did you?" No, you will be punished. It just depends on how I want to make it."
"Edward, I'm sorry." I wined out. He looked at me smiling.
"I know you are, and even if your not, you surly will be. I will personally make sure of that." My body started to shake with these words. What would he to me this time?
"Now," he said as if nothing had happened, "get your dress on, and hand me my shirt when your done, we're going home." At the word "home" he smiled. He knew that was the last place I wanted to be. But I had to know one thing.
"Was any of it real?" I whispered.
"What?"
"Was it?" I knew he heard me, he always heard me. "The way you treated me, the way you looked at me, and loved me?"
"Loved? Bella I still love you. And yes it was very real. Especially last night. I know you love that Edward. But Bella," he smiled and his eyes shot out signs of joy, "vacation is over. Its time to welcome the regular Edward home. Now I'd like to have my shirt back if you don't mind."
"Why not just give me my punishment now!"
"No, we will wait till we get home." Wait, had he already decided what my punishment was?
"At least tell me what it is." I asked my voice was a whisper.
"Why so you can mentally prepare for it? I don't think so. But it will certainly keep you from poking your head out windows next time. And at the same time I will be happy. So It's accomplishing exactly what I want. But I'm not completely sure yet. Get dressed, I'll be waiting outside for you." He turned and left the room. I looked at the window. Could I possibly move my legs enough to escape out the window?
If I got out into public, maybe he couldn't have me as easily, or if I slipped and died, why would that matter? I slowly walked over to the window and reached for it. Then my inner voice spoke up. No, Bella, not now. We will escape him, but this is not the way. I walked back over to the bed and picked up my black dress and slipped if over my head. Then I hesitantly opened the door and walked out.
"Don't you have to go to the bathroom or something?" He asked.
"No, I'm fine." Its not like you care.
"Ok!" He said with joy in his voice. He held his hand out to me. So I slipped my hand in his, knowing it was what he wanted.
"Very good." He said as if complimenting me on some trick I did. Like I was a pet of his. We walked down the main lobby and to his car. He opened the door for me and I slipped in. I looked around, but Jessica and Mike were gone. I saw Edward give me the look, but I didn't care, he was going to punish me anyways. I should have known it to be too good. There was no way Edward would really change overnight. It made me sad, to look and see how good my life used to be. And how I never even realized it! Edward had taken everything from me, my friends, my family, my life!
We speeded home. When home Edward literality jumped out of the car with joy. He opened my door. "Ah, so good to finally be home isn't it Bella?" I slowly got out of the car as I looked at my prison cell. There was no way I was going to live my life like this. I would have to leave Edward one way or another. I felt a tear roll down my face. The words were painful to even think about. No matter how cruel Edward was, to leave him was my death sentence.
We walked into the all too familiar mansion, and Edward smiled at me. "Ready?" He asked.
"Ready for what?!" I said with panic in my voice.
"A game." Oh no, not the game. I hadn't even been in the house for a few minutes and already my doom was here. It seemed like the morning had gone by in fast forward mood. I don't even remember the car ride. Maybe it was my nerves.
"Please Edward, don't do this. I promised I will never do it again." I moaned, while fear shook every limb in my body. My eyes blurred with salt water. "Please" I said, sinking to the floor with my hands over my eyes. "Edward, I'm scared." Edward back away.
"I really wish I didn't have to do this Bella, but you left me no choice, perhaps you will think before you do something like this again."
"PLEASE!" I screamed, tears gushing from my eyes. Edward clapped his hands twice. The lights went out and everything was dark. I quickly got up, not knowing where to turn, only that I wanted to find a safe place and fast!
