Imani POV:
March 8, 2023

It's now Saturday and Me, Bella, Angela, Jessica and Lauren are all in the 6th store today trying to find prom dresses for Jessica,Angela,and Lauren.

Bella has been some what out of it,because she keeps on looking at a note she has.While Angela,Jessica,and Lauren were finding a dress a group of 5 older men walked passed the window and cat called us. We either crower in cringe or try to ignore them. After a few minutes we resume our shopping, uncomfortably this time.

"Hey can you come to the bookstore with me?" Bella asked

I was confused that she would ask me, out of all people! but I quickly replaced my confusion with annoyance. "Why didn't you go when it was light out?!?"

Bella huffed and rolled her eyes, "Fine be like that...I'll just go by myself."

As she was gathering her stuff to walk out the door I made an attempt to not care but i remembered the men that catcalled us just a few minutes ago. I may hate Bella's guts but I don't want anything bad to happen to her, not really...I swallowed my pride and caught up to her.

The bookstore wasn't as far as I thought it was just hard to navigate where it was since there was little to no light out. After 10 minutes Bella and I made it to the book store and i think she found the book that she wanted,but there's one problem she left me at the book store. What in the entire fuck is wrong with this trick!?!?

I try to find my way back by memory but it's useless. That's when I realize the same group of men that cat called us are surrounding me. I remember that I took online self defense classes. I first kicked one in the balls and punched the other one but unfortunately it only fueled them to try harder to attack me.

Then all of a sudden I see a familiar silver Velvo  screeching to a hard stop.

Edward POV:

It was a regular Friday night with me thinking about Imani as always when I get hit with one of Alice's visions:

Bella bribing a group of 5 men to cat call Angela,Jessica,Lauren,her and Imani. When Bella convinces Imani to go to the library with her and leaves her to get lost while she goes back with Angela,Jessica,and Lauren to get something to eat.The five men surround Imani then beat and take advantage of her.

I have never reacted so fast in my life.The near thought of my mate being touched by someone else or worse violated makes the venom in my vains boil.

I was just on time before they could do something to her.She took a quick glance at me and got in the car. All I could do was stare at the group of 'men' with black and disgusting eyes. But before I could react Imani called my name.

"Edward! Come on before they hurt you!" I quickly got back in the car and speed off. As I was driving the only thing I could hear was their horrid thoughts, which I constantly had to fight off.

"Please Imani, I beg of you to talk to me so I don't go back there and rip their heads off."

"Are you okay? What the fuck just happened back there?"

"They we're going to rape and beat you too death, Imani and enjoy it because someone told them too."

"Now who the entire fuck would want-......BELLA!"she screams,"but wait how did you know where I was?"

Imani POV:

Before Edward could say anything we were at an Italian restaurant. Jessica, Angela, Lauren, and.....Bella walked out. My eyes instantly zoomed in on Bella.

Just the thought of her name makes me really want to beat this bitches ass for trying to kill me AGAIN! I just know when Bella realizes that I'm alive AND with Edward she'll turn hot like a damn tomato.

Angela and Jessica run to me and give me a hug since they were worried about me and tried to call but my phone wasn't working.The girls left me and Edward alone,but not before Bella looking at me with killer eyes as she walked away.

Edward sits me down to eat at this Italian place.I order the Spaghetti with meatballs and Edward ordered a water, which made me realize I never noticed how the Cullens nor the Hales don't eat.

Me and Edward talk about the more in-depth information about our selves like why and how he was adopted(his mom and dad both does form an unknown illness),the treatment I get from Bella and Renee(which was really refreshing to get off my chest and tell to some one besides my dad),and my suspension about his family(like why don't eat,why is he so fast,and how the fuck can they hear conversations from a mile away.He never game me a straight answer just clues).

Then my food came,while I was eating Edward asked to see if he could talk to me on Sunday in the woods about something important,I agreed(since I trust him).

After my dinner was over he paid for the bill and drove me home,but not without giving me a kiss on the cheek(it was sure small but if felt like at house fireworks were going off).

When I got out of his car and got in my house and into my room,Bella was in my room invading my room."What the fuck are you doing in my room Bella?" I yelled ,"What did you do with Edward or did you forget that he is mine."When she said that I slapped her so hard
it rang through out my room,and I grabbed her shoulders and set holding her up against the wall.

"Now you listen here and listen good you little bitch.I do not know what's your problem and I don't care to know,but there's one thing I do know is to not fuck with what's MINE.I will not hesitate to tell Charlie and everyone in this whole damn town how the hell you tried to kill me TWICE,and if you do it again don't think won't drag you ass on the damn concrete.DO.YOU.UNDERSTAND",she says a very shaken yes.I than drag Bella by her hair and lead her out of my room with a door slam.

After kicking Bella out of my room I hear a ring of my phone and it's Edward.I pick it up since I need a distraction from going back and literally beating Bella's ass.We talk for about 2 hours before I realize I need to get read for bed,we said our good nights.

I took a shower,brushed my teeth,put my bonnet and nightgown on,lotion my skin;unknown that Bella is still plotting to kill me and to have Edward to herself,and unknown to her I won't hesitate to kill her if she tries to again.
