We were back at the apartment and Abby came with. I kept telling her that I was fine and she needs to go back to Jacob and Amelia. She won't listen though.

"I'm staying here until Chalire and Renée come here." Abby said. 

"I can handle them Abby." I said. 

"I'm sure you can, but Edward can't. Think about it Bells. Edward could get hurt." Abby said. 

"Why do you say that?" Edward asked. 

"Charlie's Chief of Police in Phoenix." Abby replied. 

"So?" Edward asked. 

"He has a gun on him 24/7." I replied. 

"And that's a bad thing?" Edward asked. 

"Because, last time when someone tried taking me away from my parents, my dad shot the person. He died instantly." I replied.

Edward had a weird look on his face and froze. abby froze too. I had never told anyone that before, not even Abby. She just sat down and so did Edward. I was already sitting on the couch. I wasn't risking Edward's life and I sure as hell wasn't risking Abby's. I stared at my engagement ring and held Edward's hand. I kissed his cheek.

"Maybe, I'll just let them take me back. I'm not gonna risk anyone's lives. Especially you two." I told them. 

"I'm not letting them take you away Bella." Edward said. 

"But you'll get hurt." I said.

He kissed my forehead and a tear escaped my eye. I wiped it away quickly but then the thought of losing Edward killed me inside. I then kept crying. Continuously crying. I couldn't stop.

"Bella. We won't let him get hurt. I'll be here with the two of you." Abby said. 

"That won't stop him from shooting both of you." I said. 

"Bella. Calm down. I'll be fine." Edward said. 

"I swear, if you get hurt, I will personally call your mother myself." I said. 

"I'll make sure he doesn't get hurt Bells." Abby said. 

"And if you get hurt, I will personally call Jacob." I said. 

"Alright mom." Abby said.

I giggled and stopped crying. Edward wiped my tears away and pulled me closer to him. We all went to bed early. Edward and I on the bed and Abby on the couch.

~*Dream*~

I was walking into the apartment when I heard a gunshot on the inside of the door. I unlocked it and Edward layed there on the ground holding his leg. Abby was fighting with Renée. I dropped everything and ran over to Edward. I looked at him and started crying.

"Get away Bella." Charlie said. 
"No!" I yelled. 
"Bella. It's gonna be ok." Edward whispered. 
"No it won't." I told him.

Charlie pointed the gun at me and at Edward. Abby fell to the ground and I screamed. No! Why would they do this? Why?

"Why are you doing this?" I asked. 
"This is your punishment for running away." Charlie replied. 
"Don't kill them. Please don't. Abby has a husband and daughter. I love Edward. Please don't kill them." I said. 
"Grab her Renée." Charlie said.

Renée grabbed me and I screamed as Charlie turned around and shot Abby. I screamed and cried as my best friend bled to death. I looked at Edward and cried again. Charlie pointed the gun at him and shot him too. I screamed louder and got out of Renée's arms. I held Edward and blood came out of his mouth.

"I love you." he whispered. 
"I love you too." I said.

I kissed him one last time as his eyelids closed and I was left with my parents. Charlie pointed the gun at me and I looked at him.

"Goodbye Bella." Charlie said. 
"Say hi to Grandma Marie for us." Renée said.

Charlie pulled the trigger and I heard the gun shot.

~*End of Dream*~

I screamed and woke up both Edward and Abby. I started crying and I couldn't stop. It was just a dream. It was just a dream. I repeated that over and over in my head. Edward rubbed my back and Abby had some water for me. I couldn't stop crying. Edward held me close and I cried into his shoulder.

"Bella?" he asked. 

"Edward. She had a bad dream." Abby replied. 

"How can you tell?" Edward asked. 

"She used to have them all the time at my house and at camp." Abby replied. 

"Bella, tell us what it was about." Abby whispered.

I shook my head no. Telling them would just bring the images back and I would just start screaming again, plus, I'd probably cry more.

"Bella. Please tell us." Abby said. 

"No." I told her. 

"What's wrong?" Edward asked. 

"If I tell you, I'll scream again and cry even more." I replied.

Edward kissed my forehead and I looked at the clock, it was 3:30 am. I groaned and Edward pulled me close to him. I layed my head on the pillow and closed my eyes. That was a bad idea because I had the same dream again. It was around 5:30 am this time when I was screaming and crying again.

"Ok. You need to tell us now." Abby said.

I sighed and told them all about the dream. They were crying too after I told them. Edward held me close and after telling them, we all went back to sleep and I didn't have the dream again which was good. Instead, I had dreams of Edward and I together.
