The Finish Line

Chapter 10 Waiting

A/N: I so don't own anything Twilight related except some neat stickers with Edward's face on them. I just like to twist the characters to my own twisted desires. I also got tired of mike being the bad guy. Here he is a good guy. Ben and T yler are the evil ones. Anyways enjoy this chapter jumps quite abit of time almost 2 years. It was necessary to set up the rest of the story. Will they have a HEA ? Doesn't look like it at this point. But never know. I know there isn't any lemons yet but wait for it.

Chapter 10 Waiting

“Edward NOOOOOO!!!!!” I screamed as the bullets ripped through the air and found their mark.

“Now to finish what we left off Bitch.” Ben growled. “The ken doll is dead so there's no one to help you now.”

Tyler hit me upside my head wit the pistol he just fired and I blacked out. But I swear I heard someone yell police as I did.

Emmetts POV

“Police Freeze!!” I yelled. Then I noticed Edward laying motionless on the floor. “Oh God Edward.!” I ran to him as Detective James and his crew rushed in. I forgot all about Bella.

“You two are under arrest for Rape, murder and money laundering. Surrender peacefully or we will use force.” Detective James ordered.

I found a pulse on Edward but it was faint. The bullets penetrated the vest I had insisted on him wearing. There was a commotion behind me and before I coujld look it settled.

“We won't be taken alive.” Tyler yelled waving his gun around frantically. Then three shots were fired. I jumped up with my gun drawn. Detective James and another Detective had fired rounds into one of each of their legs. One of the men had hit the other detective in the arm. Detective James handcuffed the two men and Edward and Bella was transported to the hospital.

I could hear voices over me but couldn't open my eyes.

“As soon as the doctor gives her the all clear we are moving her to an undisclosed location until those guys are in prizon for life. We will keep her a secret. She wont be able to contact anwone until we say so.”

“But Detective James, she has ta job and a contract to keep. We are her family. She needs our support.” Lance argued with the detective.

“You can see her after the trial.” Detective James insisted.” We will discuss this later.”

I was in a panic. I heard the doore open and waited but heard no one else. After a while I could finally open my eyes. I was alone and sore. The door opened again and the nurse walked in.

“Well, hello, let me get the doctor.” She said in shock.

“Wait, can you get me a notepad and pen please? I need to leave a note for my friends.” I think I practically begged the poor woman.

“Sure.”

She returned with Dr. Jane Hanson. “Wow you're finally awake. Let's give you a good look over.”

“Doctor do you know if Edward is ok?” I asked

“I'm sorry but I don't think he is here.”

That could only mean one thing. Edward didn't make it. I wrote out a letter for Alice.

Dear Alice,

Please forgive me for everything. I don't know how long I'll be here for. The feds are taking me to a hiding place. I heard them talking about it. They won't let me have contact with anyone til after the trial. Please believe me when I say I'm sorry for everything. I'll come find you as soon as I can. Tell Edward I love him. They wont tell me how he is. Or where he is. Thank you

Forever your sister

Bella

I folded it up and when the nurse returned I asked her for an envelope. When she returned with one I sealed the letter inside and wrote alice's name on the front. I asked the nurse to give it to Alice for me.

That morning I was in an unmarked ambulance being taken to a small airport. I got on a plane with four guards and flew for what seemed like forever before we landed in a small redneck town I didn't even know exsisted.

------------------------------------3 months later-----------------------------------

They flew Lance in blindfolded so we could work. I could watch TV but had no internet or phone. They had changed the phone number on my phone and deleted all of my contacts. Great. That was the only place I had Edward and everyone's numbers. I couldn't get ahold of anyone and they couldn't get ahold of me.

The trial started and I gave my testimony in a plain white room over a closed captioned video camera. They didn't want me in the same room as Ben and T yler. I never knew who all was there to testify against them.

-----------------------------10 months later----------------------------------

The trial was over and the monsters were found guiltyof all charges. They were given life sentences without chance of parole. Apparently Marlyn wasnt the only woman they killed. Then I thought about Edward. Detective James wouldn't talk about him but he did tell me that in about 3 months they would move me back to my home.

---------------------------13 months later----------------------------------

I was free finally free. I felt like the one in prison. Thank God I was finally my own person again. I went to my home in LA. I had Ana and Rob get in touch with Rosalie while I was in solitary and get the keys and things for my house in Seattle. I didn't know if I was going to move in or not but I wanted it ready incase I did.

I started having nightmares again. This time it was Edward getting shot. I started using again.

“Bella, I have good news. Well you have been booked for New Years in Times Square and your new guitar player Travis will be here tonight to meet you. “ Lance informed me as he came through the door.

Apparently the other guys just didn't want to wait around even though he was getting paid.

------------------------------------19 months later------------------------

New Years was a blast but I was high the whole time. I could have sworn I seen Edward and Alice but he was dead right? I found a look alike for him an actor that was the spitting image of Edward to film my new video the remake of “According to you” I also found a Sam look alike.

I decided to move back to Seattle. LA just didnt' hold me any more. I offered the house there to Ana and Rob but they wanted to move with me. So here I am in Seattle a little more than a year and a half later.

“Let's get coffee Bella. Im dying.” Lance begged.

“Ok, here's a starbucks.” I said and Lance practically drug me inside. I ordered a extra large caramel frappe and Lance got a large black coffee. We sat and drank our coffee and discussed work.

“Bella???”

I looked up and it was Emmett and it wasn't happiness that I saw on his face.

“What the hell are you doing here? Haven't you done enough? Edward's suffered enough because of you.”

“Edward's alive?” I asked

“Yeah,no thanks to you. You are one deceitful conniving bitch you know that?”

I felt the tears flowing and jumped up and ran out the door bumping into someone as I did. I didn't bother to look up I just mumbled my apology and ran.

“Hey Lance. It's been awhile. How are you?” Edward asked Lance as he walked up to the table.

“Edward, man you look good.”

“Thanks its good to see you again. Sorry I'm late Em, some chick just about plowed me down at the door.”

“Um, Edward that was....” Lance started but Emmett butted in.

“That's fine man let's get a table.”

“Oh hey, Lance, How's Bella?” Edward asked
