Caged (-Twilight Fanfiction-)

19. Don't you remember

Bella's POV

2 years ago.

It was raining in Seattle of course, and just like everyday I'd be writing in the small, confining space of the living room me and Jacob shared. He was an owner of a car manufacturer in downtown Seattle, which was something that he spent a lot of time building.

When we met, he was amazing. Absolutely perfect. Everything that he said and everything that he'd do I admired. I fell in love with the idea of loving a man like him. Strong, passionate and handsome.

It didn't take me very long to realise after I had moved away from my friends and family to Seattle with Jake that things started to change. He was more closed off, grumpy and unapproachable. Before we left New York, dad and Emmett told me that I was being stupid moving away from them, that Jacob was only taking me away from them. I thought that they were jealous, that they only wanted me to stay because I was their family. It only wanted me to move away even more.

Edward. Edward never said a word about me leaving. He was sad, and didn't really say anything to me a few days before I left. Of course any best friend would be sad when their pal moves away, but I was still upset he never gave me a proper goodbye. I could see it in his eyes that he wanted to speak out to me, but my stubborn ass self wouldn't of listened to him nonetheless.

"Bella babe." Jacob called when he slammed the door behind him, clashing his keys on the side and loosening his tie. "I hope dinner is ready."

"As it always is when you come home." I smiled lightly, pointing to the dinner table that I had laid half hour before he came in.

He grumbled. But I blew it over my shoulder, knowing that he had probably had a hard days work at his office.

"I made Hunters chicken with cauliflower cheese and peas."

"You know I hate Cauliflower." He gave me a pointed glare and scowled. He approached the plate picked it up and took it to the kitchen. I followed him through, hot on his heals and gasped when he opened up the bin and tipped his dinner in it.

"Jacob! It takes me hours to prepare these meals I make you! What are you going to eat now?"

"I'll order. Anything is better than this shit."

He was always in a bad mode when he came home. I knew his work stressed him out and he sometimes didn't mean to waste food.

"Congratulations Bella! Twilight is New York's bestselling book!" My publicist, Angela, hugged me in the book store I was doing signings for. "Let's celebrate tonight."

She took my hand and lead me to the table that I would occupy myself for most of the day. I sighed and brushed my hand through my hair. I wish I could go out tonight.

"Ange I'm so sorry, but me and Jake have plans tonight. He has some business meeting and wants me to attend with him." I frowned and took my seat.

She kissed my cheek and shrugged, "it's okay, we still have the rest of our lives to celebrate!" She exclaimed. "Maybe you should invite your friends over from New York. Or we could go to them! That's a great idea."

New York. My home. My real home. Where everyone I loved lived. Just thinking about home made my heart clench. I miss my dad and Emmett. Even Alice surprisingly. My true friends had probably forgotten I even existed, or that I was a distant memory.

"No Ange. They're all incredibly busy and besides, we have each other. Can't we just stay in watch a movie and eat junk food?" I pondered, pleasing her with my eyes.

"Aww come on Bella, don't be a bore."

Of course if Edward would have been here, he would of jumped at the idea of a movie night. But that's the problem. He wasn't here.

**Flashback**

"La la land?" Edward asked with an arched brow. "Are yous seriously making me, might strong, magnificent, made of steel, Edward Cullen, watch a musical?"

"Yes. Yes I am"

He grumbled and sat back against the pillows. "Put it on then."

"Yes!!" I laughed as I bounced towards the DVD player. "I LOVE THIS FILM."

With the popcorn in my lap, and snuggled into my best friends side, we began the movie.

"You're too hot. Move." I groaned, trying to unstick myself from Edwards side, and cringing when I stretched and my spine cracked. We were almost finished with the movie and I knew that Iw as going to cry so I needed to get away from Edward ASAP.

He smiled and crossed his arms over his chest. "This Film is utter shit Bella."

I gasped and placed a hand over my heart. "How could you say that?" I said in mock hurt. "You've ruined this friendship you asshole."

"Good. I don't love you anyway." He pouted.

"Ouch that one re-opened my wounds. You little fucker." I laughed and poked my finger into the side of his ribcage making him shatter with laughter.

"You're on Swan!" He shouted with a grin as I leaped from the sofa and ran away from him. I knew he'd end up pinning me to the ground and tickling my sides mercifully. I needed to abort right now.

That night was probably the last thing I could remember of what fun really was. I knew that what me and Jacob had wasn't love, but he frightened me. I didnt want to say anything just in case he would- never mind. Even my mind was plagued it's his presence. I wanted him gone. I wanted him out of my life for good. But I knew even with all the strength I had, it still wasn't enough to stop him from hurting me. It never has been enough.

I needed to think of an escape plan. I needed to go home.

A/N Hi guys. I'd say I'm really sorry for not updating a lot. But I know I say it a lot, so I won't say it. This chapter has taken me AGES to write. It's short, crappy and needs major editing. But I wanted to get it out to you as quick and soon as possible. Hopefully you enjoyed it, and please leave votes and comments. They truly make my day ❤️
