Most Prized Possesion (Rumbelle)

Chapter 38 Over

Rumples POV

Emma shadowed me as we raced up the staircase of the hospital. She wouldn't let me go alone, un-armed.

We reach the fire escape door that led to the roof and I froze. I hadn't even thought about what I'm going to do. I just raced up here, blinded by my terror for Belle. If I go out now, Gaston could freak, go straight over the edge.

"Gold?" Emma whispered, panting slightly, her hand on my shoulder.

I replied by pushing the door open and marching onto the roof.

There she was trying to crawl away from Gaston as he crouching beside her.

"Belle speak to me," Gaston was saying, rubbing her cheek.

Belle turned her head away violently and tried to squirm away.

"Now stop that! Remember what happened last time my love," he said angrily.

She stopped straight away. Her eyes filled with terror.

He leaned toward her. A tear rolled down her cheek. I cannot stand this any longer.

"GASTON!" I roar, finding I'm able to move again.

He looked up shocked. We have definantly taken him by surprise.

Belle looked up, she couldn't believe what she saw.

Her face was white, the bruises on her face had multiplied and there were scratches on her arms.

Suddenly Gaston ripped her up from the floor. He had is arm around her neck, the other pushing her into him. She yelped with pain as she dug into him.

"Don't come ANY CLOSER!" Gaston screamed.

Emma raised her hands to give the illusion we had no weapons - but we did.

"Please Gaston, don't do anything rash," Emma said calmly.

Gaston looked down at Belle. He was crying.

He kissed the top of her head over and over again.

"DONT YOU DARE TOUCH HER LIKE THAT!" I raged, seeing the pained expression on Belles tired face.

"I'm sorry Belle...I'm sorry...Belle, I'm sorry...." Gaston was whispering into her hair, rocking back and forth.

Belles POV

Rumple.

He was there, he was really there.

I weakly reach my arm out to him, but Gaston pulled it back, gripping my wrist tightly.

Rumple looked at me. We made eye contact. He could see how terrified I was. I need him...I need to have his arms around me... Tears streamed down his face, his arm outstretch toward me.

Rumples POV

My eyes meet hers. Looking at her makes me want to cry. Oh no I already am...but I don't care. Belle is the most important thing to me and if anything happens to her....if she doesn't make it off this roof...

I love you Belle. I love you so much...

She mouths 'I love you' and then suddenly her head droops. Her whole body goes limp in Gaston's arms.

"BELLE?!" I scream, running forward.

Belle is lying on her back, eyes closed.

"Belle, wake up, WAKE UP!" Gaston said slapping her cheeks.

I race forward.

I rip him off her and throw him to the side.

He crumples down and whacks his head.

But as soon as he's down, he got back up again.

I feel the impact of his fist on my face. I didn't see it coming.

I fall to the floor.

I sit up and trip him up with my legs.

Emma races over to Belle and checks her pulse.

"She's breathing!" She yells.

For a second Gaston and I make eye contact. We both know what it means and suddenly we are both up on are feet racing toward Belle.

I get to her first leaning down beside her, Gaston the other side. He pulls her toward him but Emma is too quick for him and she lunged forward and throws herself on him. Cuffing him.

Belles breathing starts to kick in again and she opens her eyes.

I lift her head up on my arm, cradling her like a baby.

I look down at her and smile, my eyes full of tears.

"It's over...it's over..." I tell her kissing her forehead.

She looks up at me and tears stream down her face, unbelieving.

"BELLE! TELL THEM YOU LOVE ME! TELL THEM!" Gaston screeched like a child, struggling against Emma.

She tensed up when she heard his voice and her fingers grabbed my shirt.

"He's not going to hurt you anymore Belle," I say stroking her hair as she cuddles in to me, shaking.

Suddenly Gaston breaks away from Emma.

And we all just stay there. Watching each other. Panting.

"Belle...?" His voice cracks.

She let's go of my shirt and turns her head to face him, but not moving her body away from me.

"I never loved you." She said, her voice angry and hoarse.

Then something clicked in Gaston's mind. His face held no expression.

And then he did it.

He took a step back.

Off the roof, down to his death.

Gaston would never hurt Belle, or anyone ever again.
