Chapter 56: Epilogue

I'm walking down the street enjoying the cool night air. Why I'm walking I have no idea, but I suppose it's just something different for a change. There's a breeze, and then a crash and a scream. I can't tell where it's coming from. All the houses I see around me look to be dark and have no activity. Then I hear it again, but there's more than one person screaming and yelling now. If I'm not mistaken, there's at least two people, maybe three.

"If you listen close you can hear her crying." Her voice is a whisper in my ear.

Finally, after looking around and searching for the source, I find it on the next street over in the only house with a light on. I see two figures fighting; a woman and a man. He has her by her wrists, shaking her, and then slaps her hard enough she falls. I take off running. A real man never hits a woman no matter how angry they are and I can't stand by and let this go on. As I get closer, the house starts looking just like Bella's and the surrounding houses fade away and disappear. The man and woman are still fighting.

"One, two, three, four. The Devil's knocking at the door." Renee's voice speaks louder.

What the hell?

Feeling the dread of something terrible and horrific, I race to the door and open it. What I see makes me weak with fear. There, in the living room of her house, Bella is crying on her knees, hands behind her back, the man standing behind her with a gun pointed at her head.

"She's on her knees with her head held low. The big man tells her where to go."

Bella looks up at me, tears staining her cheeks. "It'll be okay," she says. "I'll be okay." She shifts her eyes to look past me. I don't want to take my eyes off her and this man, but I look behind me. Renee, Charlie, and Tyler are standing there like they're waiting.

Any blood that was left in my face has gone and I whisper out, "No," in utter horror.

I wake up, sweaty and panting. Thankfully I can still feel Bella's weight on me and when I look over, I see her. I can feel her heat, feel her breaths fan across my chest, her hand over my heart, and still feel her leg across mine. My breathing calms, but my mind is swarming. Sensing that I'm staring at her, she fidgets and opens her eyes.

"You know, it's rude to stare." She mumbles.

"I'm sorry I woke you. I just can't help but admire." I can't tell her why. It will only scare her more than she already is. She smiles and closes her eyes again.

"I don't mind, but maybe wait until I'm awake so I can help."

She falls back asleep, but I don't. That one freaked me out a lot more than the others and I don't know how to deal with it.

A/N: Well, there you have it! *sniffles* I loved having all of you on this ride with me.

Inspiration for this chapter came from "Heaven Knows" by The Pretty Reckless.

Heaven Knows is also the title for the sequel.

LOVE YOU ALL!
