His Love

Chapter 19

"Yes Meadow, everything." I looked around the living room where everything once was.

"You just need to move back home now."

"I know, there's nothing left for me here really. I just don't want to risk it with my dad in America."

"We'll stick together. And if he does come we can defend ourselves until the police show up."

"I guess," I heard Eli start crying a little in the other room. "I got to get going Eli needs me. Bye Meadow have fun."

"Bye Bella," she hung up. I set my phone down on the kitchen counter and went to Eli. He was standing up in his crib crying.

"Come here Eli, let's get you something to eat." Just as I was about to pick him up I heard a knock on the door. I decided to leave Eli for a second, who knows who's at the door.

I have Eli a stuffy in hopes that would keep him occupied for a minute or two. I went to the front door and looked through the hole.

When I saw who it was, I instantly felt relieved.

"Hey Peter," I hugged him and invited him in.

"Bella," he smiled.

"Is Hunter with you?" I asked looking behind him.

"No, I thought you might know where he is."

"Yesterday someone tried to take Eli and me but I got away. I texted Hunter that I was safe but he never got back to me." I showed him the text messages. He looked them over confused and set down his things.

"Well I was in Paris yesterday and got a call from him he said you were in trouble and I had to get here." We walked to Eli's room where I could hear him throwing toys around.

"Yea I guess I was but everything is handled. I'm packing cause we're going back to the states." I picked Eli up and held him trying to keep him calm.

"I'm sure Hunter will be glad to hear that. Maybe he's just busy or broke his phone." I nodded. "Since I'm here you want help packing?"

For the next few hours, we packed the rest of my things that I would be taking back as well as playing with Eli.

England was nice but it's not my home. I think it was a good place to get away just to take my mind off of Hunter yet he still managed to be in my life.

A couple of times I've thought about if I hadn't let him in the cafe that night. What would everything be like? I'd probably still be working at the Café. I never even asked why he was there in the first place.

It seems very unlikely that someone like him would end up in a place like that.

"Bella," Peter shakes my shoulder to get my attention. I gave him my attention and saw Eli crying. He handed me Eli and grabbed another box to move out to the car.

I tried to soothe Eli by rocking him or bouncing him. He just cried more. As if on cue, my phone lit up on the nightstand. It was Hunter.

I went over and picked up the phone.

"Hello," I put the phone up to my ear.

"Bella," I held the phone in between my ear and shoulder. Eli seemed to be able to hear because he quieted down a little. I heard Hunter let out a sigh of relief. "I'm so sorry."

"Eli and I are fine, the guy seemed to not know what he was doing at all." I laughed a little. Peter came in and pointed to a box. I shook my head and motioned for him to take Eli. He took him and went to play with the few toys we hadn't boxed up.

"Peter texted me what you guys were doing. I want you to get dropped off at my new place when you get to America. Peter will take you and don't leave his sight."

"Listen even if we do leave his sight we'll be fine. But sure for your sanity, I'll stay with Peter. We won't be there until tomorrow anyway."
