AN: this is a different story and All-human. It was supposed to be AU to twilight, another reason why Bella moves to live with Charlie but that would have been a very long story and I wasn't in for that so I changed it. Here Bella has been raped. I really need reviews if this is something you would like me to continue on or if it is rubbish and I should stop right now! PS: To those who wanted me to recheck everything… Are you happy now!

Horror

I was lying in bed, curled up into a tight ball and clutching my right rib. I tried, for everything I had, not to let a sound escape my lips. I felt my ribs under my shirt as softly and gently as I could but even then I could feel immense pain. It was probably broken.

Either that or it was sprained. Having broken my ribs before I knew the feeling well. But to my utter hopes I prayed that this was just sprained. Please don't let me go to the hospital! Feeling the pain in both my ribs and memories made me shake with silent sobs. But no tears escaped. I desperately didn't want to awake my roommate and best friend, Alice. I hadn't told her anything. Not yet anyway. I came home pretty late last night and she wasn't awake then. To be honest, I had no idea of what to say and how to say it. How do you explain that you have just been raped?

I look at my alarm clock. 1.30 a.m. it read. I should get some sleep but the pain's excruciating and not just physically. I can't believe this is my life. I can't believe that this happened to me. You hear stories like this all the time but never think that it could ever happen to you. I think to myself and another sob penetrates, only to make the tiniest of noises. I knew that Alice wouldn't wake up from that noise. Not even a mouse would. My silent sobbing came to a stop around 2 and I slowly and painfully fall into slumber.
