Do You Believe in Fate?

Ok, I'm back in fanfic... and this is my first Twilight fic, also is my first attempt in this kind of pairing, meaning girl-girl... and is kind of weird for me, but I had this idea since a while and I just had to write it... the idea in my head is to write a multi chapter fic, but I will do it only if I receive enough reviews either bad or good, but enough to encourage me to keep going with the story (though I'll finish it either way only I won't update it, sorry)

Warnings: well I told you that this is a femslash story, and is rated M because in this chapter the main subject is rape... So if you don't like or don't feel comfortable reading this kind of subjects then you should probably go...

Disclaimer: well you already know this... Stephenie Meyer is the owner of Twilight and the characters... (Damn!)

Summary: What happens when you find love in the most unexpected situation? What happens when there's has to be a tragedy for you to find it? What happens if after you find it, it brings you a lot of challenges and surprises? Are you willing to accept them no matter what? All for love? All for fate?


Alice's POV

My name is Mary Alice Brandon Cullen and I'm studying art at the University of Seattle, I'm so happy to be here, I can't believe that my parents let me have come alone, I was so sure that they would send Emmet, my old brother, with me so he could keep an eye on me all the time… And don't get me wrong, I love my parents, it's just sometimes they are so suffocating, they didn't seem to realize that I have eighteen years old and I'm perfectly capable to live alone.

This is my first year, and the very first time that I live all by myself so far away from my home, Forks, Washington, my dad is a Doctor, and my mom is an architect and interior designer, and there's Emmet, my big brother, he's the best brother I could ask, although is the only I have, I love him so much, he's so much like a big teddy bear...

And today is the last Friday, and the beginning of the spring break! This was a very stressed week I'm so happy that is finally over… it's getting dark, but it's a nice warm evening, just perfect for a walk... since the beginning, I decided that I would not live at the university residence, and my dad was agree with me, so he bought me a small apartment near the campus, and every day I like to walk after my last class around three or four, today however, I had to stay to finish a group project at the library and now is a little strange for me because is almost seven o'clock and is already dark but warm night...

So I'm walking through a small green area outside the campus which is strangely dark, like if the lamps out here were somehow off and that's odd, and the weirdest thing is that I could heard something like a soft groan from behind of one of the brushes, at first I got scared and I wanted to run, but when I heard a second painful groan I decided to go check... and, what I saw it scared me off, there was a girl about my age covered in blood, her left knee was twisted in an odd angle, she had blood on her face so I couldn't see much of her, her eyes were closed in some sort of a painful expression, her right arm was across her stomach and her left one was on her back... I felt horrible and I start to look around to see if I could find someone but there was nobody, I grab my cell from my pocket and I call for an ambulance and then I kneeled next to her and ask her name, it will be stupid to ask her if she was alright when it was pretty obvious that she wasn't...

"Oh God! what's your name? I'm Alice, and don't worry, the ambulance is on its way here, can you tell me your name?"

"It... it hurts... so much…"

"I know, please hang on, the help is coming..."

About five minutes later I could hear the ambulance siren, and I stood up and walk to make them see me, they come and start to work on her, one of the paramedics start to ask me about what happened and if I know her...

"I don't know her, I only know her name is Bella, I was walking and I heard her, I don't know what happened to her... Is she going to be ok?"

"I don't know that Miss, she is pretty hurt, we are going to take her to the hospital and hope she can tell us what happened to her... are you coming with her?"

"I don't know if I should, I don't know her..."

"But you find her, and..." He suddenly stood and take me a few steps away from the girl "Look miss, I can't be sure about what happened to this young lady, but from what I can see, she was assaulted, and much likely she was raped too, if that's happen to be true, the police will need all help they can get, and since it was you who find her, you could be helpful..."

Oh my God, she was raped... I felt really bad for her, and if it was true that I could help even just a little, then I would do it, so I made up my mind and I climb into the ambulance.

When we arrive to the hospital, the paramedics and the medical crew took Bella to one of those emergency rooms, and I just stood there waiting, until the paramedics come back, the same one who ask me to come tell me that soon one nurse will come to tell me how is the girl, so I went to sit to the waiting area.

I was sitting there about 15 minutes when I felt my cell vibrate inside my pocket; I grab it and answer without check on the ID...

"Hello..."

"Thank God Alice! Where are you young Lady? Have you noticed the hour? I've been calling to your apartment and your cell phone for about four hours!"

"Mom calm down please..."

"Calm down? How can you ask me to calm down Alice, I thought that you were hurt or something..." In that moment another ambulance arrives to the hospital, and the siren could be heard from the area where I was, and my mom could heard through the phone and obviously she freaks out... "Oh My God Alice, are you in a hospital? What happ..."

I cut her before she had a heart attack... "Mom calm down I'm fine, please, just breathe and let me explain you..." she calm down once I told her everything about Bella, she of course felt sorry for the girl and a lot worried for me since I'm alone in this big city, thank God, in that moment a nurse come to tell me about Bella's condition and I say goodbye to my mom and focus my attention on the lady.

"Hello, are you the one who come with the girl Bella?"

"Um yeah, my name is Alice Cullen, how is she?"

"She will be ok, though she is pretty hurt, she has two broken ribs and her left knee is sprained, she has bruises all over her arms, chest, abdomen and legs, she has a few small cuts on her lip and eyebrow..."

"Oh God... one of the paramedics told me that probably she was assaulted and maybe she..." I could even tell the word, it was just too awful...

"Unfortunately they were right, right now there are two cops talking with her, once they finish, you can go and see her..."

"But... I don't really know her; I only know her name... I'm sure she doesn't even remember me..."

"She does, she ask me about the girl who found her, she wanted to know if you were still here, and I told her that you were waiting and that as soon as the cops finish with her you could come to talk to her"

"Oh, ok... well thanks, I guess..."

I sit again to wait for a while, when the two cops were out, the nurse give a sign waving her hand to let me know that I could come into the room.

I knocked twice and open the door slowly, I saw the girl laying on the bed staring to the ceiling and a trail of tears running freely through her cheeks, a splint on her left knee and an IV line on her left hand, it was a sad scene.

Apparently she didn't heard me knock nor saw me opening the door, so I decided to say something to let her know that I was coming inside...

"Um... Hi, can I come in?"

She turns to face me and that's when I could see her face, despite the bruises and the cuts, she had a beautiful face... She gives me a small nod and I went to sit in the chair next to the bed.

I didn't know what to say, we were in an awkward silence for a few minutes, until finally she spoke...

"You found me..." her voice was more like a raspy whisper

"Yes, my name is Alice, you are Bella?"

"Thank you..."

After that, neither of us said anything more, I just sat there and she was still staring at the ceiling. I felt y cell vibrate again, this time it was a text from Emmet, he was coming over to check on me for mom and dad orders, he was asking me if I was still at the hospital, great, my mom tell everyone... I text him back telling him that I was still at the hospital and that I didn't needed him here, though I know it was pointless to argue. I didn't get a reply until a while later, and it was to tell me that he was outside at the waiting area. At first I was truly surprised, how long I have been in here? I check my watch and it has been a couple hours since I found her!

I stood up and before I could tell her anything, she turns to me with a panic expression and grabs my arm... "Don't go, please don't leave me alone!" her voice sound so frightened, it scared me...

"I'm sorry, it's just... I wasn't leaving... my brother is in the waiting area..." she didn't tell me anything, but her eyes were pleading me to not leave her, I felt so sad, I didn't want to leave her... "I won't go anywhere, I promise you, just let me call my brother to let him know that I will stay here, ok?" she nods and I went to the other side of the room, grab my cell and dial Emmet's number.

"Hey Pixie, where are you?"

"I'm in Bella's room, I'm going to stay with her, you can go to my apartment..."

"Wait, Why are you going to stay with her?, I though you didn't even know her..."

"I don't, but she wants me to stay..." I low my voice to a barely a whisper so she couldn't hear me... "Emmet, she's so broken, I can't just leave her here alone, please..."

"Alright, I'm going to go now then, but I'll be back in the morning, ok? Mom and Dad are worried about you..."

"I know, can you call them for me please? I promise you that we can have lunch together tomorrow..."

"I'll see you tomorrow Pixie!"

I shut my phone and went back to the chair, Bella had her eyes closed, it seems she was asleep, as soon as I sit on the chair, she starts to fuss in her sleep, quiet moans coming out her mouth, she tries to move but when she does that, she screams in pain, she actually hurt by the movement, and she wakes scared and in pain, I press the red button at the side of bed calling to the nurse, I stood by her side and took her hand, she turns her face and when she sees me she starts to cry.

"I'm scared..."

"I know, but I'm her with you, you're not alone..." in that moment the nurse came in...

"Is everything ok? How are you feeling, are you in pain?"

"Yeah, it hurts..." Bella said still sobbing

"She just had a nightmare and when she woke up she hurt her ribs..."

"Alright, I can give you more..."

"NO!" Bella shout... "Please, I don't want to sleep again..."

"Bella you are in pain..."

"I don't care, please, I don't want to fall asleep again, please!" she was pleading, she was terrified to sleep again and have more nightmares.

"Ok, I won't give you more painkillers for now, but if the pain continues I'm gonna have to, alright?"

"Thanks... "

"Bella..."

"Please, tell me something, anything to keep me distracted..."

"Ok... what you want me to tell you..."

"Tell me about you..."

"Well, you already know my name, I'm a freshman at the Art College, I'm from a small town called Forks, my dad is a doctor and my mom is an architect, I have an older brother Emmet he is like a big teddy bear..."

"Wow, it sounds nice to have a family like yours..."

"You don't have a family?" now that I think about it, it's weird that no any familiar had come to see her...

"My mother leave my father and me when I was like four, and since then, my father had spent working instead of taking care of his only daughter..."

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

"Don't be, somehow I got used to that life, I was always alone or with one of the many nannies he used to hire for me..."

"Are you from here?"

"No, I'm from Phoenix... that's why he isn't here; he's probably working or doing something much more important than me..."

"I'm sorry to hear that..."

"I'm Bella Swan, and I'm a freshman too, but I'm studying Marketing"

"And do you live at the College Residence?"

"No, I have an apartment near to the campus, I guess that's the only good thing my father given me. What about you?"

"I have my own apartment too; I never liked the idea of living in a college residence. How are you feeling? Are you still in pain?"

"No, wow, I really don't feel the pain anymore, thanks again..."

It was comforting our little chat, I start to like her, besides, she is beautiful even with those cuts, now that I can see her face without the blood, she has chocolate brown eyes, a heart shaped face and slim but pouty ruby lips; her hair was also dark brown and long.

"You don't have to thank me; I'm doing it because I want to... I mean, maybe the circumstances weren't the best, but I really am glad to meet you..."

"I... I wasn't supposed to be there, I hadn't..."

"Hey, you don't have to tell me anything about that, I'm not asking you to..." I wasn't sure if I wanted to hear that story, but maybe if she wanted to tell me she could feel somewhat relieved...

"I know... I supposed to be on my way to the airport, but I decided that I didn't wanted to go to Phoenix, so instead I went back... and I don't even know why... I..."

She told me the entire story, and when she finished, she was silently crying again, and I just couldn't help it, I was crying too. I just couldn't believe how someone could do something horrible like that to this girl... I knew then, that I couldn't stay away from her, I can't say why or how I know this, I just know that I want to be close to her, I want to be her friend and I don't really know if she wants me to be her friend, but I'll try, I have to try…

Bella's POV

My name is Isabella Marie Swan and I can't believe that I trust in my father, I shouldn't be that surprised after all, he always do this, every single time... My father is a lawyer, and since I remember, he never was at home with me; I was always with the nanny of the month, so I grew up alone. My mother, well, she disappeared from my life when I had three, one day she went out and never came back. During my high school days I wanted nothing more to graduate so I could finally go to college and out of that house. and Of course I send applications to several universities far away from Phoenix, and surprisingly enough, I got accepted in some of those, but of course, Charlie, my father, won't let me go that far, so I decided to go to The University of Seattle and he agreed.

I have to admit that this is so much better that I thought it will be, I'm actually happy here, I have a very few friends, but they are really nice with me. Now, I'm a sophomore and I'm studying Marketing and I really like it, but I have to say that I'm almost glad that the spring break is finally here. Almost. My father called me two days ago, he wanted me to go and spend a few days with him, and I decided that I will give him a chance, after all I didn't had any better plans, but stupid me, today, when I was packing, he called me again, only this time he told me that he was sorry, but he wouldn't be at home, he needed to go to do some work, so here I am an hour later walking through the campus trying my best to calm myself. I don't even know why I decided to came here, it's practically empty; it's getting dark and I decided that it was time for me to go back to my place, so I start to walk a little bit faster when suddenly I felt a couple strong arms grab me from behind. At first I thought that maybe could be one of my morons classmates and I try to turn so I could see who he was, but he was stronger than me and kept me in that position. Was in that moment that I started to worry, I try to free myself from his grasp but he lowered his mouth to my left ear and with a husky voice he told me to stay still otherwise he will hurt me…

He drags me to the back of one of the buildings, there it was darker, but I could manage to see another person there like waiting for us. Somewhere in my mind, I knew in that moment what will happen to me, and that no mattered what I'd do or how hard I'd fight, there wouldn't be any chance for me to escape; but I couldn't just stay there and not do anything, I had to try, so I start to fight and kick and scream, but the one who was holding me was really strong and as soon as I start to scream, he move one of his hands to my mouth, I bit him and this only make him angrier, the next thing I felt was a huge pain on the back of my ribs, I didn't know exactly what he used to hit me, but it really hurt and I stop screaming...

The other guy came close to me and hold my chin so I could see his face, I didn't knew him, I haven't saw him before, he had a stupid smirk and his breath smelled like beer and cigars it disgusted me when he approach his face to mine...

"You really are beautiful babe, I'm sure we're going to have a lot of fun, you'll see..." he then let go of my face and starts to unbuttoned my shirt very slowly while I struggle to get free from the grasps of the other guy, but it was really hard, suddenly I remembered that my legs were somewhat free, and I kick his leg and move my knee up to his crotch in one fast move.

The guy behind me turn me around and slap me on the face and throw me to the floor just at the side of the other guy, once there, he recovered himself quickly and move one of his hands to hold both of my arms over my head and straddle my legs so I couldn't move them, with the other hand, he punch me hard on my ribs once and I scream in pain, this only make them laugh... the one who was all over me, move his free hand to unbutton my jeans and he lowered the zipper... the other guy took hold of my hands and start to touch my breast through my shirt... the first guy move one hand to the waistband of my panties, he move his fingers all over my belly and hipbone, then he start to pull my pants and underwear down my legs... at this point I couldn't hold anymore, I was crying silently because I couldn't fight anymore, I was in a lot of pain, I was almost sure that I had at least one rib broken... I was trying now to block it out, to numb my mind, and it almost work... and I said almost because in one sudden move, I felt him entering me, all of him... It was the most terrible pain I've ever felt, and I couldn't help the scream coming out from my mouth... at this, hi punch me hard on the face and that hurt but also knocked me out for the rest of it...

After that, I woke up alone, dressed again behind some bush, I don't know exactly where I am, it's dark and my mind is still a bit confused... All my body hurts like hell, and I can't scream... there's no any sound near me... I dozed out again, only this time I saw that smirk again, I felt those hands touching me... I could felt him inside of me, hurting me... I wanted to woke up but I couldn't... in my dream I was screaming, and that seems to work somehow, because after a while, I felt an hand on my arm and I heard a sweet voice calling me... at first I couldn't understand the words... and finally I opened my eyes, and what I saw left me breathless... at first sight, I believed that I was in heaven, but if that was true, how come I could still feel the pain? Then I start to believe that those were my last minutes of life and that this gorgeous angel was sent to me... and then, the angel in front of me spoke again...

"Oh God! What's your name? I'm Alice, and don't worry, the ambulance is on its way here, can you tell me your name?" the ambulance? So this means that I'm neither dead nor dying and this is not an angel, now that I realized this, the pain came back full force...

"It... it hurts... so much…"

"I know, please hang on, the help is coming..."

After that, I fell unconscious again, and I don't remember much, until I woke again this time at the hospital, there were a nurse and a doctor with me, they were check on my ribs and cuts on my face...

"You're awake, how are you feeling Miss Swan?" the doctor asked with a small smile on her face...

"Still sore..."

"I know and I'm sorry, you have two broken ribs, you should be still and it will be fully healed in a couple weeks, and about your knee, it was sprained, nothing serious. Now Miss Swan, I know this is going to be hard for you, but I have to take some samples for the rape kit so the police can identified and search for your attacker, this is not going to hurt bet it will be a little uncomfortable, but I'll do it as fast as a can, alright?" I only nod, there's nothing I can do, really, even if I said that I don't want this, they will try to convince me to do it... I feel so embarrassed, but also tired, and it seems that I don't have any more tears, or maybe my eyes are so tired that they don't respond anymore...

While they are taking the samples, I start to wonder if they already call my father, and if they told him everything, will he come to see me? Of course not, don't be silly Bella; he doesn't give a damn if something happens to you...

"Alright Miss Swan, I'm done now, you should be fine, now there are a couple of cops that will came to ask you about what happened to you..."

"Um, My father..."

"Oh, I'm sorry Miss Swan..."

"No, it's better, please don't call him..."

"But..."

"Please, I'm an adult..."

"Alright, I guess you are right. Now I'm going to let the cops came in, if you need anything, call me" I nod again and wait for the cops came... before the nurse walks out of the room, I ask her about the angel who found me, and she told me that she is still waiting outside, that somehow makes me feel a little bit better…

After about forty of the most hard and embarrassing minutes of my life, the Cops Are out of my room. I'm alone again and the fear and anguish

I'm alone again, and fear and anxiety take over my ... somewhere in my mind I vaguely heard someone knocking at the door... and then I hear that sweet voice again, and that causes fear and anxiety disappear...

"Um... Hi, can I come in?" This is strange, how come this beautiful girl who had never seen before could dispel all the negative feelings? How come this angel can makes me feel safe and at peace?

"You found me..."

"Yes, my name is Alice, you are Bella?"

"Thank you..." that's all I can say, though I could say more, but my mind is still tired...

We stay there in silence for a while, an then, I see her standing, and I panicked, I don't want her to leave, maybe I scared with my silence. I grab her arm and beg her to not leave me; she tells me that she wasn't leaving, that her brother is waiting for her. I plead her with my eyes, and it seems to work because she calm me down and promise that she'll stay, but she most call her brother to let him know. I let go her arm and she walk to the other side of the room with her cell...

While she's talking with her brother, I close my eyes for a second, I don't intent to fall asleep again, but my mind and body are pretty tired. Again I can see him in my dreams, his smirk, and I can hear his voice... I try to fight them but it hurts so much every time I move, it actually hurts and I scream in pain, this makes me wake... I'm scared but when I see her face again I can hold it anymore, and I starts to cry, both for the pain and the fear...

"I'm scared..."

"I know, but I'm her with you, you're not alone..." she holds my hand, and it seems that she call the nurse, when she came in, she ask me if I'm in pain and she offer to give more painkillers, but I shout her NO!, I don't want to fall asleep again and have those nightmares again, I need to stay awake and I ask Alice to keep me distracted and thankfully she does. She starts to tell me about her, while she's talking I can't help to look at her face, she is beautiful, she had short dark hair and a even more beautiful green eyes, I can see that she is a bit small than me, but still gorgeous. Then she tells me about her family, and for a moment I wish I could have a family like hers.

Then I tell her about my life and finally I tell her about my nightmare... when I finish the story, we both were crying... I realized that this time, I don't feel embarrassed like I was when I told to the cops, this time I somehow feel almost relieved and in peace...

And I also realized that I don't want her to leave me ever, I want her to be part of my life, I need her in my life, so I don't know how, but I'm gonna try to be her friend and I only hope that she accept me...


Ok... What do you think? Should I continue or not? Let me know.. ; )
