AN:) I finished this chapter a lot sooner than I expected. I got a few reviews from the first chapter but not as many as I hoped. So please try to let me know what you think about this chapter.

CHAPTER 2:

"Miss? Can you hear me?" I hear the voice in the distance, faintly calling out to me. But I don't feel cold or exposed anymore. My head hurts less.

"Ugh." I groan and try to shift how I'm laying but stop from the pain in my rib cage. Wait, I'm laying down. Where am I?! My eyes shoot open and the first thing I see is her. The softest, kindest brown eyes stare back at me.

"Oh jeez you're finally awake!" she says relieved.

"Where am I?" I mutter groggily. A slight blush crosses her face.

"You're in my house Miss." she says. "I found you laying naked in the alley not too far from here and you looked injured so I brought you here." After hearing that I was naked I quickly look down at myself, which causes a rush of pain to my head. I groan but relax since theres a blanket covering my body.

"I found a suitcase with you, it's over there." she points to it in a chair a few feet away. "I would have addressed your injuries and dressed you but I wanted your permission first." she mutters shyly and the slight blush that reappears on her face is adorable. "Oh and I'm so sorry I picked you up without your permission especially since you weren't dressed but there was no other way to get you here and I couldn't just leave you there like that." she rushes to finish what she needed to say. I smile and shake my head.

"Don't worry about it. Thank you so much." I say as I put my good hand against her face softly. I notice how she flinched away at first but then leaned into my touch. Interesting.

"May I take care of your wounds please? Some of them should be treated right away." she says as she puts out a hand to help me up. I nod and she walks us into the nearest bathroom. She has me sit on the sink's counter and the first thing she takes care of is the cut on my head. Paroxide to clean it and a strip of gauze to help stop the bleeding before putting medical tape over it. I take note of the fact that shes only looking at my face. I'm sitting on her bathroom counter naked and she's staring into my eyes.

"Now I need to wrap your ribs, they look pretty bruised so I'm guessing some of them are broken. Then I'll take care of your wrist, it seems severely sprained. You also have some minor scratches all over but we can take care of those last." she says sweetly and I notice how careful she is about the way she comes in contact with me. She always asks before doing something and does it slowly so she doesn't hurt me. She doesn't allow her eyes to wonder from where she's working.

"By the way, my name's Rosalie. I really appreciate what your doing for me." I tell her as she wraps my ribs with ace bandage. She smiles and nods.

"Of course Miss, my name's Bella." she answers back. She seems so polite, and a little young to be living on her own.

"Bella, how old are you? I'm twenty two" Trying to make conversation while I admire how beautiful she is.

"I'm twenty." she answers and I look at her shocked.

"I wouldn't have guessed a day over sixteen." I laugh. She smiles and nods understandingly. She reaches to bandage up my wrist and as soon as her fingers graze it, everything freezes. It seems as if time stops and all I can feel is the pain and my wrist and all I think is "Emmett".

*flashback*

"Stop!"

"I can do whatever I want to you!" "You're nothing!"

"I OWN YOU!"

*end flashback*

"NO!" I scream and fall onto the tiling of the bathroom. My body's shaking and I don't know where I am. He's here. Here. He'll hurt me. Do it again. He will. I know it.

"Rosalie."

"Stop." It's like I can feel him twisting my arm back behind my back. A hand touches my shoulder.

"Are you ok?"

"You're hurting me!" His hands around my throat. Putting more and more pressure. I can't breathe. I can't. I can't.

"Rosalie please wake up." I hear her again. Calling out to me. Bella? My eyes open and I'm back on the couch.

"Bella." I mutter. "What happened?" I ask slightly confused, as if I had just woken up from a bad dream.

"I'm not sure, you kinda just went to a different place." she says with a concerned look. I glance down at my wrist, it's still not bandaged, and I'm still naked.

"Can I have some Tylenol?" I ask as I try to rub the oncoming headache away. She gets up and comes back with a few pills and a bottle of water. I take them both and down half the bottle. While I'm finishing the water she gives me a smaller roll of ace bandage and walks me through each step of wrapping my wrist properly.

"You should rest. You'll heal better that way and you seem tired. I'll carry you to my room if you want." she asks. I think for a moment and I don't want to impose on her. She's so nice. But I am tired, so I nod. She oh so carefully picks me up bridal style, making sure the blanket stays wrapped around my body. It hurts my ribs a little but it's the best way to carry me up the stairs. For some reason I put my arms around her neck, possibly for support. She froze for a second but never dropped me or stopped climbing the stairs. Her eyes had only gone blank for a moment.

"You're going to let me sleep in your room? On your bed? We just met today." I say sounding slightly nervous. She glances down at me and smiles.

"Of course. You're not a rabid dog or anything. I'm totally ok with letting you take a nap on my bed." she says back sweetly. "Oh and I have clothes you can put on too. We're about the same size but they might be a little baggy on you. I hope you don't mind." she continues talking as she walks us into her room and lays me down on the bed. I adjust my position slightly.

"Thank you so much. I really appreciate what you're doing for me." I tell her as she opens her dresser and takes out a pair of boxers, sweatpants, a sports bra, and a T-shirt. She lays them all at the end of the bed.

"I just did laundry a few days ago so all these clothes are clean. I can wait outside the door or if you think you need help I can stay and help you get dressed. Whatever you feel more comfortable with." she says and stands by the side of the bed. I nod and begin to sit up but stop when I feel the splitting pain of my rib cage. Bella's right beside me in an instant holding out a hand to support me. I smile and slowly pull myself up. With Bella's help I finally manage to stand up and shuffle across the floor to the end of the bed where the clothes are; keeping in mind the entire time that I need to hold the blanket up that's covering my unclothed body.

"I may need a little help." I laugh after a few moments. Bella stays silent and gives an attentive nod as she moves in front of me to pick up the first article of clothing I should put on. With a small sigh I reluctantly let the blanket that's been my shelter fall onto the bed. For the I don't know how many-th time today I stand in front of this women with nothing to hide my body from her and for some reason her eyes refuse to leave mine; but for some reason the smile that accumulates as she's looking into my eyes seems far greater than any smile she could produce while starring at my body.

AN:) Alright! That was chapter 2, give me your opinions and criticisms! I don't really have an idea for chapter 3 yet, I'm kinda just writing as I go. If you have any ideas for what I could do please let me know by reviews or you can private message me! Any help I can get with this story would be awesome. I don't know when the next chapter will be posted, because of school, time management, lack of inspiration or such. See ya later!
