Hello! Thanks to Forgotten Fairy! The only one out of 102 readers to review! That means 101 of you ignored me! Now I'm sad… jk. So yeah, the last chapter was weird. Her flashback with all the gasping thing was supposed to be like this….. gasp. So, don't know why that didn't work. And none of the a/n things were in bold and my paragraph separation lines like this -- were in there either. So I'm frustrated.
I might have Alice POV in this chapter, so yay!
Enjoy!
Bella POV
It had been two weeks since Jacob told me he loved me in THAT way. Two weeks since he had raped me. Two weeks he had continued to rape me and beat me when I didn't do what I was supposed to. And all the time, he would tell me he loved me. That he knew what I needed better than I did. But this weekend, he did something I never thought he would do.
I decided to stand up to him. Stupid idea. I told him I loved him too, but not in the way he wanted. I told him I loved Edward, gasping for air as I did so. I told Jacob that if he loved me as he said he did, he wouldn't hurt me. Apparently I had crossed a line.
He just, well, I can't think of another way to explain it other than this. He exploded. He yelled, hitting me constantly. He yelled that he loved me and that he wasn't hurting me. He was showing me how much he loved me. As I lay there, crying and writhing in the pain, I continued in my stupid way.
"Jake, you are hurting me! You need help!"
His response shocked me.
"I love you, Bella," he growled at me, "I know what's best for you. I'm showing you what's right for you. I'M WHAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU DAMMIT!! THE NEXT TIME YOU SAY ANYTHING DIFFERENT TO ME IT WILL BE WORSE!."
I was shocked. He had never yelled at me like that. I was frozen in fear. He was staring at me with murder in his eyes.
"If you tell anyone what happened, I will kill you. And don't think I won't know. News travels fast around here. Now leave, Billy will be home soon."
I hadn't thought I could get more scared, but now I was. I knew he could kill me. He was ten times stronger than me. It was then that I realized the true horror of my situation.
I was never going to get away from him. He would kill me.
Alice POV
Jasper and I were walking hand in hand through the woods outside of Tanya's home in Denali. He was kissing my neck, when I suddenly felt myself tense up as I had a vision.
Bella drove up to her house in her old red truck. She was crying, and there was a look of pure terror in her eyes. She sat there for a minute, breathing deeply and holding her chest as she tried to compose herself. When the racking sobs had stopped, she ran to the door, looking all around herself, as if she were scared someone would attack her. She grabbed the key from under the eaves, and unlocked the front door. When she stepped inside, she turned on the lights, walked to the kitchen, and saw the note taped to the fridge.
Bella, Billy and I are going fishing for the weekend. I'll be back late Sunday night. Love, Dad.
Bella stared at the note before falling to the floor, clutching her heart, and she screamed.
'Why?! Why did they leave?! It's their fault!!' She continued then in a much smaller voice, 'Why? Why did they leave? Jacob never would have raped me. Why? Why, why why?'
She then broke down into heart wrenching sobs.
As my vision ended, I broke down, dry sobbing, sounding a lot like Bella did.
"Alice?!" Jasper's scared voice broke through my misery as I stared into his eyes. "Alice, what happened?! What did you see?"
"She's in pain, Jasper! She's hurting so, so much! It's all our fault! It's my fault!"
"What are you talking about, sweetheart? You didn't do anything." He hugged me tightly to his chest, rocking me gently as my sobbing slowed. "Now, tell me what you saw."
"She was crying, crying like her heart was being ripped out. And there were bruises all over her face. She said that someone named Jacob had raped her." Then a thought occurred to me. "Jasper, we need to tell Edward, now!"
Jasper just nodded and we ran back to the house, hoping that for once Edward was actually there.
Okay, I'll get Edward in the next chapter. Promise. It might be up tonight, depending on how fast I write. Review!!
