"I'm Dr. Gerard," the new female doctor told us.
Charlie and I nodded at her. Bella had fallen back asleep.
"What happened to her?" Dr. Gerard said, her voice full of shock.
I guess this was the best time to explain to Charlie, too.
"She was taking a walk with Edward Cullen. He left, and she tried to follow him. A guy found her though. He took her, and she says that there were multiple guys. They… raped her," I said. My heart broke in two for her.
After seeing Bella today, I knew that my crush on her ended. She didn't need a boyfriend right now. She needed a friend. Someone that could help her through this. I would do anything for her.
I heard Charlie gasp, and I walked out of the room. I couldn't deal with that.
BPOV (three days later)
I had to leave the hospital today. They wanted me to leave as soon as possible so I could recover from… The incident. I didn't want to think about it. If I did, it left me in tears.
After they learned what happened, I only had female doctors.
Charlie was thrilled with the fact that I was finally comfortable around him though. Charlie and Jacob were the only males that were allowed in my room.
It had been a well kept secret. Only those I chose to tell knew the story. This meant my doctor, Charlie, and Jacob. They were the only ones that knew. It wasn't like I had to tell the cops what happened, since Charlie was one. I didn't want the pitying glances. The people looking at me like I would breakdown any second. The people that would think I was disgusting.
They had put me on the morning after pill, thank God. The last thing I needed was a baby.
Charlie had explained to the principal that I wasn't in the condition to be at school. I was going to miss school for a little while. I couldn't be around so many guys.
Jacob had been wonderful to me. He hadn't gone to school so he could stay with me. He wanted to help me, was his explanation. I tried to get him to hang out with friends, but he refused.
I didn't want him to suffer because I couldn't control myself. He helped me more then he could imagine by calling Renee for me, and telling her everything.
She was shocked, and insisted on talking to me. I did for about five minutes. Jake saved me from that conversation too though, and said I needed to rest.
I had some scratches and bruises, but there wasn't too much physical damage.
"Are you ready to go, Bella?" Jake asked me, breaking me out of my trance.
"I guess. I just wanted to say thank you again. You've helped me so much these last few days."
"No problem, Bells. I'll always be here."
He helped me up, and led me to the car. Charlie was at home, getting everything ready for me. Billy was over, too.
Billy had also been great to me, but not in the same way. He was helping from the sidelines. He got my school work, and Jacob's for that matter. Billy understood that I wasn't completely comfortable being alone with him, or even him touching me for that matter. He kept his distance, but was great.
"We're here, babe," Jake told me.
I knew that he wasn't trying to flirt. He had talked to me on my second day in the hospital. He told me that he knew I just needed a friend right now, and he was fine with just that. He said that he his crush on me didn't end, but he knew that I couldn't have more then that. It meant so much to me.
Jacob came around and opened my door for me. We walked into the house.
"That you, Bella?" Charlie yelled from the living room.
"Yeah!" I tried to yell, but I doubted that he could actually hear me.
My voice had barely came above a whisper the last few days.
"Billy made his super secret pasta recipe!" Charlie exclaimed.
"By that, he means Prego," Jacob "whispered" in my ear.
"I heard that!" Billy told us.
I sat down next to Jacob at our kitchen table, and dreaded what would come next.
I hadn't been in the mood for eating. I had probably ate one meal since it happened. I just wasn't hungry.
As soon as Billy and Charlie put the food on the table, there a knock on the door. Jacob got up to get it. I didn't want to see anyone and Charlie had plates in his hands.
I heard Jake whispering, so I walked out to the front room to see who it was.
QPOV (Quil)
Did I do something wrong? My two best friends were ignoring me. It was Thursday. Embry hadn't spoken to me since Monday. Jake hadn't since Tuesday. Neither of them had been at school. I was worried.
I would find out what was wrong after school, I promised myself.
…
The school day was slow, it had been since they stopped coming. I was going to figure out about Jacob first. I drove to his house, but when I knocked, Billy answered.
"Oh, hello Quil. What are you doing over here?" He asked me.
"I was in the neighborhood… I wanted to see if Jake was in? I haven't talked to him since Tuesday, and I just wanted to talk to him," I explained to Billy.
"Actually, he isn't here right now. He's been over at Bella Swan's place. Actually, I'm going over there right now. I'll tell him you stopped by."
"Thanks, Billy. I'll see you later."
Well, that was a failure. Now, I was headed to Embry's house.
Embry lived about a block away from Jake, so it didn't take long to get there.
When I got there, Embry was already coming out the front door. He seemed bigger, more muscular.
I jumped out of my car, and walked up to him.
"Embry, what's going on?" I asked him.
That's when Sam came out of his house.
No, he wasn't ditching me for Sam. What happened to hating him? Sam thought he was cool. That he was in charge of all of us. It sickened me.
I started shaking.
Sam pushed Embry out of the way, and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"It's okay, Quil," Sam said to me.
This just made me shake harder.
Next thing I knew, it felt like my bones were breaking and my skin was ripping.
I looked down, and in place of my feet were paws. Wolf paws.
It suddenly clicked. I was a werewolf. The legends were true.
I let out a loud howl that could be heard a mile away.
Quil, I heard inside my head.
Now I was going crazy! Perfect!
Quil, you aren't going crazy. This is Sam. It's one of things werewolves can do. We hear each other's thoughts when we're in wolf form, Sam said.
Ugh, I complained.
At least now you know why I had to ignore you. It was too dangerous, I heard Embry.
Sam, I have to go talk to Jacob. He'll probably join us soon enough. I'm worried about him. Plus do we really want him over at Bella's if he might phase any minute? I asked.
Quil, it's too dangerous, Sam explained.
No, I have to Sam. He's over at the Swans. I'll only be there for five minutes. I need to tell him. He's going to join us, and I need to be honest when I talk to him, Sam. Embry can come with if that's safer, I begged.
Fine, but be careful.
How do I, erm…, phase back? I asked.
Think about human form. Picture it in your mind, and try to remain calm, Sam informed me.
I did as he said, and soon enough I was human again.
Embry ran inside and got me some clothes to put on. The pants were a little too long, but they'd work.
We got into my car, and drove off to Forks.
Chief Swan had lived in the same house since I was born, I knew exactly where it was.
…
The drive from La Push to Forks was about ten minutes long, but Bella's house was on the edge of Forks.
We walked to her door, and I knocked.
After about 20 seconds, to my surprise, Jacob opened the door.
He looked horrible. It looked like he hadn't slept in days and like he had been crying.
I had known Jake for years, and he never cried. He was tough. He had bags under his eyes.
"Jake, what's wrong?" I asked.
"I've just not slept much. Bella's going through a tough time, and I'm trying to help her. But I don't think I'm much help," he whispered to us.
I heard footsteps, and saw Bella coming around the corner.
Wow, if I thought Jacob looked bad then Bella looked worse.
She looked like skin and bones, in an unhealthy way. She, too, had bags under her eyes. Speaking of her eyes, they were bloodshot.
When she saw us, she hesitated. Like she didn't know if she wanted to get any closer to us.
That's when I heard Embry gasp.
