Help me…Get the tie away from my wrist…Let me go….Something was holding onto my wrist. I couldn't get free next thing I need to know there was nothing then I felt a lot of heat around me. I opened my eyes. I see Esme, Alice and Rose holding me in the tightest group hug they could ever find. Why is it so easy for them to deal with their past and here is me…I can't even enjoy my 21st birthday the right way.

They notice I have made it through my breakdown. They all start to fuss with my hair and my shirt. Rose takes my shoes off. Alice is already pulling out my "relaxing pj's." Esme has helped me get off my clothes and they help me put on my other clothes. Just then I realize the song they are playing and start to breakdown again.

"I have ruined your evening." I am looking around between Alice and Rose. "You all had dates with you and I made you leave them and take care of me. Hand me the phone I need to call and apologize." I hold my hand out for a phone and Alice and Rose just come and envelope me in a hug and start laughing…What the hell? When did I turn into a comedian?

There is a knock at the door. "Ahh. What the fuck is going on?" I turn to Esme for answers.

Before she can answer the door opens and there is Jazzy peeping his head through. "Girls if you all want to change may I talk to Bells for a minute?" They all turn to look at me and I nod my head slightly. Alice and Rose squeeze my hand and then walk out the door. Esme kisses my forehead.

"I'll be out here if you need anything. I will go see if our guests want something to eat. Want to help with some cookies when you are done with that?" I try to nod but I know I look confused. What guest???

Jazzy stands at the edge of my bed, he looks confused at what to do. "You can sit next to me I won't bite but I may cry or smack your shoulder." He grins at me as he sits down and puts his arm around me to hug me.

"Baby I know you are nervous and scared; just realize we will always be here for you. Rose has let me know a little bit about what happened with you but not everything. She says what happened to you was worse then what had been done to her." He looks into my eyes with passion, anger, and sympathy. "Emmett, Edward and Carlisle are down in the living room. They don't know much of what happened to you a lot less then I do. We would like you to know that not all men are evil pricks. If you can give us a chance we want to make sure you have a good time." He is starting to tear up and I know I have tears freely rolling down from my eyes. "If not you can stay up here but know that we all love you in some way and want to help you however you will let us. Please come join us. I need someone to help me annoy Alice and Rose with Emmett. Help Us Please!"

"Yeah…what he says please Bells I really want to get to know you, Rose has nothing but praise about you please let's go have some fun. I will even carry you down like a queen is supposed to be." Emmett walks over and picks me up from Jazzy and lifts me onto one shoulder making me laugh.

"Put her down right this minute Jolly Green Giant." Alice screams at the top of her lungs causing Rose to run in and see what's going on. The sight of those two looking terrified I just lose it and start laughing.

"Thank you for the offer but can you put me down? I would like to freshen up a little and then I will be down in about ten minutes." I look down at Emmett and he winks and sits me back down gently so I am standing on my feet and grab the girls and head down the stairs.

I turn the radio on for a minute and head to the bathroom in my room to check and make sure I don't have any mascara running.

Somewhere there's a stolen halo
I use to watch her wear it well
Everything would shine wherever she would go
But looking at her now you'd never tell

Comes on the radio…I know the song before the first line is finished and I start crying more not even looking in the mirror yet.

Someone ran away with her innocence
A memory she can't get out of her head
I can only imagine what she's feeling
When she's praying
Kneeling at the edge of her bed

I back myself up against my wall and slide down crying my eyes out. I try to sing part of the chorus when it times to come up

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Holy water

It sounds more just like mumbling. About that time I feel two arms surround me and pull me into them. I don't bother even looking at them I just let them pull me in and hold on to their black shirt and cry as the song continues

She wants someone to call her angel
Someone to put the light back in her eyes
She's looking through the faces
The unfamiliar places
She needs someone to hear her when she crys

"Its okay my angel it will all be okay," he says. "No one will hurt you again I can promise you that. You have more then enough people who love you and will protect you from it." A heavenly voice whispers into my hair as brushing is softly.

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Holy water

She just needs a little help
To wash away the pain she's felt
She wants to feel the healing hands
Of someone who understands

That just makes me cry even harder and I pull myself in my knees in a ball in this lap. I am too scared to see who has saved me from my fears right now.

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me
And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Holy water

The song has been over for who knows how long and I open my eyes to try and wake up from my dream but it isn't a dream. That sex god from the club is in my bathroom holding me and rocking me.

I lift my hands up to wipe the tears I know that are running down my cheeks and before I can get them he has a piece of toilet paper and is wiping my tears away. I feel the blood racing to my cheeks as I try to get out a smile.

"Thanks, I am sorry for using your shirt to cry on." I start to get up and head to my closet. "Here, let me get a shirt you can use so you don't have to wear that soaked one." I reach into the top of my closet as I try to reach a bag of shirts I had gotten my dad for Christmas to update his wardrobe of plaid. I hand him one that I think would fit him and head back into my bathroom to get my washcloth that has been sitting in cold water.

I watch him in the mirror as he turns to face me and smiles as he takes his other shirt off. Oh my, look at those abs. I think that's more of a case then a 6-pack. His jeans are low on his hips. I lick my lips as I watch him grab for the shirt he accidentally placed behind him and he turns around and reaches for it….Oh my what a great butt…I wonder if it feels as good as it looks. He turns back around and pulls the shirt on over his head. I see him look straight into my eyes thru the mirror and he smiles. Not the normal smile like most guys this one is a crooked smile that immediately makes me want to turn around and forget about anyone else in this house.

"I will wait right here until you are done then I will walk you downstairs." He speaks again. "By the way I didn't get to properly introduce myself. I am Edward Masen and you are Bella, right?"

I nod and then bring the washcloth up to my face…Breathe…1…2….oh what comes after 2... I feel my face get cool so I take the rag off. I look in the mirror and use the rag to remove my make-up…Good thing Alice and Rose got me waterproof mascara. I lay the rag on the sink and head out of the bathroom.

I turn around and walk towards Edward as he reaches his hand out to pull me in for a hug. "It looked like you could use one." I smile into his chest…Hell yes every girl could use a serving of this all the time…

"Bella the others will be sending a search party up for you if you don't come down here soon." Esme peaks her head in the room. As she says this Edward and me separate like magnets do. She turns around and walks off shaking her head.

"I guess I better join everyone since this is my birthday" I look at him and say. He nods and puts his hand out for me to lead the way.
