"Bells? How do you like it?" Alice asked as I looked in the portable mirror. Had to say my makeup was pretty nice. Smoky eyes, with nude lipstick and peach blush would go perfectly with my dress tonight.

"It's perfect Al's!" she grinned brilliantly as she ran her fingers through the waves in my hair and then finished getting dressed herself. Her short hair was softly curled and had a front swoop. Her eye shadow was similar to mine however she had green and black as opposed to black and grey. Alice put on her emerald green sleeveless dress and then her green heels and sat on her bed as she watched me put on my dress and navy blue heels. Ever since I've been around Alice I've been wearing a lot of heels when we went out to parties or the club but that would change tomorrow. I missed my chucks and vans tremendously. I heard a knock at the door and tried to pull the dress down but it was no use. Alice swatted at my hands, said come in and then we saw Rose looking breathtaking as usual. As I suspected her red dress hit her in all the right places and she decided to wear red and purple eye shadow which went with her dress, shoes and accessories perfectly. Her hair was also curly and almost as long as mine, it would appear. She smiled at me and I winked back.

"The boys are ready and Tanya and Maria are supposedly walking over here so they'll be here soon." Rosalie said. I looked at Alice who looked at me. We shared a silent exchange at Marias name and then we got up. We followed Rose down the stairs and almost out of the building when I stopped her. She looked at me for a minute and I held up my camera. She smiled as we posed a couple of times, seriously and then silly and finally we were ready, well after I took a few more with Alice.

For some reason the twins were allowed to have their cars on campus which of course went against policy but who was I to bring up unnecessary information. As we waited for them to show up I saw Tanya and Maria walking towards us. Tanya had on a dark blue tube dress while Maria had on pink. Had to say they looked nice but they would NEVER hear me say it. I couldn't figure out why the boys were taking so long until they made their appearance. Once again Edward looked good. He had on dark stonewash jeans, with a tight black and blue t-shirt that had some symbol on the chest with a black leather jacket, a black beanie and the same boots he had on when we went to Trinity for the first time. Emmett had on a white long sleeve shirt with three buttons at the top, that were open, dark blue jeans with a tan multi colored belt and tan boots. Jasper had on a brown fedora with a blue and brown button down shirt, dark blue skinny jeans and brown unlaced boots. In short they all looked exceptionally good and once again none of them shaved so they all looked scruffily handsome. I loved it. Alice grabbed my hand as we saw Tanya and Maria walk over to Edward and Jasper. Jasper smiled at her politely, said something but moved her hand off of his chest and walked over to us. Alice released my hand as Jasper pulled her to him and they kissed. I was grinning from ear to ear as Emmett glared at Jasper. Rosalie laughed and distracted him by feeling him up. She winked at me as Emmett's gaze locked on her. They kissed softly and then parted ways as we talked about seating arrangements. I don't know how it happened but somehow I ended up in Edward's car with Tanya and Maria while Alice and Jasper rode with Emmett and Rosalie. I really didn't mind I would just stay quiet and keep to myself until we got there.

When we pulled off I immediately felt my phone vibrate. I took it out of my pocket, which was a hassle, and smiled as I saw a text from Alice.

-it's a shame that Tanya is trying so hard to get my brothers attention when it's not going n e where. Help me keep Maria off of Jas tonight please! - A

I smiled

-u never know Al's maybe they're already dating. Don't worry I will- B

*.bzbzz

-yea right B and pigs fly while hell freezes over. See u there and sorry u had to b stuck with them- A

I laughed and then cleared my throat to cover it.

-it's alright Al's and plus I can see we're about to be there so no harm done- B

Sure enough I saw the sign for Trinity and the long lines going in opposite directions. Edward parked and Emmett pulled up beside him. They paid the car watcher and then we all got out. Alice was by my side immediately and I smiled as I interlocked arms with her. Rose, Tanya and Maria followed behind us as we walked to our line while the boys walked to theirs. As soon as we got to the front of the line I looked at Alice and we smiled. He didn't notice us yet as he asked for our id's. I cleared my throat and when he looked up his grin was amazing.

"Baby dolls! I was wondering when you two would show up! It hasn't been the same around here since that night."

"I would hope not muscles." I said as he laughed and raised the rope. Alice grabbed his tie this time and we both kissed him on his cheek.

"A guy could get used to this and make sure you come right to the front when you show up next time. I'll give you my number so you'll know if I'm working." I nodded and kissed him on his cheek again. We all smiled as we walked past him but I saw that his gaze lingered on Rose. She smiled at him and looked over her shoulder seductively as we walked past him. I saw his jaw clench and I shook my head as Rose winked. Muscles wasn't an unattractive guy, on the contrary, he was very good looking and now Rose had him transfixed. As we entered and stood on the balcony, Rose on my left Alice on my right, Tanya opened her mouth.

"I'm curious to know how you know the bouncer Bella? Did you screw him or suck him off to get in last time since I'm pretty sure you weren't 18 yet." I turned with my eyes narrowed ready to curse her out, but before I was about to Alice grabbed and squeezed my hand while pulling me to the dance floor. We started dancing with each other as I looked up and saw Maria and Tanya laughing on the balcony.

"She was just trying to get a rise out of you Bells!" Alice screamed so I could hear her.

"I know but I'm really getting tired of that bitch!" I screamed back.

"I really hope you're not talking about me." Rose said as she put her arms around my waist. I laughed and shook my head as Alice rolled her eyes with a smirk.

"Never you Rose." she kissed my cheek and made her way to the bar. I saw muscles waiting for her and I shook my head as he helped her on the stool. After awhile Alice and I started to get asked to dance and of course the drinks came with each dance. I started to feel drunk like I did before until two arms wrapped around my waist. I stiffened because I knew who was behind me. My body couldn't take to him being near me and stiffened accordingly. How the hell did he find me?

Alice was entranced by Jasper as he was her so they didn't see James near me. I screamed their names before he turned with me but they didn't hear me. I started hyperventilating as James half picked, half dragged me through the crowd. I scratched at his hands and tried to kick him but his grip only got tighter. We passed Tanya as she kissed his cheek and winked at me before her and Maria laughed back to the dance floor. I swear I was going to get that bitch back for this.

"Let me go James!" I yelled over the music. He put his face beside mine and whispered in my ear.

"No. You're coming with me Bell. It's been far too long since I had you and since I never got the chance in Forks, why not now." My eyes widened as I figured out what he meant about having me. He couldn't be serious? He dragged me to a dark corner of the club and I screamed. This was not going to happen, not to me. I fought him and screamed but no one heard me over the music and it was a lost cause when he kissed me. I bit his tongue as he put it in my mouth and his hands immediately went around my neck. He squeezed but then caught himself.

"Stop trying to piss me off Bell." he said through clenched teeth. He wedged himself in between my legs and picked me up so I was forced to stay against the pillar. I bit his neck hard but that didn't stop him from tearing off my underwear. He put his hand around my throat so I could stop biting him and then he slapped me. Tears started streaming down my face as my cheek began to hurt. He was going to do it, he was really going to do this. I glared at him through my tears and tried to push him away from me. No use. I slapped him twice but still no good. It was like my hits weren't fazing him and that scared me. I felt him slide his hand between our bodies so he could unzip his jeans and I punched at his chest for him to let me go.

"I swear to God if you touch me anymore then you are I will make sure you pay for this." I said through clenched teeth. James grinned wickedly and entered me hard and fast as I screamed. I still fought him and screamed as he pounded into me. My vagina started to hurt the more he pounded into me. The angry tears were streaming down my face as his thrusts continued. I felt numb and as I screamed as loud as I could, James was no longer in me. I fell to the ground hard and pulled my dress down as I brought my knees to my chest. I knew he wasn't in me for that long but that didn't stop how raw I felt. I held onto my chest as I scurried away from him, to a dark corner as the tears rolled down my face.

I saw Edward fighting James as Alice ran in my direction. She looked in the corner until her eyes found mine and then she held her chest. Alice took off her shoes and ran to sit beside me. She wiped my face as I saw tears streaming down hers and then she hugged me. I hugged her back as she sobbed into my shoulder. Emmett and Jasper were pulling Edward off of James when I guess he told them what he saw and they both glared at James like they saw red. I couldn't hear what they were saying to each other but at this moment I didn't care.

"I'm so sorry Bells. I looked for you and when I couldn't find you…" I smiled and hugged her tighter as more of her tears hit my shoulder. This is why Alice was my best friend because I knew she would look for me.

"I knew you would look for me Al's. You're my best friend, if anyone was looking for me it would be you." I didn't even recognize my voice as I spoke, I didn't sound myself. Alice kissed my cheek and tried to help me up after she wiped her face and mine but I shook my head.

"Give me a minute ok." I whispered tearfully as I started to clutch my chest again. She bit her lip, nodded and sat beside me as I put my head on her shoulder. I saw that James was no longer around as the boys walked towards us. I could hear Rose talking angrily to her mom with tears in her eyes while Jasper walked over to her and put his arm around her shoulders. He took the phone from her and started talking to his mother very coldly, about James and the situation I assumed. After listening to Jaspers conversation with his mom, Edward stood in front of me, stooped down and then picked me up. My arms wrapped around his neck as he held me close to him. I felt safe. He kissed my forehead and then my nose before he walked out of the corner. I kissed his neck and held onto him tightly. "Em take Tanya and Maria home for me." Edward said as Emmett nodded and kissed my cheek.

"You'll be alright B?" I gave him a thumbs up.

"You know me Em. I'm Charlie Swan's daughter. I don't have a choice but to be alright." I sounded better as he smiled, kissed my forehead and messed with my hair.

Jasper and Alice followed behind us as I felt the crowd part away to let us through. I put my head back into the crook of Edwards neck as we got outside. He handed Jasper the keys and handed me to Jasper while he got in the back.

"I can walk you know!" I said stronger as they laughed. Jasper handed me back to Edward and he put me in his lap while he held onto me. We got to our dorm pretty fast and once again Edward held onto me. When we got to our dorm door, Alice unlocked it and we all walked in with the exception of Emmett and Rosalie who weren't there yet. When Edward finally put me down I took off my shoes and I walked towards one of my drawers. I searched and found my mariners t-shirt, some snoopy boxers and a fresh pair of boy shorts before I grabbed my bath stuff and walked out of the room. I didn't speak to any of them and I left before they could ask me any questions. I bit my lip as I felt a couple of tears fall down my face. A couple of girls from our floor asked if I was alright and I smiled and told them I was fine. I walked into the bathroom, undressed and then walked into one of the shower stalls. I started washing my face, my hair and then scrubbed my body raw especially between my legs even though I was sore. Before I knew it or had time to realize that tears were slowly falling down my face, I broke down. I sat on the floor with my knees to my chest and my arms wrapped around my knees and cried. He raped me. That son of a bitch raped me and I couldn't do ANYTHING to stop him. I was happy that Edward stopped him before he could continue to savagely thrust into me or cum inside me because having him inside me for any amount of time broke me enough.

The tears continued to fall and before I knew it Alice was there. I looked at her and she smiled sadly as she came under the water with me. She pulled me up and hugged me. I knew if any male walked into this bathroom they would have had an orgasm on the spot at the sight of a naked Alice and I but at this moment I didn't care. Alice let me go and bumped her forehead against mine. I knew she was crying again.

"That fucker raped you didn't he?" I knew she didn't see what he did to me before Edward came and for that I was thankful. I nodded my head as Alice cried harder. She stopped sobbing and for awhile we just stood there with our eyes closed crying silently. I heard a knock on the door and opened my eyes. Rosalie drew back the curtain slightly, looked at us for a moment and shook her head as she sighed and closed the curtain back. I heard the shower start beside us and then I started to smell Rosalie's body wash and shampoo.

"I must say ladies for a minute I forgot I was a girl. That was extremely hot to see even if I'm totally into guys." I couldn't stop myself from laughing as Alice did the same even though she tried not to. Alice let me go and we stepped out so we could dry off. I looked at the bathroom door and saw it was locked. Why didn't I think of that? We finished drying off, got dressed and once Rosalie was finished she did the same. She put her arm around me and smiled softly.

"Are you alright Bella? Seriously?" she asked. I bit my lip and shook my head.

"No. I'm pissed that I couldn't fight him off of me." I said as tears started to fall down my face again. Rosalie wiped them away as she put her arm around my shoulders and Alice put her arm around my waist.

"I have to tell Charlie." I said as they both nodded.

We got to the room Alice and I shared and walked in. The boys had changed into sweats and t-shirts and I assumed they came back while we were in the shower. We closed the door behind us as we walked in. I heard a knock on the door and turned to answer it.

"Hey Bell. Sorry to bother you but can I see your notes from yesterdays lecture?" I looked at Samantha and smiled tiredly.

"Do you mind if I give it to you tomorrow Sam?"

"Yea. Sure. Don't forget Bella!" I nodded and closed the door once she walked away. I rested my forehead on the door and then walked towards Edward. I laid down, on my bed, beside him. He pulled me against his chest and wrapped his arms around me. At this moment I didn't care that he wasn't mine. I needed him and he understood that. Alice sat on Jaspers lap, on her bed, while Rose and Emmett sat on our bean bag chairs.

"You have to call Charlie Isabella." Edward said as he kissed the back of my still damp hair. I sighed.

"Do you guys know how hard it's going to be to tell Charlie what that bastard did to me? And knowing him he will tell my mom, Esme and Carlisle so they can at least calm him down before he finds him and kills him." They all smiled and nodded as Emmett handed me my phone, after he called my house and put it on speaker. I rested the phone beside my chest as Edward held me tighter.

"Hello?" my dad said groggily. I couldn't prevent myself from smiling. My dad's voice always made me smile.

"Hi daddy." I whispered. I could hear the smile in his voice.

"If it isn't my baby girl. How ya been kiddo?" I bit my lip and I felt myself start to sniffle. Alice sat beside my bed and wiped my tears away as they fell.

"Hi Charlie." Emmett, Edward and Alice said in unison.

"Hey kids. What's going on with Bells?"Alice started crying then as Jasper pulled her back towards him.

"For the love of all that's holy someone tell me what the fuck is going on!" My dad said as we all laughed.

"Umm. Hi Mr. Swan I'm Rosalie Hale and Bella called to tell you that she saw my cousin tonight."

"Wasn't your mom suppose to keep that son of a bitch away from my daughter?"he asked angrily. Jasper spoke this time.

"Yes sir but our mother failed to notify us that he moved to Seattle with some of his friends. He was at the same club as us tonight and honestly sir we still don't know how he knew we were there. We didn't see him in the line and I would have at least recognized him as would Bella." Jasper said. I heard my mom ask what was going on groggily behind him. My dad became serious instantly.

"You said what now son? What do you mean he was at the club with you guys?"my dad asked as he suddenly became quiet.

"What did he do Bells?" My dad always knew. I calmed down enough as everyone looked at me and waited for me to tell him.

"Daddy." I said as my voice constricted.

"Talk to me kiddo. What happened? What did he do?"I cleared my throat but it remained dry.

"He umm. He umm. He raped me tonight…at the club." The tears started to fall as I heard my mom gasp and Charlie went quiet.

"I'll be there in the afternoon Bells." I nodded as he hung up. I wiped my face as Edward held me tighter.

"I've never been so happy to be your friend in all of my life. Your dad is fucking scary Bells!" Jasper said as we all laughed. We became quiet after awhile and I couldn't take it anymore. Edward broke the silence and for that I was thankful.

"How did he know where you would be tonight?" Edward asked me. I knew but I couldn't tell any of them right now. I would bide my time for that altercation.

"It was weird. When I first noticed him I didn't recognize him. It's like I heard when you called my name but you were already walking off so I couldn't take a good look at him until I heard you scream." Alice said. I smiled. I knew she would have heard me.

"I think he may have cut his hair. Our hair gets dark like that when our hair is cut short however when it's long it looks like this." Rosalie pointed at her head as well as Jaspers. I nodded because she was right. James's hair was that short and dark when I first met him in Phoenix and that was a long time ago.

"It was your body language that clued me in to who was touching you. I was watching you all night and never once did you look uncomfortable or stiffen until then." Edward said. I smiled.

"My twin is a fucking stalker!" Emmett said as we all laughed.

"Fuck you Emmett! Your acting like you weren't watching every move Rose made especially when she started talking and dancing with the bouncer." Edward said as Emmett blushed. Rosalie narrowed her eyes and smirked as she looked at him.

"So you're the one that kept telling all those guys that you were my boyfriend. No wonder they were scared! The only one that had big enough balls and didn't give a shit was John aka muscles and that's why he got my number." Emmett got paler as we all laughed while Rose grinned. Alice rolled her eyes but couldn't prevent herself from smirking.

"Thank you." I said when the laughter died down. They all nodded and our conversation continued to brighter topics.

After awhile Rosalie and Emmett went to her room while Jasper and Edward stayed in ours. Edward didn't let me go and I have never felt as protected, with anyone other then my dad, as I did at this moment.
