Not So Innocent
Disclaimer:

Summary:
"The pain and anger was swallowing me up, pulling me into darker forces I didn't know existed. And that was the problem. I was innocent. Young. Naïve. But I wouldn't be for long. I'd show him." BxE Two shot
A/N So I'm aware that this is insanely short. But I didn't want it to drag...
The vibrations of the music thundered through the walls, the sounds pumping through the veins of the occupants.
Bella Swan threw open the door, her face an angry mask. Walking into the smoky atmosphere, she squinted her eyes trying to adjust to the darkened rooms, her head turning in different directions, her neck craning.
"Kevin!" Bella called out once she saw him with two other guys, making her way towards them. Kevin smiled upon seeing her and stood up, slinging his arm around her shoulders as she approached them.
"Hey Bells – bunked off I see…"
"Yeah – ran into that ex I told you about. I can't deal with all that shit right now" Bella sighed, leaning against Kevin, her arm going around his waist.
"How about I fix you up with something to help you with this shit…" Kevin said to Bella softly, looking down on her. Bella looked up into his eyes, gratitude evident on her features.
"Will you? Nothing too bad though Kev – just something that'll help me get over this…" Kevin nodded before placing a kiss on Bella's forehead, squeezing her shoulders and walking off.
Bella collapsed onto the couch where Kevin's two friends were seated on, letting her head fall back onto the furniture closing her eyes.
Edward, Emmett and Alice walked into the house, wincing at the potent smell of drugs and alcohol mixed.
"What the hell is she even doing in a place like this?" Emmett asked
"Isn't it obvious? Jackass over there obviously broke her heart beyond repair – she's trying to heal the only way humans can…" Alice stated, glaring at Edward for having gotten them into this mess
"How was I meant to know she was going to turn to alcohol? She promised me that she wasn't going to do anything reckless – I believed her…" Edward said, looking around him, watching the drunk inhabitants.
"You broke your promises – why shouldn't she break hers…"
"Guys – I think we should stop arguing about whose fault it is. We've got a human to save here. We can't let her take that drug…" Emmett said.
"There's too many people in here – her smell seems distorted. What with all the drugs and booze around it's harder to pick out. Everything just seems to blend in…" Edward shook his head. Not once before had he had a hard time in picking out his love's scent.
"It's a good thing Jasper didn't come…" Alice murmured to herself
"Here you go Bells…" Kevin reappeared; his hand held out open a few pills inside them.
"I thought you were getting me some drinks – I don't do drugs Kevin, you know that…" Bella said, confused as to why Kevin was offering her the pills.
"This'll help you forget them – trust me Bells…"
Bella looked uncertainly up at Kevin. She did trust him – he had been her rock for the past few months. When Edward wasn't there, Kevin was. He was the one who told her she didn't have to mope around. He was the one who helped her rebuild some of her confidence.
Why shouldn't she trust him?
"It's becoming clearer you guys – he's offering them to her. She's thinking about taking them. So far I've got her saying yes…" Alice said as she made her way through the stoned teenagers
"And when she says yes…?" Edward didn't need to continue the sentence – he knew very well what would happen if she said yes. He had seen it with his own eyes through Alice's mind. It was the reason they came back – he couldn't - wouldn't - let her go through that pain.
"Those pills will make her unconscious within fifteen minutes – he'll take her to the room then. We haven't got much time…" Alice said frantically
Edward and Emmett nodded before walking briskly into the direction where Bella's scent was strongest.
Bella opened her mouth and placed the pills on her tongue. She swallowed and watched as Kevin smiled at her
"Don't worry Bells – in a few minutes you won't feel a thing…"
A shiver ran through Bella's spine making her shudder. What did he mean? Why wouldn't she feel a thing? She had never done drugs before but she knew that they weren't meant to make you unable to feel a thing.
"What do you-" Bella was cut off as all of a sudden she felt light headed. The room was spinning and she couldn't place where exactly Kevin was. She tried to stand up; however, her legs gave way and she flopped back down on the seat.
Her mind screamed at her that something was wrong – that this wasn't meant to happen; however, Bella's body refused to respond to her desperate pleas. She could feel someone picking her up and carrying her somewhere. She tried to resist, tried to move but her body was paralysed.
Bella opened her mouth, trying to scream but no sound came out. She couldn't resist.
Hazy sounds and images were tormenting her, she could barely see. Faint sounds of laughter, music, voiced – plaguing her mind.
She needed an escape – but this wasn't an escape. This wasn't what she needed. This wasn't what she wanted.
What was going on?
What were in those pills?
Bella was thrown down, a searing pain flowing through her body as her fragile self made contact with the hard floor.
She tried to cry out in pain – and inwardly she was, however, no sound escaped.
A familiar face hovered over her, she couldn't place him, but he was familiar.
Warm flesh touched her face, stroking her cheek. Her eyes were getting heavy – she was unable to keep them open. They were dropping involuntary.
"Soon Bells – soon you won't feel a thing…" the words were hard to make out, but they were said and heard.
Bella tried to open her eyes, tried to move her body, tried to call out for help
She couldn't
She was trapped in a motionless body
The sounds she strained to hear faded away
She was fading
Bella Swan wanted an escape
Instead she was thrust into a world filled with blackness
A world she couldn't escape from
The door flung open, a furious Edward lunged forward, pulling the teenage boy off of his Bella.
His rage was burning, never had he felt so filled with hatred before. Never had he experienced the anger burn through his veins, pumping his adrenaline through his body. He saw red, he was like a bull wanting, needing a fight.
His fist drew back, repeatedly hitting the boy who dared to hurt his angel.
"Edward!" he could hear Emmett's and Alice's shouts and feel the force of them trying to restrain him. But he had too much rage. He was going to kill the boy who hurt his angel.
"Edward!" Emmett pulled with all of his strength against Edward, pulling him off the unconscious boy. Both he and Alice held Edward down trying to calm him
"Edward – you can't kill him. He's probably already severely injured – but you can't kill him. Think of Bella Edward – she needs you now…"
Edward calmed down at the mention of his Bella. His head tilted towards the side and he took in the fragile brunette. Standing up, he stepped slowly towards her.
Nothing happened
The boy didn't have enough time
Bella was safe
"She'll wake up in a minute…" Alice stated.
Edward nodded, pulling the unconscious Bella into his lap.
"I love you Bella…" he whispered
--
Bella stirred, feeling a force pull her out of her haze. She opened her eyes slowly adjusting to the bright light.
And she saw him
A face of an angel
"What happened…?" her voice was hoarse.
Edward ran his hand through her hair lovingly
"That friend of yours gave you a pill which made you unconscious. Alice had a vision that he was…" Edward's voice broke and he closed his eyes.
Bella nodded, understanding his unsaid sentence. She held her hand up to his face and stroked his face, relishing in the cold skin.
"Thank you…" she whispered
"No problem – now rest my love…"
"I love you" Bella whispered just before her eyes closed, eliciting a radiant smile from Edward.
A/N So it is kind of dark and everything - but I did say that it was going to be. Anyway, review please and tell me what you thought
