Edward jumps up, glass in hand, as Bella walks through the door.
Something's not right.
She's late.
His stomach drops at the sight of her.
Tears and makeup.
Mixed with blood.
Bruises and welts forming.
Her clothes dirty and torn.
He's panic and dread.
Dread because he knows.
In his gut, he knows what she's going to say.
"Please, please, please," a desperate prayer on his lips.
She is his world and those three small words will kill him.
Breathing hard, on the brink of hyperventilating.
Fresh tears.
She crumbles.
"I was raped."
His glass hits the floor.
His world.
