All of this belongs to Stephenie Meyer

Don't bother,I'm on my way up.

I heard Carlisle's thoughts before I saw him. He was quitely walking up the stairs with an uncomfortable look on his face. He clearly wasn't sure how to go about this.

He stopped at the doorway,before looking over at Edward.

Did she talk to you at all about this?

I shake my head before casting a worried glance into the room. She was still tosing and turning in her sleep and her heart was still beating erraticly.

"Can you help her?" I ask,before looking back at Carlisle,aware of the desperate tone in my voice.

He shakes his head,before looking down at the floor.

"I don't know yet." He said. It was unusual to see him like this,without the calm expression that was always on his face.

"I don't really have any experiance talking to anybody about this sort of thing. But I'll try Edward."

With that,he turns and noislessly enters the room. He pulls a chair to the foot of the bed and takes and seat there.

"Wake her,please." He says as he rubs his temples gently.

I nod and crouch down on the floor next to Bella.

"Bella?" I say softly as I touch her arm. She shudders at my touch and her eyes flash wildly across the room. After a moment,her face turns calm.

"Where am I,Edward?" She asks,noticing Carlisle waiting at the foot of the bed. "What's Carlisle doing here?"

"Your in Alice's room and he's here to talk to you about-"I pause,deciding not to bring it up until we had to."-what happened. How are you feeling?"

"I've been better,that's for sure. Where is Alice?" She asks,but before she can finish,Alice looks into the room.

"I'm right here Bella,don't worry about it." With that,her head disappears from view.

"Now Bella." Carlisle interupts. "Let's talk about what happened. Do you want to start?"

Bella hesitates before speaking,but when she did, the words spilled out quickly,and any human would have trouble keeping up.

"I was still at Mike's when I called Edward to come pick me up. I was using Jennifer's phone since I left mine at home. When I walked outside to wait for him,I heard Mike call me over." Her voice broke and I could tell she trying not to cry.

"I shrugged and walked over to the corner he was calling me from. As soon as I reached it and was out of sight,Tyler and Eric grabbed me and pushed me down onto the ground and held me there. Mike kept telling to keep quite and it would all be over quicker. When I begged him to stop,he hit me." The tears were streaming down her face freely now.

"They said that Edward wasn't here to help me and that I couldn't stop it. I begged him. I begged him..."Her voice grew distant as she repeated the last part over and over.

"Bella? baby?" I ask,my voice showing the worry I was feeling. She showed no sign of hearing me,but she did wrap her arms around me and pulled herself against my chest.

She looked up at me,tears welling up around her beautiful brown eyes.

"Please don't let if happen again Edward. Please."

My nostrils flared as I thought about what they had done to her,causing her to react like this. It would be easy. Extremely so,in fact. She wouldn't have too see it. And it's not like they don't deserve it. The more I thought about it,the more appaling it seemed.

"Edward..." Alice said warningly. "They aren't worth it. Trust me. What would Bella think ab- wait don't answer that. Let's just wait before we do anything...Rash."

"She's right,Edward." Carlisle chimed in from across the room. "Wait a little while before you decide to do anything. See how she acts at school,with Charlie. Those kind of things. If anything happens,just bring her back here to talk to me."

We can talk about changing her in private.

I nod at him as he gets up and casts a worried glance at Bella and exits the room.

"Let's just let her rest for now."Alice says,now leaning against the door frame. "We both know she needs it. Let's talk about this tomorrow,when she wakes up."

I nod before settling into the bed next to Bella,her arms already wrapping around me as if to prevent me from leaving.

I turn my head towards Bella and whisper into her ear "I love you,Bella." as her eyes close.
