Chapter 6

The cold air was bowing in my face, my hair, flowing back in the wind as I snuggled myself more into Edwards back. We had been driving for about 10 minutes now, I was about to ask where we were going when he turned onto a dirt road.

"We're almost there" He said

I just nodded. We came to a stop and Edward helped me off the back of the bike. He kept my hand in his, as he led me towards the forest.

"Are you going to kill me and hide my body in the forest or something?" I joked after a few minutes of walking deeper into the Forest.

"Maybe" He chucked as he moved a tree branch out of the way, showing us a small meadow. It was absolutely magical. I gasped and turned to Edward.

"Oh my god! This place is so beautiful! How did you find this?" I gushed, my eyes tearing up. I was always over emotional when I was in P.M.S. mode.

"Well, I was even more pissed at the world then usual. It was a few months after I came to Forks. I had walked into the house after school one day and saw Esme and Carlisle dancing in the kitchen, with no music, Carlisle was just humming softly. When I saw that it just triggered something. I had thought, this shouldn't be Esme and Carlisle. This should be my mother, my mother should be alive. This should be my father, my father shouldn't be some sick fucked up person that molested his son for years, raped and murdered his wife, tried to rob a bank, and is now rotting in prison. That should have been my parents I saw dancing together when I came in from school. I just dropped my bag and ran out the door. I was out all night just walking through the forest. Right as the sun was rising I came into this clearing. I skipped school and just thought about random things that whole day. Nobody even knows this place exists, only you and I." He told me.

I looked up at him and saw the sadness in his eyes. I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around his waist, snuggling my head into his chest. We just stayed like that until Edward broke the silence.

"You know what one of the saddest part about my mothers death is though?"

"What?" I asked

"When they pulled up all her medical records, they told me she had just gone to the doctor and found out she was 14 weeks pregnant, with a little girl. I would have been a big brother to a sweet innocent little girl, but no that sick bastard I used to call dad, killed her too."

"Edward…I am so sorry. You would have been a great brother, you may act like a tough bad ass but I can see past it, I can see that you're tender and loving and have a big heart. Right now you're just lost and needs help but doesn't know how to ask for it. I know you haven't known me even a week, but do know that we CAN relate to each other, and WE can help each other, if we just trust each other." I told him.

He just nodded and pulled me tighter to him, as if he had to make sure I was really there, and he wasn't alone.

I don't know how long we stood there holding each other but I could care less. I looked up at the now clear sky only to see it was twilight.

"It's Twilight" I said breaking the silence.

Edward looked up. "Yeah I guess it is. Well we wouldn't want to be out here in the dark lets head back."

"I don't want to go home yet" I told him.

"Who said I was taking you home?" He smirked

I unwrapped my arms from his waist. And pulled his arm towards the way we had come from.

"Why do you wear all these bracelets?" Edwards asked as we walked through the forest hand in hand.

"Um, well… those cover the scars from where I cut myself. I tried to stop about 6 months ago and I was doing well until about 2 ½ - 3 months ago. It was a really bad night that night, Phil and my mom weren't the only ones that made my life a living hell you know."

"Why did you start cutting yourself in the first place? What happened, I thought it was just Phil hurting you then your mom well just being her."

"Well, You know the sexual abuse started at 13, well, you know when most people are raped they go into a depression, keep to themselves, well I was so freaked out and worried that if anyone especially Em, Jazz or my dad, found out that they would think less of me or even shun me, so I actually went out for the cheerleading team, became captain, became popular. I was so popular back there that I could walk into school in a garbage bag and everyone would think it was so cute, then the next day they would show up wearing one. So it was easy to hide marks when we weren't cheering, and when we were, there was make-up. Well my freshman year, I was cheering. We were at the state championships, cheering for our Varsity team. We scored the winning touchdown right at the end of the game and everyone rushed out on the field to the team. I was celebrating with my so called friends when I felt someone was behind me, I turned and saw this junior, he was quarterback, his name was James.

We got to talking and he asked me to go to a party. I decided why not. Well he was really sweet…at the beginning. We got together after the party and I was proud to be called his girlfriend. James never knew what Phil did and Phil never knew about James. We had been going out for about a year when he hit me. We were at a party, He was high, I was drunk. I thought nothing of it. Well he started doing more and more drugs, more and more often, which caused the beatings to be more often. Then it got to the point where he would rape me. So not only was I raped by my step father but also my boyfriend. I couldn't tell anyone, I mean who would believe me, plus he always threatened me. Well since James got more and more into drugs he decided to sell them, eventually he got caught selling them and was sent to jail for 2 or 3 years. He was sent to jail 6 months ago, which was when I stopped cutting. I had originally started because I just hated what my life was. At some points I wished I would accidentally cut to deep and die. But then my dad, Emmett or Jasper would pop into my head and I'd think 'I can't leave them, what would they think of me? Would they blame themselves? Would they hate me?' I put an end to cutting myself when I had accidently cut to deep. My only true friend, Justin had found me, he had saved my life."

"Wow, I thought you had told me everything back on the beach, but wow. I am so sorry someone as sweet as you had to go through that. You do know that Emmett, Jasper and your father love you very much and want you to be able to trust them. They won't shun you for what has happened in the past. Sure they'll be pissed, but not at you. They'll want to go kick Phil and James' ass just like me. Try and open up to them. As much as I love that you can trust me when only knowing me a short while, you need to trust your family, they want you to let them in. Try talking to them about it. I don't want you turning out like me" Edward said helping me onto the motorcycle.

"I will if you try and open up to Carlisle, Esme and Alice. They just want to help you and see you happy… oh and no matter what anyone says, please hang around. Don't stay away from me because… I don't know why but I just trust you…and I…well I really like you" I said leaning in and giving him a peck on the cheek.

Edward sat there for a moment, I think he was a little dazed, but he snapped out of it and hopped on his motorcycle. We just drove around town; I stayed snuggled into his back trying to keep warm. We decided to call it a night around 10. As we pulled up to my house I saw 3 figures looking out the window. Edward got off then helped me off.

"Goodnight Bella, I'll try to be more open with Carlisle, Esme and Alice…and don't worry I'm not going anywhere anytime soon." He bent down and gave me peck on the cheek just as I had earlier.

"Good and I'll try to open up and not be afraid of what Em, Jazz and my dad think. Goodnight Edward" I made a brave move and gave him a chaste kiss on the lips as he started up his motorcycle. I watched as he drove back down the street and left. I looked back at the house and groaned. Great I have to deal with 3 over protective guys. I know they mean well but come on!

As soon as I walked in the door they yelling started. I just covered my ears until they noticed I wasn't listening and stopped their rants.

"Good evening to you too" I told them.

"Where the hell were you? You just disappeared during lunch!" Emmett yelled.

"Well correct me if I'm wrong but, didn't your little Rosie call me a whore…no wait she was scared to call me that, instead she called me what was it? Jazz, could you help me out?"

Jazz looked at me then mumbled something

"What was that?"

"She called you a cunt" he groaned

"Once again, it was 'Rosie before my little sister' I don't ask any of you for anything except letting me stay here. But when my older brothers girlfriend calls me a cunt, slut, whore or anything vulgar and my brother defends her when he should be defending his little sister, that hurts. That cuts me deeply. You don't know half the shit I've gone through since I was taken from you, against my will! I always thought ya'll were the best big brothers a girl could ask for, especially you Em, my big teddy bear, but when they wont defend their little sister when she needs it, why should she even consider them her brothers? Huh? Why should she when she knows their Girlfriend is always going to come first? I mean if I had a boyfriend that was constantly doing what Rose has been doing to me, I would of either dropped them or put them in their place, because MY family comes first, doesn't family mean anything to you?" My speech was a mere whisper by the end, silent tears spilling out my eyes pleading for them to understand, why I was upset with them and why I left. No one said anything we all just looked at each other.

"Well if there's nothing else to be said, I'm going to bed." I turned to walk out but someone grabbed hold of my arm. I turned hoping it was my Emmy-bear but it was only Jasper. That rant wasn't even aimed at him, it was for Emmett, and yet Emmett didn't do anything. I couldn't believe him.

"Bells, I know that this isn't the only time you've said you've gone through a lot of shit since you've been gone… What happened after mom took you?"

"I can't talk about it right now, and even if I could, I wouldn't talk about it here and now, because I know that someone would say it was my fault, or maybe that I deserved it." I said giving a pointed look at Emmett.

"I'm going to bed now. Goodnight Jazz, night dad" I said totally leaving Emmett out. If he wasn't going to show the big brother support I needed when he knew something was wrong with me, why should I even waste my breath on him, If something happens why would he take my side, I mean why should he need me if he Rose. Apparently she is all he needs, and if that's the case, then so be it. Emmett Swan won't have to worry about his little sister anymore, because he no longer has a little sister.

JazzPOV

I watched Bella walk out of the Cafeteria in shock. I couldn't believe Rose had said that, why did she hate my little Bella so much? Why didn't Emmett put her in her place, why isn't he making sure Bella's ok?

"What the hell Rose? Why do you hate my little Bellsy so much, she just came into town, she hasn't done anything to you. You go around being a bitch to her as soon as she comes to see her big brothers! Why do you have to call my sister such vulgar names? Why?" I yelled. I then turned to Emmett "Em, could you be anymore of an inconsiderate ass! You have LET your girlfriend walk all over your little sister. The one that used to call every night and talk to you for hours, and would laugh every time you laughed. You let Rose call her a whore, slut and now added to the list is cunt! What type of fucking brother are you?!? Do you not care about your baby sister?"

"Jazz, don't pull that shit on me, you know I care for her!" He yelled back at me

"Then why have you been letting Rose step all over her, why haven't you been taking her side, your always taking Rose's side, and more importantly she just walked out with CULLEN!" I yelled running out the cafeteria, hoping that he didn't take off with her. I ran out in the parking lot only to see the tail lights of a motorcycle. Great, just great. I didn't go back in the cafeteria, when the bell rang to go to 6th period I just got up and went hoping Bella would be at the house when I got home. The rest of the day passed slowly I gave Emmett the silent treatment. He didn't deserve a sister a great as Bella. I was so pissed that he'd put his girlfriend before his sister. It was kind of like that bro's before hoe's rule, only Bella wasn't a brother, she was a sister.

The ride home was torture there was so much tension in the air. We pulled up and I noticed Charlie was home, that was unusual.

I walked into the living room and dropped down into the recliner

"What's up, dad?"

"Nothin, Is Bella cooking dinner?"

"I don't know"

"Well could you go ask her, I was thinking about ordering pizza and having Billy and Jake come up."

"I can't ask her, she's not here"

"Why? Where the hell is she?"

She ran off with Cullen during lunch. Rose called her a cunt and Emmett didn't even defend her. When Rose called her a slut and a whore last night, and she attacked Rose… Emmett took Rose's side and got pissed at Bella. Emmett's being a Fucking Pigheaded ass!" I said raising my voice so Emmett could hear me.

"Well great, just great… she ran off with the Cullen boy"

"Dad, I think something's wrong with Bella"

"How so?"

"Well, Emmett had mentioned to me how he found out she used to cut herself, she stopped about 3 months ago, would have been longer but she relapsed for some reason, wouldn't say why. Plus I've heard her say 'you don't know half the shit I've gone through.' Something's wrong, and apparently Edward, understands and relates to her. She won't tell us anything. She's not my little Bellsy anymore" I said

"Well, as much as we want to know what has been going on we can't force it out of her, we have to just let her know that we're here for here, and hopefully she'll get over this Cullen thing. Hopefully she'll be here soon."

No one talked, dad, Em, and I just waited around. As each hour passed I got more and more worried. What if she went back to mom and Phil? What if she ran off with Edward? What if she's hurt? My thoughts were interrupted though by the sound of a motorcycle, Edward's motorcycle. I sighed in relief, glad to know she was ok, that relief though turned into anger when I saw him kiss her cheek, then right when I thought he was about to take off, she kissed him on the lips! The lips! My baby sister, and…CULLEN! Ughh! He is so not worth her time, why do all the guys have to want her? My thoughts were, again, interrupted by her coming in the house facing us. I yelled at her, relieved that she was home, and not to just take off like that again while Emmett and dad were yelling profanities about skipping school and being with Edward. She just covered her ears though.

"Good evening to you too" She said after we all quieted down.

"Where the hell were you? You just disappeared during lunch!" Emmett yelled.

"Well correct me if I'm wrong but, didn't your little Rosie call me a whore…no wait she was scared to call me that, instead she called me what was it? Jazz, could you help me out?"

I looked at her and mumbled it, I really didn't want to repeat the word, I wasn't one for using vulgar language and tried my best to not use it, especially with ladies around.

"What was that?"

"She called you a cunt" I groaned

"Once again, it was 'Rosie before my little sister' I don't ask any of you for anything except letting me stay here. But when my older brothers girlfriend calls me a cunt, slut, whore or anything vulgar and my brother defends her when he should be defending his little sister; that hurts. That cuts me deeply. You don't know half the shit I've gone through since I was taken from you, against my will! I always thought ya'll were the best big brothers a girl could ask for, especially you Em, my big teddy bear, but when they wont defend their little sister when she needs it, why should she even consider them her brothers? Huh? Why should she when she knows their Girlfriend is going to come first? I mean if I had a boyfriend that was constantly doing what Rose has been doing to me, I would of either dropped them or put them in their place, because MY family comes first, doesn't family mean anything to you?" She finished in just a whisper, silent tears rolling down her cheeks, I couldn't stand to know that my baby sister was upset, I just wanted to wrap her in a big hug and never let go, she would always be safe in her big brother's arms. I could see her trying to plead with her eyes to have us (Emmett) understand what she meant. Even though what she said was meant for Emmett, I still couldn't help but feel guilty. I mean, I could have tried to stop Rose, would she have listened, no, she just would have talked over me, but I still could have tried and I didn't.

"Well if there's nothing else to be said, I'm going to bed." She turned to walk out but I grabbed hold of her arm. She turned and I think she was a little surprised to see me. She probably expected it to be her brother bear, but no, he was to busy being an ass.

"Bells, I know that this isn't the only time you've said you've gone through a lot of shit since you've been gone… What happened after mom took you?" hopefully I could get out what went down when she was with mom.

"I can't talk about it right now, and even if I could, I wouldn't talk about it here and now, because I know that someone would say it was my fault, or maybe that I deserved it." She said giving a pointed look at Emmett. Great, so we would have a better chance of hearing what happened if it hadn't been for Emmett being a dense asshole.

"I'm going to bed now. Goodnight Jazz, night dad" She said totally leaving Emmett out. I could tell she wasn't going to forgive Emmett easily. It was going to take a lot of sucking up. Once I knew she was upstairs I turned to Emmett and finally spoke to him.

"You're a stupid ass, Emmett. Look at her, our baby sister was crying, crying because her big brother didn't defend her, you took the Rose's side instead of your own flesh and blood. I can't believe you!"

"Ah, shut the hell up! Don't give me that shit! You don't know what Rose has been through. You don't know why she's like that to people!"

I cut him off "And you don't think Bella his issues either! If she can relate to Edward in some way, shape or form, it's got to be pretty damn bad! You need to figure out who's more important at this moment, what is more important at this moment! Do you want to lose your sister, I can tell its going to take a hell of a lot to get her to forgive you and the more you wait, or the more you screw up the harder it will be. If I were you I wouldn't want to lose my baby sister, because she is one f THE most important woman in my life"

"More important then Alice?"

"In some ways yes, others no. Alice and Bella mean the same, I can't function right without either of them, knowing that one of them is mad at me nearly kills me. Just think about it, do you want to lose Bella, because that's what's happening, and once it's happened, it's happened." I said walking upstairs to check on Bella, and then get some rest myself.
