"You're both so cold why?" I asked them as they stood in front of me while I was sitting on the lounge. They looked at each other and grinned

"Because Anna we're vampires" Emmett said as he and Edward launched themselves at me.

I screamed and sat up in bed with a cold sweat my blankets were twisted up around my legs and my pillows were on the floor. I hugged my knees to my chest and sat back against the head board of my bed trying to remember what my nightmare had been about

"Honey what's wrong?" I jumped and looked beside me and saw someone lying next to me, I looked up and realized I wasn't in my bed.

"I um I had a bad dream" I whispered softly trying to clear my head so I could figure out who was asleep next to me. And where the fuck I was.

"You were saying something about some Edward and Emmett" he said rubbing my legs trying to comfort me. "Are you seeing someone else behind my back?" then it hit me it was James.

"W... where am I?" I asked pulled away from him. He grabbed my ankle so I couldn't get up.

"You're in our bed in our house" he said pulling me back towards him and wrapping his arms tightly around me.

"But I, I was at Jake's when I fell asleep" I said looking up at James confused. I tensed as his hand started to move down my stomach to the top of my panties.

"Mm you were but I came and got you. Jake rang me and told me you passed out on the lounge" he said as he started to kiss my neck.

"Stop please" I said trying to move his hand away from me.

"you never let me touch you and now your dreaming of other guys what am I supposed to do just let you have your dreams while I lay here and listen?" he growled grabbing my hand and pinned it between us as he laid on top of me.

"It was a bad dream, please stop I'm scared" I said trying to pull away as his hand slipped between my legs.

"Why you're so wet, your panties are soaked through" he whispered into my ear as his hand slowly moved up and down. I tried to moved away again but he put all his weight on me I gasped at the pressure, he pushed my legs apart grabbing my hands he held them above my head in one of his as his fingers found the top of my panties and ripped them off.

"Stop" I whimpered as his grip on my hands became tighter. He didn't listen he pulled down his boxers and rubbed the length of himself up and down me.

"Your mouth says no but your body says yes." he said before thrusting hard and fast into me.

I screamed as loud as I could till a hand covered my mouth it hurt everything hurt.

"Anna it's just a bad dream" a soft soothing voice said gently. My eyes flew open I had legs pressed together so tight and my hands had balled into fists in my sheets. I felt tears fall from my eyes when I realized it was Edward sitting beside me with his cold hand over my mouth. I pulled away jumping off the bed I moved as far away as possible flattening myself against the wall.

"H... how did you get in?" I whispered wrapping my arms around myself to try and stop from shaking

"I heard you scream so I ran up here your door was open" he said standing up but not moving closer. I heard footsteps I looked up and saw Jake standing at my door.

"What did you do to her?" Jake asked squaring himself up to Edward with a furious look in his eyes

"I didn't do anything I swear she was having a bad dream" he said turning to face Jake.

"Get out and leave her alone" Jake said walking in my room and standing in front of me.

"Jake I swear I didn't do anything to her" he pleaded

"I don't believe you" Jake said turning away from Edward and faced me. "Are you okay Anna?" I nodded I looked past Jake and saw Edward jump over my bed and grabbed Jake I screamed as Jake pushed me out of the way just as Edward pushed Jake against the wall. My head hit my bed side table as I fell to the floor I tried to get up to pull Edward away from Jake but the room started to spin.

"I didn't do anything to her" Edward growled at Jake as he held him by the throat. My eyes moved to the door I saw jasper standing there looking at me, he turned his head and called something out. I looked back to Jake and Edward. Jake had his hands around Edwards's neck.

"stop" I whispered but they didn't hear me I looked back towards the door and saw Esme and Carlisle run in Carlisle grabbed Edward and dragged him out of my room Jake stood against the wall looking like he was trying to control his breathing Esme was on her knees in front of me looking at my head I frowned but that seemed to make my head hurt. I reached up to touch my head and felt something warm and slippery on my fingers I pulled them away and saw blood on my fingers. Sound came back to me it was so loud I could hear Alice screaming and yelling from outside.

"it's okay Annabelle come with me and we'll get you fixed up" I heard Esme say I looked up at her, her face was full of worry she put her arm around me and helped me up she lead me out the door. Jasper backed away from me as if I had the plague, Esme lead me down the stairs and into the kitchen she made me sit down as she went to get Carlisle. Jake walked into the kitchen and sat beside me I could feel the blood slowly moving down the side of my head I closed my eyes as the pain was worse than it had been when I had fallen down the stairs

"You okay? I'm sorry I pushed you I just didn't want you to get hurt, but I guess you did" he said playing with his hands. I didn't say anything I just sat still and looked down. There was a loud crack outside and a flash of lightening I jumped turning around to look outside the glass sliding door.

"It's okay it's just the storm." Jake said putting his hand on my arm I looked at him and frowned at him.

"Jake back to bed now" jasper said walking into the kitchen with Carlisle I turned away from the door and stared down at the bench.

"Yes dad" Jake said getting up and walking out.

"How are you Anna?" Carlisle asked I just shrugged and looked back down at my hands in my lap. Jasper sat next to me as Carlisle grabbed a bowel and some warm water.

"The paper towels are in the cupboard" jasper said as he rubbed my back. I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. Everything went black and cold I felt a blanket wrap around me and the cold had gone away.

I opened my eyes slowly to see I was in an empty room there were chairs on either side of the bed and the walls were white I tilled my head a little in confusion I was half laying and half sitting I moved my arm but it felt heavy I looked down and saw I had a drip in my arm, I looked around the room I was in and noticed I was in a hospital room I groaned as my head started to spin. The door opened and someone walked in. great just what I needed people.

"Hello Anna, how are you feeling?" I looked over and saw a nurse walking towards me. I shrugged not wanting to talk I turned my head away from her and looked out the window it was the early hours of the morning, the sun struggled to get through the rain clouds it looked like I felt outside. The nurse checked my drip and walked back out of the room. I sighed and sat forward in bed and I put my hand to my head and felt a small bandage wrapped around my head I pulled my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms them.

"How are you feeling?" I looked up and saw Esme standing in the door way as if to wait for my permission to come in I smiled as a way to tell her to come in.

"I'm okay I think" I said softly not sure if I spoke loud enough for her to hear me I frowned at my croaky voice.

"What do you mean you think is there something wrong?" she asked practically gliding over to my bed and sitting down next to me taking my hand in hers.

"No nothing's wrong just I have no idea I feel numb" I said looking down at my blanket covered feet.

"If there is anything you want to talk about I'm here for you. Your mother was one of my very good friends" she said rubbing my arm. For some reason I felt like I could tell Esme anything and everything. She was so motherly so was Alice but there was something about Esme that said nice hot chocolate and a warm blanket to put me to sleep.

"I've just I'm so lost and confused and scared" I said looking up into her eye

"What has you scared sweetie?" she asked softly I looked down at my hands and fought with myself whether to tell her or not. Mother and father hadn't even known what James had done to me til it was too late to do anything. In the end the side of me that fought not to tell lost.

"I'm scared that James is going to come back and hurt me like he did before" I whispered closing my eyes to stop from tearing up.

"What do you mean before? What did this James do to you to make you so scared honey?" she asked taking my hands in hers and making me look at her.

"About three months before mum and dad were in the accident, I met James I thought he was a good guy till one night I guess I did something wrong and he hit me. After that he just he used to take his anger out on me I thought and still think I did something wrong and now he's found me again I'm so scared Esme I don't know if he had anything to do with my parents death or not." I said feeling like a weight had been lifted but the tears fell I lost control of my own body. She pulled me into her arms and hugged me tight rocking me back and forth as I cried my eyes out.

After I had finished crying Esme still held me.

"Honey nothing was your fault he just had anger issues. He took it out on you because you were the only one in his life he thought he could control." she said rubbing my arm, I nodded slowly and wiped my eyes. "You have nothing to worry about he won't find you"

"He already has." I said my voice coming out all shaky. Esme went quiet she kept rocking me I yawned after a bit she got up and laid me down pulling the blankets up over me as if to tuck me in. I smiled a little at her kindness towards me.

"Please don't tell anyone only Jake knows what James did" I said looking up at her with tired eyes.

"I won't tell anyone but if you have anything else you ever want to talk about I'm here" she said kissing my forehead before walking out the door, I yawned again closing my eyes I slowly started to fall asleep.

"Edward don't you dare go in there she has been through enough" I heard Esme say I opened my eyes and saw the door was open a little.

"I just want to make sure she's okay. Mum you've been here all day I want to see her Emmett said he got to see her but she was asleep" I heard Edward say I saw him trying to get past Esme.

"Edward Anthony Cullen she has had enough for one day. Emmett has not come in and seen her he tried to pull what you're pulling now." Esme said putting her hands on her hips I'll give it to her she can be scary when she wanted to be.

"What about her nightmares has she had any?" Edward asked sounding defeated.

"no she hasn't jasper's been here all day by her side to make sure she hasn't had any so she can get a good sleep, the poor girl is exhausted" Esme said looking back at me, I closed my eyes quickly so she would think I was still asleep.

"Can I sit with her till jasper comes back then?" Edward asked. My heart skipped couple of beats to think Edward and Emmett had both tried to come in and see me. I opened my eyes slowly and saw Edward looking at me smiling I closed my eyes and rolled over away from the door trying to hide the blush that crept up for being caught listening to them talking.

"He'll be back in ten minutes he's gone home to clean up and to see if Jeremy and Jake and Alice are okay. You have ten minutes I'll be watching Edward so don't do anything to scare her." Esme said opening the door for Edward to slip past her and into my room. With every footstep that came closer the louder my heart started to beat. I felt the bed move and Edwards hand on my hip I rolled on my stomach to get away from his hand even though every fibre in my body was telling me to stay there was just something I wasn't trusting in anyone. Esme had been the first one I had spoken to since what happened when Edward and Jake fought in my room.

"I know you're a wake Anna your breathing isn't even" he said softly.

"Go away" I mumbled and curled up under the blankets he chuckled lightly.

"You don't want me to go away do you?" he asked putting his hand on my shoulder I looked over my shoulder at him.

"Yes Edward I want you to go away I want everyone to go away and leave me alone." I said getting angry at how happy he was. You wouldn't be able to tell that this man had tried to kill my best friend.

"Is this because of what happened with Jake last night?" he asked frowning at me I looked away from him and back at the plain white wall.

"Yes it's because of what happened. I don't like fighting." I said shaking his hand off my shoulder.

"You are such a hypocrite" he said folding his arms over his chest stretching his black t-shirt across his back.

"Piss off Cullen" I said curling up tighter.

"Nope I get ten minutes" he said standing up and walking around the bed to the wall I was looking at

"Go spend your ten minutes somewhere else if you think I'm a hypocrite." I said glaring at him.

"You are though I mean you say you don't like fighting yet you knocked bonnie on her ass for saying that shit about you" he said glaring back at me.

"I had a reason to fight back you didn't all you had to do was leave my room when Jake asked you to" I said sitting up.

"I wasn't going to leave you scared out of your mind with him!" he started to yell and took a step towards me. I flinched back away from him even though he was still closer to the wall then he was my bed.

"Edward leave now." I looked towards the door and saw jasper standing in the doorway his arms folded over his chest.

"But I still have-"

"Now, Esme wants your help with something" jasper said walking further into the room towards Edward. Edward growled at jasper.

"Don't even try it I'm older and way stronger then you Edward" jasper said staring Edward down.

"I'm still faster than you" Edward challenged puffing his chest out at jasper.

"both of you get out your scaring Anna." came Carlisle's voice from behind jasper, they both stopped and looked at me I was hugging my knees to my chest I had my chin resting on my knees with my eyes tightly closed shaking slightly.

"Now you two jasper go home and look after your boys" I heard Alice's sweet voice. Edward and Jasper walked out mumbling to each other the door closed I felt Alice's hand on my arm I jumped and moved away from her.

"Anna it's okay they're gone." Alice said reaching out for me again but I moved away.

"Alice maybe it's best to leave her to herself for now. Anna your dinner should be coming around soon try and eat something I'll be back later to check on you" Carlisle said taking Alice by the arm and walked out leaving me alone in my room.

I got up and walked to the door slowly I pressed my ear up to the door and I could hear someone walking to my door. I ran back to bed and jumped in curling up and pretending to be asleep. The scent of spices hit me I knew exactly who had just walked in.

"Jake go home you're going to get in trouble" I said rolling over and looking up he had his hands in his pockets and his head down.

"Dad told me about what happened between him and Edward I just I don't know I thought you might need someone to talk to or something. Plus I was in the car with mum so yeah" he said standing next to my bed.

"I'm tired I don't need to talk to anyone" I said pulling my blankets up and tighter around myself.

"Anna mum and dad are sending me away" he said finally looking up at me I froze and just looked at him. "They said I need some time away so their sending me away"

"No... No they can't you can't don't go" I said getting up and hugging him he wrapped his arms around me and held me tight.

"I don't have a choice" he said softly as if he were fighting back tears.

"You... you promised you wouldn't leave me you promised!" I yelled pulling back and hitting him in the chest. He grabbed my hands and held them in his.

"I know and I'll do everything I can to keep that promise I'm so sorry" he said I saw a tear fall down his cheek.

"You can't leave me Jacob you can't" I whispered my own tears falling as I started to cry Jake pulled me into his arms again and cried with me. I've never heard Jake cry it was so heart breaking to hear him now, he was always so strong. He was my rock and now he's gone.

We cried in each other's arms for so long that it was pitch black in my room Jake sniffled and rubbed his cheeks.

"come on lets lay down" he said helping me into bed he climbed in after and held me close I rested my head on his chest and tried to stop the tears as he ran his fingers through my hair.

"I leave at the end of the week" he said holding me tighter my hand fisted around his shirt, I didn't want him to go it wasn't fair it was all Edward's fault all of this was his fault. I buried my face into Jake's chest.

I woke up in a tangle of arms and legs, Jake's and my legs were tangled around each other, his arm was wrapped around my waist my forehead was against his chest as he held me just as tight as he had that night I sighed softly and closed my eyes again to try and go back to sleep but I couldn't. The thought of never having Jake save me from myself scared me more than being alone for the rest of my life. Jake sighed in his sleep and cuddled into me more I put my arm over his waist earning myself another sigh from him.

"He told you didn't he?" I jumped and looked over jakes shoulder and saw Alice standing a little away from the bed.

"Don't send him away Alice please I'm begging you please don't" I whispered managing very carefully to sit up without waking Jake. He wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his head in my lap.

"I don't have a choice I'm sorry, he's becoming too much to handle I'm sending him away to a very good friend of mine." she whispered moving closer and running her fingers through his hair.

"Please don't he's all I have left" I said looking down at Jake.

"Anna you have so many people around you, you just won't let them in" she said looking up from Jake to me.

"I don't want to let anyone in I rather die" I said looking out the window to see big ugly storm clouds building up.

"You don't mean that Anna, your mother would be disappointed in how you are acting right now" she said folding her arms over her chest. My head snapped towards her.

"You don't get to say that you don't have any right to talk about my mother Alice." I said pulling away from Jake and getting out of bed. I pulled the drip out of my arm and the bandages off my head I had two small band aids over the cut on my forehead.

"What are you doing?" Alice asked watching me.

"Getting out of here I'm surrounded by liars and back stabbers." I said grabbing a pair of jeans and a shirt from the small cupboard and putting them on.

"Don't be like that Anna its best for Jake and you" she said walking around to stand in front of me. I pushed past her and walked to the door.

"when Jake wakes up tell him I said goodbye" I said grabbing the door handle and walking out of the room, tears started to swell up in my eyes I wiped at them viciously and ran down the corridor of the hospital to the elevator the doors opened just as I got to them I saw Edward standing alone in the elevator looking down with his hands in his pockets. I stopped and turned around he looked up just as i ran through the door to the stairs.

"ANNA!" he called out after me I heard his footsteps on the stairs following my down.

"GO AWAY!" I yelled back running faster I crashed through the exit door and ran away from the hospital not looking over my shoulder. I was alone now I had no one left so I ran to the one place I knew no one would find me.
