This chapter has strong non-consenting sexual content
FriendsEdward walked into the locker area, and was shocked at what he saw. When he distracted Tyler I kneed him in the groin. This made him loosen his pressure off of me. Edward removed him from me and picked me up in bridal style. As we were walking towards the door Alice approached looking a little relived. She told us that she would be telling everyone we needed to go. She also made a comment about Jessica before turning and leaving. "Edward go back to Jessica, I will be fine. I'll just sit at a table and wait for everyone to be ready to go. I don't want to ruin everyone's night." I said.
"Belle, I am not leaving you right now, you need to go home. I want Carlisle to take a look at you and make sure you are okay." Edward said softly. When we reached the car he pleaded, "I am so sorry, Belle. I should have been keeping a better eye on you. Please forgive me Belle."
"Eddie there is nothing to forgive, this isn't your fault I shouldn't have gone off with him and I know his reputation. I just assumed he wouldn't' do anything tonight. I am so stupid." I stated starting to cry.
Edward ran over to his side of the car and slammed the door. Started the car and took off down the road to his house. As we were pulling in to his driveway his phone rang. "Sorry Jessica, something has come up. I need to be here. Thank Alice and Jasper for giving you a ride home." He answered then after a brief pause he exclaimed, "She did what? I wish I had seen that, although I would have done more than punch him. Any way I am home now Jessica I need to let you go.
We pulled up to his house. He got out of the car, picked me up out of the car bridal style and walked up to the front door. He opened the door and yelled, "Carlisle, Dad, I need you."
With in 30 seconds Carlisle was in the living room with a look of concern on his face. "What's wrong, Bella are you hurt?" He asked looking me over and seeing that I was crying.
"I am fine now, can I just go lay down and go to sleep?" I asked hopeful
"Carlisle I walked in to the locker area of the bowling alley and Tyler had Belle pinned down on the floor and was going to force himself on her." Edward interjected.
"Bella, come up to my office and let me just check you over. I just want to make sure you are okay." Carlisle said, I tried to get down, but Edward wouldn't let me go. Instead he carried me up to Carlisle's office and put me down on the couch. He continued to stand there when Carlisle told him to wait downstairs in the living room. Just then we heard Emmett burst through he door yelling, "Bells, where are you? Are you okay? Bells?"
Edward went downstairs to let everyone know what happened. Carlisle checked me over and I told him everything that happened. I looked fine, but Carlisle wanted me to talk to someone about it to make sure I was mentally fine. He asked if he could call my parents and let them know what happened, saying that it was the only way I could get the help I needed. I didn't think I needed help but I let Carlisle call my parents. Before Carlisle made the phone call, Rosalie and Alice were called upstairs and told to start a nice bath for me and to keep me company until Carlisle was done.
We went into Alice's room and she drew a hot bath for me. They asked me questions about what happened but I told them I wanted to tell everyone at the same time the exchanged quizzical looks.
"What is going on? How did Em react to Eddie telling him how he found me?" I asked realizing I had heard my brother in a little bit.
"They went out for a drive," Alice replied sheepishly.
"They went to take care of Tyler didn't they?" I responded, like I knew what to expect.
Emmett POV
Rosalie told me we had to go now, that something was wrong with Bella and that Edward was taking her home. I hadn't noticed Bella or Edward for a few minutes so I just left. I beat Rosalie to the jeep, which isn't unusual, but when I turned around she wasn't behind me. I assumed she left something in the building. When I finally saw her, she looked pissed and I told her, "Babe I am sorry, but you know my little sis means the world to me I hate thinking something is wrong with her and not knowing what it is?"
"Emmett I know that I am worried about Bella to." She replied and then remained quite the rest of the drive. It should take 20 minutes to get to the alley to the Cullen's but I made it in 10. I think I blew through 3 stop signs, but I figured if I got pulled over, they would let me go to be with Bella and wave the ticket. When it comes down to it, those Cullen's are not to be questioned or messed with when it comes to Bella.
FlashbackBella was 10 and we went to the beach to swim. Bella got cold and got out of the water, she sat on the beach for a couple minutes then decided to take a walk. I wasn't worried about her she sometimes liked to just go and get a way to think or explore. After about half an hour, Edward ran up to me and said, "We need to find Belle, something is wrong. I hear her crying."
Alice and I couldn't hear anything, so I thought he was crazy. Alice on the other had jumped and started searching. I started looking too; hey nothing was going to happen to my sister with out me at least looking. I figured we would find her and she would be fine and slightly annoyed that we interrupted her walk, worse case she would be lost and we would be helping her out. We found her ½ an hour later she was unconscious and had lost blood in her leg. We took her to the hospital where Carlisle looked at her and determined that she broke her leg and the blood loss was from the break, she also had a concussion, so the doctors were worried about her waking up. My father was very upset we let her go on her own, but was grateful to Edward for finding her. Ever since then I have not questioned Edward when it came to my sister.
Present day
I arrived at the Cullen's house and ran for the door, I hollered for Bella, but she didn't come. Instead Edward came down the stairs looking like someone killed his best friend. I got even more worried,
"God damn-it what happen to my sister, where in the hell is she?"
"She is upstairs with my dad, I wanted him to look over her. Physically" he said before I was interrupted.
"What happened to my Bells?" Emmett was almost crying with worry.
"She was almost raped by Tyler. I walked in her skirt was lifted up and his pants were completely off. She was able to knee him, I pushed him over and got Belle, out of there." Edward reviewed what he knew then added. "She feels really bad about messing up our night, you know how Belle can be."
Everyone nodded his or her heads in agreement. We sat there quietly for about a minute, when Edward stated, "I am going back to that party and having a little talk with Tyler."
"Thank you for suggesting that, I would love to go give him a piece of my mind," I said getting real excited, I planned on killing him for what he did, but I assumed Edward and Jasper would stop me or at least try to and tonight I didn't want to fight with them.
"Don't forget me, I am coming too, do you think I would let you have all the fun." Jasper agreed. Without another word we left. Again it toke us 10 minutes to make a 20 minute trip this time Edward was driving his mustang. We listened to Break Things by Limp Bizket. When we arrived, we sent Jasper in to see if Tyler was still here.
JASPER POV
I went into the bowling alley looking for Tyler. He was sitting with Lauren again talking he had his hand on her upper thigh. I walked up and very calmly said, "Tyler I think it would be best for you if you came out side to have a talk with me."
"Yeah, why would I
want to do that?" He asked looking terrified. I noticed one of his
eyes had signs of a broken nose. I wondered who did that.
"Because
you don't want Emmett or Edward to come in here." I answered.
"Fine, but you better not touch me," he warned.
He willingly walked out side; I was surprised that no one followed us. His first words should have caused someone to kill him.
"I don't know what everyone is here for she asked for it and I would have given her what she wanted had Mr. Lover boy not shown up. What is Belle not enough that you need Jessica too?"
"First off her name is Bella," Edward said punching Tyler in the face.
"She didn't ask for it, you tried to take it from her. You are lucky that Edward here stopped you or I don't know what I would do," Emmet said punching him in the stomach 3 times.
"You didn't leave anything for me to do. However I wanted to tell you that you messed up what could have been a great thing. Bella is a wonderful person and beautiful to boot." I said stomping on Tyler's toes.
I threw him on the ground where he landed in a hump. Edward looked over him to make sure we didn't do any really harm.
"He will be feeling it tomorrow, but he shouldn't be too bruised." Edward said walking back to the car. We drove back to the house at a regular speed.
B POV.
Carlisle came in to Alice's room and Rosalie and Alice excused themselves.
"Bella I talked to your father, he would like for you to press charges against Tyler. I told him that I would talk with you about it. I suggested that you stay here tomorrow night so that tomorrow and Sunday you can talk to a counselor. I called a friend of mine who deals with this and she said she could come see you here at the house. All of this is if you agree," Carlisle questioned.
"I guess if that is what you would like. I would like it if just for tonight Emmett and I can sleep in the living room, not that I think anything would happen while I am here but I would just be more comfortable with my brother very close to me." I confessed.
"All of you kids can sleep in the living room." He answered.
I left Alice's room and went downstairs. I saw Emmett was there, I ran to him and when he put his arms around me I started to break down.
"Bells, I am so sorry. I should have noticed that you were with Tyler and then when you left, I should have been the one to notice you," Emmett guiltily said.
"What do you mean that you didn't notice I was gone, who noticed?" I asked confused. "I assumed that you noticed I was missing and that is when Edward found me.
"Um, no actually is what like when you were 10 again. Edward heard you call for him, which is when he took off looking for you. Then Alice noticed Edward was acting weird, and found out you were missing. Alice started to look for you and that is when Edward found you. Bells, I am so sorry." Emmett explained.
Rosalie spoke up, "I left my purse in the bowling alley and I went back to get it when I heard Tyler telling his friends that you were all over him, asking for sex, and then after he gave it to you, you were begging for more. I didn't believe him so I punched him in the nose."
"That is where he got it, nice right hook Rose," Jasper exclaimed.
I ran over to Rosalie and said "Thank you for doing that." I gave her a hug. Then I walked over to Edward and gave him a big hug. He left an arm around me and he walked me to the couch. We sat down and he kept his arm protectively around me. It felt good, I felt safe.
We sat in silence for a few minutes and then Edward asked the question I was dreading having to answer. "Belle, please tell us what happened. Let us help you."
Before I started to talk, Emmett came over to sit by me Edward removed his arm from around me and put it supportively on my leg and Emmett put his arm around me. Jasper sat with Alice on the love seat in front of the window. Rosalie sat on the other love seat that was across from the other love seat. I told them everything, about Edward covering the truth to Emmett about Tyler and Jessica. Edward looked ashamed and Emmett looked like he was going to rip Edwards head off.
"If you want me to finish you need to chill out Emmett and you need to stop blaming yourself Edward, I wanted to spend time with Tyler, I thought the rumors were lies." I said before continuing the story. My brother and best guy friend nodded and I finished telling them about what happened and how Edward stopped Tyler from raping me. I suggested we watch a movie and go to sleep I told them that Carlisle said we could sleep in the living room because I wanted to be near Emmett. When we put the movie in Emmett moved over to sit with Rosalie on the love seat. I asked Edward if I could put my head on his shoulder and relax. He told me I don't have to ask, if I need him he will be here for me. How did I get so lucky to have him as my best friend? Edward put his arm back around me and I rested my head on his shoulder. It was the safest feeling in the world other than having Emmett with me. I felt invincible, I had my biggest protectors in Edward, Emmett and Jasper around me and my sisters (we joke about being sisters all the time, but today it is true.) were there too. Alice put in Sound of Music, the last part I remember is the Do, Re, Me song.
I woke up the next morning with my head on Edwards's shoulder and his arms protectively around me. Why do I feel like this is the way I am suppose to be sleeping.
