Previously- Bella was in the hospital, her whole family visited and everything, Alice was there. Edward gave her a book.

I stood pacing Alice and Jaspers kitchen with a cup of Trix yogurt in my hands the TV provided a background noise, I shoveled the colorful goop into my mouth quickly, the tangy taste made my saliva pool. I slammed the empty cup on the counter, it landed with a pop.

"slow down Bella, you're going to make yourself throw up!" Alice scolded me from the kitchen table where she sat reading her magazine. I merely looked at her for a moment then turned back to the open cabinet looking for something else to eat.

Today, the first day where I could really walk around, I had been let out of the hospital three days ago, I am staying at Charlie's house and not allowed to move much, doctors orders. Charlie was surprisingly strict and when he wasn't around Alice was just as strict, she even shopped online for me though she likes being in the store much better.

I grabbed a bag of skittles and ripped the corner open pouring the colorful candies into my palm I threw them into my mouth. My jaw started to ach as I chewed vigorously, I put the skittles down and buttered the bread for my grilled cheese with turkey.

"Oh, that's pretty" Alice murmured. I looked up at her after I put the sandwich on the pan.

"What are you looking at your own designs?" I asked smiling. Just then Jasper and Edward walked through the door, knocking first to make sure I wasn't surprised. Everyone had started doing this, knocking on a doorframe before they entered the room 

if my back was turned. Its safe to say they worked hard to make sure I was never surprised.

"No Bella, I was looking at someone to show my designs" she giggled, I walked over biting into an apple, to look at the picture.

"Rosalie Hale, my new model" she murmured.

"Careful she can be a bit of a diva" Edwards voice floated through my ears as he walked into the kitchen with Jasper right behind him.

"How would you know?" I snapped.

"She's dating my brother" He smirked at me.

"Oh" so he would know then, I laughed nervously.

"What happened in here?" Jasper asked looking around.

"Bella got hungry, we have to go out for dinner by the way sweetie, we ran out of food" Alice looked up at Jasper as she finished talking, he gave a short loud "ha". I just smiled and flipped my sandwich. It was perfectly golden on that side and mouthwatering.

I had missed food, quickly I shook away the thoughts that my lack of food lead to. I didn't like to think about it, it was much easier to pretend, I think I was even getting a little good at it.

I groaned stretching out on the couch and patted my stomach, Edward chuckled. I glared at him, it felt like I would explode at any second now. There is a such thing as too much of a good thing apparently.

"Hungry Bella?" Edward asked I tilted my head back to look at him again.

"Do no mention food for the next decade" I moaned. He laughed again.

"Are you sleeping at Alice's tonight?" Edward asked, I nodded, I didn't like to stay alone anymore. It was Alice's or get a ride back to Forks tonight, I didn't stay at my own very small apartment anymore, I didn't have a roommate. Considering she was out to dinner right now with Jasper it was not really possible to get back at a reasonable time.

"Do you need a ride back to Forks tomorrow?" Edward asked me.

"I guess but you don't have to go all the way out of your way, its fine. Alice can drive me" I told him.

"I'm going to Forks anyway to see my parents, as long as you don't mind riding with Doc, I'd be happy to take you Bella" Edward was absently playing with my hair, it felt very nice.

"Tell me about your family, I didn't even know they lived in Forks" I half heartedly glared, he smiled down at me. I nearly got lost in his eyes, my fake anger soon very much forgotten.

"My biological parents died when I was 12 years old. They got in a car accident" Edward started.

"I'm so sorry" I said quietly leaning my head on his leg, he fanned my hair out over his legs gently touching it.

"It was a long time ago and don't worry about it. Carlisle and Esme are my aunt and uncle, they took me in. Emmett was like my brother anyway and now he is by law as well."

"What's Emmett like?" I asked, I couldn't imagine another Edward.

"Opposite me. He is big, bulky, he plays football for the Seahawks, he has curly brown hair and brown eyes. He is still a child though, very playful. He and Rosalie are very serious. They are perfect for each other."

"The football player and the model" I smiled. He laughed, my head bounced a little.

"No the model who likes to fix cars and happens to be a very big football fan" he corrected light heartedly. I smiled too.

"What does Carlisle do?" I asked.

"He's a doctor, maybe you know him" Edward teased.

"Ha ha, I don't know every single doctor in the Seattle area Edward"

"pretty close" Edward muttered, I glared half heartedly. Suddenly something hit the window and I jumped my muscles locking down in fear. Edward's eyes flashed quickly from playful to serious and concerned. I was reminded of—I concentrated on the odd color of hair, I wondered if his mother or father had that hair color. Edward still reminded me of it though.

It hurt that someone whom I enjoyed being with so much could hurt me with my own memories. I closed my eyes and Edward tried to calm me, little did he know that he was part of the problem. I let him try though, giving my best effort to relax into his arms.

Edwards Point of view

I was sitting looking over the transcript of the interview that we had with him, while the footage of him and another man taking Bella played on the television monitor. Something was wrong.

He said, no insisted that it was a solitary act. But why would he take her? What motivation, he insisted he hadn't raped her or sexually abused her, the rape test showed the same thing. I would still have to talk to Bella though.

It was disturbing thinking about this happening to Bella. It was easier to pretend I didn't know the woman, that she wasn't such an innocent, sweet, and loving person.

The thoughts all took me back to why, he never asked for money, he didn't know Charlie Swan the Chief of Police in Forks. He must have been working for someone, some larger operation. Nothing else fit.

I would find the answer and the man behind this. Of course to do so I needed an interview with Bella. I had been putting this off for a long time now. I didn't want to stir up bad feelings, I didn't want to make her relive it. I knew as a part of my job I had to get all of the information, including interviewing Bella.

I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose trying to relive the head ach I could feel coming on. I picked up the dark grey phone sitting on my desk and dialed Bella's house phone number. It rang several times before a gruff voice, not Bella's, answered.

"Hello sir, this is Edward Masen, is Bella available?" I asked completely dreading this phone call with every fiber of my being.

"Oh, yea one second Edward let me get her" he answered, I heard a muffled calling of her name, and some shuffling.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Bella" I confirmed.

"Yes?" She asked.

"Its Edward" I told her, I knew I should have gotten to the point but I didn't want to make her think about it any sooner than possible.

"Oh, hello Edward, what can I do for you?" she asked, I could hear the smile in her voice. It made me smile as well for a moment.

"Bella, I need an interview with you, to complete the report so we can close the case" I spit it out, she took a deep breath, it cackled over the speaker.

"why? Don't you have enough to get him in jail? How could you not have enough?" she snapped at me. I grimaced.

"We have enough Bella, he will go away for a long time, but what about the other people? I know there were others, I just need to know what you know so I can put a 

stop to all of this, and put all of them in jail. Make sure no one else is ever hurt by them again." I was going out on a limb here, she could tell me right now that she never saw anyone else and I would still need an interview, and have no leads.

She sighed though and took a long moment to respond. "ok, when?" she asked.

"Whenever works for you is fine, maybe sometime tomorrow?" I asked.

"Yeah sure, tomorrow" she sighed into the phone, I closed my eyes and put my head down on the pile of papers.

"Is 10:30 alright? Do you want me to pick you up or something?" I asked, just because I wanted to do something nice to try and make this slightly easier for her.

"Sure, why not" she answered dejectedly.

Bella's Point of View

The room wasn't like it was shown on TV, I guess because I wasn't a suspect for anything. Everything was set up in a conference room, a video camera—the red light already flashing—was standing in the corner, a tape recorder lay in the middle of the wood patterned table. I was nearly positive the table was plastic.

I focused on the details of the room, memorizing the pattern of dots on the ceiling so I didn't have to look at Edward as he shuffled through his folders, reading information about me no doubt. He looked up at me and took a deep breath, stacking the papers nervously. I knew we were starting.

It was awkward telling Edward about everything, I wished it was someone whom I would never see again. But it was Edward, my Edward I knew I would see him again. Alice had invited him to her wedding, she used my plus one for him.

I knew he felt bad, the guilt was bright in his eyes. The pain must have been glossing my eyes over. In the back of my mind I felt bad for making him hurt but I couldn't exactly compare our pains.

He wasn't locked in a basement alone for weeks, he wasn't starved and dehydrated and nearly dead of hypothermia. No, that was me. I did not make eye contact with him, I'm not sure I did at all the whole time I was with him.

I did try my hardest not to cry. I turned my sadness and self pity into anger, I was mad at those who did this to me. At the end I still had not cried, Edward showed to me to the front office, Alice had already been called to come get me.

It was raining, Alice walked through the doors little drips of water falling off the tips of her hair. I stood up and walked to her wordlessly, she could see I didn't want to talk. Not now, not after reliving the worst experience of my life. I was emotionally exhausted.

It was raining outside, but it was still slightly sunny. I stood in the middle of the sidewalk looking up at the sky. The sunlight reflected off the rain, making it shimmer slightly. I stood staring up at the sky letting the rain soak me. I smiled slightly and let my eyes shut.

"Bella, come on!" Alice yelled, she was half way across the parking lot, almost to her car.

"Why? Don't you like the rain?" I asked, knowing that she did.

"You hate the rain Bella, come on!" she was jumping slightly.

"no I don't" I called to her.

"Yes, you do. You always have Bella" she stomped her high heeled foot.

"Not anymore" I screamed laughing and spinning around, dancing in the rain. Alice walked over to me carefully.

"Bella come on, its cold and we are both all wet. Please Bella, come on let's just go" Alice begged.

"I want to stay outside" I held my palm up to the air letting it catch the rain drops. Alice sighed and stood next to me pulling something out of her purse. It was a small pale pink umbrella. She opened it and stood next to me under the shield of the waterproof cloth. I stepped away so I was only under the sky.

Alice's Point of view

I was terrified of this point. All of the physiologists I had called about Bella had basically told me the same thing. She was trying to push it away instead of dealing with it and eventually she would break, snap, or have a breakdown. I think this was her mini break down.

She was grinning like a maniac, not her soft sweet smile I was used to, or the friendly grin she had. This was a new, darker smile. Edgy, I couldn't help but think this would 

make a great photo shoot for something I just designed. I quickly focused on Bella again.

I was debating if I should go get Edward or not, I didn't want to leave her alone though. She hated to be alone. I knew that, she also had to know where everyone was at most times.

Suddenly the smile dropped, it was odd how quickly it fell from her pale face. She turned to look at me, it was a sad sight, she stood frowning at me, dripping wet.

"I don't like the rain" She stated, I nodded and sighed in relief. I took her hand and led her to the car. I decided to just drive her over to my house, I could cancel my plans with Jasper, he would understand, Bella needed me.

I sighed in disappointment this time, we had the most wonderful plans, I was going to wear my new dress. Oh well, maybe I could put it on still to show Bella.

Bella's Point of View

I let Alice model her dress, it was gorgeous of course, everything Alice owned was beautiful beyond belief. I felt guilty though, I was taking over her life. I didn't want to tell her that I over heard her call to Jasper.

"Jazz, I'm so sorry, Bella needs me" she had whispered in another room. I didn't need to take her away from her soon to be husband. That couldn't have been necessary, it was just selfish. So for two weeks now I had slowly been pulling myself away, stopping relying on them so much.

I tried not to be with them every second and let Jasper and Alice have their moments. I was in Forks a lot more often. Charlie was happy and tried to stay home, but the fact was that he had a job that he needed to get to every day. I had picked up the job I had before as an editor, I worked from home most of the time.

I hadn't seen Edward since the interview, it was too complicated. I didn't want to face him. He had called two days after and I didn't answer his phone call. I didn't want to admit it but I missed him a little bit.

So I picked up running, well I didn't like it exactly because I was always alone when I ran. It terrified me, but made me run faster. I hated to admit it but I was in better shape than I ever had been.

I was running, the pavement from the side of the road pounded under my feet. As I was running a large German Sheppard darted out from a dirt road. I screamed in shock and skidded to a stop putting my hand over my heart.

A man flew out of the opening right behind the dog, I shrieked again. He looked up at me, eyes wide. Then he smiled, the dog was calmly sitting beside him.

"Hello Bella" he smiled.

"Hello Edward, and Doc" the dog trotted over to me sniffing my hand and letting me scratch behind his ears.

"How are you Bella? I haven't seen you in a while" Edward said. I shrugged, trying to regulate my breathing.

"Alright, Alice's wedding is coming up soon so I guess there is a lot to do." I wiped the sweat off my brow.

"Oh yes, she told me about all the work. I guess I'll see you there" Edward smirked. I smiled too, I didn't know that Alice had been talking to Edward though. Shows how much she tells me.

"I guess you will" I noted, pulling my leg up stretching out a bit.

"How is… or was your run?" Edward asked.

"Long, I don't even know where I am really" I laughed nervously looking around.

"It seems you ended up at my parents house" Edward walked over to the dirt road and pointed, I walked over and saw a beautiful white house in the distance. Even far off the house was massive, it wasn't even a house, a mansion.

"wow" I muttered, Edward laughed. I blushed, brushing some hair back into my pony tail. "I didn't know houses like this were in Forks" I said a little bit louder. Edwards smirk grew to be more pronounced.

"Bella, if your not to tired from your run would you like to join myself and Doc at the dog park at noon?" Edward asked turning to look at me, his emerald eyes gleamed in the light.

"I would love to, I just have to find my way home" I laughed.

"I'll drive you, it's at least 7 miles" Edward pleaded with me.

"You really don't need to" I told him, though I was a bit tired and a ride would have been nice.

"I want to" He insisted. I sighed; he grinned in victory and lead me to his shinny silver Volvo parked down the long driveway.

Ok so sorry I havent updated in so long, I added an extra 1,000 words to make this puppy longer to make up for not having updated in so long. I have everything planned out I just need to find the time to write it.

Tell me what you think, Review.
