Chapter 9

BPOV:

I straightened my back when the screen came up with the results of the rape kit. I watched as Alice and Jasper looked away, they had said they never wanted to see this again, and I fully agreed with them. Since this was just a re-evaluation and no witnesses would be appearing, they were simply showing the test and records to verify my virginity and the damage that was implied to my cervix. He was already ruled guilty, the whole point of this re-calling was only because Tyler wanted to make the judge think it wasn't his fault.

I rubbed my back, which was sore from spending the past hour on the hard court room wooden bench.

I continued to watch as they basically went through regular court proceedings, but, of course, without the witnesses. My lawyer, Bree, was amazing. I watched her as she shot down everyone one of Tyler's attorney's reasons that it wasn't his fault or he was misjudged. I smiled as she shot down the 'he was drunk' excuse by saying he chose to drink.

Finally the judge decided that this was going to indeed be a few day long case and adjourned for the day. I glanced at my watch, noticing it was only four thirty. At least I would have some time at home to clean myself up before Hilary returned.

I was indeed a mess, I had practically cried through the first fifteen minutes because of the flashbacks that had taken place in my mind. My hair looked as if I had tried to pull it out, which indeed I may have. I had been so focused on what was going on I really didn't realize what I was fidgeting with, out of extreme nervousness.

I stood up and prepared to leave the courtroom, just as Tyler walked by. I nearly fainted at his close proximity, but I managed to stay standing for once. I started walking out to where Jasper and Alice were talking to Bree, when it happened.

"Whore." Tyler whispered, then he spat on my face. I couldn't help it, I ran.

I ran faster than I ever had in my life, to where, I had no clue. All I knew was that I had to get away from Tyler, away from the painful scenes that flashed back behind my eyes. I ran for what seemed like minutes on end. I resolved to keep running, as I dodged a tree in the forest I had just veered in to. The forest was a perfect cover, and I was sure to have a little while to myself before someone would find me.

All of the sudden, there was no ground beneath me, and I screamed as I felt myself falling. I fell into darkness and it seemed to last forever, but I knew it was probably only a few seconds.

Finally I felt the impact of my body on the ground, and I knew instantly that my left arm, leg, and ribs were broken, not only from the shattering crack I heard when I landed, but the feeling of the pain shooting up my spine was a dead give-away.

My head started throbbing, and I was pretty sure I had cracked my skull as well. MY vision was getting a little blurry, but I couldn't black out, I couldn't.

If I blacked out, I could die.

Because I had fallen in an old well, and the water was already up to the side of my nose lying down. It was getting deeper every second. If nobody found me soon, I was going to drown.

Alice POV:

"Hey Jasper, where did Bella go?" I asked, peering back into the empty courtroom, where could she have gone?

"I don't know." Jasper started helping me frantically look around. We had all come in my car, therefore she wouldn't have a ride, and she couldn't get far on foot.

That's when I noticed Tyler laughing, not good, not good at all.

Jasper apparently noticed the same thing, because he suddenly had Tyler up against the wall. "What the hell did you do to her?" He was angry now.

"You mean that little whore? Nothing." Tyler said, but I knew he was lying, just because of the wide smirk that was covering his face, he had done something. "Though if you're looking for her, you might check the woods. I never knew that slut could run so fast." Then he started cracking up as if it were the funniest thing in the world. Jasper pulled back his arm as if to slug Tyler, but I stopped him and started leading him outside. I had suddenly gotten this odd feeling, if we didn't get to Bella soon she would die. I don't know where it came from, but I knew we had to hurry.

I broke into a run, Jasper must have had the same feeling because he was suddenly running right next to me. We ran through the trees at break-neck speeds(or so it seemed) until Jasper suddenly skidded to a stop. I stopped also, wondering what happened.

That's when I saw it, there, in front of us, were broken boards, ones that had once covered an old well. I walked carefully to the edge, knowing Bella, she had probably fallen in. Jasper grabbed onto my arm, making sure I didn't fall, and what I saw, made tears come to my eyes.

There, about thirty feet below me, was Bella's pale face. I could tell immediately that one of her legs was broken from the odd angle it was positioned at. I frowned as I noticed the water that was seeping up through the bottom. That's when I screamed. Jasper looked at me, and I simply pointed to the water that was covering half of Bella's mouth, I couldn't tell if she was breathing or not.

"Call 911" I nearly yelled, but that's when I remembered that the nearest fire station was nearly twenty minutes away, and it would take them that long to get here, in the middle of the woods I might add. I don't even think their vehicles would be able to make it.

"We can't wait that long, I actually think we're on the Cullen's property, I'm going to call them and have them bring a car over. Alice, run back to my car and get the tow rope." He instructed pulling out his cell phone.

As I ran back to the car, I indeed noticed the fence surrounding the property, but there was a hole, about ten feet long, which we had conveniently run through. I grabbed the towrope from Jaspers car, which we had parked near the edge of the woods that morning with out thinking, and ran back. When I returned Jasper was pacing.

"I was right, Carlisle is there with Edward, who is home for dinner. They'll be here in about three minutes." He took the rope from my hands. "The water's gotten higher, you need to go lift Bella's head so she doesn't get any water in her lungs." Jasper quickly tied the rope as a harness and began to lower my slowly into the hole.

As soon as I reached the bottom I leaned down and gently lifted Bella's head the few inches into my lap, I started panicking as her breath began to quicken. "Alice?" She whimpered.

"Help is coming Bella. Please hang in there!" I pleaded. My heart beating quicker as she started coughing slightly.

"Alice?" Jasper called down. "Is everything okay so far?"

"Yeah, she's breathing!" I yelled back up.

"Well I see their car approaching so it won't be long now!"

I sighed checking Bella's pulse. 'Please be alright'. I prayed in my head, I had never been very religious, but I knew Bella was, and I sure hoped that God was watching over her today.

She was my best friend, my sister, because I didn't have one. I didn't know what I would do if she didn't make it.

'Please be alright.' I prayed over and over again.

AN: I know I shouldn't leave u there…but otherwise the chapter would be four thousand words…
