I don't own twilight or any of the characters, Stephanie Meyer does.

Royce locked me in a room and tied me to a chair.

"Now you can't escape" he said and he grabbed a beer from the cupboard. He kept drinking more and more. He shouted abuse at me and hit me. I stayed in his house for a week. I knew my dad would be searching for me by now and that he would have blamed Emmett as that's who I said I was going to see. Royce left me tied to the chair when we went out to get more beer. As he closed the door, I knew that this was my only chance. I had exactly 20 minutes before he got home. I looked around the room to find an exit. The door was locked but he had left the window unlocked. I managed to break away from the rope which had loosened its grip around me and climbed out of the room. I heard someone whistling. I looked up. Royce was back. I hid behind a bush and waited for him to go out of sight before running.

I had no phone and no money and no idea how to get to Forks from here. I broke down in tears outside a shop. A lady walked over. She had light caramel hair that fell down her back in waves.

"What's wrong dear?" she asked.

I told her everything. She listened very carefully and waited until I had finished.

"Where do you live, Rosalie?"

I knew Royce would go straight to my house when he discovered I was missing sp I told her the only other address that I knew. Emmett's.

She walked me to her car and told me to get in. Esme told me about her life, which seemed as brutal as mine and Leah's put together. She had been forced to marry a man who abused her and frequently cheated on her but she had no one to turn to. She had wanted to help me as she knew how it felt. After 3 hours I reached Emmett's home. Hopefully he would be in as it was the weekend.

I knocked at the door. Esme was stood beside me and smiled at me. The door opened and Doctor Cullen stood there. He looked at me for a second and then Esme.

"You must be Rose." He said to me. "Emmett's not stopped talking about you. What happened? He's been a total wreck for the past week?"

"It's a long story" I said and looked at Esme.

Carlisle invited us in and Emmett heard us. He rush down the stairs and hugged me.

"I've been so worried," He said and he kissed me. I heard someone laugh. I looked up and saw Jasper standing at the top of the stairs.

"Thank god you're back. I was about to phone the mental asylum. He's been a total looney." I smiled. Everything would be back to normal.

Charlie arrived with Renee. Renee looked tired, she now had dark bags under her eyes and her skin had aged. We hugged. Charlie asked me why Royce had arrived and demanded to know where you where.

"I told him you were missing and he laughed before leaving." He explained.

Esme helped Carlisle make some tea and we all sat down. I explained what happened and Emmett shook his head the whole time.

"If I was there.." kept saying the whole way through my story.

After I'd finished everyone was silent. Mainly in shock. Emmett broke the silence.

"I can't wait to meet this Royce, he won't stand a chance against me, not after what he's done to you."

"There will be no need for that. Rose, I know you've just got back and your stressed but will you be okay if I go to the station now. I'm going to start a search for Royce."

"She'll be fine here, chief" said Emmett, everyone else agreed.

Charlie left taking Renee and Carlisle offered to make tea for the rest of us.

"I better go," said Esme. "Jared will be wondering where I am. I don't want to get into trouble again."

"No. You cant go back. You've sorted everything out for me. Now I'm going to help you. Tell her Carlisle, she can't go back."

"Your problems were smaller than mine, Rosalie. Mine are more.." she was struggling for the right word. "well. More complicated."

"Please stay." Carlisle pleaded.

Emmett and Jasper pulled me out of the room. They walked up the stairs before tiptoeing back down again. I followed them.

They put their ears to the door.

"I think dad has a small crush on someone," whispered Jasper.

"Na. Bet he's just comforting her," replied Emmett.

"Ten bucks?"

"Deal."

Carlisle cleared his throat.

"Dang, I forgot about the other door" said Jasper.

Esme laughed.

Bed boys. Rose you can stay if you want but phone your mum first. I happily agreed.

The boys raced upstairs and I followed them.

They both wolf whistled really loudly.

I turned round. Carlisle was stood with his arm around Esme. He went bright red and mumbled something. Esme laughed.

"I think you owe me ten bucks bro," said Jasper.

Please review it makes me really really happy :D
