We were so lost in each other eyes that we didn't care about anything else, "I love you my Bella," said Edward.

"I love you too, Edward," I said.

The party ended… and trust me it was the best party of my life! Did I mention that I love Halloween! But you know what? I love Edward even more!

Bella's POV

I had the best time ever at the Halloween party; Edward told me he loved me. I still can't believe it a month is already passed since Edward and I got together, and we couldn't be happier.

I still don't know why Jacob appeared at the party, since that day he hasn't stop calling me or texting me. I haven't told Edward yet, because I don't want him to worry about it, the only person that knows is Ali because she saw one of the text messages that he send last week. She was pushing me to tell him but I was afraid that he would be pissed with me for not telling him or think that I wanted Jacob back. That certainly wasn't true.

I had sacrificed a lot when I was with Jacob. He expected me to be at his beck and call, to give up whom I was who my friends were. I would not give them up for anything. They were my world. Edward was my world and I only had eyes for him. I just wish Jacob could see that but he didn't.

Just then my cell fired off alerting me to yet another text message. I sighed as I flipped it open and read the message.

B-talk to me. I'm getting tired of this. Please, just talk to me.-J

Once again, I just deleted the message and pocketed my phone. Was he ever going to get the hint? I pulled on my jacket and headed downstairs to the living room. Charlie was sitting on the couch watching some football game and sipping on a beer. I nearly rolled my eyes at him. What a fun way to spend your time!

"I'm going over to Alice's," I said, heading to the door.

"Yeah, cause it's Alice you want to go see," snorted Charlie.

I pursed my lips together and ignored his smart ass comment. So what if Alice happened to be my loves sister's? It didn't make her any less of my best friend. Besides, she was so upset with me right now. I really needed to talk to her. She was pissed that I hadn't told Edward about Jacob's calls and texts. I knew I should but I didn't want to let Jacob taint my relationship with him.

I was about a block from my house when my cell went off again. I sighed again as I pulled it out of my back pocket. Fucking Jacob, again. I flipped it open and pulled the phone up to my ear.

"What, Jacob?" I asked, shortly.

"Bella, thank god, you picked up," sighed Jacob.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"I need to talk to you," he said, urgently.

"Jake, we've been through this," I sighed.

"Please, just come over so I can talk to you," he pleaded. I closed my eyes and sighed. "Please, Bella?"

"Fine, I'll be there in a few minutes," I muttered.

I hung up before he could say anything else. I turned my car around and headed over to Jacob's house. Maybe he would finally get the hint that I was done with him and all of this shit. Ten minutes later, I pulled my car up in front of Jacob's house. I'm not sure why but in that moment, I got scared. I brushed off those feelings and headed up to the front door.

I had barely placed my knuckles on the door when it was pulled open. Jacob was standing there with a huge grin on his face. His eyes were wild looking and I once again felt the pang of fear creeping up on me. He stepped aside and I, reluctantly, stepped into the house. He shut the door behind me and pulled me over to the couch, pushing me down roughly.

"So what did you want?" I asked.

"You have to give me another shot," he said, quickly. I shook my head and sighed. Here we go again.

"Jacob, I've told you this at least ten times in the last month. It is over," I said, firmly.

"But I made you happy," he pleaded.

"No, you didn't," I said, quietly. "All you did was made me second guess myself. I had to act a certain way, dress a certain way. I don't like the person you force me to be when I am with you. You're controlling and, honestly, I'm tired of it. Edward-"

"Don't fucking talk about him," sneered Jacob, grabbing my arm.

"Let go of me," I cried. Jacob ignored me as he slung me down on the floor.

"You are mine, Bella," growled Jacob, towering over me.

"No, I'm not," I said, harshly as I scrambled to my feet.

"YOU ARE MINE, BELLA!" screamed Jacob, spraying pebbles of spit into my face.

"NO-"

I had barely gotten the word out of my mouth when Jacob backhanded me, sending me flying to the floor again. He pounced on me, pinning me down under his large body. I could feel the fear exploding out of me now. I knew this was a bad idea. Jacob held both my hands over my head with one of his large hands. He brought his other hand down to my shirt, ripping it open.

"Jacob, don't," I cried.

He ignored me as he pulling my breast into his hands roughly, groping me. I could taste the bile rising in my throat. There wasn't going to be any stopping him. My tears ran freely down my face as Jacob proceeded to strip the remainders of my clothes off, leaving me completely exposed under him. He was muttered under his breath about us belonging together and finally having what was his. All I could think of was how I shouldn't have come here.

Jacob reached down between us and started buckling his pants. I let out a frantic sob and tried once again to push him off of me but he was too strong. He tightened his grip on my hands. He pushed down his pants and pushed my knees apart. I closed my eyes as I felt him position himself against me. Without warning, Jacob thrust into me in one quick move.

"AAAHHH!" I screamed as the pain radiated through my body.

Jacob slapped his free hand over my mouth and started moving in and out of me. He didn't care that he was hurting me, killing me with each shift of his hips. He didn't care that he was taking away my innocence. He was panting heavily. His breath was hot and nauseating. He was grunting like a pig as he shoved himself into me over and over.

Finally, after what felt like forever, he finished his assault on my body. He rolled off of me. I scrambled to my feet, pulling on my clothes as fast as I could. Jacob reached out to grab my arm but I pushed him away. I took off running out of the house and jumped into my car, tears still falling down my face.

I drove away from there as fast as I could, waiting to put as much distance as I could between me and him. I slammed on my brakes when I reached the park and scrambled out of my car. I fell to the ground as my body was rocked with uncontrollable sobs. I crawled through the wet grass, desperately trying to find someplace safe. I pulled out my cell phone and called the one person I could trust right now.

"Hey, Baby," answered Edward, picking up the phone after the third ring.

"Edward," I sobbed. "I need you."

"Bella, what happen? Are you okay?" said Edward, "Where are you?."

"I need you, please," I sobbed "I'm at the park, please just come."

"I'll be right there," said Edward, "I love you Bella."

"I love you too," I whispered

When I hung up, I pulled my legs up to my chest and started rocking myself. Flashes of what had just happened ran through my mind. What did I do to deserve this? Will Edward stay with me after this? Will he think that I was back together with Jacob?

I was so caught up in my own thoughts that I didn't hear anyone around me until I felt somebody hugging and I started screaming, "PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!."

"Bella is me, love," said Edward "I'm not going to hurt you know that."

I turn around, looked up at his green eyes. I throw myself to Edward and started crying again. I held onto him as hard as I could. I was too afraid to let him go. I couldn't lose him, not now.

"Bella, love what happen?" asked Edward. "Why are you shaking?"

"I'm afraid that if I tell you, you'd leave me," I whispered. "Promise me that you won't leave."

"Love, no matter what you say I am not going to leave you," said Edward. "I promise."

I sighed, looking down at my feet. "Jacob has been calling me and texting me for the past month."

I could feel Edward tensing up, but I need to keep going, "I ignored, but he continued. I didn't know what to do, and I was afraid to tell you."

"Why were you afraid to tell me, Bella?" said Edward, "You know you can trust me with anything."

I took a big breath and started talking again, "I was on my way to your house, when Jacob called me again and I answered the phone. He said that he wanted to talk to me and I just wanted him to get out of my life. So I went to his house, but when I got there I had a bad feeling."

"Bella, love what happen?" said Edward.

"We started talking. I told him that I didn't want to be with him, that I was happy to be my old self again. That I'm in love with you, but when I said your name he…" I said.

"He what Bella?" said Edward.

"He hit me Edward. I tried to run away but he push to the ground so hard. I tried to scream but he covered my scream with his hand," I sobbed. "He started taking my clothes off…"

I could feel Edward shaking, but he didn't lose his embraced, "What did he do, Bella?" said Edward.

"Edward, he rape me," I sobbed and started shaking again. "I begged him to stop but he didn't! I feel so use, I feel so broken!"

Edward didn't move, he didn't say anything. I was thinking the worst. "I'll just go now. I understand that you don't want me anymore, because of this I'm sorry. Thanks for everything Edward, I love you."

I tried to stand up but my legs gave out on me and I stumbled to ground. I wrapped my arms around my body as I sobbed uncontrollably.

"Shh, love, I've got you," murmured Edward, lifting me into his arms.

"I'm so sorry, Edward," I cried, throwing my arms around him. "I'm so fucking sorry."

"It's okay, love," he whispered. "It's not your fault."

Edward settled on the ground with me in his arms. He rocked me back and forth, rubbing my back as I continued to cry. I wasn't sure why he was being so nice to me. Why wasn't he running from me? Isn't that what boys do to girls like me? Girls who are broken?

"You are not broken," he said, pressing his lips to the side of my head. "I am not leaving you, Bella. Ever."

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about his calls and texts," I whispered, tucking my head into the crook of his neck.

"You were scared or whatever," he murmured. "Bella, we need to go see my dad."

"What?" I asked, pulling back. "No, Edward. Nobody can know."

"Bella, he could have really hurt you," whispered Edward, bringing his hand up to my face. "You have to tell him and Charlie so they can put Jacob in jail, where he belongs."

"They'll blame me," I muttered, darkly as I looked away from him.

"No, they won't," whispered Edward, turning my face back to him.

"Will you stay with me?" I asked, quietly. "I can't...Please?"

"I am not going anywhere," he whispered, leaning his forehead down onto mine. "I promise."

Worrying on my bottom lip, I slowly nodded my head. "Okay."

Edward somehow managed to stand up with me in his arms still. He carried me over to his car and set me into the front seat. He placed a soft kiss onto my forehead before he shut the door. He ran around to the driver's seat and climbed in behind the wheel. He didn't say anything as he drove us through town to the hospital.

Edward pulled up in the parking lot and climbed out of the car. He ran around to my side of the car and helped me out. He kept his arm wrapped around my waist as he pulled me through the parking lot and into the emergency room. I ducked my face into his chest, feeling the shame of what I had done radiating off of me.

"Edward, what are you doing here?" asked one of the nurses.

"I'm looking for my dad," said Edward, clearing his throat. "Have you seen him? It's...its kind of important."

"I think he was checking on a patient upstairs," said the nurse. I could feel her eyes floating from me to Edward but I couldn't look at her. "Go wait in his office and I will page him."

"Thank you, Carmen," muttered Edward.

He tightened his arms around me and pulled me through the double doors that led to the examination rooms. He kept his arms around me as he pulled me down the hall under the intense gazes of the nurses and doctors that fluttered around the nurses' station. Edward pulled me into his father's office and held me tight in his arms. A few minutes later, the door to Carlisle's office opened.

"Edward, what are you doing here?" asked Carlisle, shutting his door. I peeked through my hair and looked over at him. "Carmen said it was important."

"Dad..." trialed off Edward, shaking his head.

"Ok, what the hell is going on?" asked Carlisle, shortly.

"Bella was raped," whispered Edward.
