To MaxWannaBe, Thank you for reviewing! I have tried to email but it didn't work.
Also special thanks to Drish for her help with this chapter.
Last chapter
"It's ok Bella, you're safe here." She promised, I tried to smile at her through the quiet stream of tears I now had running down my face. I hoped she was right; after all, I had just signed my own death warrant.
B POV
After the police had left I had retreated to my room, I spent a few hours curled up on my bed, just relieving the past few days. I wondered what Victoria was doing, how she had reacted to the police showing up on her doorstep. I don't know how long I stayed there, long enough for me to relieve every memory of my pathetic life. I was close to falling asleep, when there was a knock at my door.
"Bella?" a gentle voice called from behind the door. Edward's voice.
"Can I come in?" he asked. I sat up and wiped at my face.
"Yes." I croaked.
"Hey." He said entering the room.
"Hey." I croaked back.
"How are you?" he asked, placing a glass of water in my hand. I smiled at him.
"Thank you." I said gulping down the water. He smiled at me.
"Your welcome."
"Do you want to talk about it?" he asked softly.
"You can trust me Bella. I'm here." I stared at him and then suddenly I was crying again. He rushed to the bed and sat down beside me.
"Shh. Bella it's ok, you're safe now." He whispered into my hair, where his head rested.
"Wh-what did I do Edward?"
"Nothing. Bella what are you talking about?" he asked confused.
"Why did she hurt me, what did I do?"
"Oh Bella. You didn't do anything you hear me. Victoria was an evil, evil woman."
"Was she Edward? Was she really, maybe I did something that made her that way. Maybe what has happened to me is all my fault. I deserved everything she ever did to me." He pulled my up to face me.
"Now you listen to me Isabella Swan, none, I repeat none of this was your fault. You hear me?" he asked firmly.
"I'm so sorry Bella, I wish that I could do more to make you hurt a little less. Just know, I'm here now and I'm going to try my hardest to make sure nothing ever hurts you again." This only caused me to sob harder. What had I done to deserve such an angel?
He pulled me to his chest.
"It's ok, you're safe. Sleep now my angel." He whispered as I slowly slipped into unconsciousness.
E POV
I went to lay Bella gently in her bed.
"No, please don't leave me." She whimpered, still half asleep.
"I won't." I promised her. I lent back against her pillows, pulling into my arms. I subconsciously patted her hair as I went over our conversation in my head. I was infuriated that Bella could believe that what Victoria had done to her could possibly be her fault.
"Bella?" there was a knock at the door.
"Come in." I said quietly. Esme stuck her head around the door.
"Edward what are y- oh. How is she?"
"Honestly, not good." She nodded sadly.
"Did you want me to give you a hand to move her?" she asked me.
"No, it's ok. I promised her I'd stay." She nodded.
"Ok, goodnight Edward."
"Night." I said as she shut the door. I sighed and pulled Bella gently closer to me.
"Goodnight my angel." I mumbled, as I feel asleep.
AN: I'm so sorry it's so short, but I wanted to get this out tonight and I have an essay to finish.
Whoop! Chapter 10, please review and tell me what you think. I love feedback.
