Carlisle settles down in the chair beside my bed and looks at me waiting for more. I take a deep breath and stare off into the world around me. I know I must feel something, but at the moment I feel numb, This feeling surrounds me, and I venture into the unknown.
"After all the police reports and restraining orders we filed against James and anyone else affiliated with him, my whole family was drained. My mom and Dad refused to leave my side, but considering James' threat we had to move. I had forgotten about my birthday until the day before my mom came into my room while I was midway packing away some of my things in a box. She handed me a duffle bag full of new clothes and a round trip ticket. The plane would leave that night, and would arrive at midnight September 13th, the day of my birthday. She drove me to Jacob's house later; his dad was supervising us for the week, and she kissed me on my forehead saying that she would see me the following Monday. As I got out of the car, and I watched her drive away my cell phone buzzed with a text: 'Happy Early Birthday, I'm watching you Love ;)'
I shook off the shiver that traveled down my back and ran into the house to go see Jake. I missed him, and I told myself that he was all I needed."

Her story becomes detailed and for once I see a genuine smile on her face when she speaks Jake's name. I make a mental note to find out who this man could be and what became of him before giving her my undivided attention. Darkness falls outside and she gets another far away look in her eyes. I see her lips moving, but I know that she must be a million miles from here.

"My week had been amazing. It was full of fun moments. Jake and I rode all of the rollercoasters until we puked, and my mother and father called every night to see how I was doing. They loved me and made sure I didn't need anything while I was away. When I made it back home I was so relieved. The plane touched down in Forks and my Mother picked us up. After taking Jacob and Billy home we made our way to our new home."
(Memory:)
"Dad!" I called his name as soon as I walked into the unfamiliar apartment, that my mother had awkwardly called our new home. It had nothing on our beautiful house with it's yellow walls and blue shutters. My mind stopped when I saw Charlie's face.
"Dad, I missed you."
"I missed you to Bells." He hugged me close and I knew that for the moment I was safe; I never want to leave. "Want to watch the game tonight kiddo?"
I thought of saying no, but the look on his face made me say otherwise, "Sure."
(end)
"I fell asleep with my head rested on top his lap, I still remember my mother softly humming the notes of Claire De Lune."
"When I think of the last time I saw my parents… I try not to." I look towards Carlisle when I say this statement, but he seems to be confused, so I continue, "Instead I think of the memory I just told you, and all I can hear is the twinkling bells of her voice. In my mind it's better than music." I pause again, and looking towards him I try to read his face. I know that when I begin the next part of my story there is no going back. I want to tell him to step out of my life before I let him in, but something about the look he gives me begs me to continue. "The last time I saw my parents faces is a day I'll never forget."
(Memory:)
The day was so wonderful. I had just come home from Disneyland, and I had the opportunity to feel safe in my parents arms again. There has been no sign from him. I woke up that night with my cover surrounding me, My throat was raw from screaming , and I was drenched in sweat. "Don't worry," I whispered to myself, "Mom and dad should be coming soon." I sat and waited. There was no sign of movement in the house. I got up and started to walk down the hallway. I felt prickles of nervousness travel up my body as I moved closer to their room, and when I saw their bodies laying there I didn't see the constant rise and fall of their chests.
"Mom, Dad?" I whispered. When they didn't answer I started to panic. I walked towards them and when I touch the covers the smell hit me. Blood. I looked at my hands and even though it was dark I knew what my fingertips were covered in. "AHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed, "Mom and Dad, please wake up!"
"You see what I had to do, baby?" The voice sent chills up my spine and I wished I was having another nightmare, but I knew I wasn't. "They wouldn't let us be together, so I had to get rid of them, and now I can have you all to myself." My mind was reeling at the possibility that he was standing right behind me and as I whirled around I tried to make my eyes adjust to the black sea of darkness that seemed to surround me at all angles.
"Don't look so scared sweetheart, I'll hold you if you want me to." And that's when I felt his breath scanning over my skin; his fingertips lightly brushed against the back of my neck, "I've always loved you Isabella. Since the first day I saw you."
"Why did you kill my parents?" I asked while trying to decide which was to run.
"I had to baby, they were getting in the way of our love."
All it took was those simple words to push me, and I took off down the hall. "Don't run from me Isabella!" His voice rang out behind me, and my heart started to beat faster; he was going to kill me next. I ran into the kitchen and hoped the darkness would hide me as I took cover under the isle in the middle of the room. "I don't like to fucking play games, Isabella! Come out or I will be very angry; you won't like it when I'm angry." I listened to his foot steps, 1,2. 1,2. 1,2. 1,2. They began to fade and it was then that I decided to leave my hiding spot.
Before I could take one step my body came crashing into the isle and I felt his hands on me; I tried to lash out against him, and when I screamed his hand came crashing down on the side of my face. "Don't you ever run from me bitch!" Tears started to roll down my face as I realized what he was going to do. He's not going to kill me; he's going to rape me. He ripped my shirt from my body and as much as I screamed I feared no one heard me, because he continued. My clothes were scavenged off my body and he entered me. Something inside of me clicked. I feel dirty; I feel used. I had lost all innocence in this moment, My parents are dead, and I have nothing to live for. Reaching behind the isle as he thrusted into me I grabbed the first sharp cooking utensil I felt. The blade dug into my skin as I gripped it and I struck him with it.
"AHHHHHH!" he screamed out in pain, and I struck him again. When he let go of me I ignored the pain In between my legs and ran to the nearest house to me.
"Help!" I screamed as I threw my fists at the door, "I need help."
(end)
"I don't remember much after that, except the scream of the woman as she answered the door, and waking up in a hospital bed the next day. I still feel cold inside; he robbed me of everything good in my life."
"And…" Carlisle's voice is surprisingly soft, before be blows up. "And what happened to that bastard!" he exclaims, "I hope they gave him a proper prison burial!"
I look down at the mention of James, and I remember the reason I never want to leave this place unless it's in my own personal body bag, "They never found his body."
"What do you mean?" He asks as if he didn't hear me the first time.
"When I woke up at the hospital, I was in hysterics over it all. They didn't want to tell me, but I insisted to learn it all. The police told me that all that was left was a trail of blood leading out of the kitchen and disappearing into the grass outside."
"Is that all Bella?" He asks
"Written in his blood that that covered the isle he stole my virginity were the words: "We're not over and it will never be over unless we live together forever in eternity."

"Do you want to stay here Bella?" I ask her suddenly. I know that she may say yes, but I also feel the need to protect her. She doesn't deserve this.
"No, but I don't really have much of a choice. I'm damaged goods. I was raped, and I've been hollow ever since the day I found my parent's body; besides, where would I go? No one wants me, even my God parents and best friend gave up on me." A tear rolls down her face, "It's all my fault Carlisle, I should've talked. I should've told them my story."
I shush her silent pleas and when I approach her I take her hand in mine; once again I'm reminded of the innocence I feel when I hold the hands of my own daughters. "It was your story to tell," I say, "and if they didn't want to be patient with you, they didn't deserve you." For the first time since I've been trying to unlock Isabella's mind, she smiles.
I walk up to the front desk at the front of the asylum, and nurse Lauren tries to catch my eye. "Hello Doctor-" She stops short when she sees Bella trailing behind me. Silently I slide the papers within her line of vision and say, "These are Bella's release papers; and this is her last day here." The look on Lauren's face is priceless, "So Bella are you ready to go home?"
"Yes."
I know you guys waited FOREVER for this, but was it worth the wait?
Please R & R! Tell me what you think; GOOD or BAD.
