Chapter Eleven 'Nightmare'

Bella found herself back inside that apartment with Paul over her. He was hitting her ripping off her clothes and doing horrible things to her. "NO!!" Bella screamed out.

"You are mine!!" Paul yelled out.

"NO!!" Bella screamed sitting up.

Edward imediately went over to her and began to shaker her awake. "Bella," he said. "It's a dream," he said as her eyes jolted open and she backed away from him.

"Don't touch me," Bella said shaking her head.

"Bella its me," Edward said looking at her with hurt in his eyes.

"Don't touch me," Bella said firmly. "Please," she said begging.

"Edward," Rosalie said coming into the room. "Can I talk with you?" She asked.

"Sure," Edward said coming out of the room with her.

"Look," Rosalie said turning around. "She just wasn't beat," she said. "When me and Esme cleaned her up it looked like," she said looking down.

"He raped her," Edward said clenching his fist.

"Yes," Rosalie said nodding her head. "She isn't going to want to be touched by men for awhile even if that man is you," she said. "Just give her some time," she said.

"I need to go," Edward said rushing out of the house.

Bella had huddled against the head board and was just staring off into space. Emmett came into the room with Rosalie behind her. "I made some food," Emmett said. "Your favortie grill cheese," he said setting it down but she didn't say anything.

"Come on," Rosalie said leading him out of the room.

Bella looked over at the food and reached for the plate. She took of a bite of it and smiled. Edward was hitting a tree over and over again as Carlsile came behind him. "How could I leave her?" He asked.

"You thought you were protecting her," Carlisle said looking over at her.

"I told her I didn't love her," Edward said looking at him and he looked down. "I thought it would help her move on," he said softly. "And it did," he said looking down.

"Look," Carlisle said. "I know for a fact that Bella hasn't forgotten you," he said. "She says your name a lot in her sleep," she said softly.

"Really?" Edward asked looking up at him.

"Yes," Carlisle said softly. "But she is going through a lot," he said. "Just give her some time," she said softly. "She might talk to you soon," he said.

"If she talks to anyone I would be happy," Edward said softly.

Bella came down the stairs slowly and everyone looked in her direction. She sat the plate down on the counter and looked over at Emmett. "Thank you," she said causing him to smile.

Bella went to turn around when Jasper touched her feeling her emotion. Everyone was in complete shock that he didn't kill her. "Its not your fault," Jasper said. "You should not feel disgusted," he said.

"But I do," Bella said before heading back upstairs.

"What happened?" Alice asked.

"She thinks she doesn't deserve to live," Jasper said. "We need to keep an eye on her," he said with a panic look in his eyes and they all looked in her direction.

Bella was sitting up in the bed when Rosalie came through the door. "Hey," she said.

"Hey," Bella said. "Look I'll be leaving soon," she said. "So," she said. "I just want to thank you all," she said causing her to sit down.

"What makes you think you need to leave?" Rosalie asked causing her to smile.

"I am not your problem anymore," Bella said softly.

"You were never a problem Bella," Rosalie said. "I know all the stuff you are going through," she said softly. "I have been violated by men before," she said touching her hand.

"He wasn't like this before," Bella said. "When we first met he was great, sweet, didn't push," she said looking down.

"What happened?" Rosalie asked.

"There was this friend and he was guy," Bella said. "And I had a lot of guy friends," she said. "He locked me in our apartment, made me quit school, made me cook for him," she said. "I really thought he was going to turn me but he said he wanted me submissive," she said.

"So he could beat you," Rosalie said with anger in her eyes.

"I have never felt so dirty in my life," Bella said. "He did whatever he wanted to me," she said looking down at the floor. "I hate myself," she said causing Rosalie to hug her close.

"This is not you fault," Rosalie said. "And will get him," she said firmly. "I promise," she said stroking her back and Bella just cried into her shoulder.

"I am so tired," Bella said softly.

"Get some sleep," Rosalie said softly.

"Everytime I do," Bella said. "I see his face," she said causing her to rush out of the room. Then rush back into the room holding up a doll. "What is it?" She asked.

"This is suppose to scare of bad dreams," Rosalie said. "Carlisle gave it to me when he brought me here and it helped," she said softly.

"Thanks," Bella said holding it in her arms and then laying down on the bed. Rosalie walked out of the room and hoped that she would be okay.
