I am soooooooooooooooooooooo sorry. I know I haven't updated in FOREVER! I've been really busy and the author's note tells some other reason… But I promise I will try to keep things good and not to do this again. My stories will be different. (At least to me) BTW in this story it has different information then in earlier chapters. And one day when I'm not lazy I'll change that. I hope you like them. Thank you all for reading. Without you guys, I would have given up. (:

Secrets keep things a mystery

But only if they aren't important

Only if no one can help you.

Can you help me?

By: Me

Previously:

I opened my mouth to say something but Edward beat me. "Yeah we didn't know what to bring to eat. We decided to bring the regular snacks." Edward says handing over the bowls to the 'couples'. We sat in the same seats as before. I hope this movie takes forever. I do not want to tell Edward. I sigh and Edward slowly puts his arm around me. I know we're supposed to be pretending but I couldn't help but snuggle up against him and let the darkness over take me.

BPOV:

I woke up to someone shaking me softly. I blink a few times, confused. When my vision came into focus, I saw Edward leaning above me. Crap! Did the movie end? I don't want to tell him but he deserves to know.

"Hey you're awake. The others just went up to bed. I said I'd wake you up and we'll pick up." He whispers.

"Okay. Do you want to clean up first or hear it…?" I whisper back. Why are we whispering? This is such a big house. No one will hear us.

"Let's clean up first. Then we can build a blanket fort and you can tell me. Alright?" I nod and start to get up before I get pulled back. I look over at Edward, confused. "Can't I get a kiss from my beautiful girlfriend?" He smiles before leaning in. He pecks my lips softly on the lips and pulls back. "Let's go." He stands up and holds out his hand.

After we were done cleaning up, I sat nervously on the couch. I don't want him to think of me differently. I know we haven't known each other for that long but I'm starting to really like him. He's different from all my crushes like Joe.

"Hey, it's okay." I look up at Edward and realize I was crying. "You don't have to tell me." He says gently.

"You deserve to know." I wipe my tears from my eyes. "I'm going to give you the short version. You don't need to know the big details." He nods. "Well back in Phoenix I had a small group of friends. There was Joe, Victoria, and James. Victoria and James were dating. Joe and I started dating a little before I moved." I took a deep breathe. "We were at a get together, playing truth or dare. Afterwards we decided it was time to leave. James and I started walking together because he lives right by me. There was this small forest that we had to walk by. I was walking on its edge when suddenly I was pushed to the ground. I looked up to see James hovering above me. He was unbuckling his belt. I started freaking out but I couldn't get up. After the fourth attempt, he kicked me in the head. I passed out but when I woke up he was…" I started crying as hard as I could. Edward just sat there, rubbing my back. Once I finally calmed down, I continued. "He was pulling up his pants. I looked over to see a condom wrapper on the side. That's when realization set in. Everything started to hurt. He looked at me and smirked. He said, 'I know you liked it. Don't even try to deny it like you did in the closet. This will be our little secret.' Then he walked away. After that it was so awkward. I withdrew from them a little bit. I didn't want to be in the same room as him. The only person I talked to a lot was Joe but he never found out. I finally convinced my mom to let me come here. Do you know what the worst parts of it were?" He shakes his head. "He took my innocence and he was my best friend." I start to cry even more. He held me until I finally ran out of tears.

"Is he who called you earlier?" He asks, hesitantly. I nod. "If I ever meet him he will wish he was never born!" He says angrily. "You know this doesn't change anything, right? I still want to be with you no matter what. But can I ask you a question?" I nod hesitantly. "What did he mean by denying it in the closet?" I breathe in slowly and clear my throat.

"When I was at my house with everyone, I went upstairs to get something from my room. He came in my room and dragged me into the closet. I thought nothing of it. We use to tell each other secrets in there all time. When he closed the doors, he started kissing me. I tried pushing him off and I finally succeeded. I told him that this was wrong to Vickie and that I didn't like him like that. He just shook his head angrily and left my room…"

"Bella, I am so sorry. You didn't deserve any of that. Will you still be my girlfriend?" I nod, happy that he still liked me. "And we can tell everyone tomorrow?"

"Yeah but they'll probably find out once they find us sleeping here on the couch again." I smile softly.

"Yup! Let's go to sleep. Goodnight, love." He kisses my forehead and I went to sleep with butterflies in my stomach and a weight off of my shoulders.

What did you guys think? Should we add Joe in here and have him find out? BUT this wont be a love triangle. What about James? Any ideas? Keep on voting for my stories and which ones to update! :D You guys are amazing. Any ideas are welcomed. Review! (:
