Last chapter:
"On the charges of rape in the first degree. We find the defendant guilty."
I could barely breathe witch was weird because I felt light as air. Like a crushing weight was lifted from my body. Phil was guilty. I kept waiting for someone to wake me up from a dream but it never came. I gasped not realizing I had been holding my breath.
I felt pressure on my hand and the electricity running through my body told me it was Edward. He tugged me into him hugging me tightly. I was surprised to find I was crying. The judge banged the gavel trying to get order in the court. I looked over and saw Charlie was crying. I hugged him. We did it I was finally free. I could see and feel the weight this lifted off him and Edward.
I glanced at my mother who was hysterically crying. I was too afraid to look at Phil too afraid of what I might see. But I told myself I would one last time. He would not get the best of me. He would be gone and for once, I would get the last laugh.
I glanced over and he was smiling at me. I felt my heart constrict the look on his face was chilling. The judge adjourned the court then. We were getting up to leave. Charlie was talking to sue and Edward grabbed my hand and started leading me out.
All of a sudden there was a bang and commotion behind me. I turned around to see Phil pointing a gun at me.
I froze feeling paralyzed. It was as if those seconds went in slow motion. I screamed. Edward was Turing and I swear before he pulled the trigger, he smiled. I heard the bang. Then I was on the floor, being crushed by a heavy weight. Then the weight was gone. I heard another gunshot go off and I jumped. When I glanced over to see what had been on me I halted it was Charlie. He was bleeding he had been shot. I was shaking I leaned over him, tears pooling in my eyes.
"Daddy no hold on you're going to be ok," I sad putting pressure on the bleeding it was right above his heart. I screamed "help!"
Then Edward was there he took of his jacket and had me hold it. Within minutes there was an ambulance there driving him away .I sat in the truck juts think he had to be ok. We pulled in and ii was forced to wait in the waiting area.
Edward walked in pulling me to him. "Are you ok? What did they say?" he questioned.
I just nodded trying not to fall apart. This couldn't be happening.
It felt like forever before Edwards dad came out to talk to us. "Bella he lost a lot of blood but we've stabilized him he will be fine his being taken to a room now you should be able to see him shortly." He smiled
"Oh thank you Carlisle," I cried hugging him. "Don't thank me bells aim just glad I could help"
Edward hugged his dad then. He turned to me to pull me in and I just cried smiling he was going to be ok. I was finally going to be ok.
Epilogue
(6 months later)
A lot had changed in the last six months. After the trial, Charlie had spent a few weeks in the hospital. Everything had healed great. Him and sue had gotten really close during the trial and had started to date. I was so happy he had found someone. I couldn't believe everything he had done for me. He saved me in so many ways and I could honestly say he was the best father anyone could ask for.
My mother still hadn't talked to me. She was convinced that what happened that day was due to anger of being wrongfully convicted. After Charlie had stabilized in the hospital. We found out that Phil was shot multiple times he somehow managed to pull through and was now doing life for attempted murder and rape. I was sure my mom had the baby from my calculations. I hoped that one day I would be able to know my sister. If not at least I know, I saved her from my past becoming her future.
We had graduated a 2 months ago and we all were off to college in Seattle. I was studying art and Edward was studying music. We were set to leave tonight. We were driving in to the city to be alone before everyone else moved in a week. Apparently Edwards's parents had a home there, so we were moving in and planning to live there while we attended school. All of us wanted to stick together being that we had become inseparable.
We still hadn't been together physically. We had decided to wait a little longer and enjoy our relationship the way it was first. We had almost done it a few times but we were finding it hard to be alone uninterrupted. So we thought it best to wait till we moved. So with help from the girls and Victoria secret. I was going to seduce Edward when we were alone tonight.
I was just finishing packing. Edward was loading the car. I had one more bag to go in. I put it in the truck and sighed taking a look at the first home, I ever found at 17. My dad walked up and pulled me into a bone crushing hug.
He was crying. I could feel the moisture in my hair. "Dad I'll be fine I promise ill come visit all the time," I said holding back tears.
"I love you Bella. I hate to see you leave I just got you back and now you're going again," he sighed pulling away.
His words made my eyes pool with tears, "I love you daddy I'll call you every other day promise."
"Don't lie just keep in touch baby girl. Edward take care of my little girl." He said Turing to Edward and patting him on the back. "I'm putting her safety in your hands now so don't let me down," he winked.

Charlie had given me his blessing. Tonight I was going to ask Bella to marry me. I was sure I wanted to spend my life with her. After everything we went through together. Now that she was safe from Phil. I knew I could never live without her. Charlie getting shot has put thinks in perspective and I didn't know what I would have done if it was her.
We drove in comfortable silence listening to the radio. I was so excited to be going to college and living with Bella. I knew we were young but, I also knew she was it for me. I loved her more than words could explain.
We were pulling in to the home my parents had kept in Seattle for summers. Esme had it renovated to fit our needs. I couldn't wait to show Bella our room. It was a large brick colonial home in settle about 5 miles for the school. The inside had been done in modern decor it had a pool and a movie room. Bella was in awe. I pulled her up to our room so she could see. We had the master it had a king size bed in the middle with a massive black head board. The walls were adorned with book shelves full of books and movies. It had a huge flat screen and desk in the corner. She gasped, "Wow Edward it's beautiful." I took a breath dropping down it was time.

I turned around to see Edward kneeling on one knee box in his hand. I was dumb struck. He grabbed my hand and spoke.
"Bella I know were young but, I love you and I know that you are it for me. You're the strongest most beautiful person I've ever met. I know you are still a little broken but, I want to spend the rest of my live putting you back together. Will you marry me?" he asked eyes pleading.
I just sat there Edward just proposed. Oh my god! I was only 18. Oh my god! Looked at him and the ring, just so stunned. "Bella say something," he said nervously.
"Oh my god," I gasped. "Yes!" I beamed. He was all I wanted too.
I kissed him and he slid the ring on. It was a simple silver band with a square cut framed champagne diamond I the center. I kissed him again and our kiss depend. I needed him I couldn't wait anymore. I pulled back "Edward please I need you." I said breathless. He hitched my legs around his waist and carried me to the bed gently laying me down.
"Are you sure?" he questioned.
I just nodded he leaned in and tailed kisses from my neck to my lips. Each one slow and deliberate. All the while his hands ghosted under the hem of my shirt. He pulled away gently pulling it over my head. Leaving me in the black lace see-through bra I was wearing.
He sighed "god Bella you're so beautiful," he kissed the curve of my breast.
He unbuttoned my jeans and slid them down torturously slow. Once they were off. I slid back on the bed beckoning him to come on and join me. He removed his clothes. Edward naked was something to admire. His physiques was built and still lean. I drank him in my gaze following the v pointing me to his very predominant member. He crawled on the bed and bent down to kiss my lips.
"I love you Bella so much." he whispered unclasping my bra and then he took one of my nipples in his mouth. Nibbling and biting working them over one by one. The sensation was amazing. My hands fisted his hair and a moan fell from my lips. He dipped his hand in my panties. Gliding his thumb between my wet folds, gently caressing.
"Edward," I inhaled.
He removed my panties. I felt him insert a finger curving it upwards hitting magic spots. Then he added another. I felt the pressure building. It was becoming too much. I was so close.
"Let go baby," he said biting my ear lobe. Then it happened, I felt like I shattered in to million pieces. The tingles spreading through me. Edward positioned himself between my legs. I could feel him hovering just outside were I wanted him. I wrapped my leg around his waist and pulled him into me.
We gasped at the same time. As he deliciously stretched me sliding deeper and deeper till he was buried in me as far as he could go.
"God Bella you feel so amazing," he said resting his head in the crook of my neck. He begin to move slowly at first. Soon we both became more desperate he pulled out almost all the way and buried himself deep inside me again. The sensations was amazing. I whimpered not being able to control my labored breathing. I was building again so closed.
Edwards movements we becoming frantic. He started to drive deeper and deeper. Tiny moans coming from his lips. "Shit Bella," he ad staring into my eyes and I felt my body rock with an orgasm more powerful than the first. My eyes closed and he kept moving, kissing my neck. I felt him grow harder as my walls clenched around him. With one more thrust he released and slowed collapsing on me, kissing me nuzzling my neck.
"I love you Bella." he said pulling me on his chest.
"I love you too, more then you could ever know."
