"We should get back." He finally said after a few minutes of perfect silence.

I just nodded. We both reluctantly let go of each other. The walk back to the Cullen's house was a lot quicker then when I walked away.

Edward was still holding my hand as we reached the door. He opened the door slightly before he turned to face me.

"Are you going to tell them?" he asked. His voice was deadly serious.

"Yes. You have to stop them from trying to murder him though. Not that I'll mind." I told him honestly. He nodded and opened the door fully.

"I'm not making any promises." He mumbled to me as they all came rushing into the room.

They all froze as their eyes zoned in on mine and Edward's linked hands. I cringed back a bit and Edward started to shuffle his feet. He tightened his grip on my hand and rubbed his thumb over my hand trying to calm me down . . . it didn't work.

"I found her?" Edward said weakly. Trying to get their attention off our hands. It sounded like a question by the time he finished. Rose was the first one to stop staring at our hands.

"We will have details, later on. Bella you have some explaining to do!" she informed me. She silently walked over to the sofa in the middle of the room and sat down. Edward followed her lead and pulled me to a chair he wanted to sit in. I gave him a confused look as he sat down before he pulled me onto his knee.

I blinked and everyone else had sat down. Esme and Carlisle were holding each other hands whilst sitting next to Rose. Emmett was next to Rose's feet. Jasper and Alice were sat on the other chair in the same position as Edward and I.

Okay . . . I have to tell them. Alice and Rose (Rose is going to take this the worse out of everyone!) are going to have a bitch-fit that I lied to them. Jasper and Emmett are going to . . . I don't actually know what they are going to do. Carlisle and Esme . . . they are going to tell me to report it to the police . . . report it to my dad? HECK NO!

I turned to face Edward. I silently begged for him to say instead of me. This was going to be uncomfortable.

"I'm going to start but I don't think I'll be able to finish." I whispered honestly to him. He just nodded.

I turned to face everyone. I made sure I looked both Rose and Alice in the eyes before talking.

I took a few deep breaths to calm down.

"Alice, Rose. Last night I didn't tell you the whole truth." I stopped and waited for the reactions. As my words clicked into place both their faces. They both stared at me in shock, both looking insulted and hurt.

"Harry wasn't the only one who hurt me. The second largest wound, he didn't do it." My voice slipped into a low un-moved tone. Edward shuddered and started to take deep calming breathes.

"Who then?" Emmett demanded. It was the calm before the storm. Here we go . . .

"Mike" I used the same tone as before but it didn't calm him or any of them down any more. Emmett and Jasper jumped up, causing Alice to fly forward, landing perfectly straight on her feet right in front of me. Rose stayed sat perfectly like a statute made of marble. I didn't see Esme or Carlisle reactions as Emmett was in the way.

"As in Newton? Wimpy Newton who followed that thing around?" Jasper asked sounding astonished.

"Can you stop calling Harry the thing? It's really annoying!" Edward suddenly said. The atmosphere in the whole room changed. I cringed into Edward in an attempt to get away from the looks of horror coming from his family. They weren't even aimed at me!

"What? We all hate him but he has a name!" was how he defended himself. I groaned. He's lucky they haven't started attacking him.

"Before you kill Edward." I quickly yelled as they all started to silently fume. "I'll try to explain why he . . . doesn't want you to call him that." I added in a hurry. Putting my hands up – showing that I meant no harm.

They started to calm down (A bit – at least)

"Harry is a bad guy. He is evil, we all know that. He does have one redeeming quality." My throat stared to close up and tears started coming to my eyes. I looked desperately at Edward; he nodded before telling them about the whole Mike incident.

Rose froze and our eyes locked for a few seconds. We would be having a long conversation soon. Alice started screeching plans of murder. Emmett kept looking at Rose and then me before shaking his head – he looked like he was mentally beating him self up. Jasper was attempting to calm down Alice, keeping an eye on Rosalie and trying to comfort me. (For a boy – he can multi-task!!)

Esme kept eyeing the phone. She was not going to call Mike's parents!

"Esme, I don't think calling his parents will make a big difference." I said softly to her. Her eyes flashed to mine and she got a light blush on her cheeks.

"How did you know I was thinking that, dear?" she asked softly back.

"I did practically live here for a bit. I didn't just forget what you were like." I explained. A little offended that she forgot that I used to be here everyday.

"I know. I didn't forget what you were like either." She sighed with a small smile. I couldn't help but smile back. She had always been like the mom that I didn't have . . . well the mom that I lost.

She looked at the phone again. "It won't help." I said firmly. Carlisle started to chuckle lightly at us.

"Are you going to tell the police?" he asked. Looking me dead in the eye. I already had my answer but something in the look he gave me made me want to change my mind.

"No I'm not" I said weakly. That's when they all (I mean every single one of them!) started complaining.

I wanted to listen to what they were saying but I just drowned it out. Thankfully my phone started to ring again. It was an un-known number.

"Hello?" I asked caustically. After shushing the whole room. All their eyes were locked on me.

"Hello darling!" a sarcastic slurred voice screeched down the phone. NO NO NO NO NO
