Hey guys, sorry I've been taking so long with my updates, I'm starting to think I'm working on too many stories at once. I also am getting rid of the flu. WHO CATCHES A FLU IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER? But anyway, I've been trying to sleep it off so I am not doing too much writing. But I'm going to write now.

Bella's POV

The first time he touched me. The first time. That's all I could think of as I fell asleep. And then I dreamed about it.

I was laying in bed looking at the bruise on my tummy. It was big and looked like James's shoe print. Stupid girl. Who forgets to take the black socks out the white clothes? Just one black sock, because I don't pay attention. Because I'm a lazy whore. James's words. James came in my room and I jumped up to cover up my stomach.

"Hello pet" He said, giving me a new nickname on the spot. "I have a new job for you to do for me"

I looked at him with wide eyes, fearful, but silent.

"Let me teach you how this works, follow my lead and you will learn quickly"

He sat on my bed and kissed my lips. I pulled back in surprise.

"What are you doing? Where is Vicky?"

"I'm teaching you" He said. "Vicky is shopping. And if you tell her about this she will be mad at you and beat you. So you have to learn to keep secrets." He leaned foward and kissed me again. He pushed me down to the bed. "If anyone ever finds out you will be in big trouble. I'm protecting you. And you have to do this for every man nice to you, to show thanks. Or you will be punished by them. Worse than how I punish you"

"No" I cried uncomfortable and scared.

"No stop" I screamed jumping up in my bed.

Edward came into my room out of nowhere and I screamed again.

"NO" I cried, screaming fearfully. "Get out, get out"

"Bella calm down, you had a nightmare. You are okay." He smiled. "Relax"

He pushed me down onto my back softly and rubbed my hair. I screamed until my throat felt like it ripped. He was going to do it too. I turned, screaming into my pillow. I choked and couldn't breath. Edward was still rubbing my back and I was still screaming when I heard other voices. I couldn't stop screaming, it was too late. I tried to fight against the hands, but it didn't work. Then I felt a pain in my leg, and fell back to sleep.

Edward's POV

I listened to Bella screaming even though it felt like stabs straight into my heart. Carlisle and Esme came in, trying to calm down her scream. But after 5 full minutes of screaming, Carlisle had to give her a sedative. Almost automatically she calmed down and fell back to sleep.

"What happened" Carlisle whispered in distress.

"She had a nightmare" I said, watching her with a frown. "She wouldn't calm down when I came in"

I lifted her from her uncomfortable spot, laying her back down straight. I covered her with her comforter and looked at her face. She looked peaceful but her face was taking its time recovering from screaming, it was still pink. Her cheeks were still flushed.

"I know this is because of HIM" I seethed, clenching my fists. "He... Broke her! I'll kill him!"

"Edward, I know how you feel, but you have to calm down" Carlisle said.

"Don't tell me to calm down" I seethed. "He touched her and she's too afraid to tell anyone what happened. She's only 8 who knows when that even started."

"I know" Carlisle frowned. "But your anger will not help her at all. She's scared enough as it is"

I sighed, he was right. We left her room and she slept until the next morning.

She got up and locked herself in her room, then locked herself in her bathroom. I heard her shower start running and smelled the tears. My heart broke. She got in the shower despite the heat of it, it was hot enough that the smell seemed to fill the house. And after two hours I ran up to her room. I knocked furiously and had to let myself in when she didn't answer. I felt bad for using the extra key, but I had to check on her. She didn't answer as I banged on her bathroom door. I panicked and let myself in, flanked by Rosalie and Esme.

"Bella" I demanded.

When she didn't answer I opened the curtain. She sat on the floor of the tub, naked, face hidden in her knees which were pulled up to chest. Smoke filled the bathroom. Every inch of exposed skin was beat red. I flinched in shock, Esme gasped. Rosalie rushed to shut off the water, Bella stayed silent. She whimpered when I grabbed her and pulled her tiny fram from the shower. I was so relieved to hear her make noise I wanted to cry.

I knew if she was in the right state of mind she would have flipped about anyone seeing her naked, but she didn't. She stood, looking straight, eyes vacant, and completely silent.

"Bella" I cried, trying to get a response from her.

Nothing about her stance changed. So I shook her. Her eyes seemed to rattle around her head. She looked around in a glazed stance, steam practically coming off of her. She seemed completely unaware that she was in front of 3 people,including a guy, completely unclothed.

"Do you want me to?" She finally whispered, voice cracking.

She didn't look up at me, she still stared past me vacantly. As if she had pushed herself to the back of her head and was a robot.

"Do what?" I asked confused and scared about how she was acting.

"Show thanks" She continued. "I am not ungrateful. I will take care of you"

At that moment Rosalie looked like she was going to vomit. Take care of him? Show thanks? That sick bastard! What did he each her?! And I caught on. Then I wanted to vomit.

"No" Rosalie said, hardly gentle.

She lifted Bella out of the bathroom and rushed to dress her in loose pajamas. Every time the fabric brushed against her skin, Bella whinced. But she didn't change her demeanor.

"Don't ask" Alice's voice traveled up to Bella's room.

I missed her vision, but she was tearful and sobbing. I didn't answer her. I sat behind Bella on her bed and asked Esme and Rose to leave. They nodded hesitantly. Alice sobbed harder.

"Rose you shouldn't stay, or anyone else." Alice said. "Trust me, if you stay you'll destroy the house, she'll get hurt. Edward just don't ask"

I ignored her, I didn't even know what she was talking about. And I didn't care. I heard the family leaving slowly and confusedly.

"Bella" I spoke.

She sat up straighter, hearing me.

"How do you show thanks? How do you take care of" I stopped.

Bella opened her mouth and took a deep breath. I knew automatically she would answer me.

"I..."

Okay, stopping here. This was a really hard chapter for me to write. The next chapter won't be updated for a few days because I'm moving. And I have to pack and stuff, I will be writing but I wont have internet until I am at my new place. Sorry guys. But like I said, I will be writing. So review.

Okay so I need to take a survey. Skip over Bella's response and let you guys get the general jist of it, or let her respond in the next chapter. This is tough I know, but I will only do what you guys want.
