Thanks for everything, guys. I checked this over myself so sorry for mistakes.

21. Ready to break

Everything I love was made of porcelain,
ready to break.
But the bright, staggering light, it anxiously awaits inside.
Like nesting dolls, the secret hides.
And like every birth, it was a necessary pain...

Sleeping At Last – Porcelain

I stood in the main waiting room for the police to arrive; I kept pacing the floor running my fingers through my hair. I knew it was him, I just knew it. So many questions were clouding my mind, and I couldn't answer any of them, it was as if they were tormenting me. Rubbing it in that I wasn't there to protect her. That I don't know how long this was going on for, that she didn't come to me asking for help. Not once. If she had just spoken to me once...

She shouldn't have been afraid from him, I would have been there for her, and I wouldn't let him touch her.

"Edward, just sit down." I looked up to see Alice sat next to Jasper, her small fingers laced through his. My brows knitted together, "I'm just saying you're not doing any one any good pacing around like that, all we can do is wait."

"I don't want to sit down." I told Alice, like a petulant child.

"There is nothing we can do, what's done is done." She said softly, her voice barely registering to me.

"Fuck, shut up! You don't get, do you Alice? There is nothing we can do now but what about before? We should have seen what he was doing to her, we should have helped her but we didn't." She stood up, her eyes cutting into mine. Her pale cheeks had gone bright red from anger, she was about to walk up to me, I knew it but Jasper stopped her by wrapping his arms around her waist and pulled her into his lap. She relaxed instantaneously from his touch.

At that moment I envied my family so much, they were surrounded by the people they loved whilst the love of my life was lying in a hospital room and I didn't even know what was properly wrong with her. "I'm s-sorry, Alice."

Alice got out of Jaspers grip and walked over to me; she stood on her tip toes and wordlessly pulled me into a hug. I bent my body a little so it was easier for my little sister to hug me, "its okay, I get it you're angry, don't worry."

"Edward." Emmett called; I looked up to see 2 uniformed officers stood there, waiting for me. Alice went to sit back down with Jasper whilst I walked over to the officers.

The first officer was young with dark hair, he shook my hand telling me his name was Ben Cheney, the second officer looked older but only my a few years with dark blond hair, and his name was Demetri Voltolina.

"Edward Cullen."

"We're looking for an" Officer Cheney looked down at his notepad to read, "Dr. Carlisle Cullen."

"That's my dad; I'll take you to him." I turned to walk down the white hallways to my dad. Once we had reached Angela's room, my dad came out seeing the officers. They followed him into his office to get a statement off him; I wanted to sit and wait outside Angela's room but my dad told me she wouldn't be waking up soon as they sedated her.

I went over to my family to wait with them; I reached them to see Emmett on the phone he looked up at my presence holding the phone out to me.

"Who is it?" I asked, taking the phone out of his hand.

"Its mom, she's worried."

"Hello? Mom?" my voice sounded weak even to my own ears, I didn't have any energy left in me, and I was mentally and physically drained.

"Yes, honey. How are you? Angela?" She asked.

"I-I don't know, dad couldn't tell me about any of it but the police are here and they're talking to him in his office right now. Oh, did you get hold of her parents for me?"

"I did get hold of Angela's mother, they're extremely worried about her but I tried to calm them down which is difficult with little information. Anyway they are driving out tonight but the earliest they can get back is tomorrow due to the snow."

"That's okay; I'll be staying with her."

"Okay, sweetie, I'll be over as soon as I can, okay?"

"Yes, love you mom."

"Love you to, Edward." I hung up, returning Emmett's phone to him. We were all sitting around in silence for a few minutes.

Both officers walked down the hallway towards us, "Edward Cullen, can we speak to you please."

"Sure. Sure." I followed them to a row of empty chairs as if it was providing us some sort of false privacy.

They asked me the usual questions, writing down everything I said word for word. I told them as much as I could; I told them that I knew it was Eric that did it. They told me they couldn't make any arrests at the moment but they would look into what I said. The officers both left telling me they would return later to get a statement from Angela if she was up to speaking with them.

I watched as the police car drove out of the car park before turning to Emmett. "I'm going to get some air."

Alice was the one to reply, "What do you mean Edward? You can't go around in the state you're in; you're going to look for Eric, aren't you?"

How in the fuck does she know?

"God, Alice, I'm not."

"Well Jasper is going with you, just to keep an eye on you." She looked over at Jasper, her eyes pleading with his.

"Of course Ali." He said, leaving her with a chaste kiss on the lips.

"Call me if Angela wakes up." I told them all sternly.

Once we were in the car and out of the car park to Jasper, "I'm going to find him, Jasper. You can't stop me; I have to do this, to give me a piece of mind." I was way over the speed limit but I really could not give a flying fuck at that moment.

"Edward, I will let you do what you want. I know, remember Royce? Why do you think he left when he did? I told him I would kill him if I ever saw his face in this neighbourhood again. He thought he could hurt my twin sister like that and get away with it. I don't think so, I made that bastard pay."

Royce-Fucking-King, the dirtiest piece of scum on the planet.

Jasper was always the calm and collected one, he was very rarely in a fight but when he was, he could fight like the best of them. He was very good at handling himself, I felt almost bad for the person that had pissed him off so bad.

We drove around the blocks for a while until we stopped outside of his house; a few of the lights were on inside indicating someone had to be in. I parked outside of his driveway, Jasper followed me to the door, and I knocked softly on it waiting.

The door opened and he stood there in jeans and a t-shirt, I looked down to see his knuckles were busted up. My anger flared inside of me, I bit the inside of my cheek to stop myself from lashing out at him.

He had probably fucking punched her, that's why they were so messed up.

"What the fuck Cullen? First you're fucking my girlfriend and now you come to rub it in my face. She is a nasty bitch anyway. Fucking hoe."

I punched him square in the jaw; he fell to the ground not expecting my attack.

"Take that back you fucker; you have no idea what she is like!" I growled, I lifted him up by his t-shirt punching him again and again in his face. Blood trickled down his nose and lip but I didn't care. My hand was fucked up from hitting the wall but I didn't care. My hand was starting to cramp but I still kept hitting him.

After, I dropped him on the floor in disgust, I kicked him hard in his gut making him cry out, and I grinned in satisfaction. "How do you like it now?" I kicked him a few times, punctuating every word with a blow to his chest. "Not so fucking tough are you now, don't you ever lay a finger on my girl again!"

For good measures I kicked right in the balls and he groaned out in pain.

I felt arms restraint me; I was so lost in my rage that I nearly lashed out at whoever was pulling me away from him.

"Edward." I heard Jaspers voice over the blood pounding in my ears, "Stop, you're killing him. Stop it." Jasper dragged me down the driveway as Eric lay there on the doorstep breathing heavily.

"You better hope Angela is okay."

Wow, I hope you liked it! I was typing this out in college and falling asleep at the same time. Also I was just wondering would you guys read a Jasper/Angela or another Edward/ Angela story if I wrote one? I have idea's for both :D

Please leave me your thoughts.

Stay tuned...
