A/N: I don't own Twilight. Thank you so much for all the suggestions, encouragement, and help. I really appreciate it. Keep it up and enjoy!
Bella POV
I finished talking with Esme and went back to my room. She gave me other clothes to change into and told me not to worry.
I got dressed and was walking out when Alice came up to me and pulled me back into my room.
"Why?" she asked me and was very upset.
"I had to, Alice. I didn't want all of you to get hurt over something that its worth it. I want you to be ok and happy." I told her. I couldn't cry because I didn't have any tears left. Edward had began to move on and I wanted him to be happy. I knew that Alice and Esme wouldn't understand at first, but I knew I understood what I had done.
"Alice, please, I did it for a good reason and I want you to just understand that." I told her. She just looked at me with frustration, loss, and sadness. She finally nodded and hugged me.
"What did he do?" Alice asked me.
"He raped me." I told Alice and she saw the bruises. She hugged me and reassured me I would be ok.
"Will you help me today?" she asked me. I nodded and went with her to her room. Esme was leaving when we were walking in the room and pulled me to the side.
"Bella, I understand why you did it, but I promise I am hot happy with why you had to do it." She told me. She hugged me and left. I walked in and shut the door. I turned to see Jasper, Emmett, Rose, and Alice all looking at me. I didn't know what to expect, but was surprised when Rose hugged me. I hugged her back and walked into the room.
"Bella, why couldn't you wait?" Emmett asked me. I was tired of hearing it and them asking me why I had done it.
"Because, I didn't want any of you to get killed. Carlisle and James told me what exactly would happen if I didn't give him up. I am not one of you and I cannot stand by and let someone get hurt for my happiness. I would have rather died than to see anyone die for me. I never thought about death when I was a princess, but if I was going to die for someone it seemed better. I would rather die for one of you than to have all of you hurt, die, or something worse for me. My happiness is not worth any of your lives." I screamed at them.
James came in and looked at us. I felt nothing but rage at him.
"What is going on here?" he asked us.
Emmett POV
Bella had just told us exactly how she felt and it made sense what she was saying. I hated that she had given it up, but Bella was not a selfish person I had ever known. She was not going to let anyone get hurt for her. We all just looked at her as James came in and Bella was enraged at him. I could see the anger in her eyes. He was seeing why she was yelling. Jasper went to say something to him when Bella tackled him.
Alice and Rose gasped, Jasper and I just stood there, and Bella pummeled James. She really hated him and I knew she needed to get it out. I finally walked over and pulled her off him .She was screaming and crying because she was upset.
I looked at Jasper who nodded and I pulled Bella out of the room. I pulled Bella into her room and held her. She was sobbing, shaking, and hysterical. I knew she had never dealt with the first time she had given Edward up and now it was all hitting her.
I held her until Rose and Alice came into her room.
"Emmett, help Jasper, we are taking her to our room." Rose told me. I smiled.
They helped Bella up and took her to our room. I went back into the room and saw Jasper kicking James. Bella had really hurt James and Jasper taking out aggressions on him. I pulled Jasper off and James was out. I looked at Jasper and we same him take a breath and knew he wasn't dead.
"What the hell happened?" Father asked as he and Mother came into the room.
"He attached Alice and Rose." Jasper told him.
"What?" Esme asked us and looked at us.
"He attacked Rose and Alice tried to help. He pushed her off and Bella got us. They are in our room." I told them. Mother hugged me and Carlisle just looked at James.
"Get him out of here!" he yelled at the guards. They picked him up and were carrying him out of the room when Edward came in.
"What happened?" he asked.
"He attached Rose and Alice." I told Edward. I knew that if he was to say anything it would hurt everything.
"Let me fighting the arena with the tigers." He suggested.
"Go idea, Edward." He told him.
"I am going to check on the girls." Esme said and left. Carlisle nodded as she left.
"I will be at the senate. Jasper, I expect you." He told him. Jasper nodded and followed him.
"What really happened?" he asked me. I just looked at him. I didn't want to answer him or even look at him. Alice told us what happened and I didn't hold a lot of respect for him. He gave Bella up and hurt her. I walked out.
Edward POV
I was missing something and I knew it was bad. I went to see what had happened in Jasper's area and I found James being dragged away. I knew that everyone was upset because I didn't want Bella, but I didn't get why it was so bad. She was just a slave and mother had sent Tanya away.
I went for a walk around to palace to see if I could hear anything. I really wanted to know what the problem was and why I was hated all of a sudden.
Rose POV
I got Bella into my room and Alice went to make sure that the story held up. She was so upset and I understood.
"It's ok." I told her and hugged her. She was just shaking from the adrenaline. I rubbed her back to calm her down.
"Thanks, Rose." She told me and hugged me.
"It's ok, I would have done the same thing." I told her and she nodded.
We were talking and I found a lot out from Bella. She just told me everything and I got the idea that Emmett thought I had cheated on him, but what he didn't know was that I had only cheated once. I knew it was a mistake and I hated myself for it. He was not who I wanted to marry, but I had grown to love him.
"Bella, can I ask you for your help since you know Emmett?" I asked her. She nodded and looked at me.
"I want your help to convince Emmett that I did not cheat on him. You know him Bella, help me; I love him." I told her. She just looked at me and hugged him.
Bella POV
Rose had helped me calm down and regain normal thinking. She was very nice because we talked for a while when Alice, Jasper, and Emmett cleaned up my mess.
"Rose, you are the only person who can convince him." I told her. I didn't know when she had cheated or anything like that. I wanted to help, but didn't know how.
"Bella, please, anything. I really love him and I can't wait to have his son. The one time I cheated I was stupid. I love him." She told me and started to cry.
I looked over and saw Emmett in the doorway. I gave him a small smile and he turned to leave. I knew he had heard everything and I hoped it convinced him of her love. I wanted all of them to be happy and I knew that Rose really did make Emmett happy.
"Rose? Bella?" Esme called for us and came in with everyone following her.
"What happened?" Esme asked us.
"I did it." I said in a small voice. Esme sat next to me in shock.
"You did?" she asked me. I nodded and didn't want to look at her for the disappointment. I finally looked up at her and she was smiling. She pulled me into a hug.
"He deserved it." She told me and I smiled.
"Edward has no idea what he has done." Emmett said. I looked at them and realized they were all upset at him.
"Now what?" I asked them.
"We will free you, dear. Once you are free you will be able to chose for yourself." Esme told me.
"I still know that you will be with Edward." Alice said and I just looked at her.
"He hates me." I mumbled.
"He doesn't know who he hates." Emmett said.
"Come on, we have to be places or something will look a miss." Esme said.
I hugged Rose before I left. I was leaving when Emmett stopped me.
"Do you believe her?" he asked me. I looked at him and knew he wanted to believe it was his child.
"Yes, Emmett, I do. I can tell she loves you." I told him. He smiled.
"Go." I told him and dunged him towards the door. He hugged me and smiled.
Rose POV
I watched as they all left. I wasn't going out much because Emmett was ashamed of me. I just looked out the window as I heard the door shut. I looked back to see Emmett. He walked over to me and I was afraid of what was coming.
"Rose, I want to talk to you." He told me. I nodded and started to tremble. I didn't want to be banished.
"I heard you and Bella talking. I love you, Rose. I believe you when you said only once and it was a mistake. I am sorry for not believing you sooner." He told me. I smiled and kissed him.
"You can make it up to me…" I told him. He smiled.
"How?" he asked.
"Be giving me some time and seeing that Bella and Edward are happy together." She told me.
"I can do that." I assured her and kissed her. I was happy that Bella had helped me out and now I was going to make sure that she was happy too.
A/N: I hope you liked what happened with Rose. Let me know anymore suggestions or ideas.
