"I'm free." I whispered into Edward's chest, awestruck by the intensity of the moment.

He nodded and pressed a kiss against my head, hugging me tighter.

"Everything will be okay now. Let's go home, shall we?" he smiled, pulling back. We walked hand in hand out of the courtroom, ignoring the clattering around us. I caught sight of my mom by the water fountain and ran over to her.

"Oh Bella, baby, I'm so happy for you." she sniffled, squeezing me in a hug, "You're going to absolutely love it in Jacksonville. Everything will be perfect now!"

Through my happy tears, my eyes widened in horror and my mouth went dry.

"Mom, I-I want to stay in Forks." I gasped, dreading the thought of leaving Edward. He wrapped an arm around me and kissed my head.

"It's okay, love. We'll still be here for you." he murmured deliberately. I stifled a giggle. He was playing the guilt card with my mother.

Mom bit her lip, "You're welcome at our house any time, Edward, and your family as well. I know this move will be hard for you, we'll talk out the details later. If there was any way for you to stay-"

"Oh but there is!" Esme chirped, appearing from no where, "Renee, we'd love to have Bella at our house.

My mom considered it for a moment, "If it's no trouble-"

"None at all!" Alice squealed, literally vibrating from happiness, "I can dress you up everyday, Bella! It'll be so much fun!"

Everyone laughed and Mom finally nodded, "Okay, that's fine I suppose. Just make sure you come and visit a lot, Bella." she said sternly, hugging me again, "Esme, I'll call you sometime next week to sort out the details?"

"Of course Renee." Esme beamed.

We chatted for a few more minutes before the family dispersed. Alice, Jasper, Rose and Emmett went home. Carlisle and Esme went to drop off Phil and Renee at the airport. Edward and I started towards his car to head home when there was a tap on my shoulder.

Three police officers stood next to Charlie, who was in handcuffs wearing an evil grin on his face.

"As the former Chief of Police, I believe I have the authority to talk to my daughter one last time." he smirked, shrugging out of the policemen's grasps.

I stood silently, trying to look strong. Edward's arm slid around my waist protectively, and a low growl started in his chest.

"Give us a moment, gentlemen." Charlie grunted. The policemen turned their backs and talked quietly with each other.

"So how good is she, Edward?" he leered. "Does she fuck you and suck you off well? I trained her good, didn't I?"

"She doesn't do anything like that." Edward hissed, "And we're done talking to you."Charlie shrugged, "I'm surprised she doesn't. My clients said she was great. I can't believe you haven't tried her out yet." he said.

Edward's face was murderous, it even scared me. "They borrowed her?" he spat out.

Charlie's face twisted into another sadistic grin, "Yeah. Twenty bucks an hour to do whatever they wanted with my little slut. Didn't she tell you that?" he snickered.

My whole body stiffened and my face flamed with embarrassment. Now Edward would know for sure that I was broken, damaged beyond repair. I should have taken up Mom on her offer.

"Leave. Now." Edward snapped, glaring at Charlie. The officers stopped talking and started to escort him away.

"She's your whore now. Have fun." Charlie slipped in as they walked away.

"Bella? Ready to go home?" Edward asked gently after a moment. I wiped the lone tear away angrily and nodded. We walked towards his Volvo and he drove home.

"The girls all wanted to throw a party to celebrate. I told them to hold off. You don't look like you're up for that yet." he stated.

"Thank you." I whispered gratefully.

"But," he continued, "they did buy you a whole new wardrobe. I tried to talk Alice out of that one, but even Esme thought it was a good idea."

"I'll have to thank them when we get home, then." I said dully.

After another few minutes of silence, he spoke again. "Bella, you do plan on going to college, right?" he asked.

"I never really thought about it, but I suppose now I can." I admitted.

He smiled, "You'll love college." he assured.

"Where have you gone before?"

"A lot of places. I have three medical degrees, actually."

"Really? That's amazing, Edward." I gushed, my sad mood forgotten. I continued interrogating him about his education until we arrived home. Inside, I thanked the girls over and over for the clothes and let them fawn over me for a while. Finally, Esme came and pulled them away, telling Edward to get me something to eat. He made me a sandwich, even though I was perfectly capable of making one myself. I didn't complain too much though, it tasted delicious.

"You're really quiet. Is something on your mind?" I noted, seeing him stare off into space.

"Yeah, I was just thinking." he sighed.

"About what?" I prompted.

"What was your dream about?" he asked abruptly.

I choked a little on my sandwich and took a drink of water before replying.

"That was unexpected."

"You said I could ask. I never forget, Bella. Will you tell me?"

I couldn't deny him anything. Not when he was looking at me with his molten gold eyes.

"Something about it us getting married." I confessed, blushing. I got up and put my plate in the sink to avoid looking at him. But when I turned around, his face was excited.

"You really want that?" he beamed.

I nodded, "I do."

"So if I asked you right now, you'd say yes?" he confirmed.

"Are you proposing?" I smirked.

He shook his head, "No way. The actual one will be so much better, I promise." he grinned.

"It'd better be, or I will kill you Edward Cullen!" Alice shouted from somewhere inside the house. I laughed and he groaned.

We walked up to his room and I lay down on the bed while he popped in a movie. As usual, I curled up next to him and rested my head on his chest while he played with my hair.

We watched in mostly silence, occasionally commenting or pecking each other's lips. After a particularly sweet kiss, Edward caressed my face softly, staring into my eyes.

"I know its horribly selfish of me to say this, but I'm very glad you didn't go with your mother. I love you, Isabella Swan." he said reverently.

I smiled, "So am I. And I love you too."

Please Review. I hope you all liked the chapter. I know this chapter was short, but the next one will be up soon.
