Chapter 27

BPOV

We had arrived at Jasper and Edward's restaurant not sure what we are doing here. He helped me out of the car and we went through the back doors.

"Edward what is going on? Why are we going in the back door?"

"Bella would you stop asking questions and just go with it please."

We walked into a room at the back of the place. I still could not figure out what was going on. We walked into the room and everybody yelled, "SURPRISE!"

This had to be Alice's doing because she is always the master mind for parties. Edward did not know that it was my birthday until a few days ago. Alice was the one to put this together. I walked over to her.

"Alice why in the hell would you do this? You know that I do not like being center of attention. Why would you do this?"

"Bella stop bitching it's what I do. If I did not do this you would think something was the matter with me."

"No Alice I would not I would think that you actually cared about how I felt about this. I would think after being friends for so long that you would understand me," I yelled.

I turned and walked off. I could not believe that she would do this. Even Edward had to have a little something to do with this. He was the one that brought me here. I really could not be that upset with him because he really did not know that I did not like being the center of attention. I should just be happy that they cared for me and not wanting my birthday to go unnoticed.

As I walked towards the restrooms I started to get a really eerie feeling. I rushed to the restrooms. I just needed to get away and get myself together. I splashed some water on my face and just took a couple of deep breaths before walking out. As soon as I walked through the door I was pushed back into the bathroom. I looked into the eyes of James himself.

"Bitch I told you that you would pay for what you did to me."

I felt his hand go across my face and he pulled my dress up over my hips and ripped my thong off of me. I screamed out and he hit me again.

"If I was you I would not say a word or it will make it twice as bad for you."

I looked into his eyes and could tell that he would do whatever he needed to do to me if I did not stay quiet. He was still pulling at my dress trying to get if off me but changed his mind when he could not. I heard him unzip his pants. I knew that I needed to do something or he would actually force himself into me.

"I hope that you are ready for me because I'm going to fuck you and then Edward will not want anything to do with you. You will be a whore then. Hell you might even enjoy it."

I tried to push him away but he was to strong for me. He pushed my legs apart some more. I wiggled around trying to get away from him.

"Bitch stop moving around and just let me do this. I can tell you that you will like it," he said to me before he punched me in the stomach.

I waited until he was not really paying attention and he was getting ready to push into me when I brought me knee up to him and kneeing him in the nuts really hard and ran from the bathroom. I did not look back. I had to get to Edward before he could get up and run after me.

I ran back into the room and I noticed Edward talking to Alice and Jasper when he noticed me, he had a smile on his face until he saw me crying. He ran over to me and pulled me into his arms.

"Love what the hell happened to you. Why is your dress torn?"

"I I...um in the b bbathroom and wa...lked out and Ja...mes was waiting for me."

"Love you have to calm down so that I can understand you. Take a few deep breaths for me."

I did as he said and even took a long smell of his chest hoping that his scent would calm me some too. I pulled away a little and tried to finish telling him what happened.

"Edward, James pushed me into the restroom and started to hit me in the face and tore my dress along with ripping my panties off me. He tried to rape me. He told me that I was getting what was coming to me. I kneed him in the balls and took off running before he could come after me."

"Jasper call the police. I'm going to see if James is still here. Alice take Bella to my office lock the door. Do not open it for anyone. Jasper and I have a key so we can let ourselves in. Please try and calm her down some more. Do not let her out of your sight. Not until I know where James is."

I watched as they all nodded their heads. Edward took off his jacket and placed it around me. He gave me a kiss before he walked away. Alice took me to his office and locked the door like he had asked. Now all we could do is wait.

EPOV

When I thought about how I acted towards Bella and then said something about her ring I kinda let my insecurities get to me. Once we sat down and talked I knew that we would be ok. She just did not want me pulling away from her and not talking to her. Once we got to the party I was shocked that Bella went off on Alice like that. Then when she walked away. I knew that she needed time to regroup so I let her go.

I was standing there talking to Alice and Jasper when I noticed Bella running into the room. I smiled at her until I noticed that she was crying and her dress was torn. I pulled her into my arms and just listened to what had happened. I knew that I had to see if I could find James. He has taken this too far. I was seeing red and knew Jasper would help me in anyway he could because he thought of Bella as his sister.

Once I told everybody what to do I kissed Bella and took off running to the ladies restroom. Jasper was hot on my heels.

"Edward if he is still in there you cannot lose your temper man. He could have your ass."

"No Jasper I'm going to really put a hurting on him. He just tried to rape Bella. He deserves a good fucking ass kicking. Did you see her face and then she said he punched her in the stomach."

"Alright man. I understand because if it was your sister I would being doing the same thing."

When we got to the bathroom, I rushed in followed by Jasper. Still laying where Bella left him was James. I couldn't believe that he was still there. Was he stupid or what?

I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pulled him up. "What the fuck? Didn't we fucking tell you not to come around Bella again? And here you are," I said as I slammed him up against the wall.

"Edward, Bella is like all women, a little whore. She wanted me to give it to her."

As he said those words, I punched him in the jaw so hard, I could swear I heard his jaw crack. "James, Bella would never want someone like you," I said as I punched him again as I let him go.

"Bella is just so fucking hot, I had to have her. I figured once I fucked her, she'd forget about your pathetic ass. She is so much hotter than Irina."

I pulled him back up. "What the fuck did you just say?"

"I said, Bella is so much hotter than Irina."

"How the fuck do you know Irina?"

"I married the bitch, she told me she was pregnant with some rich bastard's baby and that one day she'd come into a lot of money. But..."

"But .. what?" I asked.

"Nothing, the kid is a major brat. So whiny, I just wish that she would have aborted him. But no she claimed that one day he'd pay off. So she kept him."

I could feel the anger rising up in me as he talked about Anthony, even if he wasn't my son, someone should look out for him. I slammed my fist into the side of his face and was going to hit him again when the police came through the door.

As the police walked in James took a swing at me and caught me in my jaw. I went to hit him again but Jasper pulled me back. The police took mine and Jasper's statement and then wanted to talk to Bella.

We walked to my office and I unlocked the door. I could tell that Bella was still upset but at least she got her crying under control. I sat down in my office chair and opened my arms to Bella. When she sat down I could feel her shaking.

"Love I have you, nothing is going to happen. The police have him in cuffs and are taking him to jail. They would like to get your statement of what happened."

She just nodded her head. The officer started asking questions. Finally they were done asking her stuff and they took pictures of her torn dress as well as her face and her stomach.

When she pulled up her dress I sucked in a huge breath. My love had a huge purple and black bruise there. I know that had to hurt.

"Well and I think that's it for now. If we need anything else I will call you."

"Ok thank you."

They walked out of the room and closed the door.

"Love how are you feeling? Do you want me to get some ice or anything?"

"No Edward I just want you to hold me and never let go."

"I couldn't even if I tried."

"Well I think we need to do something to get our minds off the shit that happened tonight," my sister said.

"Alice please don't, Bella has had enough stuff go on tonight."

She thrust a gift in Bella's hand and eventually she had opened all her gifts. Well she thought so anyway. I had the heart with key necklace still to give her. I pulled the gift from my desk drawer and placed it in her lap.

"Edward what is this? You already gave me a gift this morning. I do not need anything else."

"Love please just open it. I want to spoil you, so just let me please."

She just smiled at me and opened it. I watched as her face she opened the box. I could see the tears starting to fall down her cheeks.

"Edward this is beautiful. I love you."

"Bella the heart on the necklace represents my heart and this is the key to my heart. You own the key, only you showed me what real love is, baby. I love you too so very much."

"Oh Edward would you please put it on me?"

"Of course."

Once I placed it around her neck I pulled her in for a kiss. Alice watched us carefully. Like Bella was going to break down again or something. I just held her to me.

"Bella are you sure you are ok that you do not need to go to the hospital?"

"Yes Alice I'm fine. I will have several bruises including some on my face but I'm fine. The police have James in jail so I don't have anything to worry about."

Finally everybody was ready to go home. The night had really been a long night. I was ready to get my girl home and in bed. We pulled up to the house and I went to help Bella out of the car. She did not say anything on the way home. I guess she was still in shock about all the shit that happened tonight. I drew her a bath because I'm sure she will want to get the smell of James off her.

"Love why don't you come with me. I have filled the bath for you."

"Ok thank you. Are you planning on joining me?"

"If you would like me to I will."

She just pulled me behind her to the bathroom. I stripped the rest of her clothes off and she did the same for me. We climbed in and I pulled her to my chest. I massaged her shoulder and I felt her relax under my touch. I washed her whole body and kissed her along the way. We did not need to speak we just enjoyed the time together.

"Love are you ready to get out?"

"Yeah I'm so relaxed now. That is what I needed. Thank you again for taking care of me."

"Bella there is no need to thank me. I love that I can take care of you. You are my life now. I love you."

We slowly got up and I dried her off and then myself. We climbed into bed and snuggled up to each other. I looked into her eyes and I could see all the love there. I ran my hands down her body in hopes that I did not scare her after what she went through tonight. She did not push me away so I went forward. I reached her center and just stayed there for a minute. Bella looked at me and nodded. That's all I needed.

"Edward you did not need to be scared to touch me. I'm really fine."

"Alright love I just do not want to do anything that you do not want done especially after what happened tonight."

"Edward just shut up and make love to me please."

I pushed my fingers into her and she was so wet for me already. Fingering her for few minutes before I could not take it any long because she was making all kinds of sexy noises. I laid in between her legs lining up my cock at her entrance. I told her that I loved her as I pushed inside her.

"Oh Edward make me yours again. I need to know that I'm yours."

"Love you will always be mine no matter what."

I picked up my pace and she wrapped her legs around me. I grabbed the head board so that I would have better leverage. Bella met each of my thrusts with her own.

"Ugh Edward so good. Right there McScruff shit."

"Fuck Bella, your so tight around me."

"Mmm," was all her answer was. Using the head board to pick up my speed Bella removed her legs from around me spread them wider for me. That gave me the chance to pick up my speed some more.

"Bella I'm not going to last long you feel so good. I just want to cum in you now."

"Edward just let it go. I promise I'm right there. Show me how good it feels McScruff."

With those words I went faster. I could tell by the way she was moving and the noises that she is making that she was about to let go. I was there to.

"Fuck Edward I...ugh son of a bittccchhhh cum Mc..Scr...uufff."

"Belllaaa shit I'm cum...ming. Ugh."

I leaned down kissing her lips and trying to catch my breath. I pulled out of her rolling to lay beside her. She rolled to face me.

"Edward I love you. I needed to be reconnected to you again after what James tried to do to me. Thank you."

"Bella there is no need to thank me. I needed that reconnection as well. I love you so much."

I kissed her one last time.

"Goodnight my love."

"Night Edward."

She rolled over and I pulled her back to my chest. Finally dozing into a peaceful sleep.
