A/N: So i wanted to get the next chapter up asap because of one or two reviews i got, but i was still kinda sad at the lack of reviews, but i'll still give you the chapter, i'd love for you to review on this chapter and the previous chapter, that would make my day :)

P.S. Lately I'm obsessed with quotes so I'm going to post one with every chapter, sometimes they have to do with the chapter, other times they are referring to my life. This quote refers to both. Sorry for such the long authors notes, i'll let you read the chapter now :)

"Here's to the silence, that cuts me at the core."

-Taylor Swift

"The court will take a short recess and then the verdict will be given." The judge slammed the gavel down and left the room.

The wait was going to be a long one, no matter what amount of time had actually passed.

I took deep breaths and held tightly to Edward's hand. After a long wait the judge finally returned.

The judge looked to the jury and asked for their decision. I sat nervously.

"Bella, relax." Edward whispered in my ear.

"Sorry." I breathed back. I rest my head on his should and closed my eyes, listening but not feeling the need to see.

"We find the defendant..." There was a pause. Why did they have to pause? Just say it, say it. "Guilty, of all charges."

Relief washed through me. I opened my eyes to look around, Alice was perked up in her seat. She had grabbed onto Jaspers wrist and was shaking it, she was happy. I smiled at Jasper who was nodded and telling Alice he had heard the decision.

I found my mother crying softly, a small smile on her face, she quickly wiped away the tears and straightened out her back, returning to her position to her the sentence.

I looked over to Edward who was breathing deeply, his smiled noticeable.

"I'm proud of you Bella." He told me, looking me straight in the eyes.

"I love you." I whispered back. The next thing i knew my lips were on his, my hand still clutching his. It was a short kiss, not long enough to draw to much attention. I returned to my position next to Edward and saw Alice smirking at me from across the way. I smiled back.

The judge asked Charlie if he would like to explain his actions. Charlie said no, he had nothing to say. Mom was biting her lip and rubbing her hands nervously.

"The court is removing Isabella from the defendants custody, giving full custody to Isabella's mother. Also, the defendant will be given 1 year jail, and 3 years probation, it has been taken into consideration that this is the defendants first charge and that he is the chief of police."

The judge slammed the gavel and the bailiff called for all to stand, while the judge left the room, Edward pulled my into a standing position, i couldn't make my legs move.

"Thats not fair." I whispered when the judge left the room.

Edward pulled me into his strong arms and i rested my head against his sturdy chest.

"It's okay love," Edward cooed softly, "He won't hurt you again. Don't worry."

"It's not fair." My chest heaved in and out, my breathing was speeding and dry sobs were escaping me.

"I know."

"He took so much from me."

"I know."

"And all he gets is one year?"

"I'm sorry."

I buried my face into his shirt, not moving.

I felt Edward rocking my gently back and forth, knowing it would look unnatural if we stood there unmoving.

Shortly after i removed my head from his chest and grabbed my crutches, turning to leave.

"Bella." I heard a soft voice call from behind me.

"What?" I snapped turning to face the person, my eyes on the ground.

The person flinched, but took a step towards me, "I'm sorry." They told me, i could tell they were sincere. I paused, trying to connect the voice to a face, i knew that raspy voice.

"Jacob?" I asked, finally looking up.

He smiled and pulled my stiff body into his, hugging me gently.

"You're cold." He stated.

I didn't respond.

"You're hard as rock." He made another statement. "What did they do to you?" He asked in shock.

"Nothing, Jake, it's none of your business."

He pulled me back to look at me.

"Shit." He muttered under his breath. "they changed you. Bella, what were you thinking!?" He was angry now, his face slowly turning red.

"I wasn't thinking." I stated coldly.

"Obviously not." He muttered.

"I was dead." I told him, just as coldly as before.

Edward stepped between us distancing me from Jacob.

Jacob looked at me blinking a few time. He was torn, he wasn't sure what emotion he should have had, he was broken inside.

"What," He paused. "How?" Another pause.

He thought about it for a minute. "The treaty." He finally whispered.

"I know, i broke the treaty." Edward said speaking finally. "But would you rather her dead?"

"No, no of course not." Anger played on Jake's face. "Don't suggest that. It's not me I'm worried about, its the rest of the pack."

"I don't want to fight you." I whispered quietly, not sure if heard me.

"I won't fight you Bella."

I closed my eyes taking deep breaths, i completely forgot about the treaty. I tried to straighten out my thoughts. There were three things i knew.

The pack would want to attack us.

Edward failed to remind me about the treaty

And Jacob would never treat me the same.

"You knew this was coming Jake." I told him.

HIs eyes scrunched, trying to communicate in words.

"He still believed you would leave me for him." Edward supplied.

"Shut up." Jacob hissed.

"Jake..." I started, my words failing me.

"Never mind. I have to go, I guess i'll see you sooner rather than later Bells."

"Jacob, please, don't tell them."

"Even if i didn't want to, i wouldn't have that option."

"Jake, i want to fix this, i just, i don't know how."

"YOu can't Bells, it's done. I'm going to miss you Bells, but we can't be friends anymore, you're going to have to understand."

"Jacob, please."

"Your ride's waiting." He stated, his voice was distant now.

"Jake.." His name slipped off my tongue.

"He's not going to change his mind Bella." Edward whispered so only i could hear.

"I'm sorry." I whispered to Jake, that was the last thing i would say to him, i broke his heart, but he broke mine too.

I took my crutches under my arms and limped out of the big room. We left Jacob stand in the middle of the room, i felt him watching us leave.

Edward rubbed my back and we slipped into the Volvo. Alice was waiting in the front seat.

"I was thinking I could drive?" Alice said.

Edward nodded putting my crutches in the front seat next to Alice and then pulling both of us into the backseat.

He pulled me close, carefully taking off the fake cast and then pulling me into his arms.

ALice must have been driving slow, because the drive back home lasted forever. None of us were moving, none of us talking, just silence.

When we pulled into the driveway Edward slipped my cast back on and carried me into the house. He brought me into the fake hospital room and sat on the bed. His arms still wrapped around me.

"Can we go to your room?" I asked.

"Whatever you want love." He whispered in my ear.

I closed my eyes, wishing sleep could find me, wishing i could escape all of this for a few hours, knowing i couldn't.

I pulled myself closer to Edward and brought my knees up to my chest, positioning them between Edward and I so they wouldn't fall out of place.

I don't know how long we were lying there. The door opened a few times, but i took no notice to who it was. I simply didn't care, i lost Jacob, i felt like i lost the trial, and i was going to lose Edward. Nothing mattered to me anymore, and there was nothing that could change that.

Edward's POV

I held Bella in my arms for a long time. Alice came to check on her, but she didn't notice, she didn't respond to Alice's words, I apologized to Alice, she was hurt, but she understood. She soon left the room.

"Bella?" A voice called from behind the door, followed by a small knock.

"Someone's talking to you Bella." I told her. She looked at me, her eyes empty. I sighed and then told the person to come in.

The person walked in and took a seat on the bed. I brushed Bella's hair out of her face and then looked up to face the person visiting us.

"How is she?" They asked

"Not good." I said softly, i found myself looking into the face of Rosalie.

She noticed the confused look on my face and then explained herself.

"I don't like to see her look like that. I said i didn't care, but i think i was jealous, i do have a heart Edward." She added, smiling slightly. "She's empty inside, it can't just be from the sentencing? Can it?" She asked.

Bella whimpered.

"It's not just the trial, Jacob was there, he knows she was changed, they fought she's upset."

"But she still has you, she shouldn't be that lost."

"She doesn't have me for long." I said softly.

Rosalie couldn't comprehend my words, she stared at me for a minute waiting for an explanation.

"Her mother's taking her back home, I can tell Bella is reluctant to get emancipated, i don't think she really wants to ruin her relationship with her mother, as her relationship with her father is gone."

Rose nodded.

"Can she call you Rose?"

Rose smiled softly, "Yes, tell her i'm sorry i was rude before," Rosalie paused before speaking again. "Tell her i miss her bothering me." Rose smiled before leaving the room.

"Okay." I whispered, even thought i knew Rosalie was gone ad i knew she couldn't hear me.

"Bella." I said softly.

She blinked and looked up at me.

"Rosalie misses you bother her."

Bella blinked again.

"She wants you to call her Rose."

The corner of Bella's mouth twitched. It relived me to know she was listening, and she was understanding.

"I love you." I whispered, bring her body close to mine. Her head rest on my dead heart, her eyes still empty.

"I need you." I whispered in her ear.

I noticed the small motion of her mouth, she was biting her lip. Her breathing began to climb, she was coming back.

"I need you too." She told me, the words being forced out of her mouth.

I smiled kissing her lovingly.

"I can't lose you."

"We'll get through this Bella, it's just another bump in the road."

I felt her nod on my chest and I kissed the top of her head.

We were still for a moment, bother of us breathing deeply.

Then, there was a small, quiet knock on the door.

"Can i come in?" the quiet voice asked

"Yes."

The door opened a crack, and Renee's head poked in.

"Can i help you?" My voice was colder then i intended it to be.

Renee looked at the floor and then back up into my eyes.

"Can I talk to you?"

I had to think about it. I was concerned for Bella, as she was in a rough spot right now.

"That depends." I answered cautiously.

Renee nodded, understanding.

"I won't upset her." She said softly, taking Bella's ice cold hand in hers.

I nodded. "Alright, we're listening."
