After Alice's announcement that we were having a slumber party the rest of the day had passed uneventfully. All of us girls went to the bar, even Jenny to watch the guys play. Surprisingly nothing happened to us there, it was a shock and a pleasant surprise. I almost wondered if the place was bad luck, except that that's where I first kissed Edward among other things.

We were all so tired after being up so long that we crashed at the boy's house, each of us sharing a bed with our boyfriends'. Jenny slept on the couch again. I still hadn't seen Eric or Tyler. The next morning I asked Edward about it and he said he didn't know, so I asked Emmett when we were eating breakfast. "So where exactly are Eric and Tyler?"

Emmett grinned at me and said "I kicked them out for the week. They are staying with another friend, maybe they'll end up moving there and it will be their own idea. I'd be happy to be rid of them."

"Why did you kick them out of their own house?" I asked him and his eyes flicked over to Jenny. Oh. I nodded my head.

The rest of the morning went by quickly, until I found myself seated next to Jasper in our sociology class. The blonde guy that had been in front of us a couple of days ago was again staring daggers at us. Jasper finally spoke up and said "What the fuck, man? What do you want?"

Leaning towards and giving us a menacing look he said "Victoria is my friend and she's still in the hospital thanks to your sister."

"She deserved what she got, dude. Victoria needed to get her ass kicked and as far as I'm concerned that wasn't enough." Jasper hissed back.

"You know she'll try to file charges against your sister, right?" He asked us grinning as though it would be the happiest day of his life.

"If she does I'll just pull out the video I have of the fight." Jasper said and then looked slyly over at me before continuing and said "She confessed to what she did to that girl Jenny, you know. That's why my sister beat her." We both watched as his face visibly paled.

He looked back and forth between us muttering "They don't know anything, they can't know."

Nodding our heads we said "We know."

Then Jasper said "We know you had a hand in it and another friend besides Victoria. We know a couple of other people were somewhat involved as well." Did we know all that? Jasper was the psychology guy, maybe he'd figured it out.

The guy in front of us looked furious and spat "You know nothing."

Looking sorrowful Jasper said "Ahh, but we do. We do know, everything." The guy scoffed at us and turned around in his seat.

Whispering to him I asked "What do we know?"

Shrugging at me he said "Well what I said is most likely the truth, but as far as the details I don't know. I have a feeling that Jenny will crack soon."

"How do you know that?" I asked him. So far she hadn't told us anything, we just figured things out and Victoria, the idiot she was let some of it slip.

"Because she's ready, she wants to tell someone I think. She needed someone to trust before letting it all out though. I think she'll probably tell you first, or all the girls at the same time. It'll be soon, so expect it." Jasper informed me and I sucked in my breath. I wanted to know, but I didn't at the same time, you know?

I went to my self-defense class later that afternoon and took some people down, broken arm and all. It was a good feeling, to not be helpless. I wondered if Jenny could use it, if it would help her.

Edward and I spent Thursday night studying and I read over his notes before we took the time to spend touching every part of each others' bodies with our hands or lips. I could see Edward scowl every time he looked at my cast though.

Friday rolled around, the day Alice wanted us to have a slumber party. This day seemed longer than the others with the lab during the afternoon. Parting from Edward I said "I love you. Have fun with the guys tonight."

Kissing me he smiled and said "I love you too. I'll miss you, but I'll try to have fun. You girls please don't have too much fun." He ended teasing me. I wanted to slap him, but didn't with my arm still broken. My arm and hand still hurt like hell, but I was trying to stay focused away from the pain and not draw attention to it.

When I walked into our dorm room I was knocked out. Alice had made our beds back into bunks and shoved them out of the way. She had laid down four sleeping bags on the floor, with other blankets under them since the floor was tile underneath our lone carpet. Angela wasn't going to be joining us. She claimed that her and Ben were going away for the weekend, I think she just wanted to get away from Alice for a while.

In the middle of the floor Alice had already laid out chips and popcorn and pizza and sodas and crap that I was sure would make us sick if we ate like Alice. I was sure she had ice cream hidden away in here somewhere. She had managed to find a TV and DVD player, which had not been in the room before and beside it laid several old black and white movies.

Jenny and Rosalie joined us soon after I got to the room and we began pigging out, of course. Alice would start with food, always.

We watched the movie Some Like It Hot with Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. It was hysterical. I wasn't too impressed with the dingbat Marilyn Monroe played, but it wasn't any different than her other roles. Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon dressed like women and running away from the mob though was priceless. Alice turned to me and poked me saying "If those men can learn to wear heels Bella, then you can." I rolled my eyes at her.

I thought the discussion about heels was over, but I was oh so wrong. As soon as the movie ended Alice shot up and went to my closet pulling out the heels she'd bought me. Rosalie and her made me put them on and tried teaching me how to walk in them. "You need strong calves for these, but they should be stronger after the exercises I keep making you do." Alice told me. Jenny sat there watching and laughing as I wobbled in the heels trying to stay standing. Rosalie and Alice took me on either side and put their own heels on and showed me how to move my feet correctly in them, with one foot in front of the other, not waddling like a duck. They made me walk around in circles in the room for at least thirty minutes before I was allowed to take the painful things off my feet. I'd like to kill whoever invented these.

Sinking down onto my sleeping bag gratefully I asked Alice "So what's next?"

She grinned at me and said "It's time for a makeover."

I rolled my eyes at her and said "Why? None of us need makeovers."

Alice looked at me as though I had grown two heads and said "You always need a good makeover, you can't stay the same forever." Then Alice pulled out a make-up case and clean brushes. It was late, we weren't seeing anyone and eventually we would be falling asleep, so I didn't get the need to put make-up on now. We'd probably wake up with it caked to our faces and smeared, lovely.

While Alice and Rosalie were busy with making each other over Jenny and I watched Breakfast at Tiffany's, we were awaiting our turn of torture. Jenny even seemed to know she couldn't get out of this one.

"Okay, it's your turn." Alice said happily. Her and Rosalie didn't look that much different than they did before. How can you change perfection anyway?

Jenny and I both groaned at her. Alice took over with Jenny while Rosalie worked on me. Really, I'd just had a makeover not that long ago, I didn't think I needed one now. ARGH! Then I heard Alice ask Jenny "Can I cut your hair?"

Jenny looked at her incredulous and asked "Do you know how to cut hair?"

Alice grinned and said "Of course I do." Then why hadn't she cut mine? She turned her head to look at me as if she knew the question in my mind and said "I didn't cut yours because we didn't have time that day, I wanted everything to be perfect."

Amazingly Jenny let her cut it, I was shocked. Then again I didn't think she'd had it cut in several years, as though she was afraid to let anyone touch her, which I guess was the case. Alice gave Jenny's light brown curly hair some semblance of a style, after first cutting off a good foot of it. Jenny looked like she was both excited and sad and wanted to cry. I could empathize with her.

While Alice was attempting to do Jenny's make-up she started asking her questions about... boys? Was she fucking insane? I looked at Rosalie who frowned at her sister as well. Jenny blanched at her and stuttered "I don't... don't... even think... about s... s... sex without h... ha... aving nightmares about it, so I t... t... try not to th... think about liking anyone, at all." What was Alice playing at here? Why would she ask her about that? The rest of us didn't even talk about boys, it felt weird to get into details seeing as how they were all sort of related in a way.

Jenny then looked up at me and she looked so sad it made my heart break. Her eyes filled with tears and all the make-up Alice had worked so hard on was washed away. I scowled at Alice and hugged Jenny while she sobbed. Alice only sat back on her heels and grinned widely at me. Rosalie narrowed her eyes at her.

Her sobs stopping Jenny took a deep breath and looked up at us. She was ready. Jasper was right, I wondered if he told Alice or if she knew on her own.

"It's okay Jenny, you don't have to tell us anything you don't want too." Alice spoke softly. I still had my arms around Jenny giving her support. I was sure if Angela was here she would have done the same. Jenny nodded her head and took some more deep breaths.

"I... I don't... don't... know where to begin." Jenny said sniffling.

"Just tell us whatever you are comfortable telling us." Alice said and I heard Rosalie snort.

"Alice, it's never comfortable telling anyone any of this stuff." Rosalie snapped at her. Alice wisely clamped her mouth shut.

Taking a shaky breath Jenny said "I... I... went to a par... party... with my roommate." She looked up at us and said "Victoria was my roommate then." We all nodded at her, we knew this already. "Some of her friends were having a party and Lauren and Jessica were there. I thought.... thought... they were my friends... They were so drunk that by the end of the night they kept teasing me about being a virgin and were shouting at anyone to take it from me." I watched as her eyes turned to ice as she thought about them. "I hadn't been drinking or so I thought, but I sure as hell felt funny."

"I d... decided I wanted to go back to my room to s...sleep and left the party. My supposed friends..." She spat out the word friends. "Anyway my supposed friends followed me and continued to tease me, th...they wouldn't even let me sh...shut them out of my own dorm room. When I got back I felt like even the air was heavy, I could bare....barely move. I collapsed on my bed face first. It didn't take long for Victoria to come back with two of her friends. Lauren and Jessica were still drunk and told them they should t.... t... take turns fucking me before Victoria told them to get out. At first I was gr...grateful, but that didn't l... last long." Then I watched as Jenny's entire body started shaking. She looked terrified. We all tried to get her to calm down.

Jenny sobbed and choked out "Then they turned me over. I saw Victoria standing there with her friends James and Laurent, none of them looked com...completely sober either. They all looked vi...violent though. Victoria is the one that r... r... ripped my clothes off. She slapped me around a few times, I had bruises from it later. My arms and legs felt so heavy I could....couldn't even move them. I just laid there while I let them r...r....rape me over and over again. I just FUCKING laid there." She yelled out the last angry with herself. "When I w... woke up from the drug induced coma I was in Victoria had already gotten her stuff out of the room and left. I wasn't even sure that I did... didn't dream the entire thing. When I got up to go to the bathroom and looked in the mirror I knew I didn't, but I was t... too ashamed to tell anyone anything. I v... vowed to myself I would n... never trust anyone again. I didn't think I would either until I met you guys."

By the time Jenny had finished we were all sobbing. I was glad she'd spared us some of the details, I didn't even want to think about that. I wanted to murder all of them. How could they do that to her? Someone had obviously drugged her, but who? Who the hell were James and Laurent? Had we ever seen them before?

The rest of the evening passed without anymore emotional speeches. Jenny needed a distraction, so we ended up watching more movies. Of course we fell asleep watching them and woke up to some of the worst screams we'd ever heard coming from Jenny. We all scooted ourselves closer to her and she calmed down. The next morning all of our eyes were still red and puffy from crying.

Alice said "Jenny, come with me. You and I are going to spend the day together, okay?" Jenny looked like she wanted to protest, but when it came to Alice... we knew better.

Alice took Jenny off with her and Rosalie turned to me saying "I hope Jenny comes back in one piece." I laughed at her.

We decided to go to the guy's house that morning, they were all still in bed. Crawling into bed beside Edward I kissed his cheek and waited until he woke up. My mind was spinning with thoughts of what happened to Jenny, it was just too horrible to put into words exactly how I felt. How did she feel then? I sighed, I didn't want to think about it.

Edward stirred awake and smiled at me sleepily. "What are you doing here?" He asked me.

Laughing I said "Alice took Jenny away and I wanted to be here, with you." Then I asked "Did you stay up all night?"

Edward snorted and said "Of course we did, you know.... Emmett." As though that explained everything, I guess it did.

Straddling Edward's waist I said "I missed you." I really needed to feel what sex was like when it was pleasant, I needed to get rid of the thoughts Jenny had put there.

Smiling at me he said "I missed you too." Then he pulled me down to his chest and kissed my lips. His hands roamed under the back of my shirt caressing my back as it was slowly pushed upwards. Sitting back I removed it carefully trying to work it around that ridiculous cast. That thing was annoying as hell. Edward unclasped my bra and let it fall before pulling it all the way off. I leaned down so my bare breasts were against his already bare chest. I could feel him harden against me and desperately wanted to feel him inside me.

"Edward, I need you." I breathed against his lips. His hands started working on my jeans and he pushed them down. I didn't have any panties on, it was just too much trouble to try and get one thing on and off, much less two. I stood up and stepped out of them completely and watched as Edward removed his boxers. I never could get over his beauty. He rolled a condom over his erection and I straddled him again. His fingers felt between my folds and rubbed my core making me wetter, wetter for him. I moaned at the sensation. Then I moved his fingers and slid myself down over him. I placed my left hand on his chest to keep me steady and kept my right one close to my body as I moved up and down over him.

Edward's hand cupped my cheek and said "So beautiful." Then his fingers traced my throat going down to my collarbone and eventually my breasts. He removed his hand from my breasts and I groaned wanting to keep them there. I watched as he sucked his finger and then placed it over my nipple flicking over it as though it was a tongue. My head tilted back as a guttural moan left me. That same finger continued down my body and reaching my core flicked over that as well. It didn't take me long before I felt my stomach clench and my muscles tightened around him in orgasm. I worked myself up and down a little faster until he finally let go. I laid my head down on his chest as I felt him slip from my body. His arms circled around me and held me tight. I fell asleep like that listening to his heart thrumming.
