AN- Once again a big thanks to everyone reading and reviewing my story. I know some people wouldn't have been happy with my decision to get Bella to leave, She's all over the place at the minute and doesn't know what she wants or what she is doing. It is a very confusing time for her and her reactions are going to seem rash and uncoordinated.

Here's the second half of the chapter, Lets see what Rosalie can do to help Bella out.

Chapter 49

Realisations Part 2 (Rosalie POV)

The rest of the evening was painfully slow, we all settled down to our pizza and although there was joking and laughing, in the backs of all our minds there was still that one piece missing, Bella. Edward didn't come down for dinner everyone knew how much Bella leaving had affected him and no one knew what to say or do to help.

Emmett decided it would be a good idea to watch some action film on TV, what I really wanted to do was crawl into bed and think over what I was going to say to Bella tomorrow. But I couldn't tell the others that I wanted to go to bed at 8pm without there being something wrong. So I sat there staring at the TV, watching people blow each other up, without one clue of what was actually happening. Once the movie was over Emmett decided it would be a good idea to go make popcorn, I tried to persuade him otherwise

"Em, it's 9:40 at night do you really think we need popcorn this late."

"Of course babe, we need something to munch on for the next firm." He replied as if this was the most obvious thing in the world.

With that Emmett and Alice jumped up and headed towards the kitchen I sighed and shook my head at him not really having the energy to be cross.

"Rose is everything ok?" Jasper asked coming over to sit next to me.

"Yeah I'm just tired it's been a long few days." I replied semi honestly not really wanting to fill even Jasper in on my plan in case it didn't work.

"Liar, tell me what are you planning?" Jasper whispered seeing straight through me as always.

Sighing I replied "I've been speaking to Carlisle and Jayne and they have agreed that it would be a good idea if I went and spoke to Bella. I'm going to tell her about our past and what happened."

"Oh" Was his only response and he just sat there staring into space for what felt like an eternity before he finally responded "I think…that it would be a good idea I mean if anyone can get through to her you can."

"Are you sure, you don't mind me talking to Bella?" I asked this was as much his story as mine.

"Of course I don't mind, especially if it helps Bella even if it is only slightly." He replied.

Emmett and Alice came bounding back into the room each with a bowl of popcorn I laughed at the amount they had made. We all settled back into watch yet another action film, I curled up into Emmett's side and soon found myself falling asleep not being able to keep my eyes open any longer.

At some point I felt Emmett wrap his arms around me and carry me up to bed I was so exhausted I didn't even open my eyes, and as soon as he laid us down I remembered no more.

I woke up a little after 6am the following morning looking over to see Emmett flat on his back and snoring slightly, I smiled down at him, Esme and Carlisle didn't always like us sharing a bed, but sometimes it was good to wake up with someone next to you who you knew loved you unconditionally.

As quietly as possible I crept out of bed and jumped into the shower washing and conditioning my hair. Once the hot water had started to run cold I got out the shower wrapping myself in a big fluffy white towel and blow dried my hair, creeping back into my bedroom I went over to the closet grabbing a navy pair of jeans and a flowered blouse getting dressed and heading into the kitchen, where Carlisle and Esme were sat each with a cup of coffee.

"Hey sweetheart, you're up early." Esme said getting up to wrap me in a tight hug.

"Yeah I guess I just couldn't sleep." I replied pulling away from Esme and sitting down at the breakfast bar.

"You know it you don't want to go and see Bella you don't have to no one will hold it against you." Carlisle said worrying about me.

"No I want to do it, Bella needs to realise that were not going to harm her in any way she needs the same chance you gave me." I replied trying to share my thought processes with them.

"Ok Rose, were not going to stop you, but we want you to realise that if Bella chooses not to come back with you that it is not your fault and you can't blame yourself." Esme told me kindly.

I nodded in response and spent the next hour sat going over in my head what it was I wanted to say to Bella. I had decided that I would start at the beginning and tell her everything, from all the abuse to how terrified I was of everyone, except Jasper. I just hoped that it was enough.

Around 8am Jayne arrived and had a quick cup of coffee with Carlisle and Esme, we finally left and luckily none of the others were up yet, as it was a Sunday, no one would service for at least another couple of hours. I climbed into Jayne's car and she pulled away and headed towards Seattle, we didn't speak for the first hour of the drive Jayne had the radio tuned into a classical channel which I found calming. I heard Jayne clear her throat before quickly glancing at me and turning back towards the road.

"Is there anything you want to talk about before we get to the hospital" Jayne asked always putting me before anyone else.

"No I know what I'm going to say, I'm just going to tell her the truth about everything hopefully it will help her to realise that no matter how bad things are now, there is a light at the end of the tunnel I'm proof of that." I finished smiling genuinely at Jayne.

She smiled back "You are really happy, and you're right it may help Bella." She said but she didn't sound completely convinced. I think it was more about the way Bella was acting rather than what I was about to do.

"How's Bella?" I asked wanting to prepare myself fully for what I was about to face.

"Urm, she's, quiet, extremely distant, she shies away from anything more than formal contact. Her eyes have this glazed look which show's that she's rarely in the room, but relieving some memory from her past." Jayne explained.

"I remember the feeling well" I muttered grimacing at the memory and the feelings it brought with them.

The rest of the drive became a little more relaxed me and Jayne, laughed and joked, talked about boys, clothes and make up all the girl chatter that we just love so much. Finally Jayne pulled up outside of a closed gate she rolled down a window and punched in a code, before we pulled through.

"What's with the locked gates I thought this was a hospital not a prison or a secure unit." I half joked genuinely concerned about where Bella was staying.

"It's a private hospital Rosalie, the only reason for all the extra security is that this is a private hospital and they occasionally get celebrities here, the gates keep out the press." Jayne clarified making me feel a little better knowing Bella was in the best place.

"Hang on a sec if this is such a fancy hospital it must be costing a fortune. Who's paying for it?" I asked although I had a hunch.

Jayne laughed before answering me "well, I know someone who works here and so he's giving me a pretty good deal and Carlisle is paying the rest."

"I knew it of, course it had to be him." I replied joining in with the laughter.

Jayne pulled into a visitor parking space and we jumped out the car and headed towards the main entrance. Once we signed in we climbed the stairs to the fourth floor. I was surprised that there wasn't that sterile smell you would normally associate with hospitals. Jayne paused in front of the end door in a long corridor before she knocked quietly she paused to hear a response, but none came so she pushed the door open anyway and stepped in, I followed behind her but stayed near the door rather than entering further into the room I didn't want to scare Bella away. Jayne went up to the perching on the edge before speaking to Bella.

"Good morning, how are you feeling today?" Jayne asked cheerfully, Bella shrugged her shoulders in response not even looking up from staring at her hands.

Jayne turned towards me motioning for me to come into the room further, taking a deep breath I did as she asked.

"Bella, Rosalie wants to talk to you she thinks she may be able to help with what you are going through." Jayne explained as I approached the bed.

Again there was no response from Bella, she didn't even move or flinch at the mention of me. Jayne moved away from the side of the bed, so that I could take her place. Jayne sat in the chair giving us a little space.

Taking a couple of calming breathes I began "Bella, I know some of what you're going through right now, you see me and Jasper are adopted, I don't even know if you know that. The reason Carlisle and Esme adopted us was because we didn't have a mother and our Father used to beat us a lot, especially me." I paused to look for a reaction and was kind of pleased to get one.

Bella's eyes were wide with what looked like fear, concern and for the first time she met my eyes, I smiled at her warmly but she didn't smile back and just continued gauzing at me for a few seconds before lowering her eyes again.

"Although me and Jasper are twins, I have always felt protective of him, Our Father started hitting my first, it was just occasional mainly on the weekends when he drank too much. Jasper was always off playing with his toys or reading his History book, I used to tease him about his reading calling him a sissy for doing it so much. Soon though things began to get worse and he'd be drinking every night, I didn't want Jasper to ever be hit by our Father and so I always made sure he was out the way and let him hit me instead. Every time he hit me I took it because it meant that he was not hurting my brother, then everything fell apart Jasper realised what was going on and one night he tried to stop him from hitting me and ended up pushing Jasper into a table, he hit his head on the corner and he was unconscious for the longest time."

Bella interrupted what I was saying and finally spoke "Oh my god" it was barely more than a whisper but it was a start.

I smiled before continuing "Jasper lay on the living room floor for the longest time, he wasn't moving and I genuinely thought he was dead. I begged with my father to take him to the hospital, but he point blankly refused. I sat next to Jasper all night begging for him to wake up, thankfully he did, we both took the rest of the week off school, not that my father cared either way, I was pretty sure that Jasper had a concussion he slept so much, but he was ok. Not once in that whole week did he come up to Jasper's room and check he was ok, he kept on drinking and hitting me or course." I paused I could hear the venom in my voice.

I decided that telling Bella all the dirty details was probably not the best way to show how things could get better, after all her memories are fresh. Bella was looking at me again and so while I had her undivided attention I decided to get to the good part.

"A couple of years after that particular incident, he beat me pretty badly, Jasper was terrified, and once he was asleep he left the house to go get help, I don't know where he got the courage from to do that but I will always be in his debt for that. The police came and took us to hospital, the last time I saw my Father was as they put him into a police car, and the only thing I saw in his eyes was hatred, and nothing else, and that is something I'll never forget no matter how many new memories I make for myself."

A single tear rolled down my cheek and I brushed it away, I wasn't ashamed to cry about my past, it's a way of letting out all the emotions that often build up and I wanted to show Bella that it was ok.

"Rosalie I am so sorry, it must have been awful you had such a horrible time…" Bella began before I made her stop.

"Bella stop apologising you didn't make my Father hit me and Jasper any more than you made your own hit you." I replied, Bella flinched at the mention of her Father.

I quickly carried on not wanting to lose her after all this work "We spent about two weeks in hospital recovering from our various injuries, before we were placed in our first foster home. Jasper coped a lot better than I did, I was jumpy and agitated and refused to be in the same room as any grown up male on my own, my foster father resented me for that and after only a few weeks we were moved to another home, the same thing happened over and over again we went into five different homes until we finally met Jayne. She seemed to understand that I wasn't just being a difficult, disruptive child which was what I was labelled, but that I was terrified of men, something I couldn't control. She arranged with social services for us to live with the Cullen's, I never expected anything to be different and for the first few months they weren't I wouldn't look or speak to Carlisle at all, and I would only be in the same room as Edward when either Esme or Jasper was present."

Bella looked up meeting my eyes once again and I saw a hint of realisation in hers, she was feeling exactly the same way as I used to, yes she had trusted us in a way, but it wasn't true trust, she always thought she was going back to Charlie eventually and so it didn't matter what we thought or did. When she realised that wasn't the case she backed off not wanting to be hurt by anyone else especially people she was beginning to like. If she pulled away she wouldn't open herself up to any more pain or discomfort.

Keeping her gauze I decided to finish off my story "It took months before I finally trusted Carlisle, I had gotten into a fight at school and he came to pick me up, yet he wasn't angry or upset he said nothing and I realised that there was no danger from this man I was safe, I broke down in tears and let him hold me. After that it took about another year before I was truly comfortable with Carlisle and not once did her ever get cross or upset and continued to show me nothing but love and compassion." I finally finished.

I glanced at Jayne and she smiled at me showing that I had done everything right.

"I'm sorry Rosalie, your story is just terrible, but why did you come and tell me?" Bella asked as a steady stream of tears started to fall.

"Because Bella I want you to come home, I wanted you to see that no matter how alone you feel right now, all that guilt, pain, anger, terror that is consuming every cell in your body, will eventually get easier, they don't go away completely I won't lie to you, but are replaced by other emotions and memories good ones." I explained smiling and reaching out to take her hand in mine.

She cried quietly for the next ten minutes while I held onto her hands, once she calmed down enough she spoke "I see what you are saying but I just can't take any more right now, what if you all get fed up with me and kick me out, the pain that would cause, would kill me." She explained a little hoarsely.

"Bella, I know you have no trust in me or anyone else right now, but please don't push us away, let us help you heal, physically and emotionally. It will take weeks, months even but you can learn to trust us, please dig deep down inside I know you have an ounce of faith somewhere." I tried desperately to get her to come back.

"If, if I do this and it doesn't work it will destroy me entirely and I would never be able to rebuild whatever sort of life I may eventually have alone." She whispered.

"Bella if you want to live alone then there is nothing I can do to stop you, but if that is your choice then you will never trust anyone again you will always be looking behind you for the next threat, you will drive yourself crazy. I am asking you to do the hardest thing right now and trust me just a little, me and all our family will help rebuild your trust in humanity again, please just come home." I finished if she still refused to come home then there was nothing else I could do.

I finally looked up from our joined hands and she met my eyes and nodded her head as consent for coming back with me.

"I'll come back with you, but only because I have nowhere else to go. Once I can support myself I will do so, I have to be on my own." She told me and the tone of her voice was so strong that I decided not to argue with her.

I had gotten her to come home that was the easy part the hard part was getting her to stay and then trust in us.

AN- Rosalie has persuaded Bella to come home with her. Things will only look up form now on, even if there are a few bumps in the road along the way.

Let me know what you think reviews are always greatly appreciated.
