Bella punches Jakob, Rosalie helps
The pain shots up my arm and I scream loudly.
"SHIT! OW!" I yell and Jakob grabs me by my shoulders.
"What are you doing, Bells?" He asks confusedly and I glare at him.
"You stupid idiotic moronic mut! Don't you ever touch me again!" I scream and turn around swiftly, walking the road towards the treaty line. I dig my cell phone up and hesitate. Edward, Jasper, Alice, Carlisle and Esme are hunting…. I call the Cullen home.
"Rosalie Hale." She answers and I exhale relieved.
"Um, hi Rosalie… could you or Emmet, um, pick me up at the treaty line?" I ask awkwardly.
"Aren't you supposed to stay with the mut until tonight?" She asks tiredly and I swallow thickly.
"Yeah, but I um broke my hand." I mumble and she sighs.
"What did you do?"
"I punched Jacob." I mumble and she chuckles.
"Why?"
"He kissed me." I growl and she hisses.
"Against you will?" She growls dangerously and I shiver.
"Yes, I really tried to get him off me but I- I couldn't. He was too strong." I almost whimper and she growls louder.
"We'll be there in a few minutes and we'll take care of the dog." She growls and I exhale relieved into the phone and hurry towards the border.
"Bell Bell?" Emmet asks suddenly on the other end of the phone.
"Yeah?" I whisper and he exhales relieved.
"Did the mut hurt you?"
"I think he bruised me, but otherwise no."
"We'll get revenge at him. I promise you that." Emmet says in a cold but incredibly protective tone and I feel more at ease.
"Thanks'." I mumble and then I see the treaty line. "How far away are you?" I ask and he sighs.
"A minute." He says and I nod my head without answering him into the phone.
As soon as I step over the line Rosalieis checking me for injuries and pulls me into the car.
"He didn't do anything except kiss you, did he?" She asks gently and I hesitate.
"He tried to feel me up." I mumble and she growls.
"Emmet, drive us to the hospital before I go across that line and kill that mutt by myself." She growls in an icy tone before she brings me into an embrace and smoothes my hair soothingly.
"I think it's time I tell you about how I became a vampire, Bella." She begins and I nod a little and relish in her unusually caring hug. "I was young and beautiful. My parents loved that about me and so did I. One night I was walking home from my best friend Vera when my fiancé and his friends attacked me. I'll spare you the details but they beat me and raped me, then they left me there to die. Carlisle found me and saved me." Her voice is devoid of emotions as she explains and I can't help but shiver at what has happened to her.
"I'm sorry that happened, Rosalie." I whisper and she chuckles slightly.
"I am too, but the reason I told you this is because I want you to understand that if a man ever does something like that to you again, don't hesitate to call me." She pulls away slightly from our embrace and looks down in my eyes. "Even if you think 'it was just a kiss' it's so much more. One day it's just a kiss, then he just touched you inappropriately and then what? It was just rape?" She asks and then she breathes in deeply to calm herself. "We need to tell your father about this as well. I would have killed Jakob Black by myself if it weren't for the treaty so I guess the next best is to tell Charlie. I think he should know what his best friend's son might do to a woman." She says and I hesitate but nod.
"Can we go by my home first?" I whisper and she nods.
"That's fine. How's your hand?" She asks and looks down at it where I have cradled it between me and her, using her cold to numb it.
"I think I might have broken it." I mumble and she feels gently on it, making me wince and then she nods.
"I think so too… depending on how long it takes to speak with Charlie I think we should bring you to Carlisle instead when they come home from hunting." She says and I nod.
"Rosalie…." I hesitate but she nods for me to go on. "Why are you nice to me now?" I whisper and she sighs.
"I don't mean to be rude to you usually but I don't want you to waste your life by becoming a vampire… and right now I just don't want you to ever think this was your fault. I like you Bella… that's why I'm rude to you normally." She explains and I nod a little.
"I understand." I whisper and she smoothes my hair again as the car comes to a halt.
"Emmet stay in the car and don't do anything stupid." Rosalie orders him and I chuckle quietly as he whines. She brings me inside and Charlie looks up surprised from the paper in his hands.
"Bella? Rosalie?" He questions and I hesitate.
"Charlie, Bella has something to tell you about Jakob." Rosalie says and I swallow thickly.
"Jakob kissed me, against my will. I punched him and broke my hand." I whisper and Charlie sits there frozen solid. I look at Rosalie and she smiles slightly, then Charlie gasps for air.
"Did he hurt you?" Charlie asks worriedly as he gets up and I shake my head. "Did he do anything else?"
"He touched me." I mumble and he hugs me gently.
"Do you want to file a report?" He asks and I shake my head a little. "Are you sure?" I nod. "Either way I'm going down to La Push to have a…. talk with him and Billy. Rosalie, can you make sure Bells get to a doctor?" He almost orders as he looks worriedly at me in his arms.
"Of course, Charlie." Rosalie promises.
"Call me if you need anything, Bells. I- I love you and I'm sorry he tried to hurt you. I'm sorry for trying to make you love him instead, I was wrong. Edward is the better choice. Love you Bells, call me later." He says in a rush and then he escapes through the front door, bringing his gun and badge with him. I stand there frozen in surprise. Charlie Swan emotional? The world must have stopped spinning. Rosalie chuckles at my shock and then she drags me out to the car again.
"He loves you Bella." She says and I nod.
"I know it's just that…. Charlie and emotions don't come together." I say and both Rosalie and Emmet chuckles.
"Let's get your hand looked at. Carlisle should be home now." Rosalie says and I nod as I lean my head against her shoulder.
"Thank you Rosalie and Emmet." I whisper and they smile at me.
"Please call me Rose." Rosalie says and I give her a small smile as I nod.
"Rose." I confirm and then we ride the rest of the way in silence.
