A/N: Hey guys. Sorry for the delay. My life has been a little crazy lately. I've barely had time to breathe. Anyway, I've been thinking about how to do this chapter for a couples days now. This is where everyone is going to give their statements on what happened over the period of the story. The problem was, you guys have already read most of it and there are just a few wholes left for me to fill in. Anyway, enjoy.

BELLA

We were perfectly content to spend the next hour or so just laying in each other embraces. In fact, we didn't move an inch until our friends showed up nearly two hours later.

When Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie finally showed up. They all looked a little worse for the wear, but extremely happy. I assumed that their parents all had something to say or some kind of punishment for them, however, everything turned out okay for them anyway. I, carefully, crawled off of Jacob to greet them as the enetered the room.

"So how did everything go?" I asked as I hugged each one of them. "How did your parents take it?"

"Well, my mom was pissed that I went, but she understood why I had to do it." Rose answered. "She grounded me for a month, though. Starting when Jacob gets the okay to go home. She knows how important it is for us to be here with him while he's recovering."

"I'm sorry you got grounded." I stated looking at the floor.

"Why? I'm not." Rose answered and I hugged her again.

"My parents went as lenient." Emmett stated. "I was already grounded and I snuck off to do something dangerous. They didn't like that at all, so they added two months to my already three days. The only reason why they let me come here was so I could talk to the cops. I'm to go straight home, once we finish talking to them." I opened my mouth to apologize, but he put his hand over my mouth. "Don't even say it, Bella. It was worth it to know that you're safe, alive, and still a virgin."

I nodded and he removed his hand. I knew better than to try to say it again. If I did, I'd get a visit from the tickle monster and Emmett is relentless when it comes to tickling. I didn't want to risk it, so I turned to Alice instead.

"What about Ed?" I asked her. "Does he completely hate you, now?"

"Actually, no." she replied with smile. "In fact, he told me that he loved like his own. He, even told me that I should do whatever I can to make sure that Edward gets the punishment that he deserves and he'd still love me when it was all over."

"That's great, Alice." I yelled and through my arms around her. "So did you get in trouble or anything?"

"Not yet, but I think mom wanted to wait until I was sure that Jacob was alright before she said anything." she answered. I nodded.

I looked up at Jasper and gave him a sad smile. For a split second, I thought I saw something like resentment flash in his eyes. I couldn't balme him. He was really the only one of us who didn't have a family to care whether or not he came home safe. Hell, if he still had his family, they probably wouldn't have even cared whether or not he came home alive. The look was gone before I had a chance to be sure if it was really there or not. I, however, wrapped my arms around him anyway.

"Thank you." I whispered. "For saving us."

"Yeah, man, thank you." Jacob said from the bed. "Who knows what would've happened if you hadn't been there."

"I think you owe most of the thank you for that to Rose." Jasper shrugged and smiled at Rosalie.

Alice giggled a little. Jacob, Emmett, and I looked at the three of them like they were crazy.

"What's that all about?" Emmett asked.

There was a knock on the door before Alice, Rosalie or Jasper could answer. A second later, the door opened and Charlie and Billy stepped in.

"I hate to break up the reunion," Charlie stated. "But Officier Micheal's is here and we need to get started on your statements." We nodded and murmured in acknowledgement. "Bells, he wants to start with you."

I nodded.

"Can Alice or someone com with me?" I asked unsure of whether or not I could do this by myself.

"Unfortunately, no." Charlie answered. "They don't want anyone to influence you. However, because, I'm the lead the investigation, I'll be there." I nodded, even though, I didn't really want Charlie to hear about anything that had happened. "Dr. Erikson has kindly given us permission to use his office."

"Right." I replied as I move to follow Charlie out.

My friends, however, had to stop me. They all offered hugs and encouraging words. Jacob even made me go back to his bed and offered several kisses with the promise that everything would be alright. I had to admit, after all of that, I felt slightly better as I followed Charlie to Dr. Erikson's office.

When we got there, five minutes later, there was a man sitting behind Dr. Erikson's desk. He was one of Charlie's buddies who watched baseball with him from time to time. Scott Micheals. He was about six foot one and had those gorgeous green eyes that one could just fall into. Usually, I didn't mind looking in them, but today, the reminded me so much of Edward's that I couldn't look at him anymore. A shiver actually went through my spine as I stared at the floor.

"Bells, are you okay?" Charlie asked and placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Fine." I said taking a deep breath. "Let's just get this over with."

"Have a seat, please." Officer Micheals stated kindly. I did and Charlie stood behind me. The officer placed a small tape recorder on the desk between us and pressed record. "Okay, Miss Swan, I know this is going to be difficult, but I need you to tell me everything that you remember about that last seventy hours. We've already spoken with Jessica Stanley and she tells us that's about when everything started."

For some reason, hearing Jessica's name pissed me off a little. None of this would've ever happened if she didn't have to prove she could take what's mine (A/N; Remember Bella has yet to find out exactly why Jessica did what she did with Edward). I found myself wishing that I could find a way to make her out to be an accomplice because, as far as I was concerned, she was one just for sleeping with him and causing me to break up with him.

"Did the slut also tell you that she's the one who started the whole thing?" I asked with a slight snap in my voice.

Officer Micheals just sat there calmly for a moment. He didn't call me on my language, so I assumed she had told him that part.

"Yes, Miss Stanley did say that she was sleeping with young Mr. Masen behind your back." he replied.

"Then I guess I'll pick it up from there." I stated.

I launched into the whole story, not leaving anything out. I told him everything that happened from the time Alice told me about Edward and Jessica right down to wear Jasper shot Edward and James and Edward stabbed Jacob.

Despite Jacob's reassurance that Jasper wouldn't get into trouble, I still felt the need to emphasize that Jasper had only shot because he didn't have a choice. I was still extremely worried that he was going to go to prison or get into some kind of trouble for it.

After I told Officer Micheals everything I could, I couldn't help but ask,

"Is Jasper going to go to prison?"

He smiled sympathetically and answered,

"I highly doubt it. From what you said, he your guys' only chance to get out of there unharmed. As long as that holds up, he'll be alright."

"Thank you."

He smiled at me again.

"Now, I have to take a couple pictures of your wounds for evidence." he stated and I nodded. "Cheif Swan, can you go find Dr. Erikson, I want him to remove her bandages properly, then while I'm getting the pictures, can you send in Mr. McCarty?"

"Sure." Charlie replied and exited the room.

Dr. Erikson came back a few minutes later and removed my bandages. Once Officer Micheals had everything he needed, Dr. Erikson, recleaned them and put some more bandages on then it was Emmett's turn.

I sighed, exhausted as I left Dr. Erikson's office.

EMMETT

I walked into the doctor's office to see Officer Micheals seated behind the desk. He had a kind and reassuring smile on his face. He gestured for me to sit and I did. Cheif Swan walked in behind me and went to stand in a corner.

"Mr. McCarty," the officer said and pressed record on the tape recorder that was sitting next to us. "Could you please tell me everything you can about the situation between Miss Swan and Mr. Masen?"

"I have to be completely honest, I don't really know too much. I wasn't really involved in anything other than the aftermath of some of the things Edward did." I answered.

"Just tell me what can. Every little bit helps." the officer stated. I nodded.

I explained to him everything that happened from the time Rosalie called me to go to Jasper's on Monday night to our decision to go and rescue Bella. Up until that point, Officer Micheal's had been completely silent and when he finally spoke in was in a curious voice,

"So, you knew Cheif Swan knew what was going on and was investigating what happened. Why did you feel the need to go after her? Why not just leave it to the police?"

I sighed.

"The police had no idea where to start." I stated. "We had a few good ideas. Besides, we knew it would take them a while to get a search party together. We didn't want to risk anything too bad happening to her. As it so happens, by doing what we did, we stopped her from being raped."

"Please continued." he replied obviously satisfied with my answer.

I gave him the rest of the story as I remembered it, then he told me I could go.

"Would you send in Mr. Whitlock?" he asked as I walked out.

JASPER

I was extremely nervous when Emmett came back and told me that it was my turn. I knew I shouldn't have been. I would be just fine if I just told the truth. However, the feeling in the pit of my stomach was reminding me that I had shot two people and could potentiall go to jail. That thought scared the shit out of me. I didn't want to go to jail. I couldn't go to jail because I needed to be with and protect Alice.

She gave me a quick, reassuring kiss before I walked out of the room. I was thankful for that but it didn't make me feel much better. I took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

There was a man sitting behind Dr. Erikson's desk, Officer Micheals, I had a tape recorder sitting on the desk with the microphone facing where i was suppose to sit. Charlie was standing in a corner with his crossed over his chest and a frown on his face. I could feel the anger readiating off of him as he stood there. I could only imagine what he had to be going through. He had to sit there and listen to everyone of our renditions of what had happened to Bella. I was quite surprised that he hadn't taken off to beat the shit out of Edward, already.

"Have a seat." Officer Micheals stated. I did as he said. "Mr. Whitlock, I need to know everything that you do about what happened between Miss Swan and Mr.. Masen, as well as everything that happened when you rescued her."

I nodded and took a deep breath. I explained everything from Monday afternoon when I found Alice asleep in my bed and she told me about Edward's cheating to me getting the phone call at work to tell me that Jacob was in the hospital, right down to my shooting James and Edward.

"Let's talk about that for a moment." Officer spoke for the first time when I got to that part. "Both Mr. McCarty and Miss Swan state that you shot Mr. Masen and his friend, however, they both also state that you weren't in or near enough to the cabin to know what was happening. Would you mind explaining how you managed to know when to shoot and why you thought you needed to?"

I sighed again and answered his question,

"The plan was for me to stay out of the cabin and close to the woods. That way I could intercept Bella when she came out and lead her back to safety." Officer Micheals nodded. "I heard the sounds of fighting but not enough to know what was going on. After about ten minutes, the fighting stopped, but Bella still hadn't come out, yet. I was a little worried but decided to give them another couple of minutes before I went in after them. However, not even a minute after I made my decision, I recieved a text from Rosalie, help in capital letters was all it said. I didn't know what was going on but I did know I was their last hope to get away. I moved closer to the window to see that Rosalie and Alice were sitting on the couch, while James was holding a gun on them. Jacob and Emmett we tied up wiht duct tape and laying on the floor next to the couch. And Edward was holding Bella tightly to him with a knife to her throat. He was trying to get Alice and Jacob to tell him where I was. They told him that I wasn't there. I watched the scene, hesitant about what to do. I knew I only had one shot to surprise them, and I had to make it count. However, with the way the set, there was no way that I was going to be able to shoot one without one of my friends getting hurt. Bella, however, was smart enough to think for herself, she managed to kick him in the balls from her position and I took my shot at James's hand. He immediately released the gun just like Edward had released Bella. The scene continued to play out as I crawled through the window but it was to choastic to follow. The next thing that registered with my brain was Edward going after a slightly dazed Bella with his knife. I took aim at his leg just as Jacob, who had somehow gotten free, jumped in his path. I shot but not in enough time to keep Jacob from getting stabbed."

Officer Micheals nodded and motioned for me to continued. I finished the story and was dimissed and told to send Rose in next.

ROSALIE

When Jasper came in and told me it was my turn, I started to panic just a little bit. I wasn't sure if the officer would believe what I had to say or if he would think I was full of shit. Emmett squeezed my hand reassuringly as I walked out of the room. Five minutes later, I walked into Dr. Erikson's office.

Officer Micheals was sitting behind Dr. Erickson's desk with a tape recorder lying on the table. Chief Swan was standing in the corner looking sad, angry, and concerned all at once. This had to be harder on him than the rest of us. I made a mental note to hug him before I left.

"Please sit, Miss Hale." Officer Micheals stated and I sat. "Would you please give me your recount of the past seventy two hours, in as much detail as possible, please?"

"Of course." I stated.

I told him everything I knew from the phone call Alice gave me on Monday night, saying that Bella was upset and needed to wallow to her calling me at Emmett's house to say that Jacob was in the hospital right down to the moment when I got clever and texted Jasper behind my back. Officer Micheals stopped me when I got to that part.

"I'm confused." he stated. "Both you and Mr. Whitlock, say that you texted the word help to him and that's how he knew to come and help. However, according to Miss Swan and Mr. McCarty, you were not in a position to be able to get your phone out and text someone without being noticed. Would you kindly explain to be how that happened?"

I smiled at him, but my heart was racing. What if he really did think this skill was bullshit? I hoped not because if he did, we may have been screwed.

"As you may know, there is a no cell phone policy at Forks High School and, as you may also know, students like to test that to its limits. I'm no different. However, I've become so good at sneaking around with my cell phone, that I can pull it out anywhere without being noticed, as well as sending texts without looking at the screen. I pulled off one of the greater tricks of getting it out of my front pocket and behind my back without them seeing. I texted Jasper without looking at it." I answered with a shrug.

"Can anyone, other than Mr. Whitlock, confirm this?" Officer Micheals asked.

"Any of my friends can confirm the fact that I can text without looking as well as pull out my phone without getting caught, they've seen it many times. However, Alice did happen to see the phone behind my back as I was sending the text. She can tell you that's what I was doing."

"Very well, Miss Hale, please continue." he stated.

I sighed again and finished the story. I couldn't gauge whether or not he believed my story as I continued to talking. I could only hope. He, however, didn't interrupt me again, so I took that a s a good sign.

I finished the story and he told me I could leave. I was to send Alice in next.

ALICE

I walked into Dr. Erikson's office, feeling pretty good about the whole thing. Why shouldn't I? We didn't do anything wrong. We just saved our friend from two very evil people. There was nothing wrong with that. Yes, we should've left it for the authorities but we couldn't risk Bella's safety anymore that it already was.. Still, there was nothing wrong with that either.

Officer Micheals was sitting behind his desk with a tape recorder in his hand. Chief Swan was standing in a corner looking sullen and very angry. I actually don't think that I've ever seen him look that angry in my life. I was a little terrified of him at the moment.

"Miss Brandon, good evening." Officer Micheals greeted and gestured to a chair. I sat down and crossed my arms over my chest. "Please tell me about the situation with Mr. Masen and Miss Swan?"

I started talking about everything. I had to go all the way back to Edward's violent outbursts and how he pushed me down the stairs because I didn't want him dating Bella. I told him Ed made him get help after that night and how he was getting better. Which is why I let Edward go out with Bella. Once we got back to the present, I told him everything that happened from finding, Edward and Jessica in the library, to finding Jacob on the lawn and right down to the rescue. I told him about every little detail of the rescue.

"I do have one question, Miss Brandon." Officer Micheals stated when I got to Jasper's entrance."Miss Hale and Mr. Whitlock both said that Miss Hale texted Mr. Whitlock that you were all in trouble.. She said that you saw her with her phone when no one else did. Is this true?"

"Yes, sir it is." I stated. "Rose has this uncanny ability to pull out her phone, unnoticed by anyone, and text without looking at it."

"I see. You may continue."

I finished the story with Jacob being stabbed and me telling Rose to call Charlie.

"Thank you, Miss Brandon. You may go back. Would you kindly tell Mr. Black that we'll be to his room, momentarily to take his statement?"

"Of course." I stated as I headed out the door.

JACOB

By the time the officer had finished talking to everyone, Bella had curled back into my beds. I had my arms wrapped tightly around her and was weaving my fingers through her hair. I didn't know why but when she was laying next to me, the pain from the wound seemed to dull more than it did when I was doped up on morphine. I think it was a mental thing.

I believed that just being near my angel and knowing that she was alive and safe made everything better. Hence the reason the pain went away when she was laying next to me. I didn't think that I be able to let her go ever again. It just felt so wonderful lying there with her.

I had even mananged to forget everything that had happened in the last seventy two hours. In fact, I forgot everything except Bella as we laid there. Nothing else in the world mattered at the moment. It was just her and I in our own little bubble. It was something that I had been dieing to have for years and now that it was here, I didn't think that I could live without it. However, a bubble has to burst eventually, right?

Ours did the minute Officer Micheals entered the room with Chief Swan. I sighed knowing what they wanted.

"We need to speak with Mr. Black, alone right now." Officer Micheals stated and the others made to leave.

I caught Bella's wrist and pulled her back to me before planting a gentle kiss on her lips and whispering I love you. She smiled withthat beautiful blush I loved so much and then she was gone. I sighed again and looked at Officer Micheals.

"So Mr. Black, I'd like to offer you my best wishes before we begin." Officer Micheals stated as he sat.

"Thank you." I stated. "I appreciate that."

"Now, I need you to tell me everything you remember about this whole ordeal." he said.

I told him what I remembered.I first told him, how much I loved Bella and that I would do anything for her. He gave me a-thank-you-captain-obvious-look at those words. I just continued with the story, though. I told him how devastated Bella was when she caught Edward with Jessica. I told him about confessing my love to her the next afternoon then about how Edward came and beat me up. I told him about us planning the rescue and everything that went down with that.

Officer Micheals didn't stop me or ask any question. I was pretty thorough with it. I wanted to make sure that asshole was locked up and couldn't get his hands on Bella again.

"Thank you for your time, Mr. Black." he stated once I finished. "Here's my card." he handed me several of them. "Give one to your friends. And tell them to call me if any of you remember anything else."

"Right." I nodded.

"Chief, I need to have a private word with you." he stated looking at Charlie. "We'll send your friends back in."

He and Charlie left the room. I could tell how angry Charlie was the entire time he was in that room with us. He just stod there stone faced and staring at nothing. I had to admit, I didn't want to be Edward the next time Charlie went to see him. Edward would deserve whatever he got, though.

Bella and the others came back in a minute later and I stopped thinking about the asshole. My friends surrounded my bed and Bella crawled back into curling herself into my chest. I was back in my little bubble of perfection where nobody could hurt me or my sweet beautiful angel.

A/N: What do you guys think? I had a hard time because I'm like so tired. You have no idea. I hope you all enjoyed. Please review.
