Disclaimer: I DO NOT own twilight.

The silence was never ending. The ringing in my ears from the Gunshot told me that I had been sitting here in the corner curled up into a ball for a few minutes. I can still feel my body shaking and my hard breaths were coming out faster than normal. My heart beat was racing. I heard shuffling around and grunting noises. I whimpered softly and tucked into myself more. Please god, if you love me; don't let me get hurt.

I waited a few more minutes after the shuffling and grunting stopped but no more movement was heard, or made. I was about to lift my head up once again. Afraid of what I would see, but I knew I had to know.

Before I could look up, I felt two strong arms wrap around my body tightly. I screamed bloody murder and began fighting off whomever was touching me. But the arms stayed in put. I didn't realize someone was talking to me until my screaming died down. My fighting never stopped and I continued whimpering.

"Bella, BELLA! Its me! Edward! Calm down baby. Calm down!" I recognized his voice quickly and I trembled in his arms. I quit fighting and looked up at his face. I could see he had a new black eye coming on and a busted lip, that's as far as I could tell from my point of view. "E-E-Edward?" I whispered. He nodded quickly burying his face in my neck and taking a deep breath.

"Edward! What happened?" I whispered again in fear. Was he hurt? What had happened? WHERES JAMES?! All possibilities ran through my head, and each one was not good at all. "Bella, lets get you dressed. I'll tell you in a minute baby" He whispered as he helped me up into a standing position. I felt my legs go weak a little at the scene in front of me.

Blood was everywhere! The ground, the tiles, the walls…everything. But the worse thing of all..No James. NO. JAMES! He was nowhere to be seen and the door to the room was wide open. The night shining through the small dimly lit bedroom.

I held my breath as we walked out of the bathroom. Edward practically carried my half limp body to the small two beds. He sat me on one as he began searching the small room for something for me. When he found his shorts he was wearing under his jeans, he handed them to me and handed me his old shirt. I was swimming in his clothes. He tied up the waist on both of them. He sat down on the bed next to me and pulled me into his arms. "Baby, james got away but, right now. I have a bad feeling if we stay in here, in this room. He will come back. I know he will. He took his van, but left important stuff here. So lets get your shoes on and we can leave. And we can go to the front desk and call your parenrts or something!"

I could tell that he was panicking and he needed to leave asap. I knew this too, but for some odd reason i couldn't get myself to move. I couldn't even barely pay attention to what he was saying right now. "BELLA...LETS..GO!" I knew he isn't mad at me but, he still made me flinch at his tone. He went pale quickly as he understood what he did. He pulled me into his arms and apologized over and over. "It's okay edward, lets go!" I said. But i couldn't move still. Im guessing i am in shock. From the looks of it.

He ran into the bathroom and grabbed my shoes and ran back. He kneeled down in front of me and he put my shoes on for me. He looked up at me concerned. I knew i was frightening him and i needed to start moving but my bran and body could not process this all. "Ugh damnit bella! Come on babe, i'll just carry you" He said as he stood up. "No no, i'm fine!" I snapped just as he began to pick me up. Flinching away i quickly stood up, snapping out of whatever had me so improductive.

"Alright, lets go" i knew the way i was reacting to him touching me, was hurting him more than words could say. But everything the james had done to me was fresh in my mind. Him touching me, and him hurting me; and edward. My brusied body is just going to be a reminder of this. And until it heals, i'm going to have to deal with this every day. In my own way. But thank god i have edward helping me.

As i reached over and put my hand in his i was glad that i didn't flinch away. He pulled me closer/protectiviley to him. And as we walked out into the night, i knew my life was forever changed.

THIS IS NOT THE END!
