Warning- there is swearing and implication of mature themes in this chapter.

I sat in the cold metal room, with my wheel chair. Edward insisted that I bring it, he wanted me to wait until Carlisle could come check me out but I assured him I would be fine. Charlie, Renee, and Edward are probably now sitting in the waiting room. Someone had to drive me here.

The room consisted of concrete and steel, I think there was a dried blood stain on the wall to the right of the door. Two chairs were seated across the shinny table from me. They were both cold and metal. I didn't get to admire the room for much longer Agent Salvin and Brath walked in. Agent Brath was holding the folder again.

"Hello Bella" Salvin said. I nodded in her direction not really feeling the need to talk.

"Are you alright?" She asked, I just shrugged.

"OK Bella, why don't you start out by telling us About Andrew. I will be recording this interview, you may have a lawyer present but we are not making any formal charges against you at the moment." Brath said sitting down in one of the chairs, Salvin sat quickly in the other.

"OK, I met Andrew at a party of a mutual friend. He asked me out a week or so after we met, I obviously said yes" I leaned back in the chair. They asked me questions about Andrew and our relationship often, well that was pretty much all they asked about.

"Did he ever hurt you Bella?" Salvin asked.

"Yes"

"How did he hurt you?"

"By hurting me" I sighed is she really going to make me go over every detail.

"Answer the question!" Brath snapped. I leaned forward over the table to him.

"you gonna make me?" I asked in a low voice. I needed to push this guy, as far as he could go. I really couldn't explain why, but I really needed to make him mad.

"You seem pretty fucking cocky for a supposed abuse victim" he snarled.

"I never called myself a victim" I calmly leaned back in the chair. People don't hit other people for no reason do they? No, I answered my own question silently they don't. It went on like this for a while, they asked me questions about my past, I finally got fed up with it though.

"Shut up! Just shut up! It doesn't fucking matter what happened back then! Its over, he is dead and I am the one who shot him. The case is about me shooting him, not about what our relationship was like, good or bad its none of your damn business!" I screamed at them. Salvins mouth was open Brath was sitting there like a brick wall though.

"Did you or did you not want him to die?" Brath asked.

"I cant say I wanted him to live."

"Did you shoot him in self defense?" Salvin asked.

"No" I responded.

"What?!" she gasped. Brath smirked.

"So Bella were you mad at him, maybe he was only defending himself from you." Brath asked leaning back in his chair.

"You know he let me hold the gun, even when I had it pointed to his gut. I tried to give it back once but he wouldn't take it. You know why? It was because he knew I would never have the guts to shoot him. He was right." I stopped to take a deep breath.

"If I shot him in self defense wouldn't I have shot him when the knife was pressed against my throat. I didn't though. I shot him when he went after Edward." I folded my arms on the table.

"Why didn't you shoot him when you had the chance?" Brath questioned.

"I already told you. I couldn't fucking do it." I snarled clenching my hands into fists.

"But you could shoot him when he went after that kid" Brath leaned forward.

"Because then it wasn't only about me anymore"

"Oh how selfless of you" Brath threw is arms up in the air. Agent Salvin put her hand on his for arm but she shook it off and glared off into the distance. After a molment of slience Agent Salving went back to questioning me. She seemed a bit more careful this time though.

"Bella, did he rape you?" Agent Salvin asked after a short pause.

"When, do you mean that night or ever?" I asked indifferently.

"What the fuck does it matter when?" Brath snarled at me.

"It matters a whole fucking lot. If she is asking about the night I shot him then it relates to the case, but if she isn't then it has nothing to do with the topic at hand" I explained.

"Bella has he ever done that to you, that night included?" Salvin asked.

"Your going to have to be more specific. I'm going to need a certain date" I smirked at her she frowned.

"Fine Bella did he rape you the night you shot him?" Salvin asked leaning back into the chair.

"No he did not" I smiled.

"Has he ever?" she persisted.

"that's not relevant" I crossed my arms across my chest.

"Bella we are trying to help you!" Salvin protested.

"I don't care! I don't want your help! I don't need it!" I slammed my fists on the table. I closed my eyes and took deep breaths until I calmed down. "Let's just get this over with" I mumbled. They asked me more questions, most of which I answered.

"You know you took an innocent persons life Bella, how do you justify that to yourself?" Brath snarled at me. I glared.

"There is no possible way I could consider him innocent. Are you blind?! Do you see the burn on my arm? The bruises on my face? I didn't do this to myself" I snapped.

"How do we know that?" Brath questioned.

"how could I have done this myself, thrown myself hard enough into the wall to crack it?! You interviewed the police right? I know I shot him. I was there. Don't think this isn't going to bother me at all. You don't even know me!" I yelled. Brath opened the folder showing a full page picture of Andrew lying on the wet grass, blood poured out from his chest.

"Look what you did. You're the monster here. This kid has wonderful parents who are now childless because of you!" Brath shouted. I stood up and pushed my hands down on the table.

"I know what I did. Maybe I am a monster, but I'm not the only fucking one. His parents hardly even spoke to him, they probably won't notice the difference anyway!" I screamed as loud as I possibly could.

"you shot him in the back, he wasn't even facing you! How is that self defense! You have all the small town cops in on this!" he stood up now too.

"I told you it wasn't self defence! I was trying to protect everyone else! Maybe if you weren't so sure I messed this whole thing up you would be able to listen!" I screeched. His face turned an ugly purple color and he got closer and closer to me.

"What are you gonna do? Hit me? Nothing new, your going to have to do better than that" I raised an eyebrow at him. He might have actually hit me if Agent Salvin didn't pull him back. She glared at him and pointed towards the door. When he didn't move she grabbed his shirt roughly and yanked him out the door with her.

I could hear their muffled yells through the door. I couldn't make out any of the words but I could tell the tone difference of the two voices, that much was obvious. I sat in the chair wondering about Agent Brath. He looked oddly farmilear, not like I had met him before but maybe seen him in a picture or something. Salving opened the door slightly to tell me the interview is over, but they might call me back later and that she is sorry about Agent Brath's behavior.

I was right. Edward, Renee, and Charlie were all sitting in the waiting room, waiting for me. I sighed relaxed to be around Edward again. He looked worriedly at me, I smiled slightly, it was all I could manage I was emotionally drained.

"I want to go home" I closed my eyes and leaned back in the wheel chair. I didn't miss the glance that Charlie and Renee gave each other though. I groaned silently.

"Well Bella, we thought you would be in the hospital for a bit longer so we got some construction workers to come today" Renee said carefully as if she was scared that she might hurt me.

"Oh" was all I could manage to say. I frowned and looked down at my feet, suddenly awkward.

"Bella you can relax at my house, I'm sure Esme would love to have you" Edward offered. I looked up at him and nodded. We both looked to Charlie and Renee, it felt juvenile looking to my parents for approval after everything that has happened. Renee nodded reluctantly.

Edward wheeled me out of the police station and down the ramp to his car. I stared at his face the whole time, he didn't look at me until he opened the side door for me. He seemed surprised to see me staring at him intently with a blank look on my face.

Edward helped me into the car and got in himself on the other side. I didn't move my eyes from his face, this time he often glanced off the road to look at me, I could bring myself to care enough to tell him to keep his eyes on the road.

I was able to tear my eyes away from Edward long enough to catch a glimpse of the house. It was amazing, huge and white with a Victorian style to it. (I'm not going to go into detail we all read it in Twilight)

He helped me out of the car, I wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned my head onto his chest. One handed he pulled the wheel chair out of his trunk opened it and set it down for me. I shook my head when he lowered me to the wheel chair.

Edward understood that I desperately didn't want him to let me go. He carried me into the house, I let my eyes drift closed and felt my body relax into light slumber. I could feel us moving but I wasn't really aware of anything.

I opened my eyes when I heard him open another door, we were in a room with a wall of CDs a player and a wide black leather couch. (Its obviously Edwards room guys I don't like describing something we already know) Edward walked over to the couch, we sat down on it. He tried to move away slightly but I gripped his jacket.

I finally let go of Edward and sat curled against the edge of the couch staring off into space. I didn't want to look at anything, I didn't want to think of anything either. Just sit doing nothing with Edward in my company.

"Bella?" Edwards's soft voice shattered the silence; I turned my head towards him. "Are you alright?" I looked at him for a long time before I shook my head no, I am not alright. Everything is not ok, it might not ever be ok who knows.

"I'm sorry that was a stupid question. Of course you're not--" Edward kept rambling but I silenced him by putting a finger to my lips.

"Shh Edward, just shhh" I murmured before I closed my eyes, I felt him pull me to his chest as I drifted into a content sleep.

Hey guys, I feel like Bella! I have a bruise on my face :( And it really hurts, no before you ask its not because I'm abused. I was at a conceret in the mosh pit, and I think I got elbowed but I cant be to sure. Hehe show was sure fun though

Anyway REVIEW!!
