Warning: I don't know where I'm going with this but there will be violence, abuse, self harm and bad language.

Disclaimer: If i had owned twilight, Lauren would get Edward...lol. but i don't, its all SMeyer's. Or the song, don't own that either. I don't remember if they mentioned anything about Lauren's parents so forgive me if they did.

A/N I'm changing the rating now, to 'T' because i can't see myslef writing any bad scenes, at least for now.

And screamed, and screamed.

She wouldn't stop, or even open her eyes, for five solid minutes.

After which, she flopped back onto the bed and left the four Cullens flabbergasted.

Edward was at the teens side within nano seconds, taking her hand whilst frowning, "What in the world was that?" He murmured silkily, easing his thumb pad over Lauren's wrist, as if trying to calm her fluttering pulse with his skin on hers.

If anything, Alice noted slyly, smiling impishly, despite the seriousness of the situation, If anything, that'll speed her pulse up!

Edward shot her a dirty look, opening his mouth to reply icily but was plagued by thoughts of Jasper, naked.

Wincing with agony, Edward forced himself not to look at Jasper and focused on the once more sleeping girl.

If i can get inside her head, his thoughts whispered, i can see what happened.

Closing his eyes, Edward focused, stripping down the muffling barriers that normally kept the voices of his family dampened.

Darkness.

Edward flinched, hissing lowly as he watched the black inkiness that was Lauren's mind. Every thought, happy or otherwise, seemed to have been sucked from her mind, stolen away and it infuriated him.

"Edward,"

A voice called to him.

"Edward, dammnit!"

Someone was shaking him but a grey matter was surrounding him, masking his eyes, mouth and nose, like all his senses were on lock down.

"Edward! Manly vampires DO NOT FAINT!"

The smog grey stronger, greyer.

"Edward, don't make me get Emmett," the concerned voice warned, "He'd have a field day."

Even that threat didn't steal him away from the rolling fear he felt from where he was still seated in Lauren's mind.

However, what did bring him out was another voice. A softer, yet more jaded girl's voice.

"Edward," It whispered, "Edward Cullen?" Then, with the next words the soft voice seemed to bleed horror and confusion, "Vampire!"

Suddenly, Edward realised. Not only was he in Lauren's head, Lauren was in his too.

"Lauren?" His voice was slow, cautious even. He almost felt the weary glances his family exchanged around him.

"Help me," Lauren's tearful voice begged.

Edward made himself a promise in that one moment. He swore that he'd stop her from hurting. He swore that she'd never have to be afraid again.

Now all he had to do was get her to wake up, wake himself up, convince her he wasn't a bloodsucking fiend, and promise her that Alice had found her by jogging in the woods at midnight, like always.

The he had to get her away from her loathsome father.

Yeah, well. No one said being charitable was easy.

Yeah so its short. And quite crappy if i do say so myself but right now? Writers block is looming, things at school are horrible, everyone hates me, with the exception of maybe a few people and to top it all off my Grandad is coughing up blood.

So as you can guess, i'm not in a writing mood unless its one shots. So i'm trying, i really honest to god am, but please, be patient.
