Disclaimer:I do not own Twilight.
So many thoughts ran through my had. The flashes and memories of abuse. The pain and insults. Then there was the good times. Our wedding night, the birth of the twins, the happy times.
"Try to save him. Do what you can," I told him. He nodded solemnly.
"You sure, Bella," Jasper asked.
"He's still there dad," I motioned to the twins. "I can't have that on my conscious."
"I understand," He left the room. I suddenly felt a heavy wave of exhaustion. I silently thanked Jasper as sleep over took me.
I awoke to giggling and I smiled. That had to be the girls. I slowly opened my eyes. The light practically blinded me. I looked to where the giggles were coming from. I smiled at the sight. Jasper was playing with them. They tackled him and he willingly went down. My heart nearly broke.
Logan never played with the babies. He was always out of drunk. I sighed and Looked through the window. My heart hurt to know that I had fallen so hard for a monster. An abusive and cruel monster. The only thing I would never regret was the twins.
Valerie and Vaneesa were my rock. They still are. Now more than ever. Val and Ness looked at me. Their big brown eyes shining brightly. I also noticed that their pretty mahogany ringlets in pig tails. They had on pink and white ribbons and identical white and pink dresses.
PART 2
This was definitely not the work of me. They looked like me. Not one trace of Logan in them. I smiled. They smiled back.
"Mommy!" They ran over to me, but knew not to jump onto the bed. They were wise beyond their years.
"Who are you? You can't be my babies. My babies aren't so excited." I said.
"Grandma Esme and Aunt Rosalie promised to take us to the fair tomorrow. We've never been to the fair before." Valerie blurted.
"Is that so?" I looked towards the door where Rosalie and Esme stood and scowled at them. With Logan's friends running around, I didn't want my children in such big, confusing places. They could easily get lost. They both glanced at me sheepishly.
"Can we go," Vanessa asked with the cutest pout face. Valerie gave me big puppy dog eyes and said, 'pleeeeeezzze'. How could I deny those faces. I completely melted with one look at them.
"I guess it will be okay," I told them cautiously. Val jumped up and down clapping. Ness just smiled and hugged me. Valerie was the hyper and athletic one while Vanessa remained serene and graceful. They were complete opposites.
I greeted Rosalie. She was surprisingly nice. Emmett came in a little while later with half of the Mc'Donald's menu. His excuse was that he didn't know what we wanted to eat. We were all eating when Carlisle came in.
"Bella, Logan's okay. Are you pressing charges?" Carlisle asked. This was what I was already quipped to answer. I looked towards the twins and Esme took them for ice-cream.
"No," I said simply. They all were in the state of shock and couldn't protest right away.
"Why not?" Carlisle asked calmly.
"Because it won't make a difference."
They continued to stare at me. Rosalie cleared her throat.
"Could I speak to Bella alone, please?" Everyone but me and Rose was left in the room.
PART 3
"What's the real reason, Bella?" Rose asked.(a.n. Keep in mind that Bella already knows her story. I didn't feel like typing it.)
To say I was shocked was an understatement. I never got along with Rosalie, but she feels the need to help me?
"I don't want to and that's that," I lied.
"THAT'S BULL and you KNOW IT!" She yelled. She took a deep breathe and collected herself. Rosalie was scaring me a little bit. I had learned a long time ago.
"Why won't you press charges, Bella?" This time she was calm. I wondered if I should tell her. I sighed. "Bella... you know my story. We're alike." That drew me over the edge.
"No! We're not the same Rosalie! You were rich and weren't daily abused. You didn't have children and they didn't get yelled at. You weren't trapped in a marriage where if you tried to get out... you would die or worse... your babies got taken a-away. You wouldn't be scared if the next time, he goes too far and your babies are left with him. Scared to death that if something you, as time passes..he might do the same to your children," As soon as I thought about what could ever happen to my babies, I was sobbing. I could barely finish comparing the life styles. " So no, we're not the same."
I felt Rose's mouth open to say something. She stopped. Then she did something unexpected to me. She held me in her arms and let me soak her shirt with tears. She rocked me back and forth saying words that I couldn't even understand. I was to out of it. I finally got it together. She handed me a tissue.
"Now that we got the comparisons and stuff out of the way...why don't you want to press charges?" she continued.
"I'm sorry. I was rude and wrong. I apologize," I said when I realized that I had brought up the fact that Rosalie could never have children.
"It's fine,"she said.
"He would find me and the children. He knows people and judges and lawyers and can get his way easy. I've known him long enough to know that he's rich. Money and power can get him out of any tough situation. This wouldn't be a problem for him." I explained.
She looked shocked momentarily.
"Bella, I know I haven't been the nicest person in the world to you, but I would like to start over. You know. Be friends." Rosalie said. I was shocked but quickly responded with a nod of my head.
"I'd like that very much Rosalie," I smiled when she smiled at me.
"Well, since we're friends now, I think I should tell you something important. I won't let that bastard touch you ever again. And please believe me when I say that he'll never take your children," She looked deep into my eyes and I could tell she meant it. I nodded.
"as for him having connections, power, and money, we have that too." she said. "You can't go back there and stay. I insist upon you staying there. No one will mind," Rose said.
"No one?" I asked, remembering Edward. She briefly looked guilty.
"No one,?" she repeated. I nodded.
If you guys haven't figured it out yet, I did some deleting of chapters and I put all of the chapter 4 parts together. I guess I can edit the story later as well.
