AN: Sorry… I didn't forget I just haven't had time. I don't remember where I had this story going so I'm trying to improvise. Hope you guys like. Oh hope you don't mind but I am changing it to M just to be safe. Also I'm not sure how many more chapters this will be, we will see.

Disclaimer: I don't own twilight. *Edward sits down beside me* it's only because I've been gone for so long :P.

Confessions CH.5

I woke up this morning with a pounding headache and holding onto Edward. I opened my eyes to look at him. I gave him a hug and didn't want to let go. It didn't hit me till now but I loved him. Edward hugged me back and kissed me on top of my head. My eyes were dry from all of the crying I had done. I really didn't want to move from this spot but I had too. I had school to go to. "Alice left you some aspirin and water on the table. She knew you would need it." He gave me a soft smile. "How are you feeling?"

I stretched a little, "A little sore but the headache drowns that out." I gave him a weak smile. He reached across me and grabbed the medicine and water.

"Here take this and it should be gone in 10 min." he handed me the meds. I took them like he said.

"Do we have to go to school today?" I was kind of hoping we could just stay here all day.

He gave me a sad smile. "We don't want people to get suspicious and you still have an hour before you have to get ready so you can go back to sleep."

"Can we just lay here and talk? It might help." I was trying to drag this moment on before I knew Alice would try to steal me to play Barbie. He smiled so I took it as a yes. "So what is everyone doing in the house?" I was trying to find something random to talk about.

He chuckled at my attempt to distract myself and said, "Everyone is downstairs waiting to hear from you. They are all ready to go when you are." I sighed a little. I didn't really want to face this all yet. He started humming this lullaby and I fell asleep again. The next time I woke up Edward was still laying there. He smiled down at me and said, "It's time to get ready." I groaned and he laughed at me. He picked me up out of bed and set me down in the bathroom.

I got ready for school and Alice did her usual Barbie but this time she had to cover up a deep purple bruise around my eye and on my shoulder. I got into Edward's car while everyone piled into roses car.

When we got to school mike was waiting up at the front door searching for someone. I sighed. I didn't want to face him after last night. I turned to Edward and I know he saw him. He had a look of murder in his eyes. I put my hand over his and I felt a shock wave go through me. "Edward calm down. All we have to do is ignore him. We will get revenge later." With that his face smoothed and he visibly relaxed. But his eyes were like daggars.

As we headed into school mike tried to approach Edward and me. Edward gave him a death glare and he stepped away. Then he growled toward mike, "Don't ever touch her again." And with that we went to first period.

After that incident this morning all of my classes went smoothly. When it came time for lunch I sat with my family again this time beside Edward and Emmett. Mike wouldn't dare come near me them around. It was all going good until Alice stopped talking and had this blank stare on her face. Then she and Edward stare at me with this weird expression of sadness. "What?" I said confused.

"Bella… I think we need to talk." Edward said calmly with a look of concern on his face. "Alice saw you fighting with mike about something that had happened in the past and I just want to know… did he beat you?" I had a look of shock on my face. They weren't supposed to know that. I always played the scar off as a birth mark when any one saw it. When we and mike went out I thought we had a good relationship but he did hit me when he got mad or was drunk. One time he pushed me through a glass window and on my side there was a big gash from the glass. I went to the hospital and said I tripped. I had kept it a secret. Now it was just a faded scar. I looked at Edward and raised the bottom of my shirt just enough for him to see a small part of the scar. He looked furious.

"It was a long time ago Edward. He had apologized for it." I said trying to hold him down but I knew it was no use. "Edward like I said we will get back at him later." I looked at everyone with pleading eyes but they were also mad. "Jasper please."

"Bella he hurt you and you still went out with him." Edward was enraged. His eyes were black as coal. "Why didn't you tell us earlier?" everyone at our table was trying to look normal but they all had concern in their eyes. Suddenly Edwards eye softened and he looked like he was about to cry. "You could have gotten yourself killed." I looked down. I was ashamed that I didn't tell them but I didn't want to tell them that I thought a normal relationship came with abuse. I have pretty much been treated like trash my whole life and I didn't expect it to change when I was with mike. Edward put his hand over the scar. "No one will ever hurt you like that ever again." I really hoped he was right.

We all went to our respective classes and when it came time for my gym period Alice's vision came true. Mike approached me as I entered the gym. I had nothing but hate toward him. As I walked past he asked, "How did you get home last night?" I can't believe he is acting like he cares.

"That is none of your business. Go away mike." As I tried walking away but he grabbed my wrist with force.

"Don't just walk away from me." he raised his hand to hit me but before he could I started to speak.

"Do it mike because even if you don't leave a mark this time you will have to deal with the consequences." Then he smacked me across the cheek.

"That was for threatening me. Your little Eddie boy can't protect you now. Plus no one saw it so you can't prove it was me." He turned to walk away, "and that scar could be from anything. Don't back talk me again, you piece of trash." I couldn't believe he did that. I just started to cry. I crumpled to the floor of the hallway we were at. No one was there and he was right. No one would believe me except my family.

All of a sudden Edward was picking me up off the ground and walking me out the door of the school to his car. I sobbed into his shirt all the way there. As always he was my angel that saved me. We didn't speak he just held me and let me cry. He set me down into his car and got into the passenger side. I continued to cry and I didn't care where he took us as long as it was far away from mike. When the car stopped he took me into is arms again and he started to run. It was like I was 9 again.

When we got to the destination he sat down and rocked me back and forth. He put his ice cold hand to my face, keeping it cold but caressing it at the same time. Finally he broke the silence, "Bella please don't cry I have you." I started taking deep breaths and slowing my heart down. My tears started to slow and my head stopped rushing. "Don't worry I will never let you go." That is all he had to say to make me have all the hope in the world planted in his hands. I knew that he couldn't have stopped mikes last minute decision to hit me I was just glad he was there after it. My face was finally starting to feel a whole lot better from his coldness. Edward has cared for me like no other.

I had finally stopped crying and I looked up at him. He looked worried and concerned. His eyes were black still and I knew he was thirsty. I smoothed out the dark rims under his eyes. "You're thirsty." I wasn't really a question but a statement. He looked at me and nodded. "I'm making this difficult for you, I'm sorry." I tried to move but it was to no avail. He held me still.

"I just want to sit here and talk. I want to make sure your ok." He was hurting but he was still more worried about me.

"I want to stay here and talk to but Edward I'm worried about you. Will you at least let me sit on the ground?" he looked reluctant but he sat me down but held both of my hands in his marble, cold hands. "Thank you for just taking me away from there. I just can't believe he just hit me." I stated still in a little bit of shock. "Edward what did I do to deserve all of this?" I looked up at him with tear filled eyes.

He cupped my face in his hands. "Bella you shouldn't of had any of this done to you. He should have been worshiping the ground you walked on because he was lucky enough to go out with someone so caring, beautiful, and loving. He will get taken care of Bella. I will not let this happen again." He dropped his hands to his lap. "It hurt me to not come and stop him. Alice didn't see it to the last second and I wouldn't have been able to make it in time without someone noticing. Bella I am so sorry I let you down."

I put my finger over his lips. It sent a shiver down my spine. "Edward you did not let me down. I understand, don't worry its ok. This is nothing compared to last night, you were there before he did something worse. He has tried to do worse before." I sighed. "Edward when he gave me this scar…" I raised my shirt to wear he could see how the scar wrapped around my right side torso. "It was because he was trying to rape me." I put my shirt back down. "I didn't want to and I tried to fight back but he ended up pushing me out of his window. Luckily it was only one story." I looked down, ashamed I didn't tell him earlier.

He lifted my head up to look him in the eyes. "I'm sorry Bella. I should have had Alice looking for you." He leaned in closer and I felt my breathing stop. "I promise that now we are here, to be with you forever, that this will never happen ever again." He leaned away but my heart felt like it just had lightning strike it with all the electric current going through me. I started breathing again.

"I know you will Edward. You're my angel, you have always saved me." I looked at him and smiled. He grabbed my hands again and nodded.

We laid back into the grass and he pulled me up beside of him. I fell asleep while he kept the swelling down on my eye and cheek. Every now and then I would hear him hum that vaguely familiar song he always hums and mumble something about being sorry.
