HAPPY NEW YEAR! I WISH YOU JUST THE BEST! I HOPE THIS YEAR WILL BE A GOOD ONE!

Yes I know I'm still alive! Thank you for your reviews and for sticking to this story although again it took me very long to update this. There will be only one chapter after this one. I promised I would finish this story. I just did the court scene like I thought it's not like it is in the USA but I hope you like it nevertheless. Most of this chapter is in EPOV part of it will also be in BPOV in the chapter so don't be disappointed.

ENJOY!

BPOV

Today was the big day. I would have to face Mike again. Just one last time. Or so I hoped. The last few weeks Edward has been by my side most of the time unless he had to hunt. He was perfect. And I once again wondered what I had done to deserve such an angel. The time he was away was like hell but I never let him see how much it bothered me because I knew he would stay although he needed to hunt. The rest of the time we would just watch a movie or go to our meadow to enjoy each others company.

I was very nervous. What if the judge believed that Mike didn't do anything wrong? What if he would be set free? He would come after me. No. This was impossible. Everythink stood against him. There was no chance for him to get away. But still...

I was getting ready for the court when I heard a knock at the door.

"Come in" I said. Slowly the door opened and there stood my personal angel the one who made me whole. He smiled at me and I instantly didn't feel as nervous as before.

"You ready?"

I sighed "As ready as I'll ever be." He nodded and walked over to me. Then he pulled me carfully into his arms and held me tight.

"You know our family and I will be by your side. Always. There is nothing to be nervous about. Everything will work out just right" Edward whispered in my ear. Like always he knew what bothered me. God I loved him so much.

"I know. Thank you. I love you" I looked up at him and managed to smile. I knew I would be able to get through this day as long as Edward was with me.

"I love you too. You'll never understand how much. Let's go."

EPOV

When we arrived at the court I put my arm around Bella's waist. I knew she was nervous. More than she would ever show or say. Who could blame her? She would have to face her rapist again. I took our seats in the front row. And slowly more and more people came.

Poor girl.

What a bitch. I bet she begged for it.

I can't believe it. Such a crime in our town. Finally some action!

Humans. I tried not to let their thoughts get to me. It was hard but then I thought about the fragile girl in my arms and I knew I had to stay calm for her. She would need me to be strong.

When Mike entered guarded by two police officers, Bella began to shake, her heart beat faster and her breath was ragged. I tightened my hold on her and whispered in her ear.

"He can't do anything. Your save. I will never let him touch you again. I promise." She nodded and relaxed a little bit but she was still very scared. I looked at Jasper. He understood at once and nodded. Then he send a wave of calm in Bella's direction. She smiled a little and whispered

"Thank you, Jasper."

"Anytime, little sis."

We watched the trial. Carlisle told everybody about Bella's injuries and Mrs. Newton declared that her son could never do something like this. The whole time Bella hid her head in my chest and I rubbed her back. I hoped that this trial would help her to cope with everything and to move on.

Then it was Bella's turn to say what happened. She looked up at me with panic in her eyes. I gave her a smile and whispered

"You can do it. It will all be over soon." She nodded and stood up with shaking legs and took her new seat in the front.

It killed me not to be able to hold her hand. I knew she must have been so scared.

With s dhsking voice Bella told how she was home alone and how Mike was at her door. The whole time she was staring hat her hands.

"Her pain is almost too much for me. I can't calm her. It's just too much." Jasper winced beside me.

I watched Bella as she stopped to regain control of her emotions. She took a deep breath and continued.

"He just came in. I couldn't do anything. Then he said he wanted to be my boyfriend and that he loved me. But I couldn't. I don't love him. He didn't accept that and then h-he forced himself on me. He undressed me and kissed me. It did it although I didn't want that I begged him to stop but he wouldn't. He was so strong." She stopped again and tried to wipe away her tears.

Edward stop holding on on that chair that tight or it'll break. Please try to stay calm

Alice. I realised the side of the chair I've been holding onto. I couldn't help it. I was so close to just break down. It was so, so unbelievable hard to watch the love of my existende in so much pain. I swore I would protect her. I failed. Here she was almost falling apart and there was nothing I could do. I could just be there for her and show her that I always will be. But that seemed not enough. No matter how badly I wanted to I couldn't take away her pain.

I also wanted to kill Mike so badly. Everytime I was reminded of what he did to Bella my hatred was stronger than before. I knew Bella didn't want him dead and I wouldn't fail her. She was way too good for a cruel world like this.

I looked up at Bella again and realized that she had continued. Tears were running freely down her cheek.

"…was on top of me. I tried to break free. He was just so strong. And then h-he… he … he took away my virginity. I cried and I begged but he never stopped. It hurt so much it was so humiliating. When he was finished he told me to never tell anybody or he would do it again."

"Oh come on. You and I we both know that you wanted it too." Mike shouted. "Don't act like the innocent little girl."

I was about to jump at him but Emmet and Jasper held me back. How dare he says something like that. He hurt her. He hurt her bad and now he just keeps going on.

Bella looked down at her hands and whispered

"I didn't"

"Of course you did. Your precious boyfriend breaks up and you can't help yourself and throw yourself at me. And now I'm the bad guy? I don't think so. You're one horny slut and you say those things because you are scared of how your returned boyfriend will think of you." Mike smiled obviously pleased with himself.

She won't ruin my life and when I'm out of here I'll come back for her. Who does she think she is?

"Shut your fucking mouth, Newton!" I shouted and stood up.

"Everybody in the audience stay quiet or you'll be removed. This is my first and last warning." The judge declared.

Emmet and Jasper pushed me back into my seat and my eyes met Bella's. I would never forget this look. I can't even begin to describe it. It was a lifeless, blank look and it would haunt me until the end of my existence. I could see it in her eyes. She was afraid that Mike wouldn't be punished. That he would come back for her. I wouldn't let one of those things happen.

"Mr. Newton." The judge began "Saying something like this is serious. What about her injuries? And her loosing her baby?"

Shit. I didn't think of that. Think Mikey. Think…

"The doctor… he is her boyfriend's father. The whole family is into this. They want it to look like I'm the bad guy just to save her reputation. I guess Eddi doesn't want a little slut…"

"Mr. Newton! Watch your language!" The judge interrupted and I was grateful or else I would have gotten my self in serious trouble for smashing his nose.

"What I'm saying is that they do everything to make this look like rape but you can't rape the willing. You know you wanted it Bella."

"I-I didn't… I never… I would never want anybody other than Edward. I wanted him to be my first. Y-you ruined everything!" Bella's voice was quiet and soft and it broke my heart.

"Please can I go back?" She asked and the judge agreed.

Bella stood up slowly and came back to your place. When she stood in front of me she put her arms around me and sat on my lap. I held her tightly. We sat like this until the end. Now it would be decided what would happen with that … thing.

The judge stood in the front and announced.

"Michael Mortimer Newton, you are sentenced to a life-long stay in prison."

Bella, I and the rest of our family relaxed. Finally he would be locked away and maybe Bella could finally move on.

"Bella, honey. Did you hear. He's gone. He'll never be able to touch you again." She nodded into my chest and cried.

"I'm just happy it's over"

My poor son. I don't believe he really did this. He would never. Why does this girl have to ruin my family?

I blocked all the thoughts that penetrated my mind and concentrated only on the angel in my arms.

"Come on honey. Let's go home." She nodded and we made our way back to our cars. On the way there we met Mike's parents.

"Why? Why did you have to spread these lies. Do you even understand what you did to this family? Do you? Everythings ruined. Mike is gone and everybody will hate us now. And it's just your fault." Mrs Newton shouted at Bella. I quickly let her away but not without a glare back at Mike's parents. How dare they blame Bella. I was worried of Bella. She was so quiet.

"You ok, love?" I asked. She nodded.

"Just take me home"

Our drive home was silent apart from Bella's sobs. When we got home she went to our room and locked the door. Something she never did before. I knocked.

"Let me in. Please." I begged

"Please I just need to be alone for a little bit."

"But-" I felt a hand on my shoulder. Carlisle.

"Let her be, son. So much has happened today. Just let her rest."

I nodded and sat down in front of the door I wanted to be there the second she needed me.

Thanks for reading. Tell me what you think about it. It was really hard to write this because I had no idea about court things.

I have another story. Check it out. And I have another story in mind but I'm not sure if I'll do it.

PLEASE REVIEW!
