Chapter 4
I woke up screaming. Alice collected me in her arms and rocked with me. She held me so close to her that I could feel her heart beating through my skin. All those times I dreamt of being this close to her and it took me being raped for it to happen. I held her. I was shaking in her arms and she just held on tighter. After I calmed down a bit, she reached over and hit the call button. The same nurse that had done my exam came in.
"Is there something I can get for you Miss Swan?" she asked nicely.
"Can you ask my father if he can give her something to help her sleep. She's exhausted but she can't sleep without reliving it. Please?" Alice asked her.
"I'll see what he can prescribe. I'll be right back. Is there anything you need Miss Cullen?" she added.
"No, I'm fine. Thank you." Alice said.
The nurse left and Alice just held me. I started to cry. I never thought I'd feel this vulnerable ever. Alice just held me.
The nurse came back with a little cup and some water.
"Dr. Cullen said that this should help. He also said to remind you that your father was out in the waiting room. Do you want to see him before you fall asleep?" she said as she handed me the little cup. I took the medicine and drank the water and nodded. She took both cups with her and left my room.
A few minutes later my father came into my room. He walked over to me and I could tell he wanted to hug me. I could also tell he knew not too. He nodded to Alice and sat down in the chair next to my bed.
"I called your mom. She's on the next flight here and should be here in an hour or so. She was so worried. I told her that Alice found you and that she hasn't left your side. Which to be honest I'm happy for. Thank you so much Alice."
"Not even a problem. Do you want me to leave so you two can talk? Or is it ok if I stay?"
"I don't think my opinion would matter dear, I think Bella would kill me if I asked you to leave at this time. She needs you. Bella, honey, is there anything you need from me? I don't want to stress you out or make the situation worse but is there anything you can tell me about whomever it was that did this to you?"
Leave it to Charlie to be a cop first and a father second. I wanted to tell him. I wanted to tell Alice. I wanted to tell everyone who it was that raped me. But I was actually afraid. I shook my head no. He nodded and just sat there quietly.
"Bella, is there anything from home you need? I have to run there before my next shift and get cleaned up. Is there anything you want me to bring you? Any books, clothes, your cell phone, anything?"
"My cell. He stepped on it. It's behind my door. I tried to get a picture of him. He threw it across the room and then before he left he stepped on it." I said looking at Alice. She felt how excited about that I got. She looked over at my dad. He got up and was out the door before I could say anything else.
"I don't know how well the picture will come out. I might as well tell you who did this just in case Charlie finds my phone and can get the image off of it. If not, you can tell him who it was. Please for me." I took a deep breath and let it out slowly. I looked into Alice's eyes and I could see the pain in them. My being hurt was hurting her. If I told her who my attacker was would that only make her angry? I had to take the chance. I needed to tell someone.
"Edward..." I started to say when I heard someone coming up to my room.
Just then my attacker made himself visible.
"Alice, Jasper said he needed you and made me come here to get you. He was very insistent. Wouldn't tell me why either. I can keep her company while you're away. She'll be ok." he rambled off.
Alice looked at me. I tried to tell her with my eyes that I didn't want to be alone with him. I tried to tell her with my eyes that he's my attacker. I tried to tell her.
"I can't right now Edward. Tell Jasper he's just going to have to wait or deal with whatever it is on his own. I am not leaving her alone. She's scared and if I was in her place I wouldn't want to be alone with any guy. No offence Edward."
"Hey, I'm just the messenger. No problem. Hey Bella, I'll see you around." he said smugly.
He got up and walked out of my room. When he left, I let the breath I had been holding go. I know Alice felt me relax in her arms again. I wanted to tell her that he did it. I wanted to, but the medicine they gave me was kicking my ass and I felt myself falling asleep. It would have to wait. Hopefully I got a good picture of him on my cell phone and Charlie can use it to catch him. As my eyes closed the last thing I saw before I was out was Alice's beautiful face. An image I never wanted to lose. I snuggled into her and fell asleep. I slept without any nightmares. I slept in Alice's arms.
