Chapter 5

"Bella, wake up. Charlie found your phone. The memory card was salvageable so he had a lab tech check it out." Alice said as I was coming to. I waited for the news and yet dreaded it at the same time.

"I didn't get him did I? I said as the feeling of defeat over took me and I started crying again. Only he and I know and no one else would believe me.

Actually Bella, you did. Honey I'm so sorry." she said as she held me in her arms. I could see an array of emotions colliding in her eyes: pain, sympathy, love, and anger. A lot of anger!

"Alice..." I started to say when I heard my mother's voice outside my door.

"Oh my God Bella! My poor baby. I'm here." she said as she rushed in and hugged me protectively to her, almost knocking Alice right of the bed.

"Mom." was all I got out when the tears took over again.

"Bella, honey. I'm here. Don't worry. I talked to Phil. I'm bringing you home as soon as they release you. I never should have let you come here. I am so sorry baby." she said with an edge of guilt on her voice.

Leave Forks? Leave Alice? I can't do that. I looked at Alice. She gently climbed off the bed and stood over in the corner out of my mom's way. I could see the hurt in her eyes now. She didn't want me to go. I don't want to go. I looked up at my mom.

"I can't. I can't leave Charlie. He needs me. I can't leave now. Mom I know you want me safe but Charlie will make sure I am. I can't go now." I can't leave Alice. I added in my mind.

"Oh Bella, are you sure? Do they know who did this to you? Have they caught him? Did you even see who it was?" she asked.

"I think I got a picture of him on my cell. Dad's checking into it now. Mom, I love you and Phil but I live here now. I can't run away. If I do, he wins. Right? I can't let him beat me. I've got friends here. Alice is my best friend." I told her.

"I know honey. I just want you safe. I want to know you'll be ok. No you can't let him win. I hope you got that picture. I hope your dad can get him before he does this again. He better be glad I wasn't the one that found you. He'd be a dead bastard." she said venomously.

I looked over to Alice. Her eyes mirrored my mom's last comment. I could tell she was furious too. She knew who it was. She knew where he was. She wanted to kill him herself.

"Mom, I'm getting tired and hungry. Is there any way you could get me something from the cafeteria, the food up here sucks. Please?" I hope she didn't hear the eagerness in my voice.

"Yeah, sure. I'll be back in a few minutes." she said as she rushed out the door. I looked over at Alice.

"Bella, I'm so sorry sweetie." she said as she rushed back over to my bedside. She wrapped her arms around me just as protectively as my mother had a few minutes ago, and yet I felt safer in Alice's than my own mother's.

"Just don't leave me." was all I could say.

"I'm not going anywhere Bells."

"Did my father go after him? I mean does he know who it is now?" I asked softly.

"He knows. He sent a patrolman to find him. He figures if he does, he'll kill him himself."

"Sounds like Charlie." I heard my mom say as she came back into the room. "So Charlie knows who raped our daughter? I hope the guy rots." again with the venomous voice. She handed me a salad and fruit juice. I could really use a big burger about now. Oh well. I sat up and opened my salad and ate it in silence. After I finished it and my juice I looked up at my mom and thanked her. Then I lay back down and curled up in a ball and went to sleep for, the first time since it happened.

This time I actually slept without the same nightmare. Instead I dreamt of Alice. She's been so caring and protective of me and I only wished that I could tell her what I wanted to at the mall. I want to, but why should I now? Like he said, no one's going to want me now. I'm broken and used. My first sexual encounter and it had to be a rape by my best friend's brother. My crush's brother.
