A/N you know I own nothing other than the characters that I am going to make (and I'm not sure if I'm going to make any or not). But anyway enjoy the story. To those that guessed correctly, congrats!.

Previously on Getting Away:

They turned to start walking. Before we could take another step, we heard 3 loud gasp.

"Bella Swan? Is that you?" a nasally voice said. I knew that voice. I looked up, my suspensions confirmed.

"What are you doing here?" I asked in a shaky voice.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Tanya and her minions Lauren and Jessica stood there, staring at me.

"We," Tanya said stressing the word we, "Are enrolled here. What's your pathetic excuse?" even though she was talking to me, her eyes were on Edward. It irritated me a little.

"I go here." I quietly stated.

"This year," she said slowly, "just got better." Lauren and Jessica laughed and the three of them walked away, still laughing.

"Bella," I didn't hear Edward come up behind me and jumped. I was about to fall. I closed my eyes and put my hands put, to try and catch myself. But I never hit the ground. Instead I felt an arm snake around my waist, keeping me from hitting the ground.

I looked up into Edward emerald green eyes and blushed. He just stared at me for a minute. I was confused. Why didn't he sit me up right? I started to move to try and set myself up. When he realized what I was doing, he blushed and helped me to stand correctly.

"Thanks" I said, blush still in place.

"Anytime." he answered.

I had forgotten about Alice and Jasper until Jasper coughed. I turn to them, my face getting redder. Alice glared at Jasper, then turned a blinding smile my way, before she winked and came over to me. She hooked her arm through mine and asked me the question I knew was coming.

"So Bella," she started, "who was that."

"Someone I knew from Forks." I said, hesitant to tell her the rest. I had just met them after all. She seemed to get that. We walked the rest of the was to a restaurant called La Bella Italia. it was a gorgeous restaurant that looked professional but also laid back. Emmett and who I assumed to be Rosalie was already there. When Emmett saw me, a huge grin spread across his face.

"Bella!" he bellowed out. "You came!" I stopped dead in my tracks. My face was beet red. I could feel a lot of eyes on me. The girl, Rosalie, was looking back and forth between Emmett and I, confused. He got up and wrapped his huge arms around me.

"Emmett!" I croaked out, starting to panic, "Cant breath!" he let me go. He must have seen the panic in my eyes because he apologized and actually looked sorry. I felt completely comfortable and safe around them, but I still wasn't to that level of trusting them. The last person I trusted took everything from me.

We all sat at the table, and Alice introduced Rosalie and I. I smiled shyly at her.

"Hey Bella. Nice to meet you." she said softly.

When we sat down, I couldn't help but stiffen up when someone rubbed against my back. When I stiffened up, recognition flashed in Rosalie's eyes. I forced by body to relax again, all the while, Rosalie was staring at me. I felt awkward under her gaze. Edward must have noticed, because he looked from her to me and back. Rosalie's eyes shifted to him, then dropped to the table. Luckily the waiter came with the menus.

Emmett got the 2 pound steak. Rosalie got a 3 ounce steak with a side of mashed potatoes. Jasper got a pound steak and a side of mashed potatoes. Alice just got ravioli. Edward got a pound of steak and a side of mashed potatoes, greens and macaroni. I just got the mushroom ravioli.

Dinner started out easy. There was a laid back atmosphere and easy laughs at the brainless things Emmett would say. It got harder when Rosalie went for a restroom break.

"Ladies," Rosalie said, "would you mind joining me in the restroom." I didn't mind at all. Alice was coming and after Edward, she was the one I felt most comfortable with. Not that I didn't feel comfortable with Rosalie.

Alice came in and chatted with us for a while, before she got a text. She said that Jasper had called her back out. After Alice left, Rosalie turned to me, her gaze intense.

"Bella," she started, "I know you really don't know me or much about me, but I want to tell you a little bit about my history. My family is very stuck to their ways. They do what their ancestors did. They still believed in arranged marriges.

They found another family that also believed in arranged marriages. They had a son, named Royce, that was my age. When I was in the 9th grade, I went out with him, just because my parents wanted me to. I thought everything was going fine. I thought he loved me.

I was saving my for marriage, but he was constantly pressuring me. I never told my parents because I knew they would take his side. One night, on my junior year, I went for a stroll. It was late, but we lived in a nice neighborhood. On my way back to the house, I saw Royce with a few of his friends. I decided to go to him to say hi.

I didn't notice until I was close enough to smell liquor, that they were drunk. Royce threw his arms around my shoulder and turned me to face his friends. He told them that I was his girl. Them he asked me to show them my body. He said I had an amazing body.

When I shook my head and tried to back away, he tightened his hold on me. He and his friends then repeatedly raped me. All could do was lay their and cry.

After they were done, they just left me there. It took me a long time to work up the strength to stand. Even longer to walk home.

When I got there, Jasper was the only one still away. I was scared of him. My own brother. My twin at that. And I was terrified of him. I wouldn't let him touch me. I tried to walk up stairs alone, and fell. I passed out. And when I woke up, I was clean and changed. I was in my be. Jasper was sitting down next to me, silent tears running down him face.

I told my parents what happened, but they just laughed. Said that it was my imagination playing tricks on me. I ran away after that. Jasper followed me. But first, he paid a little visit to Royce. Esme took us in with open arms. She didn't know us. We didn't know her but we needed some where to stay. We needed food.

We were planning on leaving the next day, but Esme always found a way to get us to stay. It wasn't long til we called that house home.

It took months for me to be comfortable around any of the boys, all except Emmett. He was the only one other than Alice and Esme I could talk to.

And after what my parents did, I didn't really trust Esme as much as I did Emmett and Alice."

After Rosalie was done with her story, I had silent tears running down my face. Rosalie had tears in her eyes, but refused to let them fall. it wasn't until I threw my arms around her, that I felt them spill on my shirt.

"I'm so sorry Rosalie." I whispered.

She pulled back and smiled at me. "Call me Rose. And you don't have to apologize. Though I regret the way it happened, it's what brought me to Emmett. And I love him with all my heart."

We washed our face and walked out the restroom, both with red eyes, both arm and arm.
