A.N. Hope you guys liked the previous chapter. I'm going to try and update now twice a week instead of updating randomly. Xx

Chapter 6

Em. POV

I couldn't believe we sat at my old friends table. I had missed them so much. I didn't understand why they didn't recognise Bells, but then again she had changed a lot. When we had all gathered I started the conversation. "So, what has been going on while me and my sis have been away?"

"Well, what hasn't Edward done?" Bella sneered

"Excuse me?" he said as surprised as I was.

"Oh, I've done my research alright. Don't worry, I already know that you're the man whore of the school, and does anything with boobs. You go out with Tanya but you both cheat on each other and bully a poor little girl in the year below, just like you did with me. But this time I'm not going to take shit from any of you." She shouted at Eddie. "Em, I'm sorry for disrupting your lunch and I'll send somebody with your car." She kissed my cheek then stormed out of the cafeteria, leaving us all shocked.

Rosalie was the first to break the silence. "Well that was all very dramatic. I bet she only did it to-" she started to say before I cut her off.

"Why did she say that you were bullying that little girl just like you did to her? I mean, I know that she was bullied before we left but she never told me who it was…" and then suddenly everything clicked into place. "It was you who bullied her, wasn't it?" I shouted at them. " You're the ones who made sure she cried herself to sleep every night?" The looks on their faces said it all.

"When had she ever done anything mean or nasty to anyone? She is never angry or violent and the only time I have seen her shout in the past 5 years was just now at all of you! Rosalie and Edward I know you guys always loved a joke but would you really take it that far? Jasper, you're Rosalie's brother, so maybe it runs in the family. But Alice? I would never expect this from you. " I said coldly.

"Emmy, I am so sorry. I only did it because I thought that Japer wouldn't like me anymore if I didn't hang out with his sister, and I hated leaving her like that. I really want to apologise to her if that's alright and I'm sorry for letting it go on for so long." Alice spoke and she was on the verge of tears.

I could tell that she was being 100% honest so I accepted her apology. "Ally, I can tell that you're sorry. You should come by later and talk to Bella. She should have calmed down by now." I told her and she let out a small smile.

"Emmett, I wanna tell you sorry too, man. What we did to Bella was disgraceful, but I want you to know, I never hit her or anything like that. I couldn't do that to any girl, no matter what they looked like or what they had done, and the worse thing is that Bella hadn't done anything wrong. I am so sorry man." He said while looking at the floor the whole time I knew I couldn't stay mad at him either, so I gave him a nod that he knew meant 'its ok'. Then it struck me. Why were they apologizing to me? It's not like they bullied me.

"What about you Eddie?" I hissed. "You have stayed pretty quiet. Do you not regret it or something? Was it enjoyable for you? Seeing a girl in pain?" I hissed again, but Edward didn't answer.

"Emmett, I am going to be completely honest. At the time I loved it, seeing the fear I her eyes when she saw me boost my already high self confidence but then after an event that happened to me 5 months after you left, I realised how horrible Bella must have felt. Do you remember me always saying how I wanted to be a model?" Rosalie asked and I nodded. "Well, I got a photo shoot and everything was great. When I was walking out I had to walk to the nearest bus station as my parents were working, and this shoot was in Seattle. Any way, my photographer was about 27 and to be honest, really handsome, told me he would give me a ride, which I stupidly accepted. To cut a long story short, I was brutally raped last night then thrown onto the streets. It took me months to return to myself but I still can't hug my father or any other males in my family the same way. Not even Jasper. I am so sorry Em, please forgive me." She said as the tears started to flow.

"Rosalie, I'm so sorry about what happened to you, it's just horrible. But you really need to talk to Bella about this. She is the one that you did this to." I said, starting sympathetically but then ending seriously.

"Ok," she whispered. "But not tonight with Alice. I need to apologise alone. She needs to understand me." She said stronger

"Emmett, I'm not going to give you a thousand apology essay," Edwards started "But I'm really sorry for doing this to your sister, and then lying to you when you asked if we knew who had done it. What she said earlier was true though, every bit, apart about the bullying a younger girl. When I realised that because of me and my friends a girl had moved state, me and Alice made a pact. If she ever saw me doing something like that again, we would move state and I guess you can see that we are still here. I really need to speak to Bella though. She needs know how much of a jerk I was then, and how I still am, but would like her help to kick me back into line." He spoke with sincerity, and I could see him beating himself up inside for what he had done.

"You're an asshole Edward, and I will only forgive you after you have talked with Bella. But I want us to be friends again. I want us all to be friends again." I said looking at them all and smiled. They smiled back but still with sorrow expressions. I noticed that the cafeteria was empty and looked at my watch. Shit! We missed fifth period and were now half way through sixth.

"Guys, there is only a lesson and a bit left of school so I'm going to head home and check on Bells. Alice do you wanna come round 'bout six?" I asked and she nodded.

"Cool. See you guys later." I said and ran out of the cafeteria, to see that my car had been dropped off already. It wasn't open but I knew where the keys would be. After unlocking my jeep, I hopped in and set off home.

When I got home I ran up into my room, not sure what else to do. I was supposed to be making them pay, not getting myself wired up. After pacing for about 30 minutes, I was still unsure what to do, so I decided to listen to some Clair de Lune, it always calms me down after a stressful day. After about 15 minutes with it on repeat I still wasn't calm so I decided to go for a run, thinking that might help. I changed into my running gear, left a note on the side for who ever came home first and set off, with my iPod in my ears.

I felt a lot better about half-way though my run as I found I could really put my anger into my strides and it felt good to put my leg muscles to use. I hadn't worked out in ages. My run was still going great but then being Forks it started to rain, and not just drizzle, it was pouring down in bucket loads.

"Great'" I muttered, turning around to run home. When I was about two miles away I heard a car beep me and turned to look and probably swear at it. I turned and saw a silver Volvo, the same one that was in the school parking lot earlier. One guess on who it belonged to.

"Bella!" He shouted at me as he stopped and put the window down. I glared at him before running off in the direction of my house.

"Bella! Please stop and get in before you get sick!" He pleaded

"Why do you care? Since when did I mean anything to you?" I screamed back at him through the rain.

"Please! I want to talk to you! I need to talk to you." He pleaded again with a look that almost looked heartbroken. What is that about? I thought

"Fine, Cullen. Only because I am starting to feel water in my shoes." I said coldly as I got in his car. It was really nice and warm. "I live a couple of miles up the road, on the left." I told him really wanting to get home to have a nice hot shower. The ride was filled with silence which was weird considering he said he wanted to talk, probably about what I screamed at him in the cafeteria earlier.

He pulled up at my house and shut off the car. "Thanks for the ride, but you didn't have to pick me up. I would have been home in 5 minutes anyway." He just nodded and just I was about to get out the car he spoke.

"I am so sorry, Bella. When you left, I realised what a monster I truly was. What we did was so unacceptable and I can't believe you never told anyone. I know I don't deserve it but I would really like the chance to be your friend?" He asked. My brain told me to tell him to f-off but my heart told me to say yes. Why was it doing that?

"I don't forgive you Edward, and I don't trust you either, but I would like to see if we could be friends." I told him with a small smile and saw him beam.

"That's enough for now," he said "And I will earn your trust." He said as a promise, more to himself than to me. I told him a quick thanks and hopped out of the car to walk up to my front door. I gave him a wave goodbye and unlocked my front door. I ran upstairs and showered while thinking about what had just happened.

It was 6:15 when Emmett shouted me down. He was stood at the bottom of our huge staircase with Alice Cullen. She had tears in her eyes.

"Hey Em. Hi Alice, what's wrong?" I asked her softly, even though I was confused to why she was here.

"You're asking me what's wrong? I came here to apologise. Bella I am so sorry…" she trailed off before starting to cry. I ran down the stairs to give her a hug.

"Alice please don't cry. I never blamed you or hated you. You just hung out with the wrong people. The same with Jasper really apart from he used to laugh when I tripped." I said pouting.

"You really don't hate me?" She asked still with tears in her eyes.

"No, course not." I looked up to find Em gone and decided that I maybe I could trust Alice.

"Hey, do you mind if I call you Allie?" I asked and she shook her head meaning I could. "Do you wanna come up to my room? My mom just sent me some new clothes from New York and I haven't gone through them yet. Do you want to come up and have a look at them with me?" I asked and she beamed. We ran upstairs and I could already tell that we would be great friends in the future.

A.N. Hope this makes up for the lack of writing. Thought that previous short bit was just a nice way to end this chapter. Should Bella trust Alice and will they be bezzie mates? Will Bella tell Alice her secret? Remember if any of you have ideas, put them in reviews or message me xx
