BPOV

I must have fallen asleep crying because I woke up with the bright sun hitting my eyes. It must almost be twilight because the sun was hitting the wrong way. My stomach grumbled loudly and I decided to go down to the kitchen and make myself something to eat, being pregnant was really working up my appetite. I walked down the stairs slowly heading toward the kitchen when I heard voices coming from the dining room. I quietly tiptoed toward the dining room. When I was close enough I realized they were talking about me. It seemed like the whole family was there.

"We have to do something Carlisle we can't just let them get way with what they did to Bella" Edwards's words came out rushed and his voice was strained.

"I know we have to do something but we can't do anything if Bella doesn't want us to"

"We have to respect her wishes Edward" Esme's motherly voice spoke.

"I know we do but she doesn't want to because she's scared about having to tell people about what happened to her" I thought about what Edward had just said and realized he was right. I would never go to the police because one my dad was chief of police and he probably wouldn't do anything for me and two it would be just plain embarrassing telling someone about what happened to me.

I didn't want to listen to any more of what they had to say so I started backing up but with my clumsy feet I tripped and knocked down a flower base and then fell but as I tried to catch myself I felt the glass cut into my arm. I started to smell the blood and my head started spinning and I had nausea.

"Bella" Edward anxious voice was right by me now I didn't even realize when he got here.

"I'm sorry Esme, I broke your pretty base."

"Don't worry about it Bella, are u ok?"

"No, I think I'm bleeding."

Edward lifted my up from the floor and sat on the couch with me on his lap while Carlisle examined my arm. I felt him poke around my arm and winced from the pain that shot up my arm every time he touched a sensitive spot.

"Edward." I had to apologize for spying on their conversation

"Yes, love?"

"I'm sorry for spying on you guys."

"It's ok Bella, it was something I was planning on talking to you about anyways."

"I don't want to do it Edward. I don't want to go to the police, please don't make me." I looked up at him with new tears in my eyes that I was trying to keep in.

"Bella you have to, please they have to pay for what they did to you."

"But I can't….please….I….can't."

"Bella I'll be with you the whole time I won't leave you."

"You promise?"

"Of course, sweetie."

"But, Charlie is Chief of police, he probably won't do anything."

"We're not going to Charlie, Carlisle has some friends in the police department in Seattle and there coming down tomorrow to take your statement."

"Tomorrow? That's to soon, I'm not ready…." I couldn't breathe, my vision was blurry, I was dizzy, everything was spinning.

"Bella breath calm down you can do this and I'll be with you." I hadn't even noticed Carlisle was finished with my arm until Edward put his arms around me and held me tightly to him. "Everything will be ok."

The rest of the evening went by calmly. Edward made me a steak dinner and to say it was good was understatement, it was the best stake I've ever had. We spent the afternoon playing video games. I watched as Emmett got excited about playing the games, how he went from being a grown up to being a kid and wishing I could do that. He seemed so carefree and that's something I want, to be a carefree person again. I had so much just watching how any little thing would bring up a bet with Emmett, like when Edward beat him while playing baseball on the Wii and Emmett said that he wasn't paying attention and that if he tried he could beat Edward with his eyes closed, well that ended badly, let's just say Esme lost another one of her bases.

When it was time to go to bed I took a shower and slipped on one of Edwards t-shirts and went to lay in my bed. I still felt bad that I couldn't sleep with Edward but I know that if I woke up hitting him again it would hurt him more and not just physically but emotionally and I didn't want to make him as messed up as I was. When Edward came in the room, I said goodnight to him and fell asleep.

It was really early when someone started shaking me. The sun wasn't even out and the person was a little too happy for the time it was, so of course I knew it was Alice I tried to ignore the shaking and go back to sleep but it was impossible.

"Bella wake up."

"I don't want to."

"We could do this the easy way or the hard way."

"What's the easy way?"

"You come with me walking"

"The hard way"

"I pull you out of bed, drag you to my room, and what I was going to do to you will be 10 times worst"

"Ok, ok fine I'll do it the easy way" I managed to open my eyes to see Alice's face in front of mine with a huge smile on her face. "So what exactly are you going to do to me Alice?"

"I'm going to fix you up for school."

"No Alice, I don't want you to play Bella Barbie with my today."

"You should be pretty today. I'm not saying that you're not pretty but you should do something special today."

"Why?"

"Because your new life starts today and don't you want to look pretty today?"

"What do you mean my new life?"

"Yeah Bella, new life because you're going to speak about what happened to you and put the guys that did this to you away and you're going to start a new life with no more fears, with Edward, your baby, and us as your new family."

"It's true I'm starting a new life."

"Yup." she popped the p

"Ok, fine you can dress me up, BUT just today."

"Ok, ok thank you Bella." she started jumping up and down and hugged me in a hug that took my breath away.

"I…Can't…breath… Alice."

"Oh, sorry lets go."

She pulled me into her bathroom and I was suddenly scared, the counter was filled with beauty products, along with a strainer, and a curling iron that were each plugged in to each of the connections. I sat in the chair in front of the mirror and Alice got started on my make-up. She used a little bit of concealer, the she put skin colored eye shadow, she also outlined my eyes with black eyeliner, and curled my eyelashes. Then she used some red lip-gloss that made my lips look bigger. When she finished with my make-up, she went on with my hair. She first started by straining the bottom part of my hair, then the top part she curled, adding little girl gel on it, the one that has sparkles on it, but ok whatever. She knows what she's doing. It was around 7 when she finally finished with my make-up and hair. She then took me to her room where on her bed she had laid out an outfit.

"Put that on." I looked at the outfit and shook my head.

"No Alice, everybody already thinks I'm a whore so what are they going to think if I go to school dressed in that?" I pointed to the outfit with a look of disgust on my face.

"No Bella, if you go to school dressed in that people are going to see that you not affected by what happen to you, that you're going to go on for you and that baby and that you're not going to give up no matter what."

"Ok." Alice was really good with the speech thing, she knew exactly how to make you feel better and how to make you do what she wanted.

I slipped in to the maternity jean shorts that were too short to be for someone who's pregnant. There was a white spaghetti strap shirt and on top of that a yellow V-neck shirt with beads all along the V. It was tight at my boobs, not to loose along my stomach, but loose enough that you didn't notice my baby bump. She left some sandals, white strappy sandals for me. I guess this explained why she insisted last night on painting my finger nails and toe nails yellow before I went to bed.

When I was all dressed, Alice came into the room all ready for school herself. She was wearing a denim dress that was tight at the top and the skirt was like a bubble at the waist. She wore a belt, she had some small earrings on, and a heart shape necklace. She also wore some strappy sandals except hers were silver. She had with her another small heart shaped necklace that she put around my neck then she put on me the same kind of earrings as hers and a heart shape ring that was also like hers.

"What's this Alice?"

"You need jewelry to go with your outfit Bella."

"But they're exactly the same as yours."

"That's because we're sisters now. Sisters wear the same things don't they?"

"Yeah, but…"

"But nothing, Bella you're my sister now and forever no matter what happens. It doesn't even matter if YOU don't want to be my sister because I do, you'll always be, you can't get away from me."

"I'll always want to be your sister, Alice."

"Well then good, we're on the same page. Now come on you have to eat something before we go to school."

She grabbed my hand and pulled me a long with her. When we came into the kitchen Rosalie was already there making breakfast for everyone along with Esme. When I looked at Rosalie, I noticed that she was wearing the same necklace, ring and earrings as me and Alice. I helped setting the table and bringing the food out. The first one at the table was Emmett, then Jasper, and lastly Edward who looked like a Greek god like always, although he was just wearing some khaki pants with a white t-shirt and his white converse. We ate quickly and left the house with 20 minutes to get to school after having a 10 minute argument with Alice which she won so we ended up driving in two separate cars the girls car and the boys car as Alice put it she wanted to make a movie entrance were the hot chicks of the school arrived and everybody looked at them and she said that wouldn't work if we rode with the boys. They could probably pass as the hot school chicks, but I was ugly and on top of that I was pregnant, how was that hot. Well I didn't mind being pregnant. I already loved my little baby, even if it was a product of my rape, it wasn't his fault.

We arrived at school with ten minutes to spare and guess what everything Alice described happened. Everyone was arriving at school and when we came into the parking lot everyone turned to look first at Alice's glossy yellow Porsche and then when we got out at us. Everyone stopped and stared. We got lots of "oh baby come fuck me" or "you want to go out with me and have fun" and lots and I mean lots of whistles. I was red as tomato although I knew they weren't for me. Edward had his arms around me as soon as I was close enough to him. His arms were around me as if to protect me from everyone. He walked me to my first class the only one where no one of them was in. When he walked away I took two deep breaths and walked in the room without looking up. When I walked in everyone stopped talking and I could feel everyone's eyes on me. I got some "hey hot stuff" and some whistles but one that made me look up was one from a voice I recognized.

"Hey, I have a big present for you in my pants." I looked up to see a huge smile on his face I could feel the tears well up in my eyes but I held them in.

I walked to the back of the room and took my seat when suddenly heard the chair beside me being pulled out. My heart started to speed up. Was it possible that he would do something to me in front of everyone in the class room? But when I heard the voice I was surprised, I never thought she would speak to me again.

"Bella." I looked and saw Angela her face was torn between worry and anguish.

"What?" my voice came out with more acid than I meant for there to be in it. She flinched back from me but then composed herself and spoke.

"I wanted to say I'm so sorry, I know that everything you're going through is my fault."

"Yeah it is, anything else you want to say?" This time I let all the hatred slip into my words. This time she didn't flinch but tears welled up in her eyes until they spilled over.

"I'm so sorry, I never meant for any of that to happen to you."

"Well it did."

"When I saw that you were going to go out with Edward, the guy I loved since I was in elementary school, the one with who I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, who I dreamed about night and day. I wanted you dead. I wanted you to be in pain so you could feel what I felt. I told Mike and Jessica about it. They saw how I wouldn't stop crying how all I wanted to do was die. Mike, who has always been like a brother to me, promised me you were going to suffer. At the moment I just said yes please make her suffer, but I never thought he would do that to you. Then yesterday when Tanya said you were pregnant and you got up and told everyone you'd been raped, I saw everything clearly, how with my hatred for you and my "suppose" love for Edward had hurt you. I can think clearly now that I found my true love, a person who actually loves me for me. I hope someday we can be friends again."

I could feel tears in my own eyes tears of hate and tears of forgiveness. Everything she said touched me and from her perspective I understood her, but from mine I hated her even more. If it would have been the other way around I wouldn't have wanted to hurt her. I would have wanted her to be happy and she wished death for me.

"Maybe with time Angela we can be friends but not right now. Not when everything is so recent. Sorry."

"I understand Bella, take your time." She got up slowly and walked back to her seat.

The teacher never came in the classroom which just gave me more time to think about everything. At the end I came to the resolve that me and Angela could never be friends again. She had caused my life to go from bad to worst. When I came out of class Edward, Emmett, Jasper, Alice, and Rosalie were all waiting for me at the door.

"What's everyone doing here?"

"Bella, Carlisle called and he said the cops are waiting for us at the house so we have to go."

"What? No they were supposed to be here after school. It's to early, I can't Edward, it's too early."

"Bella, I'll be with you, remember I promised." he wrapped his arms around me and whispered in my ear "I love you and I won't ever let anything happen to you."

We walked back and got in the cars. Alice tried calming me by putting music on, but it didn't work.

"Common I know your scared Bella, but you can't let that affect you."

"I'm trying Alice, but I can't help it, I don't want to go through everything again."

"Bella this is the end of the road your new life starts now this is the last time you'll have to go through it" she looked me right in the eyes and something I saw gave me the strength.

We got home and there was two cops sitting in the living room, a female, she was tall, thin, her hair was shoulder length, she was to pretty to be a cop, and the man was tall as well and thin and he had blue eyes. I would have drooled if I hadn't already met Edward. He was beyond more beautiful than this man. Edward and I took a seat on the love seat while everyone else left upstairs leaving us alone with the cops.

"Isabella Swan."

"Just Bella."

"Ok, Bella I'm detective Olivia and he's detective John."

"Nice to meet you."

"I understand you want to press charges against some of your classmates."

"Yes I do." that's when I noticed there was a tape recorder on the table recording everything I said.

"Why?" It was detective John who spoke now.

"Because I was…..raped by them."

"And you're sure it was your classmates?"

"Yes I am."

"Can you tell us about it?"

"Yes," I let out one shaky breath and started my story the one that would bring back my nightmares again.

"It was during my biology class, the teacher was out sick so we had a free period. Edward was out of town and I didn't have any other friends so I was sitting by myself on some benches reading a book, when suddenly….." I stopped to take in a deep breath and tears started pouring out my eyes and I started shaking. Edward wrapped his arms protectively around me and I kept telling my story. "Someone covered my eyes and ducked taped my mouth, then they carried me to the forest by the school and dropped me on the cold, hard ground. They removed the cloth from my eyes and the tape from my mouth. The only ones I recognized were Mike Newton and Eric Yorkie. Mike was the first one to speak, he said that I was a whore, a slut and that I was going to get what I deserved." I stopped because I was crying so much my voice wasn't even clear anymore. "Then Mike was on top of me kissing me and ripping off my clothes and when he finished Eric came on top of me and then each and every one of his friends until they all finished. Then they left me there, lying naked on the floor. I thought I was going to die. I wanted to die after what they did to me. But then Edward found me and brought me home."

"How many were there Bella?" Detective Olivia asked.

"Seven."

"And you only recognized two of them?"

"Yes."

"Did they ever try to get to you again?"

"Yes they got to me again four more times after that."

"The same ones?"

"Yes."

"Ok Bella that's all we wanted to know and with this we'll be able to arrest them and take them to trial."

"Thank you."

"This is our job Bella. I'm glad you decided to calls. Not many rape victims have the courage to do it. We'll keep in touch with you for any news. "

Edward and I walked them to the door and when they left Edward hugged me.

"I'm so proud of you."

"I know Edward, I am too."

Everyone came down to the living room then and hugged me. They told me how proud of me they were. We spent the rest of the day watching movies and playing video games like a family….My family. I belong now, I could see that, and this was a huge step I took, and as Alice had said I was ready to start my new life.

OK SO WHAT DO YOU THINK? I'M ACTUALY REALLY PROUD OF THIS CHAPTER AND I HOPE IT WAS WORTH THE LONG WAIT FOR IT. I'LL TRY UPDATING SOONER NOW.
