A/N: I apreciate the reviews, and I didn't really want the last chapter… but I hadn't a clue how to write…. Well you'll see.

RPOV
The last thing I remember… other than pain and the memories flooding back… was Emmett. His voice. Then I passed out… blood everywhere. I tried to fight back, but dad was just to strong.
Emmett…. He probably got in… was he alright?!
My eyes flutter open and I see myself in a hospital room, Jasper to the right of me, with swollen eyes and a cut on his lips and below his eye. Emmett was to the left, his face a bit puffy, but nothing to bad, and he had a worried glint in his eyes.
"Rose." They whisper at the same time.
"Hey guys." I croak. My throat was on fire. Jasper, knowing what I was thinking, reached for a mirror.
I examined myself… I was a mess. My throat was all purple from bruises. And half my face was puffy and bruised.
I close my eyes and Emmett takes the mirror "How are you feeling."
"Been better." I mumble and eye them carefully "How are you guys?"
"We're fine." They say at the same time.
Then the door opens and Isabella and Alice comes in.
"Hi…" they say quietly.
"…Hi."
Isabella smiles "I'm Bella by the way… how are you?"
My face softens a bit "I'm Rose… which I'm guessing you know… and I'm ok."
Bella's smile widens "That's great!"
Just then the hospital door opens for the second time and in strolls… Edward.
I waited for that similar feeling of my heart pounding in my chest… but it was gone…
"Hey, Rose." Edward says the same glint that used to make me melt.
Used to? What?
"Hey Edward." I reply.
Is it… do I not like Edward? Did I ever really like Edward? Wait I know the answer to that. Yes I did… but not anymore. Not since I started talking to Emmett…. Not since last night… when he yelled out to me… when he made me feel safe.
"Are you doing alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine." I whisper. I was now… now that I knew… knew who I loved…. Who I wanted to be with forever.
"Good."
We all start some small talk., then the nurse comes in and kicks everyone out, but Jasper.
"Where's mum?" I mummer.
"She's out." Jasper says quietly "Discussing the trial with our lawyer."
I look at Jasper carefully "Jasper, what's wrong?"
"It's just…. It's just that I broke my promise…"
I look confused for a moment.. Then I remember. The promise. The promise he made after dad left the first time. The promise that he'd always protect me.
"Oh Jasper!" I exclaim "Don't be like that! It wasn't your fault!"
"But it was, Rose!" He says with pained eyes "I was suppose to protect you, but I failed!""Shut up, Jasper!" I groan "You protected me all these years. Even with the small little stuff you protected me!"
Jasper grows quiet. Then there is a knock on the door and Emmett enters. Jasper gets up to leave the two of us alone.
"Emmett." I whisper.
"Rose." he whispers back.
"Are you sure you're ok?" I ask him carefully.
He comes to sit in the chair closest to me "I'm fine as long as your fine…"
I smile softly "I'm fine as long as you're here. Emmett… I-I love you."
He grabs my hand and kisses it gently "You don't know how long I've been waiting to hear that."
BPOV (A/N: A shame…. That piece was real romantic… especially at 12AM)
I put on a brave face today… But as me and Edward loaded onto the Volvo (Alice staying behind to comfort Jasper) I broke into pieces. I felt so SORRY for Rosalie… she got worse than me….
Edward pulls me to his chest and starts stroking my hair "Shh. Don't cry."
"It's just so HARD Edward." I sniff "Seeing her in that hospital room… when something similar happen to me."
I think it's time, my dear. I think it is too…
I take my head off his chest "Edward? Do you want to know the whole story?"
Edward looks at me warily "Only if you're ready…"
I take a deep breath "It started when Renee met Paul. He was all nice and that, I mean he was genuinely nice, not faking it. Then he discovered the wonders of alcohol… Renee was out with her friends when he came home the first time he was drunk… he ended up beating me trying to get me to tell him where Renee was… after a few months he ended up…." We got this far… we can do it…. "He killed R-Renee."
Edward hands stop stroking my hair "He didn't?!"
Tears start falling faster "He d-did. He killed my mom… but h-he just burned the body and s-said that she left me and h-him… So n-no one knew."
"Sh." Edward soothes "It'll be alright… your mom is probably happier now."
I nod and sniff "I lived with h-him a year after my mom d-died. He beat me everyday…. And he always wanted… wanted to rape me… but I usually fought harder… and just got more of a beating… Then I finally got a yes from Phil, who d-doesn't know what happened, and I ran away…"
Edward grows quiet, but his hand grew a bit firmer when I told him about the wanting of the rape. (A/N: Does that even make sense? I always say the wanting of the something…. So….)
Well duh it would.
Then Edward parks the volvo. He kisses me lightly on the top of my head and I get out of the car.
JPOV (A/N: Probably real short though.)
I can't believe it. I wasn't there for her… wasn't there to protect her. I promised I would ALWAYS be there. What kind of a brother am I?! Leave my older twin alone…
I stomp into the house, seeing as visiting hours are over. Mom was in the kitchen, her eyes swollen and a coffee mug in her hand.
"Jasper." She whispers "Come here."
I take a seat in the dinner table "What is it mom?"
"Your father… he's escaped."
