-Chapter 26-

Edward's POV

"Alice, how do you know where Carlisle lives?" I frowned.

"The receptionist told me. She knew we were related so she just gave it to me." Alice shrugged.

"Well, I'll be damned." Jasper muttered.

"That's Alice's charm for ya." Emmett laughed.

We were already across the border a couple of hours ago and we were making our way to Forks in record timing. In less than ten minutes, we will be entering the little town of Forks, Washington. We have to be really careful with who we meet because we don't know who is on the lookout for us or who is hunting us down. We have to stay on guard and avoid any contact with anyone from here before they realize who we are.

"Turn left and it's up the hill." Alice instructed. Emmett sped up the hill and immediately stopped when we came across a very expensive looking house with a blue Mercedes out front.

"This is it." Alice nodded.

In an instant, we were all at the front door of Carlisle Cullen's house and pounding on the door. It took several seconds until we heard footsteps coming towards the door and then it opens right in front of us. Carlisle was standing in front of the door with blood smeared all over his lab coat. He looked exhausted and sweaty.

"Get clothes, we have to go." Alice said, hurriedly.

"I-I don't understand." Carlisle said in confusion.

"We don't have time! Dad please come with us! Please!" Alice begged.

I saw pain fill in the doctor's eyes as his daughter pleaded for him to come.

"But I'm treating someone." Those four words was all it took for Alice to burst out in tears.

"Dad, please, please you have to come! You're in danger. You can't stay here, please come with us. Please please. Bring your passport and clothes and come with us. Please, daddy, you can't leave me again." She cried. I had to hold in my own tears as I witness my baby sister plead for him to come. Jasper and Emmett were having a hard time holding in their emotions as well.

"I can't just leave Charlie here, Alice." Carlisle shook his head. I tensed. Alice started to cry even harder.

"He's a dangerous man, dad. He tried to kill me. You have to trust me and come with me. Daddy, you can't leave me again. You can't do this to me. You can't do this to us." She motioned between her and I.

Carlisle hesitated for a very long moment, debating whether to leave with us or not. How could he not?! His only daughter and his only son were finally pleading for him to come with us and he was thinking whether or not to leave the dangerous man in his home with him? Insane.

"Okay." He nodded.

Five minutes have gone by and Carlisle was prepared to leave, his passport in hand along with a suitcase filled with his personal belongings.

"Let's go." I nodded. We headed towards the car.

Rosalie's POV

"Oh Bella!" I cried, as I lunged for a big hug. I held her so tightly that I was afraid that she couldn't breath but I didn't dare to let go of her. She had to know that I was going to be here for her and that I intend to be a very good friend to her for a long time.

Bella started to sob quietly on my shoulder as she returned the hug. We cried freely for who knows how long, just letting all those emotions flow and let them all come out.

"I'm so sorry." I whispered to her, my voice hiccuping because of the crying.

"It's not your fault." She murmured, her voice shaky. I let go of the hug and wait for her to talk again. "Rosalie...I've gone through so much all my life. I realized that when life starts to get good, it start's crashing back down all over again. And there's nothing we could do about it - because that's how life goes. I'm going to tell you what happened to me that made me flee to here, first...

I love Edward so much. So much that it hurt to be away from him. One night, I decided to go to a party alone. I was only planning to stay for no longer than ten minutes. You know, say hello then leave. I left the part on time and was planning to walk the rest of the way to Edward and Alice's house. It was only two blocks away so I figured I'd be there in no time.

Then a black SUV started to follow me..." She broke down crying again, reliving the horrible memory. I held her tightly again.

This time, she didn't stop crying until she was so tired that she fell unconscious right there on my bed. I smiled sadly at her and wrapped a blanket around her. She was only beginning to hear her story and I could already feel the pain seeping into my heart. Bella was only eighteen years old and she had gone through too much for any one to handle. No one should have gone through what she had gone through.

Abuse is enough for one person. For her to have troubles on top of that? It takes a strong person to have survived this far.

I admired her for that.
