I opened my eyes. My head hurt, my throat felt like the Sahara desert and my body felt ice cold. Maybe I'll just close my eyes…

"Then Mike yelled out that Lauren gave him a blow job in her own room. The look on Jessica's face look like a mixture of Freddy Kruegar and one of those housewife's from the orange county. She told him that she lost her virginity to Mr Newton, his own father!" I recognized Seth's over enthusiastic voice but my eyes refuse to open.

I could feel some sort of object poking arm with slight stinging sensation as Seth shook my arm, putting actions into his story. My body still felt cold. Maybe I'll sleep for just a while longer…

"So… you're like my closest girl friend and I know you won't judge. I met someone, not like physically. We were mutual friends on Facebook and we started talking and we share the same interests, he has the same opinions on life; he just gets me, you know. I never thought I would trust another man after what Sam did to me. Anyway, he's name is Paul and apparently he live in La Push, the Native American reservation, but doesn't want to meet me, scared it will ruin the illusion. Of what? I have no fucking clue and it really pisses me off but…he's got this thing that I can't seem to get enough of. He says he's sixteen like me. I wish you were awake to tell 'Lee, this guy is kind of shadey. I mean who doesn't want to meet you' or something."

I wish I was awake, but my body is just cold. I need to get my warmth back…

"Why isn't she waking up? Please Carlisle, she's all I have. I lost her mom, I can't lose her too."

"Charlie we are doing everything we can. She's suffering from hypothermia, her pulse is extremely weak and her body is refusing all help. Right now all we can do is to make sure she stays warm…"

Warm

Too warm. The heat was overwhelming I need to open my eyes and see what's happening. My eyes felt crusty as I opened them but I didn't mind, because the sight in front of me was breath taking.

Edward Cullen was blowing and vigorously rubbing both of my hands. The purple bags under his eyes indicate that he hasn't slept in days. He looked sickly pale and his usual sex hair was just flopped in front of his eyes. He looked so young and vulnerable, he looked his age.

"Fuck, I'm so sorry. I hate myself, and I know that if you were here you would say that it's not my fault. God, you were right behind my house probably scared out of your mind and cold, so cold. If I would've paid attention other than wallowing maybe you wouldn't be here. Maybe we'd be out at that same meadow just laying there and not worrying about the future… instead you're here, unconscious and found by my sister who doesn't even know you but could recognize you and your struggle." The warmth of his tears radiated on my skin. I tried to speak but my voice came out in a small raspy whisper.

"E-Edwa-ward." His bewitching eyes looked into my own eyes. He looked like he was about to say something but there was one thing I needed more than ever. "W-w-water." He looked at me for a brief moment, registering what was happening before he shot up to get the glass and place the straw in between my chapped lips. I savoured each gulp until there was nothing left and my stomach bloated up from the water, sloshing around. "Thank you" I said, my voice still soft but not raspy anymore. "Edward how long was I out for?"

"Four excruciating days. The EMTs said that when they found you, your lips and nails were blue. I had never been so scared in my entire life. I was so afraid that…that I lost you and the last thing you would remember me by was what an asshole I was."

My body started feeling heavy again but I need to let Edward know what I felt. "You're not and asshole you're my…"

"Your what Bella?"

"Hero." My eyelids dropped instantly.

I couldn't breathe.

Something was preventing me. I started to struggle but that made the force stronger. The oxygen that was lacking was making my brain fuzzy. I could feel my pulse slow down.

What was happening?!

Thankfully the force was roughly pushed off me and I took the opportunity to gasp for air, not knowing if I would get other opportunity to breathe again. Once my mind refocused itself I saw Edward and Jacob wrestling on the floor, Edward punching and kicking while Jacob tried pushing him away to get in his own punches. If anyone saw this, what would they think? Edward if already in the dog box with Charlie. "Edward p-please stop!"

Beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep

My heart rate was spiking up, my breathing quickened so much that I felt like I was hyperventilating. "PLEASE!" I screamed.

Suddenly Carlisle came in looking first at me then at the scene in front of him. Red flooded his pale cheeks, furiously he walked over to the boys and grabbed the back of Edward's shirt, yanking him up and dragging him out of the room while another mal nurse helped Jacob up and offered to get some ice. He agreed and walked out but not before looking at me with that evil smile that he wears so well.

"But Daddy-"

"Isabella Marie Swan you will not make up lies about Jacob Black. He has been practically like family and that is how you treat him? By making up lies about how he smothered you and abuses you. Why on earth would he do that?"

It has been going on like this for two days. When Charlie asked what happened I told him the truth. How Jacob has been assaulting me not only physically but also sexually, how he was the reason I ran away and that we was the one who tried to suffocate me. During that time Edward has been going in countless times to the station for questioning, yet Jacob remains free and innocent.

"Because he is mentally unstable, tried to rape me countless times and if it wasn't for Edward-"

"And that another thing, since when is that low life your friend. You defend him when Jacob did nothing-"

"You know what?" I finally break down, "I can't take it anymore, I want my mom. I don't want to be here anymore with Jacob lurking in every corner trying to steal what's precious and you believing that scum other than your own daughter." The tears were streaming down my face but I didn't care, I had to continue, "I was so scared to tell you about Jacob because I was scared that it would ruin your friendship with Billy, but instead it just ruined your relationship with me. I want to be with mom and her new husband and pretend like we're a functioning family because that is a lot better than living in this hell hole with a father who cares more about a criminal than his own daughter." Once I was done I looked up.

In all my years on earth had I never seen my father shed a tear, but now just like me the tears were streaming down his face. I felt guilty.

I never meant to hurt him, I wanted him to know the truth, but I guess the truth hurts. He looked not at me but through me. "If that's what you want I'll call your mother tomorrow morning and arrange something. Just… go to your room."

"Daddy-"

"I said go!" he yelled and I quickly shuffled upstairs and closed my door before releasing what I was holding back. I ran to my bed and quickly grabbed my phone.

I'm ready.

My phone beeped.

I'll be there in ten minutes
