Everyone started at Angela in shock.
"No," we heard Rosalie say.
"What," Alice gasped.
"No," she said again. "We are not going to leave her alone because she is someone precious to us who is getting hurt. I don't care if she's trying to stay with her last part of her family because if they abuse her, they are not her family. They shouldn't even deserve to be called her family after what has been done to her. Now if you don't move aside and let us get to Bella, I will make you." Angela stared at her, but sighed after a minute. She turned and opened the passenger door.
"No," I heard Bella gasp. "Don't, Angela!"
"I'm sorry, Bella," Angela said shamefully. "But this has gone on long enough." Angela moved out of the way, and I rushed forward. Bella moved to the farthest end of the truck away from me. All I saw from her was fear.
"Bella," I said soothingly. "I'm not going to hurt you. Please, don't shy away from me now. I can't stand to see you in pain. Please. Don't abandon me." I noticed that she was close to tears, and I didn't know what she was going to do. Then she flung herself at me and started sobbing. I held on to her, hoping that I wasn't hurting her. I had no clue how bad her wounds are.
"I—I'm so—so sor—sorry, Ed—Edward," she stuttered as she sobbed. "I—I'm sorry!"
"Bella, you have nothing to be sorry for," I answered. "You have never done nothing wrong." She just cried harder. I picked her up bridal style, and I hoped into the truck to sit, still holding Bella. She didn't seem to notice. I looked up to see that my family was still around us. Angela was being held by Ben who had came over. She was crying also.
"Let's take you to my house, do you want that, Bella," Angela questioned.
"Bu—but yo—your mom i—is there," she sobbed.
"Yeah, but she's really worried about you," Angela replied. "So why don't we go, and then we'll talk together. Just you and I."
"No," Emmett stated. "If Bella's has anything to do with this, I'm in."
"Us two," Alice said as she was wrapped in Jasper's arms. You could see the tears that were silently running down her face. Jasper nodded from his position on her shoulder.
"I'm in this also," Rosalie stated. Emmett wrapped his arms around her small waist.
"You can't bud me out of this," Edward stated. "I'm stuck to her no matter what. So why don't we go to our house instead. Our father is a doctor. He'd be able to examine her without being in a hospital." Bella shook her head.
"We can't have that happen," Angela stated. "James would find out somehow. You don't want to get involve with someone like him."
"We'll run away then," Emmett suggested. "All of us. He won't be able to find her."
"That would work if he wasn't a veteran of the army," Angela scoffed. "He'd just call his resources and track her down, all of us."
"Why don't we just do this simply and call the police," Rosalie suggested. Bella shook her head again.
"They would need actual proof," Angela sighed. "And they would need witnesses and to actually be at the scene when it happens. And I for one, doesn't want Bella to be beaten again."
"Jasper, get the car," I stated as I threw my keys at him. Angela, Bella and I are going to go in Bella's truck while you guys go in my car." I slid into the truck more, and Angela came around with Ben. Emmett shut the door, being careful of Bella. He just ignored what I had said and jumped into the back of the truck. Ben hopped up there also. Angela started driving off, and I gave her some directions to the house. When she gazed upon it, she was in total awe of it. We parked in front of my house, and the others stopped behind us. Emmett jumped out and opened the door to help me get out while he carried the sobbing Bella in his arms. Esme immediately rushed out to see that we were all home. Carlisle came soon after. "Aren't you supposed to be in—." He immediately stopped his sentence when his gaze fell on Bella. He rushed over to her and started analyzing her. I stood outside of the door, and there were random times where I would hear him gasp or sigh in frustration. It made me so nervous that I started pacing.
"Alright, Bella," I heard Carlisle say. "I'm done."
"Please, don't let anyone in," she cried.
"I'll try and keep them out as much as I can, but Edward's already waiting outside the door," Carlisle stated. He knew that I was there from the very beginning.
I heard him walking to the door, and he opened it before closing the door behind him as he exited. "What is it, Dad," I questioned as I beheld the look of dread on his expressions.
"I examined her," he said slowly, "And there are years of scarring, weeks, possibly months of bruises, she has a broken rib right now. Thankfully, it didn't puncher any of her organs. She has a shoulder that is healing wrongly, so I had to reset it, and then she as a sprained ankle on top of all that. That's all I can do for now without taking her to the hospital though, but she refuses to go near it. I am surprised thought that she doesn't have any more injuries. She's built a lot of endurance to take that kind of abuse, but she's clearly close to her breaking point, Edward. There's nothing we can do though, until she decides what she wants."
"Can I see her," I questioned desperately.
"She doesn't want to see you, Edward," Carlisle stated. "I have to respect her wishes." He started walking away then. I walked over to the door and pushed myself against it, knowing that it was locked. I couldn't hold the tears any longer, and I felt myself slink to the floor. So there I was, sobbing right in front of the door that Bella was behind. Then I heard the sound of a door opening.
