Bella's POV

I heard Carlisle report the analysis to Edward, and then he walked away, leaving Edward sobbing in front of my door. I couldn't take to hear that sadness from him, so I hoped off the table carefully and limped towards the door. When I opened it, he was sitting in front of it.

"Bella," he questioned. I grabbed his hand and pulled him into the room. He followed eagerly and I shut the door after that. I limped over to the bed, but he decided to pick me up and carry me over it. He gently laid me down, and I patted the space next to me. He hopped on, then wrapped his arms around me.

"Edward," I cried as I flipped over, ignoring my pain, and jumped into his arms. He held me in his arms, and he tried to sooth me. "I'm sorry."

"Bella, you have nothing to say sorry for," he whispered. I shook my head.

"I shouldn't have let you get involved with this," I cried.

"Bella, we are not going to let this James guy hurt you, whether he is your uncle or not."

"You don't understand," I whispered.

"What do you mean, Bella," he questioned. "Make me understand!"

"It's nothing; it's only suspicion on my part," I said. "It's nothing really." He nodded, letting it go for now.

"Bella," Alice called through the door. "May we come in?" I shook my head.

"Alice, give us a couple of minutes, alright," I suggested.

"But it's not fair," she whined. "You're able to go inside the room before us!"

"I'm also her boyfriend," he countered. We heard a huff, and then there was nothing.

"I need Angela in here," I whispered. He nodded reluctantly before going towards the door. Edward popped out for a couple of seconds before both of them came into the room. Angela immediately ran to my side, and I held her and comforted her.

"I'm so sorry, Bella," she cried. "I just couldn't take it when you said that you wanted to kill yourself today. I can't lose my best friend!"

"It's alright, Angela," I said as I stroked her hair.

"This is so twisted," she sighed. "I'm supposed to be the one comforting you." I couldn't help but laugh, and then she joined in. We pushed each other lightly, causing another round of laughter to go throughout the room.

"Is your mother safe," I questioned after we got under control.

"Yes," Angela answered. "I called her to tell her about your condition, and she wasn't happy. I warned her about James, and it seems like she's going to look out for James and try to stay away from him as much as possible. I hope she'll be alright too, Bells. Also, she wishes for you to get better, and then she'd like you to come over when better circumstances occur." I nodded, taking in this information.

"What about Ben's parents, just in case," I questioned.

"We haven't talked to them yet, but I'll make sure that she does."

"Do you know anything about Victoria," I questioned.

"No, not yet, and she hasn't called my mom yet, so it's up to you to decide what you want to tell her," Angela stated. "I wouldn't if I were you. James is the most dangerous person that I have ever met." I nodded in acknowledgment. We both thought of it.

"Alright, if Victoria calls your mom, tell her to get out of the house. Who knows what James will do when he finds out that I'm gone?" She nodded in agreement, and left the room. Edward immediately wrapped his arm around my waist. I snuggled up to him, and I sighed in contentment.

"Bella, let me in," Alice yelled as she started knocking on the door continuously.

"I better let her in then," I sighed as I started to get up, but he held me in place.

"Alice, Bella needs to rest," Edward shouted. "You can talk to her later!"

"But I want to see her now," she called.

"Edward, it's alright," I stated. "She can come in." Alice then walked through the door, sticking her tongue out at Edward like a six year old. It made me laugh, and Edward just rolled his eyes. The others came in as well.

"How are you feeling, Bella," Rosalie questioned as she took my side, after she pulled a chair up. Emmett picked her up to sit there, and then he set her on his lap, wrapping his arms around her and resting his head on her shoulder.

"I'm getting there," I smiled.

"How long until you're all healed," Jasper questioned anxiously.

"Physically, a month or two, at least that's what Carlisle said," I reported. "He wanted to do more test, but that would mean a trip to the hospital, which we can't do." They nodded as they took this information in.

"Does that mean that we can go shopping sooner or later," Alice questioned nervously. I rolled my eyes at her; she always had shopping on her mind.

"Later, Alice," I replied. "Not until all of these bruises go away, alright?" She pouted, but she nodded in understanding.

"Alright, it's time that Bella has some rest," Edward ordered. The others all gave me hugs, Emmett being extremely careful, and then they left, shutting the door. Edward bent down to give me a kiss, and I kissed him back.

After a few minutes, we were all settled. I snuggled up against Edward, and I let unconsciousness take me without any worries as I was in my lovers arms.
