EPOV

Jane's cold, gray eyes pierced into mine. As the saying goes if looks could kill… in this moment, I felt like death would be worth it. I still felt the sharp sting on my cheek from Bella's little hand.

I deserved that slap and tried to go after her, but my arm was latched in Jane's firm grip. "Anthony," she snapped.

I looked at her again. If she wanted to me to be Anthony, she would get Anthony. He was polite, charming and handsome. A fucking fake for existing in this world I was. Jane stopped the waiter passing us reaching for two glasses of champagne. The sweet smell and taste of an old friend begging me to make my way home.

As I tipped the glass, letting a drop hit my tongue I saw flashes of Bella and Rylan. One taste and I was done for. Jane was watching, waiting. This was a fucking set up. The look on her face told me what I wanted to know. I noticed the crack in her steel-like demeanor; she wasn't looking at me at all she was looking behind me.

It took me a split second to see James. On top of my world caving in on me… Edward's world, it seemed Anthony's was joining the rubble.

"I wouldn't move if I were you," she hissed.

"You can threaten all you want," I spat.

"Did you really think my father wouldn't know that you were fucking the District Attorney of Seattle's sister? You really are a fool," she chastised. "I'm curious as to why your physical documents said you had herpes."

Fucking Emmett.

"Why let it go this far?" I questioned calmly. I doubted they knew I was wired, the Volturi might think that's all we were doing was fucking.

"I loathe Isabella, she doesn't deserve anything that has been given to her, she is just a child Alice should be working for me."

"Is this about Bella or Jasper?" I asked snidely.

"You will not speak to me like that, you are a whore, know your place," Jane said through gritted teeth. "I'm sure James can remind you."

James nodded standing close to us as he danced with a red head that also worked for Aro.

"I think you fucked up this time, Masen," he sneered.

There were too many people in here for either of us to do anything. I remained quiet until the auction. Jane dismissed me saying she had to work, but ordered James to make sure I didn't leave. I did manage to pull out my phone seeing a text from Jasper explaining they knew what happened and that he and the agents were waiting outside.

I felt relieved that this was almost over, but for the things that transpired between my angel and me I felt that I would be better off rotting in a jail cell.

The pieces sold the most were Bella's; I wasn't surprised when they announced all earning from The Ugly Ducking action went to children's cancer research. A sharp pain ripped through my heart. I was a piece of shit.

Jane was of course furious that none of her pieces sold as she anticipated. She jerked me from the wall I was standing against. "I think it's time that we see my father."

I was glad she was making us leave early there would be less attention brought to us that way. I was the first one out, stepping to the side when I saw Agent York and Jasper walking towards us. Jasper was off to the side slightly I doubted Jane could make him out from where he stood.

"Jane Mocelli?" Peter asked.

She nodded oblivious to who he was. He brought his cuffs out stating her rights and as this was happening four other agents rushed for James and Victoria. Jasper informed me this was also happening to Aro and his brothers just across town. Once the feds cleared out, Jasper and Emmett tried to talk to me.

With all my rationality gone, my fist connected with the cold, hard brick that was the building. I could only hear the crack of my bones and scream. I felt nothing because I was numb. Emmett placed hand on my shoulder trying to get my attention, after what seemed like forever I was silent.

"I want a drink or a hit of…anything that will make me forget what I've become," I rasped out letting my uninjured hand clutch the collar of his shirt.

"I'm not going to let that happen, you're my brother and regardless of how Rose feels right now," he trailed off.

"What does Rose know?" I whispered. My sister and brother were all I had again. I was to blame for that.

"Bella came home…I have never seen her so fired up. She was quiet and then just…not. She found out that we all new something like this was going on."

"Something like what? She thinks I cheated on her," I hissed as the pain finally hit me.

"We need to get you to a hospital man," he sighed.

"I deserve to suffer," I winced trying to flex my very broken hand.

Time just seemed to move without me. Emmett and Jasper made sure I wasn't alone in fear of what the Volturi or Rose might do. Rosalie made it very clear how big of a fuck up I truly was. They knew Jane was my date and I'm almost positive they thought I was sleeping with her, but they still were not allowed to know the complete situation.

I tried staying away from Rose not only because she wanted to kill me, but also out of fear what the Volturi might do if they found out she was my sister. Aro knew my brother was Carlisle Cullen but that's where it ended. When we came to live with him he had our birth records and social securities sealed. The remaining Platt children couldn't be found or at least put in the public eye.

Aro's lawyers only looked at my records long enough to clear my name and get me in school. He had no idea I had a twin sister and I wanted to keep it that way.

From what Emmett told me, two weeks had already past. I had not seen or heard from Bella. I was constantly wondering what she was doing, what Rylan was doing. Each day seemed to get worse. I was slipping further into depression.

"Don't make him testify in front of them as far as they know he was arrested with James and Victoria," I heard Emmett discussing as he made his way into the house.

"Yeah," he sighed into the phone. "Thanks, I'll talk to him about it."

"Where's Rosie?" Emmett asked plopping down next to me on the couch.

"Out." I was growing fond of one-worded answers.

I stared at the television not really caring what was on. That was just another symptom of my zombie-like state.

"I got the last of your stuff from your condo."

"Okay."

"You need to fucking work with me man, I'm really trying here. I have your sister beating my ear off for letting you stay here; Jasper and I are trying to set up a meeting with the judge so no one knows you were the squealer… I mean you should at least be happy you aren't going to prison."

"I'd rather be in prison," I mumbled still not looking at him.

"Trust me Captain Emo, you wouldn't, especially if the other inmates knew what you were in for. You would have a boyfriend in no time," he said nonchalantly.

"You're not funny."

"Believe it or not I wasn't trying to be and you should be kissing my ass for saving you."

I wasn't going to reply. This was the most I've talked to him since the hospital trip after we did find out my hand was broken. I just shutdown.

"Oh so you're going back to sulking… Just so you know she's in Forks," Emmett said frankly.

My head snapped to look at him. What was I suppose to do with this information? Did I go to her? Would she even see me? I faced many sleepless nights without her in my bed. I missed having her cling to me in sleep. I felt like I was actually doing something right… keeping her safe. I didn't keep her safe though because I had ripped her heart out and broke her trust.

The next day I called Jasper, I didn't say anything he told me his father's address and that was it. I parked down the street from where Bella supposedly was and just waited. I wasn't necessarily waiting for her. I didn't know how to go about fixing us or if I could ever fix us.

A tap at my driver's side window broke me from my thoughts. A man that I had only seen in pictures and from a distance when we would come out this way for church was looking at me expectantly. I rolled the window down, waiting for Bella's dad to tell me to fuck off.

"I was expecting you earlier," he commented.

I stared at him probably in disbelief. His mustache twitched in a sad smile before he opened my door. "Come on we should talk inside."

"Okay."

I followed him back to Bella's childhood house. I wanted to cry when I saw Rylan's toys strewn across the room. I looked at the mantle noticing Jasper's high school football picture and Bella's senior portrait side by side. A picture of Bella holding her baby after his birth was the centerpiece of the mantle her dad on one side and a russet skinned man in a wheel chair on the other. One thing I could tell about Charlie Swan was that he was proud of his children.

"Jasper told me everything," he said taking a seat in his recliner.

"I thought that wasn't allowed?"

"I'm law enforcement," he said raising an eyebrow. "Plus he didn't want me making a trip to Seattle."

"I'm sorry."

"I can clearly see that you are."

"Where is she?"

"The store she should be back," he said thoughtfully. "You know what you want to say?"

"Not a clue."

"I suggest you have something good to say because Bella is devastated and even if she isn't talking about it. I know she loved you. For three months, I saw the old Bella, the Bella that lived here before Jake died. I want her back and to stay. You can make that happen. You will make that happen, think of fixing this. I know you can't tell her everything until your part of the trial is wrapped, but let her in on something."

"I never cheated on her."

"Then tell her that, she thinks something different."

"I love her and your grandson."

"Fight for them." With that being said, he stood up and made his way to what I guessed was the kitchen.

I made it sound so simple, but how could it be that simple. Bella was devastated her face and actions screamed that when she confronted me at the gala. Now I had to wait for her to arrive home. I needed to tell her something without endangering her or my family, if I had my way I would take Bella and Rylan and run. We would get away from this world and life, building a new one. I wanted a new life with her where I could show her I was a better man and that my love for her would never fade. Without Bella, I didn't know how I would survive.

A/N: Last chapter did you all jump ship? The end is almost there I have to write the last chapter, but good news is that the epi is done and just needs edited. There won't be a huge gap between those then. So what are your thoughts?
