I stared out the window wondering what had become of Jasper. The scene that I had just witnessed played through my head through the flickering light of the lamp that had fallen on the floor. His hands had been so rough against the softness of my skin. He had never been that rough to me before. I had tried to shove him away, but I had not been strong enough. Luckily, someone had come by and saw what was happening. They had saved me from being violated in the worst way. The best night of my life had turned out to be the worst night.
As I became aware of my surroundings, I realized I was in a car. Looking around, my eyes found dark brown ones in the darkness. I let out a small gasp reaching for the door handle. His voice came out of the dark calm and comforting. My hand went slack on the handle wondering if I could truly trust him. I had trusted Jasper, and he had ruined that trust in the worst way. This boy had been the one to save me from a horrible fate. The least I could do was thank him, but my voice didn't want to work as my tongue was thick in my mouth. Instead, he spoke again. "Are you okay? You might be in shock...we should probably get you checked out at a hospital." He seemed concerned for my well-being and it was quite adorable. Hospitals scared me though telling him no with a shake of my head. I had been scared of them since I was a little girl. The sterile smell of them it just gave me the willies.
He seemed to accept my answer as he looked out the front window. I didn't know where we were, but I figured it was somewhere familiar to him. My fingers raked through my hair before looking down at myself seeing that I was a mess. My parents would not be happy to see me in such a state. Flipping down the visor, I stared at my reflection in the dim lighting around the mirror. There was smudged make-up all over my face. The crying had smeared my mascara making me look as if I was crazy. This night was what had been crazy. To make sure that I hadn't lost my mind, I went through the recent events.
One, I went to a high school party thinking that I was going to have a great time with my friends. My boyfriend had promised not to drink, but when I had mentioned having sex with him, he began to drink heavily. He found me on the dance floor proceeded to drag me up the stairs...The next images were hard to get through as I thought of the hands ripping my top and the button from my jeans. At the thoughts, I pulled the jacket closer to me hoping that it would protect me from everything happening around me. My breaths came out in short gasps as the car seemed to close in on me. I couldn't breathe. It all weighed down on me. The one person I had wanted to give myself had taken it from me while I had tried to get away. Did he even feel regret for what he had done to me? With trembling hands, I got the car door open. The cool air of the night hit my face though it was still hard to breathe.
The boy that saved me was by my side after a couple of minutes. We didn't say anything to each other as the sobs wracked my body. I wasn't sure when I had started to cry, but I had and it was a bit disconcerting for me. I was a bit of a drama queen, but I had never been one to shed real tears. I don't even think I cried when my goldfish died at the age of six. Why was I crying now? Maybe I was mourning the loss of love that I felt for Jasper. There was no way I could face him after tonight. He would most likely be apologetic, but what would stop him from doing this at the next party? I glanced up at Jacob. His arms were wrapped protectively around me.
Sniffling, I wiped at my eyes before looking around. "Could you take me home?" My voice came out hoarse and weak as if I had been crying for hours. There was a part of me that wanted to stay there forever knowing that once I got home the horror would be real. My body still trembled as I steadied my breathing. My heart was still pounding in my ears giving me a headache as I laid back in the seat as the boy shut the door behind me. He was a gentleman though I didn't really know him that well. I had to think to remember where I had seen him before. He was a junior though he looked as if he could be in the same grade as any of us. His name escaped me though as I tried to thank him for helping me out. Biting my lower lip out of nervous habit, I faced him. "Umm, thanks for back there...I hate to admit this, but I just don't know your name."

Jacob POV
She was beautiful sitting next to me. I had started the car when she turned to me to thank me. Even in her shaken state, I couldn't keep my eyes off her. Her lips formed words that made my world crash down around me. She didn't know my name. Alice Brandon hadn't known I existed before tonight just as I had dreaded. The world seemed to be dealing me a crappy hand. Looking over, I shrugged as if that was the right thing to do. Inside my head, I was banging my head against the steering wheel repeatedly thinking I was stupid for thinking that she would even have the tiniest clue of who I was.
"Jacob Black, and you were in trouble anyone would have done that." A name and a simple explanation before I started the car. The silence fell over us as I drove to her house. The only words coming from her were directions. I didn't want to take her home, but I knew that it was better this way. She would continue with her friends and the popular lifestyle she had, and I would go back to being in the background with Quil and Embry. It was a bit depressing when I thought about it for too long.
Alice, the beautiful pixie girl of my dreams, smiled weakly though I could tell it was forced. She waved taking my jacket with her without noticing. The light on her porch was on. It was a decent sized house as was every house in this neighborhood. White with blue shutters and a blue door. Alice crept in through the door probably trying to get past her parents. She really was gorgeous. I had to fight the anger that was building in me now from the thought of what that jerk been doing to her.
How could anyone want to hurt a beautiful girl like that? I hoped that she wouldn't go back to him though it wouldn't have surprised me. Girls like that always ended up with guys like him. It was the way life worked around here. The same cheerleader type girls ended up with the jocks, went off to college, got married, and had the two kids to fill the status quo. It was annoying that I would never be able to give her any of that. I was most likely going to end up working in my dad's garage until I could pass it on to my son. With a sigh, I put my car into drive before heading home. I knew one thing for sure. School was certainly going to be interesting on Monday. Everybody who was everybody had been at that party and had probably seen me carry Alice out of the house. Where had her friends been? I really got steamed up about that.
That was when I remembered Embry and the guys were still at the party. My head hit the steering wheel as I stopped looking out at the road. A part of me didn't want to go back and another knew that I would be a horrible friend if I didn't. I groaned before turning back. The guys looked relieved when I pulled up.
"Where's Alice?" That seemed to be the question that was on all of their minds as I turned to look at them.
"I took her home." They had looks of disappointment on their faces as I turned back pulling away from Masen's house. There was no way I could go back into the party without decking Jasper. I hoped I had hurt him good that he remembered it tomorrow. He would certainly be sorry that he had screwed up with Alice. I could tell by the look on her face that she wasn't one to forgive so easily. That was good because what he had done had been unforgivable...and it gave me a chance to win her heart.
