Ok so I reread this chap in NLG and I slipped up in my editing. Ok so when I noted that Bella talked to the cops it said she told them about the abuse AND the rape. I forgot to take out her telling the rape part cause that was later on with the Cullens. So just so you aint confused when you read it from EPOV, Bella has NOT said anything except to Rose and Carlisle about her rape. I will go back in NLG and fix it up.

But anyhoo here's the next chap in CLG

Enjoy

Three more days of being with Bella in that wretched hospital bed and I thought I was going to burst. She was finally released and allowed to go home. I was relieved beyond words but I couldn't help but sense that something was wrong. She seemed fine when she talked to the cops and told them everything about the abuse. But she didn't tell me everything. She was hiding something and I was terrified to find out the extent of what she had been through. Bella seemed off, distant even and it hurt not knowing what was going through her head.

As I drove us back home Bella wasn't talking and it was driving me insane. "Bella?" I said placing a hand on her leg, causing her to jump and give out a little scream. "Bella. Bella, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to startle you." I apologized. "Are you ok?" I asked concerned. "Bella?"

"I.. I'm fine." I could tell she was lying. "Just a little jumpy." She said quietly, refusing to look at me.

I sighed hurt that she couldn't even look at me. "We'll be home soon angel. Esme has made dinner for you, the others are going out to Jasper's party, but if you're not up to it we can just have a quiet night in if you'd like. Face everyone later instead. I know it's going to be hard for you Bella." I told her and for a moment she looked… well, pissed off.

"Edward I'm fine. I want to see everyone. I am capable of facing people you know. I'll tell you if I can't handle something ok?" She said sternly. What had I done?

I kept driving in silence trying to figure out what I had done to aggravate her so. I offered my hand to help her out of the car like I always do, but she didn't take it. "God Edward I can get out of a car myself you know. Just back off a bit." She said annoyed.

I was shocked and hurt but I just went along with what she wanted. "Ok Bella, I'm sorry. I was just offering to help." I said stepping back out of her way.

"Well I don't need your help ok!" She snapped. What had happened to my Bella? This wasn't my angel. Something was wrong.

"Edward.. I.. I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me." She apologised, tears starting to build up in her eyes.

I walked over to Bella slowly, my arms open invitingly for her. She ran into my open arms sobbing. "Edward.. I.." She tried to say.

"Shh. Bella it's ok. Don't worry about it." I murmured into her hair.

She cried into my chest, then grabbed at my shirt, reached up and kissed me. It wasn't like our other kisses soft and gentle kiss, it was fierce and aggressive. This wasn't Bella and I didn't respond at first to the kiss and she stuck her tongue in his mouth and tried to force me to respond. I gripped onto her arms and pushed her away off me.

"Bella. What's gotten into you? This isn't you." I said searching her eyes for my love. "Where's my angel gone? Where's my Bella?" I muttered to myself.

"I'm right here Edward. What are you talking about?" She said in a strange tone. "Look at me," She said gesturing to her body. "This is me. What you see is what you get. If you don't like it maybe I should go find someone who does." She snapped at me. No!

She pushed me and ran back to the car. I realized I had left the keys in the car but I was too late to stop her as she started the car and sped off down the drive away from me. I ran after her shouting for her to stop, begging her to come back. But she just sped up and kept driving. I fell to my knees crippled from the pain I was feeling.

"Come back Bella… Please" I pleaded to no one my voice breaking.

"Edward…" Rose's voice croaked and I saw that she was crouched down with me. She hugged me and I hugged her back as the tears fell from both of us. "We'll bring her back. I promise Bella will return. I'll save your angel. I promise."

My angel… What had happened to my angel? She was gone and replaced with a stranger. I suddenly felt a shiver run down my spine and my heart clenched tight. Something wasn't right. I have to get Bella back. NOW.

…

Hmmm so Edwards feeling Bella's betrayal… remember Matt and Embry… they're coming up lets see what Bella was really getting herself into I'll even throw in some of JasperPOV if people want.

This chap is short in both CLG and NLG because it's just leading to the party and Bella's 'change'.

Review = update
