This is a story from my wild imagination that uses the awesome characters from Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. Stephanie Meyer owns The Twilight Saga and all its true glory.

CHAPTER 14: Loving Monster excerpt

When she finally stopped crying it was because she was asleep. I carried her to her room and set her on her bed, I tucked the covers close and was about to leave the room when Alice came in and said, "If you leave she'll have a really bad nightmare and will be even more scared then she was." I stated at her without showing any acknowledgement and before she left the room she said, "It's not your fault,"

I felt horrible, how could I cause her so much, when I loved her with my entire heart, whether it be beating or not. I felt like the monster I was.

CHAPTER 15: Hurt has a name

Edward's POV

When Bella woke up I didn't know what to think, would she hate me? Would she let me touch her?

"Edward?" Bella said as she pulled herself up so that he back was resting against the head board.

"Yeah?" I said as I looked up at her from the chair I was sitting in.

"I should explain what happened last night. I want you to know that you didn't do anything wrong though, and I hope you're not mad at me for screaming like I did, it's just that I flipped out. I'm so sorry."

"Bella, if anyone has something to be sorry about it's me. I shouldn't have done that. I know you don't really like it when people surprise you or touch you…"

But she interrupted, "But I let you touch me" she whispered.

"I know you do Bella, and you don't know how happy that makes me, but I should NEVER have surprised you that way."

"Edward I need to explain something to you…"

"You can tell me anything Bella" I said as I took her hand.

"Can you sit with me?" she whispered

As I sat next to her I said, "Bella I want to ask you something,"

"Ok, but after I really have to tell you the reason why things happened last night," she whispered again.

"Of course but I just want to ask you not to hide your beautiful voice in that whisper of yours," I said as I saw her blush a deep red.

"Ok," she whispered

"Bella?" I said looking at her

She giggled then continued at normal volume, "Okay, can I explain everything now?" I nodded my head in agreement and she continued, "I never told this to anyone, but I didn't come to Forks because I necessarily chose to. You see my mom, Renee, got remarried, about three years ago, to Phil, and he's really nice but he plays professional baseball. My mom wanted to be with him, so I would stay…"

she began to tear up a little and I put my arm around her shoulders, "…I would have to stay with… James… my brother… At first things were fine, but about six months after Renee and Phil were married they went on their first long trip, It lasted about eight months…and that's when it began…"

she was full out sobbing now, I pulled her close but kept quiet, "Every night, or every time he felt like it he would go into my room and rape me, if I resisted he'd hit me."

I clenched my teeth together and focused on her heart beat, "The first time my mom and Phil came back I told her but she didn't believe me, after that it didn't matter if they were home or not, he didn't care, James did things to me, and made me do things that I can't bare remember. He would come up behind me, and his arms were always warm and he would always drag me to where ever he wanted me, half the time he would tie me up, or gag me, he would whip me, hit me, and just beat the shit out of me."

She was sobbing and holding on to me, I decided not to 'turn on the heat' I knew what that would remind her of rite now. "Then when I begged my mom to listen to me, and stay with me instead of leaving with Phil, She decided to pack my bags and put me on a plain to Forks. When I arrived you saw how I was, I barely whispered, but I learned that what happened wasn't my fault, then I found out I was sick, and I decided to live my life a little more like I would have before everything began."

She explained as she looked up into my eyes, "Then I met you and I opened up completely, and for the first time in two and a half years I felt safe. And then Charlie dies and I felt the whole world tumbling down, but then you and your family were right there, you offered me a home, a family, and …a boyfriend" she said the last two words in a whisper.

I was forced to interrupt, "You're more than just a girl friend," and then I gave her a small but very loving very gentle kiss. "I want you to know that I will always take care of you, I love you and I will never let anyone hurt you."

"Thank you, Edward, I love you too." She said as she snuggled into me.

I hugged her for a long time, then I heard someone coming up the stairs, then knocking on the door, "Come in Emmett," I said

"Hey Bella, how you feeling?" he asked

"Better," she said as she turned to face him,

"You've been crying," he stated as he say her eyes, "Did Edward do something stupid again?" he almost growled in my direction

"What do you mean again?" she asked confused

"He's talking about last night," I said in a strained voice

"Emmett, Edward didn't do anything wrong, he was excited to see me. I would have done the same thing. You would have done the same with Rose, or am I wrong?" Bella said as she took me hand.

"But Rose and I are married, plus we all know you don't like people touching you, or yell, or make loud noises or quick movements," he said looking at the floor.

"You guys are married?!" Bella exclaimed, before yelling, "ROSE! ..."

"Forgot you didn't know that," he mumbled,

"What's wrong?" Rose said as she ran into the room

"YOU'RE MARRIED?!" she yelled as she jumped over the bed, away from me, and to Rose.

"Who told you?" she said and immediately looked at me and I shook my head, no, and then she turned to Emmett who was still staring at the floor, "Emmett I thought that we agreed to keep that on the D.L. for now, remember?"

But Emmett was just staring at the floor, but I knew what he was thinking; how can she only think about Rose and me being married and not what Edward did? He should have known better, he shouldn't have hurt my sister like that.

"Your sister?" I said looking at him

"Oh, yeah… Bella said she could be my little sister," Emmett responded

"Only if he was my big brother," Bella added as she walked over to him, "Emmett, I'm ok."

"But brothers are supposed to…" Emmett began but that's as far as he got.

"Shut the hell up, NOW!" I growled fiercely at him.

"What the hell?" Emmett said mad.

"Rose, take Bella down stairs, I don't want her to hear this… not right now" I said turning to face Bella, and as I meet her eyes I saw she understood what he was about to say, her eyes teared up and she ran out of the room, Rose followed her.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Emmett yelled at me.

I looked at him and let the pain and anger I felt while Bella had told me her story show in my eyes, "She told me what happened to her." I said in a husky, thick, strained voice, and with that Emmett had the same look in his eyes that I wore.

"What… what happened?" he whispered in a voice as thick as mine had been

"It's not my story to tell," I said as I left the room to find Bella.

She was in the living room on the couch with my family around her. I picked her up and she cried into my chest, "Emmett's right," and continued to cry as my family looked at me with worried glances, especially since my eyes were once again pitch black, even if it had been hours since I had hunted.

Emmett came into the room, and all heads turned toward him, he looked at them and like me his eyes were black. They looked from me to him, then to Bella, and understood.

When Bella was calm enough to speak, she looked up at me and said two words with such sorrow that it broke my heart, "Tell them…" then she turned her head back to my chest and waited to hear her story.
