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 16: Terminal excerpt

"What's wrong Bella?" he asked with a shaky voice,

"Umm can you come in here?" I asked and as the last words were out he was in the room walking toward me,

"What's wrong?" he repeated as he took my hand,

"umm… Alice, Rose, can you guys leave us alone for a minute?" I asked looking over at them, they gave me a worried glance but left.


CHAPTER 17: Hidden Wounds

Edward's POV

We didn't do anything so don't look at us like that -Rose thought.

Oh shit! I can see what it is but I'll let you find out on your own, watch your temper bro -Alice thought at the same time

Bella waited until they had left when she whispered, "Can they hear me if I whisper?" I shook my head knowing they would allow her some privacy "Good, nothing is wrong, per say, but I can't wear a bikini…" she continued to whisper.

"What me to find you a bathing suit?" I asked a little confused

"I was wondering if you could help me find one that won't show the scars," she whispered

"Scars?" I choked out; she looked down at the floor

"He lefts scars, from where he hit me," she said as tears began to form in her eyes,

"Where?" I whispered

"most of my back, just bellow my shoulder blades, all the way down to just bellow my butt," she said as the tears fell from her eyes, I pulled close and gave her a kiss.

"I'll find one that covers them, I promise…" I said before letting her go and running around the room at vampire speed, looking for the right bathing suit. I found one with shorts and took it from the hanger, then I continued to look. Bella tried to follow me with her eyes, but began to giggle, when she couldn't keep up, I was barely visible as I went thought the entire room until I found a suit that had a wetsuit style top, I took it from the hanger and then went over to Bella. "Here, put this on… I'll be waiting outside for you."

A few minutes later she walked out of the room looking beautiful in the bathing suit, which surprisingly matched. I put my arm around her and we walked out to the pool. Everyone was waiting for us, I saw Emmett was about to comment on Bella's suit but I gave him a look that said, say something and I'll kill you.

We spent the rest of the day in the pool when it began to get late I pick Bella up, and she began to giggle, I carried her all the way to her room where she asked "Can you stay here again?"

"Of course I can, I'll be back in a few minutes to let you change," I said before leaving the room.

"Edward, you can come back in," she said after a few minutes, "actually, can you call Carlisle?"

"Carlisle!" I called as I went into the room worried

"What' wrong?" Carlisle said as he came in followed by the rest of the family.

"Ummm… my back hurts really bad," she said looking directly at me

"Oh…" I said before continuing, "Come on everyone, lets let Carlisle work," we left them alone and everyone gave me questioning looks and thoughts, again.

Carlisle's POV

I don't believe anyone missed the look on Edward's face when Bella said her back was hurting, I knew this had to do with the bathing suit.

"Where does it hurt Bella?" I asked as I sat next to her.

"Where the scars are," she said sadly.

"What? What scars?" I asked confused, and afraid of the answer.

"Umm… EDWARD?" she called out

"Can I come in?" he asked at the door

"Yes…" I replied confused,

He went over to Bella and held her hand, "What is it?" he whispered softly to her,

"Can you tell them?" Bella pleaded

"Of course I can," Edward responded as he kissed her forehead, "Can everyone come in here please?" he continued

Everyone came in quickly and looked at him,

Edward's POV

When Bella called for me I knew she wanted me to tell the others what was going on, so when they came into the room I began to explain. They were all shocked but I saw Carlisle understand, he excused himself from the room and returned a few moments later with an ointment. "Here Bella, have one of the girls put this on your back and it will ease the pain."

"Ok," she said, "But can Edward do it?" she continued turning red

"If you'd like," I responded

My family smiled and contained their chuckles before leaving the room.

I took the ointment from Bella, "Are you sure you want me to do this?" I asked wanting to make her know that whatever she chose I would oblige

"I trust you more than I trust anyone," she said

"Ok, you want to lie down or you want me to put it on while you're standing?" I asked my voice slightly husky.

"I'll lie down," she said as she lay down on her bed. She pulled her shirt up to her breasts and lay still, I looked down at her scars and could help but want to kiss each one, and show her that it didn't matter to me if she had them; they only made me want her more. I began to spread the ointment on her back and she flinched slightly, "your hands are cold," she stated, "can you make them warmer?"

"Your wish is my command," I said as I warmed my hands and continued. When I was finished a put the ointment on her dresser and lay down next to her on my side,

"Thant you, it's already working," she said as I looked into her eyes.

"You know you're beautiful," I said as she blushed,

"I think I'm a lot like one if the students in Freedom Writers, you know; Gloria. She's the one who wrote 'If you look in my eyes, you'll see a lonely girl. If you like at my smile, you'll see nothing wrong. If you pull up my shirt, you'll see the bruises. What did I do to make him so mad?' Only that for me instead of bruises its scars.

"Bella…" I said, but couldn't continue, nothing I said would prove her wrong; at least not at the moment, but I would prove her wrong, one day soon.
