A/N Yes I do read all your reviews, and I do take your views and requests into consideration. So as you begged me so nicely, here is the next chapter... a day early! I'll never get in front if I keep this up :/ but because I love you all... here it is... the confrontation!
Rescued.
Chapter 7
As we pulled up in the garage people emerged through the side door from the kitchen, I saw Esme, Dr Cullen, Jasper and the dark haired guy I now knew was Emmett, Edward's cousin.
"Esme, could you take Nessie inside please?" I asked as I lifted my Pumpkin out of the car.
"No. B." Pumpkin objected, hanging on to me for dear life.
"Pumpkin, I need to speak to that man, and I don't want him anywhere near you, so please go with Grandma and I promise I will come straight back to you." I tried to assure her. "I promise." I said again and kissed her nose, she nodded and reached for Esme.
Edward reached for my hand and without thinking on it, I took his hand and we walked out towards my car, Dr Cullen, Emmett and Jasper close behind us.
"You had to open your fucking mouth, you little shit, didn't you." Charlie yelled before I was anywhere near him, I gasped and Edward stepped in front of me, quickly being joined by the others who stood in front of me, like my very own offensive linemen.
"Is there a problem Charlie?" Dr Cullen asked, his voice calm, Edward was stood sideways he released my hand and wrapped his arm around my waist then pulled me against his side, he felt like a life preserve, I was gasping like I was about to drown.
"That depends, what lies has the little bitch told you." Charlie bit back at him aggressively.
"I don't know any little bitch, in fact I am offended by your language and would hope you wouldn't be referring to anyone around here that way." Dr Cullen said.
"Stay out of this Cullen, this is between me and her." Charlie said angrily jabbing his finger in my direction. "What have you said?" Charlie yelled at me.
Edward increased his hold on me as I stepped forward. "I haven't said anything, I have nothing to hide." I said, doing my best to keep my voice level.
"When are you going to show some respect, or do I have to make you." Charlie asked coming closer.
"That's far enough chief Swan, don't come any closer." Edward warned.
"You? You have some nerve," Charlie said to Edward, then turned to me. "You chose this male slut over your family?" I felt my blood boil, and all the hurt and pain I had felt all these years came bubbling to the surface and exploded out of my mouth before I could stop myself.
"Male slut? That's rich coming from you. He's a hundred times the man you'll ever be. At least he would turn up at his daughters graduation, and she wouldn't have to leave her own graduation to go find her family, and walk in to find you all naked, you on your knee's with your dick in Sue's ass, and Sue with her mouth full of my boyfriends dick." I spat in Jake's direction, "And my step sister sat on his face." I said, my breathing erratic and my heart trying to beat its way out off my chest, tears erupted through my anger. I turned my face into Edwards chest, his breathing was not that much slower than my own.
Edward growled, his disgust evident, Emmett and Jasper were in a state of humor mixed with horror.
"You fucking bitch!" Charlie and Jake yelled lunging for me.
They hit the wall of Dr Cullen, Emmett and Jasper, Edward pulled me out of the way protectively.
"If you wish to keep your standing in this community I strongly suggest that you leave before I report you myself, and don't come anywhere near Isabella again." Dr Cullen said.
"You'll pay for this bitch, there's no place I wont find you." I heard Charlie yell.
"Charlie if you go anywhere near her ever again, it will be the last..." Emmett roared but I didn't hear any more because Edward lifted me up and carried me back into the house, so I couldn't hear. He sat down and pulled me into his chest.
"Bella, you're safe, we will never let them hurt you." he said rocking me, and I realized I was actually sobbing, he kissed the top of my head. "Shush, baby, you're safe, I'll never let anyone hurt you again." he said. It was sweet of him, and I wanted it to be true, I wanted to feel this cared for, this protected for ever, but after Sunday I'd be heading back to my solitary existence in Seattle, and just the idea of walking away from him and my Pumpkin had the tears running worse than before, and I couldn't stop.
"Oh god Bella please don't cry, sweetheart, please tell me whats wrong? What can I do?" what do you need? I'll do what ever you want, what ever you need." he pleaded with me, but that just made it worse, I realized what it was I needed, I needed them, all of them, I needed a real family.
A/N :O Poor Bella! So now you know what she's had to live with, how will she go on now?
