A/N: Alright! New Chapter! *Crowd Cheers* Now, I know I haven't updated in a while. A lot had been going on in my personal life. But, that is now over and I can update! Yay! Well, enjoy this chappy.

BPOV

"Alright, Laura, which one is your house?"

"The third one on the left. That one right there." She pointed to the large white house. It was big. Of course, the Cullen's house was bigger, but compared to mine, this one was huge. Mine probably looked like a little shack.

"Wow, impressive house. Were you rich or something?" Of course, Emmett said that. I rolled my eyes and went to hit him, but Rose already smacked him on the head.

"What the hell?" We all laughed.

"Uh, how are we going to get inside?" Jasper asked.

"Easy, I can pick the lock." Our eyes bulged at Emmett. This idiot can pick a lock? That's a first. But, then again, he could be lying. I'm heading toward the second idea.

"Yeah right. You can't even pick your nose right. You always poke yourself in the eye." Edward said. Who pokes themselves in the eye?

"Not true! That happened once! ONCE!" We all rolled our eyes at his idiotic behavior. "Now, let me pick this lock." He took out a bobby pin.

"Emmett? Just curious, but WHY do you keep a bobby pin in your back pocket?" He paused and looked at me.

"You know, I don't remember. But, forever reason, it's good that I have it." I just stared at him. It's amazing how someone could be such an idiot. Sure we all love him to pieces, but sometimes, we worry about him. I stopped staring and shook my head in confusion.

Anyway, he took his bobby pin and slid it into the lock. I knew this was going take a while, so I slid down on the steps that were in the front of the house and put my chin in my hands.

I told Laura about the party. Could I tell the Cullens? What if they didn't like me anymore because I was raped? Maybe they would think that I was dirty. I do. Or maybe, just maybe, they would help me. Help me forget what happened.

I sighed. I didn't know when to tell them, or if I would tell them at all. If I did, would I tell all of them at once, or one at a time. I sighed again. Why did my life have to be so damn complicated? I was pulled out of my thoughts by Emmett's screaming.

"I can't do it! My finger hurts too badly. I shut it in the car door this morning." I rolled my eyes and went over to a window.

"This window is open. Why don't we just crawl through there." I said. I opened the window and crawled in the house. Everyone else followed my lead. Well, Emmett got stuck and Jasper had to push his ass through. It was quite funny actually. Both their faces were priceless.

I looked around Laura's house. It looked even more big on the inside. It was a two-story house. It had nice white walls and a cream colored carpet. She led us up to her room on the second floor. The walls were painted a sky blue and the ceiling was a dark purple. This was my kind of room.

"So Laura, what do you need to collect?" I asked her.

"Some clothes and stuff like that. I really don't have anything else important." I nodded. She went over to the closet. She grabbed the clothes on the hangers. She went over to her dresser where she took her pajamas. Then she grabbed her cell phone and the charger.

"Well, I am ready to go." She said.

We drove back to my house. The furniture truck would be there in an hour, so we had to rearrange my room so we could fit her bed.

"Alright! Let's have the boys move Bella's bed while we hang up Laura's clothes in Bella's closet. Sound good?" Rose said. The boys grumbled.

"Why do we have to move the bed? It's heavy." Edward whined. Us girls rolled our eyes.

"Because you're boys. Duh." Laura giggled. They frowned and trudged upstairs while grumbling to themselves. We laughed and followed them. Luckily, I had a walk-in closet so we would be out of their way. I rolled my eyes as the boys were grunting in "effort". The girls and I were hanging the clothes when we heard a "THUMP". We ran out and saw the most hilarious thing ever.

Emmett was face-up in the floor with the mattress on top of him. Edward and Jasper were sitting on top of him laughing there asses off. Emmett was yelling and trying to thrash around, but the weight of the mattress plus Edward and Jasper muffled his cursing and flailing.

"What the hell happened?" I asked through my giggling.

"Well, we were pushing your mattress when the big idiot," Jasper jammed his thumb behind him, "Slipped and fell with the bed landing on top of him." This brought on a whole new round of laughs.

"Damn it! Get the hell of me! I'm starting to suffocate!" Emmett screamed.

"Ok guys, get this thing off him before he dies."Rose said. The boys got up and heaved the mattress of Emmett. "Thank you." We rolled out eyes as I went back into my closet. Five minutes later, we heard the door bell ring. "Did you guys finish?" Alice asked the guys. They nodded as we went to answer the door. It was the furniture people. I told them where we wanted it and went into the kitchen to make the gang and I some lunch. Edward came in to help me while everyone else watched TV.

"What should we make them?" He asked. I shrugged as I opened the refrigerator door. "How about tuna salad. We'll have to make extra for Emmett. He eats like a horse."

"A big fat horse." I smacked him on the shoulder playfully. "Be nice." I said while giggling. He smiled crookedly at me. I got out the ingredients while he took out the utensils. We started chopping up the pickles and celery. I boiled an egg and chopped that up too. I heard the mattress guys leave. I assembled the bowls and Edward put them on the table. We had put a little extra for Emmett. He can be such a whiner if he doesn't. I rolled my eyes at that thought.

"Lunch is on the table everybody!" I called. As usual, Emmett came running in first. We laughed. Emmett loves his food. He dug in before anybody else was even seated. Rose came in and smacked his head. "Hey! What was that for babe?" He said food still in his mouth. "For being rude. You know it's not nice to run and cut in front of everybody." She said. He lowered his head and said he was sorry. I rolled my eyes and began eating my own salad.

After everything was cleaned up and done I went upstairs to see the new bed. It was placed where I wanted it. The sheets and comforter were placed in the corner. I unwrapped them and started making her bed. I couldn't untangle them. I spent at least five minutes before tangling myself up in them and falling on the floor. "Ow." I said, for I landed on my ass. I heard laughing behind me. I knew it was Edward. "Gee, thanks for the help." He laughed even more before helping me.

After untangling me from the evil sheets, he helped put them on the bed. I left unpacking the blanket to him, so I wouldn't fall and embarrass myself again. We put that on and I put on the pillow case. I was sweating. "We make a good team." I said and we high-fived each other. When our hands collided, I felt an electric shock go down my arm to my shoulder. I looked at Edward to see if he felt it too. His expression told me he did, as he looked confused. I shrugged it off, thinking that we must have rubbed our feet on the carpet to much as we were both shoeless only having our socks on.

I was tired after making the difficult bed. It wouldn't be very difficult for a normal, strong person. But for a weak and small girl like me, it would be difficult. I cursed myself for being so small. Oh well, at least I wasn't fat.

"Ok, now, if you excuse me I would like to take a nap. Could you tell the others that I am sleeping? Oh, and tell Alice to walk me up in an half an hour. Thanks." He nodded and left the room, closing the door behind him. I then fell into a deep sleep

Dream

I was walking down the street with Edward. I had something to tell him and today I would tell him.

"Edward?" I asked him. He looked up at me. "Yeah?" He replied.

"I have something to tell you. I don't know how to say it, so I'll just spit it out. I love you Edward. I fell in love with you." He smiled a huge crooked grin.

"I love you too. Bella, ever since I first saw you. I didn't realize it until the first year of high school." I felt tears well up in my eyes.

"I didn't realize it either, Edward. Until now." I smiled up at him.

"I have something else to tell you." I said.

"What is it?"

"Edward I-"

End Dream

The dream ended before I could tell him. What did I meant to tell him? Most importantly,

What did this dream mean?

A/N: Well, this is my eighth chapter for this story. I know it wasn't very exciting, but this chapter was necessary for the story. And it would clear some things up later on.

Anyway, I was looking at the stats for my stories, and I saw that Bruised and Battered had over 13,000 hits! Thank you so much you guys! This story had well over 9,000 hits too. This means so much to me. I didn't think that I was such a good writer. I still don't. But, if you guys think so then I will continue.

Peace!
