Just then my door opened and I saw what I feared.

Jacob was standing there looking very frustrated. He grabbed me by the arm and dragged me out of my room away from Alice.

"YOU BITCH! YOU TOTAL SLUT! I TOLD YOU NOT TO TELL ANYONE BUT YOU JUST COULDN'T KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! YOU WILL REGRET THIS! I PROMISE YOU THAT!"

"Ja..Jacob" I spat out "How did you get in here?"

"Bella, Bella, Bella. I have been watching you for the past few weeks. It was nice to see where you left your spare key when you forgot yours. I used the one under the eve. And I walked in at the right moment. Hearing you yell that you knew you were raped. Aren't you glad it was me and not your mother? But you remember what I said at the dance don't you? If you told anyone I would be seeing you again."

"I'm sorry Jacob but she is my best friend. She knew I was hiding something and I can't lie to her."

"Well you need to learn, don't you?"

"She is like my sister. Hiding things from her is impossible! I'm sorry Jacob!"

"Well I guess I can forgive you. If you give me a little kiss and meet me tomorrow."

I had no other choice I had to agree. So I gave him a kiss and asked him where to meet him. He told me where and then he left. I went back to Alice and explained what had happened, with tears in my eyes.

"Bells, this is perfect. We can tell the cops and they can follow you then take him in!"

"I can't Ali! You don't know what he is capable of! He has friends that will bail him out! And he isn't stupid! The cops are going to have a hard time following me! I'm sure of it…"

"Bells, please! I'm worried for you! You're like a sister to me! I don't want to see you get hurt!"

"I know Ali! But I will be fine! I promise you! If I do as he says I know I will be OK. Alright?"

"OK Bells. If you say so. I just hope it will be OK. I don't want to find your body dead or hear about it on the news! I love you Bells"

"You won't! I promise! I know what to do to calm him down! I just have to agree with what he says and do what he says. I love you to Ali and I love that you're worrying about me! But you don't have to! I can look after myself!"

"OK. Well I should head home. Are you going to be OK?" Alice asked me as she got up

"Yeah. I will be fine. Mum's due home in a few hours. I have home work to do. So I will be busy"

"OK. I will see you tomorrow Bells" she said as she hugged me and left.

I watched her leave and then went to my bathroom to wash my face. I didn't know what to do. I was only 10. I couldn't possibly know. I was just trying to be brave around my friend. All I did know was that Jacob knew what to do, and if I wanted to get through it, I would have to agree to whatever it was that Jacob said. For the first time since this whole ordeal had happened, I was truly worried for my safety. I didn't know if I would make it through the meeting with Jacob. I didn't know when the next time I would see my mum would be. I didn't know when I would see Alice. But I knew that if I wanted to keep them safe, I had to go through with it. Mum didn't come home, so I just made some noodles and went to my room to work on my homework.

The next morning I woke up, confused and rolled over. I didn't remember making it to my bed last night. I instantly jumped up when I felt something next to me. I looked down in my bed and nearly screamed. There lying practically lying naked in my bed was the worst sight I could see. Jacob. I tried to get out of bed without him knowing. I was worried that my mum would find out. As I slid to the edge of the bed and got up his hand grabbed my ass and I screamed.

"What are you doing Jacob? My mum is here! She will scream if she sees you here." I asked him

"No she won't. She left a message on the home phone for you last night. You'd fallen asleep so you never got it. She said she was at Phil's and she would be home late afternoon today. I moved you to your bed. And before you worry, we will have time for our little session. Although maybe we should have a little taster of what we will be doing when I pick you up today."

"Jacob, please! I can't! I need to be in my right mind for school. If I'm not, more than just Alice will find out. And I won't be able to hide it. I'm only 10. I don't know what's going on! I'm scared! And I can't do this right now!"

"Its OK babe. We can just do it later. You don't need to know what is going on. All you need to know is that being with me is the best thing to happen to you. And that I will make you feel special. The way you deserve." he said as he pulled me to him and gave me a kiss.

I didn't know if he was just saying that or if he actually meant it. I remembered him calling me a slut and bitch. And that I was getting what I deserved. But then he says that he would make me feel special. I was confused. I couldn't tell anyone. I knew if I did there was a chance he would only hurt me more! I was so scared. But I had to move on. Live the day and take it the way it came. I had to try my hardest to fake a smile. I walked out of my house and on to my bus. Today I would hide it all. I would smile and laugh and be a happy 10 year old.

So there we have it. Not a very pretty chapter... Then again this story isn't meant to be pretty...
