"Bella?!" I Heard Emmett call me from far away frantically. I lifted my head and opened my eyes, and next thing I knew I was enveloped in one of Emmett's hugs.

"What are you doing here Bella?! Come on, let's get you in the car, or else you are going to get a cold," he told me. I nodded, and before I knew what was happening, he was carrying me bridal style to the car.

When he settled me in the passenger seat, and buckled me like a little baby, he got in the Jeep, and turned on the heater. He turned to look at me while starting the engine and pulling out of the parking lot.

"Bells, what happened? Why were you crying, under the rain, and alone?" he asked me worried. I sniffled a little bit before answering.

"I-I was walking o-out of the school when S-Shawn caught up with me. H-He told m-me he would do a-anything to get me back," I cried. Emmett had this murderous look on his face, but before he could say anything, I continued. "But that is not the worst part, Edward saw us. He thinks I don't like him!" I cried. Emmett's face softened, and was about to speak again before I kept speaking. "I love him, Emmy." I whispered. The Jeep halted to a stop and Emmett's eyes almost bugged out of its sockets.

"You what?!" he hissed. I flinched a little bit, but repeated.

"I love him, Emmett. I-I, don't know what to do," I cried again. Emmett sighed, but kept driving. When we got home, he gave me another hug, told me everything would be alright, and we dashed in the house. Charlie wasn't home yet; he was working the late-night shift again.

When I got to finally seat and read a book, the bell rang. Great… When I opened the door, I was shocked to the core to find Alice…. looking angry as hell.

"Alice?" I asked shyly.

"Hello, Bella. Can I come in?" she asked. I simply nodded, and to say I was scared of her was an understandment. She went past me, and sat on the couch. I followed suit, and took the seat in front of her.

"WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BROTHER?!" she yelled. I was shocked at first, of course, but then it was washed with guilt. Another tear fell down my cheek, and Alice narrowed her eyes at me.

"Tears do not work on me, slut," she said angrily. I looked at her shocked at first, then followed by anger and hurt.

"SLUT?! And exactly, Alice, what did I do to be called that?" I asked angrily. She was impressed by my outburst, but kept a straight face.

"What did you do? You went around kissing other guys, leaving my poor brother broken hearted," she said in a cold tone.

"Guys? Alice, I did not kiss him. I never intended to, and if he would have let me move, I would have run after Edward," I whispered harshly.

"Yeah, right," she snorted.

"Alice, that guy Edward saw me with, is called Shawn Thomson. I knew him from back in Virginia, we have long, awful history together," I said.

"What kind of history, huh? He broke up with you? Oh, poor you…" she faked crying. That did it.

"No, Alice, it is much more than that. That problem today, before? The problem was Shawn. He literally destroyed me, Alice, and he is dangerous." I told her. A tear escaped my eye again, and I did not try to hide it.

"Dangerous how? He'll break up with you again?" she mocked me. I did not know what to do, so I just decided to flat out tell her.

"No, Alice, I mean dangerous for you, me, everyone." I said to her. She huffed and stood up.

"I do not want you to talk to me or Edward. And I will tell Jasper and Rosalie of what you did, I can promise you as much," and with that she left.

I ran upstairs, and knocked desperately on Emmett's door. It flew open, and Emmett looked sweaty, but I did not care, I threw my arms around his neck and cried in his arms all night.

Next morning I got ready for school, but of course not before speaking to Alice. She was reading a magazine on the couch.

"Alice, where were you last night?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow.

"I went to speak to Bella…" she whispered.

"YOU DID WHAT?" I screamed at her. She did not even flinch.

"I went to set her straight. She kept saying how the guy forced her to, and that he was dangerous, and some nonsense. She looked broken, I'll give her that, but for what I will never know…" she said. I did not know whether to believe Bella's words or not.

When we got to school, Emmett's Jeep was in the parking lot. He looked devastated, and he had under his arm a small figure. It turns out the figure was Bella. She looked like, like a zombie. Not bad, physically, but her cheerful being no longer showed. Emmett caught me staring, and gave me a look that said 'you did this to her', even though there was no way I would have done that. She did it to me. Bella glanced up, saw me, and her beautiful brown eyes seemed to be dead. A tear escaped her eye, and I felt incredibly guilty. What if what she had told Alice was the truth? No, I would not dwell on that thought.

When it was time for lunch, I saw that it was like the group had slit up. On one table, there was Rosalie, Emmett and Bella. On the other there was Alice, Jasper, and me.

"What is up with the slit up?" I asked. Jasper was the one to answer.

"Well, Rosalie would not let go of Emmett, and Emmett of Bella," he said.

"And you?" I asked curiously.

"Well, I know what happened. And I am not sure whether what Bella said is a lie or not, but I would not have let you two on your own…" he said winking at Alice.

"But wont that cause trouble with your sister?" I asked.

"Nah, she and I are cool. Between her and I there is no fight going on, so…" he trailed off. I nodded and glanced at my food. All of a sudden I did not feel hungry.

A week went by since the whole fight, and Rose and Emmett became a couple. They were a perfect couple, and I felt really happy for my brother. Two Mondays after, I was heading out of the school, when a hand gripped my wrist. I was heading home alone, since Emmett was going to give Rose a ride. I got really scared when I saw it was none other than Shawn.

"Shawn, what do I owe this pleasure?" I said with sarcasm.

"Now, now, we have no need to be sarcastic. I was just swinging by to remind you, that you and I still need to have a little fun…" he said. I cringed internally, because I knew what was about to come.

He shoved me in my car, on the passenger seat, and he drove us to my house. I was crying the whole ride over there, and when Shawn pulled to a stop, he told me if I told anyone, he would do something much worse. I gulped and nodded. He led me in the house, and I began to feel more afraid.

"Come," he demanded huskily. I went to him slowly, crying, hoping Emmett would be fast getting home.

Shawn threw me in the bed, and I tried to fight him off, but he hit me.

"STOP MOVING!" he ordered. I cried again, but this time he shut my mouth with his hand. I closed my eyes, feeling already the air from the lost of clothes. His weight was heavy on me, and I kept crying with all I had. When his hands reached for my pants, I felt his weight off me. I opened my eyes, to reveal a murderous looking Emmett. You see, he took me in the house, alright, but, mistake number one, he left the door opened. I always left it closed. Mistake number 2; he ripped my coat off my shoulders and left it in the living room. And mistake number 3; he left my bedroom door open. And you are out! Emmett knew about all of my habits, so he knew when something was wrong. So yes, Shawn, you did not think this through.

"WHAT IN THE FUCKING HELL DO YOU YHINK YOU ARE DOING?!" Emmett yelled. I, myself, flinched. Emmett kept punching Shawn everywhere he could reach, but Shawn ran away, and you could see him run through the window in the direction of the school. I started crying again, but this time from being scared and thankfulness toward Emmett.

"I am so sorry Bella. I should have known better than to leave you alone," Emmet said holding me tight.

"I-It's okay, E-Emmett," I said.

The next morning, people were staring at me, probably because I had a huge bruise on the cheek, a gift from Shawn. I let it be, pretending nothing was going on, and kept on with my day.

APOV

Today I almost cried. I saw Bella with a bruise on the cheek, and not one that she could have given herself. Somebody had hit her, I realized. But who? Emmett loves her too much, Chief Swan is a cop, and not only does he know what the consequences are, and he praised Bella like she was his golden trophy.

I decided I was going to do something about it, and the only way was to speak to her. To Rosalie, of course, I mean.

"Rose?" I asked her.

"Yeah, Alice?" she asked.

"Why does Bella have a bruise on the cheek?" I asked a bit worried.

"I honestly don't know. But, it must have been something. Emmett told me from now on he would have to bring Bella along with him to leave me at home. I am guessing something happened yesterday, and Bella has to be looked after a lot. Also, he kept shooting daggers at the Shawn guy all day," she said. I nodded and kept walking to my next class.

Something was up, I knew as far. And it had something to do with this Shawn. 'He literally destroyed me, Alice, and he is dangerous', Bella had said about Shawn. What had she meant? Could it mean that… Shawn did this to her? I was going to find out soon enough, I knew as much.

Weeks went by, and every day I felt myself die. I had not spoken to Bella for 3 weeks, and two weeks ago she came to school with a bruise on the cheek. I was worried about her, and I missed her a lot. I tried to make myself forget about her, but I just, couldn't.

One Wednesday I decided to go to a meadow I found when I was little, to think. I had to do something; I just couldn't keep moping around for Bella. So, on that Wednesday afternoon after school, I went to my special meadow.

BPOV

Today I wanted to go hiking, but Emmett would not let me. I begged, and begged, until he finally gave up. But he told me not to go far, and to take with me a flashlight and my cell. I obliged, and went hiking to the woods beside my house. I found a beautiful meadow, one that had thousands of flowers scattered everywhere, and that looked beautiful. I sat in the middle, staring at a pretty daisy, and a tear fell on my cheek. I had been thinking again about Edward and the whole Shawn problem.

"Bella?" a velvety voice asked from behind me. It could only belong to one person: Edward.
