Edwards POV

I took my headphones off and headed to the bathroom to try and clear my head. All I could think about was Bella and how horrible of a time she must have been having downstairs at Alice's stupid party. I walked into the bathroom turned on the sink and proceeded to splash my face with the cold water. After feeling no relief I decided no peace of mind was going to come to me unless I went downstairs and checked on Bella and maybe even tried to rescue her from the party, though I was not sure how I planned to do that.

As I opened the bathroom door, I heard what sounded like someone sobbing. I concentrated to try and pin point the sound in my room over the loud music blaring from downstairs. I finally realized it was coming from my closest and immediately knew who it was. I ran to the closest and flung open the doors to find a weeping Bella crumpled on the floor. Though, once I had wiped open the doors I regretted being so careless because Bella seemed to flinch and cower into the corner and hide her face even more. I realized this was not the best way to approach someone who most likely was having a mental break down. I immediately put my hands up in the air to try and show her I meant no harm and then slowly lowered myself to the ground and whispered

"Bella, its okay, it's just me," and yet I got no response.

I then reached out my hand and slowly put it on her back and surprisingly she did not flinch. In fact, she almost immediately latched onto my arm and pulled me closer. I, in return, pulled her into my lap and hugged her tightly. She cried and cried into my chest and her fists were clutching onto my shirt.

We sat there for at least a half an hour while Bella cried and I did the only thing I could, and that was to hold her and hold her tightly. She finally seemed to be getting control of herself and she slowly loosened her grip on my shirt, but only momentarily as she reached out and shut the closest door. She looked up at me with her tear stained face and blood shot red eyes and seemed like she was about to say something when suddenly she seemed to lose it again and she began to cry. I felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest. Because I was holding an angel, a very broken angel that was hurting in a way no one should ever have to hurt.

After another 15 minutes of me just holding Bella, she seemed to being getting herself more under control and then eventually looked at me again. Her eyes looked empty and I felt like I was looking into a bottomless pit. Bella seemed to have lost what little spark she still had left, she seemed to be begging for someone to put her back together again. I could not take it any more so I slowly raised my hand and wiped away the tears from her beautiful pained face.

She broke the silence when she looked at me and stared into my eyes and asked "Why?"

"Why what?" I asked truly confused.

"Why are you so nice to me?…Why do you care?…Why do you make me feel like everything is okay that…that..." and unable to finish her sentence Bella began to cry again.

I lifted Bella's chin gently back up so that she could see my face as I said this "Because no one and especially someone as kind, smart, and beautiful as you should ever have to go through what you have gone through…No one should ever feel as worthless as he has made you feel….No one should ever lay a hand on you." I said staring into her dark brown eyes, searchin for that little ficker of hope, and trying to convince her how true these words were.

At this, Bella just looked at me and then held tighter to me and eventually said the words I had been waiting for what seemed like forever come out of her mouth.

"I need to talk to someone…Can I talk to you about Phil?"

I felt overwhelming joy…Bella was finally opening up to me and finally she felt she could trust someone and that someone was me.

"Of course…."

"Well, I do not know where to start really but I guess the best place as any is in the beginning…"

Well that is my chapter for today….i know it is kind of annoying where I left it but I am in a horrible mood today because I have been put on voice rest for at least a month and most likely more because there are Nodes on my vocal cords and my right vocal cord is extremely swollen…but there is good news that comes along with that which is that I will have more time to write since I am going to have quit Voci, stop singing in my band for a while, and stop my voice lessons…and also at least I did not leave it where I was originally going to leave it….originally I was going to stop it at "At this Bella just looked at me and then held tighter to me and eventually said the words I had been waiting for what seemed like forever come out of her mouth."…so see I am not really that evil I did not leave you wonder what exactly she was going to say…but right now I am so tired and sick it is not even funny so I am going to try to go to sleep…hopefully I will update tomorrow but only if I am in a better mood other wise it will actually who am I kidding if I am in bad mood it will probably come out better…so most likely I will update tomorrow…yippee!
