"Bailey?" I asked.

"Yeah, Seth?"

"Did you have a good time tonight?"

"Yes, it was amazing. Turn left." She said. "Seth, can I tell you something? More like ask?" Bailey sounded concerned.

"Go ahead, shoot." I said, my hands tensing on the wheels.

"Um, how do I phrase this? What if you had a secret that could potentially hurt yourself?" She looked like she was on the verge of tears.

"Well, I would say, tell the person to tell someone they deeply trust." I played around the words, carefully.

"Turn right. Ok here's my stop. Well, let me show you something." She was biting her bottom lip. She sucked in a breath and rolled up her shirtsleeve. She had big red bruises, and- what looked like scratch marks- ringed around her shoulder and upper arm. Tears started rolling down her face. I lightly brushed them away, but let my hand stay on her cheek.

"Who did this?" I demanded.

"He did." She replied. I hoped this wasn't going to be like a Law and Order ordeal.

"Brother?" no response. "Dad?" I felt her nod under my touch.

"Can we talk somewhere else? I know the perfect spot." Her voice broke on the last part.

"Sure." She came around to the driver's door and waited. I let her lead me silently to what smelled like a forest. Night was coming so there wasn't much light. She led me to a tree and slumped into it and sobbed. I sat next to her and let her tears stain my shirt. "I'm really sorry I'm dumping this on you." She mumbled into my shoulder.

"I don't mind." I assure her stroking her hair. "You and Nessie are the only ones who know." She said looking at me for the first time since we left the Cullen's. I put my hand under her chin forcing her to look at me. She tried to pull away so I tightened my grip.

"Hey, hey, hey. It'll be okay. I'll protect you." We sat no one speaking for a while.

"I believe you." She sighed. I moved my hand from her chin to her jaw. "I think I might wanna get home. My brother will get curious." She said straightening up. I made small talk to keep Bailey from crying. We reached the door and I was going to kiss her.

"Seth? Thanks for letting me vent. I needed that." That was the truth.

"You welcome." he said. He was so nice. Then he leaned in and kissed me. I stood there for a second and found out that I was kissing him back. When we parted we were holding hands.

"Night, Seth." I said releasing his hands.

"Night, Bailey." He smiled.

"You can call me Bail, I really don't mind." I told him.

"Ok, night Bail." He smiled. He had such a sweet smile. I watched him get in Leah's car and drive back home.
