Hey everyone…I was really down this week feeling that my story wasn't as good as I thought. But, because of some comments off some people it really lifted my spirits. Sorry I haven't updated but I haven't had time.

Especially aliceroxs, NEVER123456 and TillITryIllNeverKnow for the really supportive comments – you're the reasons I wrote this chapter :D

After a long time of waiting, we finally heard news. Carlisle walked over to us. "It was lucky we got there when we did. If it was any later she probably would have died. Bella has some serious head injuries and she lost a lot of blood,"

"How could this have happened?" I asked.

"I think I know,"

Edward POV

I sat in the corner of Bella's room, thinking about everything that had happened. It was three days since Rosalie found her. Three days…Rosalie. It should have been me there for her. To be able to comfort her when she was scared. And she was scared. If I hadn't left her in the hands of him, this would have never happened. Bella wouldn't have had to suffer what she did.

When I first saw Bella she looked so fragile. Like any little touch and she would break into a million pieces. She had blood all over her face from her head. And her position…her body in the position it shouldn't be in. Her legs twisted in a painful way.

And now, she looked so peaceful as she lay there on the bed. Like she wasn't really alive; she was sleeping constantly. It almost looked like she was dead. She wasn't dead was she? No, I can't think like that.

"She looks so peaceful," I looked around to find my family standing in the doorway.

"Yeah, she does,"

There was an awkward silence before I started talking again.

"Thank you Rose,"

"Yeah who thought it would be Rose who found Bella!" I looked at Rosalie who smiled sheepishly at everyone. Strange. It's not the kind of thing she would do. Like Rosalie was embarrassed in any situation.

"Carlisle, will Bella be alright?" I was surprised by Emmett speaking now. Maybe everyone is actually starting to like Bella now.

"Well she does have some serious injuries which will take time to heal but I think she will be fine," I was relieved that she would be alright.

"But where will she stay? She can't go back there and her brother doesn't look like he will be around for long,"

"Well it looks like she will have to stay with us,"

Bella POV

Where was I? I couldn't see anything, it was nearly all black. The last bit of light I was trying to hold on to. But I could feel myself slipping. Who is that? I could hear murmurs but I couldn't make out who it was or what they were saying. Probably doctors…Why am I here? I couldn't remember anything. Everything since I got home was all a blur. Urgh, my head was hurting…bad.

Moments later and everything started to become clearer. "Well she does have some serious injuries which will take time to heal but I think she will be fine," Were they talking about me?

"But where will she stay? She can't go back there and her brother doesn't look like he will be around for long," My brother…Jake…what does he have to do with it. And where was he? What did they mean he doesn't look like he will be around for long?

"Well it looks like she will have to stay with us," Who will I be staying with? I wanted to shout out, what were these people talking about.

"Edward are you sure about this?"

Edward…

I tried fighting against the darkness. It didn't seem like I was getting anywhere until my eyes flickered open. "Edward," I called out, though my voice was barely a whisper. I needed to be with him, for him to know that I needed him.

"Bella. I'm here," I looked around to see Rosalie and Emmett surprisingly smiling at me. Esme sitting in the seat smiling as well. Alice was grinning like a maniac with Jasper; I had to laugh on the inside at the sight of her. And my Edward, looking down on me with a worried expression.

"Edward what happened?" I asked him. I had to know why I was in a hospital. He looked around at each member of his family, each with sympathetic looks on their faces. He refused to look at me. "Tell me what happened!" I shouted, a little more forceful than I wanted.

He sighed. "Bella after I left I went home to pack. Rosalie said she was going out for a bit and turns out she went to find you." Rosalie? "Did you just say Rosalie?" I looked at her but she just turned away.

"Yes Rosalie, anyway when she got there you were lying on the floor. The door was open and it looked like you had been beaten up. She rang Carlisle and an ambulance," Ok then…who would beat me up though?

"Bella, who did this to you?" Carlisle asked me. I hadn't noticed he had entered the room.

"I don't know," I said honestly.

"Was it your brother?" Edward said straight out. Was it my brother? I did remember the time Jake would abuse me but he never went this far. "Don't try and speak. I'm fed up of you. Always getting in the way. I'm surprised I didn't get rid of you before," This was definitely it. I was going to die. That was it. That one memory showed it was my brother that had beat me. "Yes," I said weakly.

"We need to call the police," Tears started forming in my eyes. I couldn't help it. How could he do this to me?

"I'm sorry Bella but he can't get away with this," I knew and understood exactly. I wanted him to be punished. I just couldn't believe this was happening.

"No, don't feel sorry. I don't want pity," I took a few minutes to get myself together. "So, how long will I be here for?" I really wanted to get out of here.

"Only a few days, just to make sure you are healed enough," That's was good. Only a few more days stuck in a hospital.

"Wait, where will I go? I'm not eighteen and Jake was my only family around here," I hope I don't have to go to some home until I am eighteen. There wasn't any freedom there.

"Well, seen as you don't have anyone, me and Esme have decided that we will take you in until you are old enough to live on your own," Carlisle told me. I couldn't help smiling. Finally, I was getting a proper home again.

So it is really short and I am sorry that I haven't updated in ages but I will be updating soon so stay tuned. It is your last chance to tell me about a sequel, if you want one or not…Please review xx :D I would really apreciate some...
