A/N Here is chapter five everyone! The song is Truth by Seether, ENJOY!

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

If I gave you the truth, would it keep you alive? Though I'm closer to wrong; I'm no further from right. And now I'm convinced on the inside that something's wrong with me, Convinced on the inside, you're so much more than me.
Yeah
No there's nothing you say that can salvage the lie; But I'm trying to keep my intentions disguised. And now I'm deprived of my conscience and something's got to give, Deprived of my conscience; this all belongs to me, yeah.
I'm beaten down again, I belong to them. Beaten down again, I've failed you. I'm weaker now my friend, I belong to them. Beaten down again, I've failed you.
The deception you show is your own parasite, just a word of advice you can heed if you like. And now I'm convinced on the inside that something's wrong with me, Convinced on the inside, you're so much more than me.
Yeah
I'm beaten down again, I belong to them. Beaten down again, I've failed you. I'm weaker now my friend, I belong to them. Beaten down again, I've failed you.
I'm beaten down again, I belong to them. Beaten down again, I've failed you. I'm weaker now my friend, I belong to them. Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm beaten down
I'm beaten down
I'm beaten down
I'm beaten down
Yeah

Edward's POV

I picked up Bella and she seemed really anxious about something, and Alice was singing in her head all day trying to keep something from me. Bella's heart began to flutter when I pulled up in front of her house. "Bella are you okay?" I asked. She looked up at me in surprise. "Yes I'm fine." She said with wide innocent eyes. I smiled at her then the next thing she knew I was opening her door for her. I knew since last night with James she MUST be wondering what we were, and I planned on telling her if she ever asked. That's why I didn't bother to go at a human pace when there wasn't anyone looking; I mean seriously it's got to be just eating at her!

She thanked me and let me inside, then sat on the couch and patted the spot next to her for me to sit down. I looked at her curiously but sat down next to her like she wanted me to. "Edward… First I want to let you know that to me it doesn't matter what you are, but I am curious. I know it sounds rude saying it like that but I can't really think of any other way to say it." She said not looking at me but looking at her hands and biting her bottom lip. She was beat red too. It doesn't matter to her what I am? Well, I guess we are just going to have to see about that one. "Bella, dear, are you sure you want to know?" I asked her. She nodded. I sighed, "Alright, I will tell you, under one condition." I said. She looked up at me, "What condition?" she asked me. "You have to look at me the entire time." I said with a smile. How else would I be able to gage her reaction if I couldn't see her face? She blushed, "Okay." She said.

I nodded then took a deep unnecessary breath. "Bella, I'm a vampire." I told her. She didn't look all that surprised, "So is the rest of my family, but we are what we like to call Vegetarians. We don't drink human blood, we drink the blood of animals." I continued. She nodded with a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. She must be happy about our diet. "But there are others out there, they aren't like us. They are murderers, they kill and drink the blood of humans, and they enjoy it. Some, even make a game out of it." I told her. "James." She whispered, "but he was human when he… when I saw him last." She said catching herself. I took her hands in mine. "Bella, now I want to ask something of you, I will tell you anything and everything, I will take you anywhere you want to go, give you whatever you want, as long as you tell me what James did to you." I practically begged.

She turned beat red and began looking around. She didn't look down, but she looked anywhere but my eyes. "Will you promise not to tell anyone?" she whispered. I put my hand under her chin, "I promise, unless you ask me too, no one will ever hear a word from me about it." I said. She nodded stiffly. "Edward, I'm broken, I'm damaged. About a year ago, I was going out with a friend of mine, and I had left her house and began going home. I didn't think anything of it, I had walked down those streets many times in the day light." She began, she didn't look like she was looking at me anymore; she looked like Alice looked when Alice was in a vision. "I went around the corner, and there were three guys standing there leaning against the wall with bottles of whisky in their hands. You could just smell it on them. When they saw me they began with whistling and cat calling. I don't really know why, I'm not really a sight to see." She continued; I could feel my hands curl into fists all on their own. She was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! How could she think otherwise?

"Then they blocked my path. They pushed me into the wall, nearly knocking me out. They were so much bigger than I was… they ripped off my clothes, rapped me, and worst of all," She said in a whisper, then turned from me, her back facing me, and pulled her shirt up, "They liked knives." She whispered; I could hear the tears falling down her cheeks. I looked at her back, and if I could throw up I would. They had literally carved things in her back. I had to concentrate really hard on the growl I could feel building up in my chest. They carved things like the words "Slut" "Skank" "Whore" and "Bitch." on her back. "I blacked out after they left me bleeding on the streets. When I woke up Charlie and Rene were standing on either side of my bed holding my hands… The doctors told me I would never be able to have children… I couldn't walk for two months because of it." She finally ended her story. She pulled her shirt back down and looked at me, she was crying, and I couldn't help what I did next.

I pulled her close to me, having her in my lap and her head on my chest. I rocked her back and forth while she cried, "Shhh Bella its okay, I'm sorry, I won't make you talk about it again, I'm so sorry." I told her over and over as she continued to cry. I knew two things were certain at this moment, one, I would never be able to let Bella go. She was my everything, my whole world, I would never be able to live without her; I was completely and totally in love with her. And two, I would do everything in my power to find those other men, and make sure they meet some sort of justice. Carlisle would help me, I'm sure he would be able to get a hold of her records to find out. So, I wouldn't really be breaking my promise to Bella.

I sighed and rested my head on top of Bella's. She was still crying softly, but I was content in just holding her, even though the fact that she was crying was freaking killing me. I rubbed small circles on her back and rocked her back and forth. I vowed that I would never let anyone hurt her ever again. I would never ever leave her side, unless she asked me to.

Bella's POV

I did it. I finally confided in someone about what happened to me. Why wasn't he running though? That's what I expected, I expected him to lose interest in me and run off. But here he was, comforting me, letting me ruin his shirt with my tears, and telling me that everything was going to be okay, and he would never make me talk about it again. He did care, I noticed. Not just anyone would go up against James for me. And not everyone just held someone while they cried. I laid there in his arms crying for I don't know how long, but I didn't want to let go of him, I never wanted to let him go, ever.

"Bella I think you should eat." Edward said softly after I had stopped crying. "I'm not hungry." I said with a pout, hoping he wouldn't catch onto my lie. But of course, my stomach betrayed me and he chuckled. "Dinner time for the human." He said and the next thing I knew I was sitting in a chair in the kitchen. My head spun slightly. Then, he began to take things out and cook. "What are you doing?" I asked him. "Why, my dear, I am making you dinner." He said and flashed me a crooked grin.

I watched him closely the entire time. He was pretty fast, and he seemed to know what he was doing. By the time he was done I had a plate of Mushroom Ravioli in front of me and a plate of it in the microwave for Charlie. I took a bite and instantly fell in love. This guy could cook. "Thank you," I said with a contented sigh. "Is it good?" he asked furrowing his eyebrows together. I nodded and picked up a piece with my fork and offered it to him.

He wrinkled up his nose and shook his head, "No, thank you Bella." He said. I frowned. "You don't eat food?" I asked. He chuckled, "No dear, I only drink blood." He said. I didn't say it but I mouthed "O" and began to eat again. He watched me eat, and if I didn't know he was a Vampire I would feel very self conscious, but for some reason I didn't. Probably because he can't eat anyways.

He stayed with me downstairs for as long as Charlie would allow it, then when I went upstairs I found him sprawled out on my bed with a mischievous grin on his face. "How did you get in here?" I asked him. "I climbed in through your bedroom window." He said innocently. I giggled. I stopped myself in my tracks. Did I, Bella Marie Swan, just… giggle? OH MY GOD I DID!! I stood there staring at Edward terrified, then the next thing I know he looked almost frightened, "Did you not want me here?" he asked quietly, "No no! I do!" I reassured him, "It's just… I giggled." I tried to explain. I sounded stupid even to myself. But I haven't ever giggled that I can remember. He smiled at me and shook his head then opened his arms up wide for me. "Silly Bella." He murmured into my hair. He began to rock me back and forth then began to hum. Soon, I was fast asleep.
