I keep forgetting my disclaimer :P

DISCLAIMER- i do not own twilight or any of its characters it is the work of the wonderful s.m


The first thing I became aware of was the soft beeping. The second thing was the hot sweaty hands my right hand was enclosed in. When I became aware of both those things I remembered everything... well almost everything.
I jerked my whole body away from those dreaded hands, the sudden movement making my head spin and my stomach lurched. I gagged and threw up.
Nothing came up though so I dry retched a couple of times and my god it hurt! My head hurt, my stomach hurt, my throat hurt. Everything hurt!
I slowly opened my eyes, damp from the tears that were flooding from them.
"Hey." The hands found mine again but this time I didn't pull away instead I collapsed into their owners arms.
"Edward," I rasped clinging onto my husband like he would disappear if I let go.
"Ssh," he murmured gently rubbing my back. "It's okay, Bella."
He held a glass of water to my lips helping me drink and even though I could only manage a few sips it felt so much better.
I slowly leaned back against the head of my hospital bed, keeping a firm grip on Edward's hand.
"What... what happened? Where's..." I drifted off.
"He's down the hall. Think he has a concussion or something I didn't bother to ask," he said, his eyes glued to my face as his thumb drew small circles on the back of my hand.
"Concussion?" I asked struggling to remember anything that would lead to him getting a concussion.
"I punched him, he fell over, hit his head on the edge of a chair."
I moved my eyes from our intertwined hands to his face and for the first time noticed his black eye and split lip.
I touched his lip gently with my fingers. Suddenly it hit me that this was my fault. If I hadn't been so careless...
"Edward, I'm so sorry," I sobbed, tears started leaking from my eyes again. "I was only going to have a couple... I don't even remember finishing my second I-" he silenced me with a kiss.
"Ssh, Bella."
I looked down at the blanket covering my legs not wanting to look at his face. The guilt was too much. I couldn't even remember drinking much or going home with James which I had clearly done both. Unless my drink had been spiked and James had carried me out of the club and back to his house. That was possible but unlikely. And god knows what happened between us before I woke up half sober.
"Hey, love. It wasn't your fault," he insisted brushing a strand of hair from my face and tucking it gently behind my ear.
"It..." I drifted off again, my guilt overwhelming me as I screwed my eyes shut.
"When I got to you, after I knocked him out, I found you unconscious-"
"He punched me," I explained opening my eyes again.
Edward ignored me. "I was scared... I thought you were dead-" his voice broke and he closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them again they flashed with rage andI flinched at the vehemence in his voice as he continued. "Don't ever do that to me again, Bella! I thought I was going to lose you..." he closed his eyes again and didn't open them this time.
"I'm sorry," I whispered but no sound came out.
We sat in silence for a few minutes before he opened his eyes again and raised my hand to his lips kissing it absently. "They had to flush out your stomach." I opened my mouth to try apologising again but he held up his free hand to stop me." They found barely any alcohol... just drugs."
My eyes widened. I had never taken drugs in my life.
"I don't know what I was thinking... clearly I wasn't... I don't even remember," I stuttered trying to come up with a reason for my actions.
"Bella, hush. Your drink was spiked."
"I'm..." Wait what? That made sense but who? "Oh. The bartender; I told him to surprise me. I knew that was a mistake."
"No," he said simply.
"What?"
"No."
"I did, I told him... oh you mean no as in nooo!" I said this last no in a shocked voice then covered my mouth and gasped. "I know it was stupid but I wasn't really thinking about that at the time."
"Bella, it wasn't him."
"Then who? James?" That made even more sense. Maybe my theory from before was correct.
Edw

ard nodded sighing sadly.
I felt another tear run down my face and he wrapped his long arms round me letting me cry into his shoulder for a few minutes.
"So what's going to happen to him now?"
"Well the cops searched his house."
"And?"
"He had the nerve to tape it," Edward said through gritted teeth. "They have all the evidence they needed from the camera, your stomach and his pocket."
"His pocket"
"The drugs."
"Oh."
"They also found other tapes." I gasped realising what he meant by that. "Three girls. Raped and murdered all caught on tape."
"Oh my god," I breathed.
"There was nearly four..." he drifted off and I kissed his lips gently as tears welled up in his eyes. "I trusted him..." Edward sighed again and wiped his eyes putting on a brave face. "I was freaking out when you didn't come home and I needed someone to talk to... To convince me I was just being completely paranoid."
I opened my mouth to say something but stopped when the door opened.
"Hey, Bella," Jasper smiled as he walked in and pulled up a seat next to Edward.
"Hey." I tried a smile but I think it came out as more of a grimace. I wasn't in the mood to smile.
Jasper was Edward's bother in-law. He had been in the military but when his wife, Alice, fell pregnant he decided to join the police force to be closer to home.
"What's the news?" Edward asked
"He's been deemed fit to leave hospital so at about midday he's going to be discharged and start his living hell."
Edward sighed relieved and kissed my forehead.
Jasper's eyes studied my face for a second before he said, "hope he fucking rots in there!"
"Me too," Edward agreed quietly, "me too."
