Hey peoples! i got another chapter up! its a pretty long one, in fact i wanted to make it longer, but decided to save up some of the good stuff for the next chapters! this was one of the trickiest chapters to write. It was hard to write in different POV's but on the other hand, it was a lot of fun. it was nice to see a different perspective other than Bella and Edwards.

if you want to see a sneak peak of the next chapter, just message me or leave me a review telling me! :)

How Did I Fall in Love With You

Chapter 30

Bella POV

It seemed as time began to drag on the whole in my heart was getting bigger by the minuet. The feeling was excruciating, and the pain was unbearable. I couldn't breathe properly, but I forced myself to at least walk away.

I ran out to the street where I was filled with the lights and loud sounds of New York. People were filing in, so many that I was being dragged into the tornado of humans. I tried multiple times to wave my hand and try to signal a taxi, but gave up soon. I knew that I had no energy to do anything right now but be in the comfort of my bed at home. My real home.

I decided to just walk the streets and roam around and think. I didn't care where it lead me, I just needed some time alone. Looking around my scenery, it was dark at night. Pitch black, except for the night lamps that provided light in the streets.

It was cold and I felt frozen. But the pain was no were as close to what my heart felt at the moment.

It felt as if I was walking longer than I could possibly imagine. I just continued to stare at the floor, letting the trail of tears go down my face. I didn't even notice that I suddenly was walking into an alley that had no people in it. It was darker than the busy streets, but light enough for me to see. I had no idea where I was at the moment.

"Hey Baby, how's it going?" a voice of a man sounding close to me.

"Come here sweet lips. You know your beautiful. Very sexy." another one commented.

I looked up to find a group of men, invading my personal space. Oh god please don't let anything bad happen to me and my babies, I prayed silently to god.

"please leave me alone." my voice sounded courageous but you could still hear the panic in it.

"I'm afraid I cant do that. You look very sexy in your outfit, baby." I took a good look at the man. He seemed dark, just by the sound of his voice. He was tall, taller than my by a good few inches. He had black hair with matching blue piercing eyes, wearing plane old blue jeans and a wife beater.

"please." I beg, with what was left of my voice.

The man and his posse approached closer, if it were possible. He swept away a lock of my hair that was covering my face and devilishly smiled.

"I'm going to take care of you. don't worry about it." he whispered sending shivers down my spine.

I closed my eyes and continued prayed that this would go away. That everything that happened in this disastrous day was just a dream and nothing actually happened. But lets face reality, this was real and this was happening.

The moment my eyes opened the group of men disappeared as a car came vastly and dangerously into the alley.

"Bella! Bella! Come on lets get in the car!" to my surprise Emmett exited the car and lifted me in his shoulders seeing that I was in a state of shock at the moment.

Emmett placed me into the back seat with Jasper and Rose, that both had a shocked expression. The car started to drive faster than the appropriate speed limit. Rose took me into her arms and rubbed my hair gently, as if knowing that I was about to burst into tears again.

"Bella are you okay? I should go back and rip their heads off and burn the pieces. Fucking ass wholes." Emmett asked with so much anger in his voice. I never knew that he could be so frightening.

"yeah, I'm okay. They didn't touch me. Thanks Em." My voice sounding weak and small.

"thank god we found you, just in time. What if we didn't get there sooner? You could have been hurt or even worse raped!" Rose said.

"I know I'm so sorry. I had no idea where I was going and I just realized that I was there." I was sobbing into Rose's shirt and probably ruining it with my tears.

"its gonna be okay Bells. Your safe now. That's what matters the most." Jasper said patting my head gently.

"thank you so much you guys, I have no idea how to thank you." I managed to get out through my tears.

"come on lets go to the hotel and call it a night." Emmett suggested.

I just nodded, knowing that I couldn't find my voice even if I tried.

We arrived at the hotel Alice booked for us and Emmett gave the rented car to the Valet boy, giving him straight instructions not to get any damage on it. Rose helped into my room and got me into my bed. I didn't even care that I was dirty, all I wanted was to be in the comfort of a bed.

"Bella what happened?" Rose asked softly.

I stared out the window, trying to stop the tears from falling again down my face.

"Bella you can trust me you know that? You can also talk to me about anything. I'll always be here for you, Bells."

I looked at her with straight grieving eyes. She saw how much of pain I was in by the looking just at me eyes.

"I went to see him, and when I got there he was in the arms of another woman. But not just any other woman, his perfect and flawless ex girlfriend. She was almost naked, it was obvious what happened. He tried to tell me that it was all a misunderstanding and that she came onto him. I really want to believe him, but I just don't know how. Edward had a reputation of countless women in his life and I wonder if I was just one of them. I love him so much that it hurts. What if everything we had was all just a lie, that it was all fake?" I explained.

I was opening my heart to Rose and letting her see what was happening in my life. I needed someone other than myself to talk to.

"Bella, Edward loves you with all his heart. I know that he could never do that to you. Please listen to him, before you do anything irrational. I know he has his reasons." Rose started to rub my arm, a comfort gesture.

"No Rose you don't understand." I got up from the bed and went out to the balcony of the room.

"Bella, I know you might be in pain, but listen to him. All this stress is bad for you and the babies. Think about the twins that are inside of you." Rose did have a point. I love the babies already. They suddenly became my life.

"I know Rose and I'm sorry for being so careless and just thinking about myself. I honestly didn't know where I was and I just ended up in the alley. I'm sorry."

"shhh, its okay. The good thing is that you weren't harmed and neither were the babies." Rose pulled me into a comforting hug.

"I just don't know Rose. He's my life and I cant live without him. I'll simply die if he's not with me."

"it will be okay, Bella. I know it. Just talk to him, okay? Even if its not now, when the times ready talk to him."

I nodded and just hugged Rose tightly. These were times that I was truly lucky to have a friend like Rosalie.

Rosalie POV

When Bella finally fell asleep after crying, god knows how long. I carefully set her into the bed. I went out of her room and went to the kitchen to get a drink of water.

"Hey babe. Is she okay?" Emmett asked across the counter staring at the TV. It was obvious that he wasn't really watching.

"how is she?" Jasper asked from the seat next to Emmett.

"yeah, she'll be okay. She just needs to rest right now. The stress is bad for her and the babies." I replied to both of them and inched myself closer to Emmett and wrapped my arms around him.

"that's good. I'm glad she's alright." Jasper sighed and put his hands onto his head, leaning on the counter.

I nodded and I was sure glad that nothing bad happened to my best friend.

"I cant believe that she almost got raped. Rose it's a good thing we got there in time, or who knows what would have happened." Emmett whispered in my ear. I knew that Bella meant a lot to Emmett. She was like his little sister and he was bound to protect her, not matter what.

"I know. If Alice didn't call to find Bella, who knows."

"Rose what happened? Alice just called and said that Bella walked out, but I didn't exactly get the full story."

"Well, Bella told me that when she and Alice went to Edwards room, she saw him with his ex girlfriend. She was devastated and hurt that she walked away from him. She just started to roam around the city and didn't even realize that she was alone in a dark alley. Bella wasn't thinking correctly and she could operate properly. And the rest I think you know."

"I'm gonna kill him! I cant believe he did this to her! He said that he loved her and that she was his life!" Emmett roared and tightened his grip on me.

"Em, you have to listen to his side of the story, before you jump into conclusions. I know Edward and he did change when Bella came into his life." I told him gently.

"she's right Emmett. Don't start war yet." Jasper said.

He let out a big sigh and loosened his grip, meaning that he finally calmed down.

"your all right." he kissed my forehead lovingly.

that's what I loved about Emmett. Sometimes he could be such a goof ball and be childish, but he could be the most down to earth person that I know. He showed me how much he loved me and without a doubt I knew that.

The front door of the room popped open to reveal Alice's perky face, but only this time it wasn't as happy as usual. She looked tired and drained.

Jasper in an instant got up from his position and grabbed Alice into a tight hug.

"Hey guys. Sorry I got here late but I had to talk to Edward. I got your message and thank god that you guys found her" she said after Jasper released her.

"yeah, we are too. She's in the room sleeping." I told her.

"okay that's good." she took Jaspers hand and lead him into the white couch and they were intertwined in each others arms, almost similar to my position with Emmett.

"so what happened? I only got a brief summary of it." I know that it was really snoopy of me to ask but I couldn't help it. I wanted to know what had Bella upset.

Everyone's eyes suddenly shifted towards Alice seeking the explanation of this whole drama. Alice took a really deep breathe before talking.

"Bella and I arrived at Edwards room. She was really excited to see him, but when the door opened Edward was there and so was Tanya. She was almost naked, but thank god that she wasn't. Bella was so hurt that she couldn't even look at Edward, so she ran. I was about to go find her, but Edward pulled my arm and tried to explain to me what really happened. Tanya came into his room, with out his permission and tried to seduce him. I stayed and listened to him, and I knew that it was all true. I could see the sadness and pain in his eyes, tormenting him and it wasn't even his fault. It was Tanya."

We all stayed silent for I don't know how long, trying to absorb the information. I was right, I knew that Edward truly loved Bella and there was no way he could ever intentionally hurt her.

"Bella should talk to him, let Edward give his explanation." I blurted out.

"Rose is right. This isn't Edwards fault, its that bitch Tanya." Emmett fist started to harden with rage.

"I told Edward that he could come here and give Bella an explanation and maybe they could put this mess behind them. I really hope they do, for the sake of their future kids." Alice added.

"yeah, I know what you mean, but Bella can be stubborn when she wants to be." Emmett lightly chuckled. Only Emmett would try to lighten up the mood.

We all went our different way for the night. Emmett suggested that we get ready for bed and I happily agreed. Alice and Jasper wanted some alone time, so they stayed in the living room.

I changed into my shorts and tank top for the night and happily snuggled with Emmett. With Emmett my life seemed to be in the right path. I could already see my life with this man, and I know that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him.

Edward POV

I was stupid, no scratch that I was a dumb ass. I knew that I never deserved someone as special as Bella. I always knew that. It seemed like it was miracle that she loved me, that she returned the feelings that I had for her. No other women, not even Tanya can replace her hold in my heart. It was Bella's and will always be forever.

After the whole Tanya incident, I wanted to run and find Bella, but I knew that she would just push me away. She needed time to think things through and I would give that to her even if it hurts me. I just hope that she'll understand and forgive me.

So I sat there alone in the hotel bed in the dark. It seemed so depressing and cold without Bella. It felt as if my perfect life was once again turned upside down.

I never cried before. Never. Not even when Tanya left. I always knew that I was strong enough to never let tears fall down. That was until now. Tears left my eyes, making my eyes red and puffy.

I never felt this kind of pain before. My body was had no feeling; just numb. No feeling at all. I couldn't even feel my heart.

Bella POV

I opened my eyes to see the morning sun, shine on me. Great, another morning. I looked around my enormous room, and found nothing, I was completely alone. I adjusted myself to get more comfortable in the bed. I turned to my side and laid my head lightly on the puffy pillow.

I just let my mind think about everything that happened yesterday. It was ironic how this was a trip that was suppose to be about joy and happiness now turned into a depressing and tragic movie.

I got up from my bed, knowing that sleep would not come and take me away from this world. I grabbed a light jacket that Alice packed for me and went to the kitchen, to whip up some comfort food for me.

When I entered the kitchen, I was surprised to see Alice on the small table with a cup of coffee in her hands. She looked up and nodded, acknowledging my presence.

"Hey Bells. Feeling better?" she asked.

"I would normally say yes, but I would be lying." I replied.

My heart was still in pain. Not even sleep would or could numb the pain I was feeling.

I took a good look at her and Alice looked different than usual. She had her short hair down, instead of spiking it around her hair. You could see the tiredness from her eyes and bags were starting to form under them.

"Bella I need to talk to you. Mind if we go for a drive?" She asked getting up from her seat and putting her used cup in the sink.

"yeah, I could really use that." I put on a forced smile.

"okay, let me just get a jacket and we'll be out." she informed me, walking away.

We exited the hotel, not before leaving a note saying that Alice and I went for a drive. The ride was filled with comforting silence and I knew too well that it was soon going to end.

"Bella what you saw yesterday, it wasn't Edwards fault. It was Tanya." Alice said looking straight to the road.

"Alice I know that Edwards your brother and that you love him and all, but this is between him and me. I need to hear this from him not you."

"Bella, we all know that Edward loves you with all his heart. You didn't know him before you guys got married. He was a player, no he was bigger than that. But I knew to well. He was trying to fill a void that was in his life. But then you came along and changed everything. Bella cant you see that Edwards a changed man? He would never dream of hurting you."

" I know that Alice. I know that. But my body, my heart is hurting right now. I always knew that I would never be enough for Edward. I always doubted that we were meant for each other because he was so perfect in so many ways. He deserved someone who is as perfect as him, Alice."

"you two are meant for each other. Please try to understand that you are the only person that Edward will love. Please try and understand, not only for you but for your future children. Think about them too Bella."

"Alice I am. I already love these babies with my life and I am thinking." I whispered.

"just listen to him and try to understand. There's a lot more to his side of the story, that I think you should hear. Let him explain, Bells. Don't let this tiny misunderstanding get in the way of your relationship."

I turned towards Alice, with tears in my eyes. I pulled her gently into a hug, being alert that she was driving.

"thank you Alice. Thank you so much." I managed to get out while sobbing.

"your welcome Bella. I'm always here for you, no matter what. Just try and listen and think positively." she rubbed my back.

I nodded, not finding my voice at the moment.

I knew what I had to do. I had to give Edward a chance to explain. He at least deserved that. But even with all this drama going on in my life, I knew one thing.

I will always, love Edward Cullen. No matter how much I try to hate him, I knew I couldn't do that.
