CH9 ~ Just a Few Questions

.

JPOV

.

We walk into the station where we are guided into a smaller room by two older looking detectives. "Ms. Swan?" an older officer says and I look at him. "Actually she is Mrs. Cullen now." He scowls at me and looks me up and down. What the fuck is that about? "Bella, we knew your father very well, we were all heartbroken that we could not get you the justice you so deserved." Now, I am getting pissed, her name is Mrs. Cullen. Bella just nods but doesn't look at them, her eyes downcast the whole time.

.

"My wife deserved justice for what the piece of shit did to her in high school, I don't understand why no wanted to fight for her. Now what happened today, it just brought back all those horrific memories." They gave me a dirty look again, why am I the enemy?

.

The female detective comes out, "Mr. and Mrs. Cullen, perhaps we can speak to you separately. We can get done faster that way. " I really don't want to let her go and she is holding onto me for dear life. Her arms around my waist and I can feel her smaller frame shaking, she needs me here for support. "I want my husband with me." The detective rubs her arm, "I understand I promise just a few questions and then you can get back to him."

.

I kiss her forehead, but get this worried feeling in my gut. What the fuck is going on? She follows the detective into another room, while the male detective from earlier guides me into the room in front of us. I sit down, and he throws the folder of information I collected on Bella in front of me. "You talk a good game Mr. Cullen, but we know you are just like Mr. Black. You took advantage of Bella and forced her into marriage." OH FUCK! I push it away, "I don't care what you think, Bella is my wife she chose to live with me, we are happily married and in love. You can think what you want, but I won't let you make me the criminal, not while that fucker beat my wife. You all let her down in high school, not me."

.

He laughs at me, "Well, detective Denali is speaking to Bella Swan right now and I'm sure she will tell us all about you now. Since you no longer have her under your control and your domain. We know men just like you Mr. Cullen!" He sneered at me. This fucker is pissing me off, "Her name is Bella Cullen, she is my wife, and I don't care what you think or how you threaten me. I'm the one who's watched her fight her demons and seen her while she's asleep, having her nightmares because those around her let her down. Me included but I'm not about to let her down again! I got her to open up to me and trust me. She finally has a family who will love and protect her. None of you were there after her father died, but now you show up? " I laugh back at him. "You don't know Bella like I do." He laughs at me, "Yeah, I bet you told her kinds of shit just so you fuck that sweet ass, I bet you make her go down on you every night and joke about it with your brothers. Does she suck you good?"

.

I jump and the chair flies behind me, "That is my wife you are talking about. Don't you ever disrespect her like again. She is good woman and doesn't deserve to be spoken about like that." Then I hear her screaming, "I WANT MY HUSBAND. I WANT MY HUSBAND. I WANT MY HUSBAND." I scream back, "Bella, Bella. What are you doing to her, you better not be touching her." Oh God what are they doing to her. "Jasper, Jasper, Jasper." I hear her call my name over and over, "What are you doing to her? I want to see my wife." I shout out again, a growl rising in my chest as I hear Bella crying out for me.

.

"No can do, you stay here and if you try to leave we will restrain your pretty ass boy." He gets up and leaves. I sit down and cry. Oh God what are they doing to her? All these horrific thoughts fly through my head and I feel sick to my stomach.

I reluctantly sit down even though I want to get back to Jasper, but maybe this will get us out faster. "Bella, we know all about Jasper and his book on you. We know that he tricked you into becoming his wife; we know that he took you away from your apartment and friends. We spoke to Jessica and Angela, they said you are just confused." What? Oh my god, are they asking Jasper the same questions? I wanted to throw up. I just want my husband. He must think I don't want to be married to him. "It's not what you think. We are married, I love Jasper, he is my husband, and I want to see him right now."

.

She laughs me! "Ms. Swan, we know you are just brainwashed. I bet he made Jacob come after you just to make sure you knew your place." That is bullshit! I might have believed that a few days ago, but after all that I shared with Jasper now, I know the truth. He never forgot about me, he would do anything to protect me, where were all my father's friends after he died? Where were they when I needed justice? "Screw you, you don't know anything. Don't you dare speak about my husband like that. Where were all of you when my father died? Now you want to help me. You don't know shit. I WANT MY HUSBAND!" I pound my fists on the table hoping he would hear me and get me.

.

"He is being questioned by Detective Laurent; he is going down for what he did. Don't be stupid, he doesn't love you, he just wanted a submissive wife and he got one. Let us help you and you can go back to your apartment and to your friends, back to your life." I jump up and throw my chair across the room. THIS IS NOT HAPPENEING, "I have a life and it is with Jasper, I want to go home NOW."

.

She rolls her eyes and laughs at me again, why is this happening? Why are we being interrogated? Why didn't they do this when Eric abused me? I start screaming and promised myself I would not stop till they bring me Jasper, "I WANT MY HUSBAND. I WANT MY HUSBAND. I WANT MY HUSBAND." I just keep screaming and screaming and pounding the walls.

.

"He's busy, he's going down for what he did to you." The bitch detective says then opens the door to leave, I race past her and run around the main room still screaming, "Jasper, Jasper, Jasper!" over and over, hoping I can find him. Then I see Emmett, he runs over to me, "What happened Bella?"

.

"They won't let me see Jasper, they are interrogating him, they think he was abusing me too. They won't listen to me. Please I want my husband." I could feel Emmett shaking as he held me. "Why are you treating my brother and sister-in-law like criminals? Haven't they been through enough today? Hasn't she had enough of this shit for a lifetime?"

Suddenly Detective Laurent comes out of a room, that has to be the room Jasper is being held, I watch him walk over to the female Detective to talk to her. I look up at Emmett and he nods, he knows what I am going to do. I quickly run to the door and fling it open, there is jasper sitting there looking defeated, he was frowning and his eyes look so heavy and he has dried tears on his face. I run over to him and he stand up taking me into his arms, pulling me close against his body and we hold each other tightly. Not wanting to let each other go for just one moment.

.

"I love you Jasper, don't listen to them. Please I love you, I need you. They are all wrong." He rocks me back and forth, "I never doubted our love, not for a minute Bella. What did they do to you? I heard you yelling and I couldn't get to you. I'm sorry." He mutters, holding me even closer as we sway back and forth.

.

"I am okay Jasper, I just wanted to be in your arms." The detectives come over to us, I turn to look at them. "You say you would do anything as a favour to my father, well then let us all go home and put Jacob away for what he did to me. Find Eric and make him pay. Don't go after Jasper, he is the only one who showed me any love, the only one I feel safe with." Then I remember something my father told me, the police hate when they are wrong, they fear the press when they are wrong. He knew there were many corrupt cops, I wish I knew their names. I wonder if these were them? "I will go to the press, we will get our lawyer and go to the press. I will let everyone know how you let my abuser get away and now trying to persecute my husband and let another abuser free."

.

Jasper turns me to face him and looks in my eyes, he is smiling at me. "Bella, I am so proud of you, you are standing up for yourself. It must be so hard and terrifying, but you are doing it." He kisses my forehead.

.

"Excuse me, I am Mr. J. Jenks. The Cullen Family attorney." We both look up and I feel Jasper stand up taller, I look at him and he is smiling smugly at the police. He is a tall man with strong features, he has very short jet black hair and expensive black suit. He looks at the police with such a threatening expression, I would not want to be against him in court. "I believe what you are doing to my clients is emotional abuse, and Mrs. Cullen is right. You are letting another abuser go free. Now I am going to let my clients go home and try to heal. If you need to contact them about anything, it is to go through me. I am filing an order of protection against Mr. Black on behalf of all the Cullen's. If any of the police or prosecutor wants to contact them without my consent, I will press charges."

.

Jasper took a deep breath and smiled and guided me out of the station. I stop, and turn to grab the folder they took from our house. "This was taken without our consent, this has nothing to do with Jacob, it's between my husband and I."

.

The lawyer looks at me, "So that was seized without a warrant, hmmmm. Well, that's another thing we will have to look into." And Jasper guides me out and towards where Emmett is standing, we all walk out of the station and to his car.

.

"Jasper, take Bella home and get her some rest. If they contact you at all, call me and we will file charges against them. They fucked up royally and they know it." Both Emmett and Jasper nod then the lawyer looked at me, "Mrs. Cullen, you are one brave lady, I promise I will get you justice, just like I got justice for your sister-in-law." He smiles at me and Jasper helps me get in the car.

.

Jacob POV

.

They had me fucking handcuffed to the hospital bed, like I am the criminal. They were showing me all the pictures I took of Bella in front of me, I laugh at them. I know every fucking picture I took of her, retards. "She wanted to be in those photos, she invited me in to her apartment, she's a little slut, she loves it all."

.

The fat fucking officer glared at me, "Well Mrs. Cullen said you were stalking her and she did not invite you in or give you permission to take her picture."

.

"That's bullshit, he took her from me, we were going to get married, we were going to start a family. She is not married to him, that is bullshit, AND HER NAME IS BELLA SWAN."

.

"Why would you punch and slam her to the ground if you were going to marry her? Didn't you love her?" This fucker was pissing me off, who the fuck he is to tell me what to do, to question me?

.

"She likes it rough, her boyfriend in high school was rough with her, she liked it. But then he left her, she was looking for a replacement, I would have been able to fill that void. She wants to be beat and raped, she's a little slut. And speaking of beatings, I want to press charges against that Cullen fucker, he attacked me when I tried to bring Bella home."

.

The fat fucker laughs, "Well it looks like he did a number on you, three broken ribs, the rest bruised, a busted knee cap, an eye swollen shut and a broken wrist. Looks like you like being beaten too."

.

I wanted to jump on him, but the fucking handcuff stopped me. There was a knock at the door, "I'm Mr. Black's attorney." He said his name, but I didn't give a shit, I just want to get out of here and back to my Bella. "His family called me. They do not want to get involved, but knew he needed my help."

.

The fat ass detective stands up, "Well, your client has given us quite a bit of information." The fucking lawyer glared at me, What the fuck you string bean? "Well, he's not talking anymore, not until I have spoken with him." He sits down next to my bed and the cop leaves, "Have some doughnuts, fat ass." I call out as he leaves.

.

"Mr. Black, what did you tell them?" he asks me. "I told them the truth, that we were going to get married, that she invited me into her place, she wants me, she needs me. I had to get her away from those Cullen fuckers. She wants to be my wife and have my kids. Just ask her."
.

"Okay, Mr. Black I will. Why don't we stop now and I'll talk to the detectives." I just stare at him, "Wait, when will I get to see Bella? She needs me to take her home, she needs to be cleaned of all those Cullen germs. She needs to be reminded of who she belongs with." He nods at me, "I will go check on that right now." He stands up and turns around, "Please don't talk to anyone but me from now on." I roll my eyes and he leaves. He better be on his way to bring her to me, she better be cleaned and ready to help me heal. How dare she let those fucker brainwash her, she is my fucking girl. I will find a way to bring her home and I will kill those Cullens, every single one of them. I close my eyes and remember each and every picture I took of her.

We get in the car, Bella is holding onto the book with all her might and leaning into me. I look in the rear view mirror and stare at Emmett. I can feel his anger at the police and the concern for Bella, he is gripping the steering wheel so hard, he might actually rip it right off. I know my big brother, he feels like he has to protect us all. What happened to Bella is bringing up all the memories of Rosalie's attack and our parents dying. This is going to be hard on us, but we will all stick together, that's what we do. That's what our parents would have wanted us to do.

.

We all sit in silence as he drives us back home, we pull up at Emmett's house. "We're going to stay with Emmett and Alice tonight, as is Rosalie and Edward, we just all want to be close tonight. Then they'll come over and help us clean up our place tomorrow morning." She nods at me, I know Emmett told us this before we went to the station, but with all that went on, she might have forgotten. I get out and open the door for her, she clings to me again and we walk inside.

.

Edward, Alice and Rosalie are all sitting at the table, there is tons of food there. Alice stands up, "I made a dinner but I wasn't sure when you would get home. I am sure you are all hungry, so we can eat now. We picked a little, but waited, we want to eat with you, unless you want to go upstairs to sleep Bella." Bella just stands there, and then looks up at me and gives me a sad smile. She then looks at Alice, "I'm really hungry and it all looks great, but I need to get cleaned up first. I need to get out of these clothes."

.

"Of course, Bella, I have pyjamas for both of you in the middle bedroom and towels as well. Take as long as you want. Jasper you can shower in our bathroom if you prefer."

.

Bella nods and walks upstairs and I follow her. I look at all my family, they are all frowning and the wrinkles on their forehead shows deep concern for us. I mouth 'thank you' at them and continue walking up the stairs, following behind Bella.

.

Bella gathers the pyjamas and towels and goes into the bathroom, I grab the stuff Alice left for me and use their bathroom. I stand there and let the water run all over my body. I think about all that has happened today and want to kick myself, I wasn't there to protect her. Why did I let her go to our house alone? Why didn't I get to her faster? Why did I let them interrogate us separately? I failed her, will she ever forgive me?

.

I got back the bedroom and wait in there for Bella to get out of the bathroom. I try to calm down, she doesn't need me to be upset, she needs me to be strong. She opens the door and comes out, she has worry all over her face. Her eyes are heavy and her frown is so deeply set on her face, it looks like she might cry.

.

"Bella, I am so sorry. I let you down, I was supposed to protect you and I didn't. I don't know why I let you go home alone. I don't know why I let you go in that room without me. I have no answers for you and I am so truly sorry." I start to cry, I feel like such a fucking ass.

.

She sits next to me and pulls me into her, rubbing my back and kissing my forehead. It's supposed to be the other way around. "Jasper, if you went home with me, he would have hurt us both. What if he hurt you in order to get me to go with him. I would've had to go, I wouldn't have been able to watch him hurt you. You had no idea what the officers were going to do to us. None of this is your fault or mine. We were both attacked today, but we are here now. Just be the Jasper I need, please. Just be with me and love me. I don't want to lose you."

.

"Bella." I stood up, so angry. "Promise me you would never go off with anyone if they threaten to hurt me. Please promise me that. I can't protect you if you are gone. I am strong Bella and will fight back, don't ever think you have to protect me, I am supposed to protect you." It made me sick to think that she would have gone off with him. What would he have done to her, to my wife?

.

She's smiling at me, not smugly or condescending, but a smile of love? "Jasper, I love you, I know you want to protect me, but you also need protection too. How about we promise to protect each other, no matter what?" I shook my head, "I am your husband, it is my job to keep you safe." She kisses my lips, "I am your wife and it is my job to keep you safe too."

.

She holds my hands and walks me to the door, "I know you want to be strong and tough. You, your brothers and sister-in-laws all went through a lot too. You lost your parents, Emmett had Alice, Edward had Rosalie, who did you have? I know how it feels to be alone. Eric took away my life, we could have been married a while ago, I could have been in this family years ago, but he stole that from me. I know I was meant to be with you. Now that I have you, I am not going to let Jacob take this away. I am here for you, just as much as you are here for me."

.

I pulled her to me and kissed her passionately. Her words were so special, so important. I enjoyed our kiss, it was more about keeping together and staying strong than building romance. We just wanted to kiss and feel each other in our arms. We needed to know that it was going to be okay.

.

It was so good to be back in Jasper's arms, so good to feel him holding me. I needed him, but also he needed to hear that I was there for him to. He was just as scared as I was. We walked downstairs and just in time as both our stomachs growled. It was late for dinner, already 9pm, but we needed to eat if we were going to sleep.

.

I saw his family had started eating, so we casually joined them and sat down. Alice started piling on food for us. You could feel the emotions in the air, it was thick with anger and fear. I feel bad for Rosalie, this must be bringing back too many memories for her. We all sit in silence and eat, until Emmett starts to laugh, "Mom and dad, would have been so proud of Bella in the police station. She ran past them twice, yelled at them, and called them out on illegally seizing something that belongs to Jasper. It was awesome."

.

Everyone looked at me, and smiled. I feel really silly. "I just remembered some information my father taught me, I was so scared, I couldn't believe I was saying it as it was coming out of my mouth."

.

Rosalie looked at me, "You're a lot braver and stronger than you give yourself credit for." She smiles at me and I could feel the love pouring off from her. Jasper winks at me and I nudge him with my arm. I am so thankful I have all of them, I know I would have never left my house if I had to deal with Jacob alone. I would have become trapped in my apartment, trapped in isolation. But with my new family, I have so much love and support, I know I can't ever live without them. I want to express to them how I feel, but know after this day we need a break from this emotional overload.

.

The rest of dinner was silent and we helped in cleaning up and retired to our rooms, to all get some much needed rest. Jasper and I settled into the bed, he pulled my back into his chest. He loves cuddling me like this. I loved knowing that I could feel him breathing against my back and his hands were securely around me. I listened to him breathing and soon felt my eyes get heavy.

.

JPOV

.

I woke up to Bella running her hands through my hair. I smile up at her, and run my hands all around her arms and back. She's my wife and I will keep her safe from now on. I was so scared when I could hear her calling for me, but also felt a sense of pride, I loved when she referred to me as her husband.

.

I softly kiss her lips and she deepens the kiss. "Jasper I don't want any man to ever touch me again, I belong to you and you to me. It makes me sick to think that he was going to touch me. My body is only yours." She rubbed my back and I enjoyed the sensation of her tongue in my mouth, she was exploring me this time and I loved it. I want to touch and feel her body, but knew now was not the time. I had a feeling she wanted me too, but we would wait until we were back in our home, in our bed.

.

"Jasper, we'll be staying in our house tonight, right?" I nod, I knew what she meant and my dick twitched at the thought of lying in bed naked with her, touching her and tasting her. "We better get downstairs before Alice starts banging on the door, I'm sure she has a full breakfast laid out for everyone and has detailed step by step plans of how we are going to clean our house." She laughs at that.

.

"Everything will have to be washed and disinfected." She shudders, "I am not opposed to throwing everything out and demolishing it all and rebuilding." I said and looked in her eyes, she knew I was serious, but she got nervous. "No, there are certain things, certain memories, I don't want to lose." I smirk at her and knew just the memories she was talking about. All those conversations we had, me flirting with her, her checking out my body, our first kiss, us touching one another in the living room and bedroom. She blushed when she knew I was thinking about the same things.

.

I jump up, "Let's eat first and get dressed later." She stood up with me and we walk downstairs hand in hand.

.

Will Jacob do his time? Will Bella help Jasper let go of his guilt? Will the family be able to move on? Will Bella and Jasper make some more lemonade? Next: ...CH10 - Healing (We will also see a secret side to Jasper we didn't think was there, hmmm? any guesses?)
