B POV
During the night I had trouble sleeping so I took the time to think about everything. I decided that I would have to tell him what happened that made me go over the edge. I figured I would do it after our lunch date.
Alice walked into the room around nine to get me and Edward up.
"Hey Esme told me you got in a fight with your dad and came back over. Do you want to talk about it?" She asked me
"Thanks Alice, but I think I need to talk to Edward first and then probably my parents, but I will get around to telling you." I told her.
She nodded. "Well I didn't just come here to talk, Esme wanted me to come and get you guys because breakfast is ready and then Edward is supposed to help out at the barn today." She said.
"Ok, I'll get him up." I told her.
She nodded and then walked out the door, shutting it behind her.
"Edward." I said and shook him until he woke up.
"A little violent today don't you think?" he asked.
"Alice came in and told me to get you up. Breakfast is ready and then you are supposed to help out at the barn." I told him matter of factly.
He got up on his elbows and looked at the clock that was behind me.
"Alright let's get dressed." He said and then got out of bed.
I put on a pair of jeans and a tank top then we walked down to the dining room. When we got there everyone was in there besides Carlisle and Esme. A few minutes later the door that separates the dining room and the kitchen swung open and then closed.
"Morning kids." Esme said as she and Carlisle walked in from the kitchen.
"Morning." We all said back.
We all ate in silence and then Carlisle and Edward went to the barn leaving me with Esme and Alice.
They asked me about my old school a lot and I answered most of them truthfully, some answers I just couldn't answer truthfully yet. After a little bit Esme left to go to her office to work on her new project. I found out that she calls the houses that she decorates for families are her 'projects'.
"Hey me and Rose are going shopping in about an hour, do you want to join us." Alice asked after Esme left.
"I'm having lunch with Edward, but can I get a rain check?" I asked her.
"Of course." She said.
We talked for a little bit before she decided to go and get ready so I made my way to Edward's room. I was sitting on his bed trying to figure out a way to tell Edward about my past when my cell phone buzzed. I looked and it was a text from Edward.
Come over 2 the barn 11:30
-E
I looked at the clock to see that it was already eleven.
K. C u in a ½ hour
-B
I decided to go and change. I changed into the black riding pants I packed. I went into the bathroom and put some make up on and brushed my teeth. I went back out and it was only fifteen minutes past so I left the room and slowly walked out of the house and down the path to the barn. I went to Ally's stall and started grooming him.
I had him all brushed when I heard someone call my name.
"Hey, I didn't know that you were already here." Edward said.
"Yeah I just couldn't keep my elf away." I said laughing.
He laughed and then asked if I wanted to get ready. I nodded and we went to get our horses tack.
When we were finished we met up in front of the barn and headed down the trail we took yesterday.
We got to the meadow and dismounted and Edward put a blanket down and got some food and drinks out.
We ate in silence but stole glances at each other whenever we could. After we were done eating I decided that it was time to tell him.
"Edward." I said.
"Yes love." He answered and I smiled at the nickname.
"I'm ready to tell you about my past." I told him he looked at me as if asking me if I was sure and I just nodded my head. "Last year I dated this guy named James; it was going great for a few months, but then when he asked if I wanted to have sex with him I refused. I told him that I wasn't sure if I wanted to wait for marriage yet or not and he was okay with it for about another two months but then he kept asking if I wanted to or not and I kept refusing. Last month we snuck off campus and went to a party with some of our friends. He got drunk and kept trying to persuading me to go upstairs. Eventually he got tired of me saying no and he or he got someone to spike my drink. He got me upstairs and I think you can figure out the rest. But he was really violent about it and when I woke up the next morning I was naked and so was James, I had a horrible headache and there were bruises all over my body. He was still passed out and so I took off. I broke up with him the next day but I was so hurt I did things that I shouldn't have which leaded me to getting kicked out of school."
When I was finished Edward just looked at me with a shocked face then he got up and pulled me up so I was standing and he put his arms around me and that's when I broke down. I never cried over this not even after it had just happened but now as I stood in Edward's embrace the tears just poured out of my eyes.
"Thank you for telling me." Edward said into my hair.
"Thank you for listening." I told him. "And for being a shoulder to cry on."
"You're welcome." He said. "Are you ready to get going?"
I nodded and we got on our horses and rode back in silence.
We got to the barn and took the tack off of the horses.
"Hey I have some more work to do but u can go and see what Esme's doing or something." Edward said coming up and wrapping his arms around me.
"Alright." He gave me a chaste kiss which, of course, left me wanting more.
I walked into the house noticing that Alice was not back yet. I saw Esme in the living room and asked her if I could explore the house.
"Of course, hon." She said and I walked off.
I found a few bathrooms, more bedrooms and an entertainment room. I was walking down a hall on the main floor when I found a door. I opened it and found a staircase going down to the basement. When I was on the floor I looked for a light switch, flipping it on when I found it. I looked in awe at the room. There weren't many lights and a few windows right below the ceiling. The walls were painted black so there were rays of light coming in through the windows giving it a foggy and mysterious look to it. In the middle of the room was a black grand piano. I smile to myself.
I'd always loved to play the piano, I took lessons when I was still in phoenix and then I kept playing in England. After a while I started writing my own songs and wrote my own piano music to go with it. I sat down at the bench and tried to think of a song to play. I put my fingers on the ivory keys and started to play.
(Song is Why by Secondhand Serenade)
The buttons on my phone are worn thin
I don't think that I knew the chaos I was getting in
But I've broken all my promises to you
I've broken all my promises to you
Why did you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breath
Why do you do this to me?
A phrasing that's a single tear
Is harder than I ever feared
And you were left feeling so alone
Because these days aren't easy
Like they have been once before
These days aren't easy anymore
Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breath
Why do you do this to me?
To me, to me, to me
I should have known this wasn't real
And fought it off and fought to feel
What matters most? Everything
That you feel while listening to every word that I sing
I promise you I will bring you home
I will bring you home
Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breath
Why do you do this to me?
I will bring you home
Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breath
Why do you do this to me?
To me, to me, to me
I heard sobbing coming from behind me. I turned around to find Alice, Esme, Carlisle, Rose, Jasper, and Emmett standing by the door.
"That was beautiful Bella." Esme said the source of the sobbing. The others nodded. "Even though it was a sad topic, it was still very beautiful."
Bella, are you going to tell us about what happened before you came here?" Alice asked.
I nodded and told them all about what happened with James and with Jacob. After I told them Alice and Rose were crying, Esme was sobbing even harder, Carlisle looked pained and Jasper and Emmett were seething with anger.
"I'm going to kill Jacob when I see him. You know what, I'm going to kill James to." Emmett said.
I smiled at them but then I heard Edward yell.
"Hey, where is everyone?"
"We're down here." Esme said.
He walked down surprised to see everyone down here but even more surprised to see me sitting on the piano bench. Then the look of surprise turned to confusion.
"It looks like you're not the only one with the talent to play the piano, Edward." Carlisle said smiling at me.
"You play?" He asked me and I nodded.
"C'mon kids, let's go upstairs." Esme said.
We got upstairs and Emmett turned to me. "Bells, are you going to come home tonight?"
"Actually, I think I'm going to go now. I really need to tell Charlie and then probably mom." I told him. "Are you going to come with me?" I asked.
He nodded and I went to find Edward. I found him in the living room with the rest of the group.
"Hey Edward, I'm going to go home, I need to talk to Charlie." He nodded and said ok.
I went upstairs to his room and got my stuff together and then went back down and told Emmett that I was going.
Both Emmett and Edward got up and walked out with me. Emmett got in the passenger seat while I stood by the driver's side door.
"Thanks for letting me come over and listening to me." I told him.
"It was no problem, and you can come over anytime to play the piano, I really want to hear those skills Esme was going on and on about while you were talking to Emmett." He said and I smiled, which he returned. He bent down and gave me a chaste kiss on the lips.
The ride home was silent and when I pulled into the driveway Emmett turned to me.
"I'm sorry, Bella." Emmett said.
"For what?" I asked.
"For the whole Jacob thing, I should have listened to you over him and beat the shit out of him, but I didn't." he told me.
"Thanks Em." I said and gave him a hug.
We got out and Emmett went upstairs while I went into the living room where Charlie was watching a Mariners game.
"Bella, you're home. I was afraid you weren't coming back." He said and got up.
"Of course I came back." I said and hugged him.
He sat down in the recliner and I sat on the coffee table in front of him.
"Dad, we need to talk."
