Important! While this is based on my life and the events that have taken place involving me, this is a Fanfiction and there will be fiction in the story. Enjoy!

Last time:

I snatch my hand back from Edward, putting it under the table.

"It's nothing." I shrug, slowly unwrapping the gauze. I know they will want proof that it really is nothing and I have nothing to hide, so why not show them?

"It is what I think it is?" Alice asks and I see tears building in her eyes. What could she possibly think it is? I haven't don't anything so why does she look so sad? I quickly shake my head when the realization hits.

"No, Alice. No. It's nothing like that." I hold out my wrist and Alice takes it in her hand, turning my wrist around to see both sides.

"Who did this to you?" Jasper asks.

"It was Rosalie, wasn't it?" Edward stands from the table before I can reply. "I'm going to kill the fucking bitch!" he growls and storms out the room, leaving us all staring after him.

Chapter twenty-two.

Now:

"Guys, we have to stop him!" I shriek, my voice bordering on hysterical. Alice and Jasper just look at each other before turning back to me, blinking a few times as if trying to work out what has just happened. I want to yell at them to help me, but I don't. Instead, I let panic overwhelm me , thinking of ways to stop Edward from hurting Rosalie.

"Why do we need to stop him?" Jasper asks, his voice almost sounding bored. Do they not realize how serious this is? Rosalie could get hurt because of me!

"Because Edward could hurt Rosalie!" My voice raises a few octaves and they don't even seem that bothered by it.

"Was it Rosalie?" Alice asks. I look away from them both and back to my wrist as I quickly rewrap it in the bandage. "It was, wasn't it?" She nudges me and I nod slightly, concentrating on what I'm doing.

"Yeah," I finally croak out.

"Then why should we stop him?" Jasper asks as if it is the most obvious thing in the world.

"Because Edward shouldn't be horrible to Rosalie," I whisper, thinking of where Edward could have gone to find Rosalie.

"Rosalie is horrible to you," Jasper states and I shrug, suddenly realizing where Edward might be.

"I need to go." I stand up and grab my bag, leaving before they can try to stop me. I hear them yelling after me as I leave, but I block it out; my mind reeling as I think about where Rosalie would spend her lunch times. I know one place where she could be, but I don't know if I want to go there.

I decide to just walk past; if I don't hear anything, I will get away as fast as I can. I quickly leave the lunch room and walk across the yard to the class rooms. I enter and shiver in fear before charging up the stairs to the third floor. I see the bathroom as soon as I step off the top step and I walk towards it, fear creeping up my spine. I push it away. I'm not here for that.

I see that the door is open when I approach, and I see Edward standing in there with Rosalie pinned against the wall. He has his hands on her shoulders and she is clawing at his hands, trying to get him off of herself. I gasp and run into the room without thinking.

It seems as he has just arrived as everyone is still looking at Edward in confusion and Rosalie doesn't seem to know what to make of everything. She looks at Edward's hands on her shoulders then at Edward's face and smiles slightly.

"Very funny, Edward." She laughs and shakes her head. "You can get off me now." She puts a hand on his chest, but he doesn't move. She quirks an eyebrow at him, silently asking him what he is doing.

"Why the fuck did you do that to Bella's arm?" he growls. Realization dawns on Rosalie's perfect features and for the first time ever, I see her looking scared her eyes wide and her mouth hanging open. "I asked you a question." His voice is deadly and she blinks a few times. Does Edward know I'm here? He hasn't looked at me and I haven't really made my presence known. Sure, Jessica and Tanya are glaring at me right this second, but Rosalie and Edward seem to be in their own little bubble of hate and confusion.

"I dd-didn't do anything," she stutters, then a fire lights up her eyes. Here comes the old Rosalie. "Even if I did do something, what would you do? Hit me? I'll have you arrested." She smirks and Edward laughs, shaking his head.

"And what would good old Chief Swan think when I tell him you're the reason why Bella couldn't get out of bed for three days? He's been itching to arrest someone for a while now." I can hear the smugness in his voice and Rosalie just rolls her eyes, before reaching up and trying to push his hands off of her. It doesn't work out too well.

"Get the fuck off me, Edward." Her voice is low and hard, and Edward shakes his head.

"Apologize to Bella," he counters. I bite on my bottom lip and look down at the floor when Rosalie looks over at me, her face showing her disgust towards me. So Edward does know I'm here.

"Bella?" She laughs, her laugh dark and haunting. "Why the hell would I apologize to a whale?" she asks. Edward growls and pulls her body forward before slamming her back against the wall. I see Rosalie wince and my heart goes out to her. It's not nice to be pushed around.

"Edward, leave it. Please?" I put my hand on his shoulder and he shrugs me off, glancing at me in warning to leave them alone. I back off, standing a few feet away so I can stop him if I need to.

"Do as your little Bella says, Edward." Rosalie rolls her eyes, a laugh spilling out of her. Edward lets go of Rosalie and backs away from her his eyes not leaving her nasty face. When he gets to my side, he stops and just glares at Rosalie.

"Come on, Edward. We have Bio." I turn around to leave, but the door is shut before I can. Eric, Tyler, Mike and Paul are standing there, smiling at me. I swallow hard and blink back tears. What they did to me in the changing rooms comes back and I try to stop it from immobilizing me.

Edward turns around and yells at them to move out of the way when he sees them. They come forward and manage to grab ahold of Edward, getting him on the floor before I know what is happening.

This is all my fault. Poor Edward could possibly be in danger, all because of me. If I had not told him anything, he wouldn't be here and he wouldn't be in the position he's in. I know Edward is a muscular guy, but so are they and there are four of them. I also know that Edward can handle himself, but still, there are four of them.

"What are you doing? Let him go!" I rush over to get them off of Edward, but Rosalie grabs my hair before I can even take two steps to them. I gasp and my hands go towards where she is holding me, trying to get my hair out of her grasp. I bite my bottom lip to stop from crying out and she tugs harder, making my ear go to her mouth.

"Don't worry, he won't get hurt," she whispers in my ear and I stop panicking. As long as Edward is okay, I can deal with anything else. She lets go of my hair and I fall to the floor at her feet, my eyes on the floor. They are filled with tears and I don't want her to see them.

This is how it always happens. She gets me in here, messes with me for a bit before she, 'teaches me a lesson' or whatever else it is she can think of. The first part is always the worst. The words hurt more than any hit or kick she can give. The mental pain is so much worse than the physical.

"Stupid, fat cow. Edward doesn't want you. He doesn't care about you. He just wants something he can't have, and the only way he can get it is through you," she hisses and I shake my head, not believing her. What could Edward possible want that he can only get through me?

"You fucking liar! Don't listen to her, Bella!" Edward yells and I block him out. If he is getting hurt because he is my friend, I don't want to be his friend anymore. I don't want him hurt because of me. I couldn't take it if anything happened to him. He says he's my friend and friends look after their friends. I want to look after him and not being his friend is the only way I can think of to make sure he is okay. Edward is liked by everyone in the school, he won't miss my friendship. Alice and Jasper are popular enough, they probably won't notice if the fat girl stops talking to them.

The guys drag Edward out the room, kicking and screaming. As soon as they leave, Jessica steps forward and locks the door. I hear Edward slamming against the door on the other side, but it isn't any use. Please, Edward. I'm not worth it.

"I'm not lying, Bella. Remember that." She finishes her sentence with a kick to my ribs, making me bite my lip to stop the tears. I taste the familiar rusty flavor on my tongue and I know I have made my lip bleed. It wouldn't be the first time, and it won't be the last.

She continues to kick me and I try to ignore it. I listen to the sounds in the room instead of focusing on the pain. Relaxing my body always helps, so that's what I do.

"Look at the fat bitch! She can't even feel it." I wish I couldn't.

"Go harder, Rosalie. Show her who's the boss." I know. Believe me, I know.

"The head. Smash in her head." Please do, then the pain can stop.

I close my eyes and let go of my lips, trying to take my mind off the pain. I really do try, but it doesn't work. I can hear the room erupt in laughter and my heart throbs painfully along with all the bruises I know are forming on my body.

"Is she dead?" I wish I was.

"Roll over, tubby. I want to see your face," Rosalie hisses and I do as I'm told, figuring it will be over sooner if I do.

Rosalie puts her high-heeled clad foot on my stomach and presses down, making the air leave my lungs. Rosalie bends down so she is closer to me. I begin to feel everything she has done and the pain is almost too much. Everything hurts and I think this is the worst beating I have ever had. I bring my hands to my face, protecting the one area that hasn't been damaged yet.

I gasp as Rosalie's hand hits my stomach, just under my ribs on my right side. The area is where she first hit and I can image the dark blue color my skin already is. My hands go to the dull throb, putting pressure on it to stop the pain. As soon as my hands leave my face, she begins hitting that. My eyes, my nose, my mouth. Anything she can reach, she hits and punches, making me cry out in pain.

Why did I have to come after him? Why couldn't I have just said I did the cuts myself? None of this would have happened. Edward hurt Rosalie, a girl, and now she is hurting me. Fair is fair. I should have left as soon as I saw what Edward was doing. I should have gotten help and this wouldn't be happening right now.

"Stupid, fat bitch. Running to Edward as soon as things get tough. You make me sick!" Rosalie hisses and spits on me, standing up straight from her leaning position. I swallow the large lump in my throat, trying to not let her see me in pain. She knows she has won; I don't want to show her that she has.

Slowly raising my hand, I run it over my bottom lip and pull it away to see blood running along the length of my hand. Of course, I shouldn't have expected anything less. As soon as I see the blood, I feel a sharp pain in my back and I groan as it happens again and again. She kicking my back, obviously bored with my face and sides.

The bell signaling the end of the day rings, and I try not to think that this has been going on for over an hour. She eases up and then stops altogether.

"Make sure I'm gone before you sort this out." Rosalie gestures to me before she picks up her bag and leaves the room, her followers going after her as if nothing happened. I close my eyes and try to concentrate on breathing. My breaths are shallow and pant-like; my ribs protesting with every inhale, and my stomach crying out with every exhale. I know something is broken this time.

The pain is overwhelming and my head swirls. Everything sways as I open my eyes and the last thing I see is Tyler and Mike walking towards me as my world goes black.
