Chapter 7

EPOV

When my phone rang I didn't even look at the caller id I just answered it. When Rose's voice came over the phone I was shocked.

Then she told me I needed to get to Bella's. I could tell in her voice that something wasn't right. Then she told me what was going on.

I sped to her house and I didn't care how fast I was going, I just had to get there. If that sleaze ball did something else to her I was going to kill him.

I ran inside the house once I got there and saw my Bella down on the floor with blood on her face.

I looked over at Em to make sure he had Jacob before I kneeled down to care for Bella.

I went right to her and pulled her to me. I whispered to her letting her know that I was there. Every once in awhile I would kiss her forehead while wiping the blood from her face.

"Edward," she panted out.

"Baby it's me. I have you, you're safe now."

She just nodded.

Finally the EMS arrived.

"Hey Rose would you please go with Bella and I'll be there very soon."

"Yeah I can do that. You two be careful what you do to him. I don't want to have to bail you two out of jail."

I heard Emmett say I promise Rosie we will be careful.

"Baby, Rose is going to with you and I will be there very soon."

I kissed her forehead again and watched as they loaded her.

"Rose please make sure they do a rape kit on her."

"I will Edward."

Once Rose and Bella were gone I turned to Emmett.

"Emmett I want you to hold him down. This fucker is going to get what's coming to him. I want him to remember what it feels like to be overpowered. He will never want to look at another woman again."

"Edward have at it. This sleaze ball son of a bitch needs to be taught how to treat a woman."

I started off hitting him in his stomach then his ribs. He screamed out but I didn't stop. I continued to hit him where ever I could land a good punch.

"Ahh," he said.

I didn't say anything to him. When finally he slumped to the ground I thought about being done with him but something in me told me to do more.

I wanted his face to look like Bella's. I wanted him to feel how it felt to be slapped or punched in the face.

"Oh no Jacob I'm not done. You are going to see how it feels to be beat in the face. The only difference is that I'm stronger than Bella so it makes of a more even fight don't you think."

I punched him in his face. I punched him so hard that I broke his nose.

I stepped back a bit, as Emmett punched him a couple of times in the stomach. I wanted to continue beating him, but Emmett stopped me.

"Hey man, I think he's had enough. I hear the police coming. Why don't you go ahead and go to the hospital and I will take care of things here?"

"Thanks man. I guess you will come when you are done here?"

"Yep I will be there. I need to make sure that she is ok."

Jumping in my car I headed to the hospital. I just hope and pray that the crazy ass didn't rape her or anything else.

I needed to make sure I was there for her. While being there for her her I also needed to make sure she got a restraining order against that sick son of a bitch.

I wanted to make sure that she would be protected if he got out of jail. Next thing was to fire him. I would definitely be talking to Jasper and Emmett it later.

I pulled up to the hospital and ran inside. I saw Rose sitting in a chair.

"Rose how is she?"

"I don't know Edward they would not let me go back. They said they would come and let me know once they're done. They said that they would do a rape kit. I can tell you this she didn't black out or anything so that has to be a good sign right?"

"Yeah it is. I just wish that they would let someone go back there with her."

"Edward, where is Emmett?"

"He told me to go ahead and go and that he would talk to the police and that he would be here once he was done."

"Please tell me that you beat the shit out of him?"

"Yes I did. I don't think we will have to worry about him doing that again for a long time. I need to talk to Em and Jasper about firing his ass. I don't want to have any part of him. They only thing is that we leave in like three and a half weeks and I don't want to leave Bella alone. I don't trust Jacob fucking Black."

About that time the doctor came out.

"Is there family here for an Isabella Swan?"

Both Rose and I stood up and walked over to him.

"We are the closest family she has."

"I'm Dr. Davis I have been treating Miss Swan tonight. She has a cut on her face and a broken nose and that's what was bleeding so bad. We also did a rape kit on her and that came back negative but there was some vaginal tearing."

"What do you mean vaginal tearing?" Rose asked.

"It means that whoever did this to her maybe tried to get her ready for him and she went dry or was dry. The person could have forced something in her and it tore while doing so. It will heal but she will be sore for the next several days. I'm going to get her prescriptions filled out and then I will send her home. I would suggest not to leaving her by herself. She might look and sound ok but she will need her friends and family support."

"Trust us Dr. Davis she will not be left alone. Can we go and see her?" I said.

"Yes that's fine. It will probably be about an hour before she will be released. She's in curtain number two."

"Thanks again Doctor."

Rose and I walked to the curtain, we looked at each other taking a deep breath before we went inside to see Bella. I knew that she'd try to push us away. But I wasn't going to let her.

"Edward what did you mean when you said she wouldn't be left alone?"

"Rose, I stayed with her last night after what Jacob did to her and she woke up with a nightmare. Then today we spent the day together. We had a really good time. I can't explain it but I feel really protective of her and I will make sure that she is safe."

"Edward, I think you have found your soulmate, you just have to take things slow with her. Don't push her into anything."

"Rose I don't plan on doing that. I will take what I can get from her, friendship or more whatever she is willing to give."

We both walked in and I heard Bella crying, her back was turned from us.

BPOV

After the doctor left me, I turned on my side and thought about the things Jacob said. How no one would want me after he was done with me.

I thought about Edward, and the fun time we had today. I was just kidding myself, a man as attractive as Edward, wouldn't want someone like me. I'm not good enough for him.

The tears started to fall but I didn't care. The salty tears stung my cheeks and it was hard to breathe with my nose broken.

I heard someone approaching the bed, but I didn't turn around. I didn't care to see whoever it was.

I felt someone touch my shoulder and I knew it was Edward. I felt the current run down my body.

"Bella," I heard him call.

I didn't want to face him. I wasn't good enough for him to be here.

"Edward please just go. I just want to be alone right now."

"Bella you are not going to be left alone until we figure out what is going to happen to Jacob," he said.

I felt someone standing if front of me. I opened my eyes and Edward was standing there with a sad face.

"Bella, baby I want to take care of you and be there for you. Please let me do that for you."

"No, Edward. I am not good enough for you. Don't you see that? I'm nothing," I said looking into his green eyes, that suddenly turned a darker shade of green.

"Sweetheart, you are good enough for me. I'm not sure why you think that you're not. You didn't ask for this to happen to you. I care about you alot and I want to be there for you, whatever you need."

I tried to move and I whimpered in pain.

"Bella, please stop trying to move so much. You have a broken nose and they also said that you have some vaginal tearing."

"What does that mean, Rose?" I asked as I avoided looking at Edward.

"Honey, it means that son of a bitch did something to you. But you don't have to worry about him, Edward and Emmett beat the shit out of him."

"Can you tell me what happened, what he did? I mean we know that he didn't rape you, Bella but he did do something to you," asked Edward as he took my hand in his.

"He... um.. he shoved his fingers into me while being dry. It really hurt. I really did try and stop him but he's so much stronger than me. He had me pinned to the wall. I really don't remember much other than Emmett coming in and he pulled him off of me before he could rape me. Then the next thing I remember you holding me and comforting me until the EMS got there."

I started to sob and I felt Edward sit on the bed and pull me into him and he just let me cry. I could not help but to relax into his embrace. It felt so right. I still felt like I was not good enough for him.

"Shh, baby I've got you. He can't get to you now. I've got you."

I felt him kiss the top of my head before he pulled away and looked at me.

"Bella Dr. Davis is going to release you soon and I'm coming and staying with you until we know what is going to happen with Jacob. I do not want you alone. Besides he also said that you didn't need to be left alone."

"Thank you Edward but you really don't have to do that. I could go stay with Jasper and Alice or even Rose and Em. I don't want to be a burden on you."

"Baby, you're not being a burden on me. I want to be there for you."

"Whatever but I promise I will be fine. I'm a big girl."

"Bella we know that you are but Edward would feel better if he was there with you and I must say that I agree with him."

"Rose I can take care of myself."

"Isabella Marie Swan, do not disagree with us on this. Someone will stay with you whether or not its me or Alice. I think that you should let Edward do it. He cares about you. Let someone care for you for a change."

"Fine has anyone called Alice and Jasper to let them know what has happened?"

"Yes I called her once we got here. She said that she would be over at your house first thing in the morning."

About that time Dr. Davis walked in.

"Miss Swan here are some prescription for your meds. You can take the pain meds every four hours and the antibiotic twice a day. Unless you are not feeling any better in a week then come back but a broken nose will heal pretty fast."

"Thank you Dr. Davis. Am I'm ready to go home now?"

"Yes ma'am you are."

He turned and walked out the door.

"Ok Bella, Edward and I are going to step out so you can get dressed just open the curtain when you are done."

Edward got off the bed and kissed me on the forehead before leaving the room. Once they are both out of the room. I got up and got dressed.

Maybe Edward does care about me. Maybe I should give him a chance for us to be friends.

I just couldn't figure out why every time he touched me that I got a warm feeling running down my body. I think he felt it as well.

I opened the curtain once I was done dressing. Edward walked over to me and pulled me into his side.

I couldn't explain it but I felt so safe in his arms. Last night he stayed with me even when he didn't have to.

We all walked out the hospital together. Edward helped me into his car and we drove to my house.

As we got closer I could feel tears building up in my eyes. I was scared to go back there.

I tried to hide them but Edward saw before I could turn my face to look out the window.

"Sweetheart what's wrong?"

"I do..n't think I.. I.. cann stay there. I'm scared."

"Bella how bout we do this. We will stay at my place I will call Alice tomorrow to stop by your place to pick you up some clothes. Then she can just come to my house instead."

"Edward I don't have anything to sleep in."

"Don't worry about that. I'm sure I have something that you can wear for the night."

"Ok and thank you Edward... for everything."

"You are welcome sweetheart, anytime."
