Bella's POV

I felt a cold set of arms catch me, but it took me awhile to realize this. I slowly opened my eyes to find Esme carrying me towards the front door. I groaned in embarassment. How was I to explain to her I was trying to commit sucide?

We walked though the door and Esme put me on the couch.

"Carlisle," she called. Great, she was getting him in this too. Another groan in embarassment. Before I could blink, Carlisle was standing above me with a worried exprerssion.

"What happened?" he asked, putting a hand to my forehead. I didn't say anything.

Finally Esme spoke up. "Bella, doing this isn't the way to solve any of your problems." I sighed and sat up. To be honest, I thought I was.

I started to cry, thinking again about all the reasons I wanted to end my life.

"I can't do it anymore Esme," I said between sobs. "Everyone hates me."

Esme sat down next to me and put her hand on my shoulder. "They don't hate you, Bella. They're just...surprised," I can tell she was doing her best to find the right words without upsetting me but the truth was there weren't any.

I shook my head and pulled my knees up to my chest.

"No, they hate me because they think I had sex with another man,"

I saw Esme and Carlisle exchange glances for a moment then looked back at me. "What do you mean 'think'?" Esme asked. She obviously thought there was no way Alice's vision was wrong but the future coulds always change, so why was she depending on it so much?

They were both still watching me with curious filled eyes. Should I trust them? But this is Carlisle and Esme I'm talking about. They were the only Cullens that still treated me like family after all that has happened. I knew I could trust them.

"I didn't have sex with that man... He raped me."

Esme gasped and covered her mouth. "Oh my god." Was all she could say. I looked at Carlisle who's facial expression had a mixture of sorrow and...anger?

Esme hugged me as I sobbed onto her shoulder.

After I calmed down and was able to talk they asked me questions like. 'Who else knows?', 'Did Charlie find him?', and 'Did I go to the doctor?'.

"I just can't believe Alice saw it all wrong," Esme said after I finished answering one of their questions. I almost forgot about her. I started to panic when I remembered everyone would be back in just a short time.

They must have heard my heartbeat pick up speed because Esme was by my side again patting my back and telling me to calm down in a soothing voice.

"I want to go back to Charlie's," I told them. They didn't respond but Esme followed me upstairs to my room.

She was angry when she saw what Alice and Tanya had done to my room, but I didn't have time to explain anything. I needed to get out of here.

"Bella, please stay," she begged. "We can explain this to the rest of the family together if you'd like," I shook my head.

"I can't Esme... If only you knew the way they treat me when your not around," Esme pulled me into another hug.

"Why didn't you tell me?" she asked. How could I tell her? How could I talk to anyone about any of this? It was too personal, but telling her that wouldn't be a good enough answer, so I just shrugged in response.

I don't know how she did it but Esme convinced me to staying for awhile longer and promised that she'd talk to everyone about the way I've been treated without revealing my secret, and for that I was greatful. I wasn't ready to explain what happened to anyone else just yet. Even though I hated how they treated me, reliving those details were just too painful.

While convincing me to stay, Esme even talked me into going back to school. I start tomorrow.
