Carlisle P.O.V

She drop her drink on , making the glass explose everywhere as it touch the ground. Her eyes went wide and she froze.

I ran to her side quickly.

- Esme are you okay? I ask touching her cheek sweelty.

- Andrew.. she whispered

Andrew?

- Esme, please talk to me. You're worrying me right now. I ask truly concerned.

She looked at me and started crying.I immediatly took her in my arms. I tried to calm her; I put one arm on her back,doing little circles while my other hand was strocking her hair sofly. I whisper sweet things to her in her ear. We stayed like that for about 10 minutes until she calmed down.

- i'm sorry . she said her head still on my chest .

- Shh. don't need to be sorry. Do you want to talk about it? I asked unsure.

She hesitated before releasing me and leaving the room.

Great I upset her .

She came back a couple seconds later with a picture in her hand and sat down on the couch.

I sat down beside her and waited for her to start.

She sigh before turning to face me

- Carlisle please don't judge me for what i'm about to tell you.. I'm not sure why but I really trust you and I... I really want to keep it that way. I don't trust people easily you know.

believe me sweetheart, I know

- and please don't say anything before i'm done.

I nodded and she took a deep breathe before starting

- When I was 19. My parents force me into mariage. With a guy name Charles. I didn't love him and never did actually... but my parents force me to it because his parents were rich and they told me I would fall in love with him eventually.

She looked like crying again so I took her hand in mine and give it a soft squeeze.

- At first, he was the perfect gentleman. He was wonderful and I actually thought that it was going to be alright. But then... after a couples months whenever we were alone he... he started to be mean to me. Verbally at first but then.. he ... he started to beat me.

My brain stop. I froze. How can somebody to do that to someone? To ESME ?! What kind of husband does that? I could feel the anger built in me but I tried to stay calm for Esme.

but I still didn't understand what it had to do with the baby but I let her finish.

- In public , he was acting normaly , but when we were alone.. He started beating me , day after day, treating by names , punching me . I couldn't do anything about it. It got worst . Then he ...

She took a deep breath.

- He Raped me... He raped me Carlisle.

I winced at that. I didn't want to think about someone doing that to Esme. My poor , little beautiful Esme. It made me want to puke.

My?..

I shook my head and squeeze her hand in comfort.

- When I told him I was pregnant. He wasn't happy at all. I had to run away but I couldn't . I needed to protect my baby.

I was starting to understand now. But where's the baby now?

- One night, I couldn't do this anymore . So I went away. I left. I lived with my cousin in Washington . Then 7 months later , My little Andrew was born. I loved him so much.

Loved?

- Sadly... 5 days later he got sick. They did everything they could but... He wasn't strong enough. My baby died Carlisle . My poor little Andrew.. So young and beautiful .

Oh god...

At this point , she was talking more to herself then me .

She started crying again so I just held her tighlty .

- I tried to kill myself after that. I had nothing left

Thank god you didn't

- It took my a whole year to recover from that. I had nightmares of him everynight, and then after a while, I decided that I wanted to help people after that so nobody have to go what I went throught. I had to stand up for myself and my son.

She's so wonderful I thought

- And well Here I am. I moved here 2 months ago .

I was speechless. This women had go throught so much and yet , she's still here.

- Esme look at me.

I left up her chin so she was looking in my eyes.

- You're the strongest person I know. You're beautiful and sweet and the most amazing women I've never met.

She shook her head and looked away.

- That's not true Carlisle. I'm nothing. i'm fat and not worth it. I'm not pretty and i've been rape... who would want to be with someone wh-

I was angry at that point, because of that bastard , she was broken. I had to stop her right then.

- Esme . Stop it please, it's killing me to see you like that, Believe me when I say that you are beautiful and strong and perfect. You have big heart . Don't you dare to believe what that bastard said to you. He never deserved you in the first place. What he did to you was horrible. but you're safe now. You're so wonderful Esme. Never forget or doubt it.

She loocked at me unsure, but nodded slighty .

- Good.

I hugged her again and let her cry on my shoulder. It's time now.

- Esme I haven't been totally honest with you too.

She looked up at me quizzinly

- I ... I was married once.

Esme P.O.V

I felt relief after telling Carlisle my story. After letting me cry on his shoulder , I could sense him getting nervous .

- Esme I haven't been totally honest with you too.

I look up at him quizzinly and bit shock.

- I ... I was married once.

I didn't know what to say. I was surprised. Sarah kept saying how he never get close to anyone.

- I met her in medical school. We started as friends but a couple months later, I asked her out. I was so convince that she was the one. 2 years after that , I asked her to marry me. We got married 8 months after that. One day, I was getting home from the hospital and ...

He sight before closing his eyes

- I caught her in bed with one of my closest friends. I was so hurt. I left. I ran. A week later, I received the paper for the divorce. I was distroy. I loved her. Well thats what I thought at that time. Since then, I haven't dated again, or allow myself to get close to someone. He finished and looked away.

I felt ... disappoint, hurt.

- I'm sorry Carlisle . She didn't deserve your love then. You're the sweetest guy I ever met. You'll meet someone when the right time comes and she will be a very lucky girl.

He turned and smiled sadly at me.

I hugged him and we layed down on the couch . No words were needed. My head on his shoulder , his arm around my waist and he was strocking my hair and I must of have fell asleep because I don't remember anything after that. But for the first time in a long time, I felt ... safe.
