Here's Chapter 11 Enjoy :) review please xx
Carlisle's POV
I have never felt so much hatred for another human being than I do now looking at what that vile excuse of a human being has done to his own daughter. How could someone do that?
He is supposed to look after her and keep her safe but all he has done is cause her unnecessary pain and suffering which she doesn't deserve. All the injuries she has suffered will take a long time to heal fully and in my opinion I don't understand how she has lasted as long as she done.
After Alice had changed and cleaned her up a little I wrapped her ribs up and stitched the cuts she had. In total she had 5 broken ribs and several cuts on her body. Her face was severely swollen and bruised. I give her some more morphine to help with the pain she was bound to be feeling.
Looking at her small form all bruised and battered made me want to go to the man who did this to her and make him feel every single ouce of the pain that she has suffered other the years. I don't even know the extent of what he has done to her over the years but I can imagine that she has suffered a lot of pain. I haven't know her very long but I already feel a special bond with her and class her as my daughter and I refuse to let her go back to that man.
'Is she going to be okay?' Edward asks me for the millionth time. I can tell just by looking at my son that he cares for this girl much more than a friend. I have never seen him so concerned over another human being than he is now.
'Physically she will be fine but she will need to get lots of rest and time to heal but she is also going to need a lot of support over the next couple of months. The main concern right this minute is her safety and ensuring that she remains safe which means that she is kept away from Charlie' I explained. If I had anything to do with it he would never see her ever again and definitely wouldn't ever lay a finger on her again.
'Don't worry I will not let him anywhere near her ever again. Shouldn't we contact the police?' Edward asks.
'Yes we should but we can't do anything until she wakes up. She needs to be the one to decide whether or not he is arrested. It is no use contacting the police without her permission because she will need to give an statement' I explained. I don't know personally whether she will be stronger enough to go through that but we will be there every step of the way. The whole family even through she hasn't met everyone doesn't want her to be harmed anymore even rose who is very bitter about humans.
'Do you think she will be strong enough to get through this?' he asks.
'I don't know to be honest son but she has been through so much and the fact that she is still alive amazes me. She is a very strong and brave woman and with the right support from all of us she will be fine but its going to take a long time to heal from all of this' I explain. To survive six years of constant abuse from her own father and so many years of bullying just shows how strong she really is.
'I love her Carlisle and I want to protect her from ever feeling the amount of pain she has felt over the years ever again. Seeing her in pain is the worse feeling I have ever felt. She is my life now' Edward says.
'I know you do son and I love her as if she is my own daughter and the entire family will protect her because whether they like it or not she is part of this family now and we protect our family' I say.
'Thank you Carlisle' he says and I nod at him. I would do anything to protect the people I love. Family comes before anything else and everyone of my family mean the world to me.
'When will she be awake?' Edward asks.
'I don't know for sure son. She needs a good couple of hours rest through, maybe you should ask Alice she will be able to tell us hopefully' I tell him. Just as I say that Alice comes skipping into the room her normal happy self.
'She will be awake in about 2 hours and she's going to take some persuading to talk to the police but once she knows that she has plenty of support and that he can't hurt her no more then I'm sure she will be willing to talk to them but I cant see until she decides what she wants to do about her father' Alice said in her chirpy happy voice.
'Okay but we need to be careful with her. We shouldn't pressure her into anything, she has to make her own mind up on what she does and we can't pressure her into telling us anything until she is absolutely ready to tell us what has been happening well we already know most of it but she will probably want to tell us' I say to them. She has to completely comfortable with talking to us before she will open up to us.
'I agree with Carlisle, we need to give her time to trust us enough to tell us everything that has happened but im sure she will eventually' Alice says.
'Yeah and don't worry we will give her as much time as she needs. I won't pressure her into anything, I just want her to be safe and not be harmed no more' Edward says.
'Yes I know son and like I said we won't let anything else happen to her, we will protect her no matter what' I say to him.
'I know. Where are the others?' he asks.
'I sent them out hunting. I didn't want to overwhelm Bella plus the smell of blood wouldn't of been so good with Jasper. They will be back in a few hours' Alice tells us. he nodded at her.
'Right I will be in my office if you need me. Shout me when she wakes up, she will probably need some more pain killers' I told him and left the room thoughts filled with worry. We needed to find out what we were going to do about her father sooner rather than later before he started looking for her. He was that drunk he probably doesn't even remember most of the evening. One thing I did know was he was going to pay for this.
Bella's POV
My entire body was stiff and ached like hell. I didn't have a clue where I was but I knew something I was laying on something so soft much more softer than the mattress I was forced to sleep on every night at home. Home, could I even really call that place a home? no more like a living hell.
I didn't know where I was but for some reason I felt oddly safe like I wouldn't get hurt like I did every single night at home. At home I spent hours scared to close my eyes not knowing when he would come next.
'Bella, Can you hear me?' I heard a sweet velvety voice say close to my ear. I had heard that voice before but didn't know exactly where from. I slowly open my eyes to see Edward hovering over me looking really worried.
'Edward?' I whisper. What is he doing here? Where the hell am I?
'Aww Bella, thank god. Are you okay?' he asks.
'I don't know. What happened? where am I?' I ask him getting a little scared. I could feel my heart racing and my breathing increased.
'Calm down Bella. Your safe and your at my house. can you not remember anything?' he asks. I try to search my mind to find what happened but its like there is a brick wall stopping me from seeing anything.
'No please tell me what happened' I whisper confused.
'Bella, your dad came and picked you up from the hospital and took you home and I was still at the hospital waiting for Carlisle when you phoned me. Can you not remember that?' he says. Flashes of memories came back to me.
Edward kneeling in front of me pleading with me to tell him whether someone else was hurting me apart from the bullies...
Charlie coming up behind him looking angrier than I have ever seen him before...
Charlie dragging me out of the hospital, me pleading with Edward to help me with my eyes...
Different scenarios of what was going to happen going through my head the entire drive home...
Charlie dragging me by the hair into the house and throwing me into the wall...
Screaming loads of profanities at me...
Him blaming me for my mothers death... Picking me up by the neck of my shirt and punching me straight in the face sending me flying into the wall again...
me begging him to stop...
Backing away from him angering him further...
Him on top of me pressing down hard on my already bruised and broken ribs...
landing punch after punch everywhere on my body...
Kicking him in the groin making him roll off me, me running towards the stairs but he grabs me by my ankle pulling me back down the stairs...
kicking out at him causing him to stumble backwards and hit his head on the coffee table and being knocked out cold...
running up the stairs into my room and locking it behind me and placing my bed against it...
remembering that Alice had placed there contacts in my phone...
phoning him and telling him I needed help...
Charlie banging on the door of my bedroom screaming to let him in...
Charlie breaks down my door sending my bed flying into the wall...
Grabbing hold of me and throws me into the wall...
Goes to kick me in the ribs but is stopped by Edward...
Charlie trying to punch Edward but Edward punches Charlie first knocking him out...
Carlisle kneeling next to me putting pressure on my cut on my forehead...
Giving me some painkillers...
telling Edward thank you for saving my life before falling into darkness...
By the time the images stop coming I am a emotional mess, tears are running down my face. I couldn't believe that they had saved me. If Edward hadn't come I would be dead right now.
'Bella, Bella are you okay?' Edward asked me worriedly, seeing the tears.
'I remember everything' I whispered and broke down into further sobs. I couldn't quite believe that my dad had actually nearly killed me. Edward got on the bed and wrapped his cold arms around me and held me to his chest rubbing circles on my back trying to get me to calm down. I felt like I was dreaming. I was physically free of Charlie for now but I knew he would in some way be with me for the rest of my life. The memories will forever stay with me and haunt me. especially the night he took everything away from me.
'It's going to be okay you know Bella. Your safe and we are not going to let anybody hurt you ever again I promise' Edward told me which I knew he was telling the truth and I could feel my body relax slightly. I felt safe in his arms and I never wanted him to leave me. I needed him and I was scared that he was going to leave me like everyone I have ever loved have. I would forever be grateful to him and his family no matter what happened. I don't know how long I stayed in his arms for but eventually I managed to pull myself together and stop crying but I made no move to move away from his arms. I hoped he didn't mind.
I looked up at him to see him looking down at me. I smiled slightly at him and he smiled back at me. I was starting to feel the pain that I was in. Almost every part of my body hurt like hell but laying against Edward soothed it. His body temperature was strangely very cold but right now I wasn't complaining.
'Edward?' I said.
'Yes Bella?' he said.
'Thank you for saving me' I whisper trying to keep the tears from returning.
'Your welcome Bella but you don't need to say thank you. I just wish you had told us before what was happening' Edward said sadness and anger filling his voice.
'I wanted to Edward but I was scared that nobody would believe me. he always said if I ever told anyone he would kill me and the person I told and I didn't want anyone getting hurt because of me. I still am scared, I don't want him to hurt you or your family' I say. guilt washed through my body at the thought of Charlie coming after the Cullen's because of me.
'Aww Bella, I promise me and my family will never let him come anywhere near you ever again. We will protect you with our lives' Edward said and that is what was worrying me. Charlie could quite easily come and try to kill them and me. I nod and cuddle further into him. I knew he would protect me.
'Thank you Edward' I whisper. My eyes were slowly starting to close as a wave of tiredness suddenly filled my body.
'Sleep now sweetheart' Edward whispered in my ear and starting humming a sweet tune whilst stroking my hair. I knew in that moment I was completely and uncontrollably in love with Edward Cullen.
