~1 week later~

Bella's Pov:

I stood in the Cullens bathroom stripping my clothes off. Looking in the mirror at my reflection the bruise yellowing under my eye enough I would be able to go back to school without the human eye noticing anything. Vampires, however, could see with perfect clarity. Esme and Carlisle had been perfect parents since coming back they doted on me, much to my dismay. Insisting on caring for me and cooking for me just every little thing. Carlisle did a check up a few days ago which was just the basics. He told me it was up to me if I wanted him to check how my abrasions down below were healing. Which I adamantly declined. It's bad enough he knew about those injuries it would be absolutely humiliating to have him see them for himself.

Emmett rarely left my side and Alice to my surprise and relief had given me some distance, no longer demanding to do things with me, such as Bella Barbie. I was supposed to go home soon. The Cullens minus Esme were out hunting right now and as soon as they got back, I was to go back to Charlies. I don't know why that scared me so much. Maybe because leaving the Cullen's sight would make it easier for them to leave me again.

Turning on my Bluetooth I began singing my favorite song from Taylor swift. I turned the shower on steaming hot, I could never burn away the memories of the sicko's hands on me, but it didn't hurt to try. Stepping in the water scalded my skin causing me to sigh and continue singing.

We were both young.

When I first saw you

I closed my eyes, and the flashbacks began.

I'm standing there on the balcony.

In summer air

See the lights see the party the ball gown.

I see you make your way through the crowd.

I couldn't help but be thankful for Emmett's presence that night as I dove my way from the balcony.

And say Hello,

Little did I know.

That you were Romeo you were

Throwing pebbles

And my daddy said.

Stay away from Juliet.

I couldn't help the strange feelings that were beginning to bloom inside of me for Em, He saved my life amid the darkest night. He didn't treat me like I was broken or dirty. If anything, we had became closer in this past week then me and Edward had in a years time.

And I was crying on the staircase begging

You please don't go

The hardest part now was also how close and how fast I had bonded with Emmett because I was giving him a weapon to destroy me, I knew if they left again that would be it. My life would end soon after.

And I said Romeo take me somewhere we

Can be alone

I'll be waiting all there's

Left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story baby just say

Yes

I hadn't intended to fall for Emmett especially not this fast. what about Edward. From what I had gathered he had found himself a new distraction and had not been with the family for at least two months. Letting go was good for me. But maybe falling again so fast showed I was a bit codependent.

So I sneak out to the garden

To see you

We keep quiet cause were dead if they knew

So close your eyes

A part of me wondered what Edward would say now if he knew I was falling for his brother.

Escape this town for a little while

Oh oh

Cause you were Romeo I was a scarlet letter

And my daddy said stay away

From Juliet

But you were everything to me

I was begging you please don't go

In this short time Emmett had become my anchor. I needed him like food to survive

I Love Emmett I cant help it.

And I said Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone

I thought I heard a knock on the door, but then when I focused I heard nothing but silence aside from the water running.

I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and ill be the princess…..

The music shuts off, "What the hell?" I yell to myself, peaking out of the curtain to find Emmett standing there by the mirror. My Bluetooth speaker in his hand. "Shit!" I yell and jumped backwards into the shower. Bad move, slipping on the soap slick bottom of the tub causing my upper half to fling forward, I grabbed the shower curtain hoping in vain to stop myself. The curtain tore quickly away from the rod. Closing my eyes, holding the curtain to my naked body for dear life, I awaited impact but it never came. Thankfully the curtain was wrapped snuggly around me so I didn't have to worry about being exposed.

I looked up to see Emmett's golden eyes staring down at me. "Why hello there Juliet" he chuckled , standing me back on my feet. My face turned a brilliant red. "How much did you hear?" I asked, my face getting redder as he stood there. He chuckled causing me to mock slap his arm, careful not to hurt myself as I was still banged up enough. Emmett just chuckled at me once more. " All of it, I got home right when you got in the shower" he stated innocently. I looked down my face heating up further if that was possible. "So you heard me say I um…. I…" I couldn't finish. I knew what had slipped my lips as I was singing. "You love me?" He asked, taking my chin in his hand to lift my face to his. I nodded shyly. "This love is difficult but its real" he quoted softly the lines of Taylors song that had not played yet.

I tried looking down shyly once more but his hand was soft yet firm and unmoving made sure I kept our visual connection. "I love you and that's all I really know" He quoted. He surprised me with how sensitive he was towards me. For someone as masculine as Emmett it must have taken a lot to not only quote the lines of her song but to admit he even knew them to begin with.

We stared into each others eyes for a moment longer, all embarrassment and humility forgotten. He told last night that he was done with his marriage to Rosalie. Not why but just that some marriages couldn't come back when it got to a certain point. Our heads began to close the distance, Emmett a bit hesitant giving me a chance to back away he released my chin. I closed my eyes closing the last of the distance between us as his rock hard lips molded perfectly with mine.

~knock knock~

"Damn it" he swore as he pulled away from me. Giving me an apologetic smile. "I'll deal with them, you get dressed." He said kissing my forehead and heading out the door without another glance. I felt empty and dirty again not to mention embarrassed as I had ruined their bathroom curtain. "Don't worry about it" I heard Alice yell from outside the door somewhere causing me to chuckle.

Doing as I was told I went into the adjoining room replacing the curtain with a big fluffy white towel to start. I had just gotten my pants on and top when I heard yelling. "Where the hell is she?!"

A deep male voice shouted, sending shivers down my back. "I don't believe that is any of your concern!" I heard Emmett reply loudly. "It is you filthy bloodsucker!" the males voice yelled in reply. I ran down the stairs careful not to trip, but luck is never in my favor I realized as I tripped on the last stair. Emmett ignored the person on the other side of the door and caught me at vamp speed. "Thank you" I blushed.

"Well its good to see your still human" The male sneered in an angry voice. I looked at him "Jake?!" I asked incredulous. But then looking down remembering I wasn't talking to anyone but Emmett really. "What's wrong with you?" he asked me. I just shook my head mumbling quietly nothing. "Your real slow on updates aren't you pup" Emmett sneered. I knew he was talking about what had happened to me almost 2 weeks ago and my face burned with humiliation begging with my mind that Em didn't say anything. "Why are you here?" Jake asked saving me from my inner turmoil. "I could ask you the same thing!" Emmett snapped back at him. I gave him a knowing look asking him quietly to leave me with jake for a moment. He nodded hesitantly before replying "I'll be upstairs."

"What you can live a few moments without your precious body guard?" Jake sneered. I scowled at him, what was his problem?! I noticed he looked different. His long hair cut off and he was shirtless dawning a tattoo on his shoulder. "Your pathetic Isabella!" jake snapped as I looked at him. We just stood there glaring at each other for what seemed forever. What the hell happened to him? He was being so mean. "Lets cut to the chase Bella, what the hell were you doing Fucking that cousin of that newton kid, its all over town!" he sneered in disgust. My jaw dropped. My heart felt itself sinking down into my toes. I felt the tears start to fall down my red face. "Your crying?!" he yelled with a small evil chuckle. "Your such a hypocritical slut!" that was it, I fell to my knees sobbing. He was right I was no good nothing more then a useless slut and now the whole town knew. Esme and Emmett ran downstairs at that moment.

Emmett slammed Jake into the wall growling at him. I was on the floor knees pulled to my chest. Esme knelt beside me and wrapped her arms around me comfortingly pulling me into her lap rocking slightly.

"What the fuck is your problem dude?! She was raped you piece of Dog shit!" Emmett screamed in Jakes face. He was seething looking every bit of the vampire he was. I noticed jake had been trembling but it quickly stopped at these words. Just continuing to glare at Em. "Apologize, mutt!" Emmett demanded. Jake looked dumbfounded. "Your sticking up for that slut, let me guess she is fucking you now too such a lying..." He didn't get to finish as Emmett punched him in the stomach causing him to double over and fall to the floor choking.

I jumped out of Esme's arms wiping furiously at the tears streaming down my face and ran upstairs to the room I had been using. Jake was right I was nothing but a useless dirty slut now. A few minutes later I heard Emmett yell again. "Now get the fuck out and don't ever show you filthy face around here or around Bella again or I'll wipe the sidewalk with it!" The front door slammed and a second later a knock sounded at my door. "Bells?" Emmett called softly. "Go away" I sobbed into the silken bed pillows. "Bells please…" He started. "I said GO AWAY!" I snapped. A few seconds of silence and I heard him shuffle away from the door at a slow humans pace. Throwing myself into the pillow I screamed with all my might. "Why me?" I cried after my voice had became horse from screaming. "Nobody knows why these things happen, there are just sick people in this world" came a soft voice beside me causing me to jump. I looked up to see Alice through my bleary tear filled eyes. "What do you want?" I asked through choked back sobs.

"Oh Bella" Alice said sadly, coming over to me pulling me into her hard yet soft embrace. I began to wonder as I sit in her arms, how long had I been there? "You've been in here for 2 hours" Alice answered before I could ask. Damn all seeing pixie. "Where's Emmett?" I asked, though dreading the answer. Had he left like I told him to? Would he finally see me as the burden I am and give up? Alice wiped my hair out of my face, lifting me to look at her. "He just went for a walk Hun, he should be back any time. He thought you needed some time to yourself." I started crying, he was coming back. Alice just shooshed me soothingly "He just wants to make you happy Bella, he loves you" She stated happily.

"What if Jakes right?" I said shaking my head wiping my nose on my sleeve. Biting my lip I could taste the saltiness of my tears entering my mouth. "I'm not good enough for him" I could hear the double meaning in my own words and wondered if Alice could as well. "I'm not good enough for anyone" I cried. "Now you stop that!" Alice snapped, as the door burst open to a heavenly site. "She's right bells, you are so much better then me" Emmett said looking at me sadly . I looked up at him smiling through my tears beyond grateful he had returned. You wont see me betting against Alice but I still held my doubts. Alice let me go and stood up walking to the door. "I'll leave you two alone to converse" she said then stepped out with a small smile.

I looked up into Emmett's overgrown childlike eyes and before my brain could catch up with my mouth I said what I had been holding in " I love you Em" I said, before burying my reddening face into his shoulder. "Oh Silly girl I love you too" he responded causing my heart to leap. I let my heavy tear stained eyes close in exhaustion and I drifted off as Emmett wrapped his arms around me pulling me into his lap. I was in heaven just being in his arms inhaling his scent felt right. This is where I belonged all along.

So what did you think? A bit fluffy I know. I know she is falling quickly for Emmett but remember he is her soul mate and her safe space since he saved her. Trust me I have been through it and there was one person I trusted. But I understand everyone has a different reaction. Any questions or ideas going forward let me know.
