After a few minutes, the door opened causing me to bury myself deeper into my fluff. I heard the footsteps and felt the dip as someone sat on the edge of the bed and heard Carlisle say "Aqua... Baby girl... Your bleeding, can I take a look? Make sure you are ok?" I sighed and sat up letting my fluff fall to my lap, he simply looked at the cut and said: "Ok it's not very deep so I'm gonna glue it then wrap it." I nodded and he pinched it closed then applied the glue, I winced cause I mean the cut hurts man. Then he wrapped gauze around my neck and said "Are you hurt anywhere else?" I shrugged and he said, "Do you feel any pain anywhere?" I nodded and stood up before opening the blanket and revealing a giant bruise on my waist and a few scratches where I moved too much and the knife nicked me as the guy cut my dress off me. 

He felt around the bruise and said "Ok well it's not internal bleeding so you will be ok physically. Do you want to talk about what happened?" I shook my head no and he held his arms open to me. I wrapped the blanket around me and fell into his lap, he simply held me tight and covered me up with the fluffy duvet again. He said "Just know, you will be ok. You are safe here and we will not let anyone harm you while you are in this house." I nodded and closed my eyes, he said "I know you are scared and tired but... How do you feel about the information you got this morning?" I sighed "Well, I told Bella, and she was supportive but I just feel like... I don't know. Just confused." He said, "I know, but we will help you with whatever it is you need or want."

I pulled out of his grasp and threw the blankets on the bed, heading for the bathroom I said " All I need is to scrub off their touch and then lay in that bed and never move again." As I walked into the bathroom he said "Ok but don't get the gauze wet and ill have Alice bring up an outfit for you."  I nodded and as I almost closed the door completely I said "Hey Carlisle?" he turned to face me as he had his hand on the bedroom door. "Thank you for taking me in, I know your not my dad, neither birth nor raised but... you have been there for me more than Alex or Charlie has been in the short time I've been here. So thank you and I love you." I shut the door but I heard him say "Your welcome Baby Girl, I love you too." 

I spent a long time in a hot bath scrubbing my skin until I felt clean, Alice eventually came in and said "Hey Aqua it's time to get out, your gonna scrub your skin raw." I said, "But I still feel their hands." She said, "I know but... it's not gonna go away with a shower." I dropped the scrubber and let my body fall under the water. Alice grabbed me for the water got to my collar bone and pulled me out of the tub. 

I wrapped the towel she handed me around my body and went to the bedroom. On my bed was an outfit which I put on.

I crawled on the bed and Alice joined me, I said "We are missing one

I crawled on the bed and Alice joined me, I said "We are missing one." Alice giggled and said, "Jazz get in here!" He came in and laid in the bed with Ali and me.  Ali said "Ok so spill... What happened?" I cuddled into their chests as they wrapped their arms around me and said "Well, Bella and I split from the girls to go to a bookstore, and when we left it was dark. Bella wanted to go down an Alley, said it would be faster. I knew something felt wrong with the Alley but..."

Jazz said "But you went down the Alley..." I nodded "And then the guys were behind us and they were drunk and pacing us. We got cornered and the next thing I know I was in his grasp and there was a knife to my neck and he threatened to kill both me and Bella and I just wanted her to be ok. So I tried to be as still as possible to not piss them off but... it's natural to try and get away, luckily you all showed up but..."

Ali said, "But you can still feel their hands." I nodded which made Jasper tighten his hold on me, I heard a knock on the door so I said "Come in." Rosalie opened the door and had a smoothie in her hand. She said, "Can I come in?" I said "Sure." She came in and sat on the edge of the bed giving me the cup. I took a sip as she said "I know you think this isn't gonna go away... But this feeling you have will subside... eventually." 

I said, "How do you know?" She said "Because I was turned into a vampire due to my ex-fiance. Royce King was the most eligible bachelor in town and I was who he wanted to wed. I was walking home late one night from my friend Vera's house when he caught me. He was drunk and so were his friends. Carlisle found me in the gutter, beaten, bloody, and raped. I with my newfound vampirism killed them all, but I didn't spill their blood because I knew if I did then id drink them and I didn't want any part of them in me again." 

I said "So it goes away?" she kissed my head and said, "Yes my sweet girl, it will go away." I nodded and she left the room, as Alice and Jasper moved to get up I grabbed their hands and whispered "Please don't leave me." Alice said, "Never, you are our best friend and we will always be there for you." Jasper kissed my temple and said, "Sleep Aqua, we will be here when you wake." I snuggled in and fell asleep.
