I had cried all the way home, stroking my baby who was restless beneath my skin. The only real way she would calm down was if Edward was here. But that was the problem. He wasn't. And he won't be for the seeable future. His touch, the only touch that was soothing. His voice, the only voice that was a melody to my ears. His smell, the only smell that managed to make my head spin. It was all gone.

The buzzing sound of the radio was the only thing keeping me conscious. Alice was talking. But everything to me was muffled, my sight blurred. My world startled.

Jacob was right. I was worthless. Nobody would ever want a broken girl like me, I was messed up. Too much work he would say. Edward only felt guilty that he knocked me up, he only wanted me because he felt bad. I felt like I was trapped in one of those terrifying nightmares; ones in which are recurring and never ending. The pound of my heart, the source of my life, ached. It hurt. It really hurt to be without him. The absence of him was every I looked, but it was a good feeling. It reminded me that our love was real. Or I thought it was, on my behalf anyway.

"Bella, its me." The voice belonged to Esme. "Can I come in?"

I was still at Alice and Jaspers house, still staying in their guest room. In fact, I hadn't left this room at all. Only Alice had come in to give me some things from the penthouse, including my laptop.

"Yeah." I called back, pulling my glasses from my eyes and pushing my laptop off my crossed legs.

She came in, a small smile on her lips. I felt sorry for her, it was me who was putting her in the middle between myself and Edward. I didn't want her to be there, I wasn't making her, but I still felt as if it were my fault.

"Alice called us, me and Carlisle came over for a cup of tea, or Coffee in Carlisle's case." She smiled lightly at the thought of her husband. I envied her. "I'm worried about you Bella." She admitted sitting down next to me on the bed.

"I'm fine." I said. Though she gave me her 'I'm not stupid' look, I didn't care.

"He's not fine either Bella. Emmett told us that he's locked himself in your room. He won't come out, I'm beginning to believe that Tanya is back to make him as unhappy as she did ten years ago." She murmured. I knew that because Edward was her son she'd want what was best for him. But I also knew that she cared for me.

After my explosion at Edward about me being raped by Jacob, Esme had comforted me all that night. She didn't ask any questions as I cried. She just held me.

I didn't reply to her, I just sat there, staring into space like I usually did when someone gave me updates on what Edward was doing.

"Bella, I know what you heard was shocking. Painful. But Tanya Denali is a vicious woman. Carmen and Eleazar, her parents, are polar opposites. Which always brings me to believe they adopted her." She shifted closer to me, and I let a few tears fall down my cheeks. "Tanya is almost 40 years old. She met Edward when he was 15, Tanya was 29. We were all a tight knitt family, Carlisle knew Eleazar from work. They'd come around for family get togethers bringing along their children as well.

I never realised how much of a liking Tanya took to Edward. They'd always disappear somewhere, or Edward would go out and not come home till the next day. He said he was with his friends, but I had this bad feeling. Eventually weeks turned into months, and Edward started coming home with bruising on his body. As his mother, I demanded to know what was going on. Of course he wouldn't tell me.
