Saving Me

Chapter 1: Rainy Nights

The town of Forks was quiet, the street lights were on and only a few people were walking up and down the streets, the ones who were braving the rain.

In the forest, a young woman was walking out, her face was pale white tears were falling down her face. Her jacket was hanging loosely over her forearms, going unnoticed by the young woman who was holding her stomach. Her hair and clothes were disheveled, mud coating nearly every inch of her, too much for the rain to wash away. A twigsnapped behind her making her gasp. She started running down the hill as fast as she could, tears falling faster down her face.

She ran down the familiar streets, fear rushing through her system. She came to her house and ran up the stairs. She practically ran through the door if her brother hadn't opened it. "Bella?" Her brother called a little confused at her state. She looked over at him and collapsed on the floor sobbing. "Bella? Bella what happened? What's wrong?" He asked kneeling in front of his sister.

"Jasper?" Their father called curiously.

Jasper pulled back his sister's hands and saw blood all over her hands and more gushing down her stomach. "Shit!" Charlie Swan exclaimed grabbing the phone to call 911.

"She's going into shock!" Jasper told his father, panic clear in his voice and his eyes wide in terror.

"Keep talking to her," Charlie told his son.

Jasper lowered his sister gently to the floor, catching the towel Charlie tossed him from the kitchen and pressing it to the source of the bleeding. "Bella, talk to me," he insisted, as he applied pressure on her stomach.

"Jasper get her belt, the tight clothes have to be loosened up," Charlie insisted.

Jasper went to do so when he noticed that her pants were already partly undone. "Dad…" he trailed off. Charlie saw it too, placing his hands on his daughter's face.

"Bella, can you hear me?" He asked.

Jasper looked up when he heard the ambulance sirens and got up from the floor. Charlie pressed his hand against the wound on his daughter's side. "Stay with me baby," he told his daughter.

Bella woke up to the sounds of an EKG Machine beeping. Her vision was blurred as she looked around the room to find a blood bag on the stand along with her IV. She looked around to find her brother sitting there. "Hey," he said quietly.

"Jazz…" she croaked out, tears falling down her face.

Jasper sat on the bed and she hugged him sobbing. "Shh, shh, shh, I'm here," he whispered stroking her hair. He kissed the top of her head. He rubbed her back while she cried against him. "It was him wasn't it?" He asked. She nodded her head slowly. "I'll kill him, dear God help me I will kill him," he hissed angrily. Bella gripped his shirt.

"Jasper don't talk like that please," she sobbed.

She continued to cry. "I don't want a hero I want my big brother," she told him. Jasper stroked her hair, holding her close.

"I'm here," he assured her.

He had her lie back just as the door opened. "Bella, hey you're awake," her boyfriend, Jacob, murmured. Bella sniffled a little as he walked over, hugging her gently.

"He's hardly left your side since you were brought here, I had to force him to leave," Jasper commented.

"Uh…I brought you something from the gift shop downstairs…I was bored," Jacob commented.

He placed a bag by her side and Bella opened it to find a stuffed wolf in there. "Jake that's sweet," she answered taking it out. Jasper took his leave, kissing her forehead as he left them alone. Jacob sat next to her, holding her hand.

"I am so sorry that I left you alone there," he said quietly.

She shook her head. "Jake, you had to go home, I was stupid and got lost," she answered. Tears pressed against her eyes. "Why can't he leave me alone?" She asked sobbing. Jacob got into the bed, holding her close. "Why can't I be happy without him barging into my life?" She sobbed.

"He can't hurt you, ever again, I promise," he whispered, kissing the side of her head.

Bella cried softly against him, gripping the front of his shirt. Jacob gently rocked her back and forth, trying to calm her. Jasper came back in after awhile and brought in a nurse. "I need to check the stitches," she informed. Jacob got up from the bed and the nurse lifted the gown up, revealing a hundred stitches going from her belly button to her rib. "I brought a sedative so you can rest easier," she informed.

"No, I don't want to go to sleep," Bella insisted.

"Rest is the best thing right now Bells," Jasper answered.

He held his little sister's hand. "We'll be right here when you wake up again," he assured her. He stroked the side of her face. "When you wake up dad will be here and you can give him a statement," he informed. She nodded her head slowly and the nurse injected the sedative into her IV. In the matter of seconds, exhaustion took over and she fell asleep again.

Later that night, Bella's door opened again and someone walked in, placing a vase of blue carnations by her bed. "You look pretty in blue," the person whispered. He reached over and stroked her face gently. He let out a sigh as he sat on the edge of her bed, careful not to wake her. "I won't let anything happen to you again, Bella, I promise," he whispered. He leaned forward and kissed her forehead before leaving just in case her brother or boyfriend woke up. The only evidence that he was even there were the carnations beside her bed.
