Why me?

Thanks for all the wonderful reviews. And soo many views on my first story and it's not even been a day =] Last I checked we were at 246 hits.
Okay, here we go.
Recap: Bella has a wreck, kills her younger brother but has no memory. Moves to Forks with her dad. Meet (human) james and Edward. James invites her for a day out of the house, but things turn bad when the memories of the wreck come back and James raped her and left her in Edward's driveway, just to be a fucker.
--------------------------------
I laid in the driveway attempting to cover myself but it did not good since I had no function of my arms. Edward raced passed me for a moment trying to catch the car, but he couldn't. He came back to me, his eyes holding an apologetic frown.
Taking me inside he untied my ankles and wrists, Alice found me some clothes, and Esme made me something to drink. I wasn't the first girl and they all knew it. We all also knew I probably wouldn't be the last
I don't know how long I lay there on his couch, sobbing but Edward lay with me the entire time. I can't say I wanted male comfort, but I did want Edward. I wanted him to hold me and tell me it was all okay. Like mom had the day I felt Phoenix. And he did.
When I got up from the couch it was night out. I thought about Charlie and what I should do, should I go home? Or should I go to the hospital?
"What are you thinking?" He said looking at me with that same frustrated face he made often.
"About what to do." I confided "Whether I said go to the police or go home. Not that the options are much different from one another."
"I hope you don't mind. But Alice called Charlie and told her you were staying with her tonight. He said it was fine."
I let out a sigh of absolute relief.
"Thank you...." I said with a small smile. I didn't want to face Charlie. Not like this. "But I need a shower."
The cum had crusted on my thighs and my skin was covered in dirt and grass stains.
"Bella" He said catching my attention. He took a deep breath and contemptated his words "I think you should go to the police."
"No." I said darkly "I don't want anyone in this world to know what happened today. Much less everyone."
He closed his eyes and rubbed them a little.
"Bella, go if not for you. But for the next girl. Or the next girl. Or the next girl." Edward begged.
"No. What about the girl before me? She told. No one believed her. He's the son of the richest man in Washington state. He can do what he wants. If you haven't noticed" I said before standing "Just let it be for tonight, Edward. Please"
He sighed defeatingly.
"Can you show me where the bathroom is?" I asked. He led the way up the magnificent stairs and down the hall to a beautiful bathroom with a jacuzzi tub.
"I don't think you'll want to turn the jacuzzi on." He frowned. I stared to undress without a word. He seemed stunned as I started taking my clothes off.
"He took my innocence." I said dully, looking at his face in the mirror. "What's it matter who seeing me naked now" Tears pooled in my eyes, threatening to spill over. My shirt fell to the floor and I saw my naked body for the first time since it happened. In my face there were no marks aside from my smeared make-up. But on my chest, stomach, and arms there were dark purple bruises everywhere.
A large set of teeth marks was imprinted on my breast and two large circular bruises covered my abdomen. On my upper arms were a set of perfectly shapen hand prints. There were various cuts and scrapes on my upper body, all matted with dirt.
Closing my eyes I took a deep breath and collapsed on the tile floor, in more sobs. I don't know which of the Cullen's it was who came in to check on us but I felt four hands lifting me back on my feet.
"I need a shower" I said said through my sobs "I need to get it all off"
'Get Alice and have her come help?' I heard Edward say, his voice watery. Two hand disappeared from my body as Edward softly cooed in my ear, rubbing my hair.'Will you help her get cleaned off?'
'Of course, it's the least I could do' Alice replied. Water started to run. Louder and Louder, when it finally stopped only leavening...
Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip.
I passed out.
I wasn't a dreamless sleep, but I wasn't dreaming. I was falling, sinking, and drowling.
Drip. Drip. Drip.
I tried to fight for air, but none would fill me lungs.
Drip.Drip.Drip.
Crunch.
I heard the pain before I felt it.
And then everything disappeared into screaming.
My screaming.
I was awake again, screaming. Edward was shaking me, trying to wake me. I opened my eyes taking deep breaths.
This is why I didn't sleep at anyone else's house. I would sleep, and dream, and then they would all find out. And I had kept the accident a complete secret since I moved here.
Looking around I saw Edward, Alice, Emmett, Jasper, Esme and Carlisle all staring at me, with worried eyes.
"I'm sorry I woke you..." I said not entirely sure what was appropriate for the moment.
"Everyone can you give us room. Well everyone but Jasper." He said with alittle relief I was okay. Everyone else headed back for their rooms, leaving only Jasper, Edward and I in Edward's room.
"Bella, we know there is something you're not telling us. Jasper and I that is. We know you're hiding something" I felt my heart leap in my throat unsure of what he meant.
"What do you mean?"
"I have a special talent, Bella. And I know something's wrong with you. There has been even before this happened." Jasper spoke up, and seemed to be studying me. I felt calm wash over me, and I gave him a strange look.
"A special talent?" I asked confused.
"I can feel things. Things you are feeling. And Edward, can hear things. That you think." He confided. I assumed they knew I wouldn't tell seeing as they had then ultimate secret, or so they thought, on me.
"You're kidding" I said dully, not in the mood for jokes.
"No. I've felt your absolutely anguish since you moved here." Jasper frowned and pushed another bought of calm over me. "Watch. In for the next 30 seconds you're feel unbearably happy."
He looked me in the eyes and I felt absolutely elated, and then it was gone replaced with this unnatural calm. I found myself lost for words.
"But, Bella. I can't read 'your' mind"
"Is there something wrong with me?" I asked frantically.
"I can read minds and you think there is something wrong with you?" He laughed. I didn't find it the least bit funny.
"So. will you please tell me what has you so miserable? Please." Edward pleaded. I closed my eyes not wanting to meet his eyes as I spoke.
"I was in an accident. Last December, right before Christmas." The images flooding my head. " My little brother died. And it was my fault."
With that I weaved the newly unearthed tale to them, both quiet as a mouse as I spoke. Like children listening to their grandfather's stories of the war. Only now their face was ridden with horror.
"Yesterday. When James" I caught as the word that was suppose to go there "me. the memories came back. They were fresh and hurt as bad as when mom told me what had happened."
Edward sat in awe that someone could go through so much pain, and still seem so normal. Key word being 'seem'. He reach over pulling me into his arms again.
"I'm so sorry, Bella." He said softly stroking my hair. I no longer felt Jasper's prescience anymore and knew I could trust my emotions now. I felt an strange feeling in my body that I had long forgotten. I felt loved. Did I love Edward? I guess the bigger question being, could I love Edward? I didn't know, but I knew something was definitely there. We lay there till I fell asleep again.

kay this is was a pretty basic chapter. Promise the next will be much much much more interesting. But this was kind of a filler and I didn't want to bleed the next chapter with this chapter because it deserves a chapter all on it's own. =3
