Why me?

So, I'm sorry the last chapter was sooo short, but trust me. This deserved a chapter all on it's own. Seriously. And I'd like to say thanks to everyone reading this story and reviewing.
Recap: Bella has a wreck, killed her brother. she moved to Forks. Met Edward and James. James rapes her, and Edward comforts her.
-------------------------
I didn't want to face school. I didn't want to see him. How exactly do you go to school and face your rapist the next day? Most of the morning went as it usually did. Eric followed me to each class. Gym with Mike. Then lunch.
My stomach ached as I walked to the lunchroom. James was already there. He was smiling and talking to a few guys. I tried not to pay him attention but it was hard. Then I noticed him and the other guys were staring at me.
I felt Edward's touch on my side. I looked up at him and then back at James. Edward's eyes followed mine. Both our eyes landing him right as he made and obscene humping motion with him hips. Edward's grip tightened on my hip and gasped out and he let go again.
I put my hand on his hand and he knowingly nodded and he held me close as we walked to the Cullen's. Being forced to pass James on the way.
"Hey babe, didn't you like the thunder down under" James laughed as we walked by, I only cringed and didn't speak.
"You know what, James. Fuck off. Speak to her again and I'll slit your fucking throat" Edward said stopping mid stride. I urged him on but he wouldn't move. James looked at his friends and laugh.
"Oh, the sluts fucking Cullen now." He retorted
"You son of a bitch" Before I could grasp what was happening the hand on my waist disappeared and Edward was on top of James hitting him over and over. I only stood there. My legs refusing to move. I saw Emmett and Jasper run past me and put Edward off James, before he did any real harm.
I felt a strange sense of satisfaction seeing the blood on James's lip.
"Don't you fucking touch her. Ever. Again." Edward shouted as he was pulled from the crowded room. I stood there my legs still locked into place. My eyes locked on the blood on James's lip. Finally Alice pulled me away. I didn't know it but I was crying. It was silent but not unnoticed. The rest of the day people whispered and stared. Biology was the only class I gave a damn about right now. Being with him. Being with her protector.
She walked into class but Edward wasn't there. She sighed anxiously as the teacher called her up front.
"Isabella you're needed in the office" He frowned. I walked out and down the breeze way to the building labeled as the office.
"I was called up here?" I sort of stated sort of asked the lady at the front desk.
"Yes the principle needs to see you." My stomach churned, as I was escorted to the closed door. The office lady knocked twice and poked her head in.
"Isabella Swan is here, Sir." She said there was a quick exchange of words, and I was shoved into the room where Edward, James and a rather large balding man sat. His face etched with a permanent frown as he offered me a chair.
I refused and asked if I could move the chair away from James. He told me no, to sit down. Edward only growled in protest.
"Ms.Swan it has come to my attention the fight in the cafeteria earlier was because of you." I grimaced and looked at Edward who did the typical 'I'm-innocent' shrug. James on the other hand held a smug grin. He knew I wouldn't tell.
"Yes, sir. It was" I said trying to be more confident.
"Can you tell me what happened?" His question was more of an order than a question.
"Well Edward and I were walking through the caf and James stopped us. He made several insult, and basically called me a slut. For no reason" I replied.
"Are you stupid? You sleep with me one day and then completely ignore me for Cullen? That's a good reason to call you a slut." He retorted. I felt sick in my stomach.
"You bastard" Edward replied with anger.
"Mr.Cullen you will hold your tongue in this office!" The fat man shouted. The vein in his forehead clearly visible. I swallowed hard and looked at him
"It was hardly sex and you know it" I said as calmly as possible, the shaking in my hands giving me away. James face changed for a half a seconds realizing what I was telling the principle "You raped me."
It was almost like all the air was sucked out of the room.
"That's a damn lie and you know it, slut" James said standing up.
"Ms.Swan, if these accusations are true, then why have you not went to the police?" the fat man asked in a disbelieving tone.
"I didn't want anyone to know." I said staring at the floor so I didn't see the 3 sets of eyes on me.
"Show him the bruises, Bella" Edward encouraged. I was only catching my breath in pants as I stood and lifted my shirt.
"That's fucking bullshit!" James shouted.
Everything began to blur together.The police were called, but I refused to speak to them. I was asked if they could preform an exam on me, I refused. They asked if I was going to let them processed with this at all and I said no.
When I got home Charlie was there. Waiting. His eyes following me through the house.
"How was school Bella?" He asked casually.
"Boring, dad. Why?" He never asked me about school.
"Well I heard some of my officers were called out there today" I froze. "About Edward and James. They're friends of your's right."
"Right." I said shortly. If he couldn't hear my heartbeat he was deaf.
"Bella, what happened?" He frowned and waited for me to confess my sins.
"I don't want to talk about it, ok?" I was practically begging him to let me go upstairs.
"They told me you refused all the procedures, Bella. Why?"
"Because, I don't want to" I said sitting down, he was obviously going to force me into this conversation.
"I won't make you do this, because I understand it is alot to bare with everything you've been through. But consider it. What about the next girl?" Charlie said placing his hand on mine.
"No. I'm not going to." I shuttered to think what he would do to me if he was found not guilty.
"Can I see? The bruises I mean." He ask timidly. I lifted me shirt and tucked it under my bra and the rolled my sleeves up. He closed his eyes and shook his head.
"Do you at least want to go see Dr.Cullen and see if he'll put you on some pain medication?" He asked softly as if not to agitated my bruises any further.
"No dad. I'll be fine. Let me sleep?" I asked as calmly as I could.
"What do I do if Eric and the others drop by?" I looked at the calender and realized it was Friday..
"Tell them I'm sick."
He nodded and I headed up the stairs.
"I have to work tomorrow, by the way Bells" But his words fell on deaf ears, as I was already upstairs and face down in my pillow sobbing.
--------------------
Kinda short. I'd hoped to make it longer but I'm not very good with fight scenes. Next chapter is another smut chapter so keep your eyes out, those of you reading for the smut.
