Chapter one

Ever since middle school the cullens and hales bullied me. At first it was names, but as i grew up it became more and more, they threatened me if i told anyone i would get it. I didn't know what it was, but i didn't want to find out.
"Smella, get over here. Where do you think your going?" Alice yelled, she grabbed my collar of my shirt. The rest of them came and helped. Class had started ten minutes ago, surely no one would hear me scream if i did.
"Answer me!" Alice yelled, kicking my stomach.
"Answer her." Rosalie growled when i stayed quiet.
"Why should i?" I snapped, someone slapped me on my cheek, probably Jasper, he was very protective of Alice.
The beat me up from another ten minutes, i crawled to my car and got in. I drove home. The first thing i did was treat my wounds, the cut my skin in several places. Then i called my mom. I was leaving.
A year later

I drove back to Charlie's house for a surprise visit. I was staying in forks from now on. I had change a lot over the last year, my hair was a beautiful brown color, it was wavy, i had perfect brown eyes, flawless skin, perfect balance, and i rock. I had a wonderful sense of fashion. Today i was currently wearing black skinny jeans, a plaid top and heels.
I walked inside where Charlie was eating. "Hey Dad." i greeted.
"Bells." He said, not looking up. He suddenly did look up i grinned. "You're here, i thought-"
"I decided to come early." We hugged then i told him i had to get to school. I grabbed my bag and jumped into my silver eclipse.
I drove to school, as i got out everyone stared at me. I smirked then i went inside. I collected my map and schedule, though i wouldn't need them. I spotted the Cullens and Hales tormenting a girl. She looked scared. I chuckled and walked over to them.
"Hey guys, what do you think you're doing?" I asked, their heads whipped in my direction. Did they recognize me?
"Who are you?" Rosalie asked, crossing her arms.
"Me, i should ask you the same question. Who are you to think you can bully people like that?" I asked, crossing my arms.
"Excuse me?" Emmett asked, wrapping an arm around Rosalie.
"Who are you to bully people like this." I snapped.
"We can do what we want." Edward growled, grabbed my arm. I snatched it away.
"Really, because you can be arrested for doing this stuff, Edward." I spat his name out.
"Don't treat my brother like that." Alice snapped.
"Oh, so your temper has grown, wow, i remember the days when Jasper defended you. Where is he?" I asked, scanning the parking lot. "I was sure he was part of your little gang."
"What gang?" Emmett asked.
"You, Rosalie, Edward, Alice, and Jasper." I snapped. "You really are stupid."
"Don't talk to him like that." Rosalie tried to punch my face, i moved and blocked her arm, i twisted it so if she moved her arm would break. I took a little taekwondo.
"Don't talk to me like that, Hale. If you know what's best, you would stop bullying people while i am around." I let go of her arm and walked away, i could tell they were still staring at me, all of them.
I attended my first class, then my second, and third. Before i knew it was time for lunch. I got into the line and started placing food on my tray, once i got everything i wanted i paid and sat down. The Cullens and Hales were still staring at me.
"How do you know us?" A voice asked. I looked up, they were at my table.
"I had a friend who was bullied until she moved. By you." I answered.
"Who?" Some blonde girl asked. I was guessing she was with Edward, they way they were spaced.
"Bella Swan." I answered.
They all gasped.
"Geez, whats wrong?" I snap. "Feeling sorry, Edward? Did you push it a bit too far?"
Edward looked away.
"Eddie, sweetie, let's go." The blondie said.
"Who are you?" Rosalie hissed.
"Yeah, who are you?" Emmett wondered.
"I am who you thought was lost forever." I whispered. I picked up my food and walked to another table.
After lunch i went to my next class. It was music with Mrs. Grace. She signed my slip and told me to tell the class about myself, i didn't mind this.
"Hi, my name is Isabella, call me Izzy." So i got a new nickname, what else is new? "I play the piano, i sing, violin, and guitar. I also love to shop." I shrugged, taking a seat.
"Oh, can you play for us? The piano i mean? Or sing."
I smiled and skipped to the piano. "This is my favorite." I placed my hands on the keys and started playing. Music floated up through the walls and the teachers mouth dropped, so did other students. Someone walked in, my hands stopped playing when i saw who it was. Edward.
"Keep playing." Mrs. Grace pleaded. "And sing, i trust you wrote this song."
I started up again.
"They told me i don't belong here.
They told me i can never be beautiful
I can never be the best
I do not have the confidence,
To find my way through this maze
I struggle to see through the haze,
As i march through the halls i to find my ways.
They emerge through the fog like kings and queens
People move out of their way so they don't be hated
It hurts me the most, when i have some hope,
Maybe they won't bully me today.
I think that maybe i am the uggliest
The worst of the lot
I will never be the right girl
Not able to keep my stance, i drop straight to the ground
Never able to find my way,
I travel around, not caring where i end up.
The world has no need for me." I finish the song and stop playing.
Edward is staring at me and so are the other students.
"That was beautiful." Mrs. Grace is in tears. "We are having a talent show tomorrow, extra credit. Give it a try?"
"Sure." I grin.
Soon school is out. I get into my car and head home. Once i get home i do all my homework and make some of Harry's fish fry. Charlie comes home later one.
"Hey Dad. How was work?"
"Boring, school?" He asks. "Did people bully you?"
"Nope, partly because they didn't know who i was. And because i stood up to my bullies. There is a talent show tomorrow, extra credit and i want to do it. Can i?"
"Of course, anything to keep those grades up. I am proud of you Bells, you fixed things for everyone. Your mother, me, the bullies. Yourself."
"Thank you dad. Dinner should be ready in ten minutes." I say.
"I wanted to catch the scores, the red socks are playing the yankees." He said, he inched toward the Tv.

"No problem, i would probably be no company." I agree. I put cut up some lettuce and salad.

Once dinner is ready i invite dad. He comes and sits down. We eat in silence, every now and then he asks a question about my friends or mom. Once we finish i wash the dishes and go to sleep.

The next day i wake up and take a shower. Today is saturday, the talent show. I pull on a blue knee length dress and a black shrug cardigan. I put on some black flats and adjust my naturally wavy hair. I grab my bag and go downstairs.

"Your up early." Dad says.
"Oh, did i not tell you the show was today? Sorry. But i have to head over now. Actually i should be done around twelve, should i pick up some lunch?" I ask.
"No, i we can go to the diner. Do you want me to come to the show?" Dad asks.
"No, no. Stay here, relax. You must be tired, working all week. I can pick up the food from the diner and bring it home. Is there a game today?"
"No." He sighs. He flips the newspapers around.
"Okay, well i need to go. bye dad." I kiss his cheek and run outside. I get in my car and drive to school. I wonder on the way what song i will sing.
When i get there Mrs. Grace signs me up and tells me i am the last contestant. The winner will compete in a competition with the schools in port angeles and olympia and then go to state.
I get my guitar ready and wait behind stage. After about two hours it is my turn.
"And last but not least, we have a very talented young girl. Isabella Swan!" Mrs. Grace says. Many gasps are heard. I walk out on stage and see everyone frozen.
I glare at them but then start playing my guiatar.
"One day we are together the next we are against each other.
Oh no, i find it hard to believe, you would do this to me.
Yeah, we used to be one, played together, had fun.
My friends and i, laughed aloud, singing together, we are one now and forever.
(cHORUS)
You bullied me, and i fled,
I learned what friends are really suppsoed to do.
We learned together what i really was,
Not the things you said.
Some people call me a coward, other call me what i am.
Brave, beautiful, a friend.

(End of chorus)

It ain't mad science, what you really are
Ain't it so scary, to believe the truth,
It ain't rocket science, to realise we are not friends.
You took me down, made me believe i was no one.
You left me broken, in the street.
Though i fled, i left.
I learned who i really am.
My friends, they taught me who i was.
They gave me wings, i sore the sky.
I stand my ground, i don't get pushed around.
I fly in the sky.
My dreams, come true and i learn.

(Chorus)
You bullied me, and i fled,
I learned what friends are really supposed to do.
We learned together what i really was,
Not the things you said.
Some people call me a coward, other call me what i am.
Brave, beautiful, a friend.
(End of chorus)"

I finish and everyone erupts in clapping, excluding the Cullens and Hales.
"Thank you, all my bullies. If it weren't for you, i would still be the same person i was two years ago. My real friends in Phoenix, they told me who i was. They changed me, and i have to thank you for that." I say. Then i leave the stage. They call the winner. It is me! I run onto stage and take my certificate.
As i am walking out Rosalie stops me, everyone else behind her.
"You bitch." She yells, she tries to punch me.
I stop her like i did yesterday. "Don't try, you won't succeed."
"What the heck was that? You wrote songs about us?" Alice screeched.
"Yeah, i wrote a ton of them."
"We are the friends that made you realise who you were." Emmett sighed happily.
"No idiot, you made me run. You are the bullies." I snap. I walk to my car and get in. "Don't you dare try to hurt me. Senior year will not be ruined for me."
I drive to the diner and pick up some food, a hamburger for me and steak for Charlie. Then i go home.
"I am home!" I call. I put the food on the table and wonder to the living room. Charlie is asleep. I smile and go back to the kitchen. I each my burger and leave his food in the microwave. Once i am done i call mom.
"Hi mom."
"Bella, oh it is so good to hear your voice." Mom screams.
"I miss you."
"i miss you too, baby. Where is charlie?"
"He is asleep. I won a talent show today."
"That is great, honey. Good job. How is Fork so far? Are the Cullens and Hales still bullying you?"
"No. I stood up to them. Forks is okay, it has been sunny these last two days. Thankfully. But i will have to go soon. The house is a mess."
"Okay, call me again soon."
"Sure. How is Phill?"
"Great. We might move down to Florida. But i promise it will be okay. I kind of like it here in Arizona. I don't want to leave." Mom sighed.
"Oh mom, Florida isn't too bad." I talk as i start cleaning the kitchen. "There are beaches, and the humidity isn't that bad, the houses are really cute too."
"Your right. I want to move to Florida. Maybe Clearwater, or tampa." Mom talks to herself.
I laugh. "Mom, what have you been up to lately?"
"Do you know where my blue blouse is? And my pink pants. I put them in the laundry bag, you dropped them off and told me to pick them up."
'Did you?" I ask.
"No. So they probably have them. I need to get them." She mutters. I laugh again, the doorbell rings.
"Hold on mom." I say. I take the phone off my ear and open the door. It is the Cullens and Hales. I groan. "What?"
"We need to speak."
"Charlie is sleeping on the couch. Outside." I mutter. I bring the phone back up to my ear. "Mom, can i call you back. They are at my door."
"You mean those kids. What were their names, right. The Cullens and the Hales. Oh, give the phone to the older one, Edward, yeah that is his name, right? I want to tell at him." She screamed i bet even the Cullens and the Hales could hear.
"Mom, i will call you back. I love you, bye." I shut the phone before she could reply. "What?"
"We are sorry." Jasper said.
I smile sympathetically. "You will have to do a lot more than that."
"Oh, come on." Alice cries. Someone honks and a familiar car pulls up. James and Victoria, my friends from Phoenix come out.
"Viccky, James." I cry. I run and hug them both. "What are you doing here?"
"Visiting. God that drive was long. It took forever. James here wouldn't go over fifty. He drove like a grandma." Victoria scowled.
I laughed. "James, grow up, or should i say younger."
"Who are they?" Edward asks.
"My friends." I hiss. "Come on." I urge them inside out of the pouring rain, leaving the Cullens and Hales outside, i close the door.
"Are they..." James trails off and i nod. James growls.
"James..." I warn.
He nods, but i can tell her is still angry.
"I am starving, anything to eat?" Victoria asks.
"Yeah. Fish fry, it is in the fridge." I mutter. I go back outside. The phone rings and i answer it.
"Hello?"
"Surprise." Mom yells.
"Little late for that. They are already inside, can i call you back?"
"They are still here? God those trouble makers. Tell them you will call the cops." Mom hisses.
"Dad is a cop." I remind her.
"Right, wake him up." She says.
"Goodbye mom." I shut the phone and look at them. "Leave please." I go inside.

What do you think? This is my fourth story. Like i said, i am posting stories slowly. I have a bunch written. It is easier to only have to work on two at a time, three just gets out of hand. So i am currently writing Flamed, and this one. Please review, and most chapters. Also i can only write on the weekends, so things might be a bit slower. Sorry.

P.s. The song, i wrote them myself. I didn't get them from the internet.
