It wasn't my favorite thing to do, but orders were orders and I wasn't about to disobey my father for the second time tonight. I was lucky enough to come to this party and stay up late even tough he told me not too. Off course I did promise that I would come at a decent time. So when it was about 11:30 at night I knew it was time to go. So I got out of Scott house and started heading home. I didn't like the fact that I was the only one of my friends who had to be home by a certain time, but since I was the only kid living with my dad, and none of my siblings were around, I had to do what daddy said.

As I got ready to call a cab so I could get back to my house, my phone rang. 'ring, ring'. I look at the caller idea and I'm shock to see that its my dad. I don't know why he's calling me now, I still have another half an hour before I have to be home.

I open my cell and answered it. "Hey dad. Listen don't worry, I still have another half an hour before I get home. I won't break curfew. I promise." I tell him.

"Elijah its Charlie." Now that was a shock. I rarely talk to Chief Swan and he definitely didn't have my cell phone number, so why would he call me and on my dad phone.

"Why are you calling me on my dad phone Charlie. What is going on?" I ask him.

"Elijah, I'm calling to let you that something happened to Billy." Something really bad must've happened to my dad, cause my dad hated anyone but him using his phone. He even grounded me for a month when I used it to call Jacob birthday. But that might be because of the situation between Jacob and my dad.. Anyway, Charlie having his phone, this must really be bad.

"Charlie, what's going on, what happened to my dad?" I ask him.

"He got in a car accident. He got injured really bad. I think you should come to the hospital as soon as possible." I hang up the phone and call a cab.

I made it the hospital in under fifteen minutes. Once there I ask the nurse for my father location and I go find him. Once I'm there, I find Charlie waiting for good news about my dad. "Charlie, how the hell is a guy in a wheelchair get in a car accident?" I scream.

"Some stupid guy drunk and hit your dad. He lucky that Sue Clearwater spotted him the moment it happened cause your dad might be dead right now." Great, it must be those stupid kids from Fork high school. You would think they would learn from their previous generation mistake, but no.

"So, what did the doctor say. Is he going to recover?" I ask him.

"They're pretty sure he will be fined. It just that.." he didn't want to finish his thought, but I wasn't the most patient man when it came to my family and their health. If you don't believe me, you should ask Rebecca doctor what I did to him when he wouldn't tell her family about her condition. I almost bit his head off.

"Ok Charlie, I am not the most patience person when it comes to bad news. So can you please tell me what the hell is going on please."

"Ok, well." He took a moment to gather his thought. What ever he was planning on saying would bad. "Your dad need around o'clock care. And I don't think he will be able to get it here, so."

"So he gonna have to move in with one of my sisters. That's not possible." Everyone knew that both my sisters were married now. One was in Florida, married to a loser and the other one was married to Paul, a bigger loser. Plus Becca had a crying three year old at home, there was no way she would be able to care for my dad. "Charlie, you know that is not possible."

"I know." he put his hand behind his head. Looking at his face, I now realized why he was so unhitch. If my sisters were unable to do the job, my brother was the last choice.

"I have to call Jacob. I was planning to do it anyway, but this, he not gonna like this."

"Eli, your brother love your dad. I'm sure he will be ok with the idea." He was so lying.

"I know, but dad doesn't really like dealing with Jake. Ever since he came out, dad has done practically everything in his power to avoid talking to Jake." Does two will kill each other. "And you know I can't stand Jake boyfriends."

Charlie knotted to his in agreement, but I knew he was right. I had to call Jake. "Look, I will call Jake, first thing in the morning. But for now, I just want to be with my dad."

Jake PoV

My whole body hurt. My arm hurt, my back hurt, my legs hurt. I had blood on my face, 'gush I hope he didn't break my noise again." I wonder how bad I look. This was to much.

I get out of the bed and take a moment to look around my room. The clothing I was wearing is all torn up, one of my table is broken and the rest of my stuff is all over the floor. Some of my things have blood on them, like my magazine and broken dishes. Looking around, I realized that we really trash this place.

I go to the bathroom to get myself clean up. After a hot shower, I go to the kitchen and read the note that he leave me.

Dear Jake.

I saw you on the floor so I pick you up and bought you to bed. I hope I didn't hurt you when I carried you. I will see you later and make it up to you if I did anything to hurt you. I can't wait to see you tonight. So be ready for my arrival.

Love for ever

James.

He was worried about hurting me while he was putting me to bed, but he didn't worry about hurting me when his fist hit my face. This guy was incredible. Does he ever see what he does to me. I mean does he ever realized that he hurt me so much. That his fist in my fast and his kick on my stomach is the worst form of abuse.

But I shouldn't put the whole blame on James. I mean I was the one who got him angry. I was who didn't want to listen when he was talking about his day. I know I had a hard day too, but I could've been sensitive to his needs. Right.

Maybe this was my fault. I mean James is a professional fighter and getting him angry is a bad idea. I know how he gets when he gets angry. Maybe I should just do what he ask.

'ding, dong' I here the bell ring and I buzz the person in without ask who it is.

After two minutes, my door opens and the small person I ever met scream to the top of her lungs. "What have that sun of a Bitch done to you Jake?" She scream.

"Oh, that." Pointing at my black eye and busted lip. "Its nothing. You should see the other guy." I tell her. But off course I know she doesn't believe me.

"Jake, what happened. And don't lie to me." she tell me.

"Nothing. It just…"

"It just what." she ask but I don't answer. Technically I don't see the point. Alice will always figure out or find out what going on. Lying to her is a waste of time.

"So let me guest. You said something or did something that anger him and he decided to return the favor with his fist. He got mad and you face pay the price." Lucky I didn't show he my stomach. If she saw how bad he really hurt me, she would kill him.

"Alice don't worry about it. I can take care of myself." I tell her.

"Really, you can take care of yourself." Oh great, here she goes again. "You took care of yourself great when he broke your arm last month. You took care of yourself great when he broke your noise six months ago. You took care of yourself great when he put you in the hospital last year. You know when…" than she stop.

"Go on Alice, your on the role." She stop talking. She knew what she was saying was upsetting me. But I didn't want it to end here. I wanted her finish the thought.

Looking at her face, I realized that she won't finish what she started saying, so I finish it for her. "When your father didn't even bother to come and see you."

It was no big surprised that my father and I haven't spoken in five years. When I told Billy that I was gay, he kick me out the house and told me to never contact him or the rest of my family again. Of course that only lasted only three days with my siblings. They kept talking to me even after I came out. But Billy stay true to his words. I haven't seen him or spoken to him since I was sixteen. He didn't even come to my high school graduation to support me. It just broke my heart.

"Jake" Alice started. "You can't keep doing this. You can't keep punishing yourself for the fact that you dad left." She always tried to make it sound nicer than what it is.

"Alice he didn't leave, he kick me out. He told me to fix myself or get out. I had no choice." I told her. "He didn't even come and see me give my graduation speech."

"Is that why your with James now. You think you deserve to be punish. You think that you deserve what James does to you. Cause you don't"

"So what you want me to do. Leave him."

"Yes, leave him. Pack a back and stay with me or kick him out." She than thought for a second "Doesn't he have his own place." she ask.

"He still has keys to this place." I told her.

"So. Change the lock. Kick his sorry butt out of your life and move on. If you want, I could make Emmett kick his butt for you. Either him or Rosalie." she started laughing.

"I'll think about the beat down. But I guest your right. I'll change the lock. He doesn't have anything worth of value here, except for a tooth brush and some clothes."

"Than, lets pack it today and ship it off to his place. Once that done, you could cleanse yourself of all that bad karma and start new." We both start laughing until I here my cell phone ring.

I answered it and I am shock that its Elijah. "Hey bro, how are you."

"Jake its dad. He got hurt and you need to come." he tell me.

"What happened. Why is he hurt?" I ask him. I was freaking out.

"He got hit by a car. But don't worry he didn't get hurt to bad. But you need come here now. You need to come back to La Push now." this kid new how to command.

"Look Eli, if dad is fined, you don't need me there to complicate things." I tell him.

"Look Jake, we need you here, I need you here. Please come." he ask again.

"Fined. I will be here as son as possible ok." I answered him.

"OK. Can you please bring Alice. I would love to see her again." he says.

"How do you know that she's here. I didn't say anything."

"Cause she your best friend and she is the only other person beside me who hates James the most. Please tell me your not going to bring him with you. Please." he ask. He than continued, "or you could dump him. I like that idea better."

"Look, my relationship with James is none of you business. But for your benefit, you should know that I will not bring him with me. So don't worry. It will only be me and Alice." I here the relieve in his voice as I hang it up.

I than face Alice. "So we're up to the small rainy town of Forks. I am gonna need to buy a whole new set of clothes. I got to look cute." this girl and shopping.

"Alice don't you own your own clothing store. Can't you design your own rainy clothing thing." I ask her. Alice was a talented designer. She used her own money to start her business as the age of sixteen, and by the time she was my age, she had twenty stores all of the states and he clothes were being sold in Macy's, Guess and other famous stores. She was the richest person I known and one of my best friends. In fact she was my first friend when I moved here.

"It doesn't matter. I have to have a knew look. I can't go to Fork Washington, looking like a mess. Give me five hours to get everything ready."

"You only need fives hours." I answer her with humor in my voice.

"Yes only five." She started to leave and than turn around. "Hey, the keys to James apartment, do you have by any chance."

"Yeah, why do you ask." What was she planning.

"Well, since your not gonna be using it any more. Give it to me and I will give it to Emmett. And I am pretty sure, him and Rosalie will be able to deal with the situation for you. It probably be solve by the time we come back"

"I could deal with the situation by myself. I don't need help." I tell her.

"Well your face says a different story. An beside, don't you think it would be a better idea if you didn't have to deal with him when you come back."

I thought about it for a while, but than I came up with a conclusion. "I'll deal with James on my own time and not before. If I let some one else deal with my problem, it will never be solves to my satisfaction."

I than took another second to change the subject. "Lets forget it ok. If I want James handle when I'm gone, I will call your brother and his girlfriend. But since I don't, I will deal with it myself ok." She agreed and left my apartment to get her things. In five hours, I will be going home. 'Great'.

I hope you like the story. It's my second Jakedward story. i hope you really like it and please review. I really want your opinion and thank you
