Chapter One

The Beginning

(No Name for book yet)

The flashbacks flood my brain, and I don't know how to stop them. I shake my head and continue reading my book. Book: I sat there crying; screaming at him to stop, but nothing would stop this monster. I began to cry, and I threw the book at the wall. I can't believe my English teacher is making me read this book. This book basically told my story of my life. I too sat in the corner of my room sobbing and crying asking him to stop. I wish my mom didn't have to work all day. I wish my mom Rene never married Phillip.

'Good-bye honey!' I heard my mom shout up the stairs. The first thing that came to my mine was Phillip.

'Bye Mom!' I shouted, I tried to cover up the cracking of my voice, I hope she doesn't notice. I heard the front door shut. I jumped off my bed and went under, because I know he's coming. I heard my door open and then shut. I saw his feet, I covered my mouth to stop the cries from coming out.

'Oh Bella, where are you my sweet child?' he said in that creepy voice of his.

'I just want to play honey, don't be scared.' He added. Just want to play my ass. I saw his right knee hit the floor. He knows I'm under here. His left hand slowly slid under the bed, I tried my best to scoot back but he managed to grab my leg. I kicked him in the face and tried to run out. He grabbed my waist and slammed me on the bed.

'WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?' I screamed at him

'Because I love you.' He said kissing my neck.

'You're supposed to be my step-father! Not my lover!' I yelled even louder. He didn't care. He slid his hand up my shirt. I tried to kick him off, but he's ten times stronger than me. He got me and he undressed and entered into me. I cried softly, but I knew there was nothing I could do. When he finished, he got dressed and walked out. I curled up under the blanket, naked, cold, crying hoping he would stop this.

I had to get ready because I was going to be late to school, but I didn't want to go. But I can't let my mother down. I walked over to my door and wrapped myself in the robe and walked into the bathroom, as I walked in the hall Phillip slapped my ass. I just sighed and continued to walk. I couldn't just loose it there in the hallway. I always wondered what makes him do these things. I mean I was 12 when he started; he's been doing this for 5 years now. But I never told anyone, only one person. She swore to not tell a soul. She was my only friend. Everyone in the school hates me. I am a slut to them because when I was 14 I got pregnant, but Phillip beat me so bad that I had a miscarriage, but we never told my mother. I hated my life and wanted to end it so bad. But I couldn't do that to my mom again. My older sister did 3 years ago, and I am the only one who knows why, along with Phillip. He abused her too, and he pushed her over the limit.

I finished getting ready and walked to school. I saw Jessica at the bustop, along with Seth. He was so dreamy, but he told me face to face that he'd never date a slut like me. Right before I got there, Amy showed up. She was Seth's girlfriend.

'Ew, I thought I smelt skank.' She said. I tried to hold back the tears, but I lost it and fell to the ground.

'Aw, someone must be pregnant again.' She laughed.

'Oh shut up Amy.' Jessica yelled. I smiled a little at her, she always stands up for me because she knows I am too weak to handle myself. The bus pulled up, Seth and Amy got on, but Jessica stayed with me hugging me and cried with me.

'Did he do it again?' she asked. I nodded my head. I felt her hug me even tighter.

'Bella, I can't live like this. I hate seeing you like this! You need to tell someone!' she said.

'I know, but Phillip said he'd kill my mom.' I mumbled. She gasped.

'Oh my god Bella! I am taking you to the hospital, I am going to get you checked out and we're talking to the Police!' she yelled. I peeked my head up and my eyes widened as I saw Phillip behind Jessica, he was holding a gun. I screamed as he pulled the trigger.
