Second Chances

Summary:

The house was quiet for once as the 13 year old girl creeped down the steps her bag in tow, in her arms lay her baby sister. For once in this girls life she knew exactly what to do. She ran.

Story:

Bella POV:

That fateful day I decided to run with my sister was the best decision I could have ever made. It started like this,

I woke up that morning feeling sore from my last beating, running down the steps trying my best not to wake my father or baby sister, Avalon. I started as usual, turning on the ancient stove, cracking two eggs on the pan, and then starting on the bacon and toast. Avalon and I did eat, just not as much as we should, I usually have some toast with peanut butter for carbs and protein, while Avalon would eat one container of mushy baby food and some rice crackers.

I walked up the stairs quietly hoping no creaking would sound this time, it would seem that fate was in my corner this morning as I was able to get into Avalon's room without waking father up.

"Sweetie, time to wake up" I softly called to her,

"Aaahh" she called softly back in her cute little baby voice. I gave her a big kiss on the forehead and picked her up and started dressing her for the day. I chose a beautiful lavender sundress for her and a baby blue sundress for myself. I grabbed our hair ribbons and tied a braid in my hair finishing it off with my baby blue ribbon and for Avalon I tied hers around her head like a headband.

As we made our way to the door trying to get to school on time a hand snaked around me and slammed to door shut.

"Where do you think you're going Isabella?" father questioned me.

"T-to s-scho-ol " I stuttered

As he leaned down, thinking he was going to slap me I tried to shield Avalon but he just kissed me on the head and walked away. Gobsmacked I just opened to door and walked towards the bus stop with Avalon on my hip.

As extra precaution I grabbed our rain coats, it is Forks after all, the rainiest place in Washington.

10 minutes after waiting at the bus stop, the big yellow school bus came and opened its doors to allow us to enter into the warm interior.

"Hey Smella, whatcha' got there? Is that your baby?" Edward my main bully questioned.

My bullies since 3rd grade were Rosalie, Edward, Emmett and Alice Cullen all adopted and all very popular.

"N-n-no, s-she's my b-baby s-sister." I replied quietly with my head bowed in fright

"Ugh, what are you wearing, did you think that dress would look cute on you?" questioned a rude Alice

I stayed silent, hoping they would just leave me alone

As I took a seat at the very front right behind the bus driver I felt something wet hit the back of my neck, I reached my arm around and grabbed a club of spit balls that had been spit at me. Disgusted I quickly dropped them and wiped my hand on my dress hoping the slimy spit would be removed from my hand.

The bus came to a stop in front of our middle school, as I exited the bus I felt a foot snake around my ankle and pull resulting in me being tripped up. I quickly shifted Avalon to my stomach and turned my body so I would land on my back and Avalon would be straddling me. I felt the sharp rocks poke my back and the burn in my lower back from sliding a bit on the asphalt. Holding back the tears I slowly sat up, looking at Avalon making sure there were no scratches on her I clumsily stood up and made my way to the front office, the laughter slowly fading the farther I got.

Walking up to the doors I threw them open with a shove and walked through the opening. Mrs. Cope looked up from her computer she was typing at and greeted me with a smile and a question in her eyes.

"Good morning Sweetie, Can I help you?"

"Hi Mrs. Cope, ummm my dad can't take Avalon today so I was wondering if I could take her to my classes?" (I know this wouldn't actually happen but just go with it, ok) I quietly asked

"I would have to ask the principal, one second Sweetie I will go get him and you can talk to him is his office, ok?"

"Thank you"

About 10 minutes later I was called into his office

"Ms. Swan may I ask why you have a baby on you hip?" Mr. Greene started off

"M-my f-f-father couldn't t-take her" I stuttered

"Well, will she interrupt the class?" he questioned

"N-n-no she's a v-very q-q-quiet baby, Sir"

"Alright Ms. Swan, will we need to make this a permanent thing?" thinking to myself I replied quickly with a curt nod and a "Yes, Sir" I want to make sure Avalon spends as little time at the house with or without father as possible. He gave me a slip to tell my teachers why a 13 year old had a baby in school and sent me on my way.

Now just to finish today without humiliating myself.
