It had been three months since that horrible afternoon when Bella's boyfriend, Jasper, had beaten her bad enough she had to be hospitalized. It nearly killed me when I got the call and rushed to the hospital in downtown Phoenix. To say I didn't want to kick his ass myself wouldn't begin to express what I felt seeing my baby girl lying in that bad with the monitors, and IV's connected to her arms, making sure she was getting fluids. But those weren't the worse part of it, I stood frozen inside the doorway seeing her face. It was swollen, already getting that coloring one gets, with dark purple, icky yellow and blues appearing nearly over ever inch.
They were trying to tend to her injuries and the sight nearly killed me as I was allowed inside and moved instantly to her side. Her nose was broken, her left eyes was swollen shut a few blood vessels were busted and it just didn't look like my Bella. The doctors told me it would takes a few months for the swelling, the broken ribs and bones to heal or before she could walk even. They only kept her in the hospital then for a week and I nor Phil never left her side.
But now it just seems to never stop, we couldn't get any of the charges to stick because that bastard has so many connections in this city and now one is willing to get their heads out of his ass or money. So after much considerations me and Phil decided on what we thought was best for her and that only left me calling Charlie and talking to him.
"Charlie calm down. No she is fine and still going to school but I think it would be in the best interest for her that she move there. This damn city is so wrapped around him and his families finger they won't do anything cause his money can speak more than ours."
Charlie I could hear exhale taking in what I was saying this to him but I knew he would understand and plus I figured that her being with him if something should happen. Well who be that damn stupid to hurt the Chief of Polices daughter. I mean come on. He is silent and I sit on the chair outside our house biting my lip waiting.
"Renee I think your right. I mean from what your saying and we've been talking for a few months since this and her life is still hard. Even when I talk to her on the phone I can hear it in her voice. So yes I will let her come down and live with me. Her room is still ready for her from when she would visit so just call me when you and Phil have everything figured out and than I will pick her up at the airport. Also if you have things for her that can't come on the plane than I will help pay to mail them out here...if you like.'
Hearing Charlie I felt this weight lifted off my shoulders and realized this was going to work out and our baby was going to be fine.
"Thank you Charlie I will call you in a week to give you the detail, if you can set up to get her enrolled before than we shall deal with everything else. Okay. Goodbye."
As we hung up and told Phil what was going on and than together we went and told Bella, hoping she wouldn't be upset and understand, squeezing Phi's hand as they reach the patio where Bella is at reading and usually can be found now a days. Exhaling slowly I look at him and step outside to talk to her. Phil said he would just be there for moral support.
"Bella hunny, can I talk to you about something?"
Looking to her with a smile as I see her look over at us and slowly put a marker in her book and sets it to the side. Giving me her full attention and I take the cue and slowly move to sit down beside her. Licking her lips some before I figure how to begin.
"Phil, Charlie and I have been talking lately, well since the incident and with everything going on think that maybe you would do well in Forks with your father. At least you could start new and not worry about Jasper or any of the talking, whispers and all. So would you like to move back with Charlie and try to well I guess start over or maybe anew with him. We will come visit and you can come back on holidays of course, but with all this going on I think you need to be away from it. You don't deserve any of this Bella."
My voice was soft and I inhaled softly after I was done telling her what was needed, watching her expression which seemed only to take it in. So she didn't seem pissed about this or thinking that we didn't want her like I was slightly worried about. Seeing her exhale and shift some taking it all in before her lips pursed.
"I..I understand where you all coming from and to be honest I agree. I had hoped that once I was out of the hospital and healed that when I got back to school it would be alright. But it's like you say mom. The whispers, the stares it makes me feel self-conscious and also like this was my fault. So if Charlie doesn't mind having me than I don't mind moving to Forks and trying to start over. Thank you both for this I know how hard it has to be letting me go, but like you said mom holidays and weekends we can see each other."
Bella after she is done hugs be than shifts back up and goes inside as me and Phil smile before I too go inside and call a few numbers to set up the flight, before finally calling Charlie to let him know the day, time and flight she would be on. The school was the last thing I called to let them know she was moving and got all her records and things so she could take them with her. Everything seemed to be going good and I was feeling better. Better knowing my baby was going to be leaving this hell she was thrown into and hoping she would have a better life in Forks.
It was about a week after we talked to Charlie that Bella and uswere at the airport saying our goodbyes. And poor Phil was going to be dealing with a sobbing wife for a while even though I knew this was for her. Hugging her once more as we hear the call for her flight I ask her once more if she has everything and let her know they are mailing out the rest of her books and all out in about 2 weeks.
"Just take care alright baby, I love you and we will talk this weekend, figure you needed to get settled in and well guess you should go their boarding. I love you baby just take care."
"Renee she will be fine let her go before she misses the flight. Just take care Bella and know we miss you." Phil said trying to help with my mother.
Kissing her cheek I can see I am getting on her nerves and over doing it but hey isn't that what mothers are for?
"Mom I will be fine and I love you both too and will call Saturday. Bye."
I smile once more than finally let her go leaning into Phil still sobbing like always but I know she will be alright and this is for the best. Letting Phil finally pull me away so we can head back home ourselves and I let out the deep breath I was unaware I was holding.
Bella
At night living nothing but the night mare over and over, screaming or crying uncontrollable till Charlie came to wake me up. I wasn't sure what to do, at least not with my life and it had been about a week since I came to live with my dad. I was certain the nightmares would vanish but every night I would wake up screaming and thrashing around in the bed till Charlie calmed me down and assure me Jasper wasn't going to hurt me again. My world was coming down around me and I was at the point of thinking I had nothing else to live for, nothing or no one else that could bring me out of this fit of depression. Sure I knew he wasn't here but didn't change what happened to me or feeling like people were still whispering and staring. Even with all the injuries, bruises gone I was still not the same Bella I once was.
Charlie was getting worried, I could tell, his little girl was gone that had come here to live with him and didn't know what to do. He and my mom, Renee, didn't know what to do anymore, they were at their wits end what would help and what would only make it worse. They had talked of sending me to a therapist, but Charlie really couldn't see that being of any help nor could Renee either knowing how much it would cost for one. Not to mention I had heard them and was there putting my foot down on seeing any damn doctor discussing my feelings it wasn't happening. I just told them to give me time.
"Billy I don't know what to do. She is screaming at all hours of the night. Won't leave the house other than to go to school. Renee and I really don't know what we should do. I'm worried about her."
Charlie spoke while talking to Billy Black one afternoon. Billy being one of my fathers oldest friends and a person I had met though it was years ago so I really didn't remember much. But listening to him as I sat in the kitchen fixing our lunch I sighed some hating that I was still worrying him. Biting my bottom lip some I stand at the stove listening and knew I should try at least for Charlie not to let these damn dreams keep running my life, my parents were right. Jasper wasn't in Forks and I wasn't going to see him ever again so I needed to move on. Charlie, Renee and Phil had done this for me, let me leave that nightmare and move here to go on with my life, so the least I could do was fight harder to have that life.
Once lunch was done I called him into the kitchen trying to act like I didn't hear him and Billy talking on the phone. Smiling softly as we both sit down to eat and of course have nothing to say to each other. Nibbling on the spaghetti I had made letting out a light breath before Charlie suddenly clears this throat and it causes me to look up, wondering what he has to say.
"I was thinking since its the weekend and all maybe you'd like to come to La Push with me. Hang out on the beach or at the Blacks perhaps, I know Billy would love to see how much you've grown up and than his sons Jacob and Embry will probably be there you could hangout with them if you like. Get out of the house some. What do you say? Come keep the old man company."
Setting down my fork I lean back listening to what he is saying and let out a faint breath at the mention of leaving the house. Tilting my head some at where he is wanting me to go with him too, thinking for a moment and remembering that is the Indian Reservation here in Forks. A flash back to when I was little playing on the beach comes into my head and I let a faint smile cross my face briefly. Maybe it wouldn't be too bad going with him and he did say I could just hang out at the beach right?
"Alright dad. I'll go with you to La Push, the beach sounds nice and it will be good to get out a little.
"Great Bells. I'll call Billy and let him know we both will be down than after lunch. I promise it will be nice and a change from sitting around here all day long."
Seeing him smile I only nod letting him feel better about this and we finish our lunch in silence than after he did like he said and called Billy letting him know we both were coming.
