The Beautiful Swan

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. I'm not that clever. ;) Stephenie Meyer is AMAZING though because she is that clever.

"Bella. Bells. Bellsy. Wake Up! We've landed already! Come on little sister!" My oaf of a brother Emmett said, while shaking me awake rather violently.

"Emmy! I'm awake! Please stop shaking me or you'll find yourself on the floor! Besides, don't call me little sister! You're only a minute and a half older than me!" I said jokingly.

He apologized and proceeded to help me out of our private jet while grumbling something along the lines of "can't believe you got me to come back here", and "stupid bullies won't know what hit 'em."

Let me explain from the beginning. Our parents, Renee and Charlie, were high school sweethearts, and married right out of high school. A year after their marriage, Emmett and I came along. They were ecstatic, but Renee , being the scatter-brained parent that she is asked for a divorce so she could "freely" travel as she lightly put it. Since Charlie loved us so much, and was never able to deny our family anything, he gave up and signed the divorce papers even if it hurt him terribly. So anyways, growing up, it was just Emmett, Charlie and I. Life at home was pretty normal, but we considered school to be our own personal "Hell on Earth". Em and I were constantly bullied by... well... everyone. The people who mostly tormented us were the Cullens/Hales. Well, until that one day they succeeded in running us out of our own home. Em was bullied because he was short and skinny before, and I was bullied for being short, nerdy, had a bad case of acne, I was overweight, I had glasses, braces, my hair was a boring brown that was always untamed, and my clothes were always baggy. The bullied us so bad that Em and I decided to pack up to move in with mom and her new husband Phil in L.A.

* Flashback *

The day started just like any other day. I woke up to my annoying alarm clock, got up, took a shower, and put on a pair of jeans, a blue, loose-fitting Dallas Cowboys t-shirt from Phil, my black jacket, and a well-worn pair of converse. After I was dressed, I went to go wake Emmett up.

"Emmett. Em. Emmy. Wake up. We have school today." I said while lightly shaking him.

"I don't wan..." He slurred while falling back asleep.

Suddenly, I got an idea. I got up from his bed, took 5 steps away from the bed, and yelled "Emmett! The pantry is on fire!"

He was up so fast that I think he could put superheroes' speed to shame.

"What?! Nooo!" He yelled while storming to the kitchen to save his snacks. I just stood there laughing at the quite comical look on his face before he took off running.

"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN! I can NOT believe you just did that! It was not a funny joke!" Emmett said while pouting.

"Come on Emmy-bear. How else was I supposed to get you up/ Now go take a shower while I make our breakfast." I said while smiling innocently.

After ate, and Emmett engulfed the bacon, eggs, and sausages that I made, we left for school. When we got to school, everything was the same. Emmett went to building 3 for his English class and I walked to my locker. On my way there, I was tripped 5 times, shoved into lockers and garbage bins 7 times, kicked and punched several times, called "Frizella","Smella","Fattybella","Fat Cow", and so many more ridiculous names. By the time I actually reached my locker, I was bleeding from several cuts on my arms and cheeks, and I could feel several bruises starting to form all over my body. I quickly got my things ready, and headed to class while ignoring the laughter, sneers, and glares directed at me. As I turned the corner, saying I was shocked was an understatement. There, on the was was a HUGE poster of a naked lady, but with my face glued on. At the bottom of the poster, it said "Slutyella", and had my phone number on it. When I turned around, I saw Rosalie Hale, Alice Cullen, and a bunch of their wanna-be followers who think they're all that because they're pretty and popular. I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't take it anymore. I went to Em's class and asked the teacher if I could speak with him. He saw me crying, and said "Alright, but make it quick.".

"Hey Bells. What's wrong? What did they do now?" He asked alarmed as I sobbed harder.

"I can't take it anymore Em. I'm moving in with mom and Phil." I cried.

"Oh." He said sadly. Then, as if a thought occurred to him, he suddenly yelled "I got it! I..."

"Em! Shhh!" I whisper-yelled at him.

"Oh! Right." He said sheepishly. "Anyways, as I was saying, I got it! I'm going to go live with mom, Phil, and you!" He proudly stated.

"Are you sure Em?" I asked hesitantly.

"Uh. Yeah." Em said in a matter-of-fact voice before continuing. "You know Bells, you're the main reason I stayed and ignored the beatings the give me."

"Seriously?!" I asked skeptically.

"Well, yeah..." He said quietly. "If it weren't for you, I would have been loooong gone. You know dad would understand anyways."

"Thanks Emmy-bear. I love you." I said while wiping away my tears.

"Awww. Don't cry Bella-boo. I love you too." He said while chuckling, most likely, at his coincidental rhymes.

"Kay Em." I said. "You call dad cause you two understand each other better, and I'll call mom."

"Okay." He said. "Meet me at the office after you clean out your locker. And do it NOW."

Well, I guess I'm not going to class today.. Oh well.. "Kay Emmy." I said. Then, I walked away, took out my phone, and dialed the all-too-familiar number.

Ring, Ring, Ring.

Ring, Ri- "Hello?" Asked the voice on the other line.

"Mommy? Can Emmy and I live with you?" I asked.

"Of course you can honey! Let me know when you get home, and we'll figure out your flight information okay? I love you both babies."

"Thanks Mom. We love you too. Bye." I said.

By the time I hung up, I was done cleaning out my locker. I met up with Em at the front office, and we left school with out a word to anyone.

* End Flashback *

A.N.: Well, that's Chapter 1. Sorry it's mostly a flashback. First few chapters are written, and a couple are flashbacks because I wanted to show some things from their past. Oh! And sorry too if it's not that good. This is actually my first story, so I'm still new to this. Please Review! Thanks for reading! :)
