PROLOGUE
''Fatty''
''Ugly fat bitch''
''Nobody wants you, your too ugly''
Then came the first blow. I swayed but stayed standing. My head was pulled back and smacked against the concrete. Nails dug into my neck, my face. I felt no pain. Just numbness. I deserved everything, so they told me. I opened my eyes and looked up just as the crowd of faces descended on me.I felt every blow. Fists, feet, knees... Knife.
CHAPTER ONE
6months Later
''Hey Bells'' Charlie said, pulling me into a hug. He was smiling but I saw the pain in his eyes. I smiled, that made him look even worse.
''Hey dad. I missed you'' I meant it.
''Welcome to Forks. Your new home.'' He gestured around his living room and chuckled. I smiled and excused myself to my room.
Nothing had changed. Still the same pale purple walls and dark purple comforter. The rocking chair in the corner and my old bed. The only new edition in the room was the Laptop and iPhone. Charlie had obviously finally decided I was old enough for a cell phone.
I was glad he bought them though. I could escape into a world of music and internet. I sat surfing through apps on the phone for about an hour when Charlie called up the stairs.
''Bella? Come down I have a present for you'' I groaned. I liked gifts, but Charlie liked to give expensive gifts. By day he was Chief of Police in Forks. By night, he ran a very successful nightclub in Seattle that was frequented by Celebrities, Actors, Singers... Models. There was never any trouble in Forks so he spent most of his time at Coven. His best friend, Harry helped him out.
I climbed down the stairs. Slowly and tentatively. I reached the porch and dropped my cell phone.
In the driveway was the most beautiful red car Id ever seen. I had been eyeing it up for ages but Renee thought it was too flashy for a girl. I loved cars and was partial to motorbikes. The faster the better. The speed helped me forget. I used to hate cars. But back in Phoenix the faster I could run, the better.
''Seriously dad? A Chevrolet? Camaro?'' I laughed and hugged him.
He looked pleased with himself. He handed me the keys and I kissed his cheek. I ran over to the car and squeeled. I hadnt felt this happy since... Well ever. But then Charlie dropped the bomb.
''School starts tomorrow eight thirty'' I groaned. My stomach twisted in knots. I needed to vomit. Charlie looked at me, alarmed. I doubled over and vomited all over my new car. Then I collapsed.
