Disclaimer…We all wish we owned Twilight, but alas the Great Stephanie does, and thankfully she lets us create our own versions, to keep our favorites alive and kicking!!
I have an idea formed in my head, and to me it is good one; hopefully you the reader will like it too and have patients with me, as many of my readers know my stories seem to write themselves.
Most of the story will be Bella's POV, and Edward POV, if you want to read something from another POV please let me know and I will try to accommodate.
BITTER BLOOD
Chapter 1
"I can't take this crap anymore" I yelled.
"Don't speak to me in that tone young lady, you were late coming home" my mother Renee shouted back at me. It was one of the many arguments that we had been having since she moved us to La Push.
"No mom, I am sick and tired of this crap I was at the grocery store where I told you I would be" I defended myself, even though I had no need to.
"Well you need to understand where he is coming from Isabella" I rolled my eyes as she tried to defend their actions once again, I couldn't help but wonder when she would remember that I was her daughter.
"I am not two years old, I don't need to be babysat 24 hours a day" I yelled at her, not even trying to remain calm.
We hadn't been in La Push for 4 months, and my life was already hell, I missed my friends who I wasn't allowed to see or talk to anymore, and I missed my dad and couldn't believe that he hadn't tried to speak to me once since my mom had moved us out and into her new husbands house on the Reservation, turning my life upside down.
In La Push I had no freedom, I was followed everywhere I went by my step-father or some of his friends; the beach, school, the small library there was no escaping them, I had made a few girlfriends in my short time here and while I hoped that I was right in trusting them with the details of my life I couldn't help but wonder if Leah didn't run to Paul with every word I told to her. Emily was my closest girlfriend and I knew that deep down I could trust her and her boyfriend Sam; who was the only guy who didn't follow the gang and tail me.
Emily and Jacob without them I don't think I would have survived here a month without losing my mind. Jacob Black had been my friend since we were toddlers and I had confided in him the sadness that I felt when I learned that my mother had been having an affair and was leaving my father Charlie. I had taken care of my mother my entire life and when she told me that I was leaving with her I tried to put up a fight but it was no use.
***Flashback***
"Bella, I am leaving your father" my mother told me as I ate the waffles I had cooked for myself.
"What" I said looking at her waiting for her to say she was joking, my mother had the easy life, my father although just a small town police chief had set us up with an easy life while we weren't driving Mercedes or wearing Dolce and Gabbana, my mother had not worked a day in my life and I did all of the cooking and most of the cleaning around the house while she played tennis or whatever with her other housewife friends, so the news that she was leaving my father had seriously taken me by surprise.
"I've been seeing someone for a while now and I have decided to move in with him and you are coming with me" she said trying to sound stern in the last part.
"The hell I am, I am getting ready to start my senior year and I don't want to leave Dad and my friends" I started, but she cut me off.
"My decision is final, get packing we leave tonight" and with that she walked away. I ran to my car and drove straight to the Police Station, ignoring the hellos from the other officer's I ran straight to my dad.
"Bells" he said in surprise when I collapsed in the chair opposite his desk.
"Did you know" I asked trying to hold back the tears, but the sadness in my father's eyes were enough to confirm and break my heart.
"It's been happening on and off for years Bells, this is the first time she has decided that the guy was worth ending our marriage for" he said and I knew that no matter what my dad would always love my mom, and part of me thought he was a fool for it.
"She's making me move with her dad, please don't make me go" I begged my dad; I didn't want to leave him alone.
"Bella, Baby Girl, I don't want you to go; I begged her to let you stay with me and your friends, but she wouldn't budge and not that I ever value objects over you because I would sell my soul for you, but she is going to take me for everything we have and while I would give all my money in a heartbeat she threatened to empty my savings fund which as you know is your college fund and I can't let her do that" he was telling the truth I could tell and it broke my heart that my mother could be this way to someone as wonderful as him.
"Daddy" I cried and he ran over and held me.
"She's already filed for divorce Bells go with her, you turn 18 in a few months if you can't take It come home; once they can't touch your college fund, come home to me" he said and I started counting down to my birthday then and there.
"Dad, who is it, who is mom leaving you for, where is she taking me" I dreaded his answer, what if it was so far away that I couldn't come and see my dad.
He took a deep breath and looked me in the eyes, "Bella you mom is leaving me for Phil"
I couldn't breathe, Phil Black, my dad's best friends brother, a man who was only 12 years older then me and who I could barely stand to talk to for longer then 5 minutes, this was the man that my mother was ripping our family apart for.
***End Flashback***
"I'm leaving" I stood up walking towards my room and grabbing some stuff and a bag as my mother ran in looking furious.
"You are not going anywhere"
"I am 18 now, you can't stop me from going, Dad told me I could come home if I wanted to and I am going" she did not look happy at the news of impending departure back to my father, she left my room and I knew what was going to happen and I needed to be quick and make my exit.
Grabbing my backpack and my keys I ran out the door, jumping in my truck I took off, it was pouring down rain and although I was soaked through, I felt warm and content for the first time in months, I was heading home. So far so good I had made it over onto the highway and was in Forks territory now, picking up my cell phone I dialed my dad and didn't notice the black truck that pulled up next to me until it hit me in the side.
"Shit" I shouted looking over at Phil's truck, he swerved at me again and I tried to swerve out of his way but that in combination with the wet roads my truck lost control and flew down over the hill, rolling before landing in a smash, and everything went black.
Green and wet, that's all I could see when I opened my eyes I felt off and in trying to sit up I realized that I was on my side; remembering that I had wrecked my truck it only took a minute until the blood trickled down my face and I passed out.
"Edward No" I heard a female voice yell somewhere in my brain.
"Alice it smells to good, I can't" a voice that sounded like heaven called out.
"Carlisle" another female said, "is she alive"
"Yes Emmett, Rose get Edward out of here, Alice call 911 and then head home too; We will stay with her until the Ambulance comes" the man said and I didn't hear any sounds of people moving.
"Help is on the way, you don't appear to be hurt badly but we need to get you looked at, I'm Dr. Cullen, can you tell me your name" the man's voice was like music and I could listen to it forever.
"Bella Swan" I said with a croak.
"Chief Swan's daughter" the female asked.
"Yes" I said and thought about my dad, I would get to see him soon and I tried to sit up again.
"Bella, please just lay still until I can assess your injuries. Esme will call your dad, do you remember what happened" Dr. Cullen asked me, and I tried to remember.
"A black truck and the wet road" I said before the smell of blood hit me again and I felt myself starting to go again.
"Carlisle, it smells weird here, can you smell it" Esme asked.
I didn't hear the answer, but off in the distance I could hear sirens, so I closed my eyes and waited.
Waking up once again I was hit with the sterile smell of a hospital, I looked around but the curtains had been pulled leaving me cut off from the rest of the room. I was just getting ready to push for a nurse when the curtain opened and in walked my dad, relief flooding his face at the site of me.
"Bells" he said rushing forward and hugging me, I breathed in his scent he smelled like coffee and pine just like I remembered.
"Dad, what happened" I asked my mind still a little foggy.
"You were in an accident, it appears you hydroplaned and went over the hill at by Miller's Point; thank goodness for that tank of a truck I bought you it saved you from some serious injuries, you've got a concussion and some bumps and bruises" he said hugging me again.
"Where is my truck"
"They are working on pulling it out now but its deep in the woods, if Dr. Cullen and his Wife hadn't been hiking we might not of found you for quite a while" he said and worry flickered across his face.
"Dr. Cullen, who is he" I asked trying to get my head out of the fog it was in.
"He is the new Dr. in town; wonderful guy, Bells where were you going so fast" he asked.
"I was coming home Dad, I couldn't take it there anymore it was like prison" I said trying to fight back my emotions.
"But your mom told me you were happy" he said confused.
"What" I asked trying to make any sense of this.
"I called you and Renee said that you were happy there, that you had made new friends and that me calling you would just upset you" he said and I was amazed how far my mother had went to keep me from my life.
"It was a lie, I was miserable there" I started, but the curtain was pulled back again and a blonde Adonis walked in.
"Isabella, so glad to see you are awake" and I could remember his voice.
"Dr. Cullen can she go home soon" my dad asked and the Dr. nodded his head and pulled out his pen light and shined it in my eyes.
"She will be fine with some rest Charlie, she should be able to go to school on Monday but rest over the weekend ok Isabella" he said and I nodded, thinking about the other voices that I had heard in the woods.
Then I heard the voice I had hoped not to hear, my mother was inquiring about me to someone, my father got to his feet and walked out of the curtain.
"Renee" he said curtly and I could see through a gap in the curtain as Renee stood with Phil her expression was one of frustration, not worry.
"I got a call that Bella was in an accident, where is she"
"She is resting right now, she will be ok" he said not giving out my location.
"Well I want to take her home" my mom said and anxiety filled me.
"She is coming home with me" my dad answered and I watched Phil tense.
"I have custody Charlie" my mother snapped.
"She's 18 Renee, and you were never awarded custody Bella decided where she wanted to go, and now she has decided that she wants to come home with me" his tone was a cross between authoritative and angry.
"Bella will leave with us" Phil said speaking for the first time and when he spoke I remembered being hit by his truck as I fled for my father's house.
"I don't think so and you will remember that you are not in La Push anymore, you are in Forks now and you have no power here, you were able to lie to me and keep me from my daughter while she was with you Renee but now she is home and this is where she is staying" my father said.
"Isabella are you ok?" Dr. Cullen had come back in the room without me noticing.
"Bella, I go by Bella" I said trying to hear my father.
"You can go as soon as you are ready, but for now I think you should just sit tight until your father finishes up out there" he said his voice filled with concern.
"Thank you, is your wife here Dr. Cullen" I asked.
"No Esme headed home" he looked at me intrigued.
"Oh, I wanted to thank her and you for helping me in the woods, also I don't remember it very clearly but were there more with you, I remember names and voices but" I stopped as my father came back in; his brow furrowed and looking tired.
"They're gone for now" he said and handed me a bag, "I brought you some dry clothes from home, once your dressed we can leave the good Dr. said".
I took the bag and he and Dr. Cullen left the room giving me some privacy. Once I was dressed we headed out to my dad's cruiser and headed home, stopping briefly at the diner so my dad could pick up some take-out.
Dad left for the station to finish up some things and promised to spend the evening with me, I walked through my house realizing how much I had missed my home and my room. After a shower and a comforting dinner of my favorite Cheeseburger and fries and curling up on the sofa I was at home at last and glad to be there, the door opened and my father walked back in the house.
"Your registered for school, since it's only September you haven't missed much; I ran into Angela while I was there and she asked if she could stop by later, I told her that was fine, she was very excited to here that you are back and also told me that she too was told not to call you anymore. Bella I want you to tell me about La Push" my dad finished.
AN: Ok so it seemed like a good place to stop for now, so that Chapter 2 will go into more detail about her life in La Push.
I hope that you like it so far and will give it a chance to see where it is going to go.
Ages Bella is 18, Phil is 30, Renee is 38, Charlie is 40, and Jacob is 17.
