Finding Love in the England Asylum
Chapter 1: Betrayed By Family
Full Summary:
Bella and Emmett Swan live together in their small town of Forks. One night during a thunderstorm, their next door neighbor, James Tyler, broke in. They fought him off and end up being sent to an asylum in England! They soon meet the Cullens, Hales, soon to be Howls, and soon to be Cheneys. What will Bella find is store for her when she falls for the bronze-haired Cullen boy and has to find a way for all ten of them to escape!
My name is Isabella Swan, call me Bella for short. I live here in Forks, Washington with my family. They consist of my parents, Charlie and Renee Swan, and my brother Emmett Swan.
Emmett is my twin and goes with me everywhere. We don't really have any friends besides each other, but we don't care. It's always just the two of us. Him and his freakish size would keep people away from us (which we preferred), and I would be smart enough to help us both pass the year with a passing grade (god knows Emmett needs it.)
My parents are never really around. Charlie is the head of the Forks police and Renee is a famous designer of food decorations. When they are home, they mostly work on other stuff and hardly talk to us, but we don't care. We like it better that way.
The weather in Forks is... well, let's just say is always rainy. Hardly any sun, so people that have lived here for awhile are quite pale, almost as pale as the dead.
It was just a normal day in our rainy town of Forks, it was the summer holidays. We had just graduated from Forks High and we were planning on going to collage together over in New Hampshire.
Emmett and I had to stay home today because of the weather - a lightning bolt had sent the town into darkness. Emmett and I got the generator up and running and played some of our video games, starting with some racing ones and then some fighting ones. He paused the game and headed to the bathroom.
"Hey, squirt!" Emmett called from the bathroom. "You want to start lunch now? I'm hungry!"
"Alright, Em! Just leave some for me this time!" I laughed and walked into the kitchen and began to make some burgers for him and me.
"How many do you want?" I called.
"Just make me ten Bells! Thanks!" I laughed when I heard how many he wanted.
"I think you just might break your old record, Em!" I shouted. "Come get what I have done!" Sure enough he ran into the kitchen and began to eat them, still standing.
"Emmett, sit down." I sighed. He did as I said, gave me his wide grin and I laughed, it was filled with food, and yet he didn't care at all. I began to eat my own burger.
Suddenly the light went out; I screamed and felt my way over to Emmett, when I found him I grabbed tightly onto his arm. He pulled out his keys and turned the flashlight he keeps on his keychain on.
"Chill Bells, the generator must have run out of power, we didn't recharge it last time. Let's go check it out." I clung to his arm as we both walked down the basement stairs.
We both stopped when we saw a light down there already. Emmett turned off his and we quietly walked down the rest of the stairs.
I was shocked beyond belief when I saw the house was broken into by our next door neighbor James Tyler (yes, this is the bad/evil James that tries to kill Bella in the real Twilight with Victoria and Laurent). Emmett had a hand on his old baseball bat that was on the floor, he picked it up and tapped James on the shoulder.
"What the hell are you doing in our house?" Emmett said with much more venom than I've ever heard him use. He's always been the happy jokester.
James didn't answer him. Instead he swung at Emmett - big mistake. Emmett stayed in place when James swung. His fist hit Emmett's chest and James went flying back into the wall. Emmett ran after him and punched him in the jaw, then in his lower abdomen.
Emmett picked him up by his shirt and was about to give him the final punch when we heard screams behind us and yelling. I turned around at the bottom of the stairs to see my parents and James' wife Victoria.
Victoria ran to James just as Emmett dropped him. His nose looked to be broken and blood was pouring from his face.
She looked form him to us and began to yell at us. "What did you do to my husband?" She roared. I ran over to Emmett, he pulled me into his chest and coiled his arms around me while we faced Victoria.
I gasped when I saw James move at her feet. She screamed and dropped to the floor to pull his head into her lap.
"Vic-Victoria" cough "I came over to help the kids when I heard Bella scream, then when I came over Emmett dragged me down here and kept punching me. I think the kids have gone mental, you need to tell them about the England Asylum." He whispered to her before he blacked out, I think.
"Charlie, Renee, can I talk to you upstairs." She said in a whimpering voice. The two of our parents nodded and she walked with them upstairs, closing the door.
"Let's go listen." I whispered to Emmett. He nodded and we quietly walk up the stairs.
"The two of them look like they have become mental." I heard Victoria say. "I think, for the best way for them to get better is that they go to the England Asylum. It does cost a pretty penny, but it helps mental kids that are right at this age. I felt so ashamed of myself when I had to tell my sister that her kids, while they were staying with me, had to go there. They had done the same thing to my husband that your kids did and I believe that it is a similar case. Sending them now might get them out in time for college. Although no calls can be made to them, it disrupts their healing." She said. I looked at Emmett and saw it in his eyes, we both wanted to deck her.
"I don't care where they go as long as my reputation is safe and they are out of my hair." I heard Renee say. My mouth dropped, as did Emmett's. Our own mother didn't care about us and is sending us to an asylum when we don't need help at all. Charlie hadn't said anything, but I bet he was nodding. He always took mom's side over ours, but only because he was afraid he might lose her.
We walked down to the bottom of the stairs and I cried in Emmett's lap. I felt tears on my back while he was rubbing it. I looked up to see him crying too. Our parents just betrayed us and we now had to go to an asylum in England!
The door then opened above. Charlie came down and helped James onto his back. He looked at us one final time before walking up the stairs and setting James on the couch. We followed him and our mother stopped us at the doorway.
"Go pack your bags." She said cooly, looking at us with hatred. "You'll be leaving on the first flight tomorrow morning at nine." Then she walked over to James and helped take care of the bruises and cuts that Emmett gave him.
We both packed our bags in no time. I pulled mine out into the hall next to Emmett's by his door. I walked into his room, it was bare now. Favorite stuff and clothes packed, just like mine. I had emptied out my bookshelf and packed my books and writing notebooks in a suitcase.
Emmett was on his bed, staring at the ceiling. I crawled on the bed with him and that's where we slept the night.
I woke up the next morning in my brother's arms. I looked up at his face and saw that he was awake. "Bells, can you sing right now? A song that fits the place in life we're in now." He asked in a whisper.
I nodded. "How about 'Welcome to my life' by simple plan?" I asked and he nodded.
'Welcome to my Life by Simple Plan'
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever want to runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming
No you don't know what its like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what its like to be like me
To be hurt
To be lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked, when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what its like
Welcome to my life
Do you want to be like some one else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more
Before your life is over?
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With the big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside your bleeding
No you don't know what its like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what its like to be like me
To be hurt
To be lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked, when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what its like
Welcome to my life
No ones ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy
But I'm not going to be ok!
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work, it was always there
You don't know what its like, what it like!
To be hurt
To be lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked, when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what its like (what its like)
To be hurt
To be lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked, when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what its like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
I ended my song just as Renee opened the door. "Stop that racket and get downstairs. The men who are here to escort you to England are here." She snapped.
More tears had fallen from my eyes as rage filled my face, Emmett's face now seemed angrier now too, although with no more tears. I guess his are all dried up. Renee looked back to snap another thing at us, but when she saw our faces she clamped her mouth shut and just kept walking. I picked up a couple of my bags while Emmett took the rest.
There was a large black van out front. Two men in black suits stood by the back end of the car. The walked over to us and began to take our stuff and put it in the back of the van. When they finished they came up to us and tried to push us to the van, okay, more like only I could be pushed. I grabbed on to Emmett and he held me close to him. The men stood back, eyeing Emmett carefully.
"Son, we need you and your sister to get into the van. I'm sorry if I made you mad." The first one said. Yeah right. Only when pigs fly, I thought.
We looked back at our parents, Renee smiled at us, she was happy that we were leaving. Charlie, though, didn't look so happy, he did actually care that we were leaving. I even saw a tear leave his eye, Emmett saw it too and I squeezed his hand. I ran over to our father and kissed his check.
"We will come back to you dad, I promise." His smile was real this time and he pulled me into a hug. He did the same with Emmett.
We looked back at our mother, she didn't care. No smile was on her face now, only a look of anger. We walked over to the van and got in, but not before we both flipped her off.
She screamed and ran toward the van as we sped out of the driveway.
We finally got on the plane nearly an hour later due to the tight security. Emmett and I sat in the middle seats with both of the men in suits next to us but in the next island over. Emmett would never leave me alone with them. When I had to go to the bathroom he would stand outside the door. And when he had to go, he would pile our bags around him and piss in his empty coke bottle. I appreciated him staying but I could also handle myself, Emmett is the one who taught me to fight and box, and I wasn't afraid of them. Emmett and I would talk of what our new home would be like. We did come up with some good things. We planned to make a few friends and all get together to escape. I bet it would work too. These two guys were afraid of Em, and there were more of them than Em. We could use this to our advantage along with the fact that they don't know that I can fight back.
Like one day at high school, it was junior year and a guy was hitting on me. Emmett wasn't there because he was finishing up a test. Faster then he could say 'oww' I flipped him onto a table next to me. After that no boys dared to come close to me. Emmett was so proud of me, he made the only thing he could, his special super sugar rush sundae. I was filled with ice cream, whipped cream, frosting, chocolate syrup and chips, strawberry syrup, cookie dough pieces, Oreo pieces, and hot fudge. It was the best damn desert I ever had! But it was so much to eat that we shared it. We both laughed at the memory.
Suddenly I felt the plane landing and slowing to a stop. We were landing.
Well... we're on our way to hell.
