Bella's POV

"You can't do this anymore Bella" Emmett said to me

"I cant stand the pain anymore Emmett, my past is haunting me, it's going to haunt me for the rest of my life!" I said

"Bella if you give up on life everything is going to come crashing down" he said putting his hand on my shoulder

"Emmett" I said sighing

"Come on, we have to go to class, it's a big thing for us right now" he said

"No! I don't want to go to class, I want to go home" I said

"Bella we can't go back to Seattle, you know what happened there, and do you really need to re-live those memories?" my sister –Alice- said

"I…" I said

"That's what I thought Bella, now please let's go to class before we get in trouble. Being popular doesn't mean that we can get out of class easily, and I don't need detention. It would ruin everything when I applied for college" Alice said

I sighed and Alice dragged my away from the bench outside of the school, the school in New York, where our parents pulled us to when my life fell apart in Seattle Washington. It was hard to think about it, but it was the first thing that came to my mind.

Flashback

I was sitting in a classroom just doodling in my notebook with my boyfriend –Edward Masen- sitting next to me. Even though I was doodling in my notebook he was holding my hands in his and kissed my knuckles.

My brother sat in front of me and Alice behind me, it was a great day today in Seattle. It wasn't raining for one day and it was nice and sunny and warm. It was almost 80 degrees outside so I finally got to break out my flip flops. The bell rang and I jumped from my seat with Edward's hand still in mind,

"Bella slow down" he said in his foreign accent

He was British, and one of the foreign exchange students here. For May, he was going to leave in a few weeks, just about a month actually. It was going to be hectic, I was going to miss him like crazy when he moved back to London.

"I'm sorry Edward, the bell startled me" I said

"It's okay baby, it's okay" he said kissing my head

The day went by way to quickly before something happened in the parking lot.

"Bella I have something to tell you" he said

"What is it Edward?" I asked

"I…." he said

Something he hadn't told me in the months we've known each other?

"Bella! Get the fuck away from him!" Alice said running towards me and pulling me away from my boyfriend

"Alice! What's going on?" I asked

"Didn't he ever tell you? He's a criminal!" she said

"Edward what's going on? You're a criminal?" I asked

"It's not what you think it is Alice" he said

"Oh why not? You've killed people Edward, you're not even 16!" she said

"No I'm 17 Alice, it's one year" he said

"You've killed people?" I asked

"Bella it's…" he said

"If you've killed someone Edward, I could care less to be with you. I don't need to die because my boyfriend killed me" I said

"Bella it's not what you think!" he said

"Edward if you've killed someone I don't care, even if it had something to do with your family. I hate you" I said

End of flashback

It was true, Edward Masen had killed someone, many people actually. In addition, his name was fake, he was an Edward but he had been the "famous" killer Edward Cullen. Can I tell you why I despise this man even more then you would think from what I've told you?

He almost killed my mother, well not him exactly, his father. When my sister brother and I were 5 our mother had went missing for a few months, it was one thing I always remembered that. It was hard not to forget my mother had been kidnapped from our family.

Our mother returned, beaten and battered about a year and a half later after her kidnapping. We moved instantly and nothing bad had happened until our sophomore year of high school when I met Edward Masen, or in other words the son of the man who had kidnapped my mother when I was 5 years old.

When my mother and father found out who he was after my sister barged in the door of the house and I burst into tears, we were packing up the house and out of the area within a few hours. The house had already been sold in minutes over the internet. Apparently they buyer had been looking just then and wanted our house more than anything in the whole world.

We moved to the other side of the country to New York and we've been here since and I just couldn't wait until graduation when I could go wherever I wanted in the whole world, I just know…I need to leave the U.S. Though for some reason I wanted to go home, where we came from before Mom had been kidnapped by the Cullens. It was just….I need to go back to realize that I can be secure in life again and I don't have to worry.

"Why do we need foreign exchange students?" I mumbled to myself thinking of my memory

"Bella don't….why are you doing this to yourself?" Alice asked

"I'm sorry Alice, it was just something I was thinking about, I just couldn't help myself to think of those times when life was horrible" I said

"Girls!" the teacher scowled crossing his arms as he saw us in the hallway

"Hey! Mr. Johnson I didn't think I was a girl" Emmett joked

"You should be in class" he scowled at us ignoring Emmett's statement "I'm not a girl".

"I'm sorry Mr. Johnson, Bella was…" Alice said

The teachers knew my past, every single one of them, it was an odd thing. I mean why do my teachers need to know of my past? They needed to know of my past because of my family and my frequent flashbacks. The flashbacks of the good times happened at home, but when I didn't want to think of the bad things I learned after we broke up always happened at school.

I didn't get why my life had to suck so much.

"Get to class" the teacher scowled ignoring how Alice said it was one of my flashbacks

He walked away and we started what I didn't know would be a horrible senior year.

Hey! Guess what? This is so new to me and came to me when I saw an adoptive banner, which now I can claim!

What did you think of this? It involves an assward and a criminalward, something I've never written before. I hope you enjoyed this new plot bunny of mine :)
