Prologue

"Mom do you have my tickets? What time I am leaving tomorrow?" I asked excitedly the moment I stepped in the door from my last day of school. Every year I would leave the first day of summer break to live with my father in Forks Washington until the fall. It was the highlight of my year. I couldn't wait to get back to my father Charlie and most importantly my best friend Jacob. Our parents were best friends and we've known each other since we were in diapers and I was devastated when my parents divorced and my mother took me away from everyone I loved. I was very young at the time but I remember the pain all too well. Jacob and I always kept in contact by letters or Billy would bring him over to Charlie's and he would call me. But it wasn't the same and we lived for the summer months when we could be together. I was already packed and could barely sit still.

"You're staying home this summer Bella." My mother said and it was like her words knocked the wind out of me. No! This couldn't be happening.

"What?" I stuttered.

"With Phil being out of work we just can't afford to send you this year I'm sorry. Besides we thought it would be a good idea if you spent the summer at home for a change."

"Forks is my home! I never wanted to leave."

"Oh please. I know you love your father but that little hick town has nothing to offer you! I still don't know why love that place so much, I couldn't wait to get out of there. Wait a minute this is all about Billy's boy isn't it?"

"You know how close Jacob and I are. It's still hard to be away from him and Dad and my trips to Forks is the only thing I have to look forward to."

"I see what going here. This was cute when you two were little but you're older now and I think it's time you separate yourself from him. You're only sixteen and that's way too young to be so wrapped up in one boy-"

"This isn't just any boy Mom, this is Jacob. You know how much he means to me."

"That's it you are definitely not going." I stormed off to my room before the tears escaped my eyes. I didn't want her to see me cry. How could she do this to me? I didn't want to be here, I hated Phoenix and everything about it! It was too hot and I could barely breathe in the damn humidity. It was nothing but dry desert and it was way too far away from my best friend. I didn't fit in with the kids my age and my only ally was my older cousin Amber. I've always wanted to live with Charlie but my mother didn't let me because the courts awarded her full custody. "I'm leaving for work Bella we'll talk about this later when I get home."

"Bye Mom." I said bitterly not planning on listening to a word she had to say.

"Would you at least get up and make some supper for you and Phil?" Ugh he is your husband not mine. I thought to myself but remained silent and I heard the front door close. I hated being left alone with that pig. I didn't understand what my mother saw in him. He was a lazy bum who couldn't hold down a job. He was once a decent baseball player and was even in the minor league when my Mom met him but got kicked off his team because he was a drunk. And the way he looked at me gave me the creeps. He would undress me with his eyes and my mother would pretend not to notice. To her he could do no wrong and it made me sick. Once he even walked in on me when I was getting dressed and she blamed me saying I should've locked my door. I was hungry though so I reluctantly got up and starting preparing the chicken for a jambalaya. I felt another presence in the room and then Phil's arms were around me and I was repulsed by his smell and the liquor on his breath.

"What are you doing Phil? Let me go!" I struggled against him as his hands began to roam my body.

"Stop fighting you little slut I know you like it." He said grabbing my breast.

"Stop it Phil! Don't touch me!" I yelled as his hands starting rubbing my ass and I could feel his erection poking against me.

"I know why you're so anxious to get back to that boy. You're fucking him aren't you? Well if that's what you want you don't have to go to Washington for that I can give it to you right here." He said grabbing my hand and bringing it between his legs. I used the opportunity to my advantage and squeezed his little dick as hard as I could making him scream in pain.

"You sick bastard don't you ever put your filthy hands on me again!" I yelled and quickly went and got the bags I packed for the trip and took off out the front door. I had to get out of there. There was no way I could continue to stay under the same roof with this pervert. I already knew my mother would be on his side so I didn't twice about leaving her behind. I have never forgiven her for taking me away from my father. I moved as fast as my feet could take me, I didn't want to be anywhere near the house when Phil recovered. I saw a public transit bus coming and thankfully I had enough change on me for fare so I ran to the bus stop and hopped on. I rode until I was blocks away from my cousin's house so I got off and walked the rest of the way until I made it to her front door. I rang the doorbell praying she was home. I soon saw her green eyes peeking through her curtain.

"Bella?" She opened the door and quickly pulled me into a hug. "What are you doing here is everything okay?" She asked ushering me inside and locking the door.

"No everything is not okay!" I said frantically.

"What happened?"

"Phil tried to force himself on me." It was hard to me to say that word but it was the only way for me to describe what he did to me. Amber looked appalled and pissed.

"Did you tell Renee?"

"She's at work. And why bother she's not going to care. I can't go back there Amber, I can't."

"You don't have to. You can stay here with me as long as you like." Amber was twenty two and lived on her own. She was my mother's niece but we looked like sisters except she was taller with green eyes and she wasn't pale like me.

"I need to get out of Phoenix can you help me?"

"What do you need me to do?"

"Can you drive me to Forks?"

"I'll be ready in twenty minutes."
