Yeah, this is a random oneshort, or will remain a oneshort unless intrest is shown with more of it. I had this beta'd by the lovly xoAzraelzxo and I hope you guys like it.

I cuddled with Edward gently. He was in my room from climbing up a tree and jumping through my window. I hated that he had to sneak into my room for us to be together, but for now it was the only families have been at war since our grandfather's time.

The story goes my grandfather, Jonathan Swan, and Edward's grandfather, Aro Volturi, used to be best friends. But one day they both fell for a girl, Sulpicia, she was beautiful and both wanted her. They made an agreement since both wanted her that they would not go after her unless she asked them out Aro wasn't able to control himself. So even though Jonathan eventually married Marie, my grandmother, and had a son named Charles, my father, he never forgave Aro. Aro and Sulpicia had a daughter, Esme, Edward's mother. Both families taught their child to hate the other. Esme just avoided Charlie and he used to try to pick on her. But Esme was such a fragile gentle creature that no one had much of a hope of being mean to her, her heart broken face would be plenty of a guilt trip for anyone to never do a wrong deed again. As they grew older Esme married Carlisle Cullen and became Esme Cullen, Charlie married my mother and turned her into Renee Swan. Eventually my mother left Charlie and remarried becoming Renee Dwyer, not before having my brother and me then there's our generation; Edward Anthony Cullen, his sister Alice Mary Cullen, my brother, Emmett Paul Swan and I, Isabella Marie Swan. We were taught to hate each other but it didn't go much according to plan.

Sure Edward and Emmett battled constantly but it always was more of an air of playing around then true hate. Eventually there was the Hale family, who moved in to town. Jasper Lee Hale and Rosalie Lillian Hale, Jasper is dating Alice and Rosalie is dating Emmett. The six of us started a secret friendship. In front of our parents Rosalie loved me and Emmett and couldn't stand Alice or Edward, likewise Jasper loved Alice and Edward and hated me and Emmett. But this was all pretended, we were all the best of friends. Edward and I started dating about the same time the others did. It was the worst for us because of so much we missed. Edward had to sneak out of his house every night to come to mine because that was really the only time we could be school we had to be careful that no one guessed our emotions deeper then friendship or then gossip would start and our families would find out. I hated it; we had discreetly asked our parents what they would think if we had ever dated the other. Both had answered the same, we would be dead to them. I love Edward too much to put him through that. So we keep our love a secret from our parents until we move away.

"I love you Bella, so much." Edward whispered to me and I blushed.

"I love you to Edward, more than anything." I whispered back. Then we heard a creak and we both froze, afraid to move.

After awhile we heard a door open and close across the hall, my dad and stepmother's room. About a year after one of my dad's friends, Harry Clearwater died, his widow, Sue Clearwater, and Charlie grew closer. Sue had two kids to, Leah and Seth Clearwater. Leah moved away to California after she caught her ex-fiancé, Sam Uley, cheating on her with her cousin, Emily Young. Seth lives at the Black's house with Billy and his son Jacob. Seth loved his mom but didn't want to move out of La Push but insisted she go to Forks and he stays with his close friend. Sue reluctantly agreed and Seth came over for dinner every that another creak I heard? I looked at Edward who didn't seem to have heard anything and I relaxed. That was until we heard it.

"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN!" Edward and I turned to see Charlie standing their looking murderous.

"Dad?" I gasped hoping I was just seeing things.

"What are you doing in the arms of him!"

Edward quickly pulled me to him covering my body with his."Chief Swan, I swear we did nothing but hold each other. I love your daughter and would never hurt her."

"Love?" Charlie asked, "Your family is incapable of love." His yelling must of woke up Sue because she ran in, Emmett was gone for a weekend along with Rosalie, Jasper, and Alice for a family trip that the Hale's had invited their children's boy/girl friend.I have never been more afraid of my father then I am in this moment. He advanced on Edward and me and pulled Edward by the collar of his shirt and threw him out the window.

"Edward!" I cried rushing to the window. I was in sweatpants and a big oversized shirt, Edward was in sweatpants and a shirt to. Surly that must at least show Charlie that we weren't doing anything.

"I'm alright love!" Edward yelled up to me, I felt tears coming from sheer relief that he was okay.

"Sue! Get that boy to his house and tell his parents." Charlie growled, "I'll deal with Isabella." I gulped and looked at Sue with a look that said 'please help me' but she had already left the room.

I looked up at Charlie scared, this wasn't my father. It's like he's possessed. He pulls off his belt and starts hitting me with it. I scream but there's no one here to hear me. The leather feels like a whip and every now and then the brass buckle hits me and causes my skin to bleed. I cry out every hurts so badly that all I can do is think about Edward. Happy place, happy place. Imagine his smile, his happiness, his love. I hope that he isn't going through the same thing as me, that will kill me more than my father and his damn belt could ever hope to do. No, my sanity can't take it, he must not be hurt.

Then I woke up, at first I thought it was all a dream. A horrible nightmare. That was before I saw the bruise. I quickly ran to my mirror to see the damage to my face. I had one black eye but besides that my face was okay, a bruise on my right upper arm and left lower arm, and long snake-like bruises from the belt. Several cuts were also present, I'm guessing from the metal of the belt. My legs bore hand shaped bruises from Charlie holding me down so I couldn't get the hell am I going to do?Think, think, think Bella! I quickly pull on a pair of loose sweat pants and a sweat shirt along with sun glasses. It's warmish but still I could get away with a sweat suit for now.I don't give my father time to come back; I race towards my truck and fly into the cab of it.

Sitting hurts, so does running. I quickly put my keys in the ignition and sigh in relief when the truck roars to life. I don't know who Charlie is anymore and I don't know if this new side of him would inactivate my truck to make it impossible to get away.I rush to school and look for Edward. He's over by his silver Volvo smiling at me and he quickly rushes to me when he sees my truck park.

"Love! Did you father calm down yet?" Edward asked smiling; his parents must have forgiven him that's good. Edward reaches out and gently touches my arm to pull me to him but I let out an aching hiss as he does it. His hand snaps back and he looks at me with questioning eyes, I just look at him fighting back the tears. Something must have alerted him because he gently lifts off my sunglasses and gazes at me in horror."Bella…did Charlie?" Edward asks looking like he's going to be sick.

"Yes." I whisper looking down."

"Is their more?" I simply glance down at my covered body and Edward quickly slips the glasses over my face and rushes me to his Volvo. He's quietly determined as he drives and I just look at him completely scared of what's going to happen. I mean I know that there are people who beat their kids. Who doesn't know that? But it never seemed like something that really happened; I always thought that the people who beat their kids are always caught How many students in my own school deal with this every day?

Edward pulls up near a clearing near the woods and I know where were going. Our meadow. He pulled on his big book bag we got we found this meadow when we were nine. It had two blankets, one to lie down on and one to cover up with, and two pillows. He then picked me up bridal style and carried me through the woods holding me close to him safe and he got me to our meadow he set me on a fallen log at the entrance of the meadow. He stroked my cheek on the opposite side of my black eye and gave my lips a small kiss before going off to the middle of the meadow. He pulled out the thick blue blanket that was specially water proof the two pillows on top of it along with the other thicker blanket. He came back and picked me up and carried me and set me on the blanket as gently if I was a porcelain doll. He kissed me as if I was a silk bubble and moved my hair from my face gently.

"What did he do Bella?" Edward asked shaking gently.

"Charlie was really mad." I whispered.

"Show me. Show me Bella." Edward whispered his hands only a mere inch from touching my skin.

I pushed my pants off and pulled my top off. I was wearing a pair of matching powder blue cotton boy shorts and bra. I felt myself blush and feel completely ashamed of my body. I know that I would never be close to beautiful as Edward, but I would think that the first time that Edward saw me in only panties would be at least a little sexy. Even though we have been together for so many years he had never seen me in less than shorts and a tank top. And now that he finally saw me in almost nothing I'm covered in bruises and cuts.

Edward looked at me shocked. "Bella, I think you need to go to the hospital." He spoke stroking a trail steering clear of any of my wounds.

"NO!" If I went to the hospital there would be questions. What could I tell them? That their chief of police all of a sudden lost it and beat his youngest? I could never do that, plus Charlie is the chief of police he could somehow make it look like it was Edward, he might know how to do that.

"Okay, we'll go to my house; dad'll take care of you." He said picking me up by my waist with one arm and with the other haphazardly pushed the pillows and blankets in the book bag. I looked at him surprised, had Edward lost his mind? "Trust me, love?" Edward asked looking in my eyes and I was lost of the impossible green of his eyes.

"Always." I whispered and he gave off the crooked smile that I love so much. He carried to the car and drove me to his house. He rushed me to the door and started kicking the door. Esme rushed to the door and saw me.

"Carlisle!" She yelled running and Edward followed her. Edward set me on the desk and Carlisle started working over me. "We always knew sweetheart." Esme said stroking my hair, "you're the perfect match for are son." I looked at them both shocked, all this time they knew? I looked at Edward wondering if he had known that they knew, he shook his head. He must have just found out last night. After Carlisle finished, using some kind of crème for my bruises, Esme put a blanket around me. I blushed realizing I only had on a bra and panties, what they must think of me.

"We know this isn't a regular occurrence." Esme smiled mothering at me, it had been the first time I ever saw a smile like that directed at me and I started crying. Edward panicked thinking I was in pain but Esme just rapped me up in her arms and stroked my hair. I felt Carlisle pat my back and I cried even harder. Even though Charlie never beat me before last night he had never been one to show affection. Sue had two kids of her own. She could be mothering to Emmett and Seth both, but she felt too much like she would be replacing Leah with me if she was anything more than an adult friend. It's sad to say, but I haven't felt mothered since my own mother left when I was five. After my crying fit was over I felt Edward wrap his arms around me and lift me up.

"I'm taking her upstairs. She needs her rest." His parents nodded and Edward carried me up to his room and tucked us in to his bed with a golden comforter."We don't have to let go ever again." Edward whispered.

"Never again." I sighed along, I was sleepy and the relief made it feel like I was floating on a cloud."I promise you Bella…I'll never let anything like that happen to you again." I was too tired to do anything but nod. "We'll have to talk to someone about what Charlie did to you, but for now rest." And with those words I fell asleep.
