Chapter 1

Bella POV

Edward ran threw the forest.

"Edward wait up!"

"Bella you should know that I wouldn't slow down for you" My best friend replied. Edward and I had been friends since 1st grade, when he and I where made to sit together.

"That's not fair!" I shot back. Edward stopped and came back to me smiling like an idiot.

"I won"

"You always win Edward"

"What time is it?"

"Time for you to get a watch! 4:30"

"Crap I have to see Tanya!" Tanya was Edward's girlfriend, she was always mean to me, I didn't like her, but I tried for Edward. "Bella! You should come with us and hang out."

"Edward... I don't know... Tanya and I aren't exactly friends"

"Bella... Is there something your not telling me?"

"NO! Of course not! Edward your my best friend! Your more than a brother to me."

"Bella, I want you to have this..." Edward pulled a box out of his pocket. "It was my mother's... You know Elizabeth Masen's" I opened the box to reveal a silver locket, detailed on one side then on the other 'love forever' was inscribed.

"Edward..."

"I wanted to give it to someone I trusted, and I trust you... Of course the love forever bit is in different connotations..." I looked at him.

"Could you help me put it on?"

"Sure!" He came behind me and I lifted my hair up and he did the locket up.

"It's so pretty Edward!" I looked up at him and hugged him.

"The picture inside is of us, Esme took it when we were small" With shaking hands I gently opened it. I remembered the day the picture was taken:

"Bella! I can't find you!" I giggled behind the trees. I stepped out and Edward was crying.

"EDWARD!" I ran forward and hugged him

" Bella! I thought I would never see you again" Edward sniffed

"I'm here now!" I hugged him and Esme came out to see why Edward was crying.

"Funny how I thought I would never have a friend like you" I smiled, I was happiest with Edward.

"Didn't you say you had to see Tanya..."

"Damn it! See you soon Bells! Call me if they...!"

"I will" I said looking down, Edward ran off and I walked back to the house.

It was quiet when I got home, I closed the door and took off my converse and jacket.

"Bella, your father is a monster (I'm listening to Monster by Lady Gaga) I'm leaving!"

"Mom! Where's dad?"

"He left as well!"

"So your just going to run off and forget about your daughter, where you going this time!"

"Bella you know that's not true! I love you dearly and so does your father"

"Fine you go!"

"Bella-"

"Save it!" I stormed upstairs and I heard the front door open and closed, Charlie's boots paced around. Then I heard mumbling, my parents talking.

"I HATE YOU!"

"IF IT WASN'T FOR BELLA I WOULD HAVE LEFT YEARS AGO!"

"WHY DON'T YOU GO KNOW" I heard a vase being thrown, followed by the swash-ie noise of water.

"CHARLIE YOU ARE TREADING A THIIN LINE HERE!"

"HAVEN'T I ALWAYS SINCE WE MARRIED!"

"I'M GOING!"

"THAT'S RIGHT RUN AWAY FROM YOUR PROBLEMS YOU BITCH!"

"DON'T YOU CALL ME A BITCH!" Renee screamed, I received a text from Edward, Tanya gone! I called Edward then, he picked up on the second ring.

"Bella?"

"I HATE YOU CHARLIE!" Renee shrieked

"They've started again..." Edward said, I started to cry and Edward heard. "Shh Bella, I'm coming hang tight shhh." The door opened and slammed shut twice in a row. "They've left haven't they"

"Yes" I squeaked.

"Are you going to eat tonight"

"No" I said truthfully.

"I'm coming to get you" I knew there was no point in protesting, I heard Edward get into his car.

"Come soon..." I said almost inaudible.

"See you in 5" Edward hung up and I got my things together for the night. I went downstairs and looked at the damage. There was a knock on my door and I knew it was Edward. I swiftly opened the door grabbing my rucksack.

"Bella-"

"Edward" My voice broke on the end, Edward pulled me into a hug. I started to cry, I tried to pull away so I didn't wreck his shirt, but Edward kept me pressed into his chest.

"Shh, Bella, you will always have a home with us, come on" He pulled me out of my house and into the car, he put the seatbelt around me and closed the door and got in. "We'll be home soon shh" Edward hummed the song he wrote for Esme.

When we got to Edward's house Esme was in the front room. Edward scooped me up out the car and carried me into the house and sat me on the sofa.

"Bella, honey" Esme said stroking my hair, Edward held my hand.

"Bella, are you hungry or thirsty?" Edward asked. I shook my head. "Are you tired?" I nodded, surprised. Edward lead me upstairs, I was about to go into the guest bedroom. "Carlisle and Esme think it would be better if you slept in my room tonight Bella, is that okay?" I nodded and followed Edward to his room.
