Hi, I hope you enjoy my story.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Cullens, Bella or any of the Twilight characters. The only people that I do own are the characters which will be coming up in the later chapters I will mention the each character when they come up in the story.

Bella woke up with a groan, rolled over and hit the snooze button on the alarm clock. She opened her eyes expecting to find Edward standing at the end of her bed like always except this time she was surprised to find that he wasn't. Bella got to her feet and went to brush her teeth, take a shower and get ready for school. Whilst in the shower Bella struggled to remember a dream that she knew she had last night but as hard as she tried nothing came to mind. She figured that it wasn't all that important if she couldn't remember and climbed out of the shower and got dressed. Bella went downstairs to see if she could find Charlie but seeing nobody in the kitchen realised that he either must've gone fishing or been pulled into work despite it being his day off.

She placed the bread to make her toast in the toaster and decided to switch her phone on to see if she had received any messages from anyone but what she saw instead was something that made her heart fall into her stomach and her knees go weak though not in a good way at all, there on the screen was a reminder that she had set when she had fist bought the phone. May 28th. A day that she'd rather forget but one that was engraved on her memory and she knew that she couldn't get rid of it. Bella jumped as the toaster alerted her that her breakfast was ready, she no longer felt hungry but knew that if she didn't eat then Edward would discover that and ask questions which she wouldn't be able to answer without telling him everything, he'd then ask Carlisle to examine her who would also ask questions and then when she wouldn't answer Carlisle they'd call Charlie which was the last thing that she wanted. Although Charlie would understand the reasons for her not eating once being told of what day it is, he'd probably be asked questions by the Cullens and even though he'd hold strong for a while Bella knew that he'd eventually cave and tell the Cullens everything about her which was Bella's worst nightmare. Bella quickly ate and swallowed the dry toast, then went out onto the porch in order to wait for Edward. Bella tried to compose herself before Edward arrived and barely managed to stop the tears spilling down her face.

Edward arrived and sped off as soon as Bella got into the car, Edward continuously apologised for not being with her when she woke up but Bella wasn't really concentrating on what Edward was saying as she had too much on her mind.

"Bella? Are you alright?" Edward had noticed something was off about Bella as soon as he picked her up but was now becoming increasingly concerned as he had caught that she wasn't listening to him when he spoke to her. Edward knew that she had eaten something otherwise her stomach would be rumbling due to hunger.

"Edward I'm fine. Don't worry." Bella repeatedly cursed herself for not paying enough attention to Edward as it caused him to notice that something was wrong with her. She pushed the day's date and the events that had happened years ago into the back of her mind and paid full attention to Edward for the rest of the ride to school.

As school ended Bella left through the doors and wanted nothing more than to go home, curl up on her bed and cry but Edward insisted on taking her to his house as Alice wanted to see her along with the rest of the family. Edward wanted to take her to his house for another reason too. He hadn't been convinced when Bella protested that she was fine so he wanted Carlisle to check her over to make sure that she was telling the truth. When Bella entered the Cullen home she knew that there was another reason that she was there. There were two ways that she knew. One, Carlisle was at home when he was supposed to be at work and two, everyone was looking at her with concern despite trying to look as if they weren't looking at her at all.

"Bella, can you follow me to my study? There's something that I want to talk to you about." Bella hesitated but eventually followed after him. She knew that Carlisle wouldn't hurt her and so couldn't understand why she was so reluctant to go with him. Bella entered his study and sat down.

"Edward came to me with concerns about you. He believes that there is some thing wrong. Is there? You know you can tell me or my family anything." Bella looked directly at him.

"Just like I told Edward, I'm fine." Carlisle sighed but let Bella go. He wasn't convinced but he knew that he couldn't make Bella talk if she didn't want to. Bella left his study and went downstairs. She stayed for several hours just to appease them but soon the concerned looks just got too much for her.

"I'm fine! Why don't you just believe me? Just leave me alone!" Bella stormed out of the house, ignoring the calls for her to come back and made the long journey home on foot.

Soon it began to get dark and Bella eventually admitting defeat pulled out her phone and called Charlie. She waited in the nearest bus stop for Charlie. When he did pull up he immediately got out of his car and approached Bella.

"Bella? Are you okay? What's happened? Did Edward do something? If it was him I will feel no remorse in retrieving my gun despite being on good terms with the boy's father." Bella gave no answer to Charlie's questions and instead pulled out her phone and showed him the reminder. Charlie immediately understood and pulled Bella in for a welcome albeit slightly awkward hug and guided her towards the car.

As soon as they entered the house Charlie turned to Bella to ask whether she wanted something to eat but was met with the sight of her running up the stairs. Charlie sighed but didn't follow her and retreated to the living room to watch the football.

Bella opened her door and just lay on the bed. She was prepared to just cry herself to sleep right there but suddenly remembered her open window and the fact that if she didn't close it then any of the Cullens could come in and then she'd never get a moment's peace. Bella arose from her bed, shut the window and shut the curtains over it. She then went and lay back on her bed where she finally let the tears spill down her face and she wept bitterly. Bella eventually succumbed to sleep, her last thought was how she regretted the way that she spoke to the Cullens and that she hoped they could forgive her. Her eyes closed and she fell into a restless sleep.

I hope you liked the first chapter of The Unsaid. About 8 reviews will prompt me to update.
