This is my first twilight fanfic so I hope you like it. Please read and review!!
(Bella pov)
I opened the door and quietly as possible. I knew what would happen if I got caught sneaking in this late. I made my way up to my room and saw Phil passed out on the bathroom floor. He was holding a bottle of beer losely in his hand. I felt guilty at the thought of my mother having to deal with him by herself. I prayed that she wasn't too badly hurt. I went into my room and, like always,made sure that the drugs I had were well hidden. My mother knew I took drugs and I knew that she was really worried about me but that didn't help me. It didn't give me an escape from
the hell people called my life. But the drugs did. I sighed and thought back to when I was younger. Before she met Phil. When it was just me and her. We were so happy. If you told me that in 8 years time my mother would be beaten by her husband and I would be taking drugs, I would have laughed. I heard someone moving outside my door. I breathed in and breathed back out when I saw who it was. I was safe. For the moment.
'Bella,' my mother whispered quietly. She walked to me and hugged me tightly. 'Thank goodness your ok.' I looked at her and saw cuts and bruises on her face and arms. I reached out to touch her face and she flinched. I got off the bed I was sitting on and grabbed the first aid kit I hid inside my drawers for times like this. I sat back down and pushed Renee down as well. 'How bad was he?' I whispered while cleaning her cuts.
' He was angry, really angry when you didn't come home.' I looked down. ' Mum, I'm really sorry.' She sighed and stroked my hair. ' Don't be honey, I wish I could escape, even if it is only for a few hours. I just feel so guilty. I know we wouldn't be in this position if I hadn't of agreed to go out with Phil in the first place. He just seemed so nice at the time.' She sighed again. 'He's getting worse and I just couldn't stand it if he started to hurt you even more then what he has.' I finished cleaning her cuts. ' Don't mum. He's only hit me a few times that's all.' She took my face and made me look at her. ' Bella, he's done so much more then that, which is why I'm sending you to live with your father.' I stared at her. She can't just send me to live with him. ' I can't risk you getting more hurt then you already are and your Dad is going to help you deal with your problems.'
I was panicking. She was sending me off to live with a stranger. ' But what about school, my friends and Leanne, she's the only one who knows how to help me control my anger.' She knew I was making up excuses not to go. ' You will be going to the school in Forks, Leanne is going to go with you and she's going to stay with you for a couple of weeks while you get settled in. Your father also said that Chester could come with you.
Chester knew you wouldn't want to go alone and Leanne said that it would be better if someone you knew well and trusted went with you and he wanted to go with you.' Damn it! She had thought of everything. ' What about his mum?' She knew I was struggling to find a reason not to go.
She gave me a small smile. 'She said she's fine with it. She wants you to get better you know. She cares about you as well.' I sighed. ' Fine, I'll go to Forks,' I mumbled unwillingly,' When do I leave?' She smiled. ' In a few hours.' IN A FEW HOURS! She could obviously see the shock in my face. 'Well the sooner you leave the better and it needed to be at night so Phil wouldn't catch you. He doesn't know that your leaving and I'm not going
to tell him where you're going.' She stood up and took a suitcase from underneath my bed. ' I already packed for you. We're going to go over to Chesters and his mum is going to take you two to the airport and Leanne will meet you there. The plane leaves at 3 and will arrive in Port Angeles at 11. Charlie's going to pick you up from the airport and drive you back to his house.' I nodded. She walked out of my bedroom saying that she would be right back. I stood up quickly and ran to get the drugs that I had hidden. I stuffed them inside the black jacket I was wearing. She came back and handed me my passport, the plane ticket and a phone. ' I'll call you on this phone to speak to you whenever I can. If I call on your other phone don't answer it okay? It'll probably be Phil and I don't want him to be able to contact you,' she whispered quickly. Soon it was time to go and we quickly walked to Chesters house, where we were meeting him and his mother and after a quiet journey I found myself at the airport saying goodbye to my mother. She was crying, ' I love you so much. Behave yourself and say hello to Charlie for me,' she said while hugging me. I hugged her back and mumbled, ' Love you too and please look after yourself. Tell someone if Phil gets worse, no matter what he threatens you with okay?' She paused briefly and nodded. I turned away and walked to the gate with Leanne and Chester following. I stepped onto the plane and took my seat between Leanne and Chester.
'This is it' I thought as the plane took off. I'm going to my new home.
