Flipside.

Summery – Was this real? Here he stands; eyes burning with care and love. He reached out and caressed my cheek, swiftly – gracefully. "Forever. He will never hurt you again." Edward cooed to me. Little did I know, this stunning creature would pull me back into the darkness, were forever and always don't exist. I watch my father emerge, from the hallway, with his sidekick, 'The paddle'. I couldn't run. My father was edging closer to me and he, was standing there watching; with a smirk on his beautiful face. "Thank you for joining me Edward" My father murmured, hate evident on his face. "My pleasure." Within seconds, I found myself being pulled into the darkness, were love, and pleasure ceased to exist.

A/N – Hey guys. This is my first fanfiction. So many ideas have been roaming my mind for months, on end. Critique is open; so if you see anything that seems weird or doesn't fit in the story, tell me. I will try and update every few days. So make sure to check in. Another thing, I can guarantee you WILL NOT, ever see a chapter slot, filled with an authors note. I hate when people and them as a chapter, versus adding it at the end of a chapter. Unless it is urgent, and I give up on the story you will not see one. :'D

[RECAP: Read the summary, you will know that Bella HAS met Edward, and you should have assumed Edward turned on her. This chapter will explain why.] Warning – Some content may be graphic. This story deals with depression, and hurt. On with the chapter.

Bella's point of view.

Crash. I woke up startled. What the hell was that? I wasn't going to take my chances going downstairs, to look. Charlie was most likely drunk, tossing glass around. Edward was due from his hunting trip soon. Great. Just what I need. [A/N. Back story time] Edwards adoptive father, Carlisle, had been close to Charlie, ever since before my mother walked out on me. During that time period, I was around nine to ten years old. I am now 15 years old. That's when Edward came into the picture. I spilled my heart out on him. I hugged him, I kissed him, I loved him, I depended on him. Then we got into an argument over, my father. I asked him why he was constantly around Carlisle, and that if Carlisle knew about my father, why wouldn't he do anything about it? I snapped, and started yelling. Then Edward slapped me.

Flashback –

"Edward..Can I ask you something?"

"Anything, love." He murmured back, placing gentle kisses on my temple.

"Why..w-why dose Carlisle constantly hang around my father?"

"…That's..none of your concern bella.."

"None of my concern? Is that so?" I snapped. Edward growled.

"Bella…Let it drop."

"NO, I wont let it drop! You bastard, why wont you tell me the truth!" I was loosing it.

That's when my cheek started, to sting. He slapped me. Edward slapped me. By now tears were running down my face, and Edward was pulling me back to the car, with his poker face on."

I shook my head, tears running down my face. I hated Carlisle. He was just as bad as my father. I guess when you have infinite years to live, you have to find something to do. Though, I had no idea why he wanted to engage him self, into becoming an abusive, person.

I looked around the room. It was dark. I was sitting below a little blow up mattress, and to my side, was a little bag filled with cloths. Besides that, Charlie had rid my room from anything else, blankets and lights included. Edward usually came with blankets. For himself, of course. Even though they weren't necessary he liked to tease me with them, as he dose with food, and water.

Food came to me once a day. Sometimes once, every two days. If you could even call it food. It was just leftovers from what Charlie has eaten, through out the day. Water was also limited. I get one bottle every two days. So I have to make it last. If I was ever caught steeling from the pantry, or drinking water out of the water jug, Charlie purchased, then the beatings would be worse.

As for the beatings, Edward is usually in the house, but he never watched, except the horrific night he turned on me. Maybe he is an animal. . [A/N: A little side note. Charlie is well aware of vampires, due to his past relationship with Billy and the wolves. Carlisle, is NOT a doctor. There is no Alice, Emmet, Rosealie, Jasper, ect. Esme, is also absent in this story. Though, both Edward, and Carlisle learned to control their thirst.] He watches me cry myself to sleep every night, but offers me no comfort. Sometimes, he is involved in the beatings, for his own entertainment. Most of the time he just teases me with, necessities I need, or tells me how worthless I am.

Summer was coming to an end. I was entering my second year of high school with Edward. He would most likely make me attend all of the school dances, and other events with him. I shuddered, at the thought.

I herd the window slide open. Quickly, I turned on my side, pretending to be asleep. It didn't work, he had already saw me.

He glared at me. "You. Aren't you supposed to me asleep?"

I looked down, my eyes brimming with tears.

"Get your ass to bed, before I bring your father up here to deal with you. Or better yet I will deal with your scrawny little ass." He growled.

By now, the tears were already visible on my face. I nodded my head and hesitantly laid down, moving to the far corner of my blow up mattress, curling into a tight ball. A dreamless sleep, finally took over.

5:30 AM.

"UP, AND OUT OF BEAD BITCH!" That voice could only be recognized as my father.

I made an attempt to open my eyes, but was struggling. Soon enough, I felt a foot kick me on the left side of my torso.

"NOW!" He was definitely drunk, this morning.

Quickly, I got up and ran downstairs to do my chores. I picked up the list and read it.

1. Dishes.

2. Breakfast.

3. Clean the house. Spotless.

4. Bathroom.

I was glad, that today, my chores were simple. I walked over to do the dishes. There were a lot. He puts them in there on purpose. Fucking ass whole.

I took a plate from the top of the pile and started scrubbing it. There was a bunch of dried out cheese on it. Ew. Why wont this shit come off? Getting frustrated, I took the soap, poured it onto the dish, and slammed it next to the faucet. Bad move. Ohh..shit. One of the bigger glass plates came crashing down, followed by some other glass items. I jumped out of the way avoiding the glass. At least 7 of Charlie's 'nice' plates were broken.

Charlie and Edward came, from around the corner.

"What the fuck was that Isabella!" Charlie sounded infuriated.

"I-I- Uhh..Plates fell..Char-sir. I'm sorry.." Fear was probably the dominant emotion covering my face.

"Ohhh.." Charlie murmured in mock understanding. "Come here…"

I shook my head.

"No..No, no. Here. Now."

I hesitated, but walked over.

"..Aww, are you scared?"

I began shaking. He was pissed. I looked over at Edward. A small part of me thinking, maybe he would save me from my father's fury. He just smirked.

Charlie threw me into a wall, walked over and started kicking me, in every place possible.

I started whimpering, as he took his belt off and started slapping me with it.

"Clean this up! And, for this, I will be telling were you will be sleeping these next to days!"

I got myself up off the floor, and cleaned up my blood mess. Once I was done, I walked over to the bathroom to see what the results were. There was still blood running down my body, as I took my shirt off and replaced it with another. Carefully, I wet a piece of toilet paper, and wiped it over the blood stained spots.

I walked into the living room to face Edward and Charlie. What did Charlie mean by "I will be telling were you will be sleeping these next to days"? Slowly I rounded the corner that led into the living room.

[A/N: Haha, a cliffhanger. –Smirks evilly. It happens to me all the time. So, how was that? I know how I want to end this. I really wanna get there. I just need to find more stuff to put into the middle. I have some things planned. So tell me, is this something that sounds interesting to you? I know the back story with Carlisle made no sense really, but its hard to explain how he ended up all buddy buddy with Charlie. He wont be in the story much. He is just what led up to Edwards presents :)

Thanks for reading the first chapter. I will try and make it more interesting next time.
