Chapter Two: Fateful Day

Today was going to be either hell, like every other day, or it was just going to go by without anything happening (which almost never happens but a girl can dream right?) and I feel like something was going to happen to change things in my life. I don't know why but I just could. Like the first day I saw THEM about a year ago, before Charlie pushed me down the stairs.

FLASHBACK

Amy and I walk into the cafeteria and as we walked to our usual table, we saw at the table two away from ours that is normally empty, we saw five of the most beautiful and perfect looking people I have ever seen.

"Amy, do you know who they are?" I asked

Nodding her head Amy answered "Yea they are the new students here; they are Dr. Cullen and his wife's foster kids. They are all together with each other. The Blonde female and the BIG guy with the curly brown-black hair are going out; the short spiky black haired girl and the guy with the sandy blonde hair are going out. The blonde girl and the sandy haired guy are twins as far as I know. I don't know their names, apart from the guy with the reddish brown hair. That's Edward Cullen."

We took our seats and ate in silence; I couldn't stop myself from staring at them. Amy had her back to them in her normal seat, so when she wasn't looking at me I was staring at the Cullen's. I only glanced at the others for my eyes were glued on Edward and he looked up to me and our eyes locked and I felt my cheeks go red with the blush that I knew I had. He just looked like he was searching and concentrating really hard on something and not finding what he was looking for, so he just looked back to the table.

END FLASHBACK

At school as we walked into the cafeteria, Tanya, Jess and Lauren walked up to us as soon as we were inside. Tanya was tall with strawberry blonde hair that hung down to her waist. She wore a mini skirt that was barely covering her butt and her top was so low cut I'm surprised it was allowed to be worn at school. Her outfit was strategically planned to accentuate all of her curves. She always gets what she wants by any means that she can think of.

She marched right up to us and said "Don't even think about going anywhere near Edward Cullen today I have my eyes set on him so don't even bother to even look at him. You would more than likely just burn his eyes out with your ugliness and bore him to death." She turned and walked over to the others laughing.

Amy and I just looked at each other before Amy shouted to Tanya. "Well Tanya that would be KINDA hard if teachers ask us to talk to him or something like that. And unlike you we're not rude enough to ignore someone just because you tell us to, you half-brained blonde idiot." And with that we just turned and walked over to our table giggling, I stopped as soon as I started though because it hurt to laugh. As I sat down, on top of my normal back pain, a sharp pain shoots through my right side and I sucked in a sharp breath as I wince and clutch my right side. Amy turned to look at me worriedly and was sitting next to me in a second.

"What's wrong?? Oh my god! What did he do to you this time? Why don't you do something about this?" She berated me with worry and sadness written on face and in her voice with a little hint of anger. She was holding both my arms which made me wince even more and she looked at her hands and then back at my face with tears in her eyes and she let go of my arms very quickly and looked down at the table "I am s-s-so s-s-sorry Bells, I d-d-didn't know that your arms were hurt too. But please tell me what happened, you know you can trust me with anything."

I sighed and took a deep and shaky breath "It was my fault, I really should have been paying more attention to the time, but I was doing my homework in my room and I didn't have much left to do so I thought that I had plenty of time before Charlie got home to finish it. But I was wrong and I didn't have dinner ready in time for Charlie when he got home and he came up the stairs and grabbed me from behind. He punched me for a bit but then got a hold of my ear and dragged me back down the stairs and pushed me into the counter in the kitchen. It's nothing really, just bruises." As I finished I made to reach the bottle of water I had, but winced again when I lifted my arm up.

Oh god I hope Amy didn't see that

But no such luck because Amy's face was full of worry, sadness and something else when she looked over at me again.

"Oh my god! We have soooo got to get to the hospital or something!!" She said while trying to find a place to hug me, but couldn't.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!" I shouted and everyone in the cafeteria looked at us, I noticed the Cullen's sitting at their table, two away from ours again. The one with odd reddish brown hair was looking at me with a slightly shocked look on his face but then he, along with the others, looked away quickly, but he still had a weird expression on his face almost like he was really concentrating on something. Amy grabbed my hand gently and led me to the girls' bathroom, the whole way I was limping and had a feeling like I was being watched, I looked back once over my shoulder to see a pair of gold topaz eyes meet mine. After making sure no one was in there, she turned to me and said

"Look Bells, it's not going to take long before someone notices that you always wear winter clothes no matter what the season is and you can't keep doing this and protecting him, your better than this and I....... and I.... d-don't w-want to lose my best friend. You're more like a sister to me. PLEASE YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF OR I AM GOING TO DO SOMETHING FOR YOU!!"

I was shocked I have never seen Amy this angry about anything EVER. "I-I-it's ok Amy you d-don't have to w-worry about m-me, I'll b-be f-fine!!!" I sobbed to her and gave a very small smile.

The bell went then and it was off to biology, one of the only subject I liked and also one of the only classes without Amy and I think that it was good to not have to sit next to her with her worrying looks at the moment I just don't think I could handle it. When I was at the door about to walk in, Mike came up behind me and grabbed my butt, I don't know why I did (maybe my instincts were finally kicking in) but for some reason I turned to tell him off and I regretted it straight away.

The pain in my right side shoot up and down that whole side of my body and I clearly heard a popping sound followed by more pain and I could hardly breathe, I grabbed the right side of my rib cage and doubled over in pain while Mike was trying to say he was sorry, trying not to laugh while he did. He helped me up by grabbing my arm only to hurt me more as he held tightly to the tender area. With tears in my eyes I started to push away as best as I could until out of nowhere Mike was gone and his hand was replaced by a very soft, gentle and Ice cold hand, which was very soothing and calming. Even though I had thick long sleeves on to cover the bruises up I could still feel the coolness of the hand, and as I looked up in shock with tears running down my cheek I saw the most beautiful person I have ever seen with the most interesting golden butterscotch topaz eyes that I felt like I could look into forever and in a voice that was like music but as smooth as velvet say.

"Are you alright? Do you need me to take you to the nurse?"

"N-n-no I'll....b-b-be alright......I j-just want.....t-to sit down at.....my d-desk" I said back to him in between taking in short quick breaths. He helped me to my seat and seeing as he was my lab partner he sat down next to me. Even though we sat next to each other every day this was the first time that he'd ever spoken to me. His first day all he did was glare at me so I thought he hated me, even though he didn't even know me.

FLASHBACK

I walked into Biology and over to my table, I was the only one that didn't have a partner but I didn't mind, once I had my things out and was doodling on my notebook when I heard the teacher talking to someone. I look up to see that Edward Cullen walking up to my table, there were no other seats available in the class so he had no choice.

When he sat down I went to introduce myself but saw that he was sitting as far away from me as the table allowed and had his hand over his mouth and nose like he could smell a foul smell, I turned my head and smelled my hair that fell over my shoulder but all I could smell was my favourite strawberry shampoo. When I looked back he was glaring at me with eyes that were darker than the darkest black and filled with so much hatred and another emotion that I didn't understand nor could I even pick what Emotion it was.

As soon as the bell went, he was out of the class room impossibly fast before anyone had a chance to even start to pack their things up.

END FLASHBACK

"I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself before now. I'm Edward Cullen. I'm sorry for Mike Newton's behaviour; I hope he didn't hurt you?" He said while trying to look me in the eyes, but I kept my head down. Partly to try and hide my tears that annoyingly didn't want to stop and partly because I didn't know if I could look at him without being dazzled, so I answered him while looking down at the desk.

"I'm Isabella swan, but I prefer to be called Bella. And n-no he didn't h-hurt me really. You see I f-f-fall down a lot and I tripped really badly last night and I am really rather sore from it that's all. B-b-but thanks for your concern and your help for pulling him off me." I smiled at him as I had looked up while I finished my sentence.

Right then Tanya, Jess and Lauren walked into the room and saw that I was talking to Edward and Tanya almost screamed at me while pointing her index finger in my face.

"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU NOT TO TALK TO HIM YOU LITTLE BITCH!!!" Then she slapped me across my face. All I could do was look at her in shock and tears started to fall down my cheeks again, next thing I heard brought more tears to roll down the sides of my face.

"What did you do that for Tanya? There was no need to do that. I have already told you I have no interest in you and I would very much like it if you would leave me and those I consider my friends ALONE please." Edward said politely but very sternly, with a tone of authority to it.

Wow I couldn't believe he stood up for me, why would he do that? He only just met me! I started to hyperventilate and that only made my ribs hurt more.

I looked up in time to see Tanya's face as she walked away, I wish I had a camera and took a photo of it. The look of shock, rejection and disgusted anger was classic to say the least. I managed to choke out a small laugh but stopped and winced because it caused me pain and Tanya heard it and muttered darkly "You'll pay, you worthless little bitch."

This just made me more upset. I was sobbing and that caused me more pain yet again as well as making me wince, which I am sure that Edward, noticed because he put a very gentle arm around my shoulder and looked at me. He seemed to be looking for something for he surprised me with.

"I could take you to see my father? He is a doctor and he can look you over and then you wouldn't have to go to the hospital, I can drop you off at home after if you like?" He asked me so sincerely and sweetly that I couldn't help but look up and be met with his strange, yet beautiful, coloured eyes.

I have never in my life been spoken to so nicely, like I mattered and like I was worth something, like this ever by anyone other than Amy and my grandmother before she died, he shouldn't be worried about me. I'm not worth it; I'm just plain and broken Bella. I definitely am not worth having this beautifully handsome, sweet and gentlemanly boy being so nice to me.

More tears began to fall down my cheeks. Oh god why was I crying? AT SCHOOL no less. Why was I reacting like this? I put my head in my hands to try and cover my face and the fact that I was crying, I didn't want him to see me like this (I didn't want anyone to see me like this, not even Amy) I just hope I covered the bruise on my neck well enough today.

I heard a sharp intake of breath and the next thing I knew, Edward's cool and perfectly smooth hand was under my chin gently lifting my head up to look at him, he had such a strange emotion on his face, it almost looked sad? And then he brought his other hand up and they were on either side of my face and wiping the tears from my cheeks, he then moved one away to gently place it around my shoulders and he put his other arm up and addressed the teacher.

"Excuse me Mr. Meynell, but I think Bella here needs to go to the nurse's office so I'm going to take her there, if that's alright?" Everyone in the class turned and looked at us and I turned into Edward's chest to hide the blush that was creeping up my face.

"Yes sure Mr. Cullen. Feel better Miss. Swan" Mr. Meynell said to us as we left the room. Edward placed a hand around my waist very carefully as he pulled me towards the office and I looked up at him in horror. Oh no Charlie was so going to find out about this. Edward looked down at me and smiled a crooked grin that took my breath away and made me blink. "Why are you taking me to the office? Please don't! I don't need to, I'm alright really" I asked and pleaded with him.

"It's alright Bella, I already figured out that you didn't want anyone to know how bad you really are so I'm just going to get you excused from school for the rest of the day so I can take you to my father who can look at you, that way no one else would know what really was wrong but me, you and my father." He said back to me while rubbing soothing circles with his thumb on my left cheek and I was instantly calm. I just smiled back and tucked my head into his chest again to hide another blush. Man what was my body doing, it's embarrassing. Don't get me wrong I liked being in Edward's arms for some strange reason and it was almost like I was meant to be there for I just fit so perfectly to the shape of his hard cold body.

We walked into the office. Mrs. Cook looked up from whatever she was doing and looked at Edward and me, with a really weird look in her eyes but she quickly composed herself.

"How can I help you?" She asked.

"Bella here is not feeling well so I thought I'd take her home and get my father to look at her, she doesn't wish to see the nurse. You think you could excuse her for the rest of the day and maybe tomorrow as well?" Edward told her. Wow how can he do that! All I could do was just stand there and stare in amazement while still panting through clenched teeth and clutching my right side, which hurt even more with every breath I took.

Mrs. Cook said we were excused and we headed out to the parking lot to a silver Volvo. He started opening the passenger door for me and was about to help me into the car when I came to my senses.

"Hey! What about my car?? I can drive myself you know?" I angrily said to him.

"I'll have one of my siblings to bring it to your place, if you give me the key? It's going to be alright Bella. You do not need to worry. Everything is going to be alright" He said gently and softly while he rubbed soothing circles into my back, it helps a little and with that he helps me into his car very carefully but I still winced in pain. He said sorry and I told him it wasn't his fault. I bit my lip while he drove to his house, I'm guessing, and then I looked over at the speedometer. WHAT THE? Man how fast does he want to drive!

"WHOW SLOW DOWN WOULD YOU?" I screamed but my ribs protested and I ended up gasping in pain and I really couldn't breathe now, so I was panting while trying to catch my breath.

"Calm down Bella we are almost there, just try and calm down please you're not helping yourself out by panicking over my driving. Besides I really want to get you to my father quickly because I really don't like how you're breathing sounds" He said placing a hand on my shoulder gently.

My jaw drops as we pull up to a wonderful and HUGE white house, it has three stories and the porch was one that wrapped all the way around and there was at least one balcony that I could see on the third floor. He parks the car as close to the house as he could and really quickly, almost inhumanly quick, opens my door and carries me into the house bridal-style. Sitting down on one of the three white double couches was sitting two very beautiful people, they had the same completion as Edward but they were also so different.

They looked up at us in shock as we walked in and I saw that the woman had a heart shaped face and Caramel coloured wavy hair and the man I recognised as Dr. Cullen, but they had the same odd eye colour as Edward does. Dr. Cullen stepped forward, with a thoughtful expression on his face looking straight at Edward.

"Son, why did you bring Miss. Swan home and what happened to her?" He asked.

Wow Dr. Cullen has a really good memory from the one and only time I had ever gone to the hospital I thought.

"Dad, Bella seems to have sustained some injuries from a fall but when I asked if she wanted me to take her to the hospital, she completely freaked out and I didn't want to stress her too much when there was clearly something VERY wrong. I also, for some reason, didn't want to let her out of my sight, so I brought her here to you and she agreed." Edward explained to his father.

I tried to wave like there was nothing wrong as bad as Edward made it out to be but that was not a smart move because I winced and cried out in pain, concern was splashed across Edward's and his dad's face as he rushed to inspect what was wrong with me, he instructed to Edward to place me on the couch but Edward pointed out that the couches were not that big and the couch in his room was bigger. So Edward, careful not to jolt me too much, walked up the stairs to his room on the third floor and when I looked around I was shocked, the room was gorgeous. One wall was shelf after shelf after shelf of CD's and books next to it was a very complicated stereo system and a big flat screen TV but on the other side of the room was just a wall of glass and at the back wall was big double glass doors that open up to a small balcony, that had two deck chairs and a small table. To one corner of the room there was a doorway and from what I could see there was a beautiful white grand piano sitting in the room.

Edward placed me down gingerly and gently, It barely felt like he was moving at all and Edward's Dad came over with a black doctors bag in one hand and knelt down by my side "Hello again Bella. Can I lift up your shirt, to take a better look at your side please?" I bit my bottom lip, would they see that my injuries were far worse than from just a simple fall? Would they tell my dad? Could I trust them and tell them what's been happening to me? Does Dr. Cullen think something is up with me from when he treated my back?

For some strange reason I felt like I wanted to tell Edward and his father everything, they were just so nice to me and I just can't help but think that I could trust them and that they would help me, but could I really trust that feeling?

"Really I am alright it's just that I am really clumsy and I took a bad fall, not like the bad fall I had about a year ago, don't know if you remember that Dr. Cullen, but my dad took a look and he said it was ok and that it was just bruised." I said in a vain attempted to stop them from finding out, even though it made me feel guilty for lying to them for some reason, but Dr. Cullen just insisted.

"Bella, please you can call me Carlisle. And I really do need to take a look for your breathing really isn't sounding good." He smiled and I started to panic when Edward, who was sitting on the arm of the couch above my head, smiled down at me. "It's ok Bella, Carlisle just wants to make sure you have nothing broken, that's all!" He said.

So I gave in. "o-o-ok........t-t-then" I said trying to catch my breath.

I tried to sit up but I winced and my breathing caught in my throat, Edward placed both his hands behind my shoulders to help me sit up and I was momentarily distracted as an electric current ran down my spine warming it up as it went, I was pulled back out of my thoughts by Carlisle asking if it was alright to take my top off again so I complied and I tried to lift my top up but it hurt too much and cried out in pain. Carlisle's expert hands were on me in a flash. They were just as cold as Edward's was.

"Where does it hurt Bella?"

"H-h-here..." I pointed to the right side of my rib cage in between pants "and.....my....b-b-back, b-b-but......that's.....b-b-been like.....t-t-that s-s-since....my f-f-fall.......last y-y-year...." I managed to choke out. "Please.....don't.....c-c-call C-Char-m-my d-d-dad!!" I said before I passed out from the pain.
