Chapter two
BPOV
The thumping from Charlie's feet grew louder and louder and I knew there was no use in running he would see me and that would just piss him off more. I quickly sat up and hugged my knees awaiting Charlie's arrival in the kitchen. About three seconds later Charlie came bustling in reeking of alcohol with a beer in one hand and walking a tad crookedly. He looked over the entire kitchen which took a while but then his eyes fell on me and I'm sure he could hear my gulp even from so far away. I was about to enter one of the worst parts of hell here on Earth there was.
"BELLA! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING DOWN HERE AT THIS HOUR?" Charlie screamed so loud I was sure the whole street could hear.
"I…I…I was getting some water….I was th….thirsty." I whimpered I almost couldn't speak I was so scared.
"BELLA SWAN YOU ARE LYING TO ME I CAN FEEL IT!" Charlie accused me.
He had caught me, what was I supposed to do now? Somehow even though he was so drunk, I don't know how he was still conscious, he knew I was lying. I was so scared; tears were falling down my face making my face turn red and my knees soaked where my head was resting. I didn't know wat to say so I sat there on the kitchen floor and cried. I heard more footsteps and I thought to myself please don't be Emmett please! It was, naturally. I tried to motion with for him with my hand to go back upstairs I didn't want him to get in trouble again. Even though he was a pain in the ass I couldn't let him do this for me.
"Charlie stop yelling at Bella." Emmett tried to say in the nicest way to Charlie.
"I WILL DO NO SUCH THING! AND YOU WOULD DO BETTER TO KEEP YOUR SORRY LITTLE ASS OUTTA THIS!"
"NO! YOU HAVE PUNISHED HER ENOUGH FOR SHIT THAT WAS INNOCENT AND STUPID!" Emmett fumed.
Everything happened so fast I didn't know what was going on. Emmett had knocked Charlie over and was hitting him repeatedly anywhere his hands found. But then Rebecca had to come down the stairs I knew that would just make Emmett even more mad. Rebecca screamed and tried to pull Charlie out from under Emmett. I got up and started trying to pull Emmett off of Charlie though I didn't want to I was just trying to save Emmett. Rebecca pulled Charlie off to their room upset at him only because he was the one getting beat up. That didn't surprise me though. What freaked me out was that she could pull him around. I turned to face Emmett and saw he had his share of blood from that mini fight.
"Emmett, why did you do that?" I sighed.
"Because Bells, he can't keep doing this to you! And I care too much to just let it happen!" Emmett confessed.
"Whoa! Hold on what happened to my annoying always teasing me big brother?" I asked stunned.
"Bella, I tease you, yea, its my job I'm the big brother. But I'm not going to sit here while Charlie is being a f…an effin bitch!" Emmett said.
"You have to! I don't care what the hell happens to Charlie or Rebecca or me. I just don't want him to hurt you. You're the only 'true' family I've got right now!" I cried.
"Well I wont sit here and watch this shit. You to have to get away!" Emmett said again.
"NO! EMMETT I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU!" I yelled not caring who heard me.
"Bells your tired and overwhelmed just go to bed, but this talk isn't over." Emmett said as he walked back upstairs not looking back at me.
I walked upstairs not knowing what was coming in the next few days but I was too distracted to really think about it. I went upstairs and slept till morning. It was a restless sleep, full of nightmares and a whole bunch of tossing and turning. But morning came just like every other day. Reminding me of reality and that it wasn't so much better than the nightmares. Then I got dressed and went downstairs, Emmett was still sleeping and so was Rebecca. "Great" I thought to myself. Charlie is up...what am I going to do?
"Bella?" Charlie called.
"Uh, yea Charlie?" I said back.
"Come here!"
"Coming…"
I walked into the room where he was but i didn't see him there so I turned around to leave but there he was closing the door looking as though he were ready to kill! I suddenly remembered yesterday and I instantly couldn't breathe! 'Oh No!' I thought! He walked over to me and looked down shaking his head repeating my name over and over. 'Shit,' I thought ',what am I going to do?' I looked up at Charlie and gulped.
