Diclaimer- I do not own twilight or any of the characters! The lovely Stephanie Meyer does (:

Chapter 2:

I walked down the stairs into the kitchen passing a bunch of family pictures on the walls. I sighed as I looked at them, I used to be so happy. Don't you wish that sometimes you could see the future, I know I do, pushing my thoughts aside I walked into the kitchen where my mom was now cooking breakfast. She smiled at me as I walked in the door and motioned for me to come eat.

"No thanks mom, I'm good with an apple," I said as I picked up a sour green apple.

"Alice you need to eat more than that, we are going to be on the road for a couple of hours," she said, frowning.

"I know, ma! Don't worry if I get hungry there are plenty of McDonalds on the way," I replied.

"You're too thin, baby girl. I wished you would eat more…..." She said, shaking her head.

I sighed, already hating how this morning was turning out. I turned around, walking back to my room planning to stay there until my parents were ready. Lying down on my bed trying to clear my mind off of everything and anything, my eyes caught sight of my phone on my bedside table.

"Shit." I cursed out loud, quickly grabbing my phone to make sure there weren't any missed calls or messages from James. I swear I stopped breathing when I saw 12 missed calls, 3 new voicemails, and 25 unread text messages from him. I decided to listen to the voicemails first…

"Why the fuck aren't you answering my damn calls, huh, Alice? If you don't call me back soon, you're going to be sorry"

" Pick up the damn phone! Are you cheating on me? You better call me back! Alice! So help me if you don't call back…"

"ALICE! Are you ignoring me? PICK up your phone, NOW! You're pissing me off and you know what happens when you piss me off? I think you doo…call me back bitch"

Shivering, I deleted all the voicemails and scrolled through the texts that pretty much said the same thing. I didn't want to call him back but if I didn't he's going to be madder than usual when I see him. Biting my lips, I was debating whether or not to call him or just text him or ignore him all together, when my dad knocked on my door.

"Alice, you ready sweetie," He said, as he cracked open the door and stuck his head in the room.

"Yup," I replied, grabbing my stuff. My dad rushed over and grabbed my bags with my things in it, while I quickly turned my phone off stuffing it in my purse. Following him down the stairs into the garage, I hopped into the car pushing James into the back of my head and got comfy.

I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew my mother was calling my name trying to wake me up.

"Alice, Ali baby, Aliceeeee, wake up, sweetie" She cooed.

Groaning, I opened my eyes and saw she was looking at me from the front seat.

"Sweetie, we are at the gas station, lets go to the bathroom, okay?" She said.

"Kay," was my brilliant response. Getting out of the car I walked into the gas station and finished my business. Soon after we were back on the road, and I was bored out of my mind, Hesitantly, I reached for my bag and turned my phone back on; praying James didn't leave me any messages. I held my breath when I saw two unread messages. Quickly opening the messages, I let out a breath of relief when I saw they were from my brothers and not James.

Emmy Bear- Short stuff! Ya miss me yet…DUH! Of course you do I mean who wouldn't ;) Don't worry you get to see me soon! Can't wait till your up here! See ya soon, baby sis! Love you.

Smiling just a little at my goofy brother, I quickly replied. Hi Emmett. Miss you. See you. Love you. I quickly replied.

His response came quickly: What no smiley face? :O

:) –I typed back.

Edward- Hey Ali, Miss you! Can't wait to see you! Have a safe trip, see you soon. I love you! Tell mom and dad I said hey.

Hi Eddy, I miss you 2. Same here and thanks. Ily2. Kay. I texted back.

What's wrong? And don't call me Eddy. Edward texted back, making me smile as he expressed his hate for the name Eddy.

Nothing tired. – I texted back.

Quickly turning my phone back off, so my brothers wouldn't question me on my bizarre mood, gosh… if they only know. If they only knew their baby sister was being abused, if only they knew she didn't want to live anymore. Shaking my head, I lay back down on the seat watching my parents holding hands in the front, quietly whispering, they were madly in love, and I yearned for that kind of love. I wanted James to be like that instead of the monster he actually is. Tears sprung in my eyes as I thought about everything that changed in the past year. Willing myself not to cry I tried to think of happy thoughts, where there was no James and everything was how it used to be.

Thirty minutes later, I started drawing in my sketch pad. Drawing seemed to take me to a whole different place. I drew what I wanted, happy things, sad things, bad things, good things, random things. I liked to tell a story through my drawings. Drawing is my escape from the world. I just finished my sketch when we pulled into my brother's apartment complex that they share. Putting my things away, I gave myself a little pep talk. I needed to act like everything was okay; I couldn't have my brothers questioning me.

I prayed that this weekend I could forget about James and just pretend to be happy for my family. But how do you forget about the one who ruined your life, the one who controls your life, the one who stole the old you?

….You can't.
