Chapter 2 =D

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight


Bella stared at her untouched lunch. Around her, 'friends' laughed and ignored her completely. Jessica was still snubbing her. Bella could care less. She got up and dumped her lunch—she wasn't hungry anyway. The bell rang and she headed off to History. The teacher announced they would be doing a benchmark today and Bella thanked whatever god was out there. She didn't feel like participating in discussion today, not that she usually did, but not today.

There was a tap on her shoulder and Bella turned around. Mike smiled at her. "I called last night."

"I was feeling well. Sorry. Did you want something?"

Mike shifted in his seat. From the frown that replaced his smile, Bella could tell that he was expecting her to at least pretend she was happy that he called. "Um…we were going to go to La Push this weekend and I wanted to invite you."

Bella turned back around to take the test from the person in front of her. "You, as in no one else wanted to invite me?" She passed Mike the test.

Mike took the stack and retrieved one from the top. "It's not that they didn't want to it's just no one knows how to approach you anymore since the Cullens left." He passed the stack behind him to Angelina's waiting hand.

Bella looked away from him and rubbed her forehead. She didn't want to remember them. "I'm busy." Her excuse wasn't true in the least. She actually had nothing planned for the weekend but La Push meant Jacob. He was starting to grow on her but she didn't want to see him.

"But Bella—"

"Begin!" The teacher cut off Mike. Bella heaved a sigh of relief and started the benchmark.

The rest of the school day went by without any further questions regarding La Push from Mike. Bella walked across the lot to her truck and climbed in. She looked at the hole in her dash where the radio had been. It was a present from the Cullens and in her anger she tore it out with her bare hands. She drove home in silence and parked along the street at there was another car, four actually, in the driveway. She recognized two to be Charlie's cruiser and Billy Black's truck. The third was a sleek black Mercedes. And the last was, strangely enough, and ambulance. There were three men, all in doctor's attire, standing outside of it.

When she walked into the house she got the feeling she had walked in on a very important conversation. Charlie was standing in the middle of the room talking with a man that Bella didn't recognize. Jacob was seated on the corner of the couch listening with his father, Billy. All eyes turned to Bella. None of them were obviously expecting to see her. Charlie spoke first.

"Bells. You're home early."

Bella eyed them warily. "I'm off today. What's going on?" She slid her backpack off her shoulder and crossed her arms over her chest.

Charlie ran a hand through his hair. "Of course. Bella this is Mr. Pike. He wants to speak with you."

The older man walked over the Bella and smiled at her. "I've heard a lot about you Isabella. Come. Let us talk." He guided her over to the couch and sat down. Bella looked again at Charlie, Billy, and Jacob before sitting. She heard Charlie sigh again and take a seat in his recliner.

"Bella how are you?"

"I'm fine. I don't mean to be rude but is there a reason you're asking?"

Mr. Pike studies her. "Your parents and friends" He indicated Billy and Jacob, "tell be you've been rather…distant as of late. Is that correct?"

"What?" Bella was getting more suspicious by the second. "Dad—"

"Did you love him, Isabella? Is Edward Cullen the reason you're so detached?"

Bella stared at Mr. Pike. "Excuse me? Don't you dare speak to me about him." She felt unwanted tears sting her eyes. She stood and tried to move away from him but her path was blocked my Jacob's oversized form.

"About who, Isabella?" Mr. Pike pressed.

"Jacob, move."

"I can't do that Bella. You're hurting yourself. We're here to help you."

The tear slipped passed their barrier and down her cheeks. "Hurting—?"

Jacob grabbed her wrist, the same wrist that James had sunk his teeth into and lifted it so everyone could see the scars. Bella snatched her arm back and stared at him in disbelief. "Jacob, you know what happened."

"Mr. Black tells me you've convinced yourself that vampires and werewolves actually exit. Now tell me Isabella, that mark on your arm, would that be a werewolf or a vampire bite?" Mr. Pike spoke as if speaking to a small child who just told him she believed in fairies.

Bella backed away from Jacob and Billy. "How could you?"

Jacob ignored her and spoke confidently. "She did it to herself. I was with her. After the Cullens left, after Edward left, she went crazy. She bit her own arm, sir."

Mr. Pike stood. "I see." He turned to Charlie. "We can have her at the institute by tomorrow. If she doesn't comply we can take her by force with your permission."

"Institute? What institute?" Bella definitely did not like the direction this was going.

Billy handed her a pamphlet. Bella looked at it and them at Charlie. "An asylum. You think that need to be in an asylum?"

"You're mother and I think it's the best option." Charlie blurted out.

"Mom isn't even here! She doesn't know anything! I'm not going. You can't make me go." She threw the pamphlet down and tried to get around Jacob.

"Bella, please!"

She whipped around and looked at Charlie through her tears "I'm not crazy!"

Mr. Pike looked expectantly at Charlie. "With your permission Mr. Swan."

Charlie turned away and nodded. Mr. Pike took a walkie-talkie that was lying on the coffee table and muttered into it. The three doctors that Bella had walked by were suddenly in the house. Bella, having no other option, jumped over the couch and tries to make a run for the stairs.

After that, everything happened very fast. Bella struggles against the doctors' hold but they were too strong for her. The wrestled her to the ground when she tried to make another escape out the door.

"Let go of me! I'm not crazy! Daddy!!" Bella continues to kick and scream but none of it was going her any good.

"Hold her down!" One of the doctors shouted.

She felt one doctor hold her body down with his while the other held down her arm. Bella's stomach dropped when she saw the needle filled with a clear liquid nearing her arm.

"No! Let me go!" She tried to get up once more but it was too late. The needle was inserted into her arm and Bella started to feel a bit lightheaded. The last image she saw was of Charlie holding his head, crying, and then all faded to black.
