Chapter 2
When I woke up, I was in my father's lap. I looked up at him and saw him looking down at me and brushing my hair with his hand. Then I had a light pressure on my head and I saw Carlisle standing over me.
"Does it still hurt?" Carlisle asked.
"A little" I said sitting up. I closed my eyes to regain control of everything. My head was spinning and I felt light headed and then I opened my eyes cautiously and then my father came to me and said "Honey why didn't you tell me you were being bullied?" I looked at him and said "Dad, up till today it was always behind my back and never physical and I didn't pay attention to them but today…they…" I didn't even finish the sentence "and look" I went to grab my cell and showed him the text. He grew furious. He stood up and said "Those no good son of-" Carlisle stopped him "Bullies" he said looking at Edward with a face that said are-you-of-your-mind?!-Cursing-in-my-house face. "Right, that" I said slumping back to the couch.
I looked around and said "Carlisle what time is it?"
"About five, you missed most of the day and…I don't think you can go to school tomorrow either"
I looked at him and said "What?! Why?! Carlisle I haven't missed a single day of school since I started!!!"
"Relax Nessie, it's only one day. And I don't think you can walk…"
"Of course I can…look" I stood up and then took a few steps and I felt a pain shot up my leg and I fell to the floor but my dad caught me and helped me to the couch.
"I thought so…it's broken" Carlisle said.
"Wait, BROKEN!" I said in shock.
"Yes at first I thought it was just bruised but then while you slept I took an x-ray and it was broken"
"So I have to put it in a cast but only for a few days"
I looked at him suspiciously. "How long is a few days" I said putting emphasis on a few days.
They looked at each other and then at me like the knew I would flip "just…a week"
"WHAT?!" I said.
"Nessie calm down. It's not that big of a deal"
"And well, remember when I said you had to stay home only tomorrow. Well I actually meant all week"
"Carlisle, do you know how much work I'll have to make up?"
"Don't worry I went to your school to get your make up work and it's not that much really, you would probably be able to finish it tonight" Carlisle said in a soothing voice.
"But why can't I just go to school?"
"Because your school has no elevator and I can't risk you falling" my father said to me.
I sighed knowing I wouldn't win this. "You absolutely correct-your not going to win this argument" my dad said with a smile on his face. I gave him a smile and he hugged me. Then Carlisle rapped my leg in a cast with pink tape. Then I tried using crutches and I finally got the hag of it but my dad carried me down the stairs. I sat on the couch and did the work that I would be missing and Carlisle was right. I finished it by seven and just as I was putting my notebook into my book bag my mom walked in.
"Oh honey, she came over. I'm sorry I couldn't be home faster, I got caught up at your Grandpa Charlie's house." She said hugging me.
"It's ok mom. I'm fine." She smiled at me. "I bet you are, you're a strong little girl." After that my mom went upstairs to read and my dad and Carlisle were watching the news. I decided to write in my diary.
Dear Dairy,
Well Carlisle fixed my leg and my father wants to rip Jennette and her friends head off. I don't know if I should be happy or worried. If they ever met my dad they would NEVER bother anybody ever again. I think the only thing stopping him from ripping there heads off is Carlisle and my mother. Carlisle told me that I couldn't go to school for a whole week. I have never missed one day of school now I have to miss A WEEK!!! I don't really like school but this has probably already been spread around school. What will people think when I don't show up for a whole week? And Carlisle and my father are going to the school tomorrow to give the principle the evidence that Jennette's posy was bullying me. But I am thankful they are going to be doing something. I hope they get suspended but I don't know what rumors they will pass if they go back to school. Do I really want to be known as the tattle-tail of the school? Well I guess it's worth it. I mean it might be humiliating but I've gone through more humiliating things. Like getting spanked by my dad and not my mom. I mean it is a little uncomfortable getting hit by your dad with your butt showing. My father told me that Alice and Jasper were staying home with me tomorrow while he and Carlisle went to the school but Alice volunteered to stay the whole week and since jasper almost never leaves Alice's side he is staying as well. I was thankful that it was Jasper and not Grandpa Charlie. He would be hovering over me the whole time. My dad says that I got the hovering thing from my mom. Jacob sadly has school but he drew a heart on my pick cast and wrote a "J" in it. My dad wasn't that happy with it but oh well. They never did get along but it's not that bad. And for once my father and Jacob both agree on something: Killing the Jennette posy. I wish they would agree on something else but it's a start. And then she must really have the guts to say text message me. I'm going to laugh if the principle asks her for her cell and sees the message. Well Alice and Jasper just came home so I have to go. Bye.

Nessie
"Hey sweetheart, how are you feeling?" Uncle Jasper asked as he sat on the couch next to me and then Uncle Em came and said "Yeah we heard what about that b****" he said. And then they both kissed me on the cheek and hugged me.
"Guys don't horse play with her" Aunt Rose and Alice said in unison. "Carlisle said she can't do any of that till the cast comes off so…" Rosalie said and Alice continued "No wrestling with her"
"Yes Dear, I love you" Uncle Jasper and Em said together. I giggled at that. I liked the way they did that. Then I felt my phone vibrate and saw it saw one new text message and I opened it. It was from Jennette:
Listen you little bitch. I don't care how much I hurt you, you better not squeal on us!!! I will personally break your arm if you do. And if I hear any rumors around the school I will slap bitch slap you and the video we took-hello internet. So if you know what's good for you you'll shut up!!!
Uncle Jasper saw tears in my eyes and said "Nessie what's wrong?" I handed him the phone and turned to Uncle Em and cried into his shirt.
He brushed his hand through my hair and he said "Shhh…Nessie. What is it?"
"Take a look" Jasper said and handed him the phone. Emmett got it with his other hand and then yelled, his booming voice echoing off the house "GUYS GET DOWN HERE!!!" Within a second Carlisle, Esme, Aunt Alice and Rose and my parents were here.
"Honey what happened?" my mom said. Jasper got up so she could sit down.
"Jennette is black mailing me" I cried. Fresh tears came down my cheek. They gathered around the phone and saw the text message. My dad come over to me and knelt down on one knee in front of me.
"Nessie, look at me…" he said in a soft voice but I knew it was an order. "These Girls won't bother you any more, I promise" he hugged me and I let go once my cries turned into sobs. He moved to the couch and I fell asleep on his shoulder
