Chapter 2-Necklace and The Truth

Anna's POV

Bella took my hand and I could see the hurt In Carlisle's eyes as we walked out without telling him the truth. I wondered why Bella didn't tell him. He could make Charlie go away forever. We would never have to see him again. I can see why Bella didn't tell him though. We didn't have any other family except Renee. But she left after I was born, I never ever saw her.

I went to grab the necklace that Bella got me for my birthday. I always fiddled with it when I was nervous, but it wasn't in its usual place around my neck. I stopped.

"What's the matter Anna?" Bella asked me as I stopped.

"The necklace you got me. I had to take it off during my chest x-ray. Carlisle has it. I need to go back and get it." I turned and ran down the hall to the room we were just in.

He wasn't there. I figured that he had gone back to his office.

"Bella, you can go get the car he went to his office. I'm going to go get it." I didn't wait for her to respond but took off towards… well I didn't know where I was going. I saw a nurse.

"Where is Dr. Cullen's office?" I asked.

"Down the hall then turn left. It's the third door on the right." I said a quick thank you and took off. I couldn't lose that necklace. It was the only valuable thing I had.

Bella spent three months pay for it. It was a gold heart locket and had a picture of us and Charlie, when he was nice, and on the back it had inscribed, 'May one day it be like this again. 3 Bella.' I continued down the hall. I made the left then started to walk. One, two, three. Dr. C. Cullen, was written on the door.

I knocked and waited for a response.

"Come in." Came his sweet voice from the other side of the door. I walked in and was greeted by the blonde man.

"Y-You-u... Hav-v-vee.. My-y.. Locket." I managed to say the last word without stuttering.

"Oh, yes I do. I was going to swing by after work to give it to you. But since you're here now you can have it. Here you go." He said as he walked around his desk and handed me my necklace.

"Anna, I would like to ask you something. Why was Charlie's hand print on Bella's neck?"

"Well… I'm not allowed to tell." I said as I sat down in a chair and looked down. I was wondering if I should tell. Debating. I didn't want to tell and Bella get mad. I did want to tell so we didn't have to deal with Charlie anymore. I didn't want mine or Bella's life in danger anymore.

"If Charlie's hitting one, or both of you, you should tell. It's illegal and he can go away for a long time. So, again, why is Charlie's hand print on Bella's neck?" I was going to tell him no matter how much Bella didn't want me to.

"Well… Charlie has hit Bella since I can remember. Whenever Bella knew that he was about to start she would tell me to go up the stairs and hide in our room. I could hear Bella's screams..." I was crying really bad at this point. Carlisle came over and lifted me into his lap as if I were as light as a feather. Even though I didn't really know him I just fell against him crying. He rubbed my back and shhhhhed me and told me everything was ok.

For the first time in my life I felt safe. I felt love from a father. Yes. A father. Not mine but a father.

"Today was the first time he ever hit me. Bella came walking, no stumbling into our room. Charlie was good at walking drunk. He came up the stairs and grabbed Bella by the neck and flung her across our room. I wanted to protect her so I jumped in front of her. He grabbed me and flung me across the room." That was last I could get out before I started balling again.

I heard the door open.

"Anna! What did you say Carlisle." I looked up shocked. She thought it was him. He was the one helping me and her. I didn't know what to say. Carlisle did though.

"It wasn't me that was talking it was Anna. I know what happened. And I can't let you two go back to that house with him in there."

"I told him Bella. I don't want to get hurt again. I don't know how you put up with it for so long but. I can't and won't let it happen to you anymore." I almost screamed at her. I laid my head back down on Carlisle's shoulder. I had made a wet spot on his white doctor's coat.

"Well… What do you suggest we do then Carlisle? We have nowhere to go. I am not taking myself or Anna to a shelter. And… and… and… If we don't go home Charlie will come find us to kill us. I graduate in... A week. I... I'm too old to go to foster care. I can't j-j-jus-st let her go." She had tears streaming down her face.

I got up and ran to her. I gave her a big hug. She didn't return. I looked up. She looked off into the distance. She snapped back into reality and soon realized what I was doing. She fell to her knee's and swept me into a huge hug. I wanted to keep hugging her. She reminded me there was good in the world and not everything was bad. Like Charlie. She picked me up, even with her ribs.

"Don't worry Anna. I'll figure out how we can stay together."

Carlisle spoke up for the first time in a while.

"You two could come over to my house, for the night. I'm sure Alice and Rose would have fun dressing up Anna." Carlisle slightly giggled.

"Would you really let us? That would help Carlisle. Thank you." Bella Accepted.

"Well my shift ends right now so we can drive over there right now. Edward will be glad to see you Bella."

Bella blushed but didn't say anything. We walked out of the office, me still in Bella's arms. Carlisle walked next to us. I heard a voice that was all too familiar. Charlie was here. I tightened my grasp on Bella.

"Don't worry Bella, Anna. I won't let anything happen." Carlisle walked in front of us. Bella felt so sure of Carlisle. (A/N: Bella knows the Cullen's "Secret".) I didn't though. Carlisle was a little smaller than Charlie and Charlie has police training. I hid my head in Bella's hair.

"Bella, Anna!" I heard Charlie's fake concerned voice. We didn't stop acting as if we didn't hear him. He grabbed my arm harder than he should have.

"OWWW!" I screamed out in pain.

"Baby, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!" He had no real concern in his voice it was coated in fake slim.

"No you're not now take your hands off me!" I screamed back and tried to pull away but his grip tightened. I didn't scream but a tear fell. This time Carlisle spoke up.

"Charlie, I think you need to let go. The girls are coming home with me. Alice and Rose want to see them."

"Ok. Fine but if they're not back by 10:30 tomorrow. Then. Well they'll be sorry." No one was around to hear. The nurses' station was deserted. No one was in the waiting room.

Charlie stormed off. I looked down at my wrist. It was already starting to turn purple. Bella stood stunned. She never thought that he would have the nerve to do anything or say anything like that in front of someone.

"Anna are you ok?" Bella and Carlisle almost said in unison.

"I'm fine I just want to go to bed." I yawned. We walked to our cars. Carlisle stopped at the exit to wait for us. I was put into the passenger seat and laid my head against the window trying to fall asleep and succeeded.
