Here's chapter three… enjoy!!
Sooner than I had hoped I was home and as I made my way over up the stairs to my front porch that's when I heard…
"Looks like we're neighbors"
Bella's POV:
My body froze as I felt my heart rate speed up to what felt like 100 miles per hour. I'm surprised he didn't hear it.
"Great not only do you get to stalk me at school but also at home now as well. Must be a dream come true for you" I replied sarcastically as I heard him chuckle.
"You know you can't get enough of me" Edward smirked.
"Look, save you ego for someone who cares alright… just leave me alone ok" I sighed as me eventually turned his gorgeous head and walked away. As my body moved into the foyer and up the stairs towards my bedroom I heard the yells coming from what I guessed was the kitchen again. Was this every going to end? My body reluctantly reached my bedroom as the yelling overpowered the house.
"YOU'RE NEVER HOME" yelled the sound of my father "WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO THINK. YOU'RE ALWAYS WORKING LATE AT THE OFFICE. ALL YOU EVER CARE ABOUT IS YOUR FASHION LINE AND THE MONEY THAT COMES ALONG WITH IT. YOU NEVER CARE ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON THE LIVES OF OUR DAUGHTERS!!"
"EXCUSE ME!! HOW DARE YOU JUDGE ME FOR HAVING A CAREER AND WORKING MY ASS OFF FOR YOU AND THIS FAMILY" yelled my mother.
"HOW CAN YOU BE SO SELFISH AND HEARTLESS!!" he replied.
"I'M SELFISH? WHO'S THE ONE THAT PUTS FOOD ON OUR TABLE… I AM… WHO PAYS FOR THE GIRLS EDUCATION… I AM… SO DON'T YOU DARE SAY I'M SELFISH!! I'VE NEVER STEPPED IN THE WAY OF YOUR DREAM AND RIGHT DOWN YOUR PULLING ME DOWN. IF IT WASN'T FOR ME… THIS FAMILY WOULD SUFFER AND BE GOING DOWN HILL FINANCIALLY!!" she yelled back. "Get out of my house".
"What?" My father asked in disbelief.
"I said get out" she replied while he shook his head "GET OUT!!" she screeched as the front door slammed and the sound of my mothers sobs could be heard throughout the house.
A loud rumble brought me back to my present reality, if only just for a short moment. I gradually looked around my darkened bedroom realising rain was cascading down the window and lightning was flashing across the angry sky. I shivered as that one argument in time flashed in my mind yet again. Warm liquid ran down my cheeks until the distinct taste of salt from my tears fell onto my rough, cracked lips. I closed my eyes hoping that this argument would fade but with each crack of thunder the past was carved into my heart like a tattoo. The pain, the guilt was there again enveloping and strangling me.
This wild storm expressed how I felt. It symbolised the pain and heartache that was ripping through my body. All I wanted to do was scream with the rumbles of thunder that sounded across the skies. My body, my mind and my heart all ached physically and emotionally with a pain that was never ending.
I rested my weak body against the window before sliding down the wall as my sorrows washed through my body like a flood drowning me. I couldn't breathe and no one was there to rescue me. My fragile arms pulled my knees tightly to my chest ignoring the shooting pain of the sudden cramps occurring in my upper thighs. As I placed my chin on my knees the flood of tears cascaded freely down my face hitting my cool skin. My mind was once again lost in that nightmare.
A woman, with concern written all over her face, slowly entered my bedroom. I looked in those familiar eyes as she walked over to me and placed a warm soft hand against my cheek allowing my exhausted head to rest in the palm of her hand. I slowly pushed her hand away and moved my shaking body up the wall; I turned to look at the miserable rain outside my bedroom window. "Get out" I whispered softly. I stole a glance at my mother crouched on the ground beside my feet and saw a single tear slide down her face. I slowly turned my head away and noticed a photo sitting on my bed. The photo consisted of a memory long ago when happiness actually existed in our family.
"Honey I'm sorry about before but you know how your father can be" she replied. Before I knew what I was doing I felt something collide with the palm of my hand. Oh my gosh… I did not just slap my mother across the face. I watched my mothers distort face as she held the side of her cheek.
"GET OUT" I screamed yet again. This time it seemed she had no hesitation on leaving and before I knew it the front door had slammed a second time that night.
With my mind in turmoil, I slowly reached over to retreat my guitar. I soft smile appeared on my face as I felt the rough strings of the guitar under my fingertips and allowed the soft melody to overcome my sorrows. I began to sing a familiar song I had written just after all the family fights that were beginning to shatter my family forever.
Still falling
Breathless and on again
Inside today
Beside me today
Around broken in two
till you eyes shed
Into dust
Like two strangers
Turning into dust
till my hand shook with the way I fear
I could possibly be fading
Or have something more to gain
I could feel myself growing colder
I could feel myself under your fate
Under your fate
It was you breathless and tall
I could feel my eyes turning into dust
And two strangers turning into dust
Turning into dust
It was right then that I allowed myself to break down and let all the troubles that were building in my life out. I coun't tell my friends about the traumas of my life… I was ashamed of my life… and have been for quite sometime. What would the school think of me? I would lose my friends like I had lost my family. I would be the most talked about person in the whole school… well more like town. Something like this doesn't stay quiet. I felt alone… I really was alone. I felt my eyes become heavy as I slowly slipped into darkness. I soon felt two warm hands cuddle me as I slowly opened my eyes and saw two brown eyes staring back at me.
"Bella, wheres mummy and daddy? My three year old sister Hannah cried.
"I don't know baby girl" I wimpered as my eyes slipped back into darkness.

The song is 'Into Dust' by Mazzy Star.
