Alexis ran as fast as she could through the woods but it wasn't fast enough. By the time she opened her apartment door, Will had pulled up into his usual parking space.

'Damn.' Alexis thought as she tried to catch her breath.

Will stomped through the doorway slamming the door behind him. Alexis braced herself for the onslaught she knew was coming.

"What in the hell where you doing out there?" he demanded.

"I, uh, was walking." she stammered.

"Then where is that stupid mp3 player that's always glued to your hand?" Will asked.

'Shit.' Alexis thought as she looked at her empty hands. 'I must have dropped it.' she thought. "I don't know." she said aloud.

"I don't know." Will mocked her. "You weren't walking. You were out whoring around with some guy weren't you"

"No, baby, no. I would never!" she exclaimed backing up.

"You're just a lying little bitch." he yelled as he stepped towards her.

"No." Alexis whispered.

"All I've ever done was love you. You lying whore. You don't appreciate me. You deserve every bit of what you get, exactly what whores get." He slapped her across the face. "You stupid whore." He grabbed a now crying Alexis by the hair and dragged her back to her bedroom.

As he threw her on the bed, he began unbuckling his belt and said, "This is for your own good, bitch."

Emmett ran home to talk to his family.

"Edward." he yelled before hitting the driveway.

His brother appeared in the doorway as he ran up the steps.

"That bastard." Edward exclaimed as he read Emmett's thoughts. Jasper came down the stairs when he felt his brothers' anger, Alice and Bella following close behind.

"What's going on? Emmett? Edward?" Jasper inquired.

"Tell them Edward." Emmett said " I'm going to talk to Carlisle." He found his father in his study.

"Yes, Emmett?" he asked as if expecting him.

"There's a problem." Emmett stated.

"What is it? Other vampires?" Carlisle asked, worried.

"No. It's a girl"

"Ah..." Carlisle chuckled.

"No. It's not like that. I saw her this morning in the parking lot..." and Emmett proceeded to tell Carlisle everything that had happened since he had left for school that morning.

"Oh my. That's terrible, Emmett, but son," he sighed " I'm not sure we should interfere." Carlisle said carefully.

"Are you crazy?! Of course we should interfere! She has bruises all over her body because of that bastard!" Emmett yelled in frustration.

"I don't know what we can do, Emmett. Aside from killing the boy, which is out of the question." Carlisle said quickly.

"We can't just sit around and let him hurt her." Emmett pleaded.

"We aren't even sure the extent of the abuse. Son, you must try to find out for sure. You need to talk to her. Figure out her circumstances so we know what we can do, legally." Carlisle explained.

"But- I- she-...alright, Carlisle." Emmett conceded. Emmett sat in his room the rest of the night listening to the music on Alexis' mp3 player.

The next morning, Alexis was up before her alarm went off. "Unn..." she groaned. Every bone in her body ached. She slowly walked to her bathroom mirror afraid to see the new bruises she would have to hide. She shivered involuntarily remembering every detail of the last night.

Shaking her head clear of the memories, Alexis began to undress and stepped into the shower. When she got out she walked to her closet, careful to pick an outfit that covered the bruises on her arms and legs. She went back to the mirror and began to cover up the bruises on her face with her makeup. Once finished, she looked at her clock. 'Well I guess I'll be early today.' she thought and left for school.

As she pulled into the parking lot, Alexis noticed the large new student from the woods. He began walking towards her as she cut her engine and stepped out.

"Hi, I'm Emmett Cullen." he said.

'So that's my mystery man's name. Damn Lexi. Stop thinking like that. Think of what Will could do if he knew.' By the time Alexis finished her thought banter, she realized he was waiting for her to talk.

"Um, hi. I'm Alexis but I think you already know that." she mumbled.

"Yeah sorry about that. My sister, Bella told me your name"

"Bella?" she asked. "Isabella. She said that you were in her AP physics class along with my brother Edward." "Oh. I didn't realize"

"I'm in your 2nd block class." Emmett stated.

"Oh. Sorry. I don't pay much attention." Alexis explained.

"It's alright. By the way, you ran away so fast last night that you left behind your mp3 player." Emmett said handing it to her.

"Alexis!"

"Oh shit, I've got to go. Thank you Emmett." Alexis said as she ran to where Will was waiting impatiently. When she got to him, he grabbed her arm hiding the fact that he was gripping her fiercely.

"What the hell where you doing talking to him?" he demanded through gritted teeth and a fake smile.

"He was just asking me about the class we have together." Alexis assured him.

"Right." he muttered and walked into school with her.

'I'm so sick of fake smiles and trying to hide bruises.' she thought as they walked away.

Emmett watched as Alexis ran to the bastard she called a boyfriend. He growled as the boy gripped her roughly, probably causing more bruises.

"She definitely isn't with him by choice." Edward said eyeing the couple.

Emmett noticed his brothers and sisters had appeared next to him.

"What is she thinking?" Emmett asked.

"Basically she's tired of faking and getting hurt." Edward stated.

"I have a plan." Bella informed them suddenly.

"What?" they all asked at the same time. Bella spoke quickly and quietly filling them in.

The plan was that Bella, much to Edwards distaste, was going to get Will out for a night so Emmett could safely talk to Alexis. Jasper was to follow behind undetected monitoring Will's emotions to keep him from jumping all over Bella. Edward would be listening to Alexis' thoughts as Emmett talked to her in order to get all the details of her situation. Alice would watch for any changes in the future that might disrupt their plan, like Will coming back early "Like I would let that happen." Bella had said.

"Alright then, it's set. Friday night." Emmett said and they all agreed.
