SORRY I T TOOK SO LONG FOR THIS CHAPTER TO BE POSTED

BELLA POV

After I finished serving those kids I went in to find Angela and to make sure she was really okay cuz I didn't like when my friends hurt especially not her. She said she was okay so we finished our shifts together locked up and left.

The next day I was at the park reading a book on the swing when a group of kids come up to me and surround me first I'm thinking If the jump me I'll have to get violent but there is rarely any crime in this part. When I looked up it took me a while to recognize the kids from the dinner last night.

"OH hi" I said yeah I am tot ally brilliant not

"hey" they all said than Alice the short one walked up to me and said I was just wondering what you meant by everyone has a story and you shouldn't judge especially if you don't know their story"

"Well" I said "it's just that some people go through a lot of things in their life and the place they end up isn't always their choice or their fault. Your brother was really rude to her but he doesn't know what has happened to her and she has been through more in 4 years then you'll probably ever go through in your entire life time. I don't think I should but I'll tell you her story as long as you promise no interruptions"

"OKAY but will you please tell us you story too" I was surprised because Edward asked me this.

I was silent for a few minutes before I whispered yes real softly first off is Angela's though."

Okay here I go

Angela was no is really smart and she had a lot of potential but her parents both died in a crash in her junior year and she got emancipated then she decided to take care of her 3 little brothers and put them through school she fought for money and worked 2 jobs while using her parents life insurance and her salary and college fund to start some for her brothers. Her first brother just started college the second in his sophomore year and the last on is still in 8th grade. She is stressing to pay all the bills and mortgage and she doesn't like charity we are much alike in that sense we don't like felling like we are depending on other people. Angela is a very selfless girl and she'd do anything for her family not to mention the fact that she was abused by her last boyfriend I remember coming home to see her lying on my lawn all battered and bruised how I' had missed it I don't know but I made sure to press charges and that bastard is in jail now so that was taken care of but it's trauma and she finds it hard to trust people.

After telling them Angela's story I watched as they all shared shocked expressions and Edward looked pained. So he did have a conscience at least he wasn't all ice.

That's so sad said Rosalie and all of them nodded

Yeah it is she's missing school and the opportunity to live because of this and it actually hurts me to see her like this.

"So now what's your story?"

I took a big gulp of air stared at the ground and started to retell my story my story was on filled with horrors, abuse, rape, loss, sacrifice and all.

When I was 10 my parents well my mom left us and she got remarried I would go to stay wither on vacations and Phil her husband he was always very violent but he never actually hurt me though I knew he hurt her, she begged me not to say anything and I didn't. That was probably one of the stupidest things I've ever done in my whole entire life. The summer I turned 15 things changed I was down there and he called me in his room while my mom went out and he said if I ever wanted to see her again I would strip so I did. I took off all my clothes and he told me to lay down on the floor. So I did that to. The next thing I know he's on me biting, sucking, licking I was squirming and he started hitting me so I kept still. I remember getting knocked out for most of it but when I woke up I had a searing pain in my lower body and there was blood everywhere then I knew. I'd been raped. I FELT SO DIRTY. NOONE would love me after that. But I was young and naïve I didn't tell anyone but I think my mom figure it out. I told my dad I was never going back and he said okay that if Renee wanted to see me she would have to come down here. The next summer I was 16 and she died t.t. they found h h her body in a a a park near a zoo and she had been raped then shot on the c c ch hest. I learned to move on Angela helped me a lot though I don't think I could have done it without her she was the only one who knew about everything that happened. I don't even know why I'm trusting you guys with this but whatever. I had gone off to school when my dad got sh shot by an armed robber in the city I knew he couldn't take care of himself so I flew down from San Francisco which is where I got a scholarship for and came to help him he's In a wheel chair I feed him, help him bathe, take him out I wouldn't trust anyone else with the job he's my father I don't want to sound macabre or anything but I know he doesn't have much time left and I couldn't stand if he passed away and I wasn't there so I took on this job to pay the bills and mortgage and my car note."

But do you see what I mean Angela never asked for this life HELL I don't think anyone would ask for this life but were living it and it's not fair to have so guy wearing Italian loafers up in your face because everyone has problems some more than others but Angela and I we decided long ago not to dwell on the shoulda coulda woulda and focus on what we have she's grateful for her brothers I'm grateful for my father and we are grateful for each other.

After that I looked up to see 5 stunned faces and all I said was

Reality hurts and life's a bitch but we gotta live her we had to get over it.

EMMETT POV

I listened to her story and Angela's and I couldn't believe it I guess being rich and popular I had it made even if I don't necessarily think like Edward or how he thought cuz I think he's changed. I still just realized everyone's different and some people are better off than others and some people materially us and some people spiritually and morally Bella and Angela and wow I never knew I could be this deep but this girl seems to bring out the best in everyone. I drew rose closer to my side just thinking of what Bella had been through and I saw that rose and Alice were crying and Edward looked pained and murderous huh…. And jasper just looked well like jasper except with a little more emotion.

REAVIEW PLEASE THEY MAKE ME UPDATE FASTER IF U WANT IT THAT IS…….????????
