Bella's POV
It had been three weeks since I had spoken to Edward at school. I could always feel him watching me. Why? I do not know. He had plenty of beautiful girls flocking around him constantly, why I would be any concern of his baffled me.
It was Sunday night, Charlie was away fishing for the weekend, probably wouldn't be back until tomorrow. I ate some cereal for dinner and got ready for bed. My nightmares were almost every night. Mostly consisting of Phil, how he beat mom and me. How mom begged me not to tell, how he would change. I still kept my promise, I still haven't told. I blame myself mostly for my moms death. If I hadn't gotten Phil so angry she would still be alive. Phil got away, still hasn't been found, the police say he would be crazy to come after me again.
Crazy he must be then for while I was sleeping Sunday night someone crept into my bedroom. I felt someone sit on the bed next to me, I sleepily opened my eyes wondering why Charlie would come into my room. It was Phil. I couldn't even get myself to scream, but he put his hand over my mouth anyways. "I swear if you tell anyone your old man will be rotting next to your mom" he whispered, his breath had a putrid smell to it. "Just relax, it will be over before you know it." He brushed away some of my hair with his fingertips "you look just like your mom you know, I really did love her." I tried to move quickly away from him but he grabbed ahold of my wrist and threw me onto the floor. My head hit the wood with a sickening thud. Phil was back on top of me before I could get back up pinning me to the ground. I was using all my strength to get out from under him, but he was too strong. I finally gave up and went limp, hopefully it would be over soon.
Edwards POV
I woke up Monday morning to the rain pounding against the window. I quickly got ready for school and jumped in my Volvo, honking the horn for Alice. We got to school right as the bell was ringing. I looked around for Bella's truck but couldn't see it anywhere. Even though we never talked I still enjoyed seeing her at school every day in hopes that things might change. My spirits dropped a bit at seeing she wasn't at school today.
The first half of the day went by rather slowly, during lunch we sat with Alice's new boyfriend Jasper, and his sister and her boyfriend Rosalie and Emmett. Still no signs of Bella. She still hadn't showed up by the time Biology came around. I could barely listen to the discussion. I was only vaguely aware of the papers being passed around until I looked at it. I realized it was a group assignment not due until next month. The teacher paired everyone with who they were sitting by, and told me I would need to get in contact with Bella about the assignment. I suddenly felt quite happy for once about a class assignment. I would go to Bella's house after school, she couldn't get mad at me about talking to her about an assignment we had to work together on.
