A/N Just went on live preview to see how long my chapters look to all you guys and I must say, they look pathetic. So here comes a three-thousand+ chapter. Maybe.

Twilight! Where are you? Not with you, obviously. Damn.

Bella's P.O.V

"Well what does everyone have next? I have study hall." Said Edward. My saviour.

"I have math with Jasper." Said Alice sadly.

"Then maybe you should go back to school."

"I have Physics." Groaned Rose.

"Err, study hall?" Sid Emmett hopefully.

"Nice try, you're not in my class. I'll stay with Bella." Alice smirked at him and Edward scowled back, rolling his eyes. He doesn't want to stay, well why would he. Being anywhere near me is a chore. I felt the tears begin to gather but pushed them back.

"I'll be fine on my own if you want to get back to class. Really, I'll be ok."

"It's really no trouble Bella. I'm staying." He said with finality. I nodded.

"Well bye, Bella, see you tonight?"Asked Alice. I smiled and nodded.

"Ok."

"I'll bring her to ours."

"Erm, Rose? Could you please maybe drive my truck to your house? It's still in the parking lot at school." I said quietly.

"Sure Bella, you got the keys or do I have to hotwire it?"

"N-no, I have the keys." I handed over the keys to my truck, a little scared that Rose actually knew how to hotwire a car.

The others all said bye to me, Edward and Carlisle. Then Carlisle led me and Edward downstairs to the x-ray waiting room.

"I'm sorry Bella but I have to go. I'll be back when it's time for your x-ray."

"It's fine, thank you Carlisle." I said. He smiled one more time before walking away, leaving me and Edward alone.

We sat down, an uncomfortable silence overtook us.

"You didn't have to stay you know. I get it, I'm not much company." I looked to the floor again.

"I wanted to. I think you are amazing company." I peeked up at him through my hair and eyelashes. I was probably blushing bright red too.

"Well thank you." I said. "I appreciate you coming with me and staying."

"That's ok. So what do you usually listen to in class? Obviously not the teacher." He grinned that half grin, that crooked grin. I blushed and he laughed, it was like clockwork.

"You're not going to believe me." I warned.

"Just tell me."

"Heavy metal. Screamo. Emo. Hippie stuff. Just not R&B. Can't listen to it for the life of me. Other stuff? You can get lost in you know? It just blocks everything out whereas R&B? I just don't need to know how many girls some pimp has fucked or what some slag wanted to be when she grew up." I finished my little rant and looked at Edward. He was sat with this small half smile on his lips.

"So what's your favourite?" He asked.

"It depends on my mood but, whenever I feel upset, depressed, like I can't go on, Mumford & Sons Winter Winds can always get me smiling. It just, oh I don't know. It makes me relax, un-tense all my aching muscles, let out a sigh… And smile." I closed my eyes as the melody came to me, letting the feeling wash over me.

"Beautiful." Edward whispered.

"You know the song then?" I asked him.

"What? Oh yeah, the song. Love it." I smiled back and tried to re position myself slightly on the annoying chair. A small pain made its way from my wrist to my shoulder. I winced. "Are you ok?" He asked. Nothing gets past you does it. He smirked as if he had heard me.

"Yeah, just the pain is starting. It isn't that bad. A few painkillers and I'll be fine." I wondered if they would give me some prescription ones, they would really help me… relax. I didn't get high off pills much, never when Charlie was around. I always needed to be on my toes when he was there. But on those rare occasions I was blessed with the house to myself for a few nights, I flew, and I flew high. Just to get away for a few hours.

Charlie infested my life all the time. When he actually there, at school, at the house, even in my sleep there he was, ready to make me feel like crap. When I flew on the other hand… Of course the come down was crap and sometimes I would feel like I needed them to survive but I was strong and got over it. I don't condone it but well, in my case, I think it's allowed.

"I'm sure Carlisle will prescribe you something." Said Edward. I did a little happy dance inside. "Speak of the devil and he shall appear." Edward grinned and nodded to the door. Carlisle was walking towards us, smiling a little.

"The x-ray is free now, come on." I got up and followed Carlisle down a series of corridors, with Edward on my right.

"Have you ever had an x-ray before Bella?" Asked Carlisle.

"No, this is the first." I was slightly nervous but I knew people went through them every day. Thinking about it, it was astonishing I had never had to come to the emergency room before for a broken bone. I always just gritted my teeth and went along with it… SHIT! I hadn't thought of all the old breakages that might be seen.

"Erm, you know what? Strange thing, I don't think my arms broken after all. It doesn't even hurt anymore." I laughed uneasily.

"I heard it snap Bella." Said Edward.

"It was probably my elbow, clicking, like your neck does sometimes." I rambled. "I don't want the x-ray." I said in my most final and demanding voice. It sounded weak.

"Bella, as a doctor I suggest you have the scan. If the bone doesn't heal properly, if it sets wrong, then it may well have to be re-broken so that we can re set it."

"Well, Dr Cullen, can we talk for a second, in private?" I asked, a red blush creeping up my cheeks.

"Of course Bella." We walked a little way down the corridor, out of Edward's ear shot.

"If, if I have the x-ray and it turns out the bone is broken, do I have to get a cast?" I asked nervously. He looked at me strangely before answering slowly.

"Well, no. But it would be very stupid to leave a broken bone unsupported." I nodded.

"Yeah, but I don't HAVE to have one. And you couldn't tell anyone that it was broken right? Because of doctor patient confidentiality?" His eyebrows creased and came together in thought and confusion.

"Strictly speaking, no."

"So you couldn't tell ANYONE?" I had to be sure. "Not even, my dad?" I was revealing way too much but if needed I could say that Carlisle was lying.

"Well, no. I wouldn't be allowed. Seen as you are over 16. Bella, if something is going on at home then you need to tell me." He looked right into my eyes with such intensity I had to look away.

"I'm fine. I think I'll have the x-ray." I said in a small voice.

Before Carlisle had a chance to say anything else I walked to Edward who was stood waiting for us. He looked like he was trying to figure out a very hard math problem.

"Are you ok?" I asked. He nodded slowly.

"Yeah, I'm fine. So are you having the x-ray?" I nodded and, guess what, blushed.

"Good." He looked like he wanted to say something else but thought better of it.

Edward's P.O.V

I was trying to piece it all together. The logical explanation was that Bella was being abused by her dad. The thing is, her dad is chief Swan. Charlie. Always happy and thinking innocent thoughts. It just didn't make sense.

"This way Bella." Carlisle directed us into the x-ray room. His thoughts were a lot like mine, thinking that it was most likely to be Charlie Swan abusing Bella but not being able to believe it.

It didn't take long to get the results of Bella's x-ray. She had fractured it but would only allow a stiff wrist brace to be put on.

"You're going to regret not getting a proper cast Bella." Sighed Carlisle as he walked us out to the main entrance.

"Maybe, but I won't complain." She smiled slightly, wiggling her fingers.

"I'll be home about six Edward. Look after Bella." Carlisle smiled at me, Bella blushed and I grinned. I'm not sure why, but the fact that Bella blushed over the slight innuendo that Carlisle had made, made me extremely happy. A little smug as well.

"I will. Come on Bella, I'll take you to meet my mother, Esme." Bella smiled at me and nodded.

"Thank you so much Doctor Cullen. I really am thankful." Carlisle smiled at her the way he smiled at Alice and Rose. Like he smiled at his daughters. Bella just had that effect on people.

Carlisle gave me a firm hug and shook Bella's good hand before saying goodbye and walking back to work. He would work twenty-four hours a day if he could but, he had to act human.

I led Bella to my car and opened the door for her, causing her to blush. I couldn't help grinning a little.

The ride out of town was silent, so I decided to put on my stereo. It began to play Eyes On Fire by Blue Foundation. Bella's lips pulled up into a half smile, this in turn caused me to smile. I just like to see people happy, I told myself. I didn't dwell on that because I knew if I did, I would see through my lie. It was a pretty bad one.

Alice's P.O.V

The future was not looking good. Since I had gotten involved with Bella, which was approximately three hours ago, I had seen three different apocalypses, Bella dying hundreds of times, vampires being discovered sixteen times and one happy ending. In the happy ending, Bella was a vampire with golden eyes and she was walking down the aisle to Edward who was looking at her with nothing but love in his eyes.

It was playing havoc with my emotions, the feelings I was feeling were so intense, that when they were amplified through Jazz, the whole school was on edge, fights broke out between friends and teachers lost all will to teach. I had seen several staff members take swigs from hip flasks no doubt containing some form of alcohol.

"We have to get out of here." I said wearily. I wanted to make all these people pay for what they had done to Bella, but this wasn't the way. Well that's what I told myself.

"Yeah, let's go." Jasper took hold of my hand and we walked out to my car. Rose drove Bella's truck and Emmett his jeep.

Edward's Volvo was already there when we all pulled up, after a little raced to prove that my car was the best. Which it is.

I ran inside closely followed by the others. We didn't run at vampire speeds, obviously, but we went fast for 'humans'.

"Hey Eddie!" I said as I flopped down on the sofa. Bella was sitting cross legged on the floor, Edward was next to her. They had been talking about music. I had 'seen' that conversation was getting a little strained. Something was making Bella feel on edge. The weird thing was, it wasn't us.

Bella's P.O.V

You know that feeling you get when you think you're missing something, like you haven't locked to door, or you didn't do the dishes? That feeling that you're in danger? Just the feeling that something isn't right? I had that a lot but never as strong as I did sat with Edward in his families lounge.

I felt so out of place. I didn't belong there, surrounded by so many nice things. By so many nice people. It made me feel like a tramp to be sat in the lush luxury of the Cullen mansion.

I had met Esme, who was amazing and wonderful. She reminded me of my own mother. She was gone now, she had the guts to jump off the cliff a few years ago. I didn't blame her for leaving me.

"Bella? What's wrong, you seem uncomfortable." Asked Edward lightly. I looked up from the carpet where my eyes were looking at the fine make of it.

"Nothing, I'm just very appreciative of what you're all trying to do for me. I just have no way to repay you. I feel very inadequate sat here surrounded by nice things and nice people." I blushed and looked back to the floor.

"What's going on Bella? Please tell me." He begged. My heart sped up. I hadn't been carful enough.

"Look, I have to go. Tell the others thank you, for standing up for me and taking me to the hospital." With that I ran from the room, I was blocked at the front door though.

"Oh hi Bella!" Said Alice.

"Alice, I'm real sorry but I have to go. Thank you for today, really. It did mean a lot to me and," I paused, not wanting to give anything away but needing her to know that she did all she could to stop me. "and it's not your fault. You helped." I ran out to the drive where Rose was just getting out of my truck.

"Bella. Your truck is so slow, please let me get under the hood?" She begged me. I just got into the driver's seat and leaned out the window to talk to a shocked Rose.

"Thanks, after it all blows over, tell them I said you could have it." I turned the key an drove down the long drive to the only road that runs through the forest and into Forks.

I didn't go into Forks though, I didn't go home. I drove to the cliff that my mother had jumped from. Talking to Esme, even if it was only in passing, had made me realise just how much I missed my mom.

I parked my truck and walked the short distance down the dirt track to the spot my mother had jumped from. There were a few boys from the reservation jumping from the high cliff. It was some sort of growing up, proving yourself thing.

I walked up to them, not really taking any notice. I shrugged off my jacket and threw it to the ground. I slipped my sneakers off one by one. A small smile appearing on my face. I let my hair out of its bun and shook it out.

The boys were looking at me, apprehensive. I just laughed slightly. I pulled my shirt over my head and threw it behind me in the general direction of my coat. I shimmied out of my jeans and by the time they had joined the rest of my clothes, I was at the edge. I didn't stop, not even for a second, I just walked straight off the edge. Smiling on the way down.
