Chapter 4

My searing head woke me up that morning. "Bella? Are you ready?" He called through the bathroom door. I tried to hide the black eye as much as I could. I had on a long-sleeved black shirt, that fit to my form and a pair of jeans. I ran a brush quickly through the mess atop of my head. I took one more glance at the mirror, you could still see it. "Yeah, give me a few more seconds."

"No, come on. Billy's waiting on me." I heard his heavy steps clomp down the stairs, and I followed quickly. We got in his cruiser, and I pretty much zoned out, returning to my happy place. It took me many months, trying to figure out where it was placed, and it turned out to be this huge white house, that I had never seen before. I was by myself most times, which I like to be by myself mostly.

In my happy place, there was no Charlie, no Renee', no one that could harm me was there. I was in the arms of the man I loved, who still at this time, I can not picture. If I wasn't alone, I was in his arms, sleeping. I loved sleeping, it was another escape from this place. I have an idea of who the guy is, but I don't want to admit it.

The car stopping jolted me back to reality. Jacob was waiting outside with Billy, standing behind his wheel-chair. Charlie grabbed Billy's chair and rolled him towards the bank where they would stay for the remainder of the day. Jacob and I headed down towards the beach where we always went when I would come down. We found a place to sit down. "So how's life?" I asked, looking away towards the ocean.

"It's life, what about you?" He said looking at me. "It's the same." I looked back as he was rolling his eyes. "He hurt you again, didn't he?" Jacob asked. I wasn't going to lie to him, "Yeah, he, um, gave me a black eye, and he did some other things." He took his hand and traced my jaw line. "Bella...What else did he do to you?"

"He raped me again." Jacob pulled me into his lap, and held me close. "I really wish that there was something I could do Bella, but Billy won't let me. He doesn't think that we should interfere. You need to tell someone Bella, before he does worse things."

"What else could he do to me Jacob? Yeah, he could kill me, but I would welcome that one. He wouldn't be able to touch me again in anyway. There are worse things than death Jacob." I felt his chin on my head. "That's true Bells, but life would be unbearable for any of us without you here." His life would be unbearable. "You wanna go down to the ocean?" He asked. "Not today, why don't we head back up to the house?" I stood up, as did he and we walked back up to find Charlie and Billy arguing. "Bella, go inside. I don't want you hurt again." I did as Jacob told me.

I didn't know what happened, or why they were arguing, but soon I heard Jacob yelling as well. I heard my name a few times, mostly from Jacob. Then all of a sudden, the yelling stopped. I heard heavy footsteps come up the steps, and someone opened the door, it was Charlie. "Get in the car." His face held no emotion, and his voice mimicked it. I did again as I was told.

When I got in the car, Charlie was right behind me. As we were driving away, I saw the bodies of the only people that stood up for me, my best friend and his father. That tore it, Monday, when Alice and Edward see the black eye, they'll get the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

I slept all of Sunday, only getting up when necessary. Charlie was telling the town about the "unexpected murders" of His best friend and mine. I can not sleep at night, for fear of my life. I sit at my window seal now, watching the moon and the stars. I took off all of my make-up that night, and I wasn't planning on putting it back on. I would go to school tomorrow in a skirt and a short-sleeved shirt.

Monday morning came fast and quick. When I heard my alarm go off, I walked over and turned it off, another sleepless night. Charlie had already left, meaning I had the house to my self. I went and got a long, hot shower, one I haven't had in awhile. After I got dressed and ate what I could, I got in my truck and started to head for school.

I wore what I planned, and I wore it with a smile. It was just a regular khaki skirt with a blue shirt, nothing fancy. I walked into math, recieving the same stares I got when I got to school, stares of shock and curiosity. Alice was no different, except she asked what happened. "I'll tell you at lunch with the rest of you around." Rosalie and Emmett had went on a trip, so they weren't there, and neither was Jasper. So it was just Alice, Edward and me for lunch.

Lunch came faster, and the stares doubled. When Edward saw me, his jaw dropped. "What happened to you? And tell the truth." They said at the same time. "The truth is...my father abuses me."
