AN- Thanks for your awsome reviews, I know I'm going in the right direction! Christyallen89 I found that chapter just as hard to write, I haven't decided who is going to save Bella yet although I like your idea of who it could be I hadn't really thought of the other person!

Anyway heres chapter 4 and I do not own twilight unfortunately.

Chapter 4

Uneasiness (EPOV)

I had barely slept last night I couldn't get the image of Bella out of my head, why had she run like she did? Who had screamed at her and caused her to look so terrified. I got out of bed and took a shower hoping that it would relax me before school. I was more or less ready for school when I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in" I called my father walked into my room concern all over his face he came and sat on the end of my bed

"Hey how you doing, the others told me what happened at school yesterday, do you want to talk about it?" Carlisle asked

"Nothing happened not really!" I sighed a reply to Carlisle

"Come on I know you, I know when something is bothering you and you won't feel any better until you have done something to help, now what can I do?" Carlisle replied in a fatherly but stern voice.

"I don't know how to help Carlisle, I met this girl Bella at school yesterday, everyone was really mean to her, Alice and I helped her, when I met her at the end of the day someone screamed her name, she looked so terrified of who ever it was but I couldn't make out who had yelled at her, I just hoped that she is ok?" I said with such speed I'm not sure if Carlisle even heard me, taking two calming breaths. I looked into Carlisle eyes and saw only love and concern without any judgement.

"Son, listen I now you are worried about this girl but let's wait and see if she comes to school to day ok, try talking to her build up a trust basis with her that way she is more likely to open up to you" he replied to my ramblings with so much sincerity. With a smile and a pat on the shoulder he left me to grab my stuff and finish getting Bella ready for school, I just hoped that I was able to get Bella to trust me, I would love to be able to make her smile.

"Eddie bro lets go were going to be late" Emmett called from the bottom of the stairs.

"ok ok I'm coming and stop calling me Eddie you make me sound like a 5 year old" I yelled back as a ran down the stairs hitting him on the back of his head. I always felt better after I had hit Emmett.

Twenty minutes later we arrived in the parking lot I immediately started to search for Bella's red truck hoping that she would already be here. When I couldn't spot her truck I grudgingly headed towards school. Bella wasn't in first period I didn't see her anywhere all morning, during break I hunted the rest of my family down to see if they had seen any sign of her. It wasn't until third period Algebra that I really started to feel worried. I had thought that perhaps Bella was just late but I now think that perhaps others from school had gotten to her and scared her so much that she couldn't come or worse somebody else had hurt Bella. I scribbled a quick note to Alice sat next to me,

Alice she's not here what do I do?

Alice quickly read my note and gave me a reassuring smile before replying,

Edward try not to worry we will try to find something out later to see if we can find out where she lives, I know perhaps Carlisle can use his contacts at the hospital to help find her address.

Edward sighs and glances up towards the teacher trying to pay at least a little attention to one of his lessons today. As the bell rang I shot up form my seat and headed outside closely followed by Alice, I grabbed my cell phone and rang Carlisle number, After what felt like an eternity he finally picked up,

"Edward son how's school going" Carlisle asked with a note of concern on his voice I rarely rang him when I was in school and even less when he was at work, knowing just how busy he was.

"School's ok Carlisle, look listen Bella never showed up for school today, and I'm really worried about her I don't know what to do." I heard Carlisle sigh in response for why I had rang him.

"I just know something is wrong Carlisle, I know I sound crazy and I don't even know this girl but I hate the thought of someone hurting her, hurting anyone who can't protect themselves" I let my anger flow towards Carlisle instantly regretting venting my anger and annoyance towards him.

"Ok Edward, you've only got the afternoon to go try and concentrate on your lessons I'll see you at home and we will try and work something out ok" Carlisle tried to reassure me

"Ok" I replied before hanging up and heading towards lunch with my family my thoughts still firmly on Bella.

(BPOV)

I woke up with a dull ache I had no idea what time it was and I didn't really care I slowly sat up causing shooting pains to run up the entire length of my body I felt like crap, I took a deep breath to steady myself and immediately regretted it as my ribs screamed in protest, I defiantly knew that at least a couple of them were broken. I slowly made my way to the bathroom, hoping a hot shower would ease the aching of my muscles. After I stepped out I looked at myself in the mirror, noticing bruises and cuts over the whole of my body including my face I would have a hard time explaining these at school.

Heading back to my room I checked the time, realising that it was two in the afternoon, shit I hadn't realised I slept the day away, dressing quickly in sweatpants and a hoodie I headed downstairs, Charlie was sitting in the living room he glanced up as I walked looking as if nothing happened at all last night.

"Make yourself useful and go and do the grocery shopping there's nothing to eat in this bloody house" Charlie growled at me as a way of a greeting.

"Yes sir" I replied dreading my trip.

"Oh and make yourself look presentable we don't want anyone suspecting anything do we?" Charlie laughed noticing my bruises on my face.

"Yes sir" I replied once more heading upstairs to change out of clothes that made me at least a little more comfortable.

Twenty minutes later I headed out the door, pain radiating throughout my entire body and slowly made my way towards my truck I leant against my truck, the pain running down my right leg and up my back was horrendous I took a couple of deep breaths before sliding carefully behind the wheel and headed towards the grocery store.

I pulled into the grocery car park, grabbed a cart and headed to do the shopping the cart helped me to keep my balance as my leg was killing me worse than ever. I made it half way round before running into Edward and who I assumed was his father although they looked nothing alike. Edward glanced up and looked right at me with what I thought was a look of relief although I could have been mistaken.

"Bella, hi are you alright?" He asked running up to me. His question knocked me completely of guard did I really look that bad.

"urm hi yeah I'm alright why do you ask?" I replied in a confused way not quite sure how to react.

"Well you weren't in school today and I guess I was worried about you since you looked so scared as you headed home" he glanced down as he said this not wanting to look me in the eye.

"Yeah I'm ok I just caught a 12 hour stomach bug, I'm feeling much better now thanks" I smiled towards Edward he was the first person in a long time to show me any kindness.

"Ok well if you're sure, I guess I'll see you in school tomorrow" He smiled back hopefully.

"Ok" I smiled back before walking away to finish off my shopping and heading back to hell.

I really did like Edward he seemed like a genuine guy who liked me, I still didn't quite understand it, I mean he's only spoke to me a handful of times and if he ever found out about what my life is like then would he want to know or would he think that I'm a waste of space just like my father did and then he would just run a mile.

I finally got home after two and a half hours and began to put the shopping away, Charlie stood in the door watching me. I kept my eyes focused on my task in hand as I felt Charlie come up behind me, grab a fist full of my hair and throw me to the ground before repeatedly punching and kicking me in the exact same places as yesterday, causing my already aching and bruised body to scream out in pain once more.
Throughout all of this Charlie never said a word to me and I refused to let a cry of pain out or a tear to fall because if that happened then he would know that he had won and I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction. He finally stopped and stood over me before spitting in my face, I was in a really bad way and I knew that I either had to get out of here or he would eventually kill me. My only problem being I had no where to go and no one to ask for help, as my thoughts drifted to Edward at the Grocery store and the way he acted towards me could he really be the one I asked to help save my life, could I really put him in that kind of position.

AN- Next chapter we get to see Carlisle's perspective on things, and his suggestions as to what to do to help Bella
