I opened the door to see Edward Cullen, my ex-boyfriend from Forks. How did he even know I left or where I lived?

"What the are you doing here Cullen?" I seethed.

"I came to beg you to take me back. I'm really sorry about our fight. I shouldn't've tried to make you do something you didn't want to do." He explained.

"I am not taking you back. EVER! How did you even know I left or better yet where I live?!" I snarled.

"I went by Charlie's house to apologize, but you weren't there. I asked Charlie where you were, he just you went home. So I broke into the school's records and looked up your previous address." Edward replied.

"Bella, estàs bien?" Mia asked. (Bella, are you alright?)

"Si. Ve a sacar a Dom del garaje, por favor." I replied. (Yes. Go get Dom out of the garage, please.)

Mia nodded and left. When I turned back to Edward he was mad.

"What did you say to her?" Edward growled, grabbing me by the neck and shaking me around violently.

"LET HER GO!" Dom bellowed.

Edward then dropped me, looking ready to fight Dom. Dom then pulled the piece(gun) out of his waistband and pointed it at Edward.

"Don't manhandle my sister again. Now leave." Dom barked.

Edward then bolted to his car and drove off. Then my siblings turned to me.

"Are you alright? Who was that?" Dom asked, which I just shook my head because I couldn't talk.

"Do you need a doctor?" Mia then asked me, to which I gave a nod of yes.

Mia then let the guys in the garage that we were going to the hospital. Dom picked me up and gently placed me in the car, like I couldn't walk on my own. Then as soon as Mia got in the car he sped of towards the hospital. With Dom's driving we were there in 10 minutes. I carefully slid out of the car, to which Dom placed an arm about to pick me up. I shook my head no and started slowly walking. Dom sighed and put my arm around his neck and lifted me like I weighed nothing. Mia walked to the desk and told the nurse what happened to me and I was immediately taken back to get checked out. Not even 2 minutes later there was a knock on the door.

"Hi Isabella. I was told that you were manhandled by an angry ex, is that true?" the doctor asked.

"Yeah. He grabbed her by the neck really hard and shook her around violently." Dom answered for me.

"Let me take a look." The doctor responded.

After a quick examination the doctor said, "Well it looks like you may have bruised your trachea. I suggest that for the next week, you eat something small and easy. Like soup. You will sound a little raspy for a couple days, but try not to talk too much and you'll be fine." the doctor said.

"Thanks, Doc." my brother replies.

After that we left to go home, me being hungry since I didn't get to eat my pancakes. I text Mia saying 'Since I probably can't eat your delicious pancakes, can I have a strawberry banana smoothie?'. Mia giggles and says 'Sure'. I smiled and just listened to the music.

As we pulled into our driveway everyone here came running.

"What happened? Why did you have to go to the hospital?" Vince asked, clearly very worried.

"Bella's ex from Forks came by and bruised her trachea." Dom answered seething.

"WHAT?!" the guys yelled.

Jesse immediately hugged me, clearly upset that someone hurt me. He doesn't take it very well when someone hurts someone he loves, physically or emotionally. While Dom, Vince, and Leon were arguing about what to do about Edward, Letty, Mia, Jesse, and me went inside. Mia started fixing my strawberry banana smoothie, while I laid down on the couch.

"Ya doin okay, chica?" Letty questioned.

I nodded my head yes and turned on the TV. Mia handed me my smoothie, which I accepted gratefully. As I drank it, Jesse started talking about random things he has been doing lately, girls he's been with, engine designs, etc. I placed my cup on the coffee table and curled up with my head on Jesse's lap and fell asleep. Sometime later I woke up in my bed. I walked downstairs to find it empty. I go out to the garage knowing at the guys will be in there. The only person I see is Dom. I knock on the wall alerting him of my presence. He looks up at me and smiles.

"Hey sleeping beauty." He jokes. I smile.

I got out my phone to ask him where everyone was.

"Well there was a race tonight, but since you were asleep, we decided that one of us would stay with you so I volunteered." He answered.

I mouthed 'thank you' and walked over to give him a hug and to see what he was working on. He hugged me back and handed me a wrench. Together we worked on the car until we heard everyone pull up to the house. I set my tools down and jumped onto my brother's back. He just laughed and walked us

inside.
