Sometimes all you Need is a Second Chance

Chapter four: Finding out

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone
-Green Day, Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

Sorry I don't update as much as you'd probably like me to, I've had terrible writers block, PLEASE review and give me ideas, I can't promise I'll use them but I'd love to have your input! Please? For me?

Edward POV

*Three months after Bella bought her apartment*

As Em was driving down the road with Alice, Rose, Jazz and I, I saw those same brown eyes and wavy brown hair that I'd seen so many times before. For the last month I'd seen her around town, always in a different place. She always had some things with her in her suitcases and book bag.

The first time I saw Bella was at the airport and my first impression of her was that she was beautiful. Her face was like porcelain, pale, but perfect. She had creamy, chocolate brown eyes and it seemed like you could see into her soul, even though her eyes were kind of red and puffy from crying I could tell that they were beautiful, and I knew that for sure once her eyes went back to normal when she was done crying.

Her hair was a light brown and fell in waves, half way down her back. She looked a little underweight when I saw her first and I couldn't help but to wonder why, yet she was still curvy and had a good figure. There was also something that I knew she didn't tell me when I was talking to her, but I never could figure it out no matter how hard I tried.

And now every time I see her on the sidewalk she looks a little bit thinner and dirtier. I'd never seen her on campus either so I asked someone at the college if someone named Bella Swan enrolled there. Apparently she never did. I figured she was out on the streets, and I decided that next time I was driving I would pull over and talk to her. But not if I wasn't alone.

I felt like what I had to talk about with Bella was a private thing, not something I did with my brothers and their girlfriends. I needed at ask Bella what happened to her, why she lied about going to college, and if she had a home.

"Edward!" Alice called, interrupting my thoughts.

"Yes Alice?"

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, uh, nothing, just thinking," I said.

She eyed me like she knew it was something I didn't want her to know and then asked, "About what?"

"I dunno, just stuff I guess…"

She just looked at me but then gave up and went back to her conversation with Jasper. I knew she wouldn't give up that easily and that she would bring it up again later sometime. I supposed I'd tell her if she didn't tell anyone else until I found a few things out.

Em pulled his huge, off-road Jeep into the garage of our house. My father, Carlisle, and mother, Esme bought it for me and my "brothers and sisters." We weren't all related, only Emmett and Alice were my real siblings. Jasper and Rose were adopted and Rose was engaged to Emmett so we were pretty much like one big family. (A/N: Sorry if you were confused about the family thing from chapter two, that was messed, this is how it's supposed to be, so sorry for any confusion! Also, they'll usually refer to one another as family/brothers and sisters.)

I got out of the Jeep along with my brothers and sisters and walked up the stairs to the house. We didn't want to live on campus, we preferred having our own house. Before we got in the door I decided that I'd go look for Bella.

"Hey guys, I think I'm going to go for a walk."

Alice knew that it had to do with what I was thinking about so I gave her a look saying 'later', she nodded and walked in the door, shutting it behind her.

I turned around and got into my Volvo, then started driving around the street, hoping to find Bella near where I saw her.

After about five minutes of driving I was near where I saw Bella so I slowed down and started circling around the streets near by.

Soon after I saw the familiar eyes of Bella in the middle of the street, walking. I saw a few guys behind her and she looked kind of worried about it. I pulled over next to her and she looked so scared she was going to shit her pants.

When she saw me a look of relief crossed her face. I put down the window and told her to get in. She opened the door and sat in the car then looked over at me, "How'd you know where to find me?"

"I saw you earlier and thought I'd come back to check on you. I've seen you around the past month so I decided to see what was up." I decided to be totally honest with her, I was going to be straight forward because I needed to know what was going on.

She looked down and didn't say anything.

"Bella?" I asked softly.

She looked up, then said in a weak voice, "Yeah?"

"Why did you lie to me about going to college?" I looked over at her with questioning eyes.

She didn't say anything for a minute so I stayed quiet and waited for her to say something.

"I didn't think it would be a problem because I never expected to see you again," Her voice was barely a whisper.

I wasn't going to dwell on that very much so I decided I'd start asking the two big questions, "Bella, where do you live…?"

She sighed, but I think she was going to tell me the truth. "The streets. I usually try find somewhere that looks decently safe and comfortable."

"And how's that been working out for you?"

She blushed a beautiful shade of red then answered me, "Not to well. Creeps have been following me around and I've almost been raped two times…"

At hearing that I stiffened and blood boiled under my skin. I don't think I'd ever felt such anger, especially not towards two people that I'd never even met before in my life, though I had no clue why I was so angry.

"How'd you get away?" I asked once I recovered myself.

"I'm a fast runner," She explained.

"I'm glad to hear."

She still wouldn't look up at me and was fidgeting with her fingernails like they were the most incredible things in the world.

"One more big question…"

"Yeah?"

"What didn't you tell me at the airport?" I asked hesitantly.

She sighed and finally looked up at me, "You sure you wanna know? It's not a happy story."

I nodded and looked at her expectantly. I knew this would be hard for her, and I wasn't going to push her if she couldn't tell me the whole story, but I knew she needed to tell someone.

She took a deep breath then after a few minutes of silence she started telling me her story, "Well it all started when I was 5 years old…"
