I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in so long. I have just had so much going on. I know this chapter isn't long, but it's going to get me back on track with updating. So enjoy it, and review

By the time we got to Edwards house everyone was asleep. I took Ashley by the hand and Edward led us to the guest bedroom. When I got Ashley settled I grabbed my friends, and told Edward I need to go for a walk to clear my head and try to get a hold of my aunt.

Edward insisted on coming with me, but I talked him out of it, I need to be alone and deal with everything that was going on.

When I go out of the house I made a be-line for the woods. I walk for maybe 15 minutes, in a straight path so I wouldn't get lost. I found a fallen tree and sat on it. I polled my IPod out and put one of my favourite songs on. The Sharpest Lives, By My Chemical Romance.

As the music played I pulled out a joint, and lit it up. As the smoke filled my lungs I started thinking about my sister, is she safe with the Cullen's? Yes she is, I don't think anyone of them would hurt her. But I shouldn't be away from her, not after what almost happened.

Oh God.

It almost happened to her. He almost destroyed her. Who knows what harm mentally this one attempt will have on her? I don't want her to turn out like me. She can never be what I am. I'm nothing compared to her. She has so much of a life ahead of her.

I found my razor in my kit, and slowly dragged it deeply across my arm 3 times. As I let the blood seep down my arm I take a few more hits of my joint.

I started looking for my phone, so I could call my aunt, but as I found it, it started to ring.

"Hello?"

"Bella, where the hell are you? And where is Ashley? Jerry called and said that he went to go get some milk, came home, and neither of you were there. He thought that maybe you two went to the park, so he waited a bit then finally went to go look for you. He looked all over town, and couldn't find either of you. So he finally called your father and I. Care to explain yourself young lady!"

"Would you care to explain yourself? How could you mom, after all that I have told you. You may never have believed me, but I would never expect you to leave us, let alone Ashley in his care. Whets wrong with you? Just in case you were wondering. We are both safe, and we are staying the night at the Cullen's. And tomorrow we are going to Aunt Anna's place until you and dad get home. Don't fight with me on this one mom."

"ISABELLA, ARE YOU DOING DRUGS AGAIN? OR HAVE U TAKEN UP DRINKING THIS TIME?"

"Whatever mom, in the morning I am calling Aunt Anna, and arrange for her to pick us up from school tomorrow. Ashley will get to school tomorrow on time, and so will I. Thanks for your concern, bye."

When I finished my joint I started making my way back to the Cullen house. Edward was waiting for me on the front steps. He asked me if I got a hold of my aunt, I told him it was too late to call her, but I would call her as soon as I got up tomorrow. I went to the room that Ashley was in, and cuddled up close to her. Eventually my mind quieted and I fell asleep.

Bella's mom pov.

"Ughh why does that girl have to be so difficult." I mumbled as I herd the line go dead.

"Baby, did you find them?"

"Yes dear I did, they are staying at the Cullen's for the night, and then tomorrow after school they are staying with Anna."

I was concerned about Bella, I always have been, ever since her cousin died, she's been so different and distant, always picking fights with me, never listing to her father or myself.

"Dear, do you think Jerry would actually hurt her?" He was giving me a blank look. "You know, after Christina's funeral, and he stayed with us for the weekend. When he left, do you remember what she told us? That he was molesting her. And we completely shut her down, we didn't even give her the chance to explain what actually happened. Do you think he would?"

"No baby, our girls are perfectly safe with him. Jerry is a good man, I trust him and he would never hurt them. I just think Bella was going through a lot at the time, she did watch her best friend die. But I think it was just her way of acting out. And now it's happening again, with a major school change, and the fire at the school last year. I think it's just her way of reaching out, and asking for attention. Sure she could be doing it in better ways, but I guess it's her way."

"Your right dear, imp just thinking about it too much. Good night" with a kiss on the lips, we both settled in to bed, but my mind was far from easy, there was a voice in the back of my head telling me to believe Bella, but then there was the louder voice of my husband telling me not to worry, and that she is just lashing out on an easy target.
