I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT! ALL RIGHTS TOWARDS STEPHENIE MEYER. I AM JUST PLAYING WITH THE PLOT. Sorry for the slow updates. The updates on this story are going to be a little faster I am going to make this my main focus. I am still going to update my other two stories. I am still making these chapters a little darker. It will get happier. I have decided that it was going to get darker. I really don't like Edward as a character. It is going to get worse before it gets better. Don't worry Edward is going to get what is coming to him. I have never written something this dark The next chapter is going to be in March, six months later. I am making Charlie not notice what Edward is doing to her but I still want you guys to think of his as a good father. I feel like that is something in the book that is not shown very well. He is an undetermined character. I might make a spin-off from the last chapter that is not as dark. What do you guys think? Would that be a good idea? Thank you to everyone who has read this story. It means a lot. I hope you guys enjoy.
Months have gone by and it has just gotten worse. Edward did not even trust me to be around my friends anymore. He was glued to my side The only time that he left me was when he had to go somewhere. It was a nice break when he was not around. My father even invited him to go on a family trip to Florida with us. I could not blame him. He had no idea that he was hitting me or breaking my bones. That was the only time that he did not hit me or leave any bruises. Going to school did not get any better. If Carlisle even looked at me Edward would think that we are talking again and he would raise hell. Truth is that Carlisle has not talked to me since that last message. He did not even really talk to me in school. I started to not care about anything. I just went through the motions. I let Edward do what he wanted. He had scared me so badly I did not know what to do. He broke one of my ribs when he was really angry. I don't want to know what he would do if something else happened. I started to pretend that I was happy. That I was not crying inside. It fooled everyone. Nobody noticed that I was unhappy. They just thought that I was busy with school. On the flip side with Edward controlling everything that I did it means that I had all the time in the world to work on my homework. I put all my focus on graduating. Even know Edward would not like it I did put my applications into Yale and Harvard. I did want to have options. Carlisle was right if I ever wanted to live my own life I can not follow in his footsteps. The only question now is am I going to be able to get away from him. I did put in my application to Seattle University just to make Edward happy. Edward will still apologize for hitting me and he would still kiss my bruises. He would tell me that he would never hurt me again. It had confused me. One minute he was fine the next he was pissed. He was playing with my emotions.
Today was going to be the first day back after winter break. I was excited to be home and no longer in Florida. Edward had come and picked me up for school. I asked him a question about school and whatever else that he wanted to talk to. He acted like nothing has changed even know he has taken over my life. He wanted to make sure that people thought that we were still a perfect couple.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. I will not be able to take you home after school." Edward said as we pull into the parking lot.
"Okay. I can call my dad to come and pick me up." I said to him. It is not like you could have told me this before you came and picked me up. I could have driven myself to school.
"I am sorry love. I just remembered that my dad wanted me to see what he does. He wants me to tour the hospital. He thinks I want to be a surgeon." He said squeezing my hand he was holding. "Who would want to be a surgeon. I want to go to school to be a lawyer."
I grind my teeth. I could not feel my fingers. He was squeezing them so tight. "Tell your father that. He will understand." I said to him.
"No, he won't." He said letting go of my hand. He gave me the dirtiest look possible. "Why are you so stupid?"
"I'm sorry," I said but it was too late. He was already out of the car and waiting for me to get out. I got out of the car and followed him. I was going to pay for this later. I just knew it. I am stupid. I deserved whatever he was going to do to me.
"I probably won't be done with the tour until late so I will come and pick you up for school tomorrow." He said taking my hand roughly. I was shocked. He never did that in public. He was always gentle when we were around people. I did a quick look around. Oh, that is why. There is nobody in the parking lot except us.
"Okay. I will message you when I get home." I said.
He nodded and we walked to our lockers. I quickly texted my dad to see if he could pick me up after school. I told him what happened. After that, I grabbed the books that I needed for my first two classes. My phone went off as soon as Edward walked up to me. I did not notice him so I picked up my phone and looked at it. The text was from my dad saying that he could not come and pick me up because he was in Seattle all day.
"Who are you texting?" Edward asked me.
"My dad," I said putting my phone in my pocket.
"Are you lying to me?" He whispered walking closer to me.
I panicked. Was he going to try something at school? Was he going to hurt me again? "No. Here is my phone." I said getting out my phone and showing him my last text.
He looked at my phone and then put it in his pocket. "I think I will keep this for the day." He said.
"What if my dad texts me?" I asked him quietly.
"Then I will text him back." He said slamming my locker door closed. He grabbed my hand and dragged me to class. I put a big smile on my face and walked a little faster. I did not want anyone to see what happened.
We sat in our seats and waited for the bell to ring. Once the bell rang I opened my book and started to work on my homework. Edward was to busy talking to his friends. I finished my homework fast. I pretty much was just checking it over to make sure that I had everything right. I pulled out one of my notebooks and started to write a story. I wrote about what was going on in my life. I made sure that it was in one of my spare notebooks. I did not want anyone to see what I was doing. If Edward ever caught me I would be dead. He might beat me bad enough to kill me. In the long run that is what he might do because I am not strong enough to leave him. I will never leave him because even if he beats me I know that he loves me.
Once the bell rang Edward kissed my check and walked out the door with his friends. I got up and walked out it the hallway. One I did not want to be in the same room at Carlisle alone. I went to use the bathroom. In the bathroom, I looked down at my hand. I noticed that it turned purple. He had a really tight grip. I am surprised he did not break my hand again. After I was done using the bathroom I hurried up and went back to class. When I got back there was still two minutes until class started. Even if Carlisle was not the teacher history was one of my favorite subjects. I loved learning about the past. If becoming a surgeon did not work out I would want to do something with a history major. I would want to travel the world. I could just run away from my problems. When I sat back at my desk I noticed that the notebook I was not on my table. I started to panic. Where was it? Did someone read what I wrote? Should I be worried?
The bell rang and class started. It was an easy day. All we were going to do was to take notes. It was always a lot of writing but it made the day go by quicker. We only had five minutes left of class when we were finally done with the notes we were allowed to talk among ourselves. Carlisle asked me to stay after class. I told him that I would. I could ask him if he knew where my notebook was. Maybe he saw who took it. He was in the room the entire time. The bell rang a few minutes later. I walked up to his desk.
"You wanted to talk?" I asked him. I had all of my stuff in my hands.
He got up and closed the door after all the students were out of the room. "I wanted to know how you were doing? You have been distracted lately," he said sitting back down at his desk. He sat back in the chair and crossed his arms.
"I am doing great. I am just busy. You know how busy your senior year is." I said lying through my teeth.
"Okay, I just wanted to make sure. Also here is your notebook back. Someone was going to look at it." He said handing me the notebook. "If you are going to write stuff like that you should really make sure that it is closed. You don't want people to know."
"Thank you. I have to go to class." I said taking the notebook and walking out of the classroom. After that class, the day normally went by really fast. At lunch, Edward told me that he was going to be leaving school after the fifth hour. I told him okay. I was going to say something about him having my phone but I decided that it would have been a bad idea. Let's give him more reasons to be mad at me.
After lunch was done I told Edward goodbye and we went our separate ways. I knew that I was not going to be seeing him anymore today. Unless he came by after he was done with the tour. There was a little part of me that hoped it got canceled. I did not want him even thinking about becoming a doctor. That means I would never be able to live my own life. He would be doing everything that I was doing. It was about 10 minutes until school ended when I started to here the ran on the roof. Just my luck it was raining and I was going to have to walk home. I would have asked one of my friends but I have not been talking to them because Edward does not want me talking to anyone. Male or Female. If he had a choice he would lock me up in a tower and he would be the only one allowed there. It was a sad thing. I sighed and walked to my locker when the bell rang. I decided that I was going to stay here a little bit longer until the rain stopped. It downpouring. There was no way I was walking in that. I sat down by my locker and started to read the book I keep in my backpack.
I am not sure how long I sat there but I hear someone clear there throat at me.
"Bella what are you still doing here?" I heard Carlisle ask me.
"Edward forgot that he was not going to be able to take me home. So I was waiting for the raining to stop so I can walk home." I said standing up.
"Nobody can come and pick you up from school?" He asked me.
"No. My dad is in Seattle." I said to him. I put the book back in my bag. "It is really not a big deal. I don't mind."
"I can give you a ride home if you want." He said shrugging his shoulders.
I stood there and thought about it for a minute. I did not see the problem with it. Edward was in Seattle. There is no way he would find out about this. "Thank you. You are very kind." I said smiling.
"No problem. I said I would help you." He said digging in his pocket. "I forgot my keys in my room. I will be right back."
"I will just go with you," I said walking with him. "How did you forget your keys?"
"I have two sets. I have the school keys and my other keys. I only grabbed one set." He said unlocking his door. We both walked into the classroom. I closed the door and stood there waiting for him to grab his keys.
Carlisle walked up to me. "Did you apply to the colleges that you wanted to go to?" He asked.
"I did. I applied to Havard, Yale and Seattle University. I am kind of hoping to get my undergraduate at Yale and then go to Yale Medical school. I don't mind what school I get into." I said.
"That sounds like you have a plan and you are ready to start college." He said motioning for me to walk out the door.
"I am not fully ready. I have to graduate and get accepted first." I said walking out the door.
We walked all the way to where the teachers parked. It was on the other side of the school. We continued talking about what I was planning on doing after I graduated. Once we were in the car I gave him directions to my home. It was only a five-minute drive. It was a good thing about living in a small town. Everything was super close unless you needed something from the big city. I needed to go to the big city soon because I needed to get a prom dress. Also just a spa day. I liked doing that for myself when it was close to prom. I would probably go tomorrow. It is Saturday and I have nothing planned.
Once Carlisle had pulled up to the house I unbuckled my seat belt. "Thank you for bringing me home," I said to him.
He reached over and squeezed my hand. "Your welcome. If you need anything just message me." He said to me.
I quickly looked around to make sure that nobody was looking. I gave him a quick kiss on the lips. I could not help myself. I needed to feel his lips on mine again. "I will. I promise. Don't message my phone. Edward has it." I said getting out of the car and walking inside. I turned around and waved goodbye to him and then walked into the house. When I got inside my house I went upstairs to my room. I finished my homework. Once my homework was done I went downstairs to start making dinner. I would normally message my dad and ask him what he wanted but I did not have my phone. If he brought home dinner then we would just have extra food.
I got out all the stuff to make dinner. I was just going to make some burgers and fries. It was simple and it would keep in the fridge. I did not want to make something that was going to be complicated. I was almost done with dinner when my dad walked in. He did what he usually did and then walked into the kitchen.
"I was trying to get a hold of you but you were not answering me." My dad said to me.
I turned around. "I gave Edward my phone to hold on to and I forgot to get it back from him," I said to him. I put the food on the table. I was waiting on the fries to be done.
"That explains a lot." He said to me.
"It does. Sorry, dad."
"It's okay. Just make sure to get it back by Monday." He said sitting down.
"I am going to go to Seattle tomorrow. I was going to take a girls day and I needed to get a prom dress." I said taking the fries out and putting them in a dish. I set them on the table and sat down.
"Just be careful. I am going to be gone all day with Billy. I have not seen him in a while." He said digging into the food.
"Are you guys going to go fishing or watching a game?" I asked him.
"I think we are going to do some fishing," he said.
Once we were finished eating I cleaned up the kitchen and then went up to my room. I went and took a shower before getting ready for bed. When I was done with my shower I get dressed in the bathroom before walking into my room. When I walked in I saw that Edward was sitting on my bed.
"Edward I did not expect to see you tonight?" I said walking over and kissing him.
"I thought that you would want your phone back." He said smiling at me.
"It is not that important. Did you have a good visit to the hospital?" I asked him.
"It was good. I think that my dad has finally talked me into doing something good with my life. I don't want to be a surgeon but I am thinking about being a doctor." he said pulling me on his lap and kissing my neck.
"Edward my dad is downstairs," I said moving away from him.
"Are you telling me that you don't want me?" He said stalking towards me.
"I am just saying that my dad could walk upstairs any time," I said backing up out of my room.
He moved closer to me. I was out of my room and close to the stairs. If I moved back anymore then I would go tumbling down the stairs. He grabbed my arms and squeezed them.
"This is for you not listing to me." He said as he let go of my arms and pushed me down the stairs.
I yelp and I tumbled down the stairs. When I hit the bottom of the stairs I hit my head on the railing. All I heard before I blacked out was Edward running down the stairs asking me if I was alright and my dad crouching down asking me if I was alright. My dad looked at Edward and asked him what happened. Let see how quick he is to make up a lie.
