It took up all my courage to just get out of the truck. I knew I was in for it. I haven't been late in years. The last time I was beaten nearly half to death. God, I hope that doesn't happen.

I sucked it up and walked to the door. I thought about running, but that would do me no good. I'm sure he would find me and literally kill me. I opened the door and stepped inside. I thought the coast was clear so I headed for the stairs to the safety of my room.

''Isabella, where do you think you're going.'' Great. He's drunk. That's not good for the situation I'm in. I sighed. ''Yes daddy?'' I made sure to emphasize the word ''daddy''.

''You're late.'' Gee, really? Didn't notice. I nodded. ''I'm sorry'' By the look of anger on his face I knew I had set him off.

''YOU FORGOT. HOW COULD YOU FORGET? I WAS SO LOOKING FORWARD TO A HOT COOKED MEAL. BUT WHAT DO I GET? NOTHING, ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING!'' He slapped me and I fell to the kicked me in the ribs and I heard a faint crack.

He picked me up and threw me against the wall. I slid down and whimpered in pain. I could most likely tell my ankle was at least sprained. He continued kicking me until he finally left. I felt relief wash over me as I thought he was done.

But, imagine my shock when he came back with a baseball bat. He laughed darkly as he brought the baseball bat on my ankle. I screamed in pain, for the ankle that was sprained. He continued to beat me. He beat me until the bat broke on my arm. He slapped once more before he passed out on the couch.

I crawled up the stairs to my bathroom. I looked into the mirror to see the damage. I had a huge cut on my forehead from being thrown against the wall. My arm had bruises and splinters from the bat. My ankle had swelled 3 times its size. I was going to have to stay home from school tomorrow so my ankle can heal properly.

I hopped in the shower real quick to clean up. I got out, got dressed in my pajamas, and let sleep over take me.

I was right. Bella did drive me crazy. I decided to run home. I had Alice drive my Volvo home because she is the only one I trust with it.

The run home helped me clear my mind. But it didn't take Bella off my mind. I got home and went to my piano. I stretched my fingers over the keys and played. I played a new piece that I had just come up with right then and there. I quickly realized that I was thinking of her while I played. I knew that this was going to be Bella's Lullaby. I went up to my room to listen to some music. Debussy is my favorite of all time. Emmett says it's to ''classical'' but I tend to disagree. After all I was born in 1901. I let myself get lost in the music until I heard a knock at the door. It was Alice

''Edward, we're all going hunting. Do you want to come with us? Carlisle and Esme aren't coming with. Carlisle has a late shift at the hospital and Esme is doing some redecorating.'' I went this morning but it wouldn't hurt to go again. Not after today, that's for sure. ''Yes.''

I got up and met my family downstairs. We headed out and raced to the forest. Emmett and Jasper challenged me to a contest. Whoever killed the most wins. I let my nose guide me. I smelled a herd of deer coming this way. I drained two of them. Emmett and Jasper got the rest. I smelled my all favorite : mountain lion. I hurried so it wouldn't get away. I saw it and it growled at me. Like a mountain lion would scare me. It lunged at me and I caught it with ease. It clawed and snapped at me. I decided to put it out of its misery.

I quickly snapped its neck. I bit into his neck and let the warm, sweet, and sticky blood ooze down my throat. I got a few more bears and was satisfied. I looked down at my clothes. Now usually I am a clean eater, but today my clothes were torn and bloody. Alice would kill me. Well, actually she can't really kill me, but you know what I mean.

I raced back to where we were supposed to meet.

''Ok guys how many did you get? I got 7.'' Emmett said.

''8'' Jasper said. Emmett whined.

''9'' I said. This time they both whined.

They huffed and took off for home. Alice and Rose were laughing. I raced back home with them laughing also. When we got back home we found them playing video games, still pouting. I rolled my eyes and went to watch. All of the sudden I saw Alice's vision she was having at the moment.

Vision

Bella was walking through the door. Beer bottles everywhere.

She tried to race upstairs, but she was too late.

''Isabella.'' A guy walked through the hallway obviously drunk. ''Yes, daddy.'' Ah, so this man was her father.

''Your late.'' He said. ''I'm sorry, I forgot.'' Bella said. This apology set him off.

''YOU FORGOT! YOU KNOW I LIKE A NICE HOT MEAL WHEN I GET HOME. AND WHAT DID I GET? NOTHING! ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING!'' He picked her up and slammed her against the wall. He continued to beat her until he left.

Relief washed over her face but that soon vanished, for he came back with a baseball bat. He beat and beat her until the bat broke on her arm. He slapped her once more before he passed out on the couch.

End Vision

I had never felt more anger than I had in my entire existence. How could anybody do that to an angel? I then realized something.

I was in love with Bella Swan.
