"He does?" Bella asked me while the tears begin to race down her cheeks.
"Hey, of course he does, you're his baby sister, why wouldn't he love you?" I reply.
"Can we go to your house? I want to tell you about Renee." Bella says, shocking me.
"O, yeah, sure." When I look up I realise we didn't go too far just a little ways down the street so we cross over and head back to my house.
"Hey, Rose? Emmett isn't here is he?" Bella asks and I can tell she doesn't want anyone else to hear what she has to say just yet.
"No he's at work, and Jasper is probably still asleep in his room." I tell her.
"Ok. So umm, I guess you can tell that I don't like Renee very much even though she gave birth to me huh?" Bella says to me but all I can do is nod, I don't know what else to say. Then she takes her scarf off and pulls the sleeves of her jumper up and I involuntarily gasp when I see her arms and neck. "When Emmett left us, Renee wasn't happy, she blamed me and said that I forced him to go, that I wasn't a good sister or daughter. Charlie tried his best to help but he had to work or we would have ended up on the street. I remember the day she started to hurt… to hurt me…" Bella trails off, her eyes hard and cold as she remembers what this woman did to her. She stays quiet for a while but then we both hear Jasper coming down the stairs.
"Hey Rose, what cereal do…" Jasper starts to ask when he walks into the living room and sees Bella on the couch next to me. Bella pulls the arms of her jumper down and puts her scarf back around her neck but I can tell that it's too late; Jasper saw everything that I did.
"Ummmm… hi Jasper." Bella says awkwardly, looking at the floor.
"Bella, what... what happened to you?" Jasper asks slowly.
"Ok, you might want to sit down." Bella sighs as she takes her scarf off once again and pulls her jumper off completely, I notice that she has a plain vest on underneath. "Sorry, Rose, I'm going to start again." Bella says to me.
"Would you like something to drink?" Jasper says before Bella can say anything else, Bella smiles at him but it doesn't reach her eyes.
"No, I just want to get this over and done with, but you can't tell Emmett, at least not yet. Promise me you won't tell him?" Bella looks at me and then Jasper with pleading eyes, and I nod in agreement, and then turn to Jasper.

Don't tell Emmett? How can I not tell Emmett, it's obvious something bad happened and he would want to know, right? But she's pleading with me. Sigh.
"Ok. I won't tell him yet." I tell her emphasizing the 'yet'.
"Thank you." Bella says, "Well like I said to Rose, you can probably tell that I don't like Renee very much even though she gave birth to me?" she continues and I nod at her to continue, did Renee hurt her? "When Emmett left us, Renee wasn't happy, she blamed me and said that I forced him to go, that I wasn't a good sister or daughter. Charlie tried his best to help but he had to work or we would have ended up on the street. I remember the day she started to hurt… to hurt me…" Well that answers that then. Damnit, if I told Emmett, he would blame himself. I notice that Bella's normally warm chocolate brown eyes hard turned hard and cold, like a mask to cover the emotions underneath.
Bella sighs and then continues, "It was on somebody's birthday, but I don't remember who's." Bella says, scrunching her eyes trying to think. "It was in July, ummmm I think it was July 15th the year after Emmett left that she started to use violence." Bella stopped to take a shaky breath.
"That's Emmett's birthday." Rosalie says.
"That makes sense." Bella nods to herself. "Well that day Charlie was on a double shift, he wouldn't be home till morning and Renee was mad I think because Emmett hadn't come home yet. Whenever she looked at me, she got angrier and angrier. After a while she said, 'it should've been you. You should've run away. This family was perfect before you came.' I was only 5 years old. I started to cry and then she stormed up to me and slapped me across my face for the first and last time. She didn't want Charlie to catch her. Then she grabbed me by my arms and pulled me upstairs and into a room I hadn't been in before." Bella stops again but this time she looks thoughtful. "I guess it was Emmett's old room before he left. Anyway, Renee then throws me onto the floor and I spot a scrunched up piece of paper under the bed." Bella reaches into her pocket and hands something to Rose and Rose gasps while looking at it. "It was a note from Emmett. I never showed it to Renee, I was too scared, but I did show Charlie and he tried to look for him all over again the next day."
Rose passes the paper to me and I look down to see the note from Emmett.
Dear Isabella,
Your my beautiful baby sister and I will always love you, but I cannot be with you right now, too much has happened, and mom and dad just wouldn't understand, I will leave a trail for you to find me, but only you can find the trail, only my sister.
I'm so sorry that I cannot be there for you on your birthday, to watch you grow every year, to beat up the boys that hurt you, but always know that a part of me will always be with you no matter how far apart we are. We will see each other again someday. But it may not be for a while. Tell mom I love her; tell dad I'll miss him. I love you so much little sister, and I will miss you more than anything else in the whole world.
Lots of love
Your brother bear
Emmie: Emmett.
I look up at Bella and ask "Emmie?"
"That's what I used to call him; I remember that I couldn't pronounce his name, so I said Emmie instead. I didn't know who that was until yesterday." Bella smiled, then sighed and looked down.
Review people, it'll help to know what you guys are thinking.
