A/N: Sorry, I know I promised to update yesterday, but I'm really sick and I had a bad headache all day! I still do, but I feel really bad that I haven't updated, so here's a really long chapter! Happy late Valentine's Day!

BPOV

It had been a few weeks since I got out of the hospital. Surprisingly, Charlie hadn't been home much. Whenever he was home, the worst I got was some bruised ribs or a broken wrist.

I knew that it couldn't possibly last. Nothing good ever does. If he hasn't been beating me that just means it will be 10 times worse when he actually does, because he'll have all that pent up anger.

But I don't care right now. I'm trying to savor the peacefulness.

Jacob hasn't returned any of my phone calls since he so abruptly left the room that night. Billy always tells me that he's out with friends, and that he'll tell him that I called. Something was obviously wrong with him.

Alice and I have become closer, but I still haven't had a thought about telling her. My guess is that she would be even pushier than Carter to make me tell someone.

But who would I tell anyway? The police? Charlie is the police chief. If anything, his friends at the station would help him.

Besides, if I told anyone, they would be put into too much danger if Charlie ever found out. I already did that to Carter, and I'll feel guilty forever.

Edward still seemed to avoid me, but at least he stayed at the lunch table when I sat with them and sometimes talked to me during Biology. I know it was stupid, because he was like a god while I'm a dirty Plain Jane, but I couldn't help but secretly like him. Not that Charlie would ever allow me to have a boyfriend anyway.

I got dressed for the day, and then went downstairs after seeing that Charlie's cruiser wasn't in the driveway. I grabbed a pop tart and went to my truck.

I saw Carter and gave him a hug. He looked happy to see that I wasn't any worse than yesterday. We walked to homeroom together. Everything was normal until lunch…

EPOV (yay!)

I was in my room thinking about…Bella.

Yes, I know, she's a human and I'm a vampire. But that doesn't change how intoxicating her scent is to me, or how intriguing I find her. I sighed, knowing I could never risk her life to be with her. But maybe we could still be friends…

Alice keeps insisting that she sees us together…eventually. That is the only part of Bella's future that she can see, or that isn't extremely fuzzy.

I'm worried about her, but Alice has warned me that by going to her house to check on her, I'll just become more attached to her. I don't want that. If I have to be hurt I will, but she can't be.

"EDWARD!!!" Alice screamed. "GET DOWN HERE! WE'RE LEAVING FOR SCHOOL!!!"

I sighed and ran downstairs at vampire speed.

"You really needed to scream, Alice. I couldn't have heard you if you didn't," I commented sarcastically.

Alice just smirked. We got into my Volvo and left. I got out and saw Bella hugging Carter. My spirits fell. Jasper looked at me questionably, but I just looked away.

The day went on as normal. When I got to the lunch table, Bella and Alice were talking. Jasper and Emmett were talking about video games, and Rose was staring at the wall. I sat down and Bella looked up. A gave her a small smile, which she returned before looking back at Alice.

I was thinking about how beautiful Bella's eyes were, when Alice suddenly gasped. I could tell she was having a vision. Bella looked worried.

"Alice?!?" Bella said frantically.

Alice suddenly pulled out of the vision and looked at Bella.

"Sorry," she said, forcing a smile. "I guess I was just zoning."

Jasper looked at her, but she just whispered, "Later," so low that Bella couldn't possibly hear. I tried to get into her head to see what happened, but she was singing show tunes to keep me out.

I gave her an annoyed look, which she returned. She looked at me for a minute, and then did something that I didn't expect.

"Edward and I have a dentist appointment today, so we're leaving right after lunch. We really should be going now. Bye Bella!" she gave her a hug. "Call me if you need anything. You can call Carlisle too…" Bella gave her a frightened look, but then smiled.

"Thanks, Alice, I will."

"Come on, Edward," Alice murmured.

We went to the office, signed ourselves out, and walked into the woods. Then we ran home. I was dying to know what she saw that was so important that she couldn't show me at school, but I had to be patient.

We walked into the living room. Esme was in her studio, designing our next house, but she didn't seem surprised to find us home. Maybe Alice texted her.

Alice looked nervous. "Ok, Edward. No matter what, you have to promise me that you won't freak out. Promise?"

"Yes, Alice! Now just tell me," I said impatiently.

With that, she stopped singing and I saw her vision. I watched it in horror, but unable to stop.

(A/N- I was going to leave it like that but I'm being nice today!)

It was Charlie. Punching Bella repeatedly, kicking her, and throwing her against the wall. He took a knife and stabbed her, making her blood flow out at an alarmingly fast pace.

He grabbed her by her hair and dragged her up the stairs, only to let her go and fall when he was at the top.

I was growling loudly without noticing. All of a sudden, the vision cut off. Alice was telling me to calm down.

Calm down?!?! How can she tell me that when the girl that I love was being slowly killed right before my eyes?!

Wait, love?

A/N- Well there's your longer chappie! I'll probably update tomorrow because we don't have school. R&R!!! I expect at least 10!!!
