You're everything I thought you never were
And nothing like I thought you could've been
But still you live inside of me
So tell me how is that?

You're the only one I wish I could forget
The only one Id love to not forgive
And though you break my heart, you're the only one
And though there are times when I hate you
Cause I cant erase
The times that you hurt me
And put tears on my face
And even now while I hate you

Beyonce-Broken Hearted Girl


Angela was my life saver. I could never explain how grateful I am to have her in my life. Although I can't tell her what made me leave Forks, she really was an understanding person. I missed everybody back in Forks, I just hope the feeling was mutual. Hope, that was definitely something I needed.

My ribs were practically screaming at me in pain. My wrist was looked so abnormal looking along with my ankle. Then there is the bruises and the scars. I just couldn't believe he would do this to me. What did I do to deserve this? I just want an answer to my unsolved question. At first it was just verbal abuse, he would yell, threaten, and tell me off. Then it started with the emotional abuse, he called me ugly, he told me nobody cared about me, and then he told me I was worthless. It was all true sadly. Then it escalated to even worse stuff. The hitting, punching, kicking, pushing, and shoving. He always blamed it on the alcohol. The last time, he did this he was sober. He did it on purpose, he did it because it made him happy to see someone else in pain.

To some it up in a few words. My life sucks. Maybe I should just jump off a cliff like Jacob told me to.

I fell asleep after that, when I woke up there was a note by the night stand. I opened it and it was a note from Angela.

Bella,

I have class to attend. I left you some pancakes I made this morning on the kitchen island I also left on the kitchen island if you feel like going out.

Call or text if you need anything.

Love Angela.

I smiled Angela was so thoughtful. I decided it was time to get up. I went to the restroom in the guestroom and put on all my makeup that I needed to cover up all the bruises. When I was 'prensentable' I left the guest room. I ate my breakfast quietly and decided I needed some fresh air. I got Angela's car keys and drove to the local super market. I would make Angela and Ben dinner.

Now that I think about it. I shouldn't have ran off like I did. I was at the airport in Seattle, completely clueless. I decided to text Alice and ask her where would Bella go if she needed to go out of the state.

Does Bella have any other close friends outside of Washington?

Yes, she has a really close friend named ?

Where does Angela live?

I think she lives in Northern California.

What part in Northern California. There's tons of cities in Northern California.

I'm not sure, Bella was the one that always kept in touch with her. I know Angela is going to California State.

Okay thanks. Bye.

I was so frustrated that narrowed it down slightly. I ran a hand through my hair trying to calm down my nevers, I guess I was going to go on a road trip.

I went and bought an airline ticket and waited to what felt like eternity. I was going to find Bella.

Finally they called for flight and I was boarding the plane. I just really hope Bella was in California. I really needed to find her. I'm glad I had a picture of her in my pocket. I could see if people have seen Bella.

I couldn't sleep throughout the whole ride I was anxious to land.

We finally landed in LAX. I found a Budget in the airport and rented a blue Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder. It was sleek and had great speeds to it. I raced out towards the freeway and made my way to my first stop.

Fresno, California. Throughout the whole ride there I was thinking about ways to convince Bella to come back Forks, for whatever reason she decided to leave. Everybody would receive her with open arms. I knew that but did she?

I made the three hours and a half drive to Fresno from Los Angles in an hour and a half. I went twice the speed limit, I just didn't care at the moment. I was going to find my Bella.

When I exited out the freeway I made my way to the first supermarket I saw.

I went up to every person at the cashier stand and asked them same question. "Have you seen this girl?" They all shook their head and I gave them my phone number to call me if they saw her or anything along those lines.

I went to every single place in Fresno where Bella could of possibly entered. I finally reached the last supermarket in Fresno, when I was about to go up to this cashier and ask them the same question when I saw someone that looked familiar to me. I started walking forward to the familiar person, never leaving my eyes of her.

I was in the supermarket getting some lasagna pasta, tomato sauce, and meat to make Angela and Ben some lasagna tonight. I was at the check-out area when I felt someone was staring at me. I decided to turn around to see if I was just being paranoid or not. Right when I turned I knew I regretted that decision. I would recognize that strange bronze colored hair and sparkling green eyes anywhere. It was Edward. I felt the tears stinging in my eyes and threatening to spill. How did he know I was here? I opened my mouth to say something but he opened his mouth first. I left the cart full of stuff in the store and ran out. Edward was running out after me.

"Bella!" He shouted.

"Bella please wait." I got inside the car and backed up and made my way towards Angela's.

I noticed this blue sports car following me the whole way towards Angela's house. The windows were tinted dark so I couldn't get a glance of who it was. I didn't want to get out of the car. I just stood there waiting, for the blue sport car to leave. I was crying, I was scared what if it was Jacob here to hurt me again. It never left,I flinched when I heard someone knocking on the window of Angela's car and saw it was Edward.

"Bella, please open the door." He looked worried and defeated. I decided to open the door, and I got out.

"What do you want Edward?" I spat acidly. He flinched back at my tone.
"I want to talk to you, you need to come to Forks." He was pleading.

"I can't go back." I said softly, I didn't want him to hear the cracking in my voice. I was looking at the floor not really looking at him. His finger lifted my head to look at him. He looked so pained, why?

"Why can't you go back Bella?"

"I just can't go back."

He enveloped me in his arms, he applied some pressure into the hug and I winced in pain. He noticed it. He let me go and looked at me apologetically.

"Bella, please talk to me." I couldn't look away from his beautiful green eyes. I had tears falling down my face. I winced every time Edward would touch my bruise on my face. I guess the make-up I had on wasn't water proof because I heard Edward take a big intake of air when he notice my bruise on my face.

"How... did you get.. that bruise on your face?" He asked shakily. Was I ready to tell him what happened or not?

E POV

When I hugged Bella, she winced at the slight pressure. I decided to let her go, she looked so depressed and in pain. I've noticed every time someone put the a tad bit of pressure on her she would wince in pain. I wonder why? Somehow I think Jacob had something to do with this.

Bella was crying and I decided to wipe all her tears, she winced every time I touched her face. Then I discovered something shocking on her face. There was a huge bruise there that was covered with tons of make-up. I felt like all the air was taken out of my lungs and I couldn't breathe.

"How... did you get.. that bruise on your face?" I asked her shakily. She looked conflicted, as if she wasn't sure if to answer my question or not.

A car pulled up at that moment. I didn't recognize the couple in the car, but Bella did. She sighed. A woman somewhere in her early 20s came out of the car and gasped when she saw the horrible bruise on Bella's face.

"Bella! How did you get that bruise on your face?" The woman asked. Bella looked troubled.

"Can we talk about this inside Angela?"

"Of course."

"Angela, I'd like you to meet my friend Edward."

"Edward, this is Angela." So this was Bella's friend she seemed nice.

"Your welcome to come inside." I tentatively entered the house. Bella and I were sitting on a couch opposite to Angela and this other guy who I assumed was Angela's boyfriend.

"Bella. How did you get that bruise?" Angela asked again.

"I..." Bella looked stuck she wasn't sure what to say. I was dying to know how this happened.

Bella opened her mouth again but nothing came out. She looked lost, I wanted to take away all her pain. I rather be the one in pain fifty times more than I already am just to take hers away. I took her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. She looked at me and she smiled.

"Bella is this the reason why you came to stay here?" Angela asked.

Bella nodded her head, nothing came out of her mouth. It was like she lost her voice.

I decided to look at her arms to see if there was another bruise on her arm. She looked scared when she saw me rolling her sleeve from her shirt. I was right, there was a couple more bruises on her arm.

"Who did this to you Bella?" I was shaking with anger. I wanted to hurt the person who hurt my Bella so badly.

She seemed to contemplate on whether on not to answer my question. She took a big intake of air and opened her mouth to say something. Angela and I were both on the edges of the couch to hear everything Bella was about to tell us.
