A/N: 3/7/2015 Original Chapter 11. I changed the end of the flashback in this chapter, soif you've read this story before March 2015, I would suggest you go back and reread this chapter.

Before I could even think to turn and run, I was engulfed in a huge hug.

"Bella." The voice cooed. The usual hard tone was replaced with one of loving compassion. It sent chills down my spine. "You are here."

I just nodded my head while Rosalie continued to hug me.

"Rose, she's not going to run away. You can let go now." Emmett said behind me. I was thankful for him, Rosalie is a lot stronger than she looks and her hugs are a close second to Emmetts bear hugs. But no one will ever beat the hugs E…..he gave me. I could feel the tears start to well up in my eyes. Memories floating freely through my skull. I didn't want to be here. This is not where I belong. This house belongs to the glamourous, drop dead gorgeous vampires, and isn't fit for such a plain, mediocre human like myself.

"Come on Bells," Emmett whispered in my ear, snapping me out of my daze. Rose had moved to the side of the door waiting for me to pass through.

Deep breath Bella, I told myself.

You can do this.

One foot after another, I slowly enter the Cullens home. It was just like I remembered it. Nothing out of place, and everything had a shine.

Once I was a few feet inside, I just stood there. I wasn't sure what I should do. I wasn't even sure why I was here. I just knew Emmett wanted me to see Carlisle.

Emmett walks to the stairs, looking back at me with a look that tells me to follow.

"Come on Bells. Carlisle is in his office. Everyone else is out hunting." He sadly said. My feet start to move by their selves and I was walking up the stair case with Rose on my heels.

It was strange. Rosalie always hated me. She would never talk to me unless she had too, and even then it was only to say something rude. Yet, she gave me a warmer welcome than Emmett.

"Bella," Rose said when we reach the top of the stairs. "I need to tell you something before you go in there."

I stop and turn around.

"I'm sorry." She whispers in a defeated tone. "I've been nothing but rude and mean to you. You don't deserve that. No one deserves to be treated how I treated you. I'm sorry it took something so…tragic to make me realize that. I've finally see what my family see's in you. Honestly, I was jealous. You had the thing I wanted more than anything, and yet you were willing to throw it all away. I was just so mad that I didn't stop to see why. Looking back, I would take being a vampire over a human any day if it meant I could spend it all with Emmett. And I can, so I'm sorry I treated you like an outcast. "

Tears where streaming down my face, I never thought Rosalie would say something like that to me. I didn't know what to do, so I continued walking to Calisle's office.

Carlisle had a nice office. It was full of books, and had a large oak desk that set in front of a big window overlooking the forest. As I walk in, Emmett walks out, closing the door behind him.

"Bella. Please have a seat." Carlisle said, gesturing to the chair in front of his desk. I took the seat. "Emmett already told me what happened earlier today while you were at school."

I gulped. This is definitely not something I want to discuss with my ex-almost –father-in-law.

"I just need to ask you some questions and make sure you are okay." He breathed. "Has this ever happened before?"

"Uh." I swallow. "Define before."

"Bella has anyone ever laid a hand on you to purposely hurt you before?" Carlisle replied.

"Well, they've tripped me before," I close my eyes. "and they've pushed me around some. It's not a big deal though. I'm okay."

"Okay." He mummurs while looking down at his feet. "Who are they? Remember, anything you tell me in here will stay between you and me. Rose and Emmett are out of hearing distance."

"Some kids at school. Mostly Lauren, and Jessica. But sometimes Mike and Tyler." I look at my feet, and focus on evening out my breathing.

"Why did they hit you?" He asks.

"I don't know. They were just saying some stuff, and it just kinda happened. I didn't hit them first if that's what you are wondering." I start to pick at my finger nails, chipping old purple polish off in tiny flecks.

"What did they say?" Carlisle asks.

Silence. No way was I telling him.

"Where did they hit you?" He asks once he realizes I was not going to reply to his previous question.

"My head, my stomach, and my chest. They….they kicked my ribs a lot too." I falter.

"Isabella, can you please remove your shirt so I can see more of the damage?" He asks switching from Carlisle, my ex-soul mates' dad, to Dr. Carlisle Cullen.

"Carlisle, I don't want to be rude, but I am fine. I'm a little banged up, but I'll be fine after a few days rest and some sleep." I reply. I couldn't let him see me. I couldn't let him see all that disgusting fat hanging from my body. I couldn't let him see the scars. I couldn't let him see me.

"Isabella, you may feel fine, but I just need to make sure no ribs are broken. It's for your benefit." He said in a monotone. I could tell he didn't feel like fighting with me. "Let's be a little realistic. I am a vampire doctor; I could sedate you and check you over before you had time to reach the door. Asking is only a courtesy. "

I look up at him in shock. I cannot believe he just said that. I would expect things like that from Emmett, but never Carlisle.

I look into his eyes, silently pleading with my own, but I could see that he stood firm on what he said, and would do it if he had too.

Feeling defeated, I slowly stand up while lifting the hem of my oversized long sleeved black shirt over my head and pull my arms out of the sleeves. I drop it beside the chair onto the floor. I couldn't look Carlisle in the eye as he looks over me. Closing my eyes, I focus all my attention on trying not to cry. Yet, small tears still manage to escape out of the corners of my eyes.

I could feel Carlisle's cold hands lightly pressing onto my ribs, every now and then I would wince.

"Bella, could you please turn around so I can see your back?" He asked.

Once I turn around, Carlisle begins his examination on my back. Tears were streaming down my face more freely now.

I shiver as Carlisle's ice cold hands ghost down my spine. The tears were threatening to break the dam I had worked so hard to build. I felt so small, and defeated as a loud sob escapes my lips. I couldn't help but shake as tears were streaming down my face.

Flashback

Charlie was so worried about me. He always said that I was becoming too distant, he was threatening to send me to Florida. But I couldn't let that happen.

"Char….Dad,uh...can we talk about this tomorrow? I kinda told Jessica I'd hang out with her tonight." I whispered, unsure if my father could hear my shallow tone of voice. "If that's alright of course, it's kind of last minute and…."

"Bella, that's great. Of course you can go. That Stanley girl is a good kid. I like her," Charlie replied with brighter eyes as he reached into his pocket." Here you go kiddo."

I said my good byes as I took the $30 and headed out to my ancient Ford. I quickly pocketed the money as I made the short drive over to Jessica's house. I really hoped she wouldn't mind. Shit Bella, she probably has plans, I thought as I parked outside her house.

That's how I ended up here. I was at a house party in Port Angles, stumbling around like a drunk idiot. I didn't even know where I was going. I was just trying to get somewhere, but where?

Next thing I knew I was outside. I was in the back yard by the tree line.

It all happened so quick. One second I was swaying on my feet, staring up at the sky trying to see the stars. Then the next second I was on the ground staring up at this guy. I couldn't make out his face. I could only tell it was a guy from his short brown shaggy hair. He was telling me something, I just couldn't understand.

…..

"What are you doing?" I whispered when I realized this boy….this man was on top of me.

"Oh baby, you know exactly what I'm doing." This man slurred into my ear. His hands were everywhere at the same time.

I screamed as his mouth crashed on top of mine. Smothering me as his tongue forced his way into my mouth. My arms felt heavy as I pushed against his chest.

He covered my mouth with his hand as his mouth started to attack my neck.

Somehow, he managed to get my cardigan and shirt off.

He was stroking his calloused hand up and down my exposed spine, lingering on the clasp of my bra. I knew I had to think fast as he tried to unhook my bra with one hand.

I just kept telling myself that it wasn't supposed to be this way. My first time was supposed to be special and I wanted to be with Edward. Even though I knew it Edward would never have me, I gathered my courage and brought my knee up into the guys groin.

"YOU BITCH!" He yelled as I scrambled away from him grabbing my shirt as I ran back towards the house.
