Lost Inside Her Mind

Chapter 9

Jared POV

Today was my day with Bella. I was excited to get to know her. I have the whole day planned out. We are going to stay on the res but just slightly more privacy so Bella won't freak out. Well I hope not anyway.

"Come on Bella we are going to take a walk down to second beach." I swear I just whined.

"O-okay Jared." Bella whispered.

I remember clearly from last nights meeting with my brothers 'under no circumstance ask anything about Phoenix' though I didn't understand why. Seth said when he asked Bella she almost shut down. We are trying to break through her walls to help not help make more of them.

"So Bella tell me about yourself." I figured it would be easier then trying to figure out what questions triggered her to shut down.

Bella POV

I don't know what to tell Jared. He'll probably hate me later though so should I really care.

"There is n-not much to t-tell. Renee was/is a b-bad woman that married Phil who was/is e-even worse. I don't have any friends so I-I just don't know h-how to act. I o-only went to school a f-few weeks out of t-the year. I did past m-my classes. So y-you don't have a d-dumb s-sister." I stuttered.

"Ok stop right there.' I flinched back at his tone. 'You are smart and what they did doesn't matter. You are here and safe." Jared said giving me a hug.

"O-okay J-Jared." I whispered.

Jared POV

Just great! Renee and Phil need to be shot for doing this to her. Ugh now how do I fix this.

"Let's go down to the beach I brought us lunch so we could have a picnic." I told Bella

"S-sure." Bella whispered.

I think I might as well call Paul and Sam down here. Maybe Bella would feel better and I could use the help. This was not going like I had planned.

Paul POV

I had just picked up the phone when Sam walked in.

"Jared toady is suppose to be yours and Bella's day together." I reminded him and caught Sam's attention.

"What happened?" Sam shouted at me.

"Bella is starting to close up again so Jared called to see if we could come down and help." I told Sam.

Sam started to pace that stopped abruptly and nodded in my direction. So I quickly told Jared we were on our way. Bella should not have suffered this abuse and insecurities.

Sam POV

I thought things were starting to look up but I guess I spoke to soon. As Paul and I were walk to the beach I was trying to figure out how to Bella.

"I think from now on we make this a group thing so she has support and we have help if she breaks down." I quickly told Paul as we spotted Jared and Bella.

Bella looked so tiny wrapped in Jared's arms as she trembled in fear. There has to be something we can do.

A/N: Don't worry the next few chapter will still be about Bella and her brothers but now it will be a group effort. Stay tuned!
