A/N: Hey everybody, new chapter! I have a 4 day weekend so I can update more now. Yay!

I reached for the door knob, unsure of what was to come. I took a deep breath and turned it. I stepped into the hallway, and down the stairs. I walked down the stairs, careful not to trip or fall.

I saw two beer bottles in the hallway. I hope he hasn't been drinking. But, you know how Charlie is. I took another deep breath and walked into the living room. He was laying on the couch watching a basketball game.

"Yes, dad? You wanted me." I said carefully, making sure not to say the wrong thing. He sat up slowly.

"Isabella." He repeated. He walked over to me and grabbed me by the hair. Edward was upstairs. Why did he have to do this now.

Charlie smacked me upside the head. He then pushed me to the ground and stomped on my legs. I whimpered, hoping Edward didn't interfere. He then picked me and threw me against the wall, and then passed out.

I crawled upstairs to my personal god. When I reached the top of the stairs, I stood up ignoring the screaming pain in my leg, and walked to my door. I made sure not to limp. I walked into the bedroom to find a very angry Edward.

"It was fine Edward, he only wanted to talk to me." I lied. I knew he wouldn't buy it, but why not try, right?

"Damn it Bella, I heard everything! I told you people don't change overnight. Bella, I want you to tell on Charlie and come live with me and my family." What? No. I couldn't do that to Charlie. No one would believe me anyway.

"NO! I mean no Edward. I can't do that to Charlie." He sighed.

"Please Bella. I don't want you to get hurt any more. When you get hurt, I get hurt. At least try. For me." I thought about it. Edward only wanted what was best for me. I nodded my head.

"Fine, but can we do it tomorrow, I'm tired." He came over to me and laid down with me. He hummed some tune that put me right to sleep.

After I left Bella's, I went home to change and hunt. Alice ambushed me as soon as I walked on the door.

"Edward! How's Bella? Tell me!" I laughed at her hyperness.

"She is fine, Alice." My voice turned serious. "But, I'm really worried about her. What if she gets seriously injured? I'll have no one to blame, but myself and Charlie of course." Alice stopped bouncing.

"Edward, this is not your fault. This is only Charlie's fault. This is his fault because he chose to do this to sweet Bella. Understand?" I nodded my head and went to go hunt.

I went into the woods and let my nose guide me. I smelt some deer along the thick part of the woods. I sneaked my way over to my pray and pounced on them.

After I drained them, I wasn't satisfied yet. So, I smelled the trail to see if I could find any mountain lion. I was almost to the border when I smelled them.

They were eating some little animal they caught. I quietly sneaked up behind them and snapped both their necks before they could turn around.

Finally satisfied, I went home to change.

After showering and changing, I ran to Bella's house. I climbed the tree that led up to her room. The window was opened so I leaped through.

Bella was sitting on her bed, looking adorable in her SpongeBob pajamas. She blushed and made room for me. I asked her if Charlie tried anything, but she said no. I sighed in relief. I was playing with her hair when her father called to her.

I tensed up, but she told me to calm down.

"Edward, he is just calling me down, Ok. Even if he does hit me, don't come downstairs. It will only make it worse, ok?" How could I just let her be beaten like that? I started to protest and she shushed me. She was right it would make things worse if I interfered.

She left and went downstairs. I heard them talking and then it was silent. Then I heard a SLAP. I got angry. Then I heard a bang. Then a whimper. I really did get really angry that time. How could anyone do that to such an innocent angel?

I heard snoring, which probably meant he passed out. A few minutes later, Bella came in. I was beyond angry.

"It was fine Edward. He only wanted to talk to me." Like she expected me to believe that.

"Damn it Bella. I heard everything! I told you people don't change overnight! Bella, I want you to tell on Charlie and come live with me and my family." Confusion crossed over her beautiful features.

NO! I mean no, Edward. I can't do that to Charlie." What does she mean? He has done nothing but abuse her. There's Bella for you. Always unselfish.

"Please Bella. I don't want you to get hurt any more. When you get hurt, I hurt. At least try. For me. Please." I pleaded her. She nodded her head.

"But, can we do it tomorrow, I'm tired."

I went over to her bed, cradled me in her arms and sung her lullaby to her until she fell asleep.

This left me time to think. Tomorrow, we would go to school and then go to the police station. Earlier she told me Charlie was off, so we could do it then.

After that, we would go to her house collect all her stuff and go to my house.

Knowing Alice, she already had a room for Bella.

But, just to be sure I took out my phone to text Alice.

But, as soon as I was ready to send the message I got a new one.

No worries Edward, it's all taken care of. Bella's room is all set up. I can't wait to play Bella Barbie with her!

I chuckled and closed my phone. There's Alice for you. The fashion monster. I would try and stop Bella to go on one of those horrific shopping trips. My phone vibrated then.

Don't even try it Edward. You won't make it out alive.

I chuckled again and closed my phone.

"Edward, My Edward."
