A/N: Happy Thursday everyone! I am sorry for the delay in posting but life happened! Wednesday and most of today were crazy. I am grateful that my family and I are home.
Something I didn't realize, this week is Feeding Tube Awareness Week (February 4-8, 2019). As the Proud Mama of a fabulous tubie, I am blessed for the technology that makes it so my 6 month old son is able to get the nutrition he needs to grow to the boy he needs to be. If you want more information on feeding tubes, feel free to PM me and I will answer as soon as possible.
So, how about those THREE amazing chapters I posted the other day? Really! Edward is just a peach right? Charlie, he made mistakes and he owns up to them. And second part of Paul's long chapter. Are we still Team Emmett or are we starting to be Team Paul? Let me know!
Thanks for being my beta itsmereading! Love you hun! twi nana, thank you for your comments and checking on me. Thanks also lazygirl89 for your comment. And now, Jacob

Bella had been in a great mood all day. Most of the week actually. I was really proud of her until Emmett came by today. He seemed off and kept staring at me like I was a threat to him and Bella and I think she noticed. Dude. She just got out of a long ass term relationship that lasted most of her life with a guy who abused her regularly. Let her find herself before you try to pounce on her. At least Paul isn't trying to go on strong. I love Bells, but she needs space. She needs A BROTHER. Not a LOVER. Which I will be.
After she gave Paul her journals, she broke down. I held her while she cried until she cried herself to sleep. While not the most comfortable, I will not move til she does. She's half hanging on me with her head on my chest listening to my heart. I play with her hair to soothe herself and me. I am too wired to sleep. My Dad came and checked on us around dinner time about an hour and a half later. She was still asleep. A tear fell from his eye as he blew her an air kiss and left the room. I knew he would leave us alone. He just wants his little girl to be alright as I want my sister to be okay.
Paul came and checked on her not long after. He looked like he had been pulled into hell. He showed me one of the pictures- one of at least 100. Angela Webber would take them after every beating she could come over or get to the nurses office. The one Emmett witnessed, there was barely a spot on her that didn't bruise. He showed me who saw it and who did anything. It was done in the hallway between classes. Two teachers, Mr. Banner and Mr. Molina, and two students tried to intervene. Mike Newton and a kid named Tyler Crowley tried to step in. Jasper was at a doctors appointment at the time so he wasn't involved. Angela tried to get other teachers or police involved. Would you believe Angela, Mike and Tyler were blamed and got suspended? Charlie knew about this but never filed any reports on it. Neither did any other officers and there were five plus Charlie on duty that day. Three present at the time. Chief Swan, and Officers Laurent Da Revin, James Witherdale and Victoria Sutherland were present. They did nothing. The other two at the hospital as there was a stabbing. Officers Jared Cameron and Seth Clearwater were the only ones not present and could not be accountable. Of course, a La Push boys. I was boiling. Emmett plays like he loves her. How can you love someone and let them be abused?
