A/N Thank you so much for your awesome reviews, they make me smile. I AM SO SORRY FOR THE WAIT FAN FIC IS BEING STUPID, THAT OR MY LAP TOP! I DONT REALLY KNOW WHICH! SORRY!!

To say I was a bit scared was an understatement. Alice had that manic glint in her eyes that made me shiver and want to hide in my closet.

"Alice, no!" I tried to sound forceful.

"Just a quick makeover Bella, two hours max!" Two. Hours.

"I'll just be going to sleep after so what's the point?" I was pleading now.

"The point is that I want to and it's fun and just please Bella?" She tried to give me puppy dog eyes but I turned away just before.

"Alice, I rock at puppy dog eyes so don't even try." She snickered.

"I doubt you can beat me." I sighed before unleashing my eyes on her.

"Oh wow, stop Bella. Ok I get it you rock, please stop!" I stopped and she glared at me.

"So, no makeover?" I asked. She sighed.

"Fine, tomorrow is a new day though." With that she backed out of the bathroom so I could change.

"Hey Alice!" I yelled. "Is it ok if I shower?" I asked.

"No I'm going to make you stay all dirty and smelly!" She yelled back sarcastically. I giggled.

"Thanks Alice!" I locked the door and began to strip off. I turned on the awesome power shower before stepping into the hot jet of water. I sighed and began to lather my favourite strawberry shampoo into my hair.

I spent about fifteen minutes in the amazing shower before stepping out into the steam filled room. I found a towel and wrapped it around me and looked for my pyjamas which consisted of a pair of old slacks and a tank top. What I found in their place however, was a silky night gown. Alice! That little pixie would pay.

"ALICE CULLEN GET YOUR BACKSIDE UP HERE NOW! AND BRING MY SLACKS AND TANK TOP!" I yelled in what I hoped was a threatening voice. Alice's tinkling laughter and Emmet's booming one drifted from downstairs.

"But Bella you will look totally cute in that night gown!" She called back in a sing song voice.

"I won't leave this room until I have my slacks!" Then she was stood in front of me and quickly looked me over. Unfortunately the towel I had only covered me from my knees to under my arms.

"ALICE!" I yelled. She grinned at me.

"I wanted to make sure there was no other reason that you didn't want to wear the night gown other than your shyness. You have an amazing figure by the way, well you need to eat more but still!" I guess she was being nice in a roundabout sort of way. Kind of.

"Ok, I'll compromise. I will wear that THING if I can have a big fluffy dressing gown as well."

"I thought you were just going to sleep?" She asked.

"Yeah well I can't sleep now can I. It's all your fault you know."

"Me!? I only tried to improve your fashion sense."

"Oh look at me I'm Alice, I work as head torturer for fashion nightmares are us and my favourite weapon is silky night wear!" I mumbled in a high pitched voice. Laughter exploded from downstairs. Alice glared at me but I just looked back with an innocent face.

"What?" I asked.

"Fine, you can have a dressing gown." Finally! She was gone a second before she pushed a big red dressing gown into my arms.

"Thank you Alice." I sang at her. She just glared some more before going down stairs. I got changed and couldn't help looking at the scars I had. I used to have tons on my arms and legs but they always healed. I only had three that wouldn't go away.

The first was on my left hip. It was a ragged circle from where Phil had gotten mad and stuck a glass bottle into my side. Now that hurt like hell.

The second was on my upper back. James had pushed me down a flight of stairs and I fell through a glass table. The glass wasn't the problem though, the sharp metal legs were.

The third was the biggest, stretching from my belly button up to the back of my shoulder blade. Phil decided I wasn't pulling my own weight in the household and grabbed a knife and slashed me with it. I hadn't been able to sleep for a week. Sighing I pulled on the sorry excuse for clothing and then the dressing gown.

I looked myself over in the mirror and deemed myself ok to be seen. I slowly made my way down the stairs so I didn't trip and took one last deep breath before opening the door into the lounge. All of the Cullens were sat around the coffee table, playing cards.

"Would you like to play Bella?" Asked Jasper, all of the Cullens looked up at me and smiled.

"Depends what you're playing."

"Rummy!" Cried Emmett happily. I smirked.

"Sure." They didn't know about all the times I had snuck out of my room and gone to the roughest bars I could find and beat biker guys asses at Rummy. I didn't plan on telling them either. They would find out soon enough.

"You know how to play, dear?" Esme checked. I smiled and nodded.

After half an hour and five games it was fair to say that Emmett was livid.

"How do you play so good Bella?!" Emmett whined as he threw his cards down on the table.

"Ok, I know what you guys are like and you have to promise to not freak out." They all looked a little worried but nodded. "Well.... Ok I think it's easier to show you. You guys have a computer with internet?" Carlisle nodded once again and left the room returning moments later with a lap top.

"Here you go Bella."

Thank you. Before I start I want to let you know I always got away and I was never hurt and I was always super careful." Ok now they looked plain terrified. The computer loaded and I opened the internet. I then typed in the names of a few of the bars I had played in. I had sixteen when I took a deep breath and clicked on the barred option. There was a list of names and small pictures, next to the names were reasons they were on the wanted list.

"Ok so that's me," Click on different page, "that's also me. That's me. That's me." I looked at their faces. Oh no. "Ok, that's not me." I pointed to the name above it. "But that one kindda is." I was about to go on but Carlisle held up his hand to stop me.

"We get the point. Bella, why are you banned from entering these bars? Why are people giving you death threats?"

"Well, when things got really bad I would dress up, go out, play cards, win all their money then climb out the window in the bathrooms before they had a chance to kill me." They all looked at me with disbelief and a little bit of anger. "Erm, surprise?" I tried to smile. I ended up hiding behind a cushion, waiting for the onslaught.

"BELLA! What was going through your head when you did this?" Yelled Edward. I was ready for the yell and only flinched a millimetre.

"Look, have you ever got so mad or so uncaring that you see red and you want to make someone pay? Like if you're being bullied and so you decide to do something about it? Well I couldn't exactly do anything about Phil or James or Mike. One night I was out for a ride and I was driving past one of these bars and a bunch of guys were harassing this girl. That's when I had the awesome idea to play them at cards and steal all their cash." I shrugged. "Besides I got a little addicted to the adrenaline rush I got when I was being chased by a bunch of guys on motor bikes." I decided to stop talking then. Even if I hadn't I would have been interrupted by the blood curdling scream coming out of Alice's mouth.

A/N Woo my first real cliffy! Ok once again sorry for the delay I won't say reviews make me upload faster as I cannot control whatever it is that stops me from uploading! I love the reviews all the same though!!!
