I pulled down the long driveway and into the garage. I then went inside where Esme was sitting with her design books, working on the furniture plans for Mrs. Brown's house. "Bella dear, why so early?" I sunk down to the floor where Carlisle told me to be. "I got in a fight at school today. I'm on a three day suspension. Dad told me to wait here, and not to talk to anyone other than telling you that." She nodded and handed me a piece of cloth and put her box of needles and thread between us. "Thanks." I whispered, picking up the spool of black.

When the others walked in from school I already had the outline of a large tree I was planning on putting ivy around. "Squeaker, what'd Carlisle do?" I bit my lip and shook my head, unable to answer him. Esme thankfully came to my rescue. "She's to sit there and not say a word until he returns, we don't know what he's going to do."

About an hour later Carlisle walked in. "Everyone but Bella and Jasper out. Esme, love, you can stay too if you want, but I doubt you do." Esme nodded and shut her design book. "I'm going out with Mrs. Brown to pick out some furniture." Carlisle nodded and kissed her on the cheek on her way out.

I looked over to Jasper, who was clearly surprised that he was called out to stay here. "Jasper, could you come here for a moment." Jasper jumped up from the couch and walked over to Carlisle. Carlisle quickly whispered something to Jasper. He looked skeptical for a minute, but after a little coaxing from Carlisle, he agreed.

He walked over and sat a few feet in front of me and waited for Carlisle to explain what he was going to do. "Bella, Jasper is going to use his gift to punish you. He is going to manipulate your emotions. It's going to hurt, probably hurt a lot, so yell and scream all you like, but you've got it coming for an hour today, and an hour each day for the next three days. Any time Son." Jasper nodded and looked back to me.

"Sorry, Bella." He whispered before I was hit by a wave of agony. It felt like an iron fist was clamped down on my heart. I clenched my teeth in an effort to suffer in silence, but it was getting to be to much. Every few minutes he would put in a long wave of misery and sadness. I doubt I took two breaths that whole time, I just kept myself curled into a tight ball, trying to resist. "Bella, get up, it's over." Cold fingers brushed the hair off my forehead. I uncurled a bit and let Edward pull me into his lap.

"Its okay now Bella, it's over, calm down." Edward looked up to Jasper. "Could you?" Jasper shook his head. "Sorry Edward, Carlisle said that I couldn't help her out, she has to calm herself down."

"Bella honey, breathe deep breaths, calm down." His velvet voice loosed the grip of the iron fist on my heart so that I could breathe again. "Is she calm?" Carlisle asked, walking back in. "Almost Carlisle." I looked up into my Edward's eyes and instantly forgot all that had happened, and the only thing I felt was happiness. "She's perfectly calm now Carlisle." Jasper said.

He came over and put his hand on my shoulder. "Bella? What have you learned today?" I groaned and rested my head back against Edward's chest. "Fighting is wrong even if you don't hurt the other person. Not to let humans touch my bare skin, 'cause they freak out. And it's damn hard to look innocent when one person's covered in bruises, and you don't have a scratch on you. Please Carlisle, don't let Jasper do that to me anymore, I can't take three more days of that! I know fighting with Mariah was wrong, please, I'll never lay a hand on anyone else. I promise, no more, please!" Ibegged. His eyes flicked briefly toward Jasper who nodded. "Very well Bella. Give me the form Mr. Edwards sent with you." I quickly handed him the sheet and he signed it. "You aren't to leave the property until your suspension is over. Now go hunting, your eyes are becoming dark."

Edward pulled me into the woods, Emmett a little behind us. "What were you thinking today?" Edward asked after we'd drank. "I wasn't." Was my remorseful reply. "I acted on an impulse." Edward put his hands on either side of my face, making me look him in the eye. "Bella, you know better than that! I've been talking about how difficult it is to touch humans since you found out what I was, and you go off and pick a fight with one. Do you have any idea how worried I was? You were very lucky you didn't hurt her too bad!" He scolded.

I bit my lip hard, trying to decide how I was going to react, I chose not to. "Bella?" I opened my eyes, searching for something to look at, anything but him. I glanced up at the clear sky, our skin was glittering wonderfully. I'd never really gotten a chance to admire it. "Bella?" he said again. I wanted him to wrap me up in his arms and let me cry on his shoulder, and tell him how sorry I was, but I couldn'that. "Bella, talk to me, please." He begged quietly. I threw my hands up slightly irritated, "What do you want me to say? It was an accident, and it'll never happen again? Because I can't that, because that's a lie, and it isn't my promise to make."

I turned to walk off but he grabbed me around the waist and pulled me back to him. "Bella, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you angry. I was just"

I tried to pull his hands off me, but he was still stronger than me. "Just what Edward? You always think you know everything! Alright, I said I knew it was wrong, and that I'm sorry, what more do you want from me?" I hissed. Edward's eyes opened wide like he was afraid that his words would kill me. "II just want you to be my Bella." He almost whispered.

That hurt, like he had slammed his hand through my chest and ripped my heart out. "Edward." I whimpered, sinking to the ground. "I'm sorry." I was dry sobbing so hard it hurt. Edward, clearly surprised by my reaction, knelt down beside me and wrapped his arms around me. He was trying to calm me, but the longer he held me, the harder I cried. I thought I'd be perfect once I was like him. that I'd be strong enough to fight my own battles, but I wasn't even strong enough to remember who I really was. Edward was getting scared now. He looked up at Emmett. "Go get Jasper, hurry!" He called in a low whisper.

Emmett ran off and about two minutes later Jasper came into the clearing wincing. "Jesus Edward, what did you do her?" Jasper was gritting his teeth against the pain Bella was radiating. "I don't know what I did, we were arguing, and I told her I just wanted Bella back, and this is what happened!" Jasper stopped breathing and opened his arms wide for me. Edward slid me off his lap and into Jasper's.

My fingers clenched his shirt in my fists and let him hold my head against his chest. "Shh, Bella, shh, it's going to be alright." Don't know why he did it, but I was hit by a wave of excruciating pain. "Stop it!" I shrieked, "Stop it!" Edward's mouth dropped open. "What the hell did you do?" He shouted. "II don't know, I tried to cam her down and she started screaming!" Jasper was panicking now as well. My body was still wracking with sobs. I'm such an idiot, I couldn't be Bella, because I don't know who Bella is, he doesn't love me like this.

Jasper hit me with another wave of calm, twisted into pain. "Ow, for the love of God stop it!" I screamed at him. "I'm sorry Bella, I'm just trying to calm you down, I don't know why it isn't working." He started rubbing circles on my back, whispering in my ear. "Bells, it's going to be okay, you just need to calm down." I shook my head. "I can't!" I gasped out. "Jasper, what's going on?" Edward asked. "Shut up and let me figure it out!" Jasper shouted. I cringed away from their loud voices, still shaking.

I don't know what happened, but a moment later both of the boys were lying on top of me, and the earth was shaking violently. "Stop it Bella!" Edward's frantic voice rang out. I felt both the boys grab a hold of me and run me back to the house. "Carlisle!" Esme screamed when she saw them running towards the house. He snatched me from the boys hands and laid me on the trembling earth. "Bella Cullen you listen to me right now. Stop it, you're causing an earthquake, you have to get a hold of yourself!" He pled. I gritted my teeth and focused on holding still. Once I had control of the sobs that were dominating my small frame I pictured the earth being still again. The shakes stopped, and I collapsed in a ball; too tired to even breathe.

"Get her in the house." Carlisle instructed the boys as he walked quickly into the woods where we'd come from.

Jasper and I carried Bella the stairs and into our room, and placed her down on the bed. Her body was completely still, she wasn't even breathing.

After several minutes Carlisle came into the room with a large bottle in his hand. He knelt down beside my wife's head and poured the contents down her throat. "Why didn't you calm her down?" He growled at Jasper. "I tried!" he snapped back, before stalking out of the room. "He did try Carlisle." I defended my brother. Then what happened? He thought, trying to coax Bella to get up. "Every time he tried to calm her, she'd start screaming for him to stop. It hurt her." I explained. Dad nodded, turning to me. "I'm going to apologize to Jasper. Bella is very, very, weak, I don't know when she'll come back to us. But son, you have to keep making her drink this." He handed me a few more bottles full of blood. "Yes sir." He nodded. "She will be okay, we just need to find out what that was." With that he turned and walked from our room to find Jasper.

I sat beside her all night, pouring blood down her throat, trying to pull her back to the real world.

Very early the next morning Emmett knocked on the door. "Hey, how's she doing?" His everpresent grin was gone, and he looked genuinely worried. "I don't know." I answered, putting another empty bottle on the floor beside my feet. "She'll make it Edward, she's strong." He whispered, looking sadly at my Bella. "I know, I'm just worried about what condition she'll be in when she makes it back." Emmett sat down on the bed and tucked her hair behind her ears. "She'll be fine." He said quietly, more to himself than to me.

"Umm, oh yeah, Carlisle sent me up here to tell you to go to school today, and to not even bother arguing, he'll be up here with Bella all day." I groaned and looked at the clock. I had two more hours with her until I had to leave for school, and I honestly didn't know how I was going to make it through the day.
