Chapter fourteen

2 months later

"Rose, do we really have to do this?" I asked, walking through the shops as if the racks held deadly animals ready to attack me. She said I was too dramatic... but really, what if deadly animals were actually going to jump out at me!

"Yes!" She said, exasperated. "Look, your sister is having the time of her life. She wanted you to go dress shopping with so she can find something for the junior formal. You called me because you barely even own a dress and so here we are! Stop complaining"

I sighed and looked over at Alice, who was bouncing, twirling and skipping around the dress racks. I shrugged, figuring I could be supportive. But why is the junior formal in the middle of the year and not at the end when we have ours?

I nodded, oohed and ahhed at all the things Alice tried on and in the end she chose two, one for her formal and then one she just couldn't say no to. I laughed and took them to the counter, paying on my card that Carlisle gave to me. He said Alice was too young, so she was upset, but I told her I'd get her dresses because she didn't have enough money.

"Thank you Bella!" she repeated over and over as we went to put the dress bags into the car before going to get some lunch.

I sat between Rose and Alice as we waited for our food to come in. Rose was staring off towards another table. "What's up Rose?" I asked.

She shrugged "thought I saw someone I knew" She said, actually leaning around me and then shaking her head. "Nah, it's not him"

I smiled, and then we all went into a conversation about how Alice was going to wear her hair. And we ended up going to the hair dressers, because she had decided to get 'a whole new look'.

I texted Esme saying we were getting Alice's hair cut and all she did was reply with have fun. Meaning Alice was given a completely free range on how she wanted her hair cut.
While we waited for the lady to be free, Alice looked through the magazine and on the 4th page, she squealed. "I want this one!" She said excitedly.

Rose took it and had a look, grinning happily.

I snatched the magazine and looked at it. It was someone with the same face structure face as Alice, sort of pointy, and fairy like. This person though, unlike Alice who had black hair going down to her shoulder blades, this person had short, spiky hair that pointed out in every direction. It didn't even reach the ladies shoulders.
"What do you think Bella?" Alice asked, her eyes sparkling.

I looked at the picture and smiled, if it made her happy... "I think it will be good. But we will let the final product, make our decision" I grinned.

She smiled and hugged me tightly. Before running off to the chair she was being called to.

She told the hair dresser exactly what she wanted, basically every snip of hair was of Alice's choice. I stared at her, surprised as more and more hair appeared on the floor. "You should get your hair cut too" Rose offered.

I frowned "I like my length"

She shook her head "You could get layers... like me"
I smiled slightly, I do like her hair.

10minutes later I was in a chair next to Alice with another hair dresser, getting layers done.

Once we were both done I looked over at Alice. "Wow Bella, you look amazing... you look..." I stopped listening to her rambling as I studied her. Something about her short hair now poking out in different directions sent a shiver down my spine.

He stepped closer and grabbed my hair. "no? You do not disobey me." Then he cut off my hair, laughing hysterical.

I was small with brown hair that had been cut off brutally by a knife from my father. I smoothed it down effortlessly before following the lady outside towards the unknown.

I had a image of my 7 year old self with short, brown hair spiky the way Alice's is. But I pushed it away, I was going to do what Edward does... make it something of my past.

Once I had the image out of my head and the tears dried I smiled at Alice. "You look beautiful Alice. Really. Your stunning"
She frowned, seeing the tear fall down my cheek before I could wipe it away, but smiled after I commented her. "I love you Bella" she whispered, hugging me.

I buried my face into her newly cut hair, probably wrecking the gel, and kissed her head. "Love you too Hun"

Rose cleared her throat. "I want a hug too... and the lady wants to be paid" She giggled.

Alice leapt into Rose's arms while I went and paid. Laughing at my best friend and sister.

Once we finished we all got into my car and headed back home, Rose answered her phone.

"Jasper? What's wrong?" She asked, worry in her voice.

I couldn't hear what he said but she gasped loudly. "Bella, can you go to my place!" She said extremely worried now.

I nodded and began to drive toward her house. Once we were there, I could hear it. The fighting.

"Go home" She told me and Alice before she headed inside "I'll call you later"

I frowned and began to slowly drive away but those plans all stopped when I heard a sound. Flashbacks flew into my mind.

I couldn't think, my heartbeat was loud in my ears as I pulled my arms in front of me, and then pulling down hard on the trigger. Daddy looked shocked, he looked like he was in pain.

I stopped the car and turned to Alice who was still in the back-seat, her eyes wide in fear. I threw her my mobile phone. "Call the police. Then call Esme and Carlisle. Stay in this car! Lock the doors" I shouted at her.

She gave me one short nod before she was concentrating on the phone. I dived out of the car and didn't think that I was actually going into danger... unarmed.

I threw open the Hales doors. And the fear that was in me grew and the butterflies began to dance once more.

A small bubble of fear broke in my stomach and the butterflies began to dance. I crept behind him, not wanting to, but having no choice but to follow him.

I stood shocked as the redness of the carpet made me almost faint. The smell flew up my nose and the person on the floor made me cry out in pain and fear.

What I saw in the kitchen, leaves me silenced. My once pretty mother now barely had a face that I could recognise. The blood was... everywhere... there was so much. Her arms and legs laid useless in the bloody pool beside her. I let a small sound escape me....

"Jasper?!" My voice whispered, it was quavering in fear. I crept forward and his head moved so he could see me. His blood shot eyes, his blood from the corner of his mouth, his shirt cut into millions of pieces, the scarred flesh of his chest was stained red.
"Bella?" He asked, then relief washed over him, probably to realise someone else knew. "Rose. Upstairs. Help" He begged.

I heard a loud bang and a scream followed by sobbing. I jumped at the sounds but felt my legs running upstairs. What was I doing?!

We listened carefully. The banging had increased now and there was now screaming. We knew who was screaming.

But before I hit the stairs I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a knife.

"Disgusting. I can't live with a piece of trash like you, come here. I will make it quick" He said, pulling out a knife the size of my leg.

I pulled out of my mind, desperately trying to think of other things as I ran up the stairs towards the danger. I needed to think clearly of what I was doing... What was I doing? Where was the police??

Another scream and the thought of my own fear left as I realised Rose was in danger and needed help. My help.

I pushed open the door and what saw me left me blinded once more by memories.

I woke up in the middle of the dark. It was pitch black and cold. I heard a creak. I shot up in my bed. Oh please no. not tonight.

My prayers were unanswered as my door swung open and James entered the room. I am pushed downwards into my bed, my pants ripped away. James then decides to have his way with me. My silent please gone unnoticed.

Rose was on the floor, her eyes glued to mine as someone was on top of her, trying to get between her legs. She gasped and screamed once more as the man entered her and that was when I shot out of my frozen state.

I lounged, my knife raised. "Fuck someone with permission!" I screamed before I pushed him off her.

He screamed at me and jumped off of her and then onto me. "Who the FUCK are you?" He shouted.

I tried to get him with the knife, in anyway to try to protect myself and save Rose, who was now huddled onto the floor near the bed.

But the knife flew out of my hand and was now in his, it raised dangerously close to my neck. "Say goodbye" He said evilly.

The fall seemed to go on forever, I instantly saw everything flash before me. My mother, father, blood, dead, the orphanage, the beatings, Alice leaving, more beatings, me growing, me missing Alice, me running, me crying. Finally, it settled on something I did right. Alice. I let her go and made her have a happy life. Her four year old face smiles in my mind.

I couldn't give up now. As the face of Brandon appeared in front of me, I grunted as I lifted my foot and kicked him... right in his balls.

He made some weird noise before dropping the knife to hold himself. Seriously, why leave himself so unprotected? He regained himself quickly though and grabbed my throat, squeezing tightly.

I grabbed the knife, the pain of his hands grew and my breath came short. But I blocked it out, because compared to the drop from the fence when I was 7, it was nothing. But before I could think, it was in his chest, deep in his chest.

He stubbled back and I stared at him, as he pulled it and the red blood flowed out of his chest and onto me.

"Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck. Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit" Was sounded over the silence of the room and I didn't realise who it was until I felt my mouth moving.

I shook my head as he fumbled around and grabbed the bed, falling off and onto the floor.
Rose was also saying something and it was her panicked voice that made me turn to her and away from the dying man.
She was still pant-less and clawing at her face in probably fear.

I grabbed the blanket that didn't have his blood on it and covered her. "Come on Rose, come downstairs" I said, really wanting to get away from him and wanting to go check on Jasper.

I managed to get her downstairs and onto the couch.

Jasper was up now and he limped over to Rose as I brought her down. "Are you okay?" He asked, worried.

She nodded and collapsed onto the couch. Jasper sat next to her.

"Who was that?" I asked.

They both turned to me, "Our father" Rose whispered.

"Who shot the gun... and um... who got shot?" I asked, trying to check Jasper if he was shot somewhere.

"I'm not shot Bells," He said, smiling slightly while taking Rose into his arms.

"Then how are you so cut up! And where is the fucking police?!" I shouted.

"Dad shot some guy, he's in the kitchen. Then dad threw me through the window. I called Rose cause I needed help and she came, but Dad got her before I could get her" He said, sounding defeated. "I am so sorry I called you Rose. I am so very sorry"

"Its okay" She whispered, hugging him.
"Did he touch you Rosie?" He asked.

She nodded and then burst into tears.

I left then because they started having brother/sister time. I went outside to get air and it was then that I actually freaked out.

Firstly, Alice screamed. Loudly. I faced her and saw her staring at me, which made me look down and I screamed myself. I was covered in blood. Literally, almost drenched.

Alice came out of the car and ran over to me. "Are you okay? Are you hurt? Bella say something! Please" She begged.

"I'm fine. Its not mine" I reassured her. "Did you call the police?" I asked.

She nodded "They said that I'd be a 10minute wait because where so far out"
I frowned. "Did you say that there had been a gun shot?"
She nodded, tears falling.

I took her into my arms and sat down with her on the porch. Soon, in about 2 minutes, police cruisers and ambulance's came speeding down the street.

And then from the other direction, came our parents car.

Esme came running out, yelling my name, and Carlisle saw me once and then went into doctor mode. "Stop. Stop. STOP!" I said, so they could stop worrying. "I'm not hurt. It's not my blood. Jasper and Rose. Please go to them" I said, pointing inside.

Both of our parents went inside and Alice went to go too but I told her to stay here, because I didn't want her witnessing what was inside there.

I started to shiver and Alice moved closer to me, hugging me tightly. "Is this what it was like when our parents died?" She whispered.

I looked at her, scared and worried for both our sanities. "yeah" I said, my voice quiet and soft. "It was like this... sort of"

"I'm glad I don't remember it very well then"
I hugged her tighter "I wish I could forget"

"I'm fine, really Carlisle" I reassured Carlisle as he sat me on the hospital bed and examined my neck.

He didn't say anything as he looked me over, but I knew what he was thinking.
"How is Rose and Jasper's father?" I asked.

Carlisle sat in the chair and moved it so he was in front of me. "He died Bella."
It finally dawned on me. Tears came and fell, rapidly.

"I killed someone? I did it? I actually killed someone?" I asked.

"Bella, it was self defence"
"I know! But I thought I had killed my own father and then I find out he's alive so I don't know if I actually ever had time to feel the effect of killing someone and now I have actually killed someone! I mean... I am actually a murder! I killed someone and I can't take it back?! He's blood was on me. Oh God Carlisle, he's blood was on me! Can we burn those clothes? Carlisle.... Oh no... Oh NO!" I continued on and actually ended up rocking it wasn't until strong arms went around me did I begin to calm down.

"Bella, your safe honey. Nothing is going to get you. It's okay. Shhh... Shhh" Carlisle mumbled, kissing my cheek and forehead. "Its okay Bella, calm down"

I started breathing more and took deep breaths. "Thank you Carlisle" I said. "What about Rose and Jasper?"

"Jasper is going to make a full recovery. He'll have scars on him for the rest of his life, but most of them he can cover"

"And Rose?"
"She... she's a bit more upset and... unstable. She was raped by her own father" he said, carefully watching my reaction. "She's going to need therapy"
I nodded, knowing that it helped me... a lot. "Where will they go now?" I whispered "There orphans... yeah?

"Yes... I think, where going to try to contact an Aunt, but Jasper has said that they thought she was dead. If she's not available... then there going to have to go into the system"
I shuddered, thinking about the system. "But there almost 18. Can't they just live by themselves?"

"Not by law" He said to me before kissing my head. "You go home, get some rest."

Read. Review. You know the drill.

This time don't push the green button... BECAUSE IT'S GONE :'( I miss it.

HOpe you all had a great Easter. Happy holidays.

P.S. My story has a long way to go, I have decided. I'm going to get Bella to a stable place, where there a no loose ties with her past families and such... and then MAYBE end it... or have a sequeal. :D
