No One to Turn To
A/N I'm trying to keep you all on your toes…is it working? Sorry it's a short chapter. Keep reading and reviewing! –Kittyy
P.S Just in case you didn't notice from the first chapter I changed them from juniors to seniors…you'll find out why. And you may be wondering why Alice hasn't seen Bella get beaten…I never said she didn't.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of this, Stephenie Meyer does.
The Fall
Edward POV
"So when do I get to meet Charlie?" I asked. Bella's eyes went from complete happiness to total horror. "Bella?"
"I need to go home." She said robotically. How could a person go from the highest, greatest personality to an unresponsive robot? It was scaring me.
"Bella are you alright?" I asked.
"Yes, lets go." She ordered. Then she marched off. Suddenly she slipped and fell onto her back.
"AAHH!" she screamed and yelped in pain. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Had it hurt that bad?
"Bella!" I yelled. Oh no! Did she hurt her spine or something? It didn't look like the fall would hurt so much but it must have because she was lying on the ground hugging her self. Many tears fell from her glorious big brown eyes. I ran to her and tried to help her up. "Carlisle!" I yelled. I needed his help. He would hear me. Slowly I lifted Bella to her feet.
"I'm okay!" she yelled. She was lying.
"Bella lets just let Carlisle look at your back to make sure you're completely fine. You look like you really hurt yourself."
"NO!" she yelled. Her eyes welled up. I hated to see her cry.
"Bella?" What was the matter with her? "Just let Carlisle check it."
"NO!" she cried out. That's when her shirt got caught on my house's front door. That's when I saw hideous bruises and gashes on her back. My God!
"Bella, what the hell is with all the scars on your back?" I asked her. That's when she fainted.
Bella POV
He wants to meet Charlie. He can't meet Charlie. Ever!
"I need to go home." I said as perfectly as I could. But it sounded like a complete stranger had said it, not me. Edward looked frightened. Please, oh please don't let this ruin us! I felt like screaming. Why did he need to meet Charlie?
"Bella are you alright?" he asked me. I felt like yelling. Hell no I wasn't alright! I would never be alright until he and I were far away from Charlie.
"Yes, lets go." I demanded. I needed to go now. Right now damn it! I stomped to the car and then my foot was in the air, my head hit the ground, and then the worst thing happened. My back crushed against the ground, hard. At first I couldn't hear anything. Not even my own scream. All I could feel was the pain attacking me. It ceased my mind and took over me. I didn't know what to do or think. When will this pain stop? An angel stood over me. He was yelling but I could not hear his words. He wore a pained expression on his face. My Edward! Realization clicked back into me.
"I'm okay!" I lied. My voice was mean and shaky.
"Bella lets just let Carlisle look at your back to make sure you're completely fine. You look like you really hurt yourself." Edward coaxed.
"NO!" If Carlisle looked at my back than he would see the scars from Charlie's belt. Everyone would think I was a dumb, ugly, whore. Carlisle can not see. No one can.
"Bella?" he said. "Just let Carlisle check it."
"NO!" I repeated in a gurgling scream. How dumb I must have looked, and seemed! Good first impression! It just occurred to me that we were back at the front door. I wanted to fight Edward but I was too weak. When my shirt got caught on the door I acted to slow. Edward saw, and then everything went black.
