Chapter 18: The Bracelet

I turned around to see Alice standing there with my phone.

"Alice please give me my phone back" I begged holding out my hand.

"Bella I'm sorry I have to do this" Alice said breaking the phone into pieces.

"No!!" I cried as the phone fell to the floor.

"I'm sorry Bella but I had to do that. We just had to get threw to you some how"Alice said looking down on me as I sat holding my now broken phone.

I just looked up at her with horror and terror. How could Alice do this? She was the evil stepsister and I was Cinderella.

Alice left a few seconds later with a small smile upon her lips, I knew she was pleased at what she had done.

I sat on the floor as tears filled my dark brown eyes. Great just great my cell phone is gone. No one really called me on it except for Edward. That was it my step family was just joules, no they where just down right mean.

I got up and threw away the pieces. That's when I heard it. It sounded like someone at my window. Okay now I am living in a fairy tale, how could anyone be at my window since I'm on the third floor. But then I heard it again. I looked out my window but saw nothing just the shutter going back and forth from the wind and the darkness of the night.

"Oh Edward how I wish I could tell you everything" I sighed turning to my bed and going to sleep dreaming of the day that I would be safe and sound with the man of my dreams. (A/N: I know you wanted it to be Edward I did to, but it was just the wind blowing sorry)

As I started to fall into a deep sleep I heard voices from some where. I got up and went to where the voices where coming from.

"Did you break the phone like I told you to?" I heard the voice ask, it sounded like Rosalie.

"Yes I did, what else was I supposed to do let her call Edward and poor her heart out to him. I don't think so" Alice answered sounding meaner then ever (in my option anyway but then again I was half a sleep)

"Good so now she can't call Edward unless she calls him on the home phone" Rosalie said with happiness in her voice. "Then we will know if she tells him"

What! I couldn't believe what I was hearing. They where both in it. I thought Alice said she was just being mean to please her sister but she was lying, Wasn't she? I heard nothing for a few minuets then I heard foot steps...

"Well, well, well look who we have hear Bella you just love to ease drop don't you? Well we will teach you not to ease drop ever again" Rosalie said putting my arm behind my back as far as it could go all of a sudden I heard something...crack. Then she pined me up to the wall.

I just screamed and begged her to let me go. But she didn't give an inch. She just held me there asking me question after question.

"WHY WHERE YOU LESSIONING TO MINE AND ALICE'S CONVERSATION?" Rose yelled in my ear.

"I wasn't lesioning to your conversation. I was going to sleep when I heard voice so I came down here to see who it was" I answered as tears of pain came down my face.

"SURE YOU WHERE YOUR LYING!!!!!! THAT'S ALL YOU EVER DO IS LIE. WHEN YOU CALLED EDWARD WHERE YOU GOING TO TELL HIM IT WAS YOU AT THE BALL THAT NIGHT?" she yelled once more.

"No...I was...scared so....I was calling him for support and help" I cried as bigger tears came down my cheeks.

"WHAT EVER BELLA STOP LYING AND TELL US THE TRUTH OR YOU WILL BE PUNISHED. I HAVE PERMISSION FROM MY MOM ME AND ALICE BOTH DO" Rosalie's yelling was't so lowed this time.

"I am telling the truth I wouldn't lie about something like that" I said with full honesty. with fear forming in my eyes.

"YOUR LYING THAT'S ALL YOU EVER DO IS LIE. DON'T YOU KNOW WHEN TO STOP?!!!!!!" Rosalie yelled once again. "YOU GIVE ME KNOW CHOOSE..."

What would be my "punishment" I would soon find out.

"Alice bring me the bracelet" Rosalie said holding out her hand.

What was the bracelet? I would find out soon. Alice brought over the bracelet and handed it to Rosalie.

"This will tell us where you go and there's also a camara in it to tell us who you talk to as well. So don't try anything do you hear me" Rosalie said putting it on my right wrist. I nodded with fear.

Moments later Rosalie finally let go of me. I fell to the floor looking at them. How could Alice do this I thought she was my friend? I left the room and went to my own along with this tracking device

Edward's POV.

"Hello Bella- are you there?" I yelled into the phone. But all I got back was silence. What the heck what was going on if she was playing a game it wasn't funny.

"Hey what are you doing?" Emmett asked looking at me. "I was trying to sleep and dreaming of Rosalie and you woke me up dude, so what is your deal?"

"Sorry Emmett didn't mean to wake you. But I just got a call from Bella but she wasn't there" I said closing my cell along with my eyes. "What if something bad happened?"

"Chill the call was probably lost" Emmett corrected me with a yawn. "Well I'm going back to bed night and you should really do the same" he said going back to his room.

"Yaw you're probably right. Maybe I should call her home number?" I said picking up the phone. I dialed but as soon as I did I got the busy sound.

Okay I guess I will see her tomorrow in bio. I thought as I went to my room to do my homework. (Which was a piece of cake, considering I had done it a thousand times?) Then I had to get some sleep that is if I wanted to make it threw tomorrow with out seeing the inside of my eye lids.

That only happened once it was before the influenza epidemic broke out. I was a junior in high school (like I am now of course) but I was sent to the principles office just because I fell asleep in class. Give me a break I hadn't slep in like two days. It was a bet between me and one of my friends at the time. Oh well that was a very very long time ago so why bring it up now.

Biology Class…

I sat at my and Bella's table waiting and waiting (seemed like an eternity, and trust me I know what that's like) Finally she walked in. She looked awful there where dark circles under her eyes from lack of sleep. Her once beautiful chestnut hair was up in a messy ponytail. She was dressed in a pair of old jeans and a t-shirt that read "I don't want to be here, but I have to be"

As she sat down I noticed the big black and blue bruise the size of a tennis ball.

"Bella what happened to your arm? It looks like you got hit with a tennis ball" I asked putting my cold hand over the bruise, she let out a scream-yelp.

"OW don't touch it" Bella said swatting my hand away.

Then I saw the bracelet on her right wrist.

"Tell me what happened? And what and why is that on your wrist" I asked once again hoping she wouldn't snap at me again.

"I'm sorry Edward I can't tell you. I…was told…not to. And besides…it's….non…of...your business" she cried hopelessly.

"Isabella Swan you can tell me anything" I corrected her grabbing her shoulders forcing her to look at me. That's when she totally lost it, she broke down in tears. Finally she said something in between sobs.

"Edward I'm…so…sorry I…can't tell you. I…wish…I could but I…can't"

I wiped away her tears and spoke in a soft manner. "Yes you can, I'm your boyfriend you can tell me anything"

With out another word Bella jerked from my grip and ran from the room. " BELLA!" I yelled trying to go after her. But the teacher told me to sit back down or he would send me to the principles office. I most certainly didn't want to see Aro. So I sat back down. I looked on hopelessly as I watched Bella disappear.

Bella's POV.

I ran from the room as fast as I could. But where to go? The bathroom no, stay in the hall no. Suddenly I knew where I could go my truck. As I walked to the truck I breathed in the fresh crisp clean air. That made me feel a little better. I made my way across the parking lot to my truck, a few minuets later.

As soon as I shut the door I fell apart emotionally, physically the whole lot. I just didn't know what to do. I tried and tried to get the bacelet off but it was know use it wouldn't budge. I couldn't turn to anyone, let alone talk to someone (A/N: I know there the same but just go with me here)

All of a sudden I knew someone I could talk to…my dad. I put my head in my hands and began praying to my dad.

"Dad I really need your help. Everything's just been awful since you died; it has just been a complete roller coaster. Victoria dislikes me with a passion. Rosalie humiliates me in everyway possible when ever she can…which is mostly everyday. Then Alice I don't know what is up with her? It's like she has like two split personalities or something. Anyway daddy I just really wish you where here. I really miss you" when I got down praying I felt a lot better. That's all I needed was to talk to my dad. I knew he was lessening (I knew Edward would I just couldn't tell him right now)

After praying to my dad the bell rang for lunch. As I made my way back it began to rain very heavily. Great now my cloths where socked. I walked threw the lunchroom to are table. As Soon as I approached, Edward looked up with a startled look on his face.

"Oh my god Bella what happened to you?" Where did you go after you ran from the room? He asked me. Apparently that's all he could ask or get out.

"I went to my truck and thought for a while, prayed to my dad. The reason I'm wet is because as I started coming in for lunch it began to poor" I answered him. As I began to shake.

"Here allow me" Edward said taking his jacket off the back of his chair. He raped it around my shaking shoulders as I sat down in the chair. "I went ahead and got your lunch for you hope you don't mind"

It was a grilled chicken salad with ranch dressing cur tones, chocolate milk and an apple the color of a red rose.

"Thanks Edward you're so sweet" I answered him as I pored the dressing over the salad. As I continued eating my salad the rest of the kids came over.

"So Bell why did you run out of bio this morning?" Emmett asked putting pepper on his fries.

"I just had a moment that's all" I said putting down the fork. Not five minuets after Emmett asked me that, Rosalie came over and sat down kicking me from under the table. I just rubbed the spot with my left foot and looked at her.

"Where's Jasper and Alice?" Edward asked blowing the paper off his straw.

"Still in line" Rosalie answered putting her napkin on her lap.

We began talking about random things when Rosalie pointed out my bruise.

"Bella how did you get that bruise? You should tell us" As a smirk cam across her lips.

"Uh…I um fell…down the stairs last night and hit my arm" I lied threw my teeth. But what else could I do?

"Wow what a klutz" Alice said with laughter as her and Jasper sat down. I felt so embarrassed and so helpless.

"I know she should really take lesions on how to walk down stairs" Rosalie said with a comeback.

Moments later the boys got up. "Where are you going?" I asked looking at Edward.

"At lunch we help Edward look for the girl from the ball" Jasper said standing up with his brothers.

Before leaving the boys kissed use and off they went. As soon as they where out of ear shot Alice and Rosalie trashed talk me.

"Nice going Sherlock. You about blew it" Rosalie spat at me leaning over the table.

"What I don't get is why you even try. Edwards never going to fine out it was you. So you should just let it go for crying out lowed. I mean that is if you know what is good for you" Alice added following what her sister did.

I didn't know what to say. But I knew I had to say something. "You two just can't stand to see me happy with Edward"

"Oh sure it is you got us there" Alice said with sarcasm. I wasn't going to let them get to me so I fired back.

"What ever 4 foot 10 inch pixie. I'm surprised you can even reach Jasper. And Rosalie I'm surprised you even approve of Emmett. As shallow as you are" I sat back in my chair with my arms crossed. I was very pleased with myself.

Rosalie and Alice faces got beat red. It was so funny seeing Alice so mad.

"Your going to wish you never said that" they said at once shoving there food on me.

I looked at them with horror. Before I went and changed my cloths (I always carry some with me) they came over and whisper in my ears.

"You better sleep with one eye open" then I went to the bathroom to change my cloths.

A/N:So what do you think? I know your probably wondering what's up with Alice? Well she's kind of playing both sides of the board, but don't worry she's good (at least I think she is). Please Reviewthanks:) I'm kind of lost on the next chapter, I have some written already but I can't get past that part. Do you guys have any ideas? I don't want Edward to find out that it is Bella quit yet. What do you think I should do?
