It is so quiet...you could hear everyone's individual breathes through the room. The tension is thick, heavy, like a deep fog blocking all vision.

But we can see each other, and I wish we couldn't.

I held on to Edward's arm, stubborn to let go, as he stared at Carlisle.

He didn't say anything, but his expression said everything.

Angry, hurt, confusion, disgust, and disappointment.

It was hard to look at his face and not be affected by it.

Yet, he didn't say anything.

It was almost as worse as silence.

"How could this have happened?" Carlisle spoke so softly, that I strained to hear what he said.

"Dad..." I started to say.

"Shut the hell up." He snapped, loudly, and mom squeezed his arm tighter.

"Don't talk to her like that." Edward said, his focus on his angry father.

"You shut the hell up, too." Carlisle said calmly.

"Carlisle, please, they love each other, we shouldn't push them away-" Mom looked up to Carlisle.

"No! No, no, no, no! That's exactly the issue, Esme! Look at her, this is your daughter, who is also MY daughter! And she is in love wit my son, MY son." He spat out. Edward flinched when he said "my son".

"If you don't like it, we will leave." Edward tugged on my arm, and led me towards the stairs.

"Don't think you're going to run away from this, because you can't. I talked to your mother, and you're going to stay with her and Charlie." Carlisle glared at Edward.

"I'm not going to live with them." Edward deadpanned, and stepped on one step of the stairs.

"You don't have a choice."

"The hell I do."

"Edward, I'm warning you."

"Then don't, Bella and I will leave."

Carlisle charged at Edward, grabbing his shoulders, hard.

I was knocked off his arm in the process, and slammed into the wall.

"Don't you fucking see? Don't you?! You're never going to live a happy life if you continue to live this incest shit with Bella! You're not going to, dammit!!" He shook Edward repeatedly, his head swinging with the force.

"That's where you're wrong, dad. With Bella, I do live a happy life. The happiest that I've ever been. You're not talking that away from me." Edward replied with such passion, that I felt his words.

Carlisle felt them, too.

Then he punched Edward in the face.

"You're not my son, I don't know who the fuck you are, but you're not my son." Carlisle spoke as Edward's nose started to bleed.

"So be it." Edward spit blood at Carlisle, and swung his fist towards the side of his head. It connected, knocking Carlisle back a few steps.

"Stop it!!!" Mom cried as that started fighting, pushing a table with a vase over. I watched, incredulous, as their fists flew at each other, as their perfect faces changed.

Once unscarred faces, now were marred with cuts, blood, blue bruises, and bestial expressions.

Their fighting to prove who is right, who is the most powerful, and who makes the final decision.

Does Edward leave or not?

Finally, my feet started to move. And then my arms, and then my voice started to work.

"Stop it, please!" I screamed as I ran in the middle of the fight, and I felt a fist collide into my cheek. My jaw cracked, the fist smashing into my gums, and teeth.

It felt like slow motion, as my head snapped back, painfully, and my body started falling backwards.

Edward dove to catch me, Carlisle stared at his fist.

He was the one that punched me.

"Bella!" Mom was at my side, shaking me slightly.

"Get away from her!" Edward roared, picking up my body.

I was carried outside, the bright sun burning my eyelids.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I really didn't." I spoke slurred.

"Don't ever come back here." Carlisle's voice rang loud and clear. That's the last thing I remember.

My eyes popped open, and I sat up. A little to fast.

My vision went blurry and dizzy, and I clutched my head in pain.

A hand pushed my down gently, and caressed my neck.

"Don't get up so fast." Edward smiled weakly at me.

"Where am I?" I asked, looking around, and noticing that I am in a car.

The Volvo.

I loosened my seat belt, and waited for Edward to answer.

"We left. After Carlisle punched you, by accident, I had to get you out of there. I would have killed him, if I didn't." He snarled, gripping the wheel tightly.

"So where are we going?" I rubbed his arm, and he relaxed.

"The only place I can think of." Edward clenched his teeth tightly.

"And that's?" I pressed on.

"Jacob's house." Edward turned a hard left, and we were in front of Jacob's house.

And he was waiting for us.

His eyes were horrifically wide as he took in my face, so I knew I didn't look too good.

"I called that lady, Victoria, and she said that she can test Bella's hair tomorrow. All I could find was antibiotic gel in the house, so that and ice should help Bella's cheek." Jacob spoke to Edward as he picked me up out of the car.

My arms locked around Edward's shoulders, and I leaned my head on his chest.

"Thank you, Jacob. You don't know how much help you've done for us." Edward held me a little tighter.

"I'm not doing it for you, it's for Bella." Jacob said quietly.

I felt my vision grow dark, and I closed my eyes to sleep.

"He did a number on her face." Jake lightly touched my swollen cheek.

"Once its proved that we aren't related, I'm taking her far away from this place. She will never get hurt again." Edward kissed my forehead.

I smiled sleepily, and went to sleep.

Edward can't protect me from everything.

The proof is literally on my face.
