Warning-there is some cursing in this chapter, not a whole lot but strong ones. This chapter has a lot of anger and pain in it and truth for Bella's life. So read at your own risk.- thought I should warn you.

In my drive way was Charlie's car. My eyes grew wide at the sight, and in the door way were Charlie and Emmet, behind Emmet was Jasper and Carlise. I just stared in horror as Edward drove closer with a confused look on his face, eyebrows pulled together. "What's going on?" he looked at me "Bella, love? What's wrong?" He put the truck in park and cut the engine. At the sound of the truck Emmet turned toward me with fear in his eyes.

"My Father's here." Was all I said before I opened the door to get out. Edward was even more confused, I never told him about my father or why I was adopted, he didn't have to know, and I didn't want him to be part of my pain. When I shut the door Charlie turned to stair at me a grin crossed his face, like he was happy to see me. It made my skin crawl.

"Bella get back in the car!" Emmet screamed. But I didn't, I walked further "Bella!" His hands were trembling, I should of listened to him, but I didn't, I walked closer.

"It's my house, why should I leave?" I sounded stubborn. But I was right, it was my house, he should leave, not me.

"Yea son, she's a big girl now, capable of making her own decisions. And what a beautiful young woman she is." He reached out to touch my face, but Emmet pulled me behind him before contact could be made.

"Don't you dear touch her you son of a bitch!" Emmet screamed

"Now, now Emmet, there's no reason to scream." Charlie put his hands up to show he meant no harm, I wanted to laugh.

"You have no right being here" Carlise spoke with authority

"A Father has every right to see his children."

"We disowned you as a father a long time ago! Now leave!" Emmet shouted

"Son, that hurt" Charlie put his hand on his heart and frowned, that sent me over

"Hurt! HURT! You don't even know hurt till you understand what you put me though! What you did to me now that's hurt! And I've been hurting ever since! No girl, no child, no person should go though what I did! And by the hands of her own father! You were my own father you mother fucker!"I shrieked, tears falling across my cheeks "you have no right to come back into my life! After I'm FINALY happy!" I was so mad; I looked him in the eye as I said these things. And when I was done I spit in his face.

"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN!" he reached out around Emmet and backed handed my face. It took a little over a second for Emmet to react and he punched Charlie square in the nose, and Edward took a swing at his jaw. Jasper and Carlise had to hold them back.

"I know how much you want to, and God knows I want to too, but you can't. Bella needs you, both of you" Jasper spoke calmly. Alice was already helping me up the stairs to my room when I heard Carlise and Jasper escorting Charlie to his car, and Carlise telling him never to go on his property again.

I couldn't see where I was going or really hear anything. Tears were clouding my eyes and there was a ringing in my ears. I knew I was being guided to my room and I could hear three voices, I wasn't sure what they were saying but I knew who they belonged to.

EMPOV

Why the hell did he come? He hurt us enough and he comes back! To do what make sure we're still miserable? When he struck Bella I couldn't control myself, I punched that son of a bitch. And so did Edward, I was happy he was in Bella's life, be made her happy. And God knows she needs all the happiness she can get. Alice took Bella upstairs to her room, Edward and I on her tail. I had to know she was alright. Alice stopped us at her door.

"Go back down stairs, Bella needs a shower." She opened the door then closed it behind her. I didn't notice till now that she was all wet from the rain. I looked at Edward and he was too.

"Do you uh…want some dry cloths?" he looked as torn as I was.

"Yea" we went to my room and I gave him a pair of Jasper's sweats that he left here once. We were down stairs in a few minutes and everyone was in the living room.

"How is she?" Jasper asked

"Alice is helping her get a shower." I sat in the chair and put my head in my hands I felt Rose sit next to me and rub my back.

"I know this is probably a bad time to ask but, what was that about?" Edward looked so confused; I guess Bella hasn't told him.

"Well you have a right to know." I breathed rubbing my face "As you know Edward, Bella and I are adopted." He nodded "Well that was our father. Our mother died in a car accident when Bella was five, Charlie was never the same after that. He drank a lot and got drunk almost every night. At times, when he was drunk he would….take advantage of Bella. That started when she was about nine. At first he would just have her… please him." I sucked in a breath. "But as she got older, and started to grow he would take advantage of her completely. At times he would beat her first." Tears were threatening to fall but I blinked them away. "When she got to be fourteen she would stay out late, hoping he would be past out when she got home. One night Tyler and I got in around one, when we got to the door I could hear banging then I high pitch scream. I knew it was Bella, I bust open the door to see her on the ground, half…naked and…bleeding. There was blood everywhere. I yelled to Tyler to call 911, I could still see her chest moving but it was uneven. I saw Charlie with a knife in his hands and I charged him, I wound up breaking three ribs, his right leg, left arm and fractured his nose." I couldn't talk anymore as tears went down my face, visions of that night filling my brain.

"Bella lost a lot of blood, she was cut many times on her stomach. Most were shallow but a couple were deep, some still have scars. He broke her right arm, fractured her ankle and gave her a minor concussion. He was sentenced to 10 years in jail, but being the chief of police he was let out on parole after 5, I guess that was shortened by good behavior since he was here today." Carlise finished for me. Edward looked pained. Pained for knowing how hurt Bella has been and pained for knowing he can't do anything to make her hurt go away. We both felt the same way.

Now you know why Bella is so hurt, why Emmet is so protective and why she needs happiness. And I'm sorry for having Charlie play a really ugly character.
