Summary: Bella wasn't always the bad girl she is today, she was good and shy until her mother walked out on her and her father six years ago.
Her father, Charlie, is struggling to handle his daughter's behavior, so he calls his army friend in hopes he can get Bella on the right path again. Will Carlisle be able to reign in his friend's angry and broken daughter back in with some hard discipline and love?
Bella walks to her new room in Nevada City after helping Carlisle clean up dinner.
The room is medium sized with a double dark green velvet bed-set with matching throws and pillows across it. There's a double closet opposite the en-suite bathroom. On top of a TV unit is a 50 inch plasma TV.
Turning on the TV, Bella puts a music station on and starts unpacking her black suitcase that rests on her bed. Underneath her clothes are four pictures: one of her and her father, one of her and her mother before she walked out, one of her and her parents in the park and one of her parents in the living room with her mother on her father's lap, kissing. They were so happy then all of a sudden their happiness ended without an explanation or a reason. What happened to their happiness?
"Isabella?" Carlisle's voice asks in her doorway.
Turning around, she sees her new guardian leaning against the door frame. "What?" Bella snaps, putting her pictures on her bedside table. "Are you okay?" Carlisle asks, coming into the room, Bella shrugs.
Is she all right?
"A verbal answer please." Carlisle says, causing Bella to groan. "Yes, I'm fine, now can you leave so I can get changed?" Bella asks the man who hovers. Carlisle sighs. "Goodnight, Isabella." Carlisle says softly, coming to kiss her forehead. "Sleep well, if you need me, my room is at the end of the hall." Bella nods. "Right, thanks." Bella says, watching as Carlisle walks out of the room, leaving her to her own devices.
Stepping into the shower, she lets the hot water wash over body, letting the water rinse off the travelling sweat and dirt from the day.
After wrapping herself in a fluffy purple towel, Bella goes into her room, drying and dressing into pink pyjamas before crawling into her new bed, falling into a dreamless sleep, not noticing that Carlisle checked up on her before he too went to sleep.
