I am sorry to hear some of you are starting to not enjoy the story, though think you for telling me, the more feed back the more i know what you all like.

The next few days everyone came to visit, at night Paul would look for Edward while another pack member stayed close to me but I had Sue or someone else to help me wash, and look after myself, I was ready to move back home soon, I just had to visit a physio every month to check my progress, they gave me a load of pain killers while my shoulder fixed. I was walking out of the bathroom in my dressing gown and slippers getting ready to go back home today, I avoided eye contact with most people, I walked to my room, Paul was there, my heart skipped a beat, he always looked so tired, we sat chatting during the day, he would bring me a book or some food, then he was out running with the others in the evening, he never slept, he was too on edge. He sat there with his head in his hands bent over, I stretched my good arm out and placed my hand on his shoulder, he ran his hand over mine pulling it close to him, he pulled it close to his face, he places a soft warm kiss on the back of my hand, I smiled and blinked slowly this took me by surprise, he kept my hand there and looked around meeting my gaze, I just smiled at him, he pulled me closer to him, he looked exhausted, he started to stand as I got closer to him, he pulled my good hand closer, i liked it when it was just Paul and I, he was so different, kind and caring. He sat closer to me.

'Where's our niece?' a lady cried out I looked around I knew that shrike, I moved closer to Paul, this had to be a nightmare.

'LILY!' the booming voice of my uncle echoed embarrassingly through the quietness of the halls, I was leaning against Pauls chest looking t the door in horror, Pauls hand still around mine his arm around me holding me close to him. A rumble coming from his chest, constantly.

'No' I whispered

They almost fell through the door, my Aunt her perm flailing around as though she had been electrocuted my Uncle, his moustach waxed to thin points, their expensive clothes made them look cheap. They must still be winning some money. They looked around and saw me, wrapped in Paul who really was starting to growl loud now I had to tap him a few times to get him to stop.

'Oh Lily we came as soon as we heard!' My Aunt cried throwing her arms up in the air and almost pulled me from Paul I squeezed my eyes closed as my shoulder jolted she held me close and tight to her, the strong smell of Channel No5 almost making my eyes water My aunt and Uncle were big powerful people. My aunt held me tight for a long time her words muffled I couldn't make out what she was saying, just making a big show as always.

She finally let me go I looked back at Paul, he wasn't happy at all, his jaw clenching his hands balled up in his pockets.

'Hell darlin'' My uncle said placing a horrid kiss on my cheek his facial hair brushing against my face.

'What are you both doing here?' I asked them, moving back towards Paul

'We wanted to see if you were okay, Sue told us you were staying with her, and you're little job' My Aunt butted in, I was hurt Sue promised me

'Yeah, We are here to take you home, to look after you and keep you safe' My Uncle said his voice carried around the room and placed his arm around my Aunt.

'Lily is safe here' Paul said in a stern voice

'And you are?' My Uncle said trying to make himself seem larger, though it would never work

'I'm Paul' he said

'So this is the one Lily was going on about' My Uncle said holding his hand I frowned that was such a lie I couldn't believe Sue had told them.

'Who told you about the accident?' I asked them

'Sue told us, she has been keeping us informed about everything' my uncle said as though I should know

'Because YOU never tell us anything, you don't reply to our texts, you could have died' she cried out sobbing, I had seen it all before she moved towards me, I backed into Paul his arm came around me

'Oh my baby' she said falling into my Uncle sobbing I just stood there, it was the same way she cried at my Moms funeral, fake, she was hoping she had inherited the money, not me. My uncle tried to console her.

'We will let you pack hun then we can take you home, enough of this you really need somewhere to life and be looked after' She said softly to me then shot a glare at Paul. They walked out of the room after she reached out and stroked my face, I rolled and turned into Paul, hoping he would make all of this go away, his arms wrapped around me I could hear the growling, I moved back from him, he looked vague he sat on my bed. He looked up at me

'What?' he said confused

'I don't want to go with them' I said shaking my head

'You're not leaving' he said taking my hand I moved towards him, he placed his hands on my waist so I sat down on his lap. I placed my head on his shoulder, his arms came around me, I just closed my eyes

'Don't leave me' I said quietly to him, he kissed the top of my head and kept his lips there

we sat in silence.

I was back at Seth's, I had packed my bag, I had to leave I didn't want to but my aunt and Uncle threatened me with the Police. Paul hadn't left me, I didn't want to leave him.

I heard Sue come through the front door, I didn't want to see her I heard her speak to Paul

'Lily is in her room' He said sounding sad, there was a soft knock on my door and Sue walked in through the door.

'Lil what's going on?' she asked rushing over checking me over

'I got back from work and Seth said your Aunt and Uncle are taking you back to Seattle' she said

'Yup this is what is happening' I said looking at my hands

'Why?' she asked I just felt so sad

'Are you unhappy, is it something I have done or haven't?' Sue worried

'You told them, you promised me you wouldn't tell them anything I knew this would happen' I said looking her in the eye

'I didn't tell them anything' Sue said shocked

'They told me you've been keeping them up to date with everything that had been going on bout Paul and' I just fell silent and dropped my eyes down again, I saw Pauls feet he was leaning in the door frame

'Lily I promise, PROMISE you that I have not said anything to your Aunt or Uncle' Sue said almost pleading

'Then how did they know so much?' I asked her looking at her

'I don't know, but it wasn't from me' sue said taking my hand

'I can't go back with them, Please I can't go back to that' I said getting anxious about everything.

'You won't I'll go talk to them, because I haven't said anything and I want yo to sty here' she said holding me

'Okay, I'm glad you never said anything' I said falling silent, Sue stood up and pulled her phone out and went to the house phone, Paul sat down next to me. I looked at him, he stroked the back of his finger down my cheek and under my chin, I smiled I felt the heat rise in my cheeks. He leaned his head down to mine, I held my breath, I followed his eyes which were just looking down at my lips his other hand moved onto my knee, my shoulder still strapped up tightly. I tilted my head to the side slightly, his warmth washing over me.

'I DID NOT' Sue cried out we paused centimetres away from each other Paul just huffed I placed the first quick kiss on the end of his nose

'not fair' he grumbled I stood up and walked over to where Sue was on the phone she looked so upset I took the phone from her my Uncle was seething down the phone

'You liers, you disgusting liers, I knew Sue would never betray me like you have done, I am never going to go anywhere with you, if you force me to I'll call the police on what you have done to me' I said down the phone not looking at either of them, then there was a deep chuckle from my uncle, I sent shivers through my spine

'We are not leaving without you' he said in a deep chilling voice

'Never' I said gripping the phone hard and slamming it down. I was shaking Sue wrapped her arms around me.

'Lily we need to get help'. I just looked at Paul I could tell he was raging he was breathing heavy.

'Sorry' he said and almost sprinted out of the house a second later there was a snarl and some growling from him.

'I'll call Charlie' Sue said picking up the phone and dialling the number

I went and made myself a hot drink. I sat down drinking it, how I wished my Mom was here, there was a knock at the door, my heart was pounding, Sue opened it Emily walked in. I stood up when I saw her, she looked for me Sam must have been with Paul. Emily saw me and basically ran over to me. I just cried as she held me she tried to sooth me, Sue was talking to Charlie. She sat n the sofa with me I calmed down as I told her what happened in the hospital.

'Lily you can't leave us' Emily said holding my hand

'I don't want to, I know why they want me to'

'Why' Emily asked almost worried

'Because the money from my Mom and the house sale is now mine and they have no access to it unless I m living with them, they gamble it is an addiction they would do or sell anything so that they can do it. They want the money, my money, because I'm not 21, if I live with them and they are my legal guardians until that age then they can access it, they can play the system' I said the words tasting bitter as I spoke them making it a reality.

'No, that is terrible' Emily said shocked

'It is normal' I said sadly ashamed of my family

'If anyone will stop it, it will be Charlie' Emily tried to reassure me.

Emily went to see if Sam and Paul were okay, I waited for a second ten stood and walked over to the front door, the fresh air was welcoming, I went and sat down on the porch steps looking around, I couldn't see anyone or anything, it was peaceful I closed my eyes and enjoyed the momentary bliss. I cradled my shoulder it ached deep inside, I heard Sue hand up the phone

'Charlie will be here soon' she said passing me some tablets then a glass of water I thanked her

'Sue I'm so sorry about all of this' I looked at her

'Don't worry love, all we want is for you to be happy and safe' she smiled at me and walked back inside.

Charlie's Sheriff car pulled up in front of the house, he got out closing the door hard and another officer got out pulling their caps on, I was now inside as I felt cold, I just looked at them, Bella looked like her father.

'Hello Lily' Charlie said I stood and shook his had with my good one it was the wrong way around but they didn't seem to mind

'Deputy Swan and I' the other male officer started

'Lily I think you had better come down the station and we can record everything where we will have acess to your files' Charlie said softer seeing Sue was in the room

'Really? Now?' I asked

'Yeas the sooner the better' The officer continued

'Oh okay, do I need anything?' I asked looking at Sue

'Anything that might help or that involves your aunt and uncle' Charlie said

'Okay, I'll be a second' I walked to my room and rummaged around in my draws finding the paperwork and walked back out, I pulled my phone n, I wanted Paul to be here, I had text Emily she told me that Paul was too angry and in no fit state t be in a confined space, I sighed and text Paul what was going on.

'Sue will you come with me?' I asked her

'Of course' she smiled as we walked to the car, we climbed in and put our belts on, she placed her hand on my leg giving it a small pat, the journey was silent, we pulled up as Charlie led the way for us, I recognised a few officers from that fateful night 2 years ago. Charlie led us in to a small room and started a tape.

'Deputy Swan and Sheriff Adams informally interviewing Miss L Burr accompanied by Ms. S Clearwater' Charlie said into the machine glancing at his watch

'Time 2:37pm' he looked at me I looked around I felt so alone I wanted Paul to be here I needed him

'So Lily, your Aunt and Uncle have got in contact with you recently and threatened you? Is this correct, please tell us everything that has happened and why you are refusing to go back to Seattle with them, even though they are your legal guardians' The other officer said leaning back while Charlie leaned forward with a note pad and pen starting to write things down.

I told them, I told them everything, from how the firsttime I met them was my Moms funeral and then going through the agency and being placed in their care, how their gambling got worse and worse, they would steal and sell things of mine, their friends from where they worked, the way they mistreated me, going without food or sufficient hygine because I was more of a burden, though they did get some money for looking after me though they took that before I could even buy new pants or school supplies.

'I got a job, behind their back so I could, have new shoes, so people at school wouldn't pick on me, I saved enough for a prom dress I was so excited, when I went to get the money it had all gone' I said looking down, they got in to my bank account which was set up with money from my Mom and the sale of the house, I wasn't able to access it until I was 21 though they played the system told the bank I needed it for medical bills, though I never did fall down the stairs, they are liers, all they care about is money, their parties, their status how others perceived them. I had to leave, so I came here I finally felt like I belong here, my friends are here, I can't go back not to that life, I refuse for my safety, I dread to think what they will do now.' I said looking at Charlie him and the other deputy just sat there stern faced, Charlie was writing down in short hand, Sue placed her hand on mine, I wasn't crying I was just so hurt.

They both asked me more questions and bout the agency that handed me over to them, I showed them my text messages from them and previous ones.

'They cut off all communications, so I wrote letters though they would intercept those, keeping me in, got me thinking that the world was against me' I said thinking how much I loved running to the mail box and the joy I felt when there was one for me. The interview went on for ages I had nothing left to tell them.

'Okay Lily that is enough to get started on, thank you for coming in' Sheriff Adams said to me

'Thank you' I said in a small voice

'Conversation/ informal interview terminated at' Charlie glanced down at his watch

'4.11pm' he said we had been brought some drinks mine had gone cold I let out a breath. I shook their hands and then they drove us back in silence once again, Sue and I climbed out the car, Sue old me to go in while she spoke to Charlie, I thanked him again and walked up the porch steps my coat over me as though it was a cape.

The next Week Charlie got in touch with my Aunt and Uncle we had talks and negotiations a few times, it was hard to sit there with them, saying I didn't want to live near them or have them having control over me, I had to pay with my Moms money, they only faught for a short time before they gave up in the end I won, I was free of them, they were angry, they missed the money, Paul helped me though he was normally looking and chasing Edward and his thick army.
