WARNING: There is abuse in this chapter if you are sensitive please don't read.

Sydney's POV

BOOM, I shot up in bed to a loud banging noise coming from downstairs. I reached over and grabbed my phone, turning it on the time read 3 am. I didn't know what the noise was, but it was startling. I then began to hear the creak of our stairs, my heart started to pound. It's John, he's home and probably in a drunken mood. The fear was dizzying me, I couldn't think straight. What am I supposed to do?! I could hear John's heavy footsteps stomping up the old wooden stairs. Each step he took was getting him closer and closer to my next beating.

BANG! my door crashes open, the door hit the frame so hard you could see a huge dent. My drunk, old, sorry excuse of a father looks at me, then stumbles towards me. His hand collides with my face, I fell back on my bed holding my now re-bruised cheek. He stands over me, towering above me staring with disgust. He grabs a hold of my hair and throws me on the floor. He started repeatedly kicking me in my stomach, over and over. It felt like my organs were turning into sludge. The pain in my abdomen was becoming unbearable. When he finally had stopped kicking me, he looked at me and said "You are nothing, you will always be nothing. No one will ever want you, not me, not even your mother wanted you." That last comment really hit me, he had no right to talk about my mother. She did want me, she loved me...right?

He reached down and began to slide his hand under my shirt. I didn't want his grimy hand on me, I pushed him away not wanting him to be anywhere near me. He stumbled back because of his drunkenness. I knew pushing him away would be a mistake. He stood up and stomped over to me. He unbuckled his jeans and pulled them down. He grabbed my hair and made me look at his area. I didn't want this, he smiled down at me wickedly and said: "This is your responsibility, your job as a female is to pleasure me UNDERSTAND." I was taken aback I can't believe my own father would make me do such a thing. Nevertheless, he forced himself down my throat choking me in the process. Moving my head back and forth continuously ripping himself down my throat. It hurt so bad it felt like he was ripping my esophagus open.

He continued to do this until I was begging and pleading for him to stop. He finally did making me fall to the ground. "If you ever push me again I will end your life!" He turned away and stumbled out of my room. Slamming my door, and leaving me there feeling like nothing. I felt so worthless and pathetic, 'how could I let this happen'. I mean I have abilities why didn't I use them. I crawled over to my bed and lifted myself onto the old mattress. My head hit the pillow the same moment tears began to leak from my eyes. My vision soon began to blur before I was consumed into darkness. The next morning I woke up with new bruises on my stomach and arms. My scalp was aching because of how roughly he pulled my hair last night. And my throat felt terrible, whenever I try to swallow its like swallowing knives. I got dressed in some comfortable clothing not really caring how I looked at this point. Emmett picked me up and I drove with him Alice, and Jasper to school. Once there I continued my day, as usual, however sitting and walking with the Cullen's was now the best part of my days.

[Time skip- 1 month]

Over the last month, Emmett and I had gone on 3 more dates and continued to get closer. Jasper and I had also become really close. All of the boys safeguarded me from anything and anyone, saying that 'I was their little sister, therefore they had to protect me.' I was such a stupid rule but I appreciated it. No one had ever stuck up for me like that. It's now 7:30 pm and I'm doing my homework when my phone buzzes. I look down to see that I have a text from Emmett.

Hey beautiful, my parents really want to meet you tomorrow. They've been asking about you a lot and want to see you.

I was surprised by his message and responded

Really, they want to meet me?

He responded

Yea, we've been talking a lot about you and they are curious to see the girl who has caught my heart.

I felt my face begin to warm. 'Do they really want to meet me'

Ok, I'd be really happy to meet your parent tomorrow.

Great! I'll take you after school tomorrow. See you then, beautiful ;)

I couldn't help but smile, he has been calling me beautiful and babe a lot recently. I mean I know I'm not, but it feels good to have someone make you feel like you matter. I can't believe he asked me to meet his parents, I mean do I really mean that much to him. It would be a dream come true if he liked me the same way I like him. I think I'm in love with Emmett Cullen.
