Sydney's POV

I love Emmett!? I said it over and over in my head, trying to find some sort of untruth in the statement. But the longer I said it, the more I realized that I truly did love him. I barley knew him, but I had fallen head over heels in love. I want to be with him, but he would never want to be with me. I know he would never intentionally hurt me; he is to sweet. He's like a giant teddy bear, but I could never be with him. He deserves someone better, someone who is pretty and smart, not beaten and broken. I sighed, I will never be with Emmett Cullen, I'm not good enough.

Suddenly, my bedroom door burst open and my dad was standing there drunk and angry. I looked at him terrified, the words he uttered to me just hours before rang in my head. I shuddered at the thought, I was not meant to be his plaything. He walked over to me and asked, "What is your job?!"

I gave him a pleading look with my eyes, "Please, don't make me do this.". Tears started falling down my face, I didn't want his grimy hands on me. His smile disappeared as he grabbed me by my hair and threw me on my bed. My heart was racing in my chest, I could hear it in my ears. He walked over to my bed and crawled on top of me. He reeked of alcohol, without a word he ripped open my shirt. He traveled down to my pants and pulled them off. I heard him fumbling with his belt buckle, I was trying with all my might to get him off me, but he was to strong.

The next hour for me was hell, pain and more pain was all I could feel. I tried to fight but I only tired myself out, losing what little energy I had to begin with. It still hurt every time this happened. I thought at a certain point it would stop hurting but it didn't. I told myself that I would never, ever allow him to do this, I will always fight as hard as I can. But why was it still happening?! Tears leaked down my face as I closed my mouth and stilled my body. There was nothing I could...wait, my abilities! I had been practicing them when John was at work. Going out into the forest and trying to lift various objects. It really helped as before I could only lift small items. Like lipstick or a leaf. But now I can lift tree branches and very small tree stumps.

I placed my hand on his chest and tried to use my ability to push his body weight off me. I was trying my hardest, but he wasn't moving a muscle. I soon felt his hands wrap around my neck, I couldn't breathe, my throat was constricted, and I couldn't get any air in or out. My lungs started burning like fire from the inside. My vision started to become blurry I could feel my heart beating out of my chest. Darkness started to consume my vision but then relief, I could feel fresh air coming into my lungs. After I caught my breath and my vision returned, I looked at my dad "Are you crazy, you could have killed me!"

He looked me in the eyes and said, " That should teach you to NEVER dis-obey me." I got so angry I felt like my eyes turned red " I WILL NOT OBEY YOU. I AM NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN JUST DO WHAT EVER YOU WANT WITH". He stood there seemingly shocked by my words, in that time I pushed him off me then threw him out of my room. I closed the door in his face and locked it, I slid down to the floor with my back to the door. I sat there for 30 minutes replaying what just happened, I stood up and put on a pair of pajamas then slid under my warm blanket, dosing off into the night.

The next morning, I woke up my whole-body sore from the happenings of the night before. I stood up and walked over to my window, only to see a flash. I was a little startled, I surveyed the thick, green, forests, looking so something... anything. I didn't see anything, just a small bird's nest in the tree by my window. I continued to gaze at the green trees and far woods, until I noticed my dad's cruiser wasn't in the driveway. I sighed a breath of relief, as I wasn't in the mood for another one of his outbursts. I stood up and practically ran to the bathroom to take a shower. Once finished I stepped out of the shower and glanced in the mirror. I saw the red finger prints that were now printed on my skin. I had to cover this up. I walked into my room and opened my desk drawer. I reached in and grabbed my tarte shape tape concealer and Maybelline fit-me foundation. I pulled them both out only to realize that I didn't have anything left in the tubes. 'Crap, what am I going to do, it's not like my dad was going to buy me anymore' I thought. I had been using the makeup my mom had bought me before she passed. I began to panic, I bolted into my bedroom looking for a top to cover my neck. I'm meeting Emmett's parents and if they see the marks, they'll ask questions. I dug around in my room begging to the gods that I have a turtle neck. I finally find a scarf that I could pair with a long sleeve top, to cover the bruises on my arms. I quickly got dressed and ran to school, I entered the school just before the bell was set to ring. When I stopped in the parking lot I could barely breath. My torso was on fire, my dad had most likely bruised or fractured one or a few of my ribs.

"Oh my god Sydney, are you OK?!" I heard a voice call a little way's away. I looked up from where I'm hunched over and see Emmett jogging towards me. "What wrong, what happened to you" he asked with panic in his voice. I looked up at him still catching my breath "Nothing I'm fine, I just fell when I was getting ready this morning." I responded. My vision began to get hazy, my knees buckled, and I collapsed on the ground. "Are you sure you're ok, it looks like you did more than fall" he asked as he wrapped his arms around my waist to help me stand. I nodded my head not being able to communicate words as I caught my breath. Once the haziness began to clear I stood up straight, although my torso was still burning. Emmett offered to walk me to class, I accepted on the off chance I might fall again. "OMG ARE YOU OK!" Alice practically screamed as we walked up to the entrance of the school. "Yes, I'm ok, Alice" everyone stared at me with looks I wasn't sure I wanted them to give. "I promise I'm ok, I just tripped and fell this morning". Everyone looked at each other, then back to me. They had what seemed like worried looks but let it go.

It was 5 period and I had a free period, so I was sitting on a bench outside of school. I had my ear buds in and was listening to Lady Gaga 'Judas'. A cold breeze blew by and I made me ponder whether I should go inside and sit in the library. The ground and roads were covered in snow because of the snow fall last night. I was so zoned out in my music that I didn't feel someone tap my shoulder. I took a deep breath and looked to the right of me, only to be met with a smiling Emmett. I jumped surprised by his sudden appearance. I pulled the white buds out of my ears "Jesus, you scared me" I said. He had a sheepish smile on his face but apologized.

He sat and talked with me all though out 5 period. Once the bell rang It signaled to end of school, or as I like to call it hell. "Are you ready to go" he asked offering his hand as he stood. The reality was beginning to set in that I was meeting his parents. He wanted me to meet his parents. The familiar feeling came bubbling back into my core making my stomach hurt. "Are you sure you really want to introduce me to your parents". He sat down beside me and cupped my face "Yes, I really like you and my parents want to meet you, you don't need to be nervous".

I smiled at him and took a breath. Nodding my head, I stood up, he smiled at me then stood up and held out his hand. Once we reached his jeep, he opened my door. As we raced down the highway, I began getting more anxious as we neared the town boarder. Emmett had attempted to calm me before we left school, but it was no longer working. The anxiety was setting in and I couldn't stop it. My mind was in a whirlwind, 'what am I going to say to my dad about being late.' These thoughts ran through my mind like a hamster on a wheel.

Emmett turned onto a hidden road that seemed like it led into the woods. We were on this road for about 5 mins when a beautiful home came into view. It was built out of beautiful wood and adorned with amazing architecture. I was stunned by the size of the house, I never expected their family to live in a place like this. Hell, I didn't even know this house was here in forks to begin with. It was so hidden; the house was on a slight incline and was surrounded by trees. "Wow, your house is beautiful" Emmett tuned to me and "My mother Esme created the blueprints, she loves architecture".

"Really, well she is absolutely incredible at it". Emmett got out of the jeep and opened my door for me before I even had a chance to grab the handle. I thanked him and stepped out of the car, he led me to the front porch. Emmett opened the door and the inside was just as beautiful as the outside. The walls were made of glass, I had never seen anything like it. As we continued to walk through the large mansion two beautiful people came into view. Both pale with remarkable, inhuman beauty. The woman was about 5'6 with a heart-shaped faced and medium length caramel curls falling down her back. She had on a black pencil with a white riffled shirt. She had on a pair of black triangle pumps and her neck was adorned with a string of pearls.

The man had a strong jaw and straight nose with blonde hair that was gelled back. He had on a thick, blue, wool sweater with dark jeans and a pair of dress shoes. We stopped right in front of them when I suddenly felt very calm and safe, like I could trust these people. "Sydney these are my parents Esme and Carlisle Cullen. Mom, dad this is Sydney". I smiled at them and waved "Hi" Esme walked up to me with open arms and hugged me "It's so good to finally meet you. I have heard so much about you". I hugged her back then responded, "It's nice to meet you to Mrs. Cullen", when she hugged me it was very delicate, like she was scared she would crush me. "Please dear, call me Esme" I smiled at her then looked in the direction of Carlisle. "Hello Sydney" I walked over to him and he held out his hand, I shook it and said, "Should I call you Dr. Cullen or Carlisle". He chuckled and said "Carlisle is fine, no need to be so formal" I nodded my head in understanding. "Let's go up to the living room, we have some other family we want you to meet".

All four of us walked a little way's away from the door to a glass staircase 'Wow these people were well off, I hope Emmett doesn't think that I am after his money... or rather his parent's money'. As I stepped off the last stair I tripped, I was waiting to feel the hard crash onto the floor, but I didn't. When I opened my eyes, I was looking into a pair of the most beautiful golden irises "Are you ok" I was hypnotized by these beautiful eyes, I had never seen anything like them. I knew who they belonged to, but every time I gazed into them, they showed a whirlwind of emotions. I snapped out of my day dreaming after Emmett helped me stand back up. I looked over and saw Esme and Carlisle looking at us with such tenderness.

I smiled at them sheepishly "Sorry, I'm a bit of a klutz", everyone just smiled at me and continued to walk towards the living room. When we finally entered the living room there were a couple of people I didn't recognize. One was a male who looked to be about 19 or 20 years old, he was just as pale as everyone else but had long, curly, light brown hair. The other two, were females, one looked to be about my age with long chocolate brown hair. The other one was younger than any of us, she looked to be about 9-10 years old. She had chocolate brown hair just like the older female and had a light blush to her cheeks, she was the most adorable child I had ever seen.

"Sydney, these are our other adoptive children Bella, Reneesme, and Benjamin" I looked at the others sitting on the couch, they looked and smiled. I waved back and introduced myself, once I finished everyone broke out into conversation.

I found out that Benjamin and Rosalie are together, and Bella and Edward are together. I also found out that Renesmee was there little sister. She was so sweet, I couldn't stop talking to her. I spent the rest of the day at the Cullen's, in between playing with Renesmee, talking about sports with Benjamin, and Alice talking about taking me on a shopping trip I was exhausted. I looked over at the clock and it said 7:30 I knew I would have to deal with my dad when I got home but I decided to enjoy the time I had with the Cullen's rather than worry. I had been talking to Emmett this past hour and decided that it was time for me to get home. "Hey, I think it's time for me to get back home" he shook his head and said, "No, your staying here tonight, Alice already called and asked your father if you could stay". I was shocked, why would my dad allow me to stay at someone's house.

When I felt hand on my shoulder, I turned to see Alice "I put some change of clothes in the bathroom that you can wear". I nodded my head and she led me up the stairs. When I entered the bathroom, I saw some sweats folded on the counter. I closed the door behind me and got changed, I stepped out of the bathroom to be greeted by Alice, Bella, Rosalie, and Renesmee. They grabbed my hands and lead me into a bedroom with blankets, popcorn, and movies on the floor. I smiled as we sat down facing the TV, after 2 movies I feel into a dreamless sleep the happiest I've been in so long.
