Chapter Five: The Truth Revealed VPOV

"Thank you, Jace. You're the best boyfriend in the world," I replied, bringing my head up to his and kissing him on the lips again. He pulled back and smiled at me, and with another quick goodbye he was out the door and I was alone. Wow-this day had gone from horrendous to great. Let's just hope it stays that way, I thought to myself and headed up to my room to work on the homework Jace had given to me.

Kevin didn't come home that night, and for that I was grateful. He was probably at some tramp's house doing goodness knows what and man did I not want to know. As I was working on my homework I thought about how close I had come to telling Jace the truth. I wanted to so badly, but I couldn't. If he knew, he probably wouldn't like me anymore and my life would be pointless. I'd probably just end my life and get it over with, there was no one else like Jace in the world and I didn't want anyone other than him. I could already tell he was the one I would spend the rest of my life with. I know, I sound like every other teenager in love but I really believed he was. Jace and I talked on the phone all night, laughing and joking all the while. I couldn't think of a time when I was happier. At twelve o'clock we said our goodbyes and I fell into a peaceful sleep, dreaming of Jace.

I woke up in the morning, smiling, something I didn't do often-only when I thought of Jace. I quickly got ready, taking a little more time to cover up the bruises and cuts on my face, thankfully the swelling had gone down quite a bit. Jace had asked me the night before to come and eat at the diner with him, and I really didn't mind. When I reached the restaurant Jace was already there, a smile planted on his face. I sat down beside him and he gave me a kiss on the cheek. While we ate we talked, not bringing up the painful memories of yesterday. We went to school and of course talked whenever we saw each other and it passed quickly.

At lunch, Jace brought up the topic of our families. He told me about how he was adopted, him and his brother Jacob had been adopted into the same family. He had seven other adopted siblings too. When he told me that I choked on my water, he patted me on my back and made sure I was ok before he continued on. Carlisle and Esme were his parents, he'd never met his real ones-they'd died in a car crash when he was little. When he told me that I felt a pang of sympathy for him. Sure my parents weren't the best in the world but I had gotten to meet them. But we had something in common too, we didn't know our mothers. I mean hell the only contact I'd had with her over the past almost seven years was a child support check every month but he had never even met her. Then he started asking me about my family and I almost choked again. There was no way in hell I could tell him the truth so I just told him my mom died and my father had raised me my whole life. Well it was partially true…

He seemed to buy my story and smiled at me, taking my hand in his. "Violet, how would you like to come to my house with me tomorrow and meet my family?" he asked staring intently into my eyes. I thought about it for a second. It sounded like they were good people but meet his family? Did that mean we were getting pretty serious or something? Oh well of course I'd say yes, the more time to spend with him the better. "I'd love to. So on Saturday? At what time?" I replied. "I'll come pick you up around five tomorrow. I figured we could eat dinner and then watch a movie or something. Or maybe something else entirely if that's what you want," he stated, sounding kind of nervous. I giggled, replying, "Quit worrying, Jace. I'd love to meet your family silly. And dinner and a movie sounds very nice to me." That must have made him calm down some because he smiled, reaching over and giving me a peck on the lips. Then the bell rang, scaring me just a little. You know how I said I was coming to love the bell? Well guess what? I hated it now. "Will it be okay with your father if you came?" he questioned as he walked me to class. "I'm sure he'll be fine with it," I responded. I wouldn't tell Kevin where I was going, I could think of an excuse for him later.

The rest of school passed swiftly, Jace walked me to my car at the end of the day and told me that he'd call me later. Giving him a good kiss on the lips we said our goodbyes and I got into my car and sped off. I didn't go home at first because I had to go to the store and get some things I needed. I was actually kind of nervous about meeting Jace's family. I didn't really know what to wear and Jace didn't mention that his family was rich but I could tell they were because of his car and clothes. I finished buying the things I needed and headed home-probably to face torment and agony. I was getting kind of sick of having to come home and get beat but I didn't have anywhere else to go.

When I got home, shutting my car off I noticed Kevin still wasn't home. Good, I thought, maybe he'd leave me alone until I went to Jace's tomorrow. I went into my room and began to look in my pitiful closet. Everything I owned was either black, purple, or red (the majority black) so that just screamed I was depressed or something and I didn't own any dresses at all. Just then I remembered that I did own a skirt though. It was at the back of my closet, and it looked like it would still fit me. It was black and layered, one layer was black and red striped and another had mini red skulls and candy on it. Actually it was sort of cute. I thought about it a while and decided to pair it with a tight black v-neck t-shirt and a pair of boot-Converses that came up to my knees. Thankfully only a little bit of my scarred and bruised legs would show from underneath the skirt but I didn't know how to cover up my arms without looking ridiculous. I really wanted to impress Jace's family and look good but I knew in reality they probably wouldn't like the 'Little Emo Girl' Jace bought home with him, great. As if he knew I was stressing out Jace called and asked me how I was. "I'm really stressing out over meeting your family. I mean what if they don't like me or something?" I stressed into the phone, my stomach turning butterflies. "Don't, Violet. I can assure that they'll love you, just be yourself," he replied, sounding happy and not at all worried. Myself? The emo, cutting-myself-to-make-the-pain-go-away girl? Ha, yeah right. "Ok. I'll try. I can't wait though, Jace. If they're anything like you then I'm sure I'll like them," I said, laying on my bed staring up at the ceiling. "Oh, but remember one thing. Ignore ANYTHING Emmett says because he is a big jackass," Jace said. On the end of his line I could hear someone, Emmett probably, say, "Hey, I resent that," causing me to giggle. "I will, I promise," I stated back. We chatted a while longer until it was time for us to go to sleep. I planned on sleeping as late as I could tomorrow and then getting ready to go to Jace's.

I fell asleep, having only good dreams about Jace and I. Some of them were silly, like us going to Disney Land and stuff like that. Very random if you ask me. I woke up at three in the afternoon. Apparently Kevin wasn't home because if he was I'm sure he would have woken me up by now. Sighing I got up and stretched, smiling because outside the sun was shining. Not something that happened often, that is the sun shining. I slowly made my way into the hallway and took a shower. I felt a very awful, sharp pain in my stomach and legs. I bet I know what that is! I thought. Sure enough I had my period-gah. I absolutely hated getting it, I was always grumpy and it hurt like hell. I took a long shower, trying to calm my nerves about today. I actually got to meet Jace's parents! I got to see where Jace lived and so many more wonderful things. I made sure that I shaved since I was going to be wearing a skirt. Ugh-that was not something I looked forward to… The water began to get cold so I got out. I looked at the clock-it was only 3:45, and hour and fifteen minutes until I got to see him. Looking in the mirror I frowned, I still had cuts all over my forehead and a bruise. I just hoped and prayed that I could cover it up with a little makeup.

Surprisingly makeup actually covered them up pretty good. I didn't feel like looking like Raggedy Anne so I flat ironed my hair, in doing so making it look a few inches longer. Then I went into my bedroom and began slowly getting dressed to take up the time. When I got done getting dressed it was 4:45, fifteen more minutes until I got to see him. Smiling I glanced over at my phone that had begun to vibrate. It was a text from Jace. I'll be at your house in about five minutes,it said. I replied back that it was fine with me and my heart began to flutter nervously. I was actually going to meet his parents and family! But would they like me was the real question. Jace said they would but I still had my doubts, I wasn't a normal person. I had things wrong with me, serious things-things that Jace didn't even know about… Before I could think of anything more, I heard a horn beep outside. Looking out my window to make sure it was Jace I gathered my hoodie and purse full of "things" I might need later. I practically ran out of my house and to his car which looked very out of place in my shabby yard. Jace got out of his car and came around to hug me tightly before helping me into his car. On the inside of his car was soft leather and shiny wood that I couldn't help but looking at. If I have to admit it I was kind of in awe. Never in my life before had I seen something so extravagant. "I take it you like my car?" chuckled Jace as he reached over and took my hand. "Yeah, very much. Thanks for inviting me over to your place," I replied, looking over at him and smiling. "You're welcome. And you look really beautiful, by the way," he said, squeezing my hand and in return making my heart flutter. His hand, like always was really hot, just like his lips and the rest of his skin. I didn't want to seem rude and ask him why, he probably had a medical condition or something. But it was kind of strange though…

The rest of the drive we talked quietly, I was pretty nervous about meeting his family. As we pulled down probably the longest driveway in history I began to shake a little in apprehension. "Don't worry, love, it'll be alright," Jace said, stroking my hand with his. It helped me to calm down a little but I was still just so damn nervous it wasn't even funny. Finally the driveway ended and we pulled up to the biggest flippin' house I had ever seen. My mouth popped open in shock and I couldn't help but blurt out, "Damn. You live here? This house is big enough to fit probably almost all of town in it." He chuckled at my little outburst and said, "Yeah, this is my home. It can get kind of small though when so many people live in it though." I nodded, not being able to take my eyes off of his house. I had expected something extravagant as his home but certainly not like this. The house had beautiful landscaping, a huge pond out front, not to mention stone work that was beautiful and it was easily three stories. (A/N: Picture on my profile of the house!) Jace parked beside the huge garage and then came over to my side and helped me out. By then my heart was racing a mile a minute and Jace whispered in my ear, "Calm down. They won't bite, I promise." I nodded and took in a deep breath to calm down. Taking my hand he led me up the sidewalk and entered his house. The foyer to his home was huge, a crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, the walls painted a creamy eggshell white. Paintings adorned the walls and I could already tell his family was quite stylish.

We entered his living room then, where his family was awaiting us. It also was painted white, with red furniture stylishly placed about and paintings on the wall, and smooth marble for flooring. As I looked around the room I was taken aback by how beautiful his family was. I was definitely going to stand out like a pigeon in a flock of peacocks here. A woman, Esme I assumed, stepped forward and greeted us, accompanied by a blonde man. "We're so happy to finally meet you, Violet. Jace has told us so much about you," she stated, coming forward and giving me a tight hug. I was shocked by the personal boundary violation because I wasn't used to that sort of thing from anyone besides Jace but I hugged her back to be polite. I smiled back and the blonde man, I think Carlisle, came forward and shook my hand. "Its nice to meet you all," I stated, smiling nervously, looking around at all of the beautiful people around me. "Violet I'd like to introduce you to my siblings; Jacob, Renesmee, Bella, Edward, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett," Jace said, gesturing to each person as he said their names. Renesmee looked like she was about to burst open from happiness and skipped towards us, enveloping me in a hug. "Its so nice to meet you Violet! You're so pretty! I'm glad Jace finally found someone because he was a bit of a grouch before you came along," she said, stepping back to look at me. I smiled back and squeezed Jace's hand tighter. "Thanks, I'm glad I found him too," I stated back leaning into Jace and in return he hugged me. Renesmee returned to her place by who I assumed as Jacob (because of the way Jace had described everyone I could pretty much tell who was who). Before we could do anything else, Esme called out from the kitchen, "Dinner is ready, kids." And with that Jace dragged me into his dining room which was huge considering how many people had to eat there. On the table was a duck with mashed potatoes, green been casserole, dressing, stuffed tomatoes, and sweet bread rolls. Practically a feast that could feed an army if you ask me. Jace led me to the table where he pulled out a chair for me and pushed me in before seating himself right beside me. Renesmee sat on the other side of me and Emmett in front of me, who was starting to look kind of scary considering how big they were and Jacob too. Everyone began passing around the dishes and Esme cut some of the duck for everyone. I felt a pang of longing go off in me, longing for a family like this one. Everyone seemed so at ease and nice to each other. I couldn't imagine ever having a family like that, come to think of it mine was practically the complete opposite. Jace's family was nice to me, talking to me and asking me questions and before I knew it I felt at ease, like I could trust these people.

At the end of the meal Esme bought out a big pumpkin pie, something I hadn't had since my mom left and it certainly was something I loved. Thinking about my mom reminded me of how much I wished I had a family like this, if only she hadn't of left then that might have been possible. After dessert Jace led me into his living room, where a huge and I mean HUGE TV was, it took up probably most of the wall it was on and I am not kidding. Jace pulled me down onto one of the couches and into his lap. It kind of made me uncomfortable because of how many people were around but I wasn't complaining at all. Somehow the lights got turned out and Emmett called out, "We're gonna leave you two little love birds alone but make sure you behave!" I blushed but thankfully Jace was there to help keep me calm and he turned a movie on. What the movie was about though I cant remember. The only thing I could think about was Jace. I could smell him all around me, his musky, sweet smell and feel him pressed up against me. Never in my life had I felt so at peace and I guess I drifted off to sleep because that's when the nightmare started.

It was of Kevin and I. He was stabbing me in the stomach and it was so real. I could actually feel him hitting me. I cried out for him to stop but he wouldn't. I could feel the tears streaming down my cheeks like they were actually there and I could hear someone calling out my name repeatedly. Slowly I came awake and the first thing I saw was Jace's worried face in front of mine. Hot tears poured out of my eyes at the sight oh him, I knew I was safe here with him. "Violet, look at me. Who is Kevin, and what do you want them to stop?" he asked, gripping my arms. "What are you talking about?" I sobbed. I was confused, was I talking during my sleep? "You were screaming out in your sleep, Violet. Saying 'No Kevin! Please stop'," he stated, staring me deep into my eyes. I knew I couldn't escape telling him the truth this time but could I trust him with my biggest secret? What would he think when he knew I had lied to him? "Jace, I have to get something off of my chest. Kevin is my step-dad and in my dream he was hurting me. But Jace, I've lied to you. My mom didn't die when I was little, she ran off with another man. And ever since then Kevin has beat me. That's why I have all of these bruises and scars all over me, and he was the one who pushed me down the stairs the other day. And I didn't get into a car accident and get all of these scars on my arms. I cut myself to try and stop the pain from him hitting me. I'm sorry Jace, I really am. I know you must hate me now that you know the truth. I'm sorry," I cried. The last part where I told him I was sorry came out in barely a whisper because I was sobbing so hard.

I had finally told him the truth. There was no going back now, I had to face the consequences. "Violet, its going to be okay. I'm not mad at you for lying, you had every right to. I understand now and I promise you that if that bastard ever lays a hand on you I will personally rip him limb from limb. Because I love you," he growled, looking me in the eyes, his own tears pouring down his face. "I love you too," I replied meaning it passionately. I couldn't take it any longer, I reached up and put my lips on his. Our mouths moved in synchronization, his tongue entered my mouth and I gladly accepted it. Somehow we ended up on his bed in his room, kissing passionately. I wanted to tell him how much I loved him, to show him.

Somehow his shirt came off and as I stared up at his beautifully sculpted chest it sunk in about what we were about to do. I knew we should wait but I didn't want to. I wanted to show him he meant everything to me, and how much I loved him. That night something magical happened. Something that I had never thought I was going to be able to do, ever. We showed each other how much we loved each other and much, much more. He took me to the stars and I knew that I would love him forever. Absolutely and always. He was my now and future, something I couldn't live without. And I planned on keeping him as long as I could, forever if possible. I knew he was meant to be with me and I was going to keep it that way. Nothing would get in between us, nothing.
