I apologize I think ths chapter is a little bit over the place. I hope you like it anyway.


Today has been a complete and utter disaster, I knew that therapy would be horrible, but I had no idea just how horrible it would be. The first one wasn't that bad, in fact it was actually kind of nice, the woman who has been assigned to be my counsellor is actually really kind apparently she is Dr Cullen's wife. She told me I didn't have to say anything so of course I didn't, but she told me many stories, she told me this wasn't my fault.. what happened to me, I don't believe her but she makes it nice to here. So yes that was fine, the real disaster happened when I walked into the group therapy, let me tell you what happened.

When I walked in, I was nervous unbelievably nervous, there was so many people there, girls and boys, men and women, all of them already sitting on chairs in a circle.

"Ah you must be the new girl" the man says with a sneer, "take a seat" he says gesturing to the empty chair beside.. the blonde haired boy. I groan mentally but only nod on the outside as I walk towards the chair and sit down next to him and another random girl. "Considering we have a new patient why don't you all introduce yourself and tell her a little about you or whatever" even then I knew that this man had no interest in those supposedly in his care. "We'll start with you" he points towards the girl next to me.

"Hi I'm Lauren and I think this is stupid" she muttered as she glared at me with distain, she's a fucking bitch, she's the girl I heard talking about everyone else yesterday.

"I'm Karie and I'm here because I tried to kill myself."

"I'm Thomas and its none of your business why I'm here."

"I'm Callie and I'm here because" she trailed off looking down "because my dad abused me"

I can't remember what the others said, expect the boy sitting next to me.

"I'm Jasper and I'm here because I punched my teacher…. repeatedly" his voice was deep and I am sure I can hear the faintest hint of an accent, he sounds like he could be eastern European, he even looks it.

I knew it was my turn, hell I could feel everyone's eyes on me, but I don't say anything. "Isabella we are waiting" he said a hint of annoyance in his voice. I shook my head.

"You have.."

"She doesn't speak" Jasper said from beside of me, I was actually kind of surprised that someone came to my defence, no one had ever done that before and furthermore how did he know that? I never told him, perhaps he just noticed he seems like the observant type.

I was blushing and looking down at the ground "she doesn't have a choice. SPEAK" he snaps out, I flinch backwards away from him, there was no way I was going to speak, I was so scared he was going to hit me though!

"What are you deaf, I just gave you an order, honestly someone needs to knock some sense into you girl" I could hear the shocked gasp of everyone around me, and Jasper put his arm around me and

"Looks like someone already did" the girl Lauren said from beside of me.

Which was followed by even more dramatic gasps, at that moment I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me, I think that was the last straw I stood and ran from the room, I am sure that I am going to have to speak to someone about that but let's just hope the man has the decency to leave me alone.

I will write again soon

-Bella

The rest of the week passed far too quickly in a blur of classes and therapy, the man that led the group session had taken to completely blanking Bella now and for that she was grateful, she would rather people ignored her than paid attention, the only person who didn't seem to understand that was Jasper, she had noticed that he had been watching her more and more, making it harder for her to sneak food out of the hall, she had only managed it a couple of times and she had disposed of it down the toilet where no one would ever know.

Now the day that she had been dreading was finally upon her, the first Saturday of the month, which apparently meant a weigh in, not only that but it was visitors weekend and Bella knew that there would be no one there to see her, unless James came, in a way she hoped that he would come, she missed James for all his faults he could be sweet to her and he loved her.

"Lauren" A voice calls up, yeah that's the worst part, they had to get weighed in front of everyone.. well everyone suffering a disorder, Bella stares at the scale with a small frown on her face, she hated the scale it only affirmed just how disgusting she was.

"99 pounds, you seem to have lost half a pound" Carlisle says with a frown on his face, as Lauren turns away a proud smirk flitters across her face, the bitch probably knew she was the smallest out of everyone.

"You know what that means you're on a high fat diet next week." Bella shivers in disgust she had heard about that, apparently it was loaded with carbs and fat, the only plus side is Laurens smirk was quickly wiped away.

"Callie, hmm 101 good progress."

"Adam, 110 your very close to your target weight."

The list goes on and on.

"Bella" he says with a friendly smile, slowly and nervously she walks up stepping on the scale, her eyes closed as she waits to hear the figure "94 pounds" her eyes snap over as she hears Laurens outraged squeal from behind her, Isabella smiles brightly. "I don't know how this happened." His tone lowers "I wish to speak to you in my office afterwards" he says solemnly causing Isabella to gulp and nod timidly as she walks away from the scale. Watching the last few girls get weighed.

"Go and get dressed." Carlisle says all girls were required to wear gowns as they were getting weighed probably to prevent them from adding any extra weight. Isabella turns and begins to walk back to her room. She gasps as she is suddenly sent flying forwards and onto her knees.

"Watch were you are going" Lauren snickers, two girls giggling next to her as Bella looks up at her in disgust watching the girls walk away. She rises and sniffles softly as she walks back to her room and quickly dresses in a thick sweater and a pair of jeans.

Meanwhile Carlisle Cullen sits in his office, staring down at the figures again, how could she be losing weight, he would have understood if it was half a pound or even a pound, but not five pounds it was simply unacceptable and Isabella was the one girl who really couldn't afford to lose any more weight. The question is how had she done it? She had been ingesting over 1200 calories a day, which is a lot less than a woman should yes, but as her previous calorie intake was less than five hundred she should have put on at least two or three pounds.

Carlisle sighs heavily as he hears a knock on the door "come in" he shouts out as he immediately straightens, shuffling the papers on his desk into one neat pile just as the door creeps open. In walks Isabella and Carlisle cannot help but notice that she is extremely underweight, her skin is so pale and there are dark circles under her eyes, the only improvement is that the bruise is starting to help. "So Isabella how are you?"

He studies her face carefully, watching as she bites her lower lip gently, she looks as though she is debating something "fine" she says finally, her voice soft and sweet, Carlisle smiles a little at that it was the first time she had spoken to him, sure it wasn't exactly much but at least it was something.

"Your test results don't seem to agree with you there" he tells her sternly "you've lost too much weight."

The young girl before him didn't seem to believe so and Dr Cullen knew this. It was so disheartening to him to see so many girls pass through here that had such a distorted image of themselves and their bodies. The sad fact is that most of these girls were normal to begin with, happy and healthy but they did not seem to realise that they were doing more harm than good to themselves. "Help me to understand you, you seem to have been doing so well in all other aspects, you have a glowing report from your English teacher, Esme seems to adore you, she said that you showed her some of your writing" he sees the girl stiffen "she didn't show me them Isabella, she would not do that to you" he quickly rectifies not wanting to destroy the trust between the two.

Isabella continues to sit in silence causing Carlisle to let out a frustrated sigh, shaking his head "why won't you speak? you can trust me Isabella, anything that you say will be in confidence." And it would be, not only was it a promise he made to himself it was a legal obligation, he had to keep it between the two of them.

He sighs as he looks at her "you can go now, but I will be keeping a closer eye on you Isabella" He watches as the young girl stands up and walks from the room, he didn't understand her and he had a master in phycology.

Due to his busy schedule he completely forgot that Isabella had no one to visit her, he did not think about how hard it would be for her in a group of happy people.

Jasper sits at the table as his brother approaches "hey man" he says, slapping Edwards hand, Edward gives a short nod.

"How's it going?"

"Much better, I just want to get out of here."

"Of course you do and I am doing everything I can to make that happen, but the judge said you had to stay in here until you make some progress."

"Fuck I know you do not have to keep reminding me" Jasper says as he rolls his eyes, he knew that already.

Edward lets out a throaty chuckle "Guess you don't want to know what we did to him then" he teases and for a moment Jaspers stomach clenches " shit don't look like that, he had warnings before the trail, he just chose to ignore them and you know he did, so I had to show him no one fucks with the Masen's"

Jasper knew it was true "thanks man" he says solemnly, usually they spoke in Russian when discussing the business but there was no one in immediate hearing age.

"Holy motherfucking.." Jasper glances up to see my brother looking at the door, he snaps his head around to see Bella, she looked as though she had been crying, her eyes were red and puffy, his heart truly went out to the girl, but if he knew his brother he probably didn't have quite as honourable intentions.

"Don't even go there."

"Shit man" he snaps his head back to me "I wasn't even thinking about that, she just looks kind of familiar" Edward says, Jasper raises his eyebrow, where would Edward know Isabella.

He decides to confess "I feel drawn to her, I feel the need to heal her Edward" I admit "don't rip on me."

But Edwards eyes aren't focused on Jasper anymore, he is still focusing on Isabella. "I'll find out more about her" he says shortly, which surprises Jasper Edward didn't care about anything but himself.

They spend the rest of the time talking about business and avoiding the subject of Isabella but neither of the men can keep their eyes of Bella in the corner, looking so sad and vulnerable.
