Two Worlds!
Bella P.O.V.
I woke up the next morning in terrible pain. My neck hurt to the point that I couldn't turn it. The bruises on my arms were already starting to fade and the one on my leg was hardly noticeable. I woke up and Ben wasn't there. I figured that I better go look for him. I didn't know if he was here at all last night and for all I knew he could've been passed out in the ballroom. I couldn't remember the last time he had done this. It was a long time ago. He was out all night it was right after my mother told me that I was getting married. It was my first night at Ben's.

"Bella darling I'm going out for a while. I'll be back around 9:00."
"Okay where are you going?"
"Why don't you trust me?"
No.
"Yes but it's just that-"
"Well if this is going to work then you'll have to have faith in me." He walked out slamming the door behind him.

9:00...10:00...11:00...12:00. I was getting tired and it was about time that I went to bed.

When I woke up Ben still wasn't there and he didn't come home until 8:00 a.m.
He stumbled in the doorway.
"I thought that you were coming home at 9:00." I said not looking up from my book.
"Well, I didn't Bella." He slurred obviously wasted.
"Ben go lie down." Hopefully he would sleep it off.
"No Bella don't tell me what to do!" He was screaming so lound that I covered my ears.
"Bella!" He spat at me.
"What?" I yelled back a him.
"Don't you use that tone with me! I am your fiance and you will treat me with respect." He lifted me up off the couch and threw me across the room.
"Ben!" he came closer to me smiling sickly.
"Come here." He grabbed my cheeks. I tried to get out of his grasp but he wouldn't let me.
"Ben, please don't." I whispered.
"Don't what?" he let go of my cheeks only to slap me.
This went on until Ben got a headache and went to bed which was about an hour later.
I was bruised and and scarred.
I decided to go home that night only to have it happen again to me the next morning when he didn't belive that I was at home. This was going to hurt...hurt badly. And I couldn't get out of it.

That was when I lost all hope in Ben. But he hadn't done this in a while so I went to look for him.
I was in pain but I knew that if I didn't go and look for him it would only hurt worse later. I saw him talking to some of his friends at the end of the ship. I didn't recognize them but what else was new. Thankfully none of them were drunk.
"Bella darling." he introduced me like he always did... in the same hideous way.
"Hello." her put his arm around my waist.
"Bella this is Sam and Jacob, they'll be helping us with wedding details." Ugh. The wedding. I tried my hardest not to cringe at the thought.
"Hello." Sam said as he shook my hand politely. He was probably one of the only civil firstclass men on this ship.
I was taken completley off gaurd when Jacob introduced himself to me.
He grabbed my hand and I thought he was going to shake it as well but instead he brought it up to his lips and kissed it. "Hello beautiful." he smiled the same sick smile Ben always did. I thought for sure that Ben would have killed him right then but when I turned to face him he was staring in the other direction.
I tried to see what was so incredible to him but Sam cleared his throat to draw his attention back to what was happenng in the universe.
Jacob had let go of my hand and was standing as if nothing had been done.
I had to get away from these people. Not Sam, but Jacob and Ben.
"Ben I'm going to go speak to Alice I'll meet you for lunch."
"Alright then." he kissed me and I left for Alice's stateroom.
I had only known her for a short while but I felt like I could tell her anything. As if I could let the tears finally spill over and stop hiding it all behind a smile. I began to run as I did the night before.
And then I ran into him again...literally.
"Bella, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." I said holding back tears. But then again, if I could trust Alice...why couldn't I trust Edward?
The tears began to spill over and Edward pulled me into a hug. I couldn't let him see me like this. I knew for sure that I was a mess.
I struggled out of his grasp and wiped a few tears away.
" I have to go." I took one more look at his perfect face and ran off. Again.
I was at least have way to Alice's stateroom when I was stopped. Again.
By Edward.
Edward P.O.V.
What had I done?
