We all hung out in me and roses room. my mind kept wondering on that tree. How surreal it looks…like…like it was a sign. I shook the thought off and went back to listening to the conversation that everyone was having.
"im kind of scared. What if dad becomes…you know…abusive…" I whisper in roses ear. She looked at me and smiled a weak smile.
"me and jazz would protect you little sis." She says.
"im only younger by 2 months." I say. Me and rose were suppose to be twins but I came late. She laughed a small quiet laugh. But it was loud enough for Emmett, Edward, and jasper to look at us.
"what? We have silent conversations all the time. Since we basically have the same probl…" I slapped a hand over my mouth. Jasper looked at me curiously.
"problems? What problems?" he asks.
"um…rose should we tell them?" I ask silently begging her in my head to say no.
"um…i.. don't know. I don't really know how everyone will react…well jasper will act like the big brother. But those two right over there will have a different reaction. I just know it." She whispers in my ear. I nod.
I use my index finger and signal jasper to come over here. He bands down to my height and in his ear I whisper in a shaky voice
"jazzy i-Im a-anorexic. A-and rose was bulimic but she stopped to try to help me." He looks at me sadly.
"was it because of him?" he asks loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.
I nod.
"what happened?" Edward asks. He looked slightly concerned. I didn't know why.
"who is this him guy?" Emmett asks.
Jasper just paces around the room and puts a hand on his head.
"why didn't you tell me earlier. Was that why rose was crying in the loft because you drank a soda?" he asks. I nod.
"okay what the fuck is going on?" Edward asks.
"Bella? Can I tell them?" jasper asks.
"yeah. Tell them when I walk out though." I say. I then stand up and leave. I then walk all the way to the kitchen. Then I hear the shattering of a beer bottle. I go and see Charlie drunk and he started walking up to me.
"what are you doing here?!" he slurred angrily.
"i-i…" he then slapped me. WTF??
"DON'T EVER BACK TALK ME!" he roars.
"BUT I DIDN'T!" I cry out.
He slaps me again. Then people come down stairs. I compose myself as if nothing had happened. And so does Charlie.
"hi kids." He slurred.
They looked at him and then at me.
I put my hood up and go to the stairs to go to my room. my face stung. Once we all got to my room, I ran into my bathroom and locked the door.
I looked at my face. A fat bruise was forming on my cheek. Then there was a knock on the door.
"Bella. Let me in sweetie." Rose says. I unlock the door. But I don't face her. I felt ashamed.
"bella? What's wrong?" she asks. I turn to look at her. She gasps.
"he…he hit you?" she whispers.
Then there was another knock on the door.
"who is it?" rose calls.
"Edward." He says. For some unknown reason my heart fluttered.
She looks at me and sees my small smile.
She then smiles hugely. Did she know something? She then goes out and lets Edward in.
"bella?" he says.
I look up at him. His face turns into disgust mixed with anger. Oh god. He was disgusted with me. I started hyperventilating. He kneels down and takes a closer look at my face. I turn my head before he could look any closer.
"don't be stubborn." He says.
"who cares. You cant tell me what to do. Im just that anorexic girl who fell down the stairs and got my dad angry that's all. No one hit me. But I know your thinking other wise." I say.
He just stands up and leaves.
"I told you." I whisper manly to myself.
Then jasper walks in.
"bells? Did Charlie hit you/" he asks.
"no I fell on my way down the stairs and knocked over his beer bottle. He then got angry and we started fighting. No one hit me." I say.
"that's not what rose and Edward says. And Emmett's about to explode in here any second to give you a big hug. He thinks you need it. His cousin was anorexic and died from it. So he almost started crying when we told him. Edward just looked out the window." He says. I smile. He then runs his finger tips over the bruise.
"did he really hit you?" he whispers. I nod. He grabs me up in a hug.
"rose!" he yells.
Rose thinking its an emergency rushes in here.
"is she ok?!" she asks.
"yeah. But can you put some makeup or something over her bruise. We don't want Emmett killing Charlie." Jasper says seriously. Rose nods and gets her makeup. She then covers my bruise and I look in the mirror. It looked normal.
"thanks rose." I say and she hugs me. She then walks out and Emmett bursts through the door.
"BELLA! Are you ok? Are you dying? Why is Edward so mad? He said someone hit you? WHO HIT YOU? I don't see any bruises. " he says. I laugh.
"Emmett. Im fine. Im just anorexic. I don't know why Edward is mad. Nobody hit me. And the only bruises I have are on my wrists." I say. He smiles a sad smile and lifts me up bridal style and carries me out to the room.
"she is ok people!" he announces. Every one just smiles and shakes their heads. Rose giggles.
I then go sit next to Edward who was on my bed looking out the window.
"I know you didn't fall Bella." Edward whispers sadly.
"I know I didn't either." I whisper. He looks at me.
"who is this him guy?" he asks.
"my ex. He used to beat me. And one day he called me fat and had his friends call me fat. I was teased through school that year. Rose had to punch a lot of noses. Then one day he beat me so bad I passed out. And he had never beat me this bad before. I was just slaps on the face. Jasper walked in. they were coming to visit us and he beat him to a bloody pulp. Japser rose and I have always been really close. So he was kind of shocked when I didn't tell him that I am anorexic." I say.
"what size were you before? He asks.
"over weight." I say.
"oh." He says. I just nod.
"what are you two talking about?" jasper asks.
"we weren't speaking at all." I say.
"I was going to say. Edward doesn't speak to anyone. He is kind of a loner." Emmett says sounding bord. Edward shrugs his shoulders.
"im going to go for a walk." I say.
"can I come with you?" jasper asks.
"I would give her some time to think jazz." Emmett says. Whoa. That was actually smart. We all stare at him.
"thank you em" I say.
He smiles.
"no problem." He says. I then walk out. It was pouring out. This Is by far the weirdest day ever. I cant say the worst because I got to meet Emmett and Edward. But finding out that Charlie is abusive scares me. I put in my ear phones to my ipod and put on wake me up inside by evanescence. Then I just start running, my all black skinny jeans getting soaked as the rain hit against them. My hood came off my head as I ran, drenching my hair making it spiral into wet curls. Then I see shard of glass. Sharp. I grab it and put it in my pocket.
Rose would be pissed if she found out I was starting another habit. Cutting was an old habit of mine and I only got 2 cut on each wrist before she found out. She stopped em immediately. I ran back to the house and easily climbed the tree in the middle of me and Edwards's house. I sat on the top of the trunk that was like an actual seat. Then all the black branches formed out creating a form of security around me. I felt safe.
I got out the glass and put it on the tree and then climbed out. Soon I went into my house and sneaked by a drunk Charlie and up to my room. everyone watched me.
"what?" I ask.
"what were you doing in that tree?" rose asks.
"um… I just wanted to see if I can climb it." I say.
"that bull. Me and jazz know that you have been climbing trees since you were 13. that tree is nothing compared to others you have climbed." She says. I roll my eyes.
"okay, I was going to climb through my window and scare you guys but I decided not to because the branches were weak." I lied smoothly. Rose bought it. She just smiled and hugged me. Then Edward's phone rang.
"hello?" he answered quietly.
"ok." He then hung up.
"we cant spend the night. Mom wants us home." He says. Emmett looks sad and comes and hugs me and rose. Edward just says its nice to meet us and walks out. And once they were gone I looked into Edwards window and saw him looking back at me. He smiled a small smile then left.
OKAY! WHAT DID YOU THINK! Im going to try to write a chapter every day if that's possible KEEP READING! Ok and Edward has had a really bad past and has a hard shell that no one has EVER been able to get through… but will bella get to him? Will they fall in love? Why is the plank board going to be important?
