I looked at the letter in my hands.
"I am delighted to inform you, that you have been offered a place at Dartmouth University for the 2011 school year…."
Jacob was going to be so mad. I had to soften him up before I told him. Maybe then he wouldn't be as mad. I could invite him over for dinner and then cook him a nice meal. I know he would love that. Then maybe tell him in front of Charlie. Charlie wouldn't let him hit me any where it would show so I wouldn't get slapped.
I sat the college acceptance letter on the table in the living room and went to the kitchen to cook dinner. I made smothered steaks with a side of mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. For dissert I made my mom's recipe for chocolate cream pie. I made all of his favorites.
I then called Jacob.
"Hello?" his gruff voice answered.
"Jacob? It's me. Would you like to come over for dinner tonight?"
"Yeah, I'll be over. I need to talk to Charlie about something. When I get there you go up to your room and I'll come up shortly."
"Yes Jacob."
He hung up and I got a plate down and fixed me a small plate. So now I couldn't tell him in front of Charlie.
I ate hurriedly. Jacob says I am to fat. I am 5' 6 and weigh 110. When Jacob is around he rarely lets me eat… and he is always around. After I ate I made Jacob and Charlie's plate and put a cover on it so it wouldn't get cold.
I went up to my room and made sure nothing was messed up. Jacob hates mess. I lay on my bed thinking of how I got here. I don't have any more friends. Jacob made sure of that. I am afraid of my father and my boyfriend. And I am just miserable. I all started about a year ago.
I used to live in Arizona with my mom. Then she met Phil. Phil was nice. After mom and Phil got married, I moved to the small, miserable town of Forks Washington. I felt like they needed some time to themselves to be newly weds without mom worrying about me being home alone.
When I first got to forks, and saw Charlie, whom I hadn't seen since mom left him when I was 4, I was worried. Charlie looked older than his 36 year old self. After a few days of forks I learned that Charlie was a drunk. He used to be the Chief of Police of Forks. But when my mom left he turned to alcohol. He was never the same.
When I first re-met him, I told him hello. He just looked at me, shook his head and mumbled that I looked just like my mom.
After a few weeks, I had a routine. At school I would spend the day with Angela, my ex-best friend. I met her my first day of school and she was the only one that seemed genuely nice. We hit it off from the start.
After school I would go home and cook dinner for Charlie and I and put Charlie's in the microwave for him to warm up later. I would watch T.V for a bit then go up to my room to read or talk to Angela over the phone. Charlie and I rarely ever crossed paths.
Then on day, while I was still watching T.V, Charlie came home early, probably getting kicked out of the bar. When he came in, he just stared at me for a minute.
"Hi Renee." He said. Then he looked confused. "Why did you leave me Renee?"
I figured he was so drunk he didn't know who I was so I started to slowly tell him I was Bella. Before I could get a word out, I felt his hand connect to my face and warm tears spring into my eyes.
"Why did you leave?" he yelled.
"It's me Dad!" I yelled back.
He grabbed me by my hair and roughly threw me to the floor. He climbed on top a me, straddling my thighs and pinning my arms down.
"You're going to regret leaving me Renee" he spit out, sneering Renee's name.
He ripped my shirt off me, ripping my bra in the process. I cried out. He put one of his hands over my mouth,holding my hands down with just one of his hands, and told me to shut-up.
He took his hand off my mouth then continued to take off my jeans and panties. I screamed out.
"Dad! It's me! I'm not Renee!"
He looked up at me, his eyes showing nothing but anger. Then hie eyes flashed with recognition. He looked down at my naked body and looked back up at me. His eyes were angry again.
"it's your fault she left me." he sneered.
He then raped me, repetedly. Taking my innocents away from me.
That was the day everything started. After that day Charlie has beat and raped me multiple time. When ever he beat me, he never leaves scars where other can see.
He started inviting his vile friends over. He let them rape me for money, then raped me himself. And for every new person that raped me, Charlie put a tally mark on my back. Right now I have 6. Charlie Swan, Harry Clearwater, Sam Uley, Paul Sandborn, Billy Black, and his son... Jacob Black.
Now you might be wondering how I ended up dating a boy that raped me. Believe me, it wasn't by choice. Jacob started to come over all the time. People in town started wondering why a kid was always over the town's drunk house. So Charlie and Jacob started the rumor that Jacob and I were dating. And to keep up pretenses, Charlie made me go out with Jacob to a public place a few times a month.
So I continued to get raped and beat. Charlie figured that since I was "dating" Jacob, he could beat me to. And that's been going on for about a year now.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
I heard my door squeak open and before I could look to see who it was, I felt a fist slam into my face.
"What the fuck is this?" I heard Jacob scream.
I looked up, trying to fight my tears to see Jacob standing there with blazing eyes, my acceptance letter in his hand. Behind him I saw Charlie, looking almost as angry as Jacob was.
