CHAPTER THREE

One by one you count the fights

Does it even matter

That she got you by surprise

Misery's your master

She's the blade - Sugarcult

I didn't make it far.

Jacob came running out of the house and opened my car door grabbing me by my hair and pulling me out. I screamed out in pain, terrified of what was going to happen. "Jacob! Let her go! What the fuck man!" the girl screamed as she came over to me trying to pry his hand away from my hair "Leah, get the hell away from here. Now" he hissed as he pulled harder, I whimpered and begged her with my eyes not to go. She didn't look at me as she ran to her car and left. Jacob dragged me all the way to the house, my head hitting the small steps we had. By now I was full out crying.

"you fucking bitch!" he yelled as he lifted me up and smacked me across my face, making me lose my balance. "you think you can just up and go whenever the hell you want?" another blow to the face I got. Never again am I going to act this way "answer me god dammit!" he yelled as he pushed me back with so much force my head hit the stove with a loud thud. Falling to the floor I held my head in my hands, screaming bloody murder because I was in so much fucking pain I couldn't handle it. Jacob didn't care though, he grabbed my hair and lifted me up screaming things I couldn't hear. My vision was blurry and I felt something hot running down the side of my head. one final blow to the face he threw me on the floor and groaned "Go get cleaned up. Carlisle and esme called and I told them we would go to dinner. Hurry the fuck up! And don't get blood on my fucking stuff" with that he walked away slamming the front door. I rushed up the stairs holding onto the railing and the wall for support. I locked the door of the bedroom and slid down it, crying into my knees. After a few minutes I washed the side of my head and noticed I had a huge bruise on my temple. No wonder I have a fucking headache

Since I didn't want to cover it all up with makeup I just let my hair down loose, only to see I had a bruise on my cheek. tears filled my eyes but I pushed them back, not wanting them to fall. I didn't care anymore about how I looked. He always made me feel ugly and not worthy so I did not have to impress anyone. Going down the stairs I kept my eyes down as Jacob opened the door and locked it behind us "ready baby?" he said sweetly as he tried to grab my hand. I moved away from him, not wanting him to touch me. he groaned but did nothing else. The car ride was quiet. I was uncomfortable. I didn't want him here. I needed a cigarette so badly. We exited the car and alice rushed over to us smiling and greeting us. Jacob went inside first looking for emmett while I told alice I needed a moment. She nodded looking at my face "what happened? Your face.." she whispered trying to touch it. I snapped "Don't fucking touch me" I said through clenched teeth. Taking in a deep breath I let it out slowly "I'll um be out in the forest. If Jacob asks I went to..uh" I thought for a moment before alice answered for me "the small store down the street got it." she looked a bit sad but more confused than anything. I smiled at her as I ran out into the forest until I couldn't see the house anymore.

Sitting down on the rock that was there I noticed a jacket but ignored it sitting down and grabbing a cigarette from my purse and lighting it up. "you know smoking is horribly bad for you" I screamed as edward jumped down from the trees and smiled at me. "do you happen to have another one" I nodded and gave him one. He sat next to me. we were both quiet until I felt his finger touch my temple. I flinched away from him. My heart racing "shh, I won't hurt you…Bella I know we don't really know each other but…who did this to you?" he whispered sadly looking at me. I looked away. With my trembling hands I lifted the cigarette to my lips. I glanced at edward and sighed "can you keep a secret? If I trust you with this you won't tell anyone will you? please" I begged. It was sad but I wanted someone to talk to, and I felt like I known him forever. Which is weird since I just met him today.

Love at first sight?

Riiight no one will love you Bella, you're broken beyond repair

"your secret is safe with me. I promise you my life on that" I looked at him. He was dead serious. Taking in a deep breath I looked down at the ground "my fiancé did it to me…before we came here" I whispered almost ashamed of myself. I felt Edward wrap his arms around me and I broke down crying. My sobs were loud and my entire body was shaking "shh, Bella please…don't cry. Fuck, this is fucked up" he said as he let me cry, rubbing my back "does alice know?" shaking my head he groaned and sighed "how long?" I looked up wiping my face cringing when I passed the bruise on my face "four years..or so. He told me once that if I ever left him he would find me and kill me. I don't think I'm ever going to be free. I won't last long.." another fit of tears and sobs left me. it was scary. Being beaten every night for stupid things. Either it was for money, beer, drugs, or sex he would beat me. no matter how hard I fought back I wasn't strong enough. Once I was calmed down I smiled at edward and thanked him for letting me cry "I promise Bella, I won't tell a soul. I'm here for you if you need me or anything okay?" I nodded and gave him a hug. I sighed and decided I had to go back. "uh I have to go back sorry" he nodded and waved "I'll be there soon. I just wanna finish what I was doing." Confused he pointed up and I looked to see a bird house being placed I smiled and shook my head.

As I walked away I looked back he was staring at me. I wasn't sure why I did it. maybe it was because I was emotionally unstable or because maybe, I liked him a little or maybe because he saw me cry and didn't judge. Whatever the case was, I was glad I did it. I ran to him and stood in front of him biting my lip and narrowing my eyes a bit "did you forget something Bella?" he asked as he looked around I took a step close as he looked up at me. "I just um I.." groaning I grabbed his face and pressed my lips to his. He stood there frozen. His lips didn't move for a while. Not long after his lips move in sync with mines I felt his tongue licking my bottom lip, asking for permission. Once our tongues met, I moaned loudly. He tasted like heaven. Minty, and something else I couldn't put my finger on it. I snaked my arms around his neck pulling his hair making him groan into my mouth. His hands moved down my back and cupped my ass pushing me flush against him.

Well hello there Mr. Happy…

Needing to breathe I pulled away as he kissed down my chin to my neck. sucking on my pulse a little. "mm edward..we ugh need to stop" he groaned into my neck and looked up at me, giving me one last amazing kiss. "uh you go ahead and uh I'll see you at the house." I nodded and ran towards the house. Once I was away from edward and almost near the house I leaned against a tree and pulled out some lipstick and perfume. Once I thought I looked presentable I smiled as I walked into the house. I walked into the kitchen to find rose alice and esme laughing and talking happily. "look who's here come! Join us!" I sat with them and for once in my life, I felt..normal.

That was short lived.

We were all sitting at the table. Edward in front of me alice next to him. Rose next to emmett. Carlisle and esme were together as jasper sat the opposite side of alice. "Bella" Carlisle said "what happened to you hun? You're all bruised up" both edward and I tensed up. I fork actually fell out of my hand and hit the plate. "oh sorry. I must have butterfingers" I mumbled Jacob decided to answer for me. taking a sip of water I choked hearing what he had to say "she fell" he shrugged his shoulder as I struggled to calm down my coughing. He was patting my back, a bit harder than he should. Edward noticed me cringe and he growled "Jacob, you're hurting her" Jacob looked at me and leaned his head down towards me so no one could see him glare at me "am I hurting you hunny?" I shook my head quickly no and he smiled smugly at edward. Jacob excused himself to answer the phone. I glared at edward and he did the same to me. please…just let it go for now I mouth to him. He closed his eyes tightly and stood up abruptly from the table "May I be excused?" he asked through clenched teeth. He moved so fast the chair he was sitting on fell to the floor and the front door slammed shut. Not long after the door was slammed we heard a car start and tires screeching as it left the driveway.

I sighed and smiled at alice and rose. They both gave me looks and I mouth to them I would tell them later. Jacob returned and smiled and sat down talking happily with everyone. I kept staring at Edwards chair.

Why does it feel like he took my heart with him?

Oh god..I'm so screwed…
