I still had my little angel in my arms, he was dreaming about colorful, beautiful things. His lips were pouting and he had such a cute, adorable face. The only thing I was disappointed not to see was his beautiful green sparkling eyes, my eyes that I had once. I kept rocking us side to side looking into his closed eyes still reading his mind, I was so peaceful right now, nothing could distract me or take me away from my baby angel. Then I heard a car pull up, well there was one thing. At that point I knew it was Austin, I knew that I had to put Ej down, and I was gonna go mad as soon as I did it. Carlisle and Esme were sitting on the couch with my brothers and sisters in the living room. I looked at Carlisle, he smiled,nodded, and opened his arms wide. I looked at Ej one last time, kissed him on his pink cheek and gave him to Carlisle, gently so we didn't wake him up. Esme snuggled closer to Carlisle and they looked at Ej with eyes of adoration, they played with him, and hummed him a song to their baby grandson. I immediately went from peaceful to frustrated. I made my way to the garage and approached my son.

I parked my car and got the keys out of the ignition, I looked at the ceiling of the car and I knew I was in for it, for sure this time. Ej was already here, but I didn't see him waiting for me like he usually did when he knew I was going to be punished. Then dad opened the car door and leaned in, putting his forehead to mine and looked at me directly in the eyes. I closed my eyes, his hands were gripping the top of the car, and his breath was becoming faster. I read his mind and he said,"I don't want to hear a word from you until I ask you a question, I know you are thinking where Ej is, he is inside now sleeping, he too was late and didn't answer my phone calls like you, but YOU, YOU didn't come back until 7 hours later!, you broke curfew and didn't pick up the phone!," I was so ashamed, silent tears started going down my cheeks. He leaned away and held my chin up to look at me, he wanted me to make him see, that he was furious! He got me over his shoulder in a second and closed the car door, next thing I knew it we were in his bedroom. He put me down and put pressure on my back indicating me to lean over the desk. I looked at the window to the left to prepare for what was about to happen. He leaned over me and put his arms around me, something I wasn't expecting. He said,"Do you have ANY IDEA HOW YOUR MOTHER AND I WERE WORRIED ABOUT YOU!", I said,"I am so sorry daddy, I just met this girl, and she was so fun to hang out with, time flew by when I was with her, we went to get some ice cream then we went to the park." He said,"Thank you for being honest, now WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER MY PHONE CALLS!" I started shivering, I could take this easy, because I always tell him the truth, except when he screams at me, because it is the most scariest thing he could do. I said," I just didn't n...notice them dad". He said,"Oh so you are going to lie like your brother? because he told me the same thing and it went worse for him once he lied to me, I DON'T WANT ANY MORE LIES! I raised you and Ej better than this!", I lost it, and started crying, but it wasn't only because I was ashamed and that my dad was getting more angry by the minute, but also because my little brother got hit and I wasn't there to hold him or protect him, I feel like it is my fault, because I should have taken him home when I saw him like we always did, or at least have asked him were he was going... Dad said,"Don't worry I was holding him the whole time after I punished him," I said,"Thanks dad," Then he got away from me and got his belt out. I heard the belt come,then I felt the pain in my lower back. I jumped up and started whimpering, 15 more swats with the belt! ugh this hurt so bad! I cried harder now and whimpered more. He stopped after 5 more and pulled me to his chest. He said,"I won't ask permission, because no matter how much you grow, you will always be my baby," Then he picked me up and started rocking us side to side. I put my head to his chest. Then he said,"You know, you and your brother do so many things alike." I said,"Well he is my little brother," I winced. my lower back started stiniging more. Dad kissed me on the cheek and placed his forehead to mine and said,"I love you, you know that right? Even though it hurts me to whatch you in pain, I feel awful, but if this keeps you from getting out of trouble, than be it, you are one of the reasons why I live, I won't and I repeat WONT, let anything happen to you,Ej, or your mother, the three of you are the most important things in my life, and if this is going to keep you from doing anything stupid that can cause me to loose you, then I will do it", I tried to smile but tears came out. I put my head at the base of his neck and said,"Daddy I love you too, and I won't let you down every again," He kissed my forehead, and I went to sleep in his arms.

I went downstairs with the rest. Ej was still sleeping but now he was in Esme's arms. I sat on the couch next to Bella with Austin still in my arms. The kids were playing video games in front of the plasma. Except Vanessa she was at her cheer practice, soon Troy left for his football practice, Ally went to to Esme and said,"Grandma can I hold Ej?" She smiled, Esme smiled back and said,"Of course sweet heart, no one loves holding Ej more than you do," then Ally took Ej in her arms expertly like if her arms were made especially for him, apart from Bella's arms. This time, Ej opened his green eyes and his lips turned into a little "o", he was so cute when he yawned. He started rubbing his eyes with his hands, then rested them on Ally's shoulder. He realized who was holing him and yelled,"Ally!", then he smiled. The whole family started laughing as they saw Ally and Ej. Ally said,"Hey there little Buddie," they smiled widely at each other. Then Christian joined them and shook Ej's hair. He said,"Hey there Lil bro", Ej smiled and said,"Hi Christian", Christian said,"You want to play video games bro", Ej was just about to answer when Ally interrupted saying,"No, he is going to play the piano with me, right Ej?" They both stared at Ej with wide eyes. Ej said,"I...I...Uh...I," then Austin got up,and went with them he was at their side in seconds, he snatched Ej out of Ally's arms and said,"Hey he is mine!you hear me mine!" We all started bursting out in laughs, then they all went to play video games.

I heard the kids bound down the stairs. They all rushed to the kitchen, although I never saw Ej run down the stairs. Then I heard a door open and close, ah there he was. He rushed down with his little backpack, he was so cute. The difference was, he didn't run to the kitchen, he ran into Edward's arms. Edward has his arms opened before Ej jumped into them. They looked at each other, then Ej said,"Good Morning daddy," in his sweet voice. Edward said,"Good Morning my angel," I looked at my son and my grandson. Edward and my other kids couldn't have done a better job in raising their kids, just like I taught them. I got my bag and said good bye to my loving family. Then I kissed Esme softly on the lips. I got in my Mercedes and was on my way to the hospital. I always loved to take care of humans, and save lives, it made me feel better about myself. After taking care of many patients through out the whole day, at about 10.00am, I didn't expect what was about to happen. My doctor assistant came running up to me and said,", I have to inform you about something very important." I asked,"What is it?" he responded,"It's about your grandson," I answered,"What, what happened, tell me!" he said,"It's Ej Cullen, sir, he got beaten up, it seems its the case of bullying, he is in the emergency room, and it appears that he is doing very bad!" I dropped my clip board and started running to the emergency room. I instantly saw Ej and gasped. His eye had an ugly purple bruise, his cheek was bruised red. It appeared that someone had kicked him on the head and ribs, making him go into a coma. This was awful!

I parked my dad's car at the parking lot of the school, then looked at my little brother on the seat next to me. He was looking out the window, I guess looking for her. I said ,"Looking for someone Buddie?" He turned to me and said,"Yeah, Vanessa," he smiled. Well that made two of us, I was looking for Vanessa's sister, Selena. I grabbed our backpacks from the backseat and said,"Alright, let's go", we got out of the car and closed the doors. I gave him his backpack and made our way to the entrance. I saw Selena a couple of feet in front of us, so I said to Ej,"Hey bro, I'm going to go with Selena, I'll catch up to you later, alright?" he nodded, and smiled at me, I kissed his head and started running to Selena's side.

I was walking alone to my first period class. Then I spotted Vanessa and went up to her. I said,"Hey Van!" she looked at me and her eyes widened and sparkled,"Hi Ej!", we smiled at each other. Then we started talking. I walked her to her class then went to mine. First period dragged on, and then finally the bell rang. I went outside of my class, Vanessa was waiting for me. We were walking to second period class, when I made eye contacts with my bullies, Vanessa and I were the youngest in the whole school, since we were really smart we skipped 2 grades, so we had to go into high school. That was the problem though, since we were the youngest , we became the targets. I hate being bullied! just because I'm small and smart doesn't give them the right to bully me! Vanessa and I started walking faster, but they got in front of us. One of them said,"Well,well look who we have here, the stupid midget has a girlfriend now! what a miracle!" Then another one go in front of me and said,"I don't want you to touch her ever again! she is mine not yours!" I looked at Vanessa and she looked at me and them with a scared expression. They they all got me trapped in a corner next to the lockers, and another one grabbed Vanessa and took her away. I yelled,"No!Van!" All I heard was Vanessa say from a distance,"Ej!" but before I could say anything else I started being pushed around in a circle. I was 4'5 but they were 5'3 like my brother, too tall for me to cause any damage to them, worse than that, they were football players. Then I noticed everyone was gone and I was facing them. One of them said,"No one can hear you now! cry all you want you stupid nerd!", then I felt a sharp pain on my jaw and cheek. I screamed out in pain, but no one would hear me. As if that wasn't enough, they punched me on my right eye, it started bleeding and I immediately went blind. I screeched in pain but that just made them enjoy my screams much more. They got the advantage that I couldn't see and slammed me into the lockers. My jaw and eye was uncontrollably bleeding and I couldn't take the pain anymore. I fell to the ground and covered my head, but that didn't stop them. They kicked my head and my ribs, suddenly the pain in my head became unbearable. I screamed one last time, all though I knew it wouldn't do any good. Then my head felt as if it was going to explode! I saw black after that last hard kick...

I got out of second period and met up with Selena. We were walking around the school, because we had 10 minutes of break time. We were planning about where we would go after school, we wanted to go to the movies. We were talking excitedly, when we saw Vanessa running toward us with an alarmed expression. She ran into Selena's arms and started crying. Then she said,"Selena help me! please!" Selena said,"Vanessa what is going on! are you hurt!" Vanessa answered,"No No it's Ej!" I cut in and said,"What! what happened to him Vanessa? is he hurt or what?" she started crying even more now and Selena put her hands in between her face and said,"Sis we need you to tell us what happened to Ej and where he is so we can go help him", Vanessa said,"When we were coming out of first period Ej and I were walking by the lockers, and some guys came toward us and started bullying Ej! then one of the guys grabbed me and threw me out of the hall, so I started panicking I didn't know what to do! but I'm so so scared! I heard screaming and I think they hurt him real bad!" after I heard Vanessa say that I ran to the lockers were Vanessa said they where. I saw an ambulance outside of the hall and they were taking someone in. I ran up to the paramedics and I asked where Ej was. They told me they loaded him in and I asked if i could ride in with them, that he was my brother. When I got inside of the ambulance from the back, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My little brother was all bruised and hurt, he ...didn't have his eyes open. I went up to him and hugged him, lifting him a little bit off the bed. I started crying and in between tears I said,"Bro... wake up.. pl..please.. I need you.. I am..so...so...sorry for not being...th..there with you..but I swear...when I see those little...bastards..I will .. get re..revenge... I love you baby brother...please...wak...wake up.." I started crying even harder, we were on our way to the hospital now. I just looked at him and prayed that he would be alright. I called my dad and in the first ring he answered. "Austin, son, is everything alright?" I could hardly speak but it came out in a whisper,"Da.. Daddy..?..." he answered, "Son what is wrong! are you hurt! tell me where you are!", I said,"Dadd...daddy.. its Ej.. he", I heard the car doors shut and the car accelerated the only thing he said was,"I'm on my way".
