Bella's POV

DING-DONG

DING-DONG

I walked down the stairs to the front door, I already knew who it was before I opened the door. I pulled the front door open, and there stood the one and they only Denali's family. There was Carmen, Eleazar and their three daughters, Irina a evil little wench, Tanya a slutty, backstabbing biotch, and Kate a nice, sweet caring person. Kate and

I are actually friends but Tanya and Irina hate my guts. I never told Kate about the abuse I suffered through all these years with them, and I don't intend to.

"Ah, Bella dear, How are you?" Carmen asked, as she stepped inside and gave me a big hug. Then she pulled back to look me into my eyes.

"I have been...okay, thanks for asking Carmen." I said and she smiled, as she shrugged out of her jacket and handed it to me. Eleazar, Irina, and Tanya followed her lead

so now I had a arm full of jackets. Kate walked over to me and took her family's jackets, I started to protest but she just shushed me and put them away.

"So Bells, how have you been?" she said, plopping down on the couch. I sat down into the spot next to her and groaned. I gave her a false smile.

"Better than a bowl of cherries in the summertime, that's for sure." I said, Kate rolled her eyes and giggled. Just when Kate was about to "shoot" out more questions,

Tanya and Irina came in and sat on the opposite side of Kate.

"Oh Kate, guess who I am going to prom with," Tanya said, pulling her sierra colored lipstick and swiping it over her lips. I cocked my head to the side, and watched as

Kate rolled her eyes at her "enthused" sister. " Edward Cullen." she said clapping her hands, I nearly fell of the couch. Even though Alice rarely acknowledged Edward as her brother, I knew he was and it was kind of a shock to hear that he was taking the most sluttiest girl in school to prom. But then again he is the most popular boy in school.

"That is...amazing." Kate said choking back a sob, she jumped up from the couch and up the stairs to my room. Tanya didn't even notice that he sister was obviously upset, but she could care less. Irina on the other hand did and mumbled incoherent things under her breath, I figured she was rambling about Kate. I got up from the couch and flew up the stairs to my bedroom, only to find Kate on my bed crying her eyes out and blubbering, I walked over to her and put my hand on the ball of her back.

"Kate, are yo-," she put her hand in the air, cutting me off. Kate sat up straight and looked at me.

"I am in love with Edward." she whispered, I didn't really know what to say, but I mean who isn't in love with Edward Cullen. Besides Rosalie and I of course but I mean seriously that guy is like the god Apollo.

"KATE, BELLA, LEAH, SETH, IRINA, AND TANYA, DINNER IS READY." I heard Sue call from downstairs, Kate got up desolately and headed downstairs. I sat on my bed for a little while longer, thinking about why my life turned out like this, I mean I am grateful for my friends and my Aunt. But why did I have to lose so much to get here. I slowly rose from my bed and walked to the door, turning around looking in my room once more before heading downstairs to the dinner table.

Edwards POV

I was sitting with Alice on the couch, T.V on but not really watching it. I was to focused on my sister, she was in deep thought and not really speaking to me. She was sitting Indian style on the couch, head laid back, eyes fixed on the ceiling, the only thing moving was her chest pumping out and in slowly. I wanted to ask her what she was thinking about, but I knew it was a bad idea, I made that mistake before trying to pry, she snapped at me and didn't talk to me for a week until I finally put my foot down and made her talk to me.

"What do you want to ask me Edward?" My eyes shot down to her face, she was looking directly at me. Damn she knows me to well.. I thought.

"Its nothing, just wondering what you were thinking about, since you haven't said a word since your favorite T.V show came on." I replied, she glanced at the T.V to see her favorite show, Who Wore It Better, playing back to back episodes, she rolled her eyes and smirked.

"Puh-lease that was my favorite show last week." she said with a giggle, now it was my turn to roll my eyes. Then all of a sudden she turned serious again, she rotated her head to face me.

"Edward can I ask you something,?" she asked, I just nodded my head and motioned for her to continue "If you had a "friend" and she was being abuse...sexually...and she didn't want him reported to the authorities, what would you do to help her without making her mad at you?" she asked, If it wasn't for my good hearing I wouldn't have caught a word she said because she spoke so fast.

"I don't know...but I would probably do something before it happened again." I said, I wondered if she knew someone who was getting abused.

"Do you know someone who is getting abused Alice?" I pressed, she quickly looked away.

"No, not at all...I have to go get ready for bed." she said and ran out of the living room and up the stairs, leaving me sitting on the couch like WTF just happened.
