Chapter 4
B Pov-
I can't believe that I'm going to actually tell them this. But I had to get this off my chest and they promised that they wouldn't tell anyone so here it goes. "When I was in the 10th grade, I met my husband, Jacob Black. We were in love and we got married right after we graduated from 12th.
"My dad didn't approve of the marrage, so I haven't spoken to him in about a year. Jacob and I were so happy together, until he came home drunk from a poker game about 11 months ago. He walked over to me and slapped me across the face twice and punched me once.
"He took me up stairs and he raped me. That was the night that I conceved her. I told him once he got home from work and he threw me into a wall. I rushed to the hospital and that is where I met Carlisle for the first time. He said that the baby was okay. I went back home and Jacob didn't touch me while I was pregnant. But he said that I was going to be the one to provide and take care of her.
"I had her on August 28 and I named her Mackynzie Renee Swan. Her middle name is my mother's name and the reason her last name was Swan was because I didn't want her to have the last name of someone who didn't even care about her and because I was going to get a divorce very soon. When I got home, he made up for all the time that he didn't beat me.
"H punched me in the stomach and threw me in the wall. It was then that I realized that Mackynzie and I had to get out of the house and we had to do it fast. I called my friend, Jessica, and asked her if we could spend the night, she said yes and we left. I was stopped at a stop light and some guy in a truck came around the corner and I passed out instantly.
"That's how I got here. Mackynzie was fine and I now have a paralyzed leg. Also, we have nowhere to live and no source of transportation", I said crying. Alice put an arm around me and Edward held my hand. I was surprised that he did that, but I liked it and I blushed a deep red.
"I am so sorry.", Alice said.
"Me too. I had no idea that happened to you.", Edward said.
"It's okay. That was the past and I hope I never see him again. Also, you are the first people that I've told.", I replied.
"Really.", they said in unison.
"Yeah, I had to get it of my chest and I felt that I could trust you. But remember, do not tell anyone."
"But Bella, you need to tell someone and report him for abuse. Then he will go to jail and there is no chance of you seeing him again.", Alice said.
"I know, but I just don't know how."
"We'll help you.", Edward said.
"You will… Thank you so much.", I said and gave them a hug. I held on to Edward but he pulled away to soon. I blushed again and he laughed. They said goodbye and left. I laid down and put Mackynzie beside me and I fell asleep and dreamed of Edward Cullen.
