CHARLIE

The weekend didn't go even close to what I had planned, thinking that getting Bella out of the house and visiting with Jacob, Embry and Billy would help cheer her up some, possible even nullify those damn dreams. Though the ride down to La Push was pure, empty silence and I wasn't know to be good talking to my daughter so I wasn't surprised at all. When we first got there Bella seemed a little more stable or rather happy, but after Billy, Jake and Embry said hello she just excused herself. Going alone to walk on the beach and I was not going to make her stay, that was surely not what she needed but it didn't help me feel any better. Not did the fact both boys seemed to not care either instead shrugging it off to go work on Jake's car. So Billy ended up doing his best to keep me relaxed and not worrying about her for a few hours at least.

But it was like all those other nights. I was deep asleep and the screaming started once more which meant I was up and spending time in the room with her. Holding her, rubbing her arms, her back just trying to soothe her the best I could at least till she fell back asleep. Thankfully once she was once more, falling deep into her sleep it lasted till morning. But the rest of the weekend was anything but pleasant. Although I stayed home from work, spoke to Renee as usual, about Bella I was no closer to figuring out what to do. Even Renee and Phil didn't know what else to do.

"I just don't know Renee. We went down to Billy's because he and I figured maybe his son's might help her come out of the shell. I mean sure none of them have seen each other for years and alot has changed, but we still wanted to try. And she said hello than just excused herself to go walk alone on First Beach. I couldn't exactly force her to stay she doesn't need to be forced to do anything."

Hearing the intake of air from Renee and rubbed my forehead some as I leaned on the table in the kitchen sipping the beer I had opened. Wondering what my ex-wife was going to say right now. A part of me going over in my mind what else I could possible do but than she spoke.

"Charlie don't keep hitting yourself in the head. When we talked about this we knew it was going to take some time, it wasn't going to happen over night. Give it time is what Phil and I think, although we have discussed another idea. I'm not fully confident it would be of any good, but possible an option to look at down the road."

"What option?" I asked brows furrowed as I listened on the phone curious to know what this was.

"Send her to talk with a counselor, a doctor...a shrink..." Renee's voice suddenly trailed off and she let out a heavy sigh over the phone hearing Charlie.

"Absolutely not. I am not sending her to a shrink we will work this out with sending her into a deeper depression. Sorry Renee that is out and I need to go so I will call you in another week. Bye." And with that I hung up shaking my head, taking a long swallow of the beer before closing my eyes a moment. Than after a few minutes I was picking up the phone once more and calling Billy yet again. Though this wasn't a long conversation just asking a question before they hung up and than making my way slowly up stairs. Taking in a few breaths and moving a hand to the back of my neck scratching while staring at her door.

"Bella?" I spoke knocking on the door, waiting for her to say come in, ever since she got there I wasn't trying to intrude on her privacy.

"Yes?" Her voice called through the door and slowly I walked into the room. Smiling over at her while she sat on the bed, but the puffiness under her eyes and the emptiness in her eyes hurt me to see. I felt my heart wanting to break right then but instead sucked in a breath and stood by the door. "I just wanted to tell you we're going back down to La Push, you can hang out this time with Jake and Embry while Billy and I well talk and we'll probably eat dinner there as well. So get ready. We're heading down in about five minutes."

"Charlie...I...never mind I'll be right down." Bella said softly and I knew she wanted to just hide away in her room, but was glad when she didn't argue with me. So I went down to leave her get ready leaning on the wall rubbing my forehead some. A little while later Bella and I were sitting in my squad car again the silence surrounded us in the car, though I did manage a few glances at her only to see a wore out, upset and almost pissed look in her eyes. Though she did manage to bring a book with her it seems and a part of me wanted to reach over, snatch the book and make her socialize with the Blacks. But I couldn't. Having her even possible more angry with me right now wasn't what I or her needed.

Within a few minutes I was pulling into the driveway of the Blacks and both Bella and I made our way inside of course Bella already sitting on the couch just nose buried in the book. "Bells put the book away and be sociable please." I said."Charlie this wasn't my idea it was yours so you visit, I want to read my book." Bella said as she looked to me for a moment, her eyes just it wasn't her. Running a hand through my hair while Billy and I talked about the game last weekend and who we thought was going to do well the whole time my eyes and mind were on her. At least till the boys came in letting my eyes look to both Paul and Jake trying to offer a smile though I have to admit at the moment I just wanted to break down. Bella was hurting obviously mentally and nothing I or her mother could think of seemed to work, but a part of me was excited to have her back here just wish the circumstances could of been better.

"Hey Charlie , how are you?" Jake asked Paul of course right behind him peeking around as if expecting something to happen but I just ignored it. "Hey kiddo, could be better but yeah know." My face was filled with worry lines as I looked back over at Bella who had yet to look up from her book to greet the boys.
" Hey Bella" Hearing Jacob my eyes stayed on her wondering if she would even acknowledge him.

BELLA

Don't get me wrong, Charlie was only worried about me and I knew it but being at the Blacks wasn't exactly fun when we drove down on the weekend. I just wanted some time alone, to think just to try and clear my head but it was obvious that Charlie was wanting to help me in other ways. It was just good that both Embry and Jake didn't come looking for me when I left like I had figure was going to happen. Though have to admit being back walking along that beach was nice and it was relaxing just having some time alone since as usual when we got back home I was once more plagued by the dreams.

FLASHBACK

Sitting in Jasper's room where we were suppose to be studying but he was just staring at me and it wasn't with love either, not that I was surprised or anything. Our relationship the last few months had been rocky and hard though more so on my end. Since well I wasn't one to say anything to many people. But still my mom and Phil would constantly ask me and I'd just blame my clumsy self for all the bruises. Wrapped up in my thoughts I didn't hear nor see Jasper get up till he jerked me up by my arm and threw me into the wall hard.

"Stupid bitch! Not listening to me again I see, let me guess your thinking about that stupid idiot friend of yours - Mitch who wouldn't know how to talk to a girl if his life depended upon it."

My arm stung as I hit the wall with such force I was certain it was broke, though his words I looked at him my heart was racing and I stood holding my arm as he came towards me. Pressing my back up on the wall I knew this wasn't going to be good, but I hadn't been ignoring him...well really. But soon my arm was the least of my worries, he backhanded me across the face not once but twice before his hand was wrapping around my neck and squeezed. Causing me to instantly reach for his wrist to try and pull his hand away trying to suck in air the pressure around my throat was so tight but his eyes narrowed.

"I'm going to remind you ISABELLA SWAN why you don't ignore me."

Suddenly he pulled me from the wall, my feet barely touching the floor in his room before he than slammed me back head first into the wall. His hand never once releasing my neck, but instead it was getting tighter and I was gasping more for air. Tears rolling down my cheeks. Wishing he would stop and be the Jasper I first met when we were in love, but that Jasper was gone instead this new Jasper was rude, aggressive, mean, cruel and enjoyed hurting me to the point that I was passing out. His other hand suddenly punched me in the gut, completely knocking the air from my lungs as I was than tossed on the ground. Gasping and clutching my chest, but his abuse only got worse as a size 10 shoe found it's way into my side as he kicked me as if I was some football. The sounds of a popping sound inside had me screaming which of course only managed to piss him off more.

"You stupid...pathetic...whine...bitch I can't believe I wasted all my time on you."

His voice harsh as he repeatedly kicked me in the ribs, my arms wrapped around me to try and protect myself. But the pain was so overwhelming I knew he broke some ribs. But than he was there kneeling beside me and I was curled up, in so much pain hoping he was done. I should of known better cause his fist suddenly was there connecting with my face, first in my left cheek, than my nose. After which I was in so much pain, the blood I didn't care just wanted it to end. Suddenly I don't even know when everything went black.

END FLASHBACK

The screaming was how I woke up, panting heavily, my eyes wide in fear, shaking so badly Charlie had to like he did every time, sit there holding me till I was able to fall back asleep. It just seemed to be the same horrible nightmare and it wasn't ever going to change at least that was how I saw it right now. Jasper might not being in Fork's with me, but that bastard was going to haunt my life forever.

Even at school didn't help. I think that was just me but being shy, not opening up to people does seem to make you invisible to everyone around you. Sitting in my classes like usual keeping to myself, taking notes and waiting for the bells to rang so I can just leave and go onto the next class and get this day over with. Even school seemed to be meaningless to me at the moment. Rolling my eyes as Embry Call got slapped up side the head as he did every day in our Drama class when Mrs Dimps, while I tried to pay attention to the project she was wanting us to work on. But than the bell rang and since I was right by the door well lets just say I was ready to leave, having Drama as my last class was making me sleepy. And just like was usual, damn Embry had to rush or try to rush and run right into me, with the same pathetic apology before bolting down the hallway.

Thankfully school was short the next day and it left me with the rest of the afternoon once Charlie picked me up to just have time alone. Homework was nothing since I was ahead of everything here. So I didn't have to worry so much about working to hard right now with any of the classes, that wasn't too bad left me time to do something I loved. Reading. But soon Charlie was knocking on my door and I just knew this wasn't going to be something I wanted right now. Glancing to the door as I moved a hand up through my long, brown hair debating a moment on whether to answer or now. Finally deciding that I couldn't just ignore him.

"Yes?" My voice called out softly and slowly he walked into the room. Smiling over at me while I sat on the bed, but the puffiness under my eyes and the emptiness it hurt him to see. Didn't take a rocket scientist to tell it was hurting him so much hearing or even seeing me this bad. I felt my heart wanting to break right then but instead sucked in a breath waiting to hear what he wanted. Though I have to admit when he finally did I was really not feeling any better in fact I was annoyed.

"I just wanted to tell you we're going back down to La Push, you can hang out this time with Jake and Embry while Billy and I well talk and we'll probably eat dinner there as well. So get ready. We're heading down in about five minutes."

Within a few minutes we were pulling into the driveway of the Blacks and made our way inside of course I headed to the couch nose buried in the book. "Bells put the book away and be sociable please." I hear Charlie say sighing some softly.

"Charlie this wasn't my idea it was yours so you visit, I want to read my book." Looking up at him for a moment, just wishing to go home now that we were here. Hearing the sounds of others coming inside and I can only guess it's Billy's boys which isn't who I want to see. And it's not cause I don't like them or anything just guys aren't on my list of people I trust or care to be around. Not that you could blame me with what I had been through, but Charlie was only trying to help. Hearing who I think is Jake talking to my dad, while my attention stays on the book hoping to become lost in it once more and for lack of a better word ignore them till it was time to eat or leave. Either one would be fine with me.

" Hey Bella" Hearing Jacob my eyes stayed on the book letting out a slight breath wishing they could just treat me like everyone else does. Invisible. But feeling the worried gaze of Charlie on me I finally look over at him. Noticing it's not Embry with him but don't really know or for that matter care who the guy is since he is acting like a dork anyhow. My chocolate brown eyes, taking in the form of Billy's son. His black hair, that dark russet skin and his dark brown eyes that look as if he is as annoyed with this as I am. Though seeing the grease smeared on his face I can't help but snicker biting on my bottom lip a moment.

"Um...hi Jacob. Sorry to pull you from your grease monkey party." A slight hint of sarcasm is in my voice, but it was funny and I wonder if he even realized he had greased smeared all over his face right now. Though the look of confusion on his face was rather worth it. "Huh?" Was all I heard from Jacob while he stared at me with furrowed brows as if I was talking nonsense right now.

"Dude...she just like...never mind though you do have some..." Paul looking at Jacob pointing to his face trying to tell his friend without annoying him more than he obviously already was. Jacob of course not getting what was funny and glared back over at Paul a moment before moving his hand along his temple feeling the grimy substance he lets out a breath, obviously realizing now what Bella and Paul mean.

Shaking my head some and seeing the confused look on Charlies face as well before he looks again at Jacob and realizes what I was talking about. Seeing as I can hear a faint chuckle coming from him. Shaking my head before I go to let my attention fall back to the book although the smile does stay on my face something I really haven't done around anyone for awhile.
