Oh dear... I'm actually grounded and I'm hiding in the closet with my laptop. Lol.

I try to call again
I get your mailbox
Like a letter left unread
Apologies are often open ended
But this one's better left unsaid

One in the same
Never to change
Our love was beautiful
We got it all
Destined to fall
Our love was tragical

Wanted to call
No need to fight
You know I wouldn't lie
But tonight, we'll leave it on the line

On the Line, by Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers

Chapter 17

My breathe caught in my throat as Edward looked at me expectantly. "Well?"

"Y-yes, it's mine" I choked down ahelpless sob. Edward looked shock for an instant, but his expression turned calm.

"Why do you have it?" He questioned, I was dreading this one. "I-I... er.." I stuttered, trying to find a good response. "I can't tell you" I sighed.

"What are you doing? Class just started!" Bella cried, appearing with Alice, Jasper, Emmet and Rosalie. Bella's eyes landed on me and she rolled her eyes.

"Come on Gemma, before she starts picking on you" Bella ordered, tugging on Gemma's arm gently.

"It's okay Mom, I can handle this" Gemma freed herself from Bella's grasp, and made her way over. She stood in front of me, glaring.

"Listen here! Just because your real mother and father didn't give a damn about you, doens't mean you have to be vicious towards me! Just because I HAVE caring parents. That's very pathetic of you!" She scolded.

Her words stung like venom, "You bitch" I mumbled. Whoa! She finally said it!Emmet thought excitedly.

"Good job honey!" Bella cheered, and that hurt the pieces of my broken heart.

"Gemma, you might want to run" Alice stated, looking dazed. Gemma turned to her Alice, "It's not like she's going to hurt me!" Gemma snorted. She turned on her heel and when her eyes met mine she fell like a rock. Unconcious.

"YOU BRAT!" Bella screamed, bolting towards me. I gulped as her elbow jabbed into my stomach and I was flung into a car which was unusually the only one there.

I hit the car door and I felt something long and soft rush down on the side of my arm and it landed on my lap. It was too painful to pick it up and move it to eye's length.

I forced my eyes open, and felt the contacts fall out of my eyes. Oh well, I'll just hide them.

My eyes landed on my lap and they widened in horror. It was the blonde wig. I patted my head ignoring the stabbing pain and could feel my own hair. Instead of looking like Charlotte, I look like Me.

My head snapped up and Edward stared at me in shock. Bella on the other hand didn't look at me, she just kept trying to wake Gemma up.

"Melody?" Edward said softly and he bolted towards me. "A-are you okay?"

My breathing got harder and harder and I blacked out.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

My eyes snapped open and I found myself in a hospital room. I shot up, but plopped back down, my head, arms, and leg throbbed with pain. I got glimpses of what happened earlier and gasped.

Edward knows I am Melody. I spotted a mirror on the bed side table and picked it up slowly. I examined myself in the mirror and saw bandages around my head.

"You look lovely" Someone said softly. I whipped my head to my left and saw Edward sitting comfortably in a cushioned chair."As usual" He smiled, leaning towards me.

Istayed silent, hoping with all my might he would go away.

"Now, tell me darling, why did you hide from me?" He questioned, his hand brushing against my cheek.

"Don't call medarling,you probably call Gemma that" I whispered, my voice hoarse. Edward smiled at me, "Yes, but ididn't say it with a lot of love" He sighed.

"Why, she is your daughter"I hissed.

"Yes, but not really" Edward shrugged. I rolled my eyes, "Why did you let her stay and not me?" I demanded.

"You want the whole story?" He asked gently, wipinga tear from my the corner of my eye. I didn't even knowI was crying.

I nodded my head and Edward kissed my forehead. "You deserve to know" He whispered.
