Chapter ?
BPOV
I could
hear tons of voices, I recognized Charlie's, fake care voice, a
Doctor kind of voice, and a girl's voice. I knew I had to be in the
hospital, and I tried to remember what had happened, but I didn't
remember anything after talking to Alice and Rosalie in the bathroom.
Then I fully realized where I was.
My eyes snapped open. Shit! I
was in a hospital! Great more people pretending they care. I would
get it tonight. That's just great, so very great. And I thought I
had gotten it bad last night I can't wait to find out how bad I get
it tonight. The Doctor and my father were still talking and the girl,
well I now realized it was girls, were Rosalie and Alice looking at
me with so much worry in their eyes. When they saw I was awake they
interrupted the Doctors and my father's fighting.
"Dad,
she is awake." Alice said softly to the doctor. He turned to me and
looked at me with pity.
"Alice, Rose, and
Charlie, now I have to speak with my patient alone, so if I were you
I would go," he said and then added, "If you don't I will call
security!" For my father was staring at him with hate. They all
left, even Alice and Rose, just because this person was their dad
they didn't want to get in trouble, but Charlie left only because
he didn't want to ruin his record.
When they were out of the
room the doctor closed the door. "Hello, Bella. I am Dr. Cullen.
You can call me Carlisle." He said.
"Um…
Carlisle what happened? Why am I here?" I asked I knew they might
know but I needed to figure out what happened, or else it would be
ten times worst.
"You don't remember?" I shook my head. He
then mumbled, "Probably the concussion from the beatings," then
he cleared his throat. "Bella you were at school and when everyone
came in the bilgy room they found you passed out and unresponsive to
everything so my son Edward called me and had me waiting for you to
get here in an ambulance."
"Oh." I said simply, and then
asked. "When can I get out of here? Charlie has no cooking traits
at all and I wouldn't want him to have to eat fast-food." I said
with a forced smile. Carlisle seemed to pick up on that.
"Bella, how long has he been abusing you?" he asked out of
nowhere. I didn't answer. I couldn't answer/ Not that.
"Oh
Dr. Cullen my dad does no such thing! He is the police chief for
goodness sake! I am just so clumsy that's all." I said in a fake
cheerful voice. He saw straight through that though.
"Bella
how long? I won't tell anyone. I can't if you don't want me to.
Just please tell me." I just shook my head saying 'I'm not
telling you anything'. "Bella, your body isn't holding out that
good. You have a concussion, a broken leg, 3 broken rib, 6 bruised
ribs, 2 ripped muscles in your back, which means you shouldn't be
off of your feet for more than minutes. Bella, he could kill you!"
he said. I smiled to myself in side. That was just what I wanted. I
was finally getting to understand that I could get off of this; I
will never be able to. All I wanted t do was die. And it would be
wonders if he did this for me.
"Bella, you want him to kill
you don't you. You want to die, you're tired of living." He
stated final getting what I wanted. "Is it that bad? How could it
be that bad? Your only 17, he couldn't have been doing this for
that long, your body doesn't show signs of long-term abuse." He
paused, "Bella how long?"
I shook my head no again and he
sighed and got up and started walking over to the door. "Bella
you can leave now if you want, I put
a piece of paper with mine and everyone in my family's number if
you ever need help or want to cry or talk, just call, on your bed.
Just call." He said then walked out.
Rosalie and Alice walked
straight in. "Bella, you can't hide the fact anymore. I am sorry
but we were the ones to put you into the gown and we noticed the hand
shaped bruises all over you body. Bella we all know you're being
abused. Just admit it. Please. We can help you." I shook my head,
at Alice then Rosalie stepped forward.
"Bella, I know what it
feels like. Before Carlisle and Esme adopted me I had been abused and
beaten in every way possible. I know you think it is your fault but
it isn't. It never is Bella, never. Remember it is always his
fault. You're not at fault Bella, there's no reason to believe
you are." She said then I think she was coming forward to hug me
but I flinched away, afraid that she would walk up to me pretending
to hug then beat me up more. I don't know how to trust, anyone.
She looked up at me with shocked, pitiful, and amazed eyes. "I'm
not going to hurt you Bella. Don't worry, we want to help. Don't
worry. I and Alice, Edward and Emmett, Carlisle, Esme and Jasper
won't hurt you we just want to help." She said then took another
step and I tried to back up in my bed but ended up almost falling of
the bed, and I knew I was going to get hurt anyway, so I just pulled
my good leg up to my chest and hugged it. She kept walking towards me
then she sat down on my bed. I just looked at her with wide fearful,
agony filled, tortured, sad, depressed eyes. "Bella I'm not going
to hurt you." she repeated then scooted over to me and grabbed me
every so tenderly, which no one had ever done before, into her arms.
I looked up at her and she looked back down, and then said to
me, "Bella, Carlisle said you needed to get some rest before you
could leave so Charlie went home and will be there until Carlisle
calls and tells him you're awake. Bella your safe right now, and if
you tell us what happened we can keep you safe with us." I didn't
want to talk so I shook my head. She sighed, "I know you're
probably not allowed to cry when he does it or any time he is ever
around, I wasn't, so how about you just let it all out. Bella I
swear you safe." I nodded and let all of my tears fall, ruining her
shirt with saltwater. I cried and she held me close. Maybe she really
did know what I was going through. I thought.
Maybe I would
really get a friend again.
Charlie was driving and he looks
absolutely livid. I knew today would not be a good day, at all. Here
was me with all of these casts not allowed to move, let alone do
everything Charlie wanted me to, so most likely I would get it pretty
bad to night then tomorrow have all of my pain medication taken away
and my crutches and sling, so I would then have to go to school in
the utmost pain. Once we had gotten in the car Charlie had proceeded
to rip up my excuse for school and forge one saying that I was able
to go to school and do PE and that kind of thing.
I was just
dreading getting home and we were already on our street. I knew it
was only a matter of time.
A/N: so pretty long chapter, next
one will be pretty Suspenseful so ya. And just to let everyone know

view, and the other is in Bella's. same in (insert chapter numbers
