The way it is

EPOV:

I was in the hallway as I heard Bella scream. I went right in my room and what I saw was so wrong that I couldn't control my anger that suffused throughout my body, it was horrible. The pain in her eyes, the blue and black bruises all over her ribs and belly. You could see some were old but most pretty fresh. The worse was on her ribs, it pained me to see her like that so I stormed out wanting to kill that prick. I didn't care what anyone thought. Bella's words were in my head as I sat in the car punching the steering wheel as I made that promise not to hurt him for her. I hated it. I sat there with my head in my hands pinching the bridge of my noise trying to calm down.

"Edward," Carlisle said while putting a hand on my arm made me jump a mile. I didn't hear him get in, I must have been lost in thought, I just looked at him and seen the pain in his eyes. he hated to see me like this I was disappointing him again. I hurt them a lot in the last few years.

"Edward, Bella needs you please don't do anything rash I know you love her and wanna kill him but please don't."

My dad pleaded with me. Wait, did he say that love was what I felt for Bella? I didn't know. I know I felt protective of her, I know I didn't want to see her hurt. Maybe my body reacted to her it longed to reach her, to protect her, to be close and the electric current that came with it. Was that love? Was this all love?

"Dad." was all I could get out before he pulled me to him hugging me.

"I'm so proud of you son don't you ever think I'm not, okay? I love you Edward." he said

I started to cry right there on him while he held on to me.

"I thought you were disappointed in me?"

"No Edward. Yes you have to learn to control your temper but you will I'm sure"

"Dad I have to go talk to Emmett. I have to set something right with him. He knows his parents are to blame for me being locked up. I am going to see if Bella wants to go home or stay with here." "Okay son just be careful."

With that we went back to my room to see Bella before I could say anything Bella jumped up with a tear stained face and said "sorry."

I didn't understand what she was apologizing for then it hit me. She screamed, I got angry and stormed out. She thought she did something wrong and made me angry. "oh Bella you did nothing wrong, I wasn't angry at you. I was angry at him. He hurt you bad that's all."

before I could say anything else Dad spoke up, he had to ask her I suppose.

"Bella I'm sorry but I have to ask, did Jake force you to have sex with him?"

Oh god I was going to be sick. That basted better not have I swear to god he better not have.

"no. He tried last night but I don't know how I stopped him, maybe because he was a bit drunk but, no"

Thank fuck! Dad nodded his head and left.

Before I could say anything Bella wrapped her hands around my waist. I put my hands around her back leaning down to kiss her with so much passion I had for her it was at that moment I realized with the love I put in it and she did too that dad was right. I do love her. I pulled away needing air. I didn't want to and she didn't either but we both needed the air and to get our thoughts straight. "Bella I have to go talk to Emmett, you can stay here tonight again if you want and come with me to get cloths or just for a lift home."

"I'm coming I need to talk to mum and dad and Emmett, I cant put it off much longer but I do want to come back here then go home tomorrow but I will ring first. I don't know if he will be there I don't want to see him."

I gave her my phone not knowing how bad they were playing him or what they were going to do but I know he will feel so much pain, they will torture him and some of me even wants to help.

"It's all clear" she said "I didn't tell Em that you are coming to talk to him, I didn't know if you wanted him to know. Edward what happened to your wall there is a huge hole?" she asked.

oops I forgot about Emmett punching my wall, I laughed at it while Bella thought I was insane.

"Emmett did it when he seen you last night. He was hurt and my poor wall suffered. Also, I need to talk to Emmett about why I was in jail because he sort of worked out that your parents framed me so I need to set him straight.

with that we left hand in hand.

"Mum we will be back soon I am taking Bella home to get fresh clothes, okay?"

"ok Edward be careful. Hello Bella, how are you dear?"

"ok mum"

"Good thanks Esme. Bye."

On the car ride we were quite lost in our own thoughts but didn't stop me from looking over to see Bella. She had a look of worry and sadness in her eyes.

Bella don't worry okay they don't hate you, you're going to be fine."

she looked like she wanted to cry. With a nod of her head we went back to our thoughts. I was worried about going to see her parents, I was trying to avoid them. yes they helped me heaps but I did kind' a get into a fight with Charlie before I went away and it wasn't pretty. We both looked as bad as the other. I have seen them a few times since then, they want me to join them. Charlie said he hasn't met anyone as good as him for a very long time besides Emmett. I do owe them, they stopped me getting killed and bailed me out of jail, I just didn't know how to control my temper. My knuckles were white from the grip I had on the steering wheel. we were parked out in front of the house. Bella touched my arm and gave me a reassuring smile and that was all I needed. We got out and went to go inside.

Everyone was coming down the stairs when Bella yelled out that she was home you could here them rushing down the stairs. We were still standing just inside the door, neither one of us too sure about moving any more inside, as soon as Emmett seen us he stopped in his tracks making everyone fall flat on there ass. If I wasn't so stressed it would have been funny.

"What the hell Emmett?" Charlie and Renee asked at the same time making Bella and I smile.

Bella cracking the tension in the air said "fine then I will just leave if you don't want me here."

That's all it took to get Emmett to move again he was there in two seconds flat giving her a big bear hug. Bella had to slap his head hard for him to let her down. Charlie and Renee were still in shock. They knew I was getting out but thought it was next week. They got over it and went to Bella hugging her like she was glass, it was a good thing I don't think her ribs could take any more.

"Hello Edward, see you got out earlier then we knew about?"

"Yea I recovered quicker then they thought so they let me out a week early." was all I said to Renee.

Charlie walked over to me and said "glad it worked out."

"Yea, um, thanks for the help."

we all stood there in silence not knowing what to say to the other, finally Bella said "I need a shower and clean clothes and Edward wants to talk to Em."

"What? I didn't say anything I swear" was Emmett's reply.

"I know man just want to talk about something you said last night you got most of it right but not all I need to set it right, okay?"

"okay, lets go"

With that we were going out the front.

"okay man I'm going to tell you it all just be patient." he just looked at me and sat down waiting for me to continue.

I sat and gathered all my thoughts I didn't want to tell anyone but had to I was slowly learning, I realized that we were just inside the woods but could still see the house from here.

"I was 14 when Tanya and I got together, we were together for a year before she started to want more then I wanted, she wanted sex and one night we went to a party. you see Alice had a bad feeling about it and begged me not to go, I didn't listen to her, that's where I met your parents. they new Tanya's cousin. they were there visiting. that night Tanya wasn't taking no as an answer I ended up going home without her. I didn't want what she wanted so I left before it got too bad, the next morning nice and early we had your parents turn up, The first thing your dad did was punch me hard in the mouth. well my temper got the better of me and we went for it. he looked just as bad as I did, before we could kill each other the police showed up there was ten males. it took them all to get me and your dad off each other. we got chucked into two different patty wagons, they took me to the police station where I got charged with raping Tanya. after ages at the interview Charlie came in and seen me talking to me saying that after talking to Tanya and having the police talk to her he knew it didn't happen and was sorry for what did happen that he would help me get out for some reason I believed him."

it was silent for awhile while I let Emmett take this all in.

"I went to court not long after and got sentenced to seven years with no probation. I was sent off not saying bye to mum, dad or Alice. I looked back and seen them all in tears, it was not easy. it took a couple of weeks before I knew the ins and out's of the place. I couldn't eat so I got week from lack of food about 6 months later you parents came, they told me they were doing all they can but this town isn't theirs any more, that her parents have taken over. they turned them all against each other. they asked me to join them in their family back here, apparently besides you no one has been able to take your dad on like that, that's why he wanted me, Tanya's family just wanted me gone I told them I didn't want to. I didn't want to do this to people didn't want my anger to over rule me all the time my trainer had only that left but he died not long after I got put in, he came and seen me for me to give your dad a message when I got out. he knew they were watching him because of who he was, things started to get worse from there. they new Charlie wanted me and I knew they didn't. I got belted every day and there was nothing I could do. there would always be someone holding me so I couldn't move well more then one there was always quite a few holding me down. Aro had it all arranged so I would take your dad up on the offer, your dad didn't know a thing about it , it went on like that for ages. I stopped my dad and mum from coming. your dad told them what was going on, so I talked to them on the phone and told them the rest of it."

"that's when your dad finally found it all out my dad told him the lot that's why they moved here so they could make it look like I was really going with use that's why dad works for use as your doctor, I nearly died when I herd what Alice did and how she joined use I know she is one tuff cocky and can even put it over me she can beat me to a bloody pole if she wanted to.

I was just waiting for the betting to come so I could tell them I give up that they won when they started they only hit me a few times before they stubbed me to kill they got me twice before I got to say the words they all wanted then a blacked out waking up in the hospital in jail. Aro, The dean came and said as soon as I got the all clear I could go home, that was a week ago I got home two days ago I was fine to travel and since dad was a doctor I was released, see your dad saved my life he new that this was only said to get me out but I still didn't want to work for him know I have to figure out if I do or not and that's it".

He was silent for so long eyes wide and angry finally he broke the silence

"I don't get it why were u sent to jail and not juvenile jail?"

"The Judge was Alic one of them he forged my papers and made it look like I was 17 instead of 15 and could be trailed as an adult".

just then we seen two cars full of guys get out at Charlie's one of them been Jake I was about to take off when Emmett held me back, I new we had to wait till they were all in position so we had the upper hand, we seen most the guys had stayed out side they thought Emmett wasn't home, well Emmett made the detraction why a came behind knocking them out there was just Jake and some other fellow inside.

That was the easy bit Emmett already had him knocked out cold why I took Jake on he was about to hit Bella they were all tied up he wasn't looking at me so I put my finger to my lips to keep Bella quite, the next thing that came out of his mouth made me see red

"thought you got away from me didn't you bitch? Well know you are going to pay like I told you" it was silent for a second before he whisper for us all to hear "what's that Bella what do you say? Yes master" then went to hit her, I grabbed his hand pulling it back, till he screamed like a little girl and let go off Bella, she ran right over to Emmett, looking back at me scared crying from the pain he just did to her it some how made me more angry seen her like that,

"Who the fuck do u think you are asshole" Jake said to me with a evil look that would scare anyone else,

"you pussy wanna just leave and never come back or I will kill you understand?" with that he laughed at me like I was joking and punched me in the face.

"Uh, was that suppose to hurt dickhead" was all I could say why his eyes went wide with shock to anger he tried again but this time I blocked him at the same time as punching him in the face breaking his nose he got up and tried to have a go again except thing time someone was behind me I turned around to look the basted getting the better of me made me stumble back just with he's presents, I never thought I would see him again.

"Jake leave" he said and with that he got up and left no second look

"well nice to see you again Eddie"

"humph what the fuck are you doing here the deal was we stay out of each others life demetri"

"well you kind' a took out my hole team and if I didn't stop you with Jake you would have tore him apart to so know I need you to join me"

he wasn't asking he was telling me by this time every one was untied and Charlie came over and said "in your dreams mate he's with me"

"pfft you think I can't take you on Charlie your nothing compared to me"

"He might not be able to but I can we have proof of that"

"Fine but this isn't over Edward you will join me"

"You wish and no I wont I'm right were I am"

"We will see my daughter still loves you, you know even after what you did to her?"

"Yea you wish and I did nothing and you know it now get out before I make you get out"

"Did Charlie here tell you that your trainer Manson is dead" with that every one gasped

"No but I knew and I no use has something to do with it now get out before I kill you"

with that he left. Every one was staring at me, this was not going good all of a sudden I had Charlie in my face,

"why didn't you tell me?" he asked so quite I only just hurt him it hurt him that I didn't tell him.

"Because Manson said not to made me promise and that I was to tell you this when something like this happened" with that it was so quite no one was moving at all "He said to step up and get the game on I don't know what it means but he said you do" he gasped and grabbed hold of the kitchen bench before he got this big ass creepy looking smile on his face.

With that I went over to Bella she ran to me I picked her up and walked out of the house with her sat her in my car and kissed her I was so relieved that she was ok.
