Bella's POV

Once Edward left, I went to my closet and picked out a dark pair jeans that were a little too big for me and then picked out a over sized T-shirt that had long enough sleeves on it so there was no chance that anyone would see the bruises on my shoulders. I hoped that Mike would not like this outfit and that he would decide I was too ugly for him or something.

When I was finally ready to face Mike, I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. I noticed the guys where playing Halo and no one noticed me walk in except Edward. When our eyes met, I noticed that his were filled with angry and pity. I immediately looked away, scared that maybe he could read the look in my eyes that I am sure where filled with horror of being so close to Mike and fear of it happening again. I started to walk out of the room when I tripped over a chair and this made everyone turn around. Emmett and Edward came rushing over to me to help me up and when Emmett got there he said,

"Bella, are you okay?…How are your ribs? Do they hurt?…Do you think you broke something again?"

Edward then said, completely confused "Her ribs?"

"Yeah, she has a hair line fracture on like the third one down on her left side from falling off her bike…,which is also how she broke her wrist.…Bella is an accident waiting to happen. When we went to see your dad, he took an X- Ray of her whole body and saw that she has broken at least ten bones in the past and that was without even looking that hard."

Jasper piped in now "Jeez Bella, you should be kept in a padded room."

The room was filled with laughter except Edward. He was not laughing. He just had a complete look of horror on his face. Finally, the laugher died down and my cheeks turned back to their normal color, but a new sound filled the silence and that was Emmett's stomach growling. He looked up, laughing a booming laugh and said, "I guess it is time for lunch. where do you guys want to go?"

Mike popped up, "How about we go to Moe's?"

Everyone chimed in, in agreement.

Emmett headed towards the phone in the kitchen and picked it up and dialed, then waited a second and said, "Hey dad, I just wanted to let you know Bella, Jasper, Edward, Mike and I are going to Moe's and we will be back later...oh okay, I will tell her….Bye dad." Then he hung up the phone and handed it to me and said, "Dad says that your step dad…Phil called for you and that he wanted you to call back as soon as possible so you should probably call him before we leave."

I grabbed the phone and headed upstairs to talk to a man I thought I would never have to talk to again.

Edwards POV

Emmett hung up the phone and handed it to Bella and said "Dad says that your step dad…Phil called for you and that he wanted you to call back as soon as possible so you should probably call him before we leave."

When he said this I could see the look of horror that crossed Bella's face and knew at that moment that this was the same Phil that had raped her just like Mike had and just like James had. But what made it worse was the fact that Phil was her step dad. Fury built up in me and before I realized it, Bella was gone.

Bella's POV

The phone rang three times before Phil picked up.

"Hello Isabella."

"Hi" I said in a flat voice.

"So how is Washington?"

"Fine…what do you want Phil," I did not feel like playing games with him.

"Well, is that any way to talk to your father?"

"You're not my father…"

"Well, I have some good new for you…"

"What?" I said irritated.

"I just got traded to a team in Washington that is not too far from Forks."

"WHAT?…NO!….YOU CAN'T!"

"I believe I can Isabella and I will be moving to Forks in a week and me and Charlie will split the custody for you. I talked to him yesterday about it."

I was in complete shock and could not speak.

"Well, I will see you in a week Bella…I've missed you." He said the last part in a voice that made me want to curl up into a ball and cry and that is exactly what I did once I hung up the phone.

I heard the door open behind me, but I could not move. Suddenly strong arms lifted me up that I was sure had to be Emmett's and they pulled me into there lap. I felt suddenly better in Emmett's arms. I felt like I fit perfectly there and that nothing in the world could hurt me with him there. I tried to stop crying, but I couldn't even open my eyes.

"It's okay Bella,…shhh…IIts okay. No one is going to hurt you again. I pro-" that is when I realized the voice did not belong to Emmett, but to Edward and push him away, not letting him finish his sentence. But, as soon as I pushed him away I felt the tears coming back and even harder this time.

Edward sat there for a moment, but pulled me back into his lap and I instantly felt better and for some reason, not at all uncomfortable. I tried to push him away though, because I did not want him or anyone else for that matter to see me like this, but he held on tighter and would not let me go and eventually I stopped trying to fight him. I then grabbed onto him and held him close, sobbing into his shirt. It had probably been about ten minutes when I finally got control of myself and I released Edward, even though I did not want to. I did not want to freak him out even more. But as I released him I realized what he had said the first time he held me. He had said 'It's okay Bella…shhh…Its okay. no one is going to hurt you again I pro-' he was going to say promise and how did he know that someone had hurt me. I looked up at him and he looked back down at me with a look in his eyes that I had never seen anyone look at me with before.

"Bella…are you okay?…What happened? What did Phil say?"

What was I going to tell him? I knew I could tell him the truth, but I knew what Phil would do if I told anyone about him. He had said that if I told anyone he would go after my mom and I could not let that happen. "He…he said my mom and him split up…" well at least that would explain when he came here why my mom wasn't with him and sure a lot of people would be upset about that so it sounded like a good lie to me.

Edward POV

"He…he said my mom and him split up…" I knew she was lying, but I knew I still could not tell her I knew. But since that was not why he called I had to know what they had really talked about and why Bella looked so scared.

Before I could ask her another question she stood up wiping the remaining tears away and said "Please don't tell Emmett about this…" I was not sure if she meant the crying or the fact that Phil and her mom has 'Spilt'.

"Of course, and I just want you to know what ever you tell me is just between us and that I am always here to talk." I wanted her to trust me and I knew it was going to take a while, but I would not give up.

She smiled up at me, but I could tell that is was a fake smile and said, "Well if I ever had anything that I needed to talk about, I will keep that in mind, but lets go to lunch."

We walked back downstairs and Emmett, Jasper, and Mike were playing Halo again and probably where completely oblivious to anything that had gone on upstairs.

"Hey, are you guys ready to go to lunch?" Bella said trying to force as much cheerfulness as she could into her voice, but I could tell it was not really happy. She was scared to death and it had something to do with Phil and what he told her on the phone.

Everyone got up and headed towards the door. We could not all fit in Emmett Jeep so Mike offered "I can take Bella in my car." When he said this, I saw Bella's fake smile drop and show her true emotions for moment, but she quickly put back up her facade.

I was not going to have Bella alone with Mike so I said "Hey Mike, I'm going you and Bella…okay?"

"Okay, whatever man," and I could tell his plan had been ruined and he was annoyed, but I didn't care. I was not going to let him do anything to Bella and the very fact that he was trying to hurt her again made me even more angry.

Ok so I am pretty sure this will be the last chapter tonight because at 8:30 is the UF Vs. Miami game. So tell me what you thought of this chapter and anything you thought was weird or didn't like.
