Edwards POV

I was sitting in Emmett's room waiting for him to come back with his English book that was in Bella's room. I was starting to wonder what he was doing because he had been in there for a good five minutes already and I wanted to get started on the English project. I wanted to distract myself from what might be happening to Bella right now. No, I could not let myself think that something was happening to her. I sat there while waiting for Emmett, battling with myself over this and came to the conclusion finally that I was just reading too far into things and letting my imagination get the best of me. I had finally convinced myself of this when Emmett came running into his room again with a face of pure horror mixed with of rage. I looked at him confused, but he just grabbed my arm and bolted to the door and into his jeep. He started up the car before I had even closed the passenger side door.

Emmett was going faster than I have ever driven and I loved speed, but his speed was making me nervous and not to mention the fact I had no idea why we were going this fast or where we were even going, but I had a bad feeling in my stomach. Finally, I could not take it anymore and said "Emmett what is going on?"

Emmett looked at me for a while and seemed to be struggle with the words to say, which scared me even more because Emmett always talked and talked and talked so I knew that there was something and something bad had left him speechless. Suddenly a book landed in my lap. I looked at the cover and it said "DON"T TOUCH ME!" I hesitated for only a moment before opening it and started reading Bella's dairy.

Hi, my name is Isabella Swan, but I prefer to be called Bella but Phil my evil step dad, that I will get to in a second, always calls me Isabella because I hate it. So why do I call Phil my evil step dad? Because well, because he is. He beats my mother and me every night. Crap, Phil is coming. I will write more later.

Bella

By the end of reading that entry, I had gone completely numb because I knew that Bella was in serious danger and that it was all my fault because I let her go. How could I have been so stupid to have just let her go off with a guy who I was pretty sure at the time had raped her and then convinced myself that I was wrong and that he was a normal guy? I felt like an idiot and I felt like, no, I knew this was all my fault. I then continued to read Bella's Diary

Hey, it's Bella...Phil just left me... I feel so alone and I feel so useless… and I feel so dirty…I can not stop crying so I am sorry if the handwriting is hard to read, but I had to write how I felt or else I am going to do something I will regret later… no not that I will regret it. I really do want to die but I can't. My mom needs me, so I can't, so I will write what I am feeling…Your first time is suppose to be magical and is suppose to be something you want to remember for the rest of your life, but not me. My first time was being raped. My first time was with my step dad…My first time hurt…My first time caused me to black out in pain…I want to die but I can't…

Reading that entry broke my heart and let rage tear though my body and I felt like punching something, but decided it was best to save all this rage to save Bella from this pervert. I decided that I needed to know if I was right about Mike so I flipped towards the end of the dairy and started reading.

Hey, it's Bella…well who else would it be? But that is the only way I can think to start writing, so yeah…but anyway today was my first day of freedom…Phil is out of town for a week and since my mom has left, it is just me…I know most kids would be upset that their mom walked out on them but I could not be happier. I am happy that she will not longer be almost beaten to death every night…I will miss her, of course, but the good in this case out weighs the bad…Today I plan on not cooking dinner until 6:30 not 6:00 like I would normally have to do for Phil...wow I am such a rebel…(yeah right) Well I am going to go to sleep now. You know it is funny that even though I know that Phil is not here, I can not help but to sleep in the closest. It is the only place I feel safe anymore. Well I guess it is off to sleep in my closest…

Love Bella

Suddenly some many things made sense to me about Bella. First thing was the reason why she always wanted to know what time everyone was getting to Charlie's house and why she seemed so stressed until we gave her a time, she did it because she needed to have dinner ready or else she feared she was going to get into trouble. The second thing was that knowing that I knew that she always slept in a closet and she had not slept walked there that morning I found her in her closet and the worst part was that she only felt safe when she was in there. Sadness for Bella was pouring though my body over all this, but the biggest thing was the fact that she obviously did not feel safe in Charlie's house since she still slept in the closet. I took a deep breath and turned the page.

It's Bella (Duh!) and I am on a plane right now… I know, me! , on a plane with my fear of heights. You must be thinking "What the heck happened to make you do that?!" The story behind it is kind of long so I guess it is a good thing I have a long plane ride. OK…so Phil came home early and he has kicked me out of the house. He said that since my mom was no longer here, he has no responsibility to take care of me and therefore would not take care of me. He said I had to be gone by tomorrow and that if I ever told anyone about what he had done to me, he would go after my mom and 'kill that worthless slut' and I never intended on tell anyone because honestly, who would care I am just some weird, ugly and useless teenage girl? But now I definitely was not going to tell anyone. At first I freaked about Phil kicking me out since I had not place to go but recently I have found all these letters my mom had hidden from me that were from my dad. The letters my dad sent me told me all about him and at the end of each one it always said that if I ever wanted to come and live with him or just visit, his doors were always open to me. I had always been told by my mother that my father did not love me, but I could tell from these letters that he did and that he deeply missed me…So when Phil kicked me out I had no where to turn but Charlie, so I called and I pretended to be Renee and he bought the whole thing and was actually seemed to be excited. So right now I am on the plane and going to live with a dad I do not remember and a half brother, whom I have never meet, seen a picture of, or talked to.

I am so tired right now, but I can not go to sleep because some idiot next to me is leaning against me and touching me. I hate it when people touch me as you well know so I am scrunched up against the window, which thank goodness, I found had a shade to cover it so I could not see how high we are or else I know I would be having even more of a nervous breakdown then I already am from this guy who snoring and touching me…ahh!

Your very scared of heights and being touched, Bella

I suddenly realized that Phil's house was coming into view when we pulled up to the house. I did not even wait for Emmett to come to a stop. I jumped out of his still moving jeep and bolted towards the door. I tried to open the door but it was locked and before I could turn around to try and think of another way in, I heard a loud smash and then glass shattering. I looked to my left and found that Emmett had rammed into a window and busted it open and was now proceeding to climb though the window and then took off running into the house. I quickly followed Emmett and then ran up the stairs where I heard the sound of banging. Emmett was a little ahead of me and then I heard Emmett's loud booming voice yelling and I quickly was at his side and was in a state of shock, but only for a second when I took in the scene around me.

The scene in front of me was Emmett pulling Phil off of a shaking Bella who was completely naked. Bella was bleeding everywhere and seemed to have cuts all over her body. I quickly ran to her and grabbed her using the sheet to cover her, she seemed to immediately relax. I ran from the room with Bella and left Emmett beating the crap out of Phil. I ran Bella to Emmett's Jeep, but when I put her down I realized she had already passed out. I looked over her cuts and knew that she needed to get to a hospital and now because she was losing a lot of blood. The entire sheet was almost red. I knew that I could not drive her by myself because someone needed to hold the sheet tight around Bella or else she might bleed out on the way to the hospital. I hated to leave her but I knew I had to get Emmett back here now and quick, so I locked the doors to the jeep and took off running inside and upstairs to Emmett.

"Emmett we need to go!" I shouted at him.

"No! I need to kill this worthless piece of shit!" he said with such venom in his voice I was scared.

"No, we need to go or Bella is going to bleed to death" when I said this I could see his eyes widen with fear and understanding when he dropped an almost dead Phil on the ground and took off running towards the jeep.

Alisa )

P.S – For those of you have no clue what I am talking about here is an authors note Ali put up for me…

Hey guys, it's Ali and I just wanted to let you guys know the reason why Alisa has not updated for a while. First off, I want everyone to know it was a complete accident. I never meant to do it! Okay, so today Alisa and I were leaving our creative writing class and we were about to go our separate ways when Alisa was like "I'm going to chorus! Yippee! So that I can be harassed by my weird stalker!" (This kid like seriously shows up where ever we are but, that is beside the point) But anyway, when she said that, I gave her a high five. (It was just kind of natural at the time …. I know it sounds weird but whatever) As I high fived her, though, I did it with a little too much force and she took a step or two back and she bumped into some girl and then fell. This would not have been a problem if it had not been the fact we were right near the stairs. (Alisa is clumsy like Bella. She can trip on air just so you guys know.) Anyway she fell down the stairs and her head smacked into the railing at the bottom…Then all the kids at our school thought this was a fight and made a big crowd and started making noises like I had just freaking pushed her down the stairs, which I did not do!...Anyways, I rush down to Alisa to see if she was okay and she went to roll over but can't because she said her arm hurts too much, so I told her to stay still. About that time, the AP's made it through the crowd and pull me away from her..(Couldn't they see I was trying to help??…They are so stupid!) The school calls the paramedics, who took Alisa to the hospital where they X-rayed her and found that she had a broken left wrist and she had three broken fingers, her pinky on her left hand and her middle and index finger on her right hand. Also, her ribs are bruised and she had a mild concussion, but will be fine.

I just got back from seeing her and she wanted me to tell you guys why she has not updated and to not give up on her…she should be out tomorrow…but not sure if she can type yet, but she will find a way she says…please do not give up on her.
