As I pulled up to Bella's house something was off. The door was wide open and I saw her coat lying on the ground at the front steps. Quickly, I parked my car on the side of the road and hopped out.

When I got to the steps I noticed a crushed beer can and that the glass on the door was broken and lying all over the place. Then I saw something that truly frightened me; blood.

There wasn't much of it but you could tell whoever was responsible for this had managed to injure themselves…or someone. I slowly stepped over the glass and thought of the possibilities. Charlie's cruiser was parked in the driveway and Bella was home. If someone had broken into the house Charlie should have been able to defend his daughter and himself. Bella, using her unique talent of clumsiness, could have injured herself and was in the process of cleaning up.

Then I heard a muffled scream coming from upstairs and ran to the staircase. I climbed the steps two at a time and listened for another sound but all I heard was silence. I was sure of the sound I heard but why was it now so still?

I began walking in the direction of Bella's room hoping to find her there but before I could open the door I heard heavy breathing behind me.

I spun around to see Charlie Swan standing behind me with a corrupt smile on his face. I gave him a run over and he had blood on his hands, but there were no wounds. What had he done to Bella?

"Hey Edward, nice see you around here." He slurred heading towards me. His walk was sturdy but he swerved a bit as he charged. He was extremely drunk. Though I was smaller than him I was undoubtfully stronger and I had pretty good reflexes. As he went to attack me I moved out of the way and pushed him down.

He laid still on the ground, probably passed out from the alcohol amount. Then I heard a small whimper from his bedroom and I ran in.

There, lying on the floor was Bella. There was a little blood coming from her head and her leg was bent at an odd angle. Her eyes were red and tear stained as she struggled to open them. Her lip was quivering and she bit down on it as she held in silent sobs. I quickly knelt down to her on the floor and I felt tears run down my face. Though she was bloody and broken she still looked beautiful as ever. But she was so broken.

I took my phone out of my pocket and dialed 911. I quickly explained to them the situation and that their police station better not wait for their chief.

Once I hung up I pressed my fingers against her neck to make sure nothing was broken. My father was a doctor and over the years I had learned a few basics in medical training. Once I confirmed that was alright I put my hands on either side of her head.

"Bella can you hear me?" I asked her keeping my voice low and soft. A look of confusion crossed her face and she opened her eyes.

Her eyes widened when she saw me and she opened her mouth to say something but then shut it wincing in pain and grabbing her leg. I had to move her off the floor so in one swift movement I pulled her into my arms and placed her onto the bed slowly as not to jostle her leg. When I saw lifting her up I noticed a piece of glass on her head and I put her on her side so that it didn't dig farther in. I wasn't sure has deep it was but if I took it out she might bleed to death.

I sat beside her on the bed and contemplated as to whether or not I should hold her hand and reassure her that help was coming but I was too afraid she would push me away.

I was brought out of my thoughts by a sound in the hallway. Charlie was awake. I hopped off the bed and ran outside to see a very confused Charlie trying to stand up. I stood there in front of the doorway ready to defend Bella if he charged when I heard sirens.

Charlie looked at his hands taking note of the blood. He looked to me with a look of horror on his face.

"What is going on Edward?" He said barely above a whisper.

I looked at me, anger evident in his eyes. "Are you referring to how you allowed yourself to get completely drunk and almost killed your daughter whose blood you're covered in?!" He looked too shocked too respond and before he could say any more officers and EMT's ran into the house and he was being taken away.

The last thing I remembered was being lifted onto a gurney and carried into an ambulance before I drifted into unconsciousness.

While I drifted I thought about what had occurred. I had been attacked by a very intoxicated Charlie and while he was kicking me upstairs we heard footsteps downstairs. I tried to scream for help but Charlie covered my mouth with his hand and it came out muffled. Apparently the person had heard though because he headed upstairs.

I was told to stay silent as Charlie went into the hallway. By this point I was in so much pain. My leg was bent really weird and I couldn't move it. I also felt a huge throb as blood dripped down the back of my head where the glass cut in. I bit down on my lip so the sobs wouldn't shake my body.

I felt something fall and vibrate the floor and I prayed it wasn't whoever had come. I was in too much pain to hear what words were exchanged so I didn't even know what happened. I then felt footsteps come into the room and they weren't heavy like Charlie's.

My first thought was that it was Jake but then the person didn't say anything and I felt them kneel down beside me and take in a breath. I tried so hard to open my eyes but I was too weak.

The person had his warm fingers on my neck as if to examine me and then I felt two hands on either side of my head. "Bella can you hear me?"

The voice sounded so heavenly and so familiar. I hadn't heard that voice say a caring word to me in so long and a good part of me had missed it. Another part of me was screaming against having his help. Edward didn't care about me and I couldn't let myself believe otherwise.

Edward. I had missed him so much these past couple years and I didn't let myself believe it until now. I opened my eyes to see him leaning over me with tears in my eyes. I was so confused and I wanted to say something to him but I felt the pain coming and quickly bit back down on my lip. My leg was in so much pain and I didn't want to go into hysterics either.

I hadn't even realized my eyes had shut until I felt his arms picking me up and placing me on the bed and watching for the glass that was lodged into my head. He sat down on the bed next to me and I so greatly wanted to reach out and squeeze his hand but my mind pushed that want away. I couldn't forget about the hurt he caused me and pretend he didn't cause me pain. I loved him and he threw me away.

But then he ran out and I heard Charlie speaking, much softer than his rough and callous voice just 15 minutes before. He sounded sincerely confused and I felt a little bad for him. I didn't want to make him feel guilty but at the same time he took his drinking too far and I'm sure I was feeling worse.

So now I was lying in this hospital bed hearing many voices around me. I could hear a heart monitor beeping next to me and hear it increase as I slowly became aware. As I opened my eyes I was a little shocked.

There in my room stood Jake, Alice, Emmett, Rose, Jasper, and Edward.

"Oh thank god" said Jake as he came over to give me a hug. I tried to lift my arms to hug him back but they hurt too much and as I looked at them they were covered in purple bruises.

I was still confused though. Why were they all here? Why was Jake hugging me? This was the brother who abandoned all contact with me until recently this morning and the friends who had quit on me long ago. Why did they care?

When Jake pulled away and I got a good look at his face what I saw made me gasp. The first thing I saw was his eyes. There were dark circles underneath them and he liked so worn. The rest of his face was filled with an anguish I hadn't even seen the day mom died.

I just looked at him for a moment and then he broke the silence.

"Bella…I am so sorry, I shouldn't have gone out, I should have been home…I can't believe Charlie did that!" He put his head in his hands and sat down in the chair next to me.

Emmett came over to me next and grabbed my hand. I gave him a small smile. "Hey" I said. Emmett was the one person who never quite gave up on me. I really loved him for that.

"Hey Squirt." he said smiling. Everyone's gaze in the room was on me and it felt weird.

"Where's Charlie?" I asked. But I guess I already knew the answer.

Jake stood back up and looked at me. "Once the police came he was arrested. Apparently he was too drunk to remember anything"

Slowly I began to cry. My life truly had fallen apart. Charlie was going away to jail, Jake was my only guardian and his college would either have to be put on hold next year or I would go into foster care, my friends who previously didn't care much for me now pitied me, and I had nothing left. It had more or less been like this for awhile but now it was official.

Jake went in to hug me again but I didn't lean into his embrace. I just lay there.

"Bella, what's wrong?" I snapped.

"Do you want to know what's wrong Jake?! Everything, everything has been messed up these past 2 years! You are almost never home, and when you were around me you couldn't even look me in the eye let alone speak to me! I did everything around the house while you and Charlie ignored me. I did your laundry, cooked, cleaned, did the bills, and still managed to cope with Mom's death and get my schoolwork done on my own. Both of you came to expect it to! And you were never even home to know that Charlie has been having a drinking problem for quite awhile now and you never even questioned the bruises!"

I was fuming now and Jake looked extremely taken aback. But I wasn't done, I have held everything in for too long and he deserved to know how I felt.

"You're my big brother Jake, and the old Jake protected me, but I needed you and you abandoned me, taking advantage of my willingness to help out. God Jake, where did my brother go?!" Now I was sobbing and I could hear the heart monitor going crazy. At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if it stopped.

"I've been so alone these past 2 years" I whispered to myself. "I needed my friends, and most importantly I needed my best friend" I looked at Edward now. "Thank you for saving me from Charlie Edward, really, thanks but I've needed saving for quite some time now and never once did you think to pick me up. I had to endure the pain of your words on the day I needed you most."

Edward and Jake were both standing by me now. They had been the main targets of my rant and both their faces were so pained.

"I'm sorry I just don't know how much more I can take." I whispered the last part before rolling over signaling them to leave.

Once I heard the last footsteps leave the room I fell to pieces, I knew there was going to be a trial of some sort for Charlie and I didn't know what to expect from that. For now though I wanted to sleep, everything that needed to be dealt with could be dealt with tomorrow.

Once we all got into the hallway I watched as Jake fell to his knees.

Bella had finally spoken up after 2 years. It was amazing how she had held that in for so long without exploding, anyone else would have. But Bella was simply her selfless self. And it was shameful that she had been taken advantage of. I was ashamed

Alice looked distraught. I had seen how everyone began to treat Bella or more so not treat her. She became an outcast and everyone had given up on her making progress. I knew she just needed time and patience but at the time I was too out of character to assist.

As for Jake, I wasn't quite sure what to do. He must have been beside himself with guilt. I saw the way he broke off contact between them. And the individual guilt of knowing she had been getting abused for awhile now without his knowing must have been worse.

She was right. She had been abandoned and though I was a main target of her outburst Jake had received the bad end.

"It's all my fault." He said looking up at us. "I was supposed to protect her, or at least be there for her; instead I've been ignoring everything that has to do with her…god, what have I done!"

I knelt by beside him. "It's mine too Jake, I was such an ass that day 2 years ago, I ruined everything and she trusted me like she did you. I kicked her in the dust and gave my attention to some fake Barbie idolized girl who never even meant anything to me. I abandoned her when she needed me." I sighed

"I can only be proud that I found her before anything worse happened, but if I hadn't screwed up she would have told me."

I then heard a tortured sob coming from the other side of the door in Bella's room. She was so broken and it was us who shattered her.

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that youve been living in
And if you do not want to see me again I would understand
I would understand
The angry boy a bit too insane
Icing over a secret pain
You know you don't belong
You're the first to fight
You're way too loud
You're the flash of light on a burial shroud
I know something's wrong
Well everyone I know has got a reason
To say put the past away

Jumper: third eye blind

There was a longer chapter and some action….hope you enjoyed it!

Yes I realized after writing this that drunk people don't regain consciousness that quickly and don't magically forget that quickly either but let's pretend….for the story's sake?

So hopefully you know what I want now….is a review so much to ask for?
