Ok, so I have loads of homework atm and I have my end of year exams coming up which I really need to study for … so updates will be slower.

"Look, Edward, I have waited for help since I was born – and it never came," I looked into his eyes. "I've had enough, so, go ahead to your family. Goodbye Edward"
Edward POV
I was glad it was the end of the day. It let me talk to Bella. I couldn't tell her my feelings, but maybe she would learn to like me and not think I'm like my family. I waited at my car for Bella to come out. I saw her running across the car park to where her old truck was.
She was getting in her truck so I decided it would be a good time to go before I missed her. I ran to the truck and knocked on the window. She turned around and looked really angry.
"Edward, what do you want?" she was shouting now. This wasn't a great start.
"I wanted to talk to you about before" it was true, if anything to do with me and Bella was going to happen, then I would need to apologise.
"When? Could it be the time when I was punched and you just walked away … or could it be the time when you watched me cry, laughed and walked away? Doesn't matter which, you just left me" Why was I such an idiot? I didn't even help her.
"Bella, I'm sorry" What else could I say?
"Is that all you can say? My life has been complete hell from the day I was born. My parents both died when I was young. Me and my brother had to go into care when we were only small. And yeah, my foster parents were abusive. They turned my brother against me. And that's why he turned abusive as well. Then he had to find his girlfriend Leah, and she got pregnant with their little girl Emily. Now I am the one to look after her. To top it all off I have Lauren and her gang getting at me everyday. And now you. You and your family have topped it all off. I can't take this anymore." What? This couldn't have happened to her.
"Bella, you can get help" I would help her. I would be there to make sure she was safe.
"No, I can't. You don't understand, do you?"
"Well tell me and I will help you, I promise" she was looking behind me but I didn't want to look away. Like she would disappear if I didn't keep hold of her.
"Look, Edward, I have waited for help since I was born – and it never came," I looked into his eyes. "I've had enough; so, go ahead to your family. Goodbye Edward" What did she mean? Where was she going? I didn't want to keep her here against her will, so I left her. I started walking back to my car only to find my family.
"What does she want?" Rosalie asked me, she was so self-centred at times.
"Actually, I went over to Bella to say sorry to her. You all don't realise what she's been through,"
Alice POV
I never realised what Bella went through. I know that she was bullied at school by Laurens gang, but I didn't think I could get that bad at home.
"Why should we be bothered?" Yeah, typical Rosalie always thinking of herself.
"Because, not everyone is treated like a princess Rosalie" I snapped at her. Everyone turned to look at me. Rosalie glared, while Edward started smiling.
"Edward, can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure"
I walked away from everyone else, Edward following.
"Edward, I'm sorry about how I treated Bella. Hearing that story made me realise how lucky we all are,"
"I'm glad you understand Alice" I looked to the floor embarrassed.
"What's wrong Alice?"
"Well … I sorta snapped at Bella in class today" he growled at me.
"Hey, hey I was looking out for you."
"Well what did you say to her?" he demanded.
"I just said I was watching her … and if she got close to you we would all make her life miserable" I looked down again.
"Right that's it; we are going to see Bella"
"What, now?"
"Yes" he growled once again.
"Edward one thing"
"What Alice?"
"Can you stop with all the growling, it's really annoying" he smirked and started to drag me to his car. "Watch it I can walk you know" he let go of me and I raced off ahead of him.
"I won!" I sang to him.
"Yeah, whatever lets go" I jumped in the car and we went to find Bella.
Bella POV
It was lucky Jake wasn't home yet. I had Emily with me while I was doing my homework, when the doorbell rang. I sighed and got up to answer it. To my surprise I found Edward standing at the door.
"Edward, what do you want?" I found myself asking that question a lot.
"I have someone who wants to speak to you" he said while stepping aside revealing a mini Alice.
"Alice?"
"Yeah Bella it's me" she said back in a high pitched voice. A lot different to before in class.
"Alice, I promise I haven't gone near Edward at all, I haven't even spoken to him properly" I said, holding my hands up and backing away. I as sure I heard Edward growl at her.
"Bella, you don't have to be scared, I maybe small but I'm not capable of doing anything to you. I have my family for that" she said smirking. Maybe this wasn't her being nice after all.
"Alice …?"
"Edward let me handle this" she whispered to him.
"Ok, Bella I wanted to say sorry for what I said in class today. Edward told me about what's happened to you, and I realised that you shouldn't be treated the way you were."
"Alice … do you mean it?"
"Yes Bella one hundred percent" I smiled at her, realising we were still standing in the door.
"Would you like to come in?" they both smiled at me and walked into the house.
"Mummy, mummy!" Oh, no Emily. She came running into the room holding a drawing.
"Mummy?" Alice asked me.
"Guys, this is Emily Jakes daughter,"
"Bella, why does she call you mummy?"
"Well, I think because Jake never loos after her, its always me, she just knows me so well and thinks I'm her mummy" I said simply.
I heard a car pull up outside and froze. Jake was home.
That was my longest chapter so far – Yay!
Please can you answer my poll, it's a different one so even if you have already voted on one … its different.
My summary for this story sucks so if anyone has any ideas for a better one, I would be happy to hear them – thanks.
Please review, I got this chapter out quick because of support. Come on people!
