Bella:

Edward sat down on the other side of me. He had a grin spread on his face. "Hey Ali. Hey Bella. What's up? Oh! Ali! Guess what!"

"Hmm?" Alice raised an eyebrow but she had a grin spread upon her face.

"You know Emmett and Jazz, right?"

A look crossed her face. "Hardly. Aren't they also new students?"

He nodded. "Mm-hmm! Well, I invited them over this weekend. Hey, Bella, do you think you could come? And hang out with Ali? It would be fun." Panic raced through my heart. How would Charlie react to me going away for the weekend? I know exactly how he would act. He would beyond furious. He wouldn't let me go, no matter who much I wanted to. "Please?" he asked when he saw my hesitation.

"I don't know," I said looking down.

Alice piped in. "Please, Bella? Ooh! I could invite that one girl. What's her name? Oh! Rosalie. I talked with her yesterday. She is very cool. I like her lots. Bella, it could be so much fun. We can do makeovers and dress each other up and we could watch scary movies. Please Bella!" she whined and begged.

I sighed. She looked like she wanted me to come over very badly. I wanted to very much, as well. "I'll do my best, Alice." I stood up. "We should really start to head to class." I headed off to class with my head bent down, thinking about how I could get over there. They walked loudly behind me, discussing some ideas for the sleepover. I sat down where I always sit and they sat with me. Then these two other boys joined us. One was thin and the other one looked like he worked out a lot.

"This is Jasper," Edward pointed to the thin one. "And Emmett," he introduced the big one. Alice looked at Jasper with sparkling eyes. I was smirking mentally. Emmett had a large grin spread across and Jasper was distracted by looking at Alice. Holy cow.

"Hi," Jasper said, slipping into the seat next to Alice. She said hi and giggled. A light blush went to her cheeks.

Emmett extended his arm. "Hey, sup? I'm Emmett!" He boomed and took a seat across from me. I shook his hand. "Who are you two?"

"I'm Bella," I said quietly. "And that's Alice." Alice giggled and grinned.

-----At Home, After School-----

I walked through the door, my heart was pounding. I heard Charlie screaming and yelling. He popped out from behind the corner and grabbed me by my collar and pinned me to the wall. "At last your home." His voice was like the devil. Never mind. He is the devil. I tried to break free from his grasp but he held me tighter. "Where the hell do you think your going?" his words slurring again.

I needed to tell him that I was going somewhere this weekend. "I'm going to a friend house," I whimpered.

His eyes turned red, his breath came ragged, and he moved his hand from my collar to my neck. "You're not going anywhere you little twit. And do you know why? Because I'm big and your small. And in this house, and in your life, I. Am. God." I was frightened beyond belief. He raised his hand and slapped me across the cheek and let me fall to the ground. He kicked me repeatedly and laughed along the way. Then he did something he never had done before.

He took out a razorblade and got down on his knees and held my head. He put the blade to my throat. "Now don't breathe," he murmured. I complied. I closed my eyes, tears dripping. "Don't even think your going anywhere this weekend because I have special plans for us." He pressed the blade into my neck and I could feel it slice a tiny bit in. I could feel blood start to raise and leak over the edges. "And if I were you, I would be scared." He laughed an evil laugh that could make the devil turn pale. He took the knife from my neck and lifted up my shirt. He sliced a large slit on my side and left it bleeding. "That's only a taste," he smiled. He got up and let the knife fall and he walked out of the house. My throat was bleeding somewhat and so was my side.

He had never brought out a knife on me before. He never cut me. And he never threatened to kill me. I laid there bleeding on the floor, trying to drag myself to my room as everything was spinning. An alarm went off inside of my head. An alarm telling me I was losing too much blood. After a little while and working diligently, I was able to stop the bleeding. I couldn't exactly catch my breath but I knew I wasn't going to die of lose of blood. My phone then vibrated. I knew it was Charlie.

I put the phone up to my ear. I couldn't find the strength to say hello but the other person on the line could tell I picked up. "Bella?" Alice seemed surprised. My eyes widened.

"Yea?" I struggled to say.

"Are you okay? You sound like crap. Is something wrong?" Her voice was beyond worry.

"N-no. I'm f-fine. What can I d-do you with?"

I could practically see her frown. "Rose said that she can come. And the other complied as well. Are you going to be able to come?" I knew if I stayed home, I would probably be dead. By the way he acted, he almost killed me already. And if I went, would he come down on me twice as hard? Most likely.

It took me a second to think, to process all my options. "Yes, I'm coming."

"Fabulous! Can you come home with us after school this Friday?"

"I think that would be best…"

"Great. I'll see you tomorrow." I hung up the phone and laid my head onto the floor. I heard the front door open again and I heard Charlie's loud foot steps stomping through the house. My heart stopped and so did my breathing. He cussed loudly and left again.

-----Friday-----

My body was beyond aching as I sat down in my seat. Charlie was getting more violent lately and I didn't know the reason. He cut me on the leg and on the breast the night before. He laughed loudly and he enjoyed my pain as I yelled and screamed and struggled. Alice was chatting happily about the weekend plans. I snuck my clothes into my locker in my bag. I flinched more often then usual. And Edward was the one who looked most concerned for a reason.

After school, I climbed into Carlisle's Hummer. Carlisle seemed happy to see me and I put on a fake smile. When we got to their home, Alice dragged me to her room. Rose would be there in an hour. So would Emmett and Jasper. Alice gasped and clapped happily. "Can I dress you up?"

There was no way I could say yes. "Uh…no. I like how I am dressed at the moment. Thank you though." I managed a smile but Alice's face fell. "I'm sorry," I frowned. If only she knew the real reason. The reason which nobody needs to know.

"Can we later?" She seemed hopeful.

"I'll think about it." But I knew I wouldn't. The answer would be a no. She grinned.

The doorbell rang. "Its Rose, I already know. I'll be right back!" She left the room. When she came back in, a girl with long blonde hair followed her in. She was beautiful. Jealousy went through me again. "Rose, this is Bella. Bella, Rose."

"Hello," she smiled and sat down next to me on the floor. I smiled and nodded to her. "I'm uncomfortable in these clothes. Can I change into my PJ's?" Alice nodded.

"I'll change too," I grabbed my clothes from my backpack. I grabbed some long pants and a sweatshirt. I went into the bathroom on the main floor. Rose was just going to change there in front of Alice but I wasn't going to do that. I slipped off my pants and shirt and was just about to put on my clothes when the bathroom door opened. I stood in horror, in shock. I looked at the person who was looking at me. At my scars. It was Jasper.

He stared at me. I tried to cover up myself by putting a towel around everything but Jasper stepped in, closed the door, and locked it. Like I should have. He took the towel from me and looked at me. For some reason, his eyes were watering himself.

He moved his lips to form words but no sound came out. Tears came streaming out of my eyes. And so did his. "You too?" he whispered.
