'Bella, do you mind telling me where you come from?' Esme asked softly. I saw uncertainty from her eyes.

'I came from Forks. I am the daughter of Chief Charlie Swan.' I whispered. She was shocked. That part of memory was unlocked when Edward introduced me to Esme and Carlisle. Things happened that night started playing in my head.

Flashback

I left the birthday party of a friend of mine. I was never a big fan of any parties. I drove home slowly so that I didn't have to face my father in a short time. I hoped that moment would never come.

I pulled at the driveway outside my home. There was no light in the house. It was a good thing.

'Dad… Charlie…' I called out as I unlocked the door, but no one answered. Charlie could be too drunk to notice me or he wasn't home yet. I tiptoed into the house. Then, I noticed there was someone sitting in the living room. I walked up. Charlie was sitting on the couch, his weapon in his hand.

'Charlie, put that down please. You are the only family I have got.' He raised the gun to his head. I held out my hand to stop him. 'Don't, Charlie. Please.' I started begging him. I couldn't afford losing another family. Charlie slowly lowered his gun. I inched towards him. 'Give it to me.' Suddenly, he raised the gun to his temple and pulled the triggered. 'NOOOOO…' I screamed. I fell onto my knees, sobbing. I was numb.

'Isabella…Isabella…' someone patted on my face. I refocused on the face in front of me. It was Kyle Johnson, the deputy chief of the police. He knew what happened to me. He helped me to get up and got some paramedics to check on me, made sure I was alright.

The paramedics walked me to the ambulance and then drove me to the hospital. The paramedics tried to talk to me, tried to make me open up, but I didn't. They took me to Forks General Hospital and sent me to the ER. There were doctors and nurses waiting. They wheeled me into a private room and started to change my clothes and take everything they need to test.

'Hi, Isabella. I am Dr. Carlisle Cullen. I will be your doctor.' I nodded without looking at the doctor. I didn't pay much attention to anything more. Both my parents left me here alone. He left when he didn't get my respond.

End of flashback

'Dr. Carlisle Cullen….' I whispered.

'Bella?' Esme asked. She looked at me with worry.

I looked back at her and smiled. 'I am fine. Thank you for letting me to stay in this room. I really like it.'

Esme's worries seemed gone. Smile crept on her face. 'I am glad you like this room. I designed the house myself. Come on, we are going to have lunch at the garden.' She then led me out of the room.

Edward and Carlisle were in the living, each of them occupied on couch. Edward was reading a book and Carlisle was reading a magazine. I knew they were trying to avoid talking to each other. Edward had once told me that his father was really disappointed that he chose to be a detective, but he didn't tell me more. I made a mental note to ask him about it. I didn't want to see them like this. Esme got Carlisle to help her with the lunch and kicked me and Edward out of the kitchen, so Edward took me to the tour of the house.

'So here is the second floor, where all the bedrooms are.' We walked down the hallway and stopped at the room at the end of the hallway. The door seemed locked for a very long time. I looked at Edward, confused. He took a key out of his jeans pocket and unlocked the door.

Inside the room, all the furniture was covered with a white cloth. There was a thin layer of dust on the floor. There were bookshelves at every wall. Then, I grasped. I recognized one piece of furniture. It was a grand piano.

'A grand piano?' I asked Edward.

'Yes. It is a grand piano. It has been moved here since Carlisle didn't allow me to play the piano.'

'Edward, can I ask you something?' he nodded. 'What happened with you and your father?' I asked him carefully. I was afraid that this would provoke him. He stayed silence for a while before he spoke.

'You notice?' he asked calmly. I knew it's nowhere near calm deep inside him. I stared right into his eyes and he stared back to me. From his eyes, he was struggling with telling me the truth or not.

'You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.' I said softly.

'I betrayed Carlisle once.' He stated. I turned my head a little, gave him a question look. 'I have told you that Carlisle wanted me to follow his footsteps before. I understated that. He was more like order me to do so. He even got me an offer at Harvard medical school before I graduated from high school. I didn't like that. I always wanted to be a musician. I could only play the piano whenever Carlisle was not in the house. Before I graduated from high school, I applied for Juilliard and I got an offer. Both the place in the school and full scholarship. Esme knew about it but she didn't tell Carlisle. She thought that I should be in pursuit of my dream rather than letting someone designed who I would be. I sneaked to New York after I reported to the Harvard. When Carlisle found out, he was furious, but he couldn't say anything about me going to Juilliard since I got the full scholarship. Since then, Carlisle and I didn't say a thing to each other. Emmett and Esme really want to help us to break the ice, but it never work. I know I betrayed him. He will never forgive me about that. I will never forgive me about that too.' I walked to him and hugged him tightly. I buried my face in his chest. 'Hey, Bella. Can I ask you one thing?' Edward asked softly.

'Hey, Bella. Can I ask you one thing?' I asked her. When I introduced Bella to Esme and Carlisle, they seemed to know each other already. I didn't go back to Forks since I enrolled in Juilliard. Every year Emmett would beg me to go back to Forks with him. I always found different kinds of excuses to reject him, so that I didn't have to face Carlisle. But last year, I could no longer stand Emmett begging me, so I went back to Forks with him. I didn't know what's going on with Esme and Carlisle since I was gone.

'What do you want to know, Edward?' Bella asked, still buried her face in my chest.

'Did you know my parents before I met you?' I asked carefully. I knew Bella never brought her past up herself. She never told me about her past. I knew something happened with her father, but I didn't know what happened.

'Yes. I knew them before I moved to Chicago.' I didn't say anything. She would continue if she was ready to tell me what happened. I didn't want to push her. After all, I had done something that I lost her trust. 'I have told you that my father hit me after drunk, right?' I felt anger surged through my chest. The thought of someone hurting Bella made me feeling angry. When she first told me about being hit by her father, I also had the same feeling. 'Well, this didn't last long. My mother died in a car crash when I was in junior. That's when he started to hit me. Charlie killed himself when I was in senior, right before I graduated. Carlisle was my doctor when I was in the hospital. On the day I was released, Esme came to me. She said she wanted to help me. I already lost my family. I already felt numb to everything. I was zombie at that time. But Esme helped me a lot. She helped me dealt with the legal issue regarding Charlie's money and my future. She's the one who helped me got my life back on track. Then I decided to go to Chicago and started a new life. That's where I met Alice and Rosalie. And you know the rest.' She sighed heavily. I felt my T-shirt was wet at the chest. My hand held her face from my chest. I stared tight into her eyes. Her eyes were filled with tears. I bent down and kissed her tears, and finally, I kissed her on her lips.

Ahhhh... Finally. What do you think? Review.
