Chapter 9: Bella's pov.

When I woke up it was dark; I couldn't see where I was. My body was aching so badly it felt as if I was beaten by a baseball bat over and over again. My head had this excruciating head ache. While my eyes felt like they were about to pop out of its sockets. I felt around to where my desk lamp should be if I was still in my room. Luckily I was correct and found the light switch. I turned on the lamp and looked around. A few papers and books were on the ground but nothing else was out of its place. I slowly got up and walked towards my bathroom. With every step I took a sharp sting coursed through my body.

I finally reached the bathroom and walked to the sink. I turned on the light switch before I looked in the mirror. I was so afraid to see how I looked but I needed to know the condition I was in. Maybe and hopefully I'll be able to cover it up with make-up. 'Ok, Bella you can do this. 1…2…3' I took a deep breath then looked at my face in the mirror. My left eye is swollen and bruised, my bottom lip was swollen and had a cut on it, and there was dry blood streaks coming from my nose. "Oh great! How will I be able to hide this at school? Hmmm…maybe no one will notice? Its not like people at school actually care about me." I coaxed myself.

After washing my face as carefully and gently as possible, I decided to go downstairs to get some ice. I was rather curious where my parents were. I walked over to the refrigerator to get ice from the freezer. I then noticed a note held by a magnet. It was addressed to me from my father. I removed it from its place before getting myself some ice. Once I wrapped the ice in a towel; I walked over to the kitchen table with the note in my right hand and my left hand holding the ice pack to my left eye.

I laid the note down onto the table before I pulled out a chair from under the table and seated myself comfortably. I sat there for what seemed like hours but only a few minutes. I glanced at the clock it was 5:30 am; I had to be at work by 8 o'clock. I took a deep breath and opened the note.

"Dear Isabella,

My sweet and darling child. I'm sorry for what happened with your mother yesterday morning. We were supposed to have gone to La Push but Billy had to do something. So we weren't going to go there until the afternoon. I know your mother is a bit eccentric at times. I wish you didn't really have to suffer for her mishaps. Instead of going to La Push this weekend. I took the week off or at least on stand by, to take your mother to Seattle to settle down. Hopefully this'll calm her down some. She could just be stressed out. Don't hold it against her ok? She is your mother after all and she loves you. We'll be in Seattle for the next week. You have my number if anything. I know you can take care of yourself. I love you my baby girl. And your mother does too!

Your Father

p.s after what happened I called the Newtons to tell them that you were sick. So you have this Sunday off. Hopefully you be fine by Tuesday to go to work again. If not tell me so I can call her again."

"Just fucking great! I get a beating and my mother gets a vacation in Seattle with my father!" I was absolutely livid. Not only did my mother get away with beating me but she actually be rewarded! "I need to clear my mind." There's only one thing that I yearned to do to clear my head. My arms we pulsating and my fingers were twitching for me to do it. I needed to cut.

I ran upstairs crying practically tripping the whole way there. I reached my bathroom and opened the medicine cabinet where I hid the blade. As I reached for the blade and towel a bottle of pills fell out. It was some kind of prescribed aspirin that I take when I have my monthly visit. It seemed so inviting to do both. Just as I was about to pop open the pill bottle I heard a door close downstairs. My curiosity got the better of me forcing me to put the pills down on the sink. I headed downstairs to investigate what the noise was.

'Did they come back? I hope not.' With every step down the stairs I prayed that it was just my imagination. I reached the final step and looked in the living room. No one was there. I walked over to the kitchen no one was there either. It probably was just my imagination.

I was about to head back up to my room when a knock at the front door came. I looked at the clock it was only 7 o'clock "Who could it be so early in the morning?" I walked over to the front window and peaked outside, I couldn't see anyone. I walked over to the front door and looked through the peep hole. I didn't see anyone there either. I unlocked the door only leaving the chain in its place.

I slowly pulled it open and peaked through the crack. I couldn't believe who it was. My eyes bugged out; well my right eye. What the heck is he doing here? This is unbelievable! The fact that he came to my house is unbelievable to begin with but with the condition I'm in that makes it even worse. "Hi…Can I help you?" I asked.

A/N OOOOH another cliffy! Who could it be??? What do you think will happen? Hehe terrible aint I? well drop me a review. I know its short but my mind is blank when it comes to Bella sometimes.
