~Bella's Dream~
"Have you ever had sex, Bella?"
My heart speeds up and there is a lump in my throat. I don't realize I am crying until his hand reaches out to my face and I slam my body back only to hit the wall. The man laughs and gives me a smile.
"You are so beautiful," He tilts his head. "You know that?"
My breathing is heavy. He stands up and grabs me by my arm then throws me on a bed making me bounce a few times. When I try to get off, his movement is too fast and he knocks me down again then pins me down with his body.
"You cant run from me my dear."
~End of Bella's Dream~
I wake up with sweat on my forehead and I see a shadowy figure hovering beside my bed and I cant suppress the scream that builds up in my throat.
"EMMETT!" I all but scream bloody murder.
I hear Emmett's running footsteps as he opens my door and turns on the light. The shadowy figure is gone and tears are running down my face. Emmett runs over to me and yanks me in his arms, rocking me side to side as I cry.
"Tell me what's wrong," Emmett says in my ear.
"H-he was here," I cry.
"Who? Who was here?" He pulls away and holds my head in his hands, looking at me.
"James," I tell him.
"He's not here, Bella. It was just a dream," He says.
I shake my head violently.
Emmett stands up and picks me up with him then carries me out of my room after shutting off the light and closing my door and takes me to his room. He lays me down.

I wait until Bella is asleep again before I get out of bed and go down to the kitchen and go to my large cabinet and pull out a bottle of Scotch. I don't even bother getting a glass, I just open it up and start drinking. Probably not my best idea, but I don't exactly care right now. Leaning against the counter, I look into space at the wall. I hope life isn't a joke because, if it is, I most certainly don't get it. Could a dream scare her that bad? Of course, but there is something else wrong too and I know it has something to do with what my dad and her were talking about. Taking an other drink, I close my eyes and sigh. What the hell were they talking about?
***…***
I look at the clock and it reads 1:43. Great. Looking down at the now empty bottle of Scotch in my hand. How did this all happen? After throwing away the bottle, I stumble up my stairs, tripping over a few steps along the way, but soon I make it to my room and try to carefully lay back into bed with out waking up Bella. The last thing I see before sleep takes over is Bella's brown hair.

I hear Emmett's alarm clock go off and after a few seconds he stumbles out of the bed and I fall back to sleep.
"Wake up, Bella Pooh," I faintly hear Emmett say as he rubs my back. "Come on," He says.
My eyes open and I see Emmett's face in front of mine.
"Come on," He says and sits me up.
"I don't wanna," I tell him.
Emmett stands up and kisses my head. "Get dressed. We will talk when you get down.
Sighing, I get up and go to my room. After showering, I dress in a pair of black skinny jeans and a red t-shirt then put on a pair of converse. When I get down to the kitchen, I pour myself a glass of orange juice then throw the bottle away and see a glass bottle. I close my eyes and force back the memories of Phil and my mother. I open my eyes back up when I hear Emmett's footsteps coming in closer.
"Bella?" He says.
I look up at him.
"You alright?" He gives me a concerned look.
I nod a little and walk back around the counter, grabbing my cup and taking a drink.
"So what happened last night?" He asks.
"Bad dream," Is all I tell him.
"Bella, that was a lot more than some bad dream. Why wont you tell me?"
I shake my head a little as I sigh.
"What?" He asks me.
"I cant get his voice out of my head," I tell him
It isn't a lie.
"He cant hurt you anymore, Bella. You know th-"
"It doesn't matter. You didn't see half of the things I did. You were in that dark room for one night. One. You were ripped from your life for two days while I got pulled deeper into mine. You don't know half the shit he did."
There is a knock at the door and I know it is Jasper.
"Hey gu-" Jasper says coming in but breaks off when he sees us. "Bad time?"
"Its fine," Both Emmett and I say at the same time.
"Sorry. I can come-"
"No," I tell him and rinse out the glass.
I can feel Emmett's eyes on me but he doesn't say anything. Looking at the clock, we still have a half hour to kill before we need to leave so I go and sit on the couch.
"We have a two hour early dismissal today," I hear Jasper tell Emmett.
"So what time will I pick you guys up?"
"12:45."
Nothing is said from Emmett and I see Jasper come in and sit next me on the couch. I say nothing to him as he looks at me.
"Uh… I'll uh, show you to your classes still. Lunch will be at the same time," Jasper tells me.
I nod a little.
***…***
"Bella," Emmett calls out for me just as I am about to shut the door.
I look back.
"I made you another appointment," He tells me.
I shake my head and close the door then turn back around to see Jasper waiting for me.
"You do know you don't have to wait for me…right?" I tell him.
He nods. "I know."
I shake my head a little and I hear someone yell Jasper's name. Sounds like… Jacob maybe.
"Hey dude," Says Jacob when he catches up to him.
I shake my head and start walking inside.
"Hey, Bella!" I hear Angela say a little loudly over the talking people so I can hear her.
"Hey," I say when she comes over.

When Jake and I walk into the school I search for Bella but I cant find her.
"Over there with Angela Webber," Jake points over to where they are.
I start to walk over there with Jacob but Jessica walks up to us.
"Hi guys!" She says with a smile on her face.
"Hi…" We both say weakly.
"What have you guys been up to? I haven't seen you all summer!"
"I… um… uh… well… I'll have to talk to you later," I say. "I have to…"
I walk off and go towards Bella.

Jasper comes up behind Angela and smiles a little, I don't say anything so when Angela turns around she jumps slightly not ready for Jasper to be behind her.
"Geez!" She yells.
Jasper laughs. "Sorry."
"Warn someone next time!" She says laughing a little.
"So are you going to turn into a stalker now?" I ask Jasper.
He shrugs. "Depends."
I roll my eyes as the bell rings for first period. Jasper, Angela, and I all walk to our first period class together and take our seats.
***…***
Lunch comes fairly quickly. At my old school, it seemed like lunch was the farthest period of the day from first period, but in reality, its not.
"Ready?" Jasper asks as he comes up beside me.
I nod a little.
We both walk up to the lunch line and stand there waiting for people to get their lunch.
"So what were you guys talking about this morning?" He asks.
"Stupid shit," I tell him and walk up a little.
"It cant be stupid shit if Emmett looked pissed."
"Fine. Stupid shit that you don't need to worry about. That better?"
"Nope."
I shake my head sighing a little.
"Hey," Derek comes up. "Did you get any of that math homework?"
Jasper shakes his head and I turn around.
"Nope. I don't see how she expects us to know what we are doing if she doesn't teach it to us."
"Me either. I don't like her."
"Well hopefully she will give us time to do some of it in class."
Moving up a little more I hear Jacob talking to Derek.
"Hey, Bella," Jacob decides to pop up next to me so I move away a little.
"Hi," I say.
"So about that English project. Wanna be partners?" He asks in a hopeful voice.
"Angela already asked me," I tell him.
He frowns a little and I move up again then grab a fork and a spoon along with a straw.
"Then next time?" He asks.
All I do is shrug a little.
"So, uh- what is this English assignment we are talking about?" Jasper asks.
I give him a weird look. It kinda sounds like he is just a little bit jealous.
***…***
The bell rings at the end of the day so I go to my locker really fast to drop off all of the things I don't need then Jasper and I walk out together and look for Emmett. He isn't here so I pull out my phone and try to call him but there is no answer. I look at Jasper.
"He isn't answering," I tell him.
"Well, hope you don't mind walking," He tells me.
***…***
We get home in 45 minutes of walking.
"Wanna go to my house for a little while?" Jasper asks. "It doesn't look like Emmett is home."
"Uh… sure," I say.
Walking up his drive-way, we go up to his porch and he unlocks his door. I hear laughing and a few people talking when we walk in.
"Mom?" Jasper says.
"In the kitchen," She yells back.
I follow him into the kitchen and see a women with long dirty blonde hair, pale blue eyes, and is about 5 foot 6 maybe. The man beside her has light brown hair, with light brown eyes, and it about 6 foot 3.
"Who is this?" He asks.
"Bella," Jasper tells him. "Emmett's little sister."
"So you are the famous, Bella," She says.
"Yeah, if you want to call me that," I say.
"Well that is what you are."
"Famous only by the ten o'clock news."
"Either way."
I say nothing and Jasper seems to notice the change in emotion in me and speaks up.
"Well, we are going up to my room," He says.
"Have fun."
Jasper tugs on my shirt a little and I follow him up to his room.
"Sorry about them," He says and closes the door behind me.
I shrug a little. "Its fine."
"So how about a movie?"
I nod.
***…***
I end up falling to sleep, but get woken up with Jaspers hand in my pocket and I punch him in my arm as hard as I can.
"Ow!" He yells. "Get your phone!" He rubs his arm.
"Could've just woke me up like a normal person," I tell him as I pull my phone out to see Emmett calling me.
"Hello?" I answer.
"Where are you?" He asks.
"The question is, where were you and why you didn't answer my phone call after school."
"I was at a meeting. Where are you?" He asks again.
"Where do you think? I'm at Jasper's," I tell him. "Where else would I be?"
"Well you've got Rose, Edward, my dad, Alice… take your pick."
"For one, Rose is too far away along with everyone else. And for two… why would I be with Alice?"
"Good point. Well I am home now."
"Kay."
Silence.
"Anything else?" I ask.
"Nope."
"Bye?"
"Bye."
He doesn't hang up.
"What?" I ask aggravated.
"Nothing…"
I shake my head a little and hang up on him.
"What?" Jasper asks.
"He's home," I tell him and get off his bed then grab my book bag.
"I'll walk you over there."
A/N: Well hope you guys liked it! REVIEW! :D
