Enjoy the chapter!
She was alone in the woods back in Forks, it was dark and late at night, it probably was midnight. Not only was it dark out but it was windy. The wind would push her in the directions she didn't want to go, she wanted to get out of there she was terrified. It was then she heard the snap of a twig. She quickly snapped her head to where she hears the sound. It was then she saw the face, the face she wanted to get away from.
She was then running, but had no clue as to where to go, she was running faster and faster as fast as she could and it still wasn't enough she heard him start running and he was gaining on her and she was terrified. She was terrified of him catching her she was terrified of never getting out of their and to truly the live the life that she has always wanted.
She kept running and running, until she was engulfed in darkness, she knew she was in water now and she needed to get out, but she couldn't she was struggling for air, she tired swimming to the surface but see could get there, she was being pulled, down and down. She still struggled but it was no use, she was almost engulfed in the blackness for good until she woke up.
For the past three months that she had been Chicago, she has been having the same nightmare over and over again. It was always her dying and it was always her father catching her. She hated them she wanted them gone from her life, she wanted to escape her past but her dreams are trying to make her remember.
Her past may have made who she is today but she still didn't want it, it made her feel she was weak pathetic and stupid. She felt disgusted with herself for the way she had let him treated her when she lived with him, and she never wanted to feel that way again.
She didn't want Charlie to have that effect on her she hated him, for this, she hated herself even after moving she was glad to be out of his life but that life still affected her and she didn't want to admit it to herself she wanted to deny everything that has happened.
This was supposed to be a fresh start but she just didn't know anymore she felt she knew nothing anymore which made her feel even more disgusted with herself for some unbeknown reason.

She fell back a sleep later after her nightmare passed and got a little sleep in, when she woke up in the morning refreshed, but when she noticed the time she started freaking out, her alarm clock didn't go off again she really needed to buy a new one for herself.
Thankful that she took a shower the night before she quickly got changed, put light make up on and had a short breakfast and then made her way to work not wanting to be late, and then have the possibility to lose her job.
During the first two weeks of moving in she got accepted for a job, she didn't live to far away from work also. She worked at the local dinner as a waitress. They trained her in and after some weeks of waitressing she finally got the hang of it. She made great tips and that was the best part of the job, the tips were great, and it helped her out a lot more than she knew at first and when she counted up her money she was shocked she had worth of 1,000 dollars in one night.
She made it to work just in time and clocked in while saying hello to some of her coworkers, she never really had any friends, but the people she works with are great she has no complaints and they were the closest to having friends she has ever got.
She morning went fairly fast today, since it was a Monday, and people who didn't have time to cook in the morning came in before they would go to work. It was early and she had a couple more hours before break. Another group of people came in and she got to work, serving tables and getting their food to them when it was prepared.
It was finally noon when she got to go on her lunch break she was starving and she didn't have a large meal for breakfast that morning so she was glad to get more food.
After her break went back to work
The day went fairly well, there were a few customers who had complaints, but they were all resolved. Bella then clocked out of her shift for the day and decided to go home for the night instead of staying out and eat; she wasn't too hungry and wanted some peace and quiet.
For the rest of the night she quietly read and lost herself in the world of kings and queen.
She then finished her book and made her way to bed but not before washing her face and brushing her teeth.
*888* 888 *888*
Today Bella had the day off, and she also had another nightmare last night, and having the day off she got to sleep in more after the dream she had before she woke up.
She hadn't had a chance to get to any of the old antique stores around the city that she really been wanting to go to. She loved those shops and she loved finding and buying old things that were from the early 1800's and 1900's it was neat and she loved how each and every artifact told its own story.
She decided to walk today to save gas and to get some exercise in she didn't plan to buy anything, just look around so she only brought her purse with her.
It was still morning so she decided to make a short cut though some of the alley's to where she wanted to go, she had a map that she earlier studied so she knew most of the exists and short cuts of alley's near where she lived. The only time she wouldn't use them is a night she told herself, she didn't want anything happening to her.
But what she didn't know that it didn't matter if it was day or night no one was safe wandering alley's no matter how well they knew them.
So she took the short cut through the alley, it was dead quiet during this time of day which surprised her. While going through the Alley she noticed how no windows were opened and most of them had bars over the window, she wondered if she should get bars over her windows is it really no that safe here she thought.
She was almost around the corner when she was pulled by the arm leading her in the opposite direction she wanted to go. She was about to scream but whoever grabbed her covered her mouth before she was able to get anything out.
She was terrified, it was as if she was living her nightmares again but it wasn't Charlie who caught her though this time.
"What's a sweet thing like you doing here?" the guy who grabbed her asked, he had the most revolting breath she thought, but she was still scared. He then gripped her tighter than before
"I'm taking a shortcut." She spoke.
"Hum you know it's not safe in Alley's it would seem someone like you would avoid them." He said.
"I do, at night." She said.
"What makes you think it's any safer during the day, honey you watch too much TV, not very thing happens at night."
"What do you want, if you want my purse, have it."
"What makes you think I want you purse?"
"I'm not stupid, people like you need money, how else are you doing got make yourself not look so hideous." She sneered.
"Why you little bitch." He said while throwing her to the ground, and stepping on her ankle hard enough to hear a snapping sound.
It was then she screamed really loud, it almost sounded like a screech, knowing that it probably alerted someone, and hoped that someone would come and help her out.
Not to so soon later she heard men shouting and footsteps coming closer and then the guy that had a hold of her moved away and ran.
The men had just come around the corner when he left, and the guy who was the fastest ran after him while the other helped Bella.
"Are you okay miss, we heard you screaming and we knew something was wrong, this has happened before and we needed to make sure you were okay." The man said he looked to be in his forties.
"I'm okay now, but I don't think my ankle is, I think he broke it." She said.
"Here let me help you up." He then took her by the waist and put one of her arms around his shoulder so she could stand up straight while balancing her weight on her left leg.
"Just out of curiosity, why were you in the Alley way?" he asked her.
"Well I left my apartment to go to an antique shop I wanted to go to today and I knew this would be a shortcut, I just thought since it was plain day light that I would be fine." She told him.
"Next time avoid them at all cost their not safe no matter what time a day."
"Thank you, you probably saved my life."
"No need for thanks, I was doing my job, but your welcome." He said.
"What do you mean." She asked.
"I'm a cop it's my job, and the other guy is my partner who works with me at the station, I'm pretty sure he caught that man by now, so will be able to press charges on him." He said.
A feeling of relief floated through her, she now didn't have to worry about that guy ever bothering her again.
"Thank god." She said.
"Now let's get you to the hospital, I'm also pretty sure it's broken."
"What no! Couldn't you fix it up yourself; I really don't have the money to pay for something like this." She told him.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a doctor, but you really need to get it checked out, it's starting to swell up, and I'll see what I can do about you money problem." He told her.
"Okay." She finally said.
They made it to his car, and she sat in the back seat so she could elevate her leg to keep it from swelling even worse than it was.
After about a ten minute drive because of the traffic they finally made it to the hospital.
