Return to Forks
Chapter 4
BPOV
I woke up the next morning with a pounding headache.
I came downstairs and Charlie and Dmitri both looked at me in surprise.
"What? You've never seen a girl sporting a black eye before?" I joked.
The both chuckled and we fell into a comfortable silence as we ate breakfast.
"So dad, I was wondering if I could have my punishment lifted, so I could take Bella out shopping today." Dmitri asked dad.
Dad looked in thought for a moment and then looked at me.
"Well, does Bells, want to go?" he asked.
I shook my head yes as I was chewing my cereal.
"O.K., it can be lifted, as long as you're with your sister." he smiled.
"Stay with her, remember she's new here and not use to the area." Charlie warned.
"Yeah, I know dad." Dmitri smiled.
"Oh, and if you here from Felix. Tell him his ass is to be home tonight! It's Christmas Eve, he'll see Alice all damn day tomorrow." dad sighed and kissed my forehead and left for work.
We went up stairs to dress and I slipped on sunglasses, Dmitri told me to text Felix dad's message, because dad would be very pissed if he wasn't home tonight.
We left for Port Angeles to do some shopping and then to the grocery store for tonight's dinner, which he said was a secret, until we got to the store.
We had a great time shopping and hanging out.
Of course everyone was looking at me with my black eye and at him like he was the one who did it.
We'd split up for an hour, so I could go into a few girly shops and he went to the car store down the street, we were meeting at the coffee shop in the middle.
I was trying on some stuff when I heard.
"I can't fucking believe Jake! There he was last night all over this skinny white girl, it's suppose to be Chief Swan's daughter, whatever, for as fine as the boys are, she sure as hell got the ugly stick! He was kissing on her neck and she just met him, I bet that's why she had to leave her last place, she's a big slut, a whore, that's the only way a guy is going to fuck her. Seriously, you've got to see her! I gave her a good right hook though, she didn't even know what hit her." They were all right outside my door laughing, I couldn't get out.
I heard a couple doors open and talking in the dressing rooms, I took a deep breath and walked out of the dressing room and as soon as I turned around, I ran into I'm guessing Leah Clearwater.
"Ready for round 2 Swan?" she smirked.
DPOV
I was waiting at the coffee shop and had saw Felix and Alice walking around, I whistled and the jogged over to me.
"Hey, Alice, I've been waiting for 20 minutes for Bella and she still hasn't came out of the girly stores yet, could you find her, I'm starving!" I whined.
"Sure thing D!" she smiled.
She walked off and I talked to Felix about what happened last night so he didn't freak out when he saw Bells, shit, Alice would freak though and want to take her on another shopping excursion for makeup. I wanted to eat.
"So, what are we going to do about Black?" Felix asked.
"Well, Bella said it wasn't him, it was all Leah and dad believes her, he knows how crazy that bitch is, when anyone is around Jake." I said.
"Yeah, but he shouldn't have put Bella in the situation." he sighed.
Just then we saw Alice and Bella walking out of the shop and Bella was crying, Alice barely able to hold her up.
Felix bolted before I could and picked her up and carried her to the table.
There was blood on her lip and she was holding her side.
"What the fuck Bella? Did you have a fight at the sakes rack?" I laughed.
Alice shot me a glare.
We heard commotion coming from across the street and look up to see Leah, followed by 2 of her friends Kim and Claire, walking out and laughing, looking at us.
That was it, I'd had enough.
I called dad.
"Dad, we need you in Port Angeles, Leah just beat the shit out of Bella again." I said.
"I know you don't have any authority here, but she needs you right now and maybe you could call your friend on the force here." I sighed as I paced the sidewalk.
About 45 minutes later, my dad pulled up with a Port Angeles P.D. car behind him and Sue was with him as well, we'd moved to my car now and Bella was asleep in the back seat.
Sue looked torn, until she saw Bella's face, she gasped and buried her head in dads chest.
"I can't believe Leah did this." she cried.
We told the officer of the store and they had tape of Leah yelling at Bella and punching her in the mouth, but not in the stomach, we're guessing that happened in the dressing room area and no video tapes are allowed in there for privacy reasons.
We had to wake Bella up, dad carried her to his police cruiser, he wanted her to go to the hospital to make sure there were no broken ribs or anything.
Alice road with them and Felix and I drove our own cars back.
Dad said he'd call Alice's dad, Dr, Cullen to see if he was on duty, since he full trusted him and luckily he was.
By the time we got to the hospital, the entire gang was there.
Dad carried her to the room Carlisle showed him and then we waited while they did x-rays and the police came to take her statement.
I felt so bad for Sue, she look so miserable and on Christmas Eve.
Bella ended up having a cracked rib, all were bruised, she'd need to keep them wrapped, living with us guys, we'd all done it before, so we were pros.
Carlisle gave her pain medication and said she could go home but had to take it easy.
"Can we still come over for Christmas?" she asked and everyone laughed.
"Of course Bella. You'll just have EVERYONE waiting on you, making it even more special for you." he kissed her forehead and walked out.
They wheeled Bella out to my car and I lifted her in carefully.
"Dmitri, I still need to go to the store, I need stuff." she smiled.
"Bells, I can get whatever you need." I smiled."No, I don't think you understand…" she said, leaving it open.
Then it dawned on me, shit there was NO WAY I was buying those…
"Will you be O.K. to walk a little?" I asked.
"I think so, yeah." she smiled.
I called dad and told him, he didn't get it at first either, but then when I finally spelled it out for him, he agreed to let her try and walk a little.
We got a few small things and her personal items, then headed home.
I picked her up and carried her inside and laid her on the couch.
I brought in all the groceries and told her I'd put her stuff in the guest bathroom downstairs.
Bella was whining because we wouldn't let her cook and we had to eat pizza on Christmas Eve. We told her we were really O.K. with that, because it was our tradition anyway.
She giggled at that and we sat back and watched Christmas movies and ate pizza and popcorn all night.
We all went to bed around midnight, dad gave Bella her pain pill and she was out like a light.
BPOV
I awoke the next morning feeling completely refreshed, the best nights sleep I'd ever had.
Until I moved that is… That shit hurt!
I grimaced at the pain, but was determined to make the boys a nice breakfast.
I made eggs, bacon, pancakes and toast. They could choose their own drinks.
I heard running down the stairs and my dad stumbling into kitchen.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING BELLA?" my dad roared
I dropped the bowl of batter on the floor, my dad had startled me so badly and tears sprang to my eyes, he talked to me the way mom always did, may it was a front to make me comfortable here for a few days, that's all, to trap me here, I couldn't stay, I wouldn't stay.
I took off up the stairs, holding my side and crying from the pain of my ribs and the hurt in my heart, I slammed my door and fell on my bed, choking on a sob from the pain and just cried, no one came after me for a while.
"Bells, it's Dee, can I come in?" he asked.
"Hey, it's Charlie's house, do the fuck whatever." I spat.
"Why are you looking at bus tickets?" he asked.
"I'm leaving. I'm not wanted here either, so I'm leaving, I'm not suffering again like I did with mom." I choked back another sob, trying to push back my feelings and get back the emptiness.
"What the hell are you talking about Bella?" Dmitri asked me."
"Dad, he yelled at me the way mom and her boyfriends always did! He doesn't love me Dmitri!
He doesn't want me here, none of you do… I can live on my own, I'll figure out a way." I spat.
Dmitri yelled for Felix to come up and he came busting through my door.
"What the fuck is going on?" he asked.
"Our sister thinks we don't want her here." Dmitri snapped.
"What?" Felix roared.
"Yeah, because dad yelled at her for being on her feet, AFTER the doctor told her NOT to be." Dmitri said.
"Bells, you've got to kidding me." Felix said.
"No, I'm not. I'm not going to stay here and be treated like that again. I lived like that for years, always being yelled at hit, I'm not going to live in that world again!" I shouted and ran to my bed and cried.
I heard my door open and feet shuffling and my bed dipping and then my dads hands rubbing my back, I flinched at first.
"Bells, I'm not going to hurt you, ever. I'm sorry for yelling. I was just concerned for you hurting yourself again. The doctor said you need to bed on bed rest ONLY, sweetie. I want you to get better, O.K. I am so sorry for scaring you by yelling." he sighed and ran his fingers through my hair.
I sat up and hugged him tightly and cried, then whimpered in pain.
"Come on Bells, lets get you downstairs for breakfast and meds." my dad picked me up and carried me down to the couch.
