Heres Chapter 4. Hope you enjoy :) xx

Bella's POV

The next morning when I woke up I was still curled up in a small ball without any clothes on and my whole body ached from head to foot. I felt like screaming. I couldnt actually believe what had happened. His beatings seemed to be getting much worse every day and I didnt know how much more my body could take.

I was biting my lip to stop myself from screaming knowing charlie was somewhere in the house and I really didnt want to have to deal with him this morning. Scrap that I didn't even want to look at him after what he did to me last night.

I climbed to my feet knowing I had to get ready for school. I walked into the bathroom and turned the shower and climbed in letting the warm water hit my battered and bruised body. I had big cuts across my shoulders where he had hit me with his belt last night after raping me and I winced when the water hit them.

I thought I was all cried out but the thought of what he did to me was too much for me to handle and I slumped to the floor of the shower and cried so much.

Once I finally managed to pull myself together, I got out and wrapped myself in a towel and stared at myself in the mirror. I couldn't recognise myself anymore. I used to always be laughing and smiling now I looked like I had no life in me no more. My whole body was covered from head to foot in bruises most of them were yellow old ones but alot of them were black and blue. I was going to have a hell of a job covering them up for school.

I quickly grabbed some clothes and put them on and then walked back into the bathroom and covered all the bruises which would be visible with makeup. I struggled to be able to cover the ones on my face as they were the worse. He always threatened that he would beat me up if I didn't cover them up.

I took a deep breath and looked in my mirror. I looked a complete mess and I knew that Alice was going to know something is up but there wasn't anything I could do. I wish that I could just have a normal happy life without all of this chaos in my life.

I finished getting ready for school and grabbed my school bag and began to slowly climb down the stairs as slowly and quietly as I could to ensure that charlie didn't hear me knowing that he would beat me but for once I didnt need to worry as he was out cold on the couch which made me sigh with relief.

Feeling brave I ran into the kitchen and grabbed something to eat and then ran out of the front door as fast as humanly possible scared that he might wake up. I was felt very happy and relived that I didn't have to deal with charlie this morning.

I walked as fast as I could to where Alice had said that she would pick me up hoping that she had remembered as I didn't think I could manage to walk all the way to school without collapsing from the amount of pain I was in.

When I arrived to where she had dropped me off yesterday she was leaning against her car. She seemed to be miles away but when she saw me coming around the corner she came bounding up to me and hugged me tightly making me hiss in pain.

She saw me wince and asked me if I was okay. I obviously couldn't tell her what had happened so I made an excuse and said that I had fell down the stairs. She looked at me weirdly before smiling and letting it go. I smiled back at her as best as i could. I was grateful to have a friend but I didn't want to drag her into my life because I knew that if amy and them saw her with me they would start bullying her aswell and I would do anything I can to stop that from happening.

With Alice's insane driving we arrived at the school within 10 minutes and we had plenty of time before lessons would start. We spent the next half an hour talking and laughing and I felt happy for the first time in a long time but i knew it would be short lived. The thought made my heart clench painfully. I knew I had either bullies or my dad to deal with by the end of the day and I didnt know if I will be able to get through it.

I didnt realise that I had went into my own world until alice was shaking my shoulders. I flinched which shocked her. I hated the fact that this is what my father had done to me. I could feel the tears coming and I really didnt want to start crying again and definitely not in front of Alice.

'Bella what's going on? you can talk to me about anything you know that dont you' Alice said looking at me with eyes full of worry. I tried my hardest but I couldn't stop the tears from falling and I wanted so badly to be able to tell her everything but I knew she wouldn't be able to help me. I mean who was going to believe that I was being abused by the cheif of police.

'Its nothing alice. It's just I miss my mother alot' I said whilst crying.

'Aww bella' she said whilst pulling me towards her and hugging me tightly which was comforting but also made me want to scream because she was making the bruises and gashes on my back agony.

After I had finally stopped crying and assured alice that I was okay we got out of the car and headed towards the school entrance but what I saw made me stopped me dead in my tracks. I knew something bad was bound to happen. There waiting for me as usual was jade and her gang. When they saw me they smirked at me and I knew that I had to get alice away from me because if i didn't they would hurt her aswell and i didnt want that to happen.

'Alice I just realised I have to meet someone why dont u go inside and ill see you in class' she looked at me suspiciously but agreed and left towards the school. I didnt know what they were going to do to me but I just knew it was going to be bad just like every single day.

I walked towards them with my head held high trying to show I wasn't afraid of them and really hoped that they might just leave me alone. Of course they didn't.

'Where do you think your going swan! and who the fuck were you with?' Jade shouted at me and I took a deep breath.

'I was going to lesson if its any of your business and I was just with a friend' I said. I had enough of her bullshit.

' Who do you think you are talking to! You don't deserve to have any friends and when we tell you that your not allowed them then you better listen or you know what will happen' Jade screamed at me. I didnt care if me talking back to her was going to make her go even worse on me. I was sick and tired of the way she was treating me.

'Amy I don't know what I did to make you hate me so much but I know one thing I will do what I like and I will be with friends with whoever I like. Even if I did stay away from her it wouldn't stop you from doing this to me everyday so go ahead I don't give a shit no more' I screamed at her. It felt good to finally stick up for myself even if it probably wasn't the smartest idea.

She looked taken back and shocked by what I said and didn't actually know how to respond which made me want to laugh. doesn't happen that often that she doesn't have anything to say.

But I knew i was in big trouble when her face suddenly went bright red and she grabbed me by the throat and slammed me against the wall causing the cuts on my back to reopen and bleed. She then threw me on the floor causing my head to hit the concrete making my head start to spin. The rest of her gang were just stood there laughing but then joined in with her. They kicked and punched me over and over and I kept screaming over and over hoping someone would help me but It all got too much for my body to handle and I blacked out.

Alice's POV

I left bella and made my way over to the school entrance where jasper was stood waiting for me. I was worried sick about bella and I know for a fact that she didn't just fall down the stairs. I knew she was missing her mother alot but I could tell that something else was bothering her.

I didnt have a clue what just happened either one minute she was walking with me all chatty then all of a sudden she stopped and said she forgot that she needed to meet somebody which was strange as she hadnt mentioned it before. I could tell she was lying but I couldn't force her to tell me anything.

'Hiya babe, are you okay? ' Jasper asked looking concerned.

'Yeah babe im fine im just really worried still about Bella I cant shift the feeling that something is wrong with her' I said. He took me into his arms and hugged me tightly.

' I know babe. where is she anyway? I thought she was riding with you?' he asks me.

' I know she was with me a minute ago then all of sudden she said she would see me in class and that she had to meet someone. I dont know but I feel like she was hiding something' I explain to him.

' Well maybe if she was getting bullied she didn't want someone to see you with her incase they started on you babe.' Jasper says. What he said actually makes alot of sense.

'Maybe your right I just wish i knew what was going on with her so I could help her' I said whilst wrapping my arms around and giving him a kiss.

' I know you do darling. I'm sure she will eventually just give her time. Now come on we have to get to lesson' He said whilst walking with his arm wrapped around my waist. We said our goodbyes and left to go to our different classes.

As I got to the door of rhemy class my favourite brother Edward was there waiting by for me which made me smile wide. He smiled at me and we entered the classroom together. Edward had been away for the past couple of days and even though he annoys me at times I missed him.

I heard him chuckle at me so I elbowed him hard in the ribs which would of broke a humans ribs but not Edwards of course. He glared at me for a minute then he started looking concerned.

'Alice whats up?' He asked me in a voice only loud enough for us to hear. I sighed and showed him everything in my head. I showed him all about Bella and how worried I was was about her safety. I saw anger flash in his eyes. He hates seeing people get hurt.

'Don't worry Alice we will find out what is going on. I tell you something when I find out who beat her up then let's just say I will be having words with them'he said.

'Don't worry you won't be the only one' I said to him which made him chuckle when I imagined all the ways I could get revenge.

I took a deep breath and turned back towards the front of the the classroom waiting for bella to come to class. She was five minutes late and that worried me. The teacher was rambling on about something but I wasn't paying attention to what he was saying.

The lesson had started 10 minutes ago and there was still no sign of bella and I was getting more and more worried as time went by. Edward could tell that I was getting panicky as he laided a reassuring hand on my arm to calm me down but it didn't work.

I then went into a vision...

*Vision*

Bella is pushed against a wall and punched over and over by a bunch of lasses. She is then threw to the floor and kicked by all six of them. she screams and begs them to stop. They just laugh and keep on kicking her.

*End of vision*

Edward gasped beside me and next thing I know I was on my feet and was running in the direction of where the vision took place. I could hear Edward running behind me. I was praying to god that she was okay when we got there.

I ran as fast as I could and as I got outside the smell of blood hit me. I ran full speed not caring if someone saw me. I couldn't believe those girls would do that to her. God help them when I get my hands on them.

We rounded the corner and what I saw broke my heart. She was unconscious and blood all over her face. I ran to her side and checked for a pulse. It was there but it was slightly weaker than what it should be.

Edward came and kneeled beside her and you could tell he was furious. He checked to see what injuries she had. He lifted her shirt up a little and we both gasped at what we saw. Her stomach was black and blue.

'OMG who the hell would do this to a person' Edward said with anger in his voice. I pulled my phone out and called an ambulance.

'Hello whats your emergency?' a mans voice asked.

'I need an ambulance to forks high school please' I told him. I could hear him typing away on a computer.

'Okay its on its way can you tell me what's happened?' He asked me.

'it's my friend shes been beaten up badly' I said whilst moving some hair out of Bella's face. I took her hand in my mine and thats when I saw she had bruises on her wrists like someone had held her down.

'Is she breathing? ' he asked.

'Yes shes breathing' I told him.

'Okay the ambulance should be there any minute.' He said and just as he said that I could hear the sirens.

'I can hear them coming thank you' I said to him.

'Your welcome. I hope your friend is okay' He said kindly and I hung up. I hope she was going to be okay aswell.

The ambulance arrived a few minutes later and they loaded her into the ambulance. Me and edward ran to my car and followed them to the hospital praying she was going to be okay.
