Heres chapter 5. enjoy :)

Alice's POV

As soon as we arrived at the hospital we raced over to where bella was being unloaded from the ambulance. She still wasn't awake and this worried me alot. Carlisle came running out of the hospital with some nurses. The paramedics started wheeling her in to the hospital and we followed. Carlisle turned to us and asked 'What happened to her?'.

'She got attacked by a gang of lasses.' Edward told him.

' Okay wait here ill let you know how she is going as soon as possible' carlisle said and followed the paramedics.

I sat down in one of the chairs in the waiting room and put my head in my hands. Edward sat down next to me and took hold of my hand. I really hoped she was okay.

'Don't worry Alice she will be fine. Carlisle will look after her.' He said and I knew he was right.

' I should never of left her this morning' I said feeling guilty. If I had stayed with her this would never of happened.

' This is isn't your fault Alice. From what I could tell those girls have been bullying her from sometime before we even came here. She has alot of old bruises but don't worry because now we know what is happening to her we can stop it from ever happening again I promise' Edward said.

' I know. I just dont understand why they would do this to her. She's such a nice girl and is nothing but kind to people yet they treat her like that.' I said feeling sorry for Bella. I can't imagine what she has been through. First losing her mother at such a young age and now being bullied. I wanted nothing more than to go to see them girls right now and give them a piece of my mind.

'Your not the only one, believe me. Don't worry they will get what is coming to them.' Edward said listening to my thoughts.

'Yes they definitely will whether Bella likes it or not' I said to him. I know for a fact she won't want to do anything about this but they deserve punishment for what they have been doing to her.

We sit waiting in a comfortable silence when my phone vibrates in my pocket. I pull it out and see I have a text message from Jasper.

Jasper: 'Hey babe where are you?.

Alice: Hey babe sorry I meant to text you. I'm with edward at the hospital. Bella's been beaten up.

Jasper: Omg is she okay?

Alice: I think so. Carlisle's checking on her now

Jasper: Do you want me to come to the hospital?

Alice: No it's fine just stay at school. I'll let you know how she is.

Jasper: Okay babe if you need anything just text and I'll be there. love you xx

Alice: I will. I love you too xx

I put my phone away just in time as carlisle comes out into the waiting room. His face looks worried which makes me panic.

' Don't worry she's fine. Will you both come to my office I need to speak to yas in private' Carlisle says and we both follow him. When we get to his office he leans against his desk and looks up to us.

'Carlisle what is going on?' Edward asked him.

'Well from the attack she has a bust lip, cuts on the back of her head and bruised ribs. She is going to be fine but I'm going to keep her in for at least 48 hours to keep an eye on her but that's not what has got me worried. When I examined her she has bruises and scars all over her body. Alice when do you think the bullying started?' Carlisle explained and asked me.

' I'm not completely sure as yes I suspected something wrong after finding her beaten yesterday but I didn't know she was being bullied until I had the vision of her being attacked but from her old injuries I would say quite along time' I told him. He nodded and seemed to be trying to work things out.

'By the look of her injuries they are pretty rough with her everyday. I can't believe any one would another person like that.' Carlisle said.

'I know it's horrible' I said.

' Alice has she said anything about her home life just with the rumours about her dad constantly drinking and what concerns me is when we took some X-rays she had alot of healed old breaks some of them about 5-6 years old' Carlisle said. I knew instantly what he was asking. The same question he asked me the other day.

'Well she hasn't said anything as such apart from about her mother passing away. I might be just looking to far into it but when we got close to her house her heartbeat increased and she seemed scared of something and asked me to drop her off at the end of the street. Also this morning I hugged her and she winced in pain and when I asked her what was wrong and she claimed she fell down the stairs but I could tell she was lying' I explained to them both.

'Well don't worry ill talk to her and find out what is happening' Carlisle said and I knew he would do everything he can to help her.

Bella's POV

I dont know how long i had been out for but my mind was slowly starting to clear and I started to be able to feel my body but I soon started to wish that I couldn't. My entire body hurt in some way. It felt like I had been hit by a truck. Every breath I took hurt like hell. I struggled to open my eyes but when I did finally manage to open them I had to close them again, the light hurt alot.

It took a while but when I did finally manage to open my eyes I started to panic. I was in the hospital and I knew charlie was going to kill me for this. He always warned me never to come to the hospital otherwise he would kill me.

The door to my room opened and in walked a doctor that looked an awful lot like Alice. The same golden eyes and pale skin. He smiled kindly at me.

'Hello Bella my names Dr cullen but you can call me Carlisle. How are you feeling?' He said. I immediately felt safe. I don't know why but I could tell he wasn't going to hurt me.

'I'm fine. What happened? How did I get here?' I asked him and tried to think back and work out what happened but I couldn't remember anything apart from passing out and then waking up here.

' You were attacked by some lasses. My daughter Alice amd her brother edward found you unconscious and called an ambulance' Carlisle explained. This is much worse than I first thought. I knew I couldn't tell them what actually happened because Jade would kill me.

'Do you remember who did to you? ' He asked.

' No' I said looking away from him. I've always been a terrible liar.

' Bella you know you can tell me anything. nobody will hurt you' He said and I wanted nothing more than to tell him but I was too frightened.

' I'm sorry I really can't tell you. It will just make things worse' I said.

' Are you being threatened Bella?' He asked. what was I supposed to tell him.

' I can't say please just leave it' I told him hoping he will just leave it.

' I know something is going on bella. you know I will find out so you might as well tell me please we want to help you' Carlisle said. I sighed knowing he wasn't going to stop harassing me until I told him. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath which was stupid as pain shot through my ribs.

'Please just leave it. I don't want to talk about it right now.' I said getting frustrated. I just wanted to be left alone.

'Okay well i'll get you something for the pain and let you get some sleep' He said and left the room. I sighed in relief. He came back a few minutes with some painkillers. I thanked him and swallowed them.

' Just so you know bella I'm not going to let this go because I know something is going on and i wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't find out who was hurting you' He said then left the room leaving me shocked. I closed my eyes and layed down further on the bed and fell asleep not to long after.

I woke up a few hours later and felt a little bit better. I was still in alot of pain but it was much more bearable. I sat up against the pillows and stared off into space. I couldn't stop myself from thinking about what was going to happen when charlie finds out about this. I knew he would kill me.

I looked out of the small window that is in the corner of my room and notice that it was getting dark which means I should of been home ages ago. He hates it when im late home. I know all to well what the punishment will be for being late.

I could feel the tears start to fall. I was sick of being scared all the time. everyday something bad had to happen to me. All I wanted was one full day without someone hurting me. I started shaking uncontrollably. I couldn't stop the tears. I needed to calm down and stop crying before anyone saw otherwise they would just ask more questions that I couldn't answer.

It took a while but I finally managed to calm down enough to stop crying. I was in quite a lot of pain. My stomach hurt like crazy. When will this pain end?

I closed my eyes hoping that the pain will go away when I heard the door open. I was scared and hoped to god it wasn't charlie. I slowly opened my eyes and let out a big breath when I realised it was just Alice.

' Aww bella I was so worried about you. how are you feeling? ' she asked me.

' I'm fine dont worry about me' I said. she smiled and sat on the bed gently.

'Of course I'm going to worry about you bella. your my friend and I care about you.' she said. I sighed.

' I know you do Alice and it means alot. I care about you too' I said which was the complete truth. Alice was the first friend I have had in a long time and I enjoyed spending time with her but I really didnt want her to get hurt because of me.

'You know I'll always be here for you' Alice said which made me feel all emotional again.

' I know thank you for helping me today and yesterday' I said.

' You dont need to thank me plus it wont just me. My brother was there to.' Alice said.

' Well can you tell him thank you for me' I said.

' Well you can tell him yourself. Bella this is edward.' Alice said and pointed over to a boy that was stood by the entrance. He came walking in and stopped at the end of my bed.

' Hello Bella its nice to meet you' He said smiling. He was handsome and his smile made me melt inside. I blushed bright red which was so embrassing.

'Hello edward. it's nice to meet you too. Thank you for helping me yesterday' I said feeling really nervous all of a sudden.

'Your welcome Bella anytime' he said smiling at me. I looked into his eyes and he had the same golden eyes that Carlisle and alice had but his seemed to hold me in a trance. I blushed and looked away.

Edward sat on the bed aswell on the other side of Alice. ' So you meet my dad Carlisle then?' Alice asked making me look at her.

'Yeah I did, hes nice. your lucky to have him as your father' I said and wished that I had a father like him. One that didn't use me as his punching bag. I couldn't stop thinking about what he said earlier saying he was going to find out what was happening.

In a way I wanted him to find out. well atleast about what jade and her gang was doing to me so that I didn't get hurt at school anymore. I felt a tear fall down my cheek. I quickly wiped it away hoping that they hadn't seen it.

' Bella are you okay?' Edward asked.

' Yeah im fine' I said hoping he will let it go.

' Then why are you crying?' He asked. I looked up at him and didn't know what to say.

'it's nothing. I'm fine' I said.

Bella I have only known u 2 days and already I know that your such a bad liar' Alice said which made smile a little. My mother used to always tell me that. I could never lie to her. I would always start laughing.

' Bella you know we will protect you at school and won't let anyone hurt you anymore so you can tell us what happened?' Edward said to me. I looked up to him. I have only just met him and he wants to help me already and I knew that his words were true. They wouldn't let them hurt me no more but I was still unsure whether to tell them or not.

maybe I could tell them but get them to promise not to tell anyone else. I definitely didn't want the police involved. My father would convince them that it wasn't worth taking it any further anyway. I know what he will say when he comes here. He will say that I deserved everything I got.

'I'll tell yas on one condition' I said looking between both of them.

'What's the condition? ' Alice asks.

' That it stays between us and goes no further. I don't want the police involved.' I said to them.

' But Bella they deserve to punished for what they have done' Carlisle said coming into the room. My head shot to him. How long had he been stood there.

'I'm sorry but that's the only way I'm saying anything. I want to deal with this my own way' I said looking at them all.

'Okay Bella but if we see them lay one finger on you from now. We will be having words with them ok' Edward said and Alice nodded her head in agreement.

'Okay fine' I said. If they are telling the truth about them protecting me then they won't get the chance to hurt me ever again.

Thank you for reading. Let me know what you think please :)
