Here's chapter 7. Enjoy :)

Alice's POV

As soon as Carlisle said I should go and see if Bella was okay I was on my feet. I walked over to the bathroom door and knocked gently on the door. I waited a few seconds before opening the door and walking in and closed the door behind me.

Bella was on the floor of the bathroom clutching her chest and sobbing her heart out. I didn't know quite what to do. She was hysterical. I did the first thing that popped into my head. I kneeled down beside her and pulled her into my chest and let her cry. She clutched onto my shirt tightly.

In that moment I wanted nothing more than to be human and be able to cry with her. I could feel the tears well up in my eyes but they would never fall. My unbeating heart broke for the girl in my arms. She has obviously been through a hell of a lot over the years and I wanted to do everything I could to help her but just didn't know where to start.

I don't know how long we spent on the floor but her sobs finally got quieter and her breathing slowed. The grip she had on my shirt slowly loosened and when I looked down she had fallen asleep. She didn't look very comfortable.

I picked her up bridal style and opened the door of the bathroom and carried her over to her bed and carefully placed her in the bed. I pulled the thin blanket over her and left the room to go and find where Edward and Carlisle were.

It wasn't very hard to find them. They were in Carlisle's office talking about Bella. I knocked on the door and they told me to come in.

'Is Bella okay?' Edward asked me immediately.

'Don't worry she's fine. She asleep now' I told him.

'Good she needs some rest after what she has been through today' Carlisle says.

'I don't understand how anyone could hurt another human being like that. I don't even want to think about what she has been through the past few years' Edward said. The thought of what he just said sent shivers down my spine.

' I know and I really hope she changes her mind on telling the police. They deserve to be punished' Carlisle says sitting down in his chair.

' I don't think she will go to the police to be honest. If with us saying we will protect her, she is still frightened about what they will do to her bit either way I won't let them touch her ever again' I say. I kept getting glimpses of her thinking it over but she is undecided.

' I won't allow anyone to hurt her no more' Edward said with anger in his voice. its strange how quickly he has fallen for her but I'm happy that he has finally found someone to love.

'Did you hear how fast her heartbeat started going when I told her that her father was on the way?' Carlisle asks.

'Yes I heard it and that worries me a lot. She is clearly frightened of her father' Edward said.

' I agree with Edward. I think she is scared of him. The other day when I dropped her off from school her heartbeat suddenly increased when we reached her house' I say to them.

'What do we do?' Edward asks Carlisle.

'I honestly don't know. We need evidence before we can do anything and we can't do anything until Bella tells us what is happening but until then we should keep an eye on her as much as possible' Carlisle said sadly. He was right. All we could do was wait and see if she will confide in us.

'Maybe someone should be there with her when her father is there so that he don't get the chance to hurt her if he is abusing her' I suggested. I knew who would want to be with her even before I said it.

'I will stay with her. I won't let him lay a finger on her' Edward said. We both nodded at him.

'Guys we have to tread carefully here just incase we are wrong about this. We can't go accusing him of abuse if he hasn't done anything wrong' Carlisle said and what he was saying made perfect sense. I mean it would ruin his life.

'I know. Don't worry we will let Bella tell us' We both said.

'I'm going to go check on Bella. Her father should be here soon' Carlisle said.

'We will come with you' I said. With that we left the room and headed towards Bella's room.

Bella's POV

I woke up with a banging headache and my eyes were red and puffy from crying so much. I felt horribly tired and felt pain travel through my body every time I moved. I don't know how long I was out for but it didn't feel very long. Every time I went to open my eyes they felt very heavy.

When I managed to open them I found three pairs of golden eyes looking at me in concern. I suddenly felt really shy and blushed bright red. I hated having any attention on me. I went to sit up but ended up wincing in pain. Alice got up and helped me sit against the pillows.

'Thank you Alice' I thanked her smiling at her.

'Your welcome. How are you feeling?' she asked me.

'My head feels like its going to explode but apart from that i'm feeling better' I said.

'Here take these. They will help with the headache' Carlisle said handing me the painkillers and glass of water. I took them and thanked him.

'We need to keep you in overnight Bella to keep an eye on you but you should be able to go home tomorrow. If you feel up to it' Carlisle says causing my heart to speed up a little. I couldn't call that place a home because it wasn't more like hell. I couldn't wait till I was 18 and I can get the hell out of that house.

'Okay' I respond.

'Bella your father is in the waiting room. Do you want to see him?' Carlisle asked me. I couldn't exactly say no to him as it would raise suspicions. I just hoped he wouldn't try to do anything to me. It was better to just get over and done with.

'Yes please' I said to him. He gave me a weak smile and left the room and Alice gives me a hug and tells me she will be back later on tonight.

I turn to Edward to find him staring at me. When he sees me looking he smiles at me which makes me blush. We seem to get lost in each others eyes and I struggle to be able to look away from his eyes. They drawn me in. I don't know why but being in his presence makes me feel safe.

Our little moment gets interrupted by the door to my room opens and in comes Charlie looking beyond pissed. He sends me a glare and I can see warning in his eyes that if I tell anyone he will kill me. My heart feels like its going to come out of my chest. I can tell he has been drinking as he can hardly walk without wobbling all over the place.

'Aww Bella are you okay?' He asks pretending to care. I know he is only saying that as an act. He doesn't give care if im okay or not.

'I'm fine' I say to him in a barely loud whisper. My hands were shaking with nerves.

'When can she come home?' he asks Carlisle with an evil gleam in his eyes. He only wants me home so he can beat me and use me for his sick pleasure.

'Well she has to stay in overnight for observation but she should be okay to go home tomorrow depending on how she is feeling' Carlisle says and you could hear anger in his voice. Did he suspect something? Charlie didn't reply to him, he just nodded his head and turned back to look at me or should I say glare at me.

I could feel my body shaking in fear. I wish that Alice and Edward hadn't bought me here. They have no idea what they have done. He will be convinced that I have told someone which will make his next beating even worse if they could get any worse.

'Do you mind if I speak to my daughter alone please' he asks Edward and Carlisle and my eyes go wide in fear.

'Yeah, we will right outside if you need us' Carlisle says and walks over and literally almost has to drag Edward out with him which made me think that maybe they did suspect that something was happening. almost immediately after they left the room, Charlie's faced turned murderous and I knew instantly I was in deep trouble.

'What did I tell you about coming to the hospital!? You knew what would happen if you did' He said quietly bending down right in my face. I was trembling with fear.

'I'm sorry.. please its not my fault. I got attacked and passed out. I couldn't exactly stop them when I was unconscious' I pleaded with him.

'Everything is your fault. your just a worthless piece of shit and I swear if you tell anyone I will kill you' He says in a deadly voice which sends shivers down my spine. His words sting even though you would think I would be used to him saying things like this to me by now.

'I won't I promise' I said to him hoping he would just leave me alone.

'You better not and you will be home tomorrow no matter what' He says and stomps out of the room leaving me relived that he didn't touch me. It could of been so much worse. I knew that when I get home tomorrow he wouldn't be so nice when he had me all alone. When I finally managed to calm my breathing and relax, I sank into the pillows and closed my eyes falling into a restless sleep.
