Bella's POV

I don't know how long I was out for but I was all of a sudden woken up by a loud bang. My eyes shoot open and I immediately feel the fear creep through my body. Charlie stands at the top of the basement stairs with the most evilest smirk on his face that I have ever seen. I don't know what he was planning but I knew for a fact that whatever it was, it wasn't going to be good at all.

He walked down the stairs and in his hands he held the one thing I hated more than anything. His belt. The amount of times that he had hit me over the years with that thing flashed through my mind. I felt like being sick at the thought of him hitting me with that thing again. He came towards me and dragged me up on my feet and dragged me over to the table which was in the corner of the room.

'Please Charlie don't do this' I begged him with tears falling down my cheeks. Hadn't he done enough to hurt me. How much more could he do to me? I know he is pure evil but surely he has hurt me enough for one lifetime.

'Shut the fuck up' He said slamming me face down onto the table causing my nose to smack against the table. I could feel the blood pour out of my nose, it made me go sickeningly dizzy. I have always hated the smell of blood no matter how much I had bled over the years. The pain was horrible. I felt him lift my shirt up and I could hear the wind fly past as he swung his arm back and the sound of the belt hitting my skin was disgusting and it felt even worse than ever before. I tried not to scream but I couldn't hold it in any longer which of course just made him more angrier causing him to hate me again twice as hard as the first blow.

'Stop please' I tried again knowing it would have the same consequences. My body already felt so weak and I was struggling to keep from falling unconscious again. I had to keep fighting. I had to be strong for aslong as I could. Even though he kept saying I deserved this and I had heard that alot over the years. I think deep down I know that I don't deserve to be hurt like he has hurt me.

'How many times do I have to tell you that this is all your fault? It should of been you that died not your mother. Your mother was beautiful and your just a pathetic waste of space and I wish you were never born. Your mum would be so disappointed in you!' He shouts before hitting me once more with the bed.

After countless hits he stops and I fall to my side crying and I could feel blood on my back. I was in agony. But more than anything I was beyond angry at his words and I didn't care if what I was about to say was going to make things worse. I needed to say this. I took a deep breath and with a lot of pain managed to get to my feet.

'Charlie you know I once believed that somewhere deep down my father was still there and that this monster standing in front of me right now would one day go away but I now know that I not only lost my mother all those years ago but I lost my dad too. I don't care what you say or do to me because I know that my mum loved me and I don't deserve any of this. It wasn't my fault that mum got ill, you know if I could have the choice I would trade places with her so that you could be happy.' I take a deep breath trying to keep my voice steady but finding it difficult.

'I know that you are still grieving for mum but that gives you no right to do to me what you have done to me. You have hurt me in more ways than I thought you could ever do and I will never forgive you for hurting me but please stop this and let me go. You've hurt me enough please. Do it for mum. I won't press charges if you just let me go please Charlie' I begged him.

I just wanted to get out of here and most of all I really wanted to be in edward's arms right now. I didn't know what he reaction was going to be to my words but I wasn't very hopeful. I had tried to do this once before and look how that turned out. His face went blank with shock and I could see hin turning my words over in his head. Could he finally be realising what he has done is wrong?

He seems frozen in place and whilst he is immobile I pull at my restrained hands trying to get them free. There is no way I will be able to defend myself without any hands. It hurt like hell but I managed to get the rope off. I kept the rope in my hand and my hands behind my back to keep Charlie from knowing that my hands were untied. Charlie still hadn't said anything and I started to get worried.

'Dad please' I begged him and as soon as the words left my mouth he unfroze and anger flashed across his face so fast that I stumbled backwards in shock. I realised my mistake then, I called him Dad. The one thing he told me to never call him again. How stupid could I seriously be.

He stormed forward fury leaking out of him. I dodged out of the way and made a run for the basement steps. My body protested and the pain was unbelievable but I ran as fast as I could. I managed to get to the top of the stairs when I felt his hand clamp around my ankle causing me to lose my balance. He pulled me to the bottom of the stairs and turned me so I was lying on my back and slapped me so hard my head snapped to the side.

Wow that really hurt. If I wasn't sure I was going to have a bruise before I was definitely going to have one now. Tears still poured down my face and I wasn't even sure whether they had ever stopped since I woke up earlier. He grabbed me by my hair and dragged me to my feet before flinging me across the room. The pain I was already in doubled by 100 when I hit the floor. I could feel my strength slowly beginning to disperse.

If I didn't get out of here soon, I wouldn't survive. That caused a weird feeling to occur in the pit of my stomach. There was a time I would of wished for death but I now knew I didn't want to die. I had been shown another way of living and I wanted that more than anything.

Charlie once again came towards and dragged me to my feet before slamming me into the wall. I slumped forward with the pain it caused to flare in my back. My vision was starting to go funny.

'You really are stupid Bella. Did you really think that your little speech was going to save you? I thought you would of realised by now that I dont give a shit whether you are alive or dead. It was your fault your mother died because your a ungrateful spoilt brat and if I had the choice you would of been the one to die that day. I don't get why your even fighting this, nobody wants you and nobody ever will. Your nothing but damaged goods' Charlie sneered close to my face. He was still holding me painfully against the wall.

'Yes I did because i had hope that my father was in there somewhere but I knew deep down that I was just kidding myself. And your words don't hurt me anymore Charlie because I know your wrong. I didn't kill mum and I believe you know that. And I'm fighting this because I won't let you break me. Your going to pay for this and I won't give up' I told him confidently. One of his comments I didn't know how to reply to. Was I just damaged goods?

This just caused him to go even redder in the face and slam me into the wall once again causing me to cry out in pain. It really was becoming unbearable now. I didn't even want to know what I looked like right now. I had to get out of here.

He raised his fist to punch me but I grabbed it feeling a sudden rush of adrenaline and kneed him between the legs causing him to release his grip on me. I ran for the stairs once again and this time made it to the top and out of the door. I closed the door behind me and locked it. He started banging on the door.

'You won't get away from me Bella. I will always be there. You can run but you can't hide' He shouted through the door before he started kicking it.

'Goodbye Charlie' I told him loudly before limping out of the house. I didn't know how far I could before collapsing. I could already feel myself start to weaken further and every step was like getting hit by a bus over and over but I had to get as far away from here as possible.

I walked and walked for god knows how long and it was becoming too much for my body to handle. I kept walking until I came upon a road but there was literally no cars. I didn't have the strength to go any further and I could feel myself drifting into darkness once again. I fell onto my knees and layed down and just as I was about to black out I heard the one voice that immediately made me feel safe.

'Bella!' Came edward's voice. I didn't know where it was coming from as I could no longer see anything.

'Edward' I whispered before my body give out on me and I was once again surmerged into darkness.
