This story starts at the time before Twilight began. I've seen quite a few fanfics of Bella having abusive or neglectful parents. I think it's an interesting concept and I wanted give it a try. I will try to vague out the abuse but this is rated M for abuse. I also am aging down Bella to 14 instead of 17.

Chapter one

My mother always found a way to make my life hell. If it was her hand, a broom handle, or belt. I've been hit so much I barely feel it. I tried telling someone once and I learned my mistake that day. She will hit even harder and school teachers won't believe me.

I haven't seen my father since I was like two. I don't remember his face. Never got a phone call or a card from him. I expect I'd be abused there as well, if not he would have taken me away from my mother already. But I guess I'm about to find out. As my mother said this morning Pack your things, you are going to live with your father. I've had enough of you.

So that's what I did. My fourteen years of life all fit in a carry-on. I hoped that my life would get better but I'd be lying if I said I believed it.

Now I stand in front of an airport wondering which one is my dad. I wonder if my life will get better or worse. Then he approached me.

"Are you Bella?" he said

All I did was nod. He obviously wasn't happy about me being here. He had a heavy smell of alcohol coming off of him. Great. I thought.

I was put in the backseat. The drive was only about ten minutes but seemed like ten hours.

"This is your room. You are only allowed out for meals, the bathroom, and school. You start tomorrow." he said.

Yep this is going to be worse not better.

The next day

I went to school. I just hoped this wasn't going to be as bad as my home life. A girl walked up to me. A few years older, porcelain skin, a pixie cut and Amber eyes. She was almost doll-like.

"Hello, you are new. I'm Alice. Let me help you out " she was acting very nice but I felt she probably was waiting to find the right moment to tease me "

"And here is your first class. I hope to be good friends. I will find you during lunch."

I just nodded. The first few hours went by decently fast. Then the bell rang for lunch. As I walked out Alice was waiting for me by the door and I was dragged away by her.

We arrived at a table. "These are my siblings, Rose, Emmett, Edward, and Jasper. We are all adopted and are super close. And everyone this is Bella" I sat down and answered everyone's questions.

"Why did you move here"

"My mom was sick of me"

"Where are you from"

"Arizona, but I was born here."

Edward kept giving me a look. The why did a bring a stranger, a human, to our table? I've seen a few visions about her, I'll explain more later I thought in my head hoping it be enough.

"How do you like it here so far" I asked Bella.

"It's okay " she smiled

Bella pov

After school I went straight home. As soon as a walked in I felt it. His hand beating me. It went on for an hour until he was finally done.

Bleeding, bruising but I don't think anything was broken

Alice pov

My entire family surrounded me. "What is the deal?" asked rose.

"Bella was being abused by her mother. She came here and is being abused even worse by her father "

Everyone's face went blank. Even Rose felt bad for what she just said.

"Can you bring her here tomorrow?" Carlisle asked

"I'll try"

The next day

I walked Bella in and had her sit down. Carlisle walked in and sat next to her.

Bella pov

"How long has it been going on" he asked me

"What do you mean "

"I see the bruises, you didn't do a very good job at covering them up"

His words kind of shocked me, in the past no one really cares enough to notice.

"My entire life, as long as a remember at least"

"Do you need help" he asked me. All I thought was help from what. It's either my abusive mother of my abusive father. I have no other family that I know of but even if I did they'd probably hit me too.

"There's no point, it's either my abusive father or my abusive mother. It's a loose, loose situation. Thanks for the offer though"

"I need to go before he gets really mad and throws me through a window or something" I said before running

Carlisle pov

"is there something we can do" Alice asked

"If she is willing we can do some stuff at the hospital we can tie injuries to both parents we may be able to get her out of there. But it is a long process"

"I hope she's willing Alice said"
