Isabella, preferred as Bella has been alone since she was thirteen and ran away. She has been on the streets ever since. Her father was abusive, leaving her with both physical and mental scars and her mother too scared to do anything about it. Her parents never even reported her missing, not that Bella was surprised.
Bella, now seventeen, is still fighting to survive. She rummages through trash just to find food. She hopes she doesn't have to live like this forever but she knows that probably will be the case.
Now she is limping, sitting outside of the hospital in a small town called Forks. Parents pass by hiding their kids so they don't look at her. The elderly usually give her sad, sympathetic looks. Most usually ignore her.
Bella pov
I was just sitting, hoping no one will ask me to leave. Seeing people flood in and out, me just watching them all. Sometimes hearing little bits of gossip. Then suddenly, someone interrupted my little fantasy world.
"Are you alright" He asked
"I am fine, please don't tell me to leave"
"I am not, but why are you just sitting outside of a hospital"
"I have nowhere else to go, watching the people passes the time"
"How old are you"
"seventeen "
"Your parents must be worried"
"I ran away because of their abuse four years ago. They didn't even report me as missing"
"Let me introduce myself, I am Dr. Cullen, I had three foster kids I ended up adopting. I would appreciate it if you let me help you"
All I did was nod and off we went.

When I laid my eyes on her I knew I needed to help her. She was a child who was put through so much pain. I could tell even before she mentioned it that she was abused and on the streets for a while. After I took her to my car I sent a text to Esme and explained what was happening.
"Don't worry they'll all love you. There are the twins Rosalie and Jasper, and then Alice. All high school age so don't worry about that"
And off we went.
