A Bad Love

Previously...

"I'm off to work, you guys better get to school. Izzys driving because she's got work. Ciaus…. Go home, she isn't going to to do anything stupid." Charlie said leaving the house. "I hope" Alec and Ciaus heard when he was outside. He was about to speak up when Izzy cut him off.

"He's right. You need to hunt…. Go home Alec will look after us in the car and Jane will be there at school"

"What about work?"

"I'll be fine. I have done it hundreds of time before, stop worrying. Your starting to sound like Dickless." Izzy laughed grabbing the keys and got up yelling "let's roll!"

The ride to school was silent, Alec and Perrie didn't know what to say to to the girl in the drivers seat. Getting annoyed with the silence Izzy sighed turning on the radio. To the others it would seem that she was trying to fill the silence but to Izzy she was trying to distract her mind, letting the music stop her dark thoughts. She told the others that she was fine because she didn't want them worrying, that and she didn't want everyone to be overly clingy with her. Reminding her that she was fucked up in the head, others would say that she wasn't but Izzy could help but feel like that. Feel like she was just a disappointment to everyone she loved. A burden. The fact that she was doing so well before all this pissed her off, the court case tipped her over the edge. She was being constantly paranoid, looking over her shoulder as if someone was there watching her. She could feel eye watching her every move and that made her bad. Bring me the Horizon- Drown was playing on the radio. Humming along silently Izzy pulled up to the school parking lot. Before she even stopped the car she could feel her friend's eyes on her. Putting on a brave face she cut off the engine and stepped out of the vehicle.

Jess slowly walked up to her with a timid smile forced on her face, she looked like she would break down any moment.

"Hey Izzy" she hugged her tightly not letting go. Seeing the others walking up to them she gave them a small smile.

"Jess honey. There's this thing called oxygen. I kind of need it to live." she said rubbing the blondes back soothingly, Jess pulled away, pink tinging her cheeks. she mumbles her apologies.

"How are you feeling Isabella?" Jasper asked seriously, prodding his power towards her seeing if he could get a read of her.

"I'm fine. I was just being silly. Overreacting, as always. You don't have to worry about lil' ol' me." she said with a small smile taking in her surroundings. She could feel someone watching her again. Looking over her shoulder, she cast a glance towards the forest behind the school, where she could feel the eyes. Not being able to see anything she gave up not wanting to worry anyone.

"You are not fine Isabella. I don't think you ever were. You're still fragile sweetheart" Angela said in a small voice.

"Believe me, there is nothing to worry about. I am fine. I will go about the day as I usually do. Go to school, do my work assigned to me, finish school, head to work, get payed and come home. Nothing is going to change." Izzy said in a confident voiced that fooled everyone but herself. The warning bell rang from the main office and students headed to their homeroom while the little group just stood there looking at their fragile friend. Giving up Izzy sighed and walked towards the school.

Charlie sighed, rubbing his temples as he looked through the paper work. He couldn't keep his mind on his work, he was constantly thinking about his daughter. Worrying about her.

Why didn't he notice that she was still bad, surrounded by darkness. His daughter was still so fragile and he didn't even notice. Was he a bad father or was she just really good at acting? Why did he think she was strong enough to face the two men who caused her so much pain? Why didn't he think about her mental state in this? There were just so many why's and he couldn't answer any of them. Pulling his hair in frustration he growled at his own stupidity. The signs were all there thinking bad on it, he just never saw them as they came. What kind of father was he?

The door bell signaling someone had just walked in pulled him from his thoughts.

"How may help you today miss?" Charlie said looking up, his breath was momentarily caught in his throat. She was stunning. Shaking his head, he looked back at her. She looked at him with wide eyes, the looked confused, happy, and angry at the same time.

"Y-your Isabella S-swan's father?" she stuttered.

"I am. How do you know my daughter?" he asked the woman suspisously

"We are just old friends. I met her in Italy, through Perrie actually." she explained nervously looking at him, meeting his eye she quickly looked away shyly. "I'm sorry I'm not usually like this. I- I don't know what's wrong with me."

"It's quite alright dear." Charlie smiled at the shy beauty. She looked at lose what to do. "Is there a reason you came in here or did you just want Isabella? Because if you came for Isabella she is at school at the moment and wont be back until 10 o'clock tonight because of work."

"I actually came here for help. My ex, well i guess he is my ex now we never actually broke up. He abused me emotionally and physically but he has disappeared and I can't help but feel scared. What if he shows up again? I cant live in this kind of fear anymore. Its just too much" she sobbed. Charlie didn't know what to say to the woman.

"It's okay. We will do everything in our power to help you. Is that why you wanted Isabella? She's been through a similar thing and you needed her help?" Charlie asked getting up walking round his desk to comfort the upset woman. She gasped but nodded.

"It doesn't matter anymore. Isabella has got a lot on her plate at the moment any way. I will just get help of the police." she told him

"That's fine. Now stop crying, a beautiful woman like you should not be crying" he told her gently putting his hands on her shoulder rubbing them with his thumbs trying to calm her. This is really unprofessional he thought to himself Why can't I stop myself?

"You're really sweet Mr Swan. How old are you may i ask?" she asked looking up at him with watery eyes. The question shocked him but he answered anyway.

"I am 36 and yourself?"

"I'm 23" she told him " I know this is kind of forward, but would we be able to meet up for dinner sometime. I mean you are just really sweet and I feel like I can connect with you."

This woman just didn't stop shocking him.

"I think I would like that" he smiled down at her "but what of the age distance?"

"Age has never bothered me Mr Swan. My ex was 31"

"Speaking of your ex, what has his name so we can get some details on him?" He asked returning to his desk.

"His name was James Hunter." she said. Charlie nodded and wrote down the name.

"And your name dear?"

"Victoria. Victoria Samuel."

"Guys i have to head to work. do you think you would be able to take Perrie back for me?" Izzy said walking towards her car at the end of the school day.

"That's fine Izzy, what time are you finishing tonight?" Jane asked sitting on the bonnet of her car.

"10. I should be back by half past." she replied taking out her phone. "Dad just messaged me. He has a date tonight so he wont be in until later. So if you want you can stay over with her."

"Okay. Quick question. Where do you actually work?" Jane asked curiously.

"At a bar in Port Angeles. Don't worry about me. It's only a 20 minute drive" Jane nodded and jumped off the bonnet embracing her into a hug. She stiffened slightly before relaxing.

"We can't help but worry. It comes with the territory. Family first." Izzy smiled at the little blonde vampire.

"Thanks sweetie, I best get going. Got to get to work." Izzy said getting into her car. She waved at them with a fake smile as she pulled out of the parking lot. when they were out of view she sighed in exhaustion, she had forgotten how much effort there was in just faking happiness. She put The Black Keys album in the CD player, trying to keep her eyes from wandering off the road.

Finally she pulled up out side the bar she worked at. 'Jackson's Bar' sign hung above the door. Looking at Ryan smiling at him slightly.

"How are you today Isabella?" he asked her kindly holding the door open for her. Out of all the bouncers Izzy met Ryan was by far the kindest. He enjoyed his job, which was strange in her eyes.

"I could be better. You on the doors tonight?"

"Yeah, your on bar duty by the way. Are you singing tonight?" he walked behind her as she went behind the bar.

"I think so. Jesy said she wanted me too sing weekly, something about bringing more customer in." she said as she cleaned down the bar and put the glasses in the dish washer. "Who was working last night? This place is a shit tip."

"I think it was Tyler. He said something about leaving it to you, seeing how far he can push you. You know you being all fearless and shit" he chuckles winking at her completely unaware of the pain she was going through. Laughing along she checked the time 5:30 she went and cleaned all the side tables and got out all the glasses. She was finishing up when Jesy walked in, seeing Izzy she beamed. and walked over to the small brunette embracing her tightly. Izzy stiffened slightly but returned the embrace anyhow.

"How are you love? I have missed you dearly" she exclaimed with her strong British accent. Jesy had moved from England when her parents had passed in a car accident. She was 19 at the time, she has been living in Port Angeles for 5 years. When she reached legal age she used her inheritance to open a bar. She told Izzy that she was going to call it 'Jesy's Bar' but her friends told her that she would loose customers if people thought a woman was running the place so she used her second name instead.

"Its only been a week Jacks. Its had its ups and downs but i'll live" Jesy rolled her eyes at the use of her nickname but laughed.

"Sweetheart you know you can always come to talk to me if you need it. You don't have my number for nothing you know."

"I know i can come to you whenever. Your like family" she told the blond curvy woman.

"Alrighty! We need open this place up. We aren't going to get customer sitting on our arses and nattering away like an old lesbian couple." Jesy winked at Izzy "Not that i haven't thought about you in that way Isabella" she added saucily over her shoulder, heading to open the doors. Izzy rolled her eyes and sighed for what felt like the millionth time that day, she once again placed a fake smile on her face and waited for people to roll in through the now open doors.

"I have a bad feeling about this guys" Jake said from his place on the couch, frowning. "I mean when does Charlie ever date? He has never even tried too, he has always been too hung up on Renee"

"He has actually been on a fair few date since Izzy kicked herself up and started to hang out with us, Isabella always told us. It isn't our fault that your were too busy shagging Angela to listen." Jess told him, making the two mentioned blush.

"Oh" Jake mumbled "I still have a bad feeling. Think about it, he left at 8:30 its going on 11:00 now. Whats taking so long?"

"That is kind of odd" Jane said a frown taking over her perfect features. Just the Ciaus and Peter burst in to the room.

"We need to get to Port Angeles. Now!" Peter told them seriously. Ciaus had a look of worry set firmly on his face.

"I will see you next week Isabella! Good show tonight!" Jesy yelled from the cash register behind the bar.

"See you Jacks!" Izzy replied walking towards the door.

When she got to her car she looked through her CD's seeing what she could listen to on the way back, deciding she would listen to 'Bowling For Soup' she placed it in the CD player and pulled out of works car park. She was finally free for at least 20 minutes. She didn't have to worry about hurting anyone. She could think whatever the hell she wanted and not have to worry about a vampire look at her like she was about to jump out of the car door at any point, not that she didn't think about it. She has but she would never do that to her Father. She meant to much to him and vise versa. Sighing once again, she skipped through the song list and stopped at 'Punk Rock 101' singing along quietly.

Just as the song was ending her phone buzzed on the passenger seat, she took her eyes of the road for a second to pick it up. When she was looking forward again there was a person standing facing her in the middle of the road. Gasping she swerved the car and everything went black.

Another chapter, hope you like it.

Sorry for the long wait for a new chapter for this story. Things have just been so shit at the moment. I had to spend the night in hospital the other day because of my own stupidity I guess people would call it. I just don't want to live in darkness anymore. I tired of everything. I hurt all the time. I just don't know what to do anymore. I don't think my parents released how fragile I still am. I pretended I was happy but I guess that just made everything worse. I just don't feel comfortable talking to them. Is that bad? I mean I love them to bit I just don't feel like I could go up to them and tell them how I feel. My head is in a jumble.

I just don't get it. Whats the point in life if there are so many ways to end it?
