carlisle said that since we had seen all the other's childhood homes, we were going to mine next. this horrified me to no end. especially because snie we had been to school for at least a week at all the other places, we had to go to school here too. and face all those people, and i knew they would be able to smell my blood in the hallway and on the sidewalk.

"bella are you ok?" edward asked as we loaded up the car to start driving. i nodded.

"yeah." no. i climbed into the car and we drove out of the garage and to phoenix.

"i know vampires drive like seriously fast, but how long am i going to be locked in a car with the oaf and tinkerbell?" i asked. carlisle chuckled.

"shouldnt you know that already?" jasper asked. way to add another memory to the pile, jazz.

"if i should know then so should you." i retorted.

"touche. about a day and a half." he said smiling. we stopped for taco bell and the bathroom on the way.

"where are we staying exactly?" i asked as we neard the city.

"renee said we could stay at your old house." carlisle said.

"dibs on my room!" i said.

"dibs on renees room!" emmett said.

"of course you pick the room with the biggest bed." i smirked. everyone chuckled.

"here we are, phoenix airzona." carlisle said. we drove through the rich area, and went to the poorer part. my house was small, and the front yeard was shit and there was still spray paint stains on the walls and the parch sagged.

"wow." emmett said.

"emmett!" esme scolded. i shook my head and smiled softly.

"dont worry about it. i know my house is crap. renee liked to spend more money on her, than me and the bills. i had to start working when i was ten. i babysat." i said climbing out of the car. i got my stuf out of the car and went to the front door. i checked the doorjamb and all the front sides of the house and the roof for the little traps the kids from school liked to put up to see who could kill me first. i found a knife hanging from the right by fishing line, and saw that if i opened the door slightly, the knife would fly at me and hit me in the neck, killing me, but i also knew how flimsy fishing line was. i was aware of the cullens watching me, until jasper followed my gaze.

"nobody move. even if it flies at me." i said. i opened the door and the knife flew at me flimsily. i could see that it was going to hit me in the ear and ducked thirty seconds before it hit, and waited for it to stop moving before removing the knife and the line.

"sucks for them. i just got a free knife." i said and opened the door. of course it was stuck, again. so i had to push hard. but i stayed upright. then i turned to the cullens.

"and you call yourselves monsters. ha." i said and walked into the house. it reeked of alcohol. like always. i heard the cullens following me and edward wrapped me in his arms.

" are you ok?" he demanded. i nodded.

"what in the hell was that?!" rosalie yelled.

"that was a knife flying at me on fishing line. and also the most creative thing theyve come up with. and the most stupid. seriously, fishing line? for all they know it could have stabbed my backpack! god!" i shook my head. there were bottles everywhere. "well. she certainly didnt get any better at picking up after herself. but why should i be surorised?" i muttered and started picking up the bottles. there were broken ones everywhere. i picked up the fragments and threw them in the trash. the cullens were just standing and looking in shock.

"i know you people can stand there for a week and not collapse of exhaustion, but why are you?" i asked.

"you lived like this?" carlisle asked sadly.

"school was worse." i said softly.

"what happened at school?" edward asked even sadder than carlisle. and grew even sadder as alice saw what i would tell them about.

"the jocks, were so mean. i never did anything to them, but i was on their radar. first it was just verbakl stuff. youre worthless, no one loves you, just jump off a cliff already, that kind of thing. then it got physical. and when i say physical, i mean they made me bleed in the hallway at school, and on the sidewalk on the way home. they used those kiddy lunch boxes and filled them with gravel and beat me with them. and lets not forget those lovely little surprises when i got home from school. oh and they grafitied my house." i listed. edward wrapped his arms tight around me.

"did you have any friends?" asked emmett very sadly. i nodded.

"her name was jen." i whispered.

"was?" carlisle asked.

"she ended up turning on me too. just one day in the hall walks up to me, cusses me out and slaps me on the face and laughs." i said. they were silent. i noticed the time. i gingerly checked the freezer.

"wonderful!" i said sarcastically there was nothing. anywhere. another hungry night for bella. i banged my head against the wall repeatedly. i felt two stone arms gently take me from the wall.

"can we go home yet?" i asked miserably, burrying myself into whoever took me from the wall. the arms were large, so it was a male, but it wasnt carlisle, edward or jasper. which left emmett. he chuckled softly.

"not yet. i want to see what happened to you bella." carlisle said.

"oh wonderful." i said sarcastically.

"dont worry belly." emmett said, rubbing my back.

"you tell me not to worry, please. those things, at my old school, are going to find out im here. then theyre going to wait for me in the alleys, then theyre going to try and kill me, and suceed this time!" i said. i suddenly felt a burst of calm.

"nothing is going to happen. you have us." emmett told me.

"i know, we didnt bring a cooler with us, did we?" i asked.

"no, why?" carlisle asked. i sighed.

"just wonderful. wonderful!" i said sarcastically. i pulled away from emmett and went to my old room, looking exactly how i left it and went under my floorboard, where i had my emergency money. then i went back downstairs and grabbed the car keys.

"where are you going?" edward asked.

"grocery shopping. there is literally nothing here. and if something was here, it would be unedible, and i dont drink blood." i told him.

"so after you just ranted about those people finding out youre here, youre going to a public place? where they could find you?" rosalie asked me.

"unless i want to eat air, then yes." i told her.

"then im going with you." edward said.

"me too."

"and me." so me, edward, emmett, and rosalie went to the grocery store.

"this place is a dump." rosalie said when i pulled up to the store.

"dont let rob hear you say that." i said and entered. i immidately went through my routine of grocery shopping. we got it done in less than five minutes, and i was just trailed by the vampires. i paid and we left nd it was eleven by the time we got back, but i unloaded everything and made myself my sandwhich. by then it was eleven thirty.

"bella, how late did you stay up as a child?" carlisle asked me.

"depended on the night really. if we needed food at nine o clock at night to last us the week, i went out at nine and bought it. if we needed to clean the house so the health inspector wouldnt condemn us, i cleaned the house. but most of the tie it was around now, after i shower and stuff." i said shrugging, going to take a shower and stuff. when i got to my room, edward was standing looking at it.

"its...you." he murmured. my room was a sky-ish blue with black and white accents and picutres of funny, sarcastic quotes on the walls and a poster of horrible jokes. there was an old, really old desk in one corner, with a laptop on it, and a small bookshelf next to it. in another corner was a huge stuffed bear the size of jasper with two bigger bookshelves next to it. my bed was black wood with white sheets and a blue pillow on each side. my dresser was in the corner across from my reading area thing. i crawled into my bed and edward crawled in next to me. he hummed my lullaby until i fell asleep. the next day we started school. i wore my favorite denim shorts with my converse high tops and my favorite flowy tank top with a blue cami under it. i did my hair in a french braid headband across my crown. i walked downstairs and made myself a sandwhich.

"you look good!" alice said surprised.

"wow. thank you soooo much for that boost to my self esteem." i said sarcastically. she rolled her eyes.

"i didnt mean it like that and you know it. ive just never seen you in something like this before." she said.

"cuz i can wear stuff like this here. i cant wear it in forks. i like my legs thank you. although, edward seems to want to carry me everywhere, so maybe he would get something from it. but god knows i would find a way to move. be it drag myself or walk on my hands." i said. i finished getting ready.

"were taking the bus." emmett said. i nodded and took them to the public bus stop. we boarded and when we got off, i saw the worst people in school. jen, melissa and elena. im screwed!
