"Lord please help me." I ask, as I stay hidden in my closet. I do this everyday since my mother died 3 years ago. Every since that dreadful day my dad has gotten drunk everyday. When he gets drunk he beats me. Most of the time I just stay in my closet until he finds me.

"Come out of your room NOW!" He screamed from down the hall.

I sat there; my heart was pounding like crazy. I can hear his footsteps grew louder and louder. My hart was pounded louder and louder every time I herd his footsteps coming closer.

Then all of the sudden my closet door flies open and there stands the devil himself; my drunken father.

SMACK! He hits me and pulls me out by my hair.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" I scream out in pain.

"Next time I tell you something you are going to listen to me, understand?" He says as he throws me against the wall. I shake my head yes not opening my mouth because I'm afraid that a scream is going to escape.

"Now get your worthless ass and start cleaning!" He yells and slaps me. "And I expect to have dinner on the table by the time I get home from work! I leave for work in 10 minutes and if your late for school then there is going to be a lot more where this comes from" He threatens as he slaps me again.

So I get up and run to the sink and start the dishes. I'm half way through the dishes when I star to cry. He comes up behind me jerks me around punches me in the face. I instantly fall to the ground.

"Get ready for school and stop crying you baby! I'm leaving for work."

I jump up and go to my room and get ready for school. I used the little bit of made I have to try to hide the black that's now forming.

Today I found out that in Bio. we have to do a project with your lab partners. I just happen to sit by Edward Cullen. The hottest, most popular guy in the school. Edward Cullen is the football captain and school player who doesn't even know I exist, even though we have been in the same classes since kindergarten.

My attention was brought back as Mr. Banner was giving us time to discuss your project.

Edward turns to me and gasps.

"Bella what happened to your eye?" He sounded like he acutely cared.

"Oh…I um…tripped down the stairs and hit my eye on the railing."

"Oh um ok." Oh shit he knows that I'm lying.

"So um should we met at your ho-"

"We can't do it at house!" I blurted out. Fuck I'm a dumb ass! Know he knows something is happening.

EPOV

I know something is going on that Bella is hiding.

My older brother lives next door to Bella and he says he hears a girl screaming all the time. And now Bella comes to school with a black eye. I think something is going on and I need to find out what.

"Bella what's going on? You come to school with a black eye and now you freak out on me because I suggested going over to your house to work on our project."

"Its nothing. I promise." I know she promised but I still can't believe her.

"Ok come to my house tomorrow at 5:30."

"Ok."

Then the bell rings and Bella runs out.

THE NEXT DAY

The next day Bella didn't show up for school. I was wondering if she was still coming over today.

At 6:00 I hear the doorbell and I see Esme get and answer the door. Everybody was sitting in the living room when we hear Esme cry out "OH MY GOD!"

We all take off running to the door. Me, Carlisle, Jasper, Alice, Emmett, and Rose ran to the front door. What I see in front of me just broke my heart. It was Bella. My beautiful Bella.
