Abused Chapter 2, a twilight fanfic

Chapter 2: Alyssa Lies

Previously:

I walked up to the door, unlocked it, then opened the door. We walked inside. Charlie was standing there at the end of the hallway. Glaring. At me. What do I do now?

"Isabella Marie Swan, why the hell did I get a call from your school asking why you weren't in class? And who the hell are these people? Where's Annalie? Out with some boy, I assume?" He asked angrily. I was furious. No one, not even Charlie, can get away with talking like that about Annie.

"Annie is in the hospital with a broken leg, fractured arm, and completely covered in bruises. And don't you dare talk about her in such a manner!" I seethed. He can't talk that way! Especially with Emmett and Rosalie right behind me! What he did next made me even madder. He rolled his eyes.

"By the way, we're moving out. And when I go off to college, I'm taking Annie with me, but you will most likely be in jail by then, since we both stated reports against you." I smirked slightly. His eyes blazed with a fury unseen to man. Yeah, I had never seen him this mad.

"You didn't." He said slowly, dangerously. I flinched slightly, my eyes flitting back to Emmett and Rosalie. They were staring on in shock, with wide eyes and their mouths dropped.

"Yes, I did. I came here with Emmett and Rosalie to pack Annie's and my bags." I stated. He was frozen in shock and anger. I slowly walked past him up the stairs and had our bags packed within 15 minutes in my haste. I gave one bag to Emmett, Annie's bag, and slung mine over my shoulder. With that, we quickly darted downstairs and out of the house, speeding back to the hospital. Dr. Cullen was there, waiting outside the front doors.

"How did it go?" He asked nervously.

"Fine." I responded, then walked to Annie's room. I waited for her to get better, so we could leave and move in to the Cullen's home. I was excited and eager. We were finally going to be happy. I hope.

3 Days Later

"Well, we're all set to go! Let's just get you dressed and we'll be out of here, okay?" Carlisle said as he walked into Annie's room, smiling. We smiled in return. After helping Annie put clothes on, we were finally out of the hospital after 30 minutes. The rest of the family was at the house waiting for us.

"Here we are, ladies." Carlisle stated as we pulled into the driveway in front of the most beautiful house I had ever seen. I saw Annie gaping as well.

"It's beautiful." I said, smiling.

"My wife, Esme, designed it. I think you'll like her." He replied with a grin. We grabbed our bags and walked into the house, Carlisle carrying Annie. In front of us, the entire family stood, most with happy and excited expressions. Edward being the exception. We still hadn't come to better terms.

A woman with caramel colored hair stepped forward. "Hello, dears! I'm Esme, the mother of this house. I hope you enjoy living with us. If you ever need anything, feel free to ask." She said, taking us each in light hugs, as if we were cracked glass that would break at her touch easily.

"Thank you, Esme. We appreciate it. We will go unpack and all." I said smiling at her. I took Annie in my arms and laid her on the couch. I gave her a stern look, my look that said, "If you don't listen to what I say, you will be in big trouble."

"Annie, you sit here and don't move, or else I'll destroy your favorite pair of shoes, shirts, shorts, pants, dresses, and jewelry. You will have to wear rags when I'm through with those clothes if you move from that spot, understand?" I said, narrowing my eyes. She gulped, and nodded. I grinned. "Good. Brb!" I said cheerfully, grabbing both our bags and running as fast as I could upstairs and unpacked our things quickly. After an hour, I was finally finished. I walked downstairs to see Annie watching TV. As soon as she saw me, her eyes lit up.

"Hey, Bella? Wanna play some tunes?" She asked. I grinned. Music was our escape. We did it together, wrote our own music, songs, everything.

"Of course. Hold on, let me get the guitars." I said, dashing upstairs, grabbing each of our guitars and ran back downstairs. I handed hers to her and we thought of a song.

"Let's do… Alyssa Lies! I love that song!" She said excitedly. I nodded, and began the first strums.

Alyssa Lies by Jason Michael Carroll

My little girl met a new friend just the other day

On the playground at school

Between the tires and the swing

But she came home with tear filled eyes

And she said to me Daddy,

Alyssa Lies

Well I just brushed it off at first

Cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt

Or the things she had seen

I wasn't ready when I you can tell me

And she said

Alyssa lies, to the classroom

Alyssa lies everyday at school

Alyssa lies to the teachers

As she tries to cover every bruise

My little girl laid her head down

That night to go to sleep

As I stepped out the room I heard her say a prayer so soft and sweet

God bless my mom and my dad

And my new friend Alyssa

I know she needs you bad

Cause Alyssa lies to the classroom

Alyssa lies everyday at school

Alyssa lies to the teachers

As she tries to cover every bruise

I had the worst night of sleep in years

As I tried to think of a way to calm her fears

I knew exactly what I had to do

But when we got to school I heard the news

My little girl asked me why everyone looked so sad

The lump in my throat grew bigger with every question that she asked

Until I felt a tear roll down my face

And I told her that Alyssa wouldn't be at school today

Cause she doesn't lie in the classroom

She doesn't lie anymore at school

Alyssa lies with Jesus

Because there's nothing anyone would do

Tears filled my eyes

As my little girl asked me why

Alyssa lies

Oh Daddy

Oh Daddy, tell me why

Alyssa lies

We played the final chords and smiled at each other.

"Okay, now how about… Who I Am?" I suggested. She nodded, and we strummed together the chords.

Who I Am by Jessica Andrews

If I live to be a hundred
And never see the seven wonders
That'll be alright
If I don't make it to the big leagues
If I never win a Grammy
I'm gonna be just fine
Cause I know exactly who I am

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done my momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

So when I make a big mistake
And when I fall flat on my face
I know I'll be alright
Should my tender heart be broken
I will cry those teardrops knowing
I will be just fine
Cause nothing changes who I am

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done my momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

I'm a saint and I'm a sinner
I'm a loser; I'm a winner
I am steady and unstable
I'm young, but I am able

"Okay, my turn. Umm… how about… Change? That's a good one." She said. I nodded and we began.

Change by Taylor Swift

And it's a sad picture
The final blow hits you
Somebody else gets
What you wanted again
You know it's all the same
Another time and place
Repeating history
And you're getting sick of it

But I believe in whatever you do
And I'll do anything to see it through

Because these things will change
Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up
To hold us back
Will fall down
It's a revolution
The time will come for us to finally win
We'll sing hallelujah
We'll sing hallelujah, oh

So we've been outnumbered
Raided and now cornered
It's hard to fight
When the fight ain't fair

We're getting stronger now
From things they never found
They might be bigger
But we're faster and never scared

You can walk away
Say we don't need this
But there's something in your eyes
Says we can beat this

'Cause these things will change
Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up
To hold us back
Will fall down
It's a revolution
The time will come for us to finally win
We'll sing hallelujah
We'll sing hallelujah, oh

Tonight we'll stand and get off our knees
Fight for what we've worked for
All these years
The battle was long
It was the fight of our lives
But we'll stand up, champions tonight

It was the night things changed
Can you see it now?
The walls that they put up
To hold us back
Fell down
It's a revolution
Throw your hands up
'Cause we never gave in
We'll sing hallelujah
We sang hallelujah
Hallelujah

"Alright, one more, then that's enough for today. And I believe it is my turn. How about Young and Beautiful?" I said. We grinned maniacally. We both loved this song. We started the chords fluidly.

Young and Beautiful by Carrie Underwood

While were young and beautiful
Kiss me like you mean it
Treat me like I'm special
Cover me with sweetness
Cause the time will come
when were not so young and beautiful

While were young and beautiful
Livin' free and easy
Here without a worry
Dancin' in our bare feet
Cause when the summers done
We might not be so young and beautiful

Its a crazy ride, baby you and I
are keepin' our sweet love alive tonight
While were young and beautiful

While were young and beautiful
Well party down on main street
Wearing next to nothin'
Feelin' every heartbeat
Having fun
While were still young and beautiful

Its a crazy ride, baby you and I
are keepin' our sweet love alive tonight
While were young and beautiful

Beautiful, beautiful young and beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful young and beautiful

Its a crazy ride, baby you and I
are keepin' our sweet love alive tonight
While were young and beautiful

Oh, so beautiful

While we're young and beautiful
cover me with sweetness

While we're young and beautiful
Kiss me like you mean it
Like you mean it
Like you mean it
Like you mean it
Like you do

Ohhhh, yeah

So beautiful

We finished the song. There was clapping from behind us. We turned to see the Cullen's( all of them, even Edward) staring at us in shock.

"We knew Bella was talented, but not that you both were!" Alice said shocked. We laughed.

"It was something we did in our spare time. Write songs, create some tunes, hang out, have fun. Remember when we wrote that song, Annie? And why we wrote that?" I said, wiggling my eye brows. She burst out laughing.

"Yeah! You were hilarious! She came home all giggly and goofy 'cause some dude spiked her punch at a party and it kinda put itself together. But she was so funny! She was all tipsy, singing loudly, laughing a lot, more fun, and she blurts out the most random things in the world! We so gotta do that again! Well, you do. You're more fun when you're like that. More free. It was nice. And funny. To me anyways. Not for you the next morning though." She said, laughing between every few words. I grimaced.

"Yeah, laugh it up all you want, but when you are sitting with your head in a toilet, puking your guts up, all dizzy, have a raging headache, and can't eat anything, you won't be laughing any more. I will." I said smirking. She rolled her eyes.

"You seriously got drunk?" Emmett asked. I looked at him and shrugged.

"Yeah. Not by choice, but I have to admit, it was kind of fun… until the next morning. That kinda ruined my buzz." I said sadly, shaking my head. Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, and even Edward suddenly burst out laughing. Carlisle and Esme didn't though. I could tell living here would be awesome.
