So, it has been a very bad year for me. As most of you know if you read these, my grandmother was sick, and she has passed away. I have been under a lot of stress lately and this hasn't really been on my mind to much. I am very sorry so here is a short chapter to hold you off. I will probably update again this week since it is spring break at my school. So, here is Chapter three.

Chapter 3

BPOV

I woke from a knock at the door. I shot up in bed, taking in my surroundings. I was really here, it wasn't a dream. I looked over at the door to see a shot girl with pixie black hair.

"Hi, you must be Bella, I'm Alice", she said excitedly, "If you want a ride to school today I am leaving in around 45 minutes." And with that, she left.

I looked at the clock to see that it was seven o'clock. School started at eight. I crawled out of the comfortable bed and made my way to my bathroom. No, the bathroom. I can't let myself get attached to this place, especially with Charlie coming home in just five days. I shook the thought from my head; I couldn't get ready for school while thinking of that. I followed my regular routine, brush teeth, comb hair, but then I had a problem with the next step – get dressed. I wasn't exactly a "fashionista" and the clothes Alice had bought me were very hard for me to piece together.

I must have been standing in the closet very deep in thought because I jumped when I heard someone behind me.

"Here, wear this." I turned to see Alice holding jeans and a blue blouse.

"Thank you, you saved me." She just smiled and turned away walking out the door. When she was almost all the way out she said, "30 minutes!"

I quickly got dressed and was about to make my way downstairs when realization dawned on me. My backpack was at Charlie's house. I quickly turned to find Alice but she must've gone back to her room. I wasn't sure which room she was in so I knocked on the first room I saw.

"Well hello there," a tall, muscular man appeared out of the door, "You must be Bella, and I'm Emmett."

"I was just looking for Alice, I'm sorry."

"No worries," he smiled at me, "next door down."

I just nodded and turned away. I quickly made my way over to Alice's room and knocked on the door.

"Come in," she yelled. I opened the door slowly and made my way inside. Her room was very colorful, with different colors everywhere I turned. I quickly found her by her bed.

"Um, I have my, um, backpack at my dad's house and I need it for school," I said lamely. I don't know if Carlisle told her why I was in the hospital. I knew Esme knew, but I wasn't sure about Alice and Emmett. If they didn't, was I supposed to tell them? I didn't really know them that well and I wasn't ready to talk about it that much.

"Oh! Yeah, we can stop there on the way," she said, interrupting my thoughts, "I'm just about to head downstairs for breakfast," she said, walking towards me, "Would you like anything? I'm just going to have a bowl of cereal,"

"No, thank you. I don't usually eat breakfast."

"Ok then, well I'll just eat and then we can go." And with that she went downstairs to eat her breakfast.

Twenty minutes later, Alice, Emmett, and I were getting in the car on our way to my house. To be honest, I was scared to go into that place. My backpack was on the floor in my not-so-secret hideout. By the time we pulled into my driveway, I was about to pass up. Looking up at the place that was my home once upon a time, it now looked dark and uninviting.

"Would you like me to come in with you?" Alice asked. All I could do was nod, I didn't even think about it.

As I walked up to the place I never wanted to see again, I saw pictures of me and my dad and had to look at the floor.

"I don't know why you were in the hospital. Neither does Emmett. Our dad told us that it was up to you what we knew. If you ever want to talk about it, you can talk to me or Emmett, we won't tell anybody. I just thought you should know," she said, staring at me. I realized she was waiting for a reaction.

"Thank you," I whispered as we stopped in front of the door. I let out a breath and opened it.

I was shocked at the room's appearance. I hadn't thought about this when I allowed Alice to come with me. Things were thrown around, glass was broken, and there were blood stains everywhere. From behind me I heard Alice gasp. I quickly ran into the room, holding my breath, and grabbed my backpack and phone which was lying next to it, and sprinted out. Alice looked at me in astonishment as I slammed the door shut and walked towards the front door.

I heard Alice moving behind me.

"Do you want to talk about it?" she asked. I knew she was just trying to be kind but all I could do was shake my head. If I said anything at that moment, I would have bursted out crying. We silently made our way back to the car to go to school.

I know it's really short but I need to go to sleep. I'll try to update this week since it's spring break at my school. Thank you for dealing with my crazy schedule and waiting while I deal with everything.
