Chapter 1. Escaping Dwelling Days and Scathing Nights
A tear fell silently on my shirt combining with the many other wet blotches. I composed myself quickly, I knew Brandon would be home soon. My legs were shaky as I attempted to stand up. The validation that I held Brandon’s child — our child — in my womb still laid on the floor blinking mockingly at me, positive. I stifled a sob and wiped away my tears and hoped that the temporary wet imprints they left behind would fade soon. One thing was very clear, I had to leave.
My eyes paced the bedroom quickly, I gathered all that I could in one suitcase and hid it safely underneath the bed. With the creak of the door and wooden floor Brandon was home. I scrubbed my face once more and washed it with water hoping that would get rid of any tears.
I went slowly down the stairs to greet what had become my worst nightmare. Brandon was staggering besotted towards the couch.
“ W- Where’s my dinner?!” He inquired. Being that he was drunk probably should of took away some of the fury from his voice that made me scourge, but it was all the same.
“ I- I’m sorry. I must have forgot.” I muttered, my voice shaky, weak, and cracking.
He grunted, “ Make it now Bella!” he yelled.
I did as told, not because I wanted to because I knew this would be the last time I would have to withstand this. The last time I’d be bruised or treated like some.. maid.
After I’d finish making some spaghetti for Brandon I set in on the table that was by the television.
He took one bite and threw the plate to the floor.
“ That’s absolutely disgusting,” He spat, “ Clean it up.” He ordered.
I bit my quivering bottom lip and cleaned up the mess.
It’ll all be over soon, I thought but, with another thought I knew I’d be having a child that was also his.
Brandon didn’t care about me and he wouldn’t care about his baby. Leaving would be the best thing, for both of us.
After cleaning up the mess of Brandon I glanced at him soundlessly asleep. He wasn’t the man I fell in love with. He changed. I fought to give him chances to change back, to be the Brandon I loved but, it never happened. He forced me to do this.
I’d gathered my belongings from underneath the bed and silently crept out the house. I was in my car, the engine roared to life and I quickly looked back threw the window to see if the noise had disrupted Brandon’s slumber, it didn’t.
Now that I’d come so far I had to think about what I’d do, where I’d go, but I knew my questions were already answered.
Forks.
After calling the nearest airport here in New York City — JFK — I got a last minute flight to Seattle.
The moment I’d been dreading seem to come to quickly. I needed to call Charlie. What could I say? I didn’t want to tell him the truth, but I didn’t want lie — I couldn’t lie, literally.
I also knew that being at Charlie’s wasn’t the safest place if Brandon decided to come looking for me. If he did, the truth would come out then, so this seem like a now, later, or never situation. I pick never and if that wasn’t an option, later.
I’d reached the airport and gotten out of my truck. I’ll miss my truck it was my one memory of home I’d had over the years.
I was in the safe compartment of the plane. I sighed. Relieved that I would no longer have to live each day of fear. Somehow I knew deep down I still would but, I didn’t let that get to me know I just relaxed myself for once...
I’d woken up to the flight attendant’s voice.
“ Ladies and Gentleman we have landed.”
I looked outside, the drastic change in weather was startling. I knew it would only be worst once I reached Forks.
Once I was off the plan and awaiting a taxi I’d called for I dialed Charlie’s number. He picked up oh to quickly.
“ Bells?” Charlie’s voice greeted me and it was a comforting remembrance of home.
“ Yeah, Ch- Dad its me.” I said, my voice sounded normal, sad nor happy.
“ Nice to hear from you in a year or so.” Charlie said his voice saddened.
“ I know and I’m sorry about that.” I said remorsefully.
“ Hm..” was all he replied.
“ Dad.. I’m in Seattle.”
“ What? Your visiting?” Charlie inquired.
“ Not exactly... I’m moving here, alone.” I said emphasizing on ‘alone’ so he’d no that meant no...
Brandon.
“ Oh...” He said in acknowledgment, “ Well I’ll pick you up from the airport.” Charlie said.
I loved that Charlie didn’t hover me and asked me continuos questions like I knew Renee, my mother, would.
“ No need. I called a cab. I’m going to the nearest apartment, then I’ll stop by if you haven’t gone to work yet.”
“ Bella. I won’t go to work if you’re coming. I haven’t seen you in over a year I’m sure they’ll understand. Besides, I’m Chief.” Charlie said.
“ Well o-okay. I’ll be there soon.”
After getting into the cab I was driven to the nearest apartment closest to Forks, which meant close to Charlie. I handed a twenty dollar bill to the driver.
“ Here’s your change miss.” He said quickly as I began exiting the cab.
I smiled, “ Keep it. I’m going to need a ride somewhere else.”
His eyes widened, “ Thanks!”
“ Not a problem. Just please, wait here.”
I entered the building.
“ Hello.” a voice greeted me.
I followed my gaze to where the voice had came from until I’d reached a woman who looked in her mid 40's. Her hair reached her neck, it was brown with hints of gray which added on a few more years to what I’d thought she was. Her eyes were dark-brown and her skin was the color of honey.
“ Hi, I’m Bella Swan.”
“ I’m Lucy. I’m the landlord.”
“ Oh. Well, Lucy I was wondering if there’s an available rooms I could possibly live in.”
“ Of course. You have to make a security deposit, first month’s rent, and last month’s rent...”
“ Oh...” I said, knowing it would take me a little while to do that.
“ You look like a fine young girl. How’s about you get settled in and we can handled all that business later.” She said with a smile that make her skin wrinkle.
Lucy led me to my room unlocking the doors and then handing the keys to me.
“ This is yours now.” She said and left down the hall.
“ Thanks!” I yelled to Lucy but, once I looked she was gone.
I got settled as Lucy said. Maybe things could be alright after all.

Chapter 6: Return
My eyes opened gradually and light picked under my eyelids. My vision was blurred but, soon I made out the scenery of a familiar spiky-haired girl to be...
“ Alice?!” I shrieked.
“ Bella, oh Bella I’ve missed you!” Alice shrieked, her familiar ringing bell voice rang through my ears. Hers arms wrapped around me into a hug but, I couldn’t return it, I was frozen, in shock and disbelief that, Alice, my best friend who’d moved away ages ago... was back.
“ Bella, Bella?” Alice called my name urgently and with annoyance.
“ H- Huh?” I replied dazedly, still in shock.
“ A- Aren’t you happy to see me?” She inquired.
“ Y- Yes. Of course but, Alice. You- You left so long ago, I can’t believe it. Your back.” I said enthusiastically, letting the truth sink in.
“ I know...” She said letting her eyes settle on the floor for a mere second but, then they were on me again, “ but I’m here. To stay now, Bella I’m sorry for leaving you. I mean, look at you! Your pregnant, I missed everything...” She babbled and took a short pause for breath, “How do you know Edward, your pregnant. Are you pregnant with... Edward?!”
“ No!” Edward yelled with no pause. For some odd reason, the statement stabbed me like a dagger but, I chose mainly to ignore it as the nothingness it was. “ How do you know Bella?”
“ I- Al- It’s a long story both of you... Well, how do you know each other?”
“ Brother and sister.” they said simultaneously and my mouth literally dropped open.
“ Br- Brother.. Alice! How come you never told me you had a brother?!” I inquired, slightly angry she would keep something like that from me, her best friend.
“ Well...” she started but, Edward cut her off.
“ Again, how do you know Alice?” He inquired.
“ Alice was my best friend, until she moved away.” I said, staring at her while I said the last part, it hurt. It hurt when Alice left me, I felt like I had no one, another thing which led me to Brandon, I needed someone.
“ Alice, can I speak to you in my room, privately.” Edward stressed the word ‘privately’ indicating, I wasn’t allowed into the conversation but, I didn’t mind. As they walked into Edward’s room and shut the door, I took the moment to digest everything that had just happened. Suddenly, a pain formed in my stomach and I instantly ran to find the bathroom. Once I’d found it my head flung over the toilet, throwing up unstoppably. In minutes I could feel hands holding up my hair and whispering words that were inaudible to my ears.
Eventually, I was lying in Edward’s, comfortable, bed. Alice, nor Edward, never left my side. Every few minutes I was pulled in and out of Alice’s blabbing, I was busy thinking about everything. My life was hectic, drama-filled and crazed. Everywhere I turned, it was something new, a problem but, in this case a solution, Alice was a solution to some sort of happiness in my life, my closest friend. I noticed but, pushed the thought away, Edward was becoming a solution as well, with him I was more composed, surely I should repay him for everything he’s done.
“... please?” Alice inquired with a soft squeak.
“ Wh- what?”
“ Can you please tell me what’s been going on in your life! I mean, I left for, 5 years. I come back and your like.. this!” She shrieked, I took it she was referring to my pregnancy.
I bit my lower lip ponderously, everything was silent until Edward spoke.
“ I’ll leave you two alone.” He said and did as spoken.
“ Bella. Bella, what happened?” Alice said reading my expression.
“ Brandon. That’s what happened.”
So I told Alice, everything. I wondered within bits and pieces of my story why she would shudder but, I took it was because she felt sorry for me. Eventually, tears sprawled down both of our cheeks at my sorrowful past.
“ Bella, I’m so sorry.” Alice cried pulling me into an embrace, “ I shouldn’t have left you to do that all alone, to handle that. I would’ve helped you...”
“ It’s okay Alice, I’m okay.” I said with a genuine smile repeating my mantra within my thoughts, I’m okay.
“ I know Bella. I’m happy Brandon’s probably in jail right now. I’ll help you, my whole family will help you out with the baby Bella.”
“ Thanks. I think it’ll like that, especially from it’s godmother.”
“ What?!” Alice shrieked, “ ME?”
I giggled, “ Who better?” She shrugged, questioning my question herself.
“Well, even more good news which is partially why I can back to inform you, I’m getting married!!!”
“ O- Oh, Alice your joking.”
“ Nope.” she sang and held up her hand to show the beautiful ring balancing on her small finger. It was stunning, a diamond within the center that shined while the light glinted on it.
“ Wow...” I breathed.
“ I know! I love it.” She said with admiration.
“ So, where is he?” I inquired, anxious to meet the man that stole Alice’s heart.
“ Well, right now he’s still home in California, yes that’s where I fled to, organizing while I’m here to invite and most importantly declare you, my bridesmaid and Jasper is happy with Edward being Maid of Honor.” Alice said excitedly, I instantly knew Jasper was the man that had stolen Alice’s heart, just by the way she said his name with love.
“ A- Alice, that’s. That’s amazing.” I couldn’t find any other words.”
“ Yea, I can’t wait Bella. I love Jasper, with all my heart.”
I smiled, “ I believe you.”
