TW: Mentions of eating disorders and self-harming, in this chapter. I write about it because I have these problems... not this specific eating disorder, I have Bulimia... but I have been working hard to get better, and to keep myself on track to health I tend to add it to my books. If this is too serious of a topic for you then skip it ill add markers for those who don't want to read it.
I woke up to Charlie shaking me he said "Aqua?" I groaned "Huh?" he said "Billy needs your help today, so you won't be going to school, he said to be there by 11." I questioned him "So sleep?" he chuckled "Yes go back to sleep, I set your alarm for 9." I hummed out "Thank you." and rolled back over falling asleep.
I woke up again, this time to my alarm blaring. I smashed the button before sitting up and rubbing my face to wake me up. I got in the shower before dressing in this.

I blow-dried and brushed my hair before doing a waterfall braid and doing a smokey eye for my makeup. Once I was ready I did my homework for 30 minutes before I left for Billy's house. Once I arrived I shut off my car and just kind of stared at the house. There was a black BMW parked right next to me, so I took a deep breath before grabbing my bag and heading inside. I walked into the house and saw Jake in the fridge. He looked at me before reaching back inside it and said "Hey Aqua." he handed me a soda he opened and I said "Hey Jake, thanks." he said "No problem. Dad wants you in the living room."
I said "Alright." he said "Hey, dad told me what happened... and... I'm sorry you're going through this." I said "If you were me... would you tell them?" he said, "Yeah, I'd want to know where I came from." I nodded and walked into the living room. Billy said, "Come sit." I said "Hey Billy." The man I assume is Alexander watched my every movement. I hugged Billy before sitting down on the chair. Alexander whispered "Aqualyn." I said "Hey." he said, "Aqualyn, what are you doing here?" I said "Here in Forks? Or here at Billy's?" he said, "Why aren't you with your mom and sister?" I said "My sister is at school, and I was excused today, Bella and I live with Charlie now." he looked concerned "Why? What happened to your mom?" I looked at Billy who grabbed my hand nodding at me so I said, "She is fine, Bella convinced her to let us move here because... well because I was gonna run away."
He said, "Why would you run away?" I said "Better question, why did you leave me with her? Why wasn't I told you are my actual father?" he stared at me before saying "I left you with her because at the time Renee and Charlie were on your birth certificate. it didn't get changed until you were 6 so I didn't have a choice, and I have no idea why she didn't tell you. How did you find out?" I said "I had my doctor in town acquire my birth certificate because mom was always so sketchy about it, he also found the DNA test. And to answer your first question, I was gonna run away, to get away from my mother. I couldn't live with her any longer, I can't handle it."
Billy said "Aqua, what did your mother do?" I looked down and said "I couldn't handle how she talked to me or about me. She constantly reminded me that I'm not as pretty as Bella, as small as Bella, as smart as Bella, as good as Bella. It made me do things I'm not proud of, and Dr. Cullen is helping me heal from it. But I couldn't live with her any longer. She blames me, and growing up I never knew why never knew what I did to make my parents hate me. But Charlie tolerates me a whole lot better than she ever did." Alex was speechless, Billy said "She did not. I can't believe Renee would blame HER child for HER cheating." I said, "Well she can't very well blame herself, only adults have accountability and she isn't one." I pulled the letter and pictures out and said "Honestly I probably never even got the gifts, if anyone got them it was probably Bella."
Alex grabbed my wrist "What is that?" I said "The letter Renee sent to you." he took the letter and said "Not that, I mean this." and flipped my wrist to show my scars. I yanked my wrist away and said "That's not important, what is important is that I am not going back to Renee's house, so I need to find a way to tell Charlie I know, without him shipping me back to Arizona. I turned to make sure the file was in my bag when Alex said "Aqualyn Ocean-Elizabeth!" I took a breath before turning to face the men. Alex looked kind of pissed but more concerned for me, so I sighed and said "My life wasn't easy, and I don't want to live, but here I am..." I heard the door open behind me but I kept talking "...Hurting myself in multiple ways gave me control over how I felt. Gave me control in that I chose what happened to me. I told you I did things I'm not proud of and that Dr. Cullen was helping me."
Billy said "Mulitple ways?" I said "Yeah... cutting... and I'm... I'm anorexic... other than that gross protein shake thing Dr. Cullen made me drink yesterday, I haven't eaten in weeks, and honestly, it's doing wonders for me, I'm almost down to Bella's size." Alex said, "Why didn't you tell me, or even Billy?" I said "Bella doesn't even know, and honestly I thought that if you knew I was damaged you wouldn't want anything to do with me, I'm not as good as my twin, and I'm probably not as good as your kids. It's why Charlie doesn't know, why I've been forging his signature." He said "One, I would always want you, you're my daughter, I love you, I've always loved you, from the day you were born. And two, hurting yourself is not ok, you are perfect just the way you are. Just because you and Bella are twins does not mean you have to be exactly alike. Even identical twins have their differences."
I finally glanced behind me and saw three hot guys standing behind me, I locked eyes with one of them and he froze. I said, "I uh, I have to go." I managed to get to the door when Billy said "Aqua!" I froze, my hand on the door. He said "You are not going anywhere yet. Sam take the boys outside, I'm almost done here." the three guys walked outside but one was still watching me. I walked back over to Billy and Alex, Billy said "Aqua this is serious, what you are doing could kill you." I said "I know. I just don't know why you guys care, no one ever cared about me before aside from Bella." Alex said, "Because your life matters, you matter. Yes, your mother cheated on Charlie with me, and yes I was also in the wrong because I knew and was friends with them. But that should not be blamed on you. You are the result of it, not the reason for it. Renee is wrong for making you think you're the problem."
Billy said, "You still have to tell them you know." I said "I know, I just... I don't know if he'll keep me and I don't want to go back to her." he grabbed my face in his hands and said, "You will not go back to her, I promise."
(Shifter's POV)
We had just walked into Billy's house when a young girl said she intentionally hurts herself, her father and Billy tried to talk sense into her. She looked back at us and I locked eyes with her, all of a sudden nothing mattered, not the pack, not my family, nothing but this beautiful woman standing in front of me. She said, "I uh, I have to go." she managed to get to the door when Billy said "Aqua!" she froze, her hand on the door. He said "You are not going anywhere yet. Sam take the boys outside, I'm almost done here." we walked outside but I kept my eyes on her, I said, "How could someone as beautiful as her, hurt themself?" Sam said, "You imprinted on her." I nodded he said "Be careful with her, she is already hurting emotionally if she is willing to hurt herself physically. I watched as she left, her father shortly after her.
