Little Bella

Chapter 6

I jerked awake to the sound of my bedroom door slamming open. My mattress (and me) were covered in blood, which scared me. Groaning, I heaved my aching body up and there was Dalton, towering over me with an evil aura radiating from him.
"Grab your bag," he said, without much emotion. I did what he said and grabbed my bag, putting it on my back. He then dragged me out of my room with one arm (again, ugh) and down the stairs. When he got to the front door (after a painfully long time) he threw me on the patio. I felt my entire body spin through the air as everything blurred around me.
"Get up and go to your bus stop before someone sees," ordered Dalton before I even touched the marble patio.

And when I did land, it was on my head, with a sickening CRAAACK to it. I lay there on my back, winded. Then I gingerly touched my hand to my throbbing head, wincing as I saw the blood that came off on it. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Dalton's car speeding off into the distance. After a while, I blinked, and suddenly a man's face was in front of mine.
"Oh God. Esme!" the man yelled. Carlisle. Esme suddenly appeared in the corner of my peripheral vision and I sighed in relief.
"Head..." I mumbled.

Suddenly I was lifted off the ground and was moving so fast that everything blurred around me. Carlisle opened the car door and sat with me in the back while Esme sped off, driving in a panic.
"Now, Bella," Carlisle started. "I need you to tell me what happened and you need to be honest."
"Dalton..." I whimpered. What was I doing? The person I was speaking of was gonna kill me.
"What did he do?" Carlisle probed gently.
"We're here!" Esme interrupted loudly as the car came to a stop.

The car door opened and Carlisle carried me out. He handed me to Esme and rushed off to find a stretcher. Then everything went wrong. I started coughing out blood.
"BELLA!" Esme's voice seemed distant, though she was carrying me. "CARLISLE!!"
My vision blurred. I felt my body being laid back on a stretcher and my eyes drooped. Fighting it, I coughed again. More blood came out, and I was scared. Very scared. Was I gonna die? I kept coughing. I couldn't stop. The blood tasted metallic and horrible in my mouth. Then I fainted.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw Carlisle.
"Hello, Bella. You're awake," he smiled gently. "So, what happened?"
I pointed towards my throat.
"Thirsty?" Esme's voice cut in. I nodded. "I'll get you some water."
Then I looked at Carlisle and gently, so as not to hurt myself again, grabbed my arm and pulled it up.
"He grabs you by the arm," he guessed. I nodded, then pulled my hair up.
"He pulls your hair?" he was less sure of this. I shook my head. "He hits your head." I nodded.

Esme came in holding a cup and a jug. She poured water from the jug into the cup and handed it to me. I grinned at her gratefully and downed it in one gulp.
"He throws me a lot, and he punched me last night," I croaked.
"Why?" Carlisle looked shocked.
"Because I screamed," I replied sadly.
"What the hell?!" Esme burst out. I flinched.
"Sorry, darling. It slipped out," Esme frowned.
"He doesn't like me screaming or crying... OOWW!!" I yelled out.
"What hurts?" Carlisle was instantly in action.
"My head."
"I'll go get you some medicine," he said, hurrying out of the room.

I tried to move my hand and that was when I realised it had an IV in it. I frowned. Then I tried to pull it out, but was stopped by Esme.
"Don't, sweetie," she chided me gently.
Just then Carlisle walked in with a needle. He took my IV hand, connected the needle with the IV, and pushed down.
"There. all done," he smiled. I could only nod, as my eyelids drooped over my eyes and I fell into a deep sleep.
