Bella P.O.V
I wake up to light knocking on my bedroom door and groan as my Mum gingerly enters.
"Hunny, breakfast is ready and we need to talk."
"Okay Mum, I'll be down in 5."
I groggily answer. She simply nods and leaves, shutting the door behind her. I huff and swing my legs over the bed, I strip of my PJ's and look at myself in the floor length mirror on my white wall.
A few small scars now scatter my body, but the singular large one centred my focus, travelling from just above my belly button diagonally down to my hip bone. I lightly brush my finger tips along the length of it and replay the memory in my head. My breathing becomes heavy as I think of the pain and the coldness.
"Bella!"
Mums shriek jolts me from the memory and I quickly throw on a large hoodie and some comfy shorts. No-one knows how these scars occurred and I plan to keep it that way and to keep hidden from the man who inflicted them.
Padding down the cold wooden stairs, I wander into the kitchen and sit opposite to Mum and Will at the table. I start on my breakfast as they just look at me.
"Yeah?"
I question testily with a mouthful of pancake.
"Ho do you feel about it now then?"
Mum asks, sort of pleadingly. I sigh and put my fork down, finishing my mouthful.
"At the end of the day, I want you to be happy Mum, and if Will here makes you that way then I'll accept the situation."
They both look at me smiling and i stop the urge to roll my eyes. I'm accepting it, that's all, doesn't mean I'm gonna like it and play happy families.
"Oh, thank you darling!"
Mum exclaims, getting up and pulling me into a hug.
"Yes, thank you Bella."
Will says, a little too happily in my opinion and he's sporting an evil looking grin, so I offer him a small and sarcastic smile over Mums shoulder.
"Now tonight is the engagement party. Do you have something dressy to wear?"
"No. I'm broke remember?"
"Okay well-"
Will reaches into his pocket and pulls out a pile of money, offering it to me.
"Here's about £100, go find a nice fancy dress."
"I'm not taking your money."
I state proudly.
"Bella! Don't be ungrateful. Anyway, its our money now."
She smiles at Will lovingly, making me throw up in my mouth a little. I do not like the sound of this at all.
"Fine."
I finally huff out.

After shopping for a couple of hours I finally made it home with a dress, shoes and new lipstick that I loved. The dress was a simple tight red body-con in red. Timelessly sexy yet sophisticated. My shoes are black high heels and the lipstick is a bright red to match the dress. I may of splashed out but its not my money so why not?
When I got in I went straight to my room as the house was full of people decorating and I needed to get ready as I only had an hour and a half to the party.
After my shower I straighten my long hair and apply small amount of mascara and highlighter and the new bright red lipstick. Pulling on my heels I start to hear the guests pour in and the music start to pump. I sigh and start to make my way downstairs.
Lord fucking save me now.
