BPOV

Ugh. I thought to myself. I hit the off button on my alarm insted of my snooze button. Today was going to suck. I already new it.

"Ya up squirt?" Emmett asked tiredly.

"No" I replied grumply. I didnt want to be awake. I wanted about 5 more hours and I would be much better.

"Come on lets go its your first day of high school, and my first day of senior year!" Emmett said with a bit more enthusasim. I could here him already on the phone to his girlfriend. I hadn't met her yet but I imagine I would. I was hoping to meet her today but I had to work. When I got up and got dressed I went down stairs being careful not to wake my mom and dad up. I tripped over the emptie beer cans and Emmett caught me before I woke them up.

"Thanks" I whispered back to him. I knew it would only mean trouble if I woke them up. I would get in some serious trouble if Emmett wasn't home. He always protected me when he could.. But sometimes he had to be at work when I was home. And thats when the trouble always was. I looked at me latest bruise. It wasn't pretty. Emmett was getting me ceral for breakfast and I hadn't noticed he came back in the dining room.

"What the hell is that Bella!" He said a little to loud.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP DOWN THERE!" My dads voice called.

"Sorry dad" Emmett said rolling his eyes.

"We WILL talk about that in the car" he hissed. I wasn't happy about that. I knew there would be more questions about how why who what did I do. And just to many. Emmett can't keep fighting with dad for me.

Emmett gently nudged me "Eat up or were going to be late" he said kindly. But I could see he was putting on a great effort to stay calm.

" I love you Em" I said hoping it would calm him down. It only seemed to pain him more. I finished my food quickly and ran up stairs to get my stuff while he did the dishes.

I came back down and he grabbed his keys and we got in his truck.

"Alright Squirt, lemme see the bruise" He told me.

"Em please..."

"No, this isnt a democracy its an Emmettocrocy" He frowned but I smiled. He always said that when I didnt want to do something he wanted me to. I sighed and lifted my shirt up just past my belly button. "What the hell happened?!"

"I had just finished my homework and went downstairs..." I paused.

"Continue" He said, though he didn't want to know anymore.

"..And mom and dad were already drinking.. Actually they were already drunk. And I was getting some juice and it ended up being the last of the orange juice" I said looking down shamefully.

"Don't even do that Bella." His authority voice warned me, "you did nothing wrong so don't be upset with yourself."

"Well nothing happened entill later.. When dad wanted it for his vodka" I spat the words out. "He knew I had drank it all and he was mad... he called me downstairs and ended up shoving me into the counter." I said sadly. I then pulled my hair up and showed Emmett the bruise right below my ear.

"HE HIT YOU AGAIN!?" Emmett said getting more upset.

"Yes.." I said quietly.

"When was this?"

"Last night.."

"Ugh. While I was out with Rosalie." He said disgusted with hiself.

"Em dont be like that. You have to have a life too." I said hopeing it wouldn't get upset with himself.

"Do you work tonight?" he asked.

"Yeah, at the dinner. I get off at 9 do you think you could pick me up... If not I can walk dont worry" I said with a smile.

"Nah, I'll be there." he said just as we arrived at school. He had just gotten this new truck and it was big. I am sure I'm gunna end up killing myself trying to get out of it one day. It was easy today. No homework just getting to know your teachers and fire wrouts and all that stuff. I walked to the dinner, it was only a five minute walk away from the school. I said hi to Mike and went to go get my stuff to start work.
