The Rejected Imprint, The Accepted Mate. (Cover Is Made By My Bestie)

A2

Few days later

I haven't spoken to Jake since Bella's birthday, instead I've been hanging out with pack.
"Hey, Lexi, hand me the celery and carrots please." Emily, Sam's fiance asked. Handing her what she needed I went back to doing my homework just as Sam and the others burst into the kitchen.
"Lexi, we need to get you back to your house. Bella's missing." Sighing I packed up my things and climbed into Paul's truck as Jared and Sam shifted and took off into the woods.
"The Cullen's left town." Paul started. "I know you were friends with a few of them so I'm sorry."
"I guess I should have seen this coming after Rose called me practically sobbing. Saying that Edward was an ass and how she hated that Carlisle allows him to run the family."
"Really!?"
Nodding my head I groaned as I saw Charlie, Billy, Harry and Jacob outside my house along with other police officers. Looking at Paul he nodded and turned off his truck and we stepped out. Well he stepped, I jumped #shortlife!
Walking up to the group Charlie spun on me and glared.
"Where the hell have you been" he snapped.
"With-"
"You know what I don't care! You should have been here watching after your sister! God you are so useless!" He yelled bringing his hand up. I flinched back waiting for the hit but when I opened my eyes I saw Paul gripping his arm and glaring at him.
"Listen here Chief Sean, I don't care if she's your daughter or that you're the Chief of police, you ever raise your hand at her again and I will end you." He snapped releasing Charlie's arm. "It is NOT Lexi's job to look after someone who is nearly three years older than her, it is not her job to cook for you, clean up after you, do your laundry, buy your groceries and it is definitely not her job to be yours and Bella's punching bag! Sam, Jared and I have all seen the bruises that Bella leaves on her but we never did anything because she asked us not too. But I'll be damned if I sit here and let this continue!" By this point Paul was shaking so bad I thought he'd shift.
"Paul," I whispered putting my hand on his arm, "Paul, come on he's not worth it."
"Go pack a couple bags, you're going to be staying with Sam and Emily for awhile." He stated keeping his glare on my dad.
Looking up at Charlie I saw, shock, terror, humiliation and anger. Sighing I walked past him and was about to enter the house when someone grabbed my arm. Turning around I saw Jacob looking at me conflicted.
"What?" I asked irritated.
"So this is what you do now!? Drugs? I mean I know I hurt your feelings but seriously!"
"Damn it Jacob! Not everything is about you! Okay? I have been friends with for awhile, since I moved here actually, this isn't to get back at you or to hurt you! This is about me and about how I'm not safe in this house! But then again you've never believed that your precious Isabella could do anything wrong, right? That everything I've told is a lie? Well guess what it's not. And one day you'll realize that I've been telling you the truth. And when that day comes don't bother coming to me because from this day forward, you mean nothing to me!" I snapped jerking my arm away and going up to my room to pack.
Packing up almost all my clothes, bathroom necessities, school supplies and all my electronics and make up I texted Paul to come help me take my things down to his truck.
"Lexi," looking up from my phone I saw Charlie. "I'm so-"
"Don't. Don't give me some fake ass apology, okay. Cause you're not sorry. Neither is Renee or Isabella. But answer me this, why? Why do you and everyone else in this family hate me huh? What have I ever done to any of you to deserve so much pain?" Looking down at the floor Charlie sighed.
"It's not about what you did." He whispered just as Paul came in. "It's about what you remind us of."
"What are talking about?" I groaned. "Stop talking in riddles and just say it!"
"I had an affair!" He finally snapped looking up at me. "After I found out Renee had been cheating on me I lost it. I left her and Bella for a few weeks. I was with Billy the entire time but, I met a woman down on La Push. She was beautiful, and kind. I ended up sleeping with her a few times. But I realized that I still loved Renee even after everything she did. So I came back. And everything was finally falling into place, we were in couples therapy and were finally happy buy nine months later a man showed up. Calming that the bundle he was carrying was my kid. That the woman, Marianne, the I had an affair with had been pregnant. She never told me because she had planned to raise you by herself with her son. But she died giving birth to you. Her ex husband was the only one who knew the truth. He was going to take you, raise like his own but the courts wouldn't allow it. So social services brought you here. Renee and I tried to raise you together but every time she looked at you, it reminded her that she couldn't have anymore kids and it made her angry."
"Then why did she take me with her!" I snapped as the tears rolled down my cheeks. "When she had no right to me, why did you allow her to take me away, especially if she hated me so fucking much!?"
"Because I couldn't raise you!"
"No you just didn't want to raise me! So instead you forced me to live a life of pain and abuse because you blamed me, an innocent child, for ruining your marriage!" I cried. "Get out! JUST GET OUT!" I screamed as Paul pulled me into his arms as I sobbed.
Sobbing into Paul's chest as he whispered sweet nothings in my ear I couldn't help but wonder, who was my mother....
