December

It's been a month since Bella told Theresa about her seeing Edward. She hasn't seen much of the girl since then. She was mostly hanging out with Jacob. Theresa would tag along once in a while, but she just felt like she was third wheeling around the two friends.

"We're going to La Push this Saturday, wanna come with?" Theresa heard a voice ask her, looking up from the lunch table, the same lunch table the Cullen's used to sit at and in the same seat that Jasper used to sit in, to see Angela standing there, a smile prominent on her face.

"Angela!" Jessica yelled, stopping Theresa before she could even answer the girl, "You know Tess couldn't fit into one of my wet suits!" She said with a laugh as Mike and Eric snickered from their table.

Ever since Jasper left the two were hitting on her, but once Theresa entirely shut Mike down, both Mike and Eric wanted nothing to do with her, going along with Jessica's constant bullying. The snide remarks, the fat jokes, the ex-boyfriend jokes, it was never ending.

"I'll pass," Theresa said, glaring at Jessica before turning her attention to Angela, "Thanks anyway Angela" She said with a smile before picking up her lunch tray and walking away from the table, but was stopped by a foot suddenly tripping her, causing her to fall onto the cafeteria floor, lunch tray still in hands.

Theresa looked up, teenagers surrounding her. She took a moment before starting to stand up, noticing the red stain in her shirt from the pasta.

"How's the food?" Jessica asked as Theresa stood up fully, glaring at her, "Fattie?"

That word. Once that word left Jessica's mouth all bets were off. Theresa only saw red.

One second the two girls were both standing up, Jessica arms crossed over her chest, Theresa fists balled up next to her sides, and the next Jessica was on the floor, Theresa on top of her, punching her face, yelling profanities at her.

"Bitch!" Theresa yelled, blood beginning to fly from Jessica's face.

Bella was shocked, to say the least, when she entered the cafeteria. Jessica screaming bloody murder as Theresa sat on top of her, laying punch after punch to her face, blood flying everywhere, but Theresa wouldn't, couldn't, stop.

All the loss, heartbreak, hurt, she had felt in the past year she was taking out on Jessica's face.

"Tess!" Bella yelled, gripping the girl by her arm and taking her away from Jessica, who laid on the floor holding her face.

"This isn't you" Bella said, trying to get Theresa to look her in the eyes, "Theresa!" Bella yelled, causing the girl to stop struggling against her and look her in the eyes, "This isn't you hunny" Bella said sweetly, holding the girl she considered her sister, face in her hand.

"I miss him" Theresa broke down, sobbing as she fell to the floor, Bella sitting next to her and holding her as the principal ran into the cafeteria and over to Jessica, "I know Tess, I know."

Theresa sat on the hospital bed in the emergency room.

The ambulance had been called to help clean up Jessica's face, but when they saw Theresa on the floor sobbing with Bella holding her, they decided to sedate the girl and take her to get checked.

"You are not admitting her to the mental ward!" Theresa heard Charlie yell as she laid in the bed, hooked up to machines.

"She has multiple fresh cuts, she obviously has been self harming for a while and she just had a mental breakdown that hurt another person, she needs to be admitted, this isn't me asking, but telling" The doctor said as the curtain opened, revealing Charlie.

Theresa watched as his face dropped when he looked at her fists, "Shit" He said, looking back up at Theresa before continuing to speak, "You really did a number on her, huh?" Charlie asked the girl as she brought her hands up to her face, looking at her bloody and bruised knuckles, "I guess so" She said as Charlie sighed before sitting down on the chair next to her bed.

"How long?" She asked Charlie, noticing that he was having a hard time trying to tell her what's about to happen, "I don't know" He said as the curtain was pulled back once again and two male nurses walked into the room.

"We can't have ten minutes?" Charlie asked one of the nurses as he frowned and shook his head, "I'm sorry sir, hospital policy" He said as the other nurse began to unhook Theresa from the machines and moved the bed to start wheeling. Theresa's eyes widened, realization setting in, "Charlie?" The young girl asked, calling out for the man.

Charlie stood up and took her hand in his, not letting go, even when they began wheeling her out of the room, "It's okay" He kept telling Theresa, trying to soothe her.

"Sir, you have to let go now" The nurse said, as they were about to enter the psych ward.

Charlie nodded at him before looking back at Theresa, who was currently looking at him with tears streaming down her face, scared, "I'll be back for you, I promise" Charlie said as Theresa nodded.

He let go of her hand and Theresa was wheeled into the psych ward, sitting up in her bed, trying to see Charlie through the window on the swinging doors, trying to catch one more glance at the most stable thing in her life at the moment, her godfather.
