"Breaking the Abusive Silence" by Ms. Jessica Cullen

Posted by



I had nothing else to do but focus on the pain that was coursing through my body.
Tomorrow would be better, I tried to convince myself, I mean, school wasn't as bad as this was.

Bella Swan experiences high school as a social outcast. Each and every day is an immense struggle as she is constantly made the butt of everybody’s jokes. But what the town doesn’t know is that, behind closed doors, Bella is also an outcast in her own home. Because hidden beneath long sleeved blouses and heavy makeup is a collage of deep coloured bruises and cuts, all curtesy of her alcoholic father Charlie.

But Bella is strong. She accepts that her situation is what it is and deals with it the best she can (e.g. by reading her favorite books). Yet one day, fate means well with the high school girl and sends her help at a time when she wasn't even looking for some and in a form that she would never have expected: Edward Cullen, popular Forks High quarterback, model student (he has a 4.0 GPA), and Bella's long-time tormenter. While he used to make the school laugh at Bella's expense, he suddenly seems to have some kind of interest in her and her situation. And when he sees the bruises covering her body, he realizes that this mousey girl is going through so much more than just school bullying.

If any of you have ever read any of Ms. Jessica Cullen's smut-filled one shots or one of her multi-chapter stories, you will know that her writing draws you in from the very first paragraph. Breaking The Abusive Silence is absolutely no exception to that, with story twists that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat and make you read for hours on end. And the fact that the author chose to tell her story mostly from Bella's POV makes reading it so much more intense. That said, please be aware that this fanfiction contains mature themes like domestic violence and lemons. It's angsty and definitely nothing for the faint-hearted!

Breaking the Abusive Silence consists of 31 chapters and 107,029 words. The story is rated MA for domestic violence, lemons, and profanities.
