I don't remember much, but how could you when you passed out on your new bedroom floor. I'm not sure how long I was out, just that when I was beginning to come around and wake up, all I could see was Edward's concerned face.
"What just happened?" I tried to remember...something about Charlie.
"Is Charlie okay?!" I asked, panic in my voice.
"Bella, that phone call had nothing to do with the horrible situations I know you are thinking of right now," he said as calmly as he could.
I could tell he was trying to calm me down too, before giving me some awful news. It wasn't working like he planned,
it only made me more nervous about what the news exactly was. I haven't even started school yet, and something has gone wrong. Bad sign. It seems as though i may never have a normal life, but with Edward, I don't think that a normal life is possible.
"So then what was the call about?" I asked nervously.
"Charlie had a heart attack, he was sent to the hospital about an hour ago," he said slowly, "Carlisle says he will be fine. He is taking care of him. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you as much as I did. I just thought, with you adapting to a new school, it might be easier if I told you later.. When you were ready."
What he was saying went through one ear and out the other. I don't understand why he kept this from me when he was my father and he was going to be okay. It's horrible of me to start jumping to conclusions, as I always do, but I couldn't help it. Is Edward covering for something I'm not supposed to know about? Did Charlie really have a heart attack, or was he just saying that so I'll think he is fine?
I couldn't think straight, and I wanted to ask Edward so many questions. Instead, I got up, slowly, and stood for a moment. After the walls were perfectly in place, I looked at him, and kissed him.
"Thank you," was all I could say. Without Edward, I dont know where I would be, if I'd even be living now. So I just have to stop imagining things and come to the reality that things will be okay with Edward and his family with me. And soon i'll be a part of that family.. very soon. I just needed to trust him, and know that things will be okay.
"What was that for?" He asked, though I felt there was a part of him that knew what that was for.
"Just cause i wanted to." I said, smiling.
"Well, while we are telling truths, there is something I have to tell you, in addition to the Charlie news." He said.
At this point, I felt nothing could be worse than some of the life threatening situations I've experienced before now.
But then again, anything is possible being with Edward.
"Well, what is it?" I asked, "I think it's bad luck to have two bad things happen in one day and I'm pretty sure I'm over my shock of the first one, so just hit me with it." I was trying to sound confident, like I could handle anything. Truth was, I was very nervous that this was something worse than Charlie in the hospital.
"Okay, how do I put this so you won't be upset," he thought for a moment, then said, "Charlie didn't go to the hospital because he had a heart attack, he was --" he paused, "Bella?"
Alright, this was too much. I wanted to know what had actually happened, but unfortunatly, I started hyperventilating. Right after Edward could calm me down he told me he had to leave and that he would tell me when he came back.
He left me again, curious and drawing the worst conclusions that could have possibly happened. Time felt like it was frozen,
and all i kept thinking was how my dad was, and if he was alive.
