Please Don't Leave Me (Edward Cullen Love Story)
Chapter 1
I was living with my dad in Forks Washington. He was very sick and dying of cancer. And it killed me inside to know that. My sister would be living with us just to help out my dad while i'm at school. I was already enrolled in Forks High school, junior year. So today would be my first day. "Celestia get up for school." "Ok Maria."
I got up, got dressed, brushed my teeth and did my hair. I grabbed my cell and went to school. I was a little nervous knowing it was my first day. After I arrived at the school, I went to the office for my daily schedule. "Hi I'm Celestia Storm, I'm new here." "Oh yes, here is your schedule." The lady behind the desk gave it to me and I took it. "Thank you."
As I walked out of the office I looked at my schedule. 1. Algebra 2. Health 3. English 4. Gym 5. Lunch 6. History 7. Art 8. Biology.I was walking the hall until this kid saw me and spoke. "Hi I'm Mike, Mike Newton, you must be new here." He held out his hand and I shook it. "Yeah, I'm Celestia Storm but you can just call me Celeste. Hey do you know where Algebra is?" "Yeah, just follow me; we have all the same classes together."
So I followed him into Algebra and he took a seat. Since the spot next to him was already taken, I sat in the only empty seat left in the class which was in the back of the room next to this girl with black pixie like hair. I took my seat but with everything going on like me being a new student and my dad dying, I wasn't a talker. "Hi you must be new here, i'm Alice Cullen." "Yeah, i'm Celestia Storm, but you can call me Celeste."
"So Celeste, how do you like it here so far?" "Ummm...it's ok I mean this is my first class on my first day. So i'll probably know by the end of the day. But chances are, I won't be staying long though." "Ohh, well hey, we should talk more after school. Do you have Skype?" "Umm yeah." "Great we should talk!" "Sure, I guess." Class dragged on and minutes passed before the bell rang. So I got up and followed Mike to my next class which was Health.
I sat alone and doodled in my notebook until I heard a chair get pulled out from the table. I looked next to me to see this cute guy sit down next to me. I looked away and continued to draw until the teacher walked in. "Ok class, today we will be talking about diseases and what causes them. First of all, just raise your hand if you know somebody who has cancer." I raised my hand and spoke, tears forming in my eyes. "Umm excuse me, can I be excused from this class, I'm not feeling too well." "I'm sorry to hear that Celestia. Ummm can someone please take Celestia to the nurses office?" Mike rose then. "I will." He came, helped me up and walked me to the nurses office.
The tears started to come out then. "Celeste, what's wrong?" "I don't want to talk about it." Then we made it and Mike went back. "Hello dear, how can I help you?" "I feel a little dizzy. The teacher mentioned cancer and I had to leave. It's hard for me to hear or talk about that because my dad is...is...dying from cancer." I burst out crying. "I'm so sorry, I'll contact your English teacher, try to get a little rest. I'll tell her know you won't be there for class today." "Ok, thank you." Then I drifted to sleep. Almost 2 hours pass before I woke up. "It's lunch time, you should try to go and get something to eat." "Ok thank you." I left and went to lunch, sitting by myself until this girl Alice from Algebra sat next to me.
"Hey Celeste, you ok?" "I'm fine." Then the announcements came on. "Celestia Storm please report to the office immediately, I repeat Celestia Storm please report to the office immediately; thank you." I got up and went to the office. "Hi I'm Celestia Storm, is something wrong?" "Your older sister Maria called and just told me to tell you that she is with your dad in the hospital." "Oh my god is he ok?" "She didn't say." I burst out crying fearing the worst. "Why don't you go up to the hospital, I'll call your teachers." "Thank you." I walked out of the office and called my sister"
"Maria is everything ok?" "No, dad is barely holding on." "Ok i'll be their shortly." I hung up and cried my eyes out whispering to myself. "Please don't die, hang in there, please dad." I went into the lunchroom and saw Alice with what looked like her brothers and sister. So I walked up and tapped on her shoulder, then they all looked at me. "Celeste, I'm so glad you're back!" I shake my head crying even more. "What's wrong?" "I have to go, Skype me." "Ok but I was wondering, can I meet your dad tomorrow?" Tears fell faster. "I should go." Then I left, going out to my car and driving to the hospital.
I went into my dads room and saw Maria there. I went in and sat down next to her. We talked for a while until I heard beeping go to a dead line. Doctors ran into the room doing everything they could to bring him back while me and Maria just left the room. A few minutes pass and a doctor walks up to us shaking his head. "We did everything we possibly could but he didn't pull through. I am so sorry for the loss of your father." Me and Maria burst out crying. A few minutes pass before we stop. "Celestia, since you're under 18, you're going to move in with me up in Phoenix." I just nodded my head. "We'll leave in a week." "Ok."
We then left the hospital going to our cars and driving home. After we arrived, we just went inside and Maria was the first to speak. "Lets give him a proper burial and have a funeral. It'll just be you and I." Eventually three days pass and we had the funeral. After that I stayed home from school the next three days to try and calm down. I was very heart broken and depressed at the loss of my father. I would never leave my room, not even to eat. I was never hungry and the thought of losing my father was very painful. Specially to know that in life, you only get one father and mother but in my case I only got one father. And now that he's gone, Maria is all I have left. But eventually Maria came in. "Celestia, please go to school today today, we leave tomorrow." "Ok."
It was hard, every time i went to sleep, I would hear those words over and over and over again. "He didn't pull through." So i decided not to sleep. I got up, got dressed, and went out to my car to drive to school. On my way to school though, I saw headlights of a car coming my way. I tried to swerve to avoid the collision but it didn't work. The car still crashed into mine. My air bag deployed to try and prevent serious injuries and damage to my head. As I tried to move, I couldn't. My head was throbbing in pain and my leg and arm hurt. My right arm was fine so I got out my cell and dialed 911. "Hello 911 what's your emergency?" I got into a car accident and I can't move, you have to help me." "Ok ma'm, can I please have your name?" "Celestia Storm." "Ok Celestia, where are you, do you know where you are at?" "Near Forks high school. Please help me." "Ok Celeste, stay calm, medical units are on their way now." "Thank you, please hurry."
A few minutes pass and medical units arrive. One guy came over to me then. "Ok ma'm, i'm going to try and pull you out on the count of three ok?" "Ok" "One...two...three." He started to pull me out and I screamed out in agony and pain. "OWWWWWW please please stop I beg of you please stop." Then he did for a minute. "Ma'm, i'm going to try and pull you out again. You're almost out, just a little bit more. On the count of three, i'm going to try and pull you out the rest of the way, are you ready?" I just nodded. "One...two...three." He starts pulling me out again and I scream out once again. "OWWWWWWWWWWWWW." Eventually I was out and I started to cry from the pain I was in. I got lifted onto a stretcher and put in the back of an ambulance. On the ride to the hospital I passed out from the pain.
Time went by and when I woke up again, I was in a hospital bed. A doctor then walked in the room. "Hi, I will be your doctor; i'm Dr. Cullen You have suffered a gash on your forehead and arm. They were both stitched and bandaged up as well. And about your leg, it's broken. We had to set the bone and put it in a cast. The cast has to be on for about a month." "Oh, well thank you. Can I go back to school?" "Of course, but put this boot on so you can walk around." "Thank you." "Would you like a lift?" "No thank you, i'm gonna call my sister." And that's what I did. "Hello?" "Hey Maria, can you give me a lift to the school from the hospital?" "Sure but what happened?" "I'll explain later." "Ok." Then we hung up and I went outside to wait for her to arrive. When she did, I got in and she drove to Forks high school.
When we got there, I went to lunch because judging by the time, gym was over and this is what I had. I went to lunch and walked over to Mikes table to tap on his shoulder. "Hey Mike can I talk to you for a minute?" As soon as he got up he noticed my leg, arm and forehead. "What the hell happened to you Celeste?" "I'll explain in the hallway." So we both went out of the lunchroom and into the hall. "So what did you want to talk to me about?" "Today's my last day here at Forks high." "What why?" "I'm moving in with my older sister upon Phoenix. Please don't make me explain why though." "I won't." Then I walked back in and I saw the Cullen's staring at me. "Oh by the way Celeste, what happened?" "I got into a car accident on the way here this morning." "Oh, well I hope you feel better." "Thanks." "Also I hope you like your new school." "I'm going to miss all my friends that I made. Not many but still." "You should eat something." "Mike i'm not hungry. I have a lot on my mind."
In that moment I walked outside to get some air. After a few minutes pass, I start to walk inside until I bump into somebody. "Oh my god, i'm so sorry." "It's fine." As I stood up to walk inside she saw my face. "Celeste?" "Yeah it's me Alice." "What happened to you?" Then I saw the guy who was in health class with me walk up behind Alice. 'Alice can me and her have some time to talk?" "Sure." Then she went back inside and he came closer to me. "Hi, i'm Edward Cullen." "Oh, nice to meet you, i'm Celestia Storm, but you can just call me Celeste." "What a beautiful name for a beautiful girl." I started to feel hot in the face. "If you don't mind me asking, why did you leave health before?" "Ummmm...I can't stand talking about cancer." "Why not?" "I just...I have to go." "Wait did I say something?"
He tried to speak but I was already heading to History. Since there weren't many students in the class yet, I went up to the teacher. "Yes Celestia, how can I help you?" I whispered. "I thought you should know that this will be my last day here." "Come here." I followed her out into the hallway where she spoke again. "Why Celestia?" "Well..." I started tearing up. "About 5-6 days ago, my father passed away from c-c-cancer." I started crying my eyes out now. "Since im under 18, i'm moving with my older sister up in Phoenix. I came to school this morning but I got into a car accident. I got stitches on my forehead and my left arm along with a broken leg. I came to school to see my friends one last time." "We'll miss you, but I hope you enjoy your new school and feel better." "Thanks, here you can sign my cast." She got a marker and signed.
As we went back in the classroom she spoke. "Celestia, I hope everything turns out ok. You can take a seat next to Emmett Cullen. Emmett, please raise your hand." He raised his hand and I sat down next to him. I continued to wipe away the tears that kept coming out like a river. I saw a hand reached out towards me holding tissues. I looked and it was from Emmett. "Thanks." "I'm Emmett Cullen by the way." "Hi im Celestia Storm but just call me Celeste." "So what happened to you?" "I was in a car accident on my way to school this morning. Would you like to sign my cast?" "Sure!" I hand him a marker and he signs. "By the way, this is Jasper Hale." "Hi, you can just call me Celeste." I figured that he already heard me introduce myself when I was talking with Emmett, so I didn't say it again. "Hello, it's nice to meet you. I hope you feel better." "Thanks, here, you can sign my cast as well." I handed him a sharpie and he signed.
Before I knew it, the bell rung and I was on my way to Art. I was told to sit next to this girl who had long wavy blonde hair and looked like a model in my opinion; so I did. She kept to herself and didn't talk. "Ok class, you can draw whatever you want today." So I decided to draw whatever came to mind. It was a picture of me my dad and my older sister. "Wow you're an amazing drawer!" "Oh thanks." "I'm Rosalie Hale by the way, but you can just call me Rose." "Oh, it's nice to meet you. I'm Celestia Storm but please call me Celeste."
"So do you like to draw?" "Sometimes." "You should meet my family tomorrow after school!" "Oh ummm...I don't know." "Alice and I will pick you up tomorrow! Is that ok with you?" "I guess so..." The bell rang and the teacher came over to look at my drawing. "Fantastic drawing Celestia!" "Wow thank you!" I started to get up when Rosalie noticed the bandage on my forehead and cast. I handed her a marker and she signed the cast. "What happened to you Celeste?" "Car accident this morning." 'Well feel better!" "Thank you." "So what class do you have next?" "Bio; my favorite subject!" "Oh, well have fun!"
Before I left I told the teacher that i'm transferring schools and that I wouldn't be back. But i'll try to visit. Then I left and headed towards Bio. When I entered the class, Edwards head shot up then saw my leg and forehead. As I went to sit down I stayed quiet. But of course, he spoke up. "Why is there something white on your arm?" Then what looked like the white bandage from my forehead was on the table. So I covered my stitches and raised the hand not in use. "Yes Celestia, what's the problem?" "I have a cut on my forehead that has to stay covered; but the bandage fell off and it won't stay on." "Ok please go down to the nurse."
So I did as she said. I went down to the nurse and got a new bandage put on. When that was done, I left and went back to Bio. "Hey, are you ok?" "Yeah." I winced and put my fingers near the bandage and he stared. "Umm...numbness is probably wearing off." Then he looked confused. "Remember when I wasn't in class this morning?" "Yeah, why?" "Well, I was in a car accident on my way to school." "What, are you ok?" "Yeah, i'm fine, just a little sore." "So what kind of injuries did you suffer?" "Well I needed stitches on my forehead and in my arm and as for my leg...well that was broken but is now in a cast." "So that's what the white thing on your arm is, a bandage." "Yeah, same thing with my head." "Well I hope you feel better." "Thanks. Would you like to sign my cast?" "Sure." I handed him a marker and he signed.
The bell rung and while walking out of Bio, I bumped into Alice. "Celeste? Oh my god, where were you earlier? I missed you." "Umm the hospital." "What? What happened?" "Car accident." "Oh my god are you ok?" "I'm fine, just stitches and a cast for a broken leg." I handed her a marker and she signed my cast. "Can I take you home?" "Well, i'm gonna need a ride! Plus you can stay for a while and meet my older sister." "And your dad to!" I went silent holding back tears that flooded my eyes. We went out to Alice's car and got in as she drove to my house.
"Is something wrong Celeste?" "What? No i'm sorry it's just that I get emotional when i'm asked about my dad." "Why?" I took a deep breath and released it slowly to try and stay calm. "About a week ago, my passed away from cancer." I was able to stay calm enough that the tears didn't come out. "I'm so sorry, I didn't know." "No it's fine. It's just a sensitive topic to my sister and I." Eventually we made it back to my house. "Ummm...can I still come in?" "Of course you can Alice!" When we got out of the car, I took her hand and pulled it and she laughed. It was hard and cold not to mention pale but I didn't care. "Hey Celeste, you gonna tell me what happened?" "Yes but later. This is my friend Alice. Alice, this is my older sister Maria." "Nice to meet you Alice!" "Likewise! Hey ummm, can Celeste come over my house and meet my family?" "Yes, go have fun Celeste but be back by five." "Ok Maria!"
I real quickly gave her a hug, and then we left. On the way to her house I had to say something. "Hey Alice, can I trust you with a secret?" "Yes you can, what's up?" "Well I know I only met him like once or twice but I think I have a crush on Edward!"
