The white lights were painfully bright, shining and shimmering with glee and delight. I blinked back from their brightness and I heard a gasp. "Bella? Oh my God Bella you're awake, " My mother sat next to me and gripped my hand. She started to sob, "I thought I had lost you, oh I thought I'd lost you."
I glanced at her and began to notice my surroundings. I was lying on a bed, with tubes protruding from my arms, there was a persistent beeping sound and an extremely uncomfortable pillow propped me up. I was in a hospital. But the question was...why?
A young doctor walked in. He was handsome to say the least, tall, ginger and attractive. He smiled a 'panty dropping smile' my sister would say. "Hello Bella, I'm Dr. Bruhow. How are you feeling sweetheart."
I opened my mouth, "...". Nothing came out. I tried again and again. I glanced over to my mom and the doctor sighed.
"I was worried about this Mrs. Swan. May I speak to you out in the hall?"
I looked at my mom and reached out for her. She patted my hand, "I'll be right back sweetie."
I stared after her and the doctor and tried to yell for them...but no sound came out, I had no sound other than my breath.
I couldn't speak.

On December 7th, 2004 a horrific car crash took the lives of three high school students and injured two others. Three teenagers had been partying late that night and decided it was time to drive home. A young man and his little sister were driving home from their grandparents' house. The drunk teenagers collided into the young man's car. Two of the teenagers were killed on impact. The first teenager was thrown from the car, the second was killed from the impact of the airbag. The driver of the truck was rendered unconscious when his head hit the steering wheel. The young man was crushed by the impact of the truck and his sister slammed into the dashboard and crushed her windpipe and vocal cords. Police raced the seen. The driver and the young girl were rushed to the hospital and the other three were taken to the morgue.
I was that young girl. I was 15, awoken from a two month comma to find that my vocal cords had been crushed in the accident and I would never speak again. My brother, Jacob, had died. My family tired to act indifferent about the accident...accepting their wrecked daughter and loosing their prize son.
Jacob was 20 when the accident occurred. He was home for Christmas Break from Harvard. He had been the top of his class. He had recently proposed to his girlfriend of three years, the wedding was set for March. His fiancé blamed me for the accident. I had asked to go visit our Grandparents. It was my fault we were out. She hated me, she used to scream at me and yell. It was always one sided since I couldn't yell back. My parents never stood up for me either. They secretly blamed me too.
It has been 7 years. I thought I would be used to not being able to talk. But it was so hard. I couldn't answer questions in class, couldn't laugh, couldn't make sarcastic remarks, and couldn't sing to a song on the radio. My world was of silence. I was in college now and some things have changed but my voice...still is missing.

The wind ripped my hair and I tugged down my hat and clutched my books closer to my body. I kept my head down and pushed my legs harder as I headed for my dorm room. I climbed up the three flights of stairs and finally reached my hall, Daniel's Hall. I reached dorm 303 and opened the door and slipped inside.
I threw off my shoes and sat down on my bed releasing out a quite sigh.
"Hullo Bella."
I jumped up and put my hand to my heart. My roommate Alice sat on her bed hiding in the shadows.
She hopped of the bed and smiled at my theatrics, "Sorry didn't mean to frighten ya."
Alicewas the first person I met at college. She introduced herself and was always kind to me. She never judged me for my lack of speech. She was always good at filling the silence anyways.
"So,"Alicestarted, "I decided that tonight we are going clubbing!"
I cocked an eyebrow and shook my head turning around and moving my books off my bed.
"Oh come one Bella! It will be a great way for you to meet people! You don't have to talk, just dance. Rose and I will be your wing women and we will talk for you!" She was beaming, "And I have already picked out our outfits! Come on Bella! You can't say no to me!" She smirked.
Alicealways found it funny when she played on words like, you can't say no to me or speak or forever hold your peace. She was an awesome friend.
I shook my head at her and crossed my arms. Over the years we have created our own sign language. Heres the run down:
Crossed arms-no
Raised eyebrow-Your an idiot
Rolling eyes-Your still an idiot
Thumbs up-Yes or its a go
Tongue sticking out- Your an ass hole
Middle finger- Universal sign that everyone knows
Pat three times on top of head- I'm ok
Horizontal kill motion- Help me!
We had first created these signs when I had moved in. It was a simple way to communicate. For Alice and Rose though...they didn't always follow the communication rules.
...Three hours later...
I know that everyone says that girl time is so much fun but I hate girl time. It consists of being barbied up and stuck into too small of clothing and walking on killer shoes.
"Bells stop squirming, " muttered Rose as she poked me in the eye for the third time tonight with the maskera wand.
Alicewatched and snickered. She and Rose were pros at clubbing and dressing up.
They were both tall, long legged and beautiful...I was none.
Rose was gorgeous. She had the trifecta...boobs, legs and tall skinny blonde.
Alicewas perfect. Short, peppy, and perfectly charming in a pixy way.
Then there is me..the mute. Short, dull and mute. A killer trifecta that could hook any guy. Ya I'm also an optimist if I forgot to mention that.
Rose shoved me in front of the mirror to asses, "Lets see...perfect." We all looked like triplet hookers. We wore tiny dresses with 3 inch high heels...too much makeup and pushup at our reflection, "Alright ladies...let go fishing!"

I wasn't surprised when the bouncer let us in. He took one look at Rose and Alice and let us pass, I just slipped in behind them. The music was loud and hundreds of people gyrated and hopped around trying to dance.
Oh ya baby...welcome to LA.
Alice and Rose were beaming, "Oh look over there!" "Oh he's hot." "He is totally wanting some of this." "You call that dancing?" "Oh look bitch fight!"
I moved out of the way and sat down at the bar. The bar tender looked at me and smiled, "What can I get for ya?" I opened my mouth to answer and blushed. Alice and Rose must have noticed my absence because they appeared behind me, "We will take three 'Sex on the Beach" please?"
I glanced up gratefully at them, I was always embarrassed when people asked me questions and I couldn't answer them. The bar tender winked at them and then said, "Coming right up ladies."
Alicerested her hand on my shoulder, "Hey, we have always got your back Jack. We bitches be crazy." I smiled at her and nodded my head. Ya they got my back.
SO what do you think? Next chapter I am going to have them still clubbing but I hope you liked it!
Let me know what you think and also any ideas or suggestions
Until Next Time
