Ch 1 Flashback
~ Flashback ~
"Bella , I don't want you to come with me." He spoke the words coldly and precisely with his cold eyes watching my face , judging me, waiting as I absorbed them and searched for what he was really saying.
A pause was followed as I repeated the words over and over in my head, sifting through them to find their meaning.
"You…don't …want…me?" The words sounded foreign in my ears as I heard them placed in that order. I was confused.
"No."
~ End of flashback ~
My head snapped up, someone had called my name. Angela stood at my right by my elbow, kneeling on the floor.
"Bella , are you okay?" I heard her say.
I slowly turned my head to face her. Her dark brown eyes were etched with concern. It was clear that this was not the first time she had called my name. I heard a strange noise that sounded like a growl. I touched my face and some moisture was on my finger. I was surprised to find it there. I quickly realized that I was crying and was therefore the reason Angela was here. I nodded indicating I was okay and it was really quite the opposite. I was thinking of him .In too much agony to speak I wiped the remaining tears from my face and took the tissue from Angela's outstretched hand. I was currently in the cafeteria at school staring at the food I haven't even touched yet, all the steam from the food, indicating it was hot, was long since gone.
"Angela, you can sit back down, I'll be fine." I told her that more to reassure her , a fake smile telling her I was fine when I was breaking inside all over again.
I didn't know how long it was since he had left and time had no meaning to me anymore. I just went to woke up, went to school, did my homework, cooked dinner and went to sleep. I didn't talk to Charlie anymore and dinner went along in complete silence. Only the sounds of chewing , drinking, and silverware scraping plates filled those awkward moments.
