This is a very rough story as I am writing without a beta and am unsure whether I will continue… If you have any sort of insight for me, please review or PM me. If you enjoy where this story is going and would like me to continue and/or are interested in being my beta, please contact me. Thank you LutinEnchante
I officially disclaim all mentioned characters, and I am sure that most of this plot has already been used at some point, so I claim no right to the plot either.
This takes place just after Edward left during New Moon, no Eclipse… you should be able to tell the rest…
Without further adieu…
Chapter 1 Charlie's PoV…(Wow, that's something you don't see every day…)I watched as she slowly stirred in her place on the couch. Thank god Sam was able to find her that deep in the woods. She was a mess; I knew that boy had something to do with this. She sighed and I visibly stiffened, the doctor was here earlier, good Dr. Cullen was nowhere to be found, transferred to LA they said… I bet that has something to do with why she was like this. "He's gone" that's what she said, that was it, he up and left her! I could kill him! What did he think he was doing, leaving her like this?! I never liked him anyway! But that wasn't important right now, Bella was coming to…
"Dad?" she sighed when she saw me. Her face was tear stained and muddy, she was a wreck, I don't know if I can handle this. But this is my baby, I have to take care of her, she's my little girl.
"Yea babe, I'm here" she looked around the living room, when she realized who was missing, her eyes began to tear. I don't know how to handle this, maybe I should call Renee… But she blinked the tears away, got up, and silently walked to her room. That was odd, maybe she's fine, maybe she'll get over it herself…
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Boy was I wrong! She wouldn't come out of her room, she wouldn't eat, she kept her door locked and wouldn't talk to me. I didn't want to upset her, but I was worried. I talked to Billy, turns out the Cullen's up and left the night we found Bella in the woods. I talked to Dr. Gerandy, he said she sounded catatonic; she may have to be hospitalized. I didn't want to have to do it, so I called Renee.
Renee took the next flight out here, thank god. When Bella figured out that we were trying to get her to move in with her mother, she took a fit. We decided to give her another chance. I hated seeing her so miserable.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
A few nights later, at the dinner table, I started to have chest pains.
"Bella," I whispered, "I have to go to the hospital…"
"Dad!" I heard her call, she sounded so far away, "Dad! You're going to be okay!"
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Billy's PoVI had Jake drive me to the hospital as soon as Bella called. She said Charlie collapsed and she called 911. She sounded terrified.
When we got to the Emergency Room, Bella was curled up in a chair, sobbing. They hadn't said anything about Charlie's condition yet. Now a legal adult, Bella was attempting to fill out paperwork. She was shaking so bad that you could hardly read her writing.
Jake rushed to her and she collapsed into his arms, sobs wracking through her delicate form. I rolled to her side and took the stack of papers from her. I filled out as much as I could while Jake consoled her.
"Isabella Swan?" a disheveled looking doctor came through the double doors.
"Yes?" she croaked, her voice barely audible, she stood, supported by Jake.
"I'm sorry, we did all we could" his eyes full of grief, everyone in Forks knew Charlie and how much he loved his daughter.
"No! No, no, no, no…"She sobbed, staining Jacob's shirt with her tears.
I was dumb struck. My best friend for so many years was gone… I saw that Jake was just as appalled as I.
The rest of the night was a blur. Funeral arrangements were made, papers were signed, and god knows what else happened…
Eventually, we ended up at Charlie's, now Bella's, house. Bella's friend Angela was there along with a few of Charlie's friends. Sue Clearwater brought food and we all ate in silence. There were many condolences passed to Bella, who sat silently in a corner. Everyone left slowly, tears in their eyes.
Jake and I decided to stay with Bella for the next few days. She refused to come back to La Push with us. Each day, she seemed to get a little better. She was eating, talking and sleeping again. But her sleep was never peaceful. Charlie had said that she was suffering from horrible nightmares and they hadn't stopped. I hoped that since she seemed somewhat content during the day that the dreams meant nothing.
Renee had come to Forks for the funeral. It was crowded in the tiny house with four people as no one dared touch Charlie's room. Jake and I decided that we would leave the two girls to themselves. We returned to La Push hoping that Bella would be better with her mother there.
If you actually got to this point by reading the chapter, I would like to give you a virtual hug! Even if you didn't like it, please review! Flames are accepted, please just remember that I am only human and I am trying my best! I'm sorry this chapter was so short, but I think it is a decent start!
For those of you who liked this story (if there are any) I'd like to pose a challenge to you!
This story's plotline is based on a song(which I don't own) and I'd like to see if anyone could figure out what song it is. At the end of each chapter, I will leave you with a single, random line from said song and maybe someone could figure out what song it is! Anyone who guesses will be made into a character in this story and will have my eternal love! I know, big whoop, right? But I thought it would be fun! One rule though: NO GOOGLE or any other internet help for that matter, please, lets keep it fair!
I will give you a little help: Despite my fondness for naming stories after RENT songs, this song is NOT from RENT(which I also don't own)
The lyric of this chapter is:
"Under the Stars and Stripes"
Thank you so much for reading and please clicky the pretty blue/purple button down there! And I would just like to say that this IS BellaxEdward, its just going to take some time for Edward to get back into the picture.
