Moving. I was really enjoying the move from Arizona to Washington, I was going to be living with my dad - Charlie. I never really spent much time with him anymore. I really didn't want to be the one stopped hanging out with Charlie, but he started dating again, I guess he wanted to be with his girlfriend a bit more before I started to go back for the summers. I looked around as I was hiding in my room from Phil. He was my mom's new husband. He was always trying to get me to stay here with my mom. I just had to keep refusing, but today was the day I was going to be leaving this hell of a place. Phil wasn't going to stop me - sure he scared me a lot, but I knew that this was something I couldn't handle. He was going to plan something and I was going to be the one that was going to get in trouble for it. I got out of my closet but there he was - just standing there. Phil walked over to me and grabbed me by the hair.
"Look here Isabella - If I think that you are doing something you aren't suppose to be doing. I will come up to Forks and drag you back here by your hair!" Phil hissed. "Oh and by the way just so your mother doesn't yell at me - You can keep your credit card as long as you do what I tell you." He added smirking that smirk that made me want to throw up.
I couldn't bring myself to say no to him. If I ever said no I would really be in serious trouble. I learned my lesson the last time I said no to him, let just say that he tends to hurt me whenever my mom isn't around me. I couldn't take it anymore - He was one of the reasons that I was moving to Forks. I couldn't stand to be hurt by him. He's the reason I liked to be called Bella - Whenever he calls me Isabella I know that I am in serious trouble. I looked at him and just nodded my head at what he was saying. Phil is the reason why I don't let guys touch me or date me. I'm scared that they will all turn out to hurt me like Phil has. I was the one that Phil wanted to get close to besides my mother. Finally, Phil released his hold on me and walked around my room. I didn't know what my mom saw in Phil but he was just a really awful creep. This guy was the worst person to be around - Not to mention he doesn't help with anything around the house. He believes that I should do everything when my mom is out shopping. Phil...I can't wait to get away from you.
"Just remember who owns you Isabella." He said looking into my eyes. "I will find out everything."
"C-Can you...j-just go?" I asked actually speaking to him.
"Why should I?" He laughed.
"I...I need to fi-finish packing." I whispered.
"Bella, darling" He said putting his arms on my shoulders. "You better hurry, you leave tomorrow."
"Please..." I whispered again.
"Sure Bella." He laughed walking away and slamming the door shut.
As soon as he left, I broke down crying. I couldn't take it anymore - every night ended the same. I would break down crying over everything that happened to me during the day. Every night flashbacks would happened over the time. Sometimes something around me sends me into a panic attack - Panic Attacks don't happen all the time but whenever I see something that reminds me of Phil and what he has done to me that day - my senses go into overload and I just start having a shortness of breath, I could feel my heart racing, my chest starts to give me pain and I start to shake. On bad days I start having upset an upset stomach that goes into me wanting to throw up. It's for my health that I am also moving away - I looked around and saw that everything that I wanted to take was already arriving at Charlie's house. I knew that all the small items that I wanted to bring with me so they didn't get ruined on the way to Forks. I sighed and knew that something like this was going to be what I wanted. I went to the bathroom to get rid of the feeling that Phil left on me when he grabbed me. I would keep scrubbing, but my mind would tell me that he was still touching me that I would never get rid of the longing touch. I looked around and knew that tomorrow at this time I would be home - Home in Forks with my dad.
"Bella?" My mom asked knocking on the door.
"Yeah mom?" I asked her as I was still in the shower.
"Is the door opened?"
"Yeah"
I heard the door open and soon after that it was closed. I knew my mom walked into the bathroom. I don't know what she was going to be talking about, but it had to be important that she couldn't say it outside the door. I was in the middle of rinsing the shampoo out of my hair as I heard her take a deep breathe. This was something that I couldn't really understand. Every time she had something major to say she would take a deep breathe and start thinking about something that would make me stay in some way. I knew she was going to try it again. I just couldn't stay here - Phil. He was the reason for everything that happens to me I want to get away from him. Actually be healthy for once, the marks are almost gone from where he beat me, but I still can't see why he would do this to me.
"Bella, my sweet loving Bella. I just can't let you go through with this move unless you are sure. I know that you don't like it when your holding me back away from Phil because you are only seventeen. Bella I wish that you would just stay here with me for a bit longer. Your father can wait - right? I mean he must really be liking his new wife." She started to say. "Please just think about it over night. If you want to stay we can call up Charlie and have him send your stuff back."
"No" I said.
"What?" She asked.
"No. Mom, I'm going to live with Charlie. I can...Can't stay here letting you be sad. You have to travel with Phil." I explained to her. "I don't want to keep you away from your husband. This is your guys time to be together. I'll be fine with Charlie and Sophie." I added trying to reassure her. This is the hardest thing she ever had to do. I guess - I mean she did just one day get up and leave Forks.
"Bella..." She started to say.
"Mom, I promise yo call, text, and email you every day if I have to do." I stopped her.
"Alright. Well it's getting late you better finish your shower and head to bed."
I heard the door close and I turned off the water. I wrapped the towel around my body and walked out of the shower. I walked to my room and closed the door locking it so I could have alone time. I looked around and saw that every thing was packed. I was now using spare pillows and blankets. I got pictures from Charlie of my new room. The house that he use to live in with my mother - well they sold that after he got married to Sophie. Even though I never met Sophie the way that she was able to help my dad move on was the best thing she could do for him. Moving into a bigger house with more bedrooms and bathrooms also help. I couldn't believe that my dad and Sophie also got me a gift. I couldn't wait to know what it is. Tomorrow was the start of the new Bella Swan!
~Nightmare~
I was walking around to my next class Biology. The class that was probably no where need the time I needed to get to class, but I didn't know my way to the class so I ended up walking into class late. Everyone started to laugh at me - I had no way to know what was wrong. I looked at my clothes and I could see that I was wearing some but when I looked up back to the class none of them had their faces were gone. I looked at them and backed up against the chalk board. I looked around they came closer and closer and closer.
"Please go away!" I whined.
"Bella...Bellllllllaaaaaaa." They would say to me as they came closer.
~End of Nightmare~
I sat up in my bed and looked out the window, the sun was shinning bright through the curtains. It was already morning and I knew that the time was going to be coming closer. I got out of my pjs and placed on some shorts and a tank top. I had a sweater packed in my carry on because I knew that the climate was going to change and Forks never got any sunshine. If Vampires exist - they would really go live in Forks because vampires hate the sunshine. The one thing I was grateful for was I met two friend online who lived in Forks. Their names were Rosalie Hale and Alice Cullen. They were both amazing people and super happy that I was going to be moving into Forks. They were foster sisters - Rosalie's Aunt Esme married Alice's foster father Carlisle. Rosalie had a twin brother Jasper who was dating Alice. Alice also had two older brothers. Edward who was dating Rosalie and Emmett who was single. To be honest I thought that something was going to happen - they sent me photos of their family together and they look like the happiest family on Earth.
"Bella! Come on you are going to be late to the Airport." My mom said.
I grabbed my two carry ons, and my three suitcases and one duffle bag. I looked around my old room and new that something was going to be great. This school year and summer was going to be amazing. I walked down the stairs and to the car. Phil was already somewhere else - his baseball team had to go practice somewhere that I couldn't care. I was just happy that he wasn't going to be showing up at the airport to say goodbye to me. I got into the car as my mom drove to the airport. She looked at me and I smiled back. Sometimes she wasn't the best mother but she tried her best. As long as I could remember Phil was the third guy that she dated and she was super happy to be dating a minor league baseball player. We arrived at the airport and I looked at my mom.
"Let me help you with your luggage." She said smiling.
We got out of the car and she walked with me as far as she could. I looked back at her and hugged her. This was the day that everything was going to change. Forks - the one place I thought I would never really go back to. I knew that if I stayed any longer in the house - Something else was going to happen. My mom looked at me and smiled.
"Just remember to go to a doctor to get your pills filled." She smiled and kissed my cheek.
"Mom I know." I nodded my head.
"Thank you Alice! Her dad was a doctor at the hospital. I could get him to sign the slips for my pills. The...ones that Alice doesn't know about." I thought.
"Be safe, call me when you land." She said hugging me.
I hugged her back and it was time for me to go through security to get to my gate. I still had an hour before my flight but I knew that I had to grab some food at one of the little stores here. I passed through with my two carry ons. I walked to the gate and knew that it wasn't going to straight to Forks because it's just a small town and there's no need for an airport. So I had to go to Seattle and then a plane to Port Angeles. My dad would meet me at Port Angeles for the ride back to Forks. I sighed as I knew it would be more than 6 hours for me to go to the house. I walked over to a shop and started to buy two energy drinks, one Starbucks coffee drink and a soda. As food I got a container of strawberries, 2 bags of chips and a slice of pizza with fries. I walked back to the waiting area for the plane. I knew that I was going to be super happy being away from Phil! I took out my phone and knew that I should text Alice and tell her that I was at the airport. I've talked to Alice and Rosalie on the phone for a while now. I knew that they would be in school so I thought that I should text them.
Bella: Hey Alice!
Alice: OMG! Hey Bella! I can't wait to see you here at Forks High School!
Bella: Me either Alice. You and Rose are basically the two people I actually know - Besides your brothers and your BF. I mean I don't know them I only their names.
Alice: So are you happy to be away from him?
Bella: Yeah.
Him. Alice knew everything about Phil - She even threaten to drive all the way from Forks to come here to take me away from the house. She knew why I couldn't tell anyone. He would just say that I was sick in the head and that everything never really happened. Even though I just a really big klutz. I had to quit a lot of sports because everything would show his markings.
Rose: Hey Bella! I heard that you are at the airport!
Bella: Yeah Rose. I mean this is really big!
Alice: Bella...What did he tell you before you left?
Bella: Alice, he was already gone this morning.
Rose: She's talking about yesterday Bella. She had a feeling that he said something to you.
Bella: ...
Alice: What did he say?
Bella: He said "Look here Isabella - If I think that you are doing something you aren't suppose to be doing. I will come up to Forks and drag you back here by your hair!" Look you guys nothing is going to happen here. I'm sure that he would never find out anything.
Rose: Bella, you know I really hope that we have classes with you.
Alice: Well...
Bella: Alice what did you do?
Alice: You have Art and Music with me, you have Biology and Italian with Emmett and Edward, History with Rose, English with Jasper, Lunch with all of us. Gym with Emmett and me and finally you have Math with Edward.
Bella: How did you know?
Rose: ALICE DID YOU GO DOWN TO THE OFFICE AND SNEAK ONTO THE COMPUTER?
Alice: Yeah.
Bella: Why?
Alice: I realllllllyyy wanted to know your classes and make sure they had everything.
Bella: I gotta go. They are asking us to turn off our phones.
Alice: Alright. See you when you get here!
Rose: Bye Bella!
I turned off my phone as the plane was going to be taking off. Four hours - That's how long it was going to take to get to Seattle. I closed my eyes as I wasn't going to eat my pizza right away. I knew that I had to eat it before it got cold. I didn't want to eat cold pizza - that would be gross and weird. I opened my eyes and after three minutes and started to eating my pizza. This was something that I was going to enjoy. I never really know what was going to happen. Hopefully I could meet Alice and her family soon. Alice and Rose are like the best people to ever talk to. I really love texting and calling them when I had time to. But there was something always weird about Alice. She would call me whenever I would get really hurt. It was like...she KNEW that I was hurt. I just couldn't place it. Alice was just...really predictable. Four hours later the plane landed in Seattle and I had to head to the area where I would get plane to go to Port Angeles. I was directed to the plane and got on it. I sighed and sat in the seat. Almost there. This was going to be the best Junior year and Senior year of high school. It was already March though. So I was cutting it close to the end of the year with three months left. I sighed and watched as the plane took off. I closed my eyes and knew that this was going to be hard being a new at school. My dad was Police Chief Charlie Swan - with it being a small town everyone knows everything. So I guess everyone knew I was going to be coming to Forks.
Finally the plane landed and I got off it. It was such a great time. This was something that I was looking over. I went to the luggage claim and knew that I was going to be hugged by Charlie. Sophie was probably at the house getting some dinner ready as it was getting late. I walked out of the air port and saw my dad holding up a sign that read my name on it. I walked over and we hugged each other. He grabbed my bags as we walked to his car. It was his police car. I guess that means he rushed here after his shift. I was happy that he had someone like Sophie around the house. This was going to be the best. My birthday wasn't September. Which was just...so far away in my mind. I was only seventeen and I wish I could just be eighteen already! Charlie drove the car into town - I was listening into my ipod. I leaned my head against the window and knew that something like this was relaxing. I took an ear bud out and asked Charlie about the Cullens.
"Dad.." I started to say.
"Yeah Bells?" He asked me.
"Do you know the Cullens?"
"How do you know them?"
"Oh...well, I met Alice and Rosalie on a chatting site."
"Well everyone here in town knows them. There was something about that family, I just can't place it. I never had trouble with anyone of them. They are all good kids. You should be safe with them."
"Thanks dad. I might text Alice and see if I could go over their house."
"You can go over tomorrow after school. We haven't gotten your car yet. So I would have to drop you off at school."
"Ahh, when I can we get the car?"
"This weekend. I hope that's alright with you."
"Yeah! I would love to! I mean not that I don't trust your choices dad."
"That's okay Bells. I hope you are okay with Sophie, I know that this your first time meeting her and everything. Just be nice to her."
We arrived at the house. I looked out the window and smiled - the house was nothing like I thought it would be. It was three stories high. I helped Charlie take the luggage into the house and up to my room. I was on the third floor, which I didn't mind because it was huge! I had my own bathroom - a walk in closet and I was just in love with the room. Everything I shipped here was already unpacked and I could see that it was probably Sophie who unpacked the house. I looked around as my dad left the room. I guess he went to the kitchen to tell Sophie he was home with me. I started to unpack the things I did bring with me. I set my laptop on the desk and plugged it into the outlet. I saw that there were notebooks and new backpack for school. I placed my phone on the charger. My room had a flat screen t.v with my gaming systems and all my games! I couldn't wait to start playing my video games. There was also a chair - a reading chair as I like to think about it. A couch and a futon. I guess the couch would pull out to be a sofa sleeper. I knew full well that the futon would also be a bed. my room was amazing! I walked into my closet and saw that there a section for my make up and a vanity. I always wanted one but Phil never allowed me to wear make up...He thought it was slutty. I was going to start wearing make up. I had to. As I looked at the clothes I noticed that there were also winter clothing as well. I smiled as I knew that they were thinking about me.
Tomorrow was the day. The day I started Forks High School with everyone. I sighed and got into the shower. I wanted to take one because it's been about six hours since I took one last night. As I stood under the shower I started to wonder what my life is going to be like now that I was here. Everything was going to be different - I was going to finally meet up with Alice and Rose! I wonder who they are really. This was something that I was going to get down to. Nothing was going to stop me. I know that they are hiding something from me and I was going to find out what it! Detective Bella Swan is on the case! I giggled to myself. Detective, I always wanted to be a detective. When I was younger and things would go missing I would go and start my detective work! For some reason I was always good at knowing where everything is when it went missing. Finally after my shower - I dried my hair and laid down on the couch that was facing the tv. Everything was going to be fresh, new. Just then I heard my name being called - it was probably Sophie, telling me that dinner was ready.
"I'm coming!" I said as I got up from the couch and walked down the stairs. As I walked into the kitchen I saw a woman with dirty blonde hair and bright green eyes. She must be Sophie. "Hi, it's nice to finally meet you Sophie." I said smiling.
"Ah Bella, it's great to meet you too. Charlie has told me so much about you." She said smiling.
"So what's for dinner?" I asked.
"Homemade pizza. Your dad tells me it's your favorite." Sophie stated as she pulled out the pizza out of the oven.
"It is my favorite. I can't believe he remembered." I sighed. "Speaking of dad, where is he?" I asked looking around and seeing that he isn't in the kitchen.
"Oh he's in the office. Do you mind getting him?" She asked me. "Go down the hall and it's the third door on the left." She said pointing down the hall.
"Alright." I smiled at her as I walked down the hall.
"This place is huge! It's more like a mansion. Why does he need an office? Does he bring work from home? What kind of work?" I thought to myself as I was walking down the hallway to the office.
I knocked on the office door and waited for him to respond. Once I heard his muffled replied, I told him. "Sophie says that dinner is ready!" I said and then I walked back to the kitchen and I sat at the table and I looked at the three pizzas.
"We have cheese, pepperoni, and sausage with peppers and onions." Sophie said smiling at me. "Your dad likes the sausage peppers and onions." She had a look of disgust as she looked at me and then she laughed.
"He's weird." I laughed as she made a face.
"I'm not weird." Charlie said as we walked into the kitchen and kissed Sophie on the cheek. He sat down at the table and grabbed for the slice of pizza.
"Dad - the pizza is pretty gross." I shuddered.
"Oh Bells, you won't know until you try it." He said - of course with his mouth full of food.
"So what time is school?" I asked.
"Ah...about 7am, I'll drop you off and you can hang out with the Cullens after school and during lunch if you have lunch with them." He smiled.
I looked at him and nodded my head. "Yeah, I hope I have classes with them. Alice and Rose are really fun to talk to." I nodded my head.
It was just small talk after that. I never really knew how Charlie met Sophie. She really is nice - but thankfully I don't have to call her mom. She would want me to if she wanted. I guess Sophie really can't have their own kids - she said that if I wanted to call her mom I could but I really don't know if I want to call her mom. I already have Renee. Renee is more like a child in her own way so when I was old enough I would take care of her but she was never there for me when I needed her. When Phil came into our lives I was still raising myself and I didn't even like Phil. I looked at my plate not hearing a sound - I don't if I actually couldn't or if I was just so deep in thought that everything was passing by me so fast. My mom - Renee once told me that the doctors did diagnosis me when I was younger with something but she said she didn't believe any of it. I never knew what it was. She said that it wasn't important for me to know. All I needed to know was that I had panic attacks.
"Bella?" Charlie asked.
I still didn't answer him. I could hear him for that much, but everything in my body was not allowing me to response to him. My mind was like on overload but I have no idea from what really.
"Bella...Can you here me?" Sophie asked. "Charlie...she isn't responding - we will have to take her to the hospital."
"Right." Charlie said.
Next thing I know; I'm being helped up from the seat and to the car. This was really hard for me - I couldn't feel anything. What was going on with my body? I didn't understand this at all. Nothing like this has happened...has it? I tried to think back to when the last time this happened to me but I just couldn't think about it. It was like everything was blocked out.
"Do you want me to see if Dr. Cullen is at the hospital?" Sophie asked.
"Yeah." Charlie said as they got me into the seat.
As they started driving to the hospital I could hear the phone conversation - but of course it was only from what Sophie was saying.
"Hello, I was wondering if Dr. Cullen was still at the hospital" Sophie stated. "He is? That's great. Well we are bringing in Isabella Swan. We don't know what's wrong with her. She just all of a sudden froze over." Sophie added.
"What's going on?" Charlie asked her.
"Dr. Cullen will be able to see her once we arrive." Sophie said.
I don't really know what happened next but I could tell that I went from the car to a hospital bed. I was now staring at a light. The light was on the ceiling and I couldn't look away from it. What was happening to me? I wanted to know. Was this what Renee kept from me?! If she did I didn't want anything to do with her anymore. It's all because of her that this was happening to me now. I wish I knew what was wrong with me to begin with. Was I always this broken on the inside?
"Hello Bella. Can you hear me?" A voice asked me. "I'm Dr. Cullen."
Alice's dad - I wonder if this was going to get back to her that he met me before Alice did. That would be funny to actually see that. I tried to move but I couldn't - I just kept looking at the light in the ceiling.
"Charlie, I would like to talk to Renee." Dr. Cullen said. "I need to know if this has happened before."
"Yeah. Let me go call her." Charlie said as I could hear him walk away.
Charlie POV
"Renee, we are at the hospital. Something happened with Bella. I need you to talk to Dr. Cullen as he ask you questions." I said to her. "She isn't moving or responding to us. Has this happened before?"
"Charlie I don't see why it matters? She only has a few seizure moments that only happen outside of the body.. She doesn't move around like other people - she becomes still. I told the doctor that she wouldn't have one, so he didn't put it in her records. She only got diagnosed with when she hit her head as she fell down the stairs." Renee said.
"THAT WASN'T LISTED IN HER MEDICAL RECORDS!?" I thought. "...Her words are slurred. She must be drunk! I'm going to need custody over Bella."
"Renee, was she given any medications in case they happened?"
"Not that I know of. She only has her panic attack medications."
"Renee, you are unfit as a mother to Bella! You just put her whole life into danger!"
"Fine I'll talk to the doctor."
I handed over the phone to Dr. Cullen as I went to sit next to Bella. I could see her twitching and I could see that Bella was going to have seizure moment - I've seen people have seizures as I on the force.
Carlisle POV
"Hello Renee, I am Dr. Cullen." I said to her. "Now I need to know what I'm missing from her medical records." I was looking at her records waiting for her to respond. I knew that I was missing something. I could see that panic attacks were listed on her records.
"It was last year; Bella tripped and fell down some stairs she had a head injury. She started having little seizures. She only had one major one - she was at school. I can have them send their medical records."
"It's not listed from the medical records from her doctors..."
"The doctor only diagnosed her. He didn't add it to her medical record."
"Thank you for your time."
I hung up the phone and then I could here Charlie calling for me. I sensed that Bella just went into a seizure mode and it was big because she wasn't moving at all and now she was. I ran as fast as I could get to her. As I ran I had nurses get me what I needed so I can sedate her and give her medication and also suggest a service dog for Charlie to get Bella. It would be helpful because the dog could detect a seizure and a panic attack.
