Dare I
This marks the beginning of something more frightening, more satisfying, than the knowledge of dare I say it, vampires.
"Dear Alice,
I don't know what to do. Days have become hours and hours, minutes and now… things are not as he said they would be. Please, I wish you were here. Please come back…
Forever,
Bella Swan."
As I read it aloud, it seemed superficial and identical to every other unsent email to my old friend. Things have not been the same. I could tell that I lost everything a long time ago- my friends, Charlie, my life. I blame it all on him. He ruined everything and even with that knowledge, I cannot bring myself to say that I hate him. No matter, life outside my self-induced bubble went on and Charlie still went fishing and screamed words at the television during football. Angela and Ben seemed to have gotten serious, and Jessica and Mike, well, they're as good as it comes.
A rumble is heard and Charlie climbs up the stairs into my room . "Bells lets go to the Diner, just you and me?" he asked.
"Alright Dad just let me put on something warmer and I will meet you outside." He nodded and looked back only once this time. Once I closed the door and switched to the lock position, I shredded my clearly worn out shorts and shirt. Looking into the mirror I frowned, since when have my legs been covered in bruises? I don't remember… well maybe I fell off last night or something. Something wasn't right but I pushed it aside and threw on jeans and a fleece. Next thing on was my coat. In the dead of December I was in no mood to have the flu on top of being in the state I have been.
I stuck my head out the door and shivered, a scarf was necessary so as I wrapped myself warm, I locked the door and strode into the cruiser. Charlie looked at me and gave a meek smile. "Bells you okay, you don't look so hot…" he asked. I snorted, but not loud enough for him to hear me, at least I don't think.
"I never look so hot Ch-dad, I'm sure I'm fine" my convincing tone did nothing to convince my father and I knew it. He was right, something wasn't right but he has enough to worry about. The car ride went in silence until we pulled into the diner. I actually was in the mood for some cobbler today so I hopped out and followed dad inside. The immediate heat felt nice and I stripped off my coat and scarf, hanging them on the coat rack.
"Bells I know something really isn't okay, I am taking you to the hospital tomorrow for some tests. This isn't normal and I am not saying you are insane, I'm saying physically, you look like you have been run over by a train. I mean Bella, you are seventeen, and you cannot be moping around. You should be out having fun!" I opened my mouth in protest but his decision was made and I knew if I pulled anymore idiocy, he would be sure to send me back to mom and I couldn't ruin her life with Phil so I kept my mouth shut and nodded. The ride home was silent and uneventful but this silence was uncomfortable and not like the other times. Maybe Charlie was right, maybe I do need a doctor.
