1I woke up to yet another rainy day in Forks, Washington.
"Bella, honey, breakfast!" I heard Charlie yell from downstairs.
I quickly ran downstairs trying to avoid contact with the floor, when I saw a very unusual sight.
There was Charlie in a cooking apron, trying to make pancakes.
"Uh Dad, what's the occasion?"
I was hopping he wasn't going threw one of those mid-life crisis things.
"Well its not every day Bells that you come to live with me and start school here in Forks with me!" He replied smiling.
"Thanks Dad." I quickly sat down and Charlie served me the least burnt pancakes.
Its been great living with Charlie after Renee' died over the summer. It would be my first year living in Forks and I'm now a Junior. I couldn't wait to start school because it was something to do everyday. Charlie even brought me a truck!
"You know dad, school doesn't start for another week so technically I'm not starting school yet."
" Oh I know but today I just felt like doing something special for you. I want this year to be great you know, after everything this summer."
" Thanks Char-dad, I appreciate it."
He quickly finished his plate and began to do the dishes but I stopped that.
"You going to be late, ill do them." He looked at his watch.
" your right Bells. I love you, ill see you tonight"
"Love you dad bye!"
He walked to the door but turned around and gave me a big bear hug then walked out.
I decided for the day that I would clean up the house. I started with the kitchen but this kind of work was only physical and my mind started to wonder about what just happened earlier. I was wondering what brought all of that out of Charlie. He rarely showed affection. The hug felt as if he was never going to see me again. I quickly got a thought but pushed it away. It couldn't be.
When I was done and the house sparkled, I heard the phone ring and ran to the phone, slipping on the carpet in the process.
"Hello" I asked breathless.
"Hello, is this Isabella Swan, Charlie's daughter?"
"Bella," I immediately corrected him. "This is she."
"Oh I don't know how to tell you this but Charlie just had a heart attack and it doesn't look like he is going to make it."
