Black Swan Resto Bar, Portage Bay

Maybe this is my fate, a punishment, or maybe a mere thing that the heavens found funny to inflict upon me. I hate my life, I admit, it gets worse and worse until I ended up like this, stucked and can't get too far. It sure as hell not fucking funny. I don't know the meaning of my life and why do I keep going on even though I don't have a good reason that benefits me. I'm starting to feel tired of everything…. My dreams shattered and that's just what's keep me going on before...

December, three days after Christmas and the weather is stable. I'm used to the cold but I don't like it very much, especially if you are living in Forks. You know, the coldest place in the west coast and a very small town. I looked out of the window and was thankful that it had cleared outside and the snowing is light, though there's still thin ice on the road.
I snatched my worn brown coat from my computer table and put it on as I rushed outside, careful downstairs. I managed not to trip. Charlie wouldn't be home till eight so I posted a sticky note to the door of the refrigerator telling that I'll head out to Jacob's. He can help himself with the pasta I cooked earlier anyways.
I just grabbed my Chevy's keys, cellphone and my flash drive that I needed. Jacob's my bestfriend from La Push and he helps me with remixes. I downloaded new songs and decided to let Jake help me with it, I also owe the Res a visit. I started walking towards my truck after locking the door. I fell on the ground on fours, cursed at my banged knee, then get up again. I quickly slipped inside and turn on the engines, the truck shook violently that clattering my teeth before it roared to life. It's maybe an old geezer but I don't think I can replace it. I pulled from the front of the house to the road and drive. Charlie had changed the tires so I'm not worrying about it, plus I maintained a good speed. I remembered that I forgot to call Jake to tell him. I picked my phone and pressed long on 2. Six rings after, he answered.
"Hey Bells. 'Ya called?" Jake's voice greeted and asked.
"Yeah, sorry. Are you doing anything tonight?" I asked, my eyes fixed ahead.
"Why? Taking me on a date?"
"Dude, I don't even know which side I'm playing." I said between my chuckles. "But if I might happen to like boys, then you'll be the first one. So?"
"Nope, nothing " I can hear some noise from the background and he cursed. "If you're coming over here, my laptop just broke."
I rolled my eyes. Jacob isn't the best person taking care of gadgets, he also play too much consoles and RPG ,tend to break his laptop or computer and unable to fix it himself.
"What happened this time? Seriously, a Jacob-proof laptop should be created don't you think?" I joked and chuckled a bit. He laughed sarcastically.
"Lame. Anyways, I was playing Warcraft then the screen turned blue. Damn this thing."
"Damn yourself."
"I decided to make a U-turn on the road to go back and get my laptop.
"Huh?" He asked.
"Nothing dweeb. I'll be there in fift—"

A loud honk made me pause when I swerved to the left. I turn my head to see a delivery truck that seems out of control, rushing towards my direction.
It was all too fast. The delivery truck crashed at the left side of my Chevy, the sound of the collision filled my ears while my eyes are tightly shut. The force was so strong and I was being thrown and slammed repeatedly. The air knocked out of my lungs and my head slammed on something. The last thing I remembered is the numb conscious state and being upside down before my eyes rolled back.

When woke up, mom and Jacob are the first persons I saw in the room. My vision was blurred at first. I can barely move and still felt numb. I couldn't move my eyes, fingers and toes. I managed to lift my left hand a bit and felt a sharp pain. Mom is moving her mouth, so is Jacob. But I can't comprehend any single words from them. What's happening? What had happened?

I tried to open my mouth but no words are coming out. My heart quickened and my chest tightened in pain, I was panicking. Tears fell from my eyes. Mom pushed Jacob and he quickly ran outside. Within seconds, he came back with a doctor and nurses, Charlie was the last one. The doctor was saying something as well as everyone else and he looked at me with sympathy. He injected something on the serum tube connected to my right hand and wiped my cheeks. I had lost my consciousness again.

When I woke up again in the same room, I didn't move instead watched my parents rushed beside me with Jacob and the same doctor. The doctor leaned down and spoke near my ears.
"Bella?"

I could only nod.

That day, I had have gained some feeling and was able to move my limbs, also hear better. They gave me time for that and I tried asking them but I couldn't make any words out of my mouth. Doctor Cullen was able to calm me down and told me what he guessed I should know.
I was unconscious for more than a month after my car accident. I suffered blood loss from the major injury in the head and under my left ribs. I undergo tests and CATs. I'm not stupid not to know what they had found out. They said it is a Traumatic Brain Injury and I had a cerebral hemorrhage. The unfortunate result, I had lost my voice.
It was the nightmare of my life.

Alice doesn't understand her life. All her life, she gives but doesn't takes, only accept those willing help from her friends. She tries finding out what was wrong with her or from what she did, she can't figure it out. She keeps on going, the ever optimistic girl she is.
Why does she always get fooled and hurt? That's the question she's been yelling inside her.
She never understand him, but she knows that Jasper had hurt her. He swept her off of her feet, but he really just fooled her.
She can't stop her tears from falling and she wiped it with her own palms. She held the steering wheel, gripping on it like it is the last thing that she can hold on to.
Most of the bars, restaurants and shops are close during this late of night. Now she's starting to feel more stupid but didn't regret what she's doing. From California, she drive mindlessly and stayed for two nights in a hotel at Oregon, and now she ended up in Seattle. You think this only happens in melodramatic movies, but hey, it is possible to a heartbroken girl who downed his ex-boyfriend's most expensive wine after their breakup. She bolt right after she had crashed Jasper's place, drunk driving away from the city.
She knew something was off with Jasper for months now, he was cold and always make up excuses when she asks him what was up. She had foreseen them drifting apart but wasn't accepting it, instead she focused on him, trying to make him happy.
The serious relationship they had for over three years, shattered, when she visited him at his office, when he revealed it all to her. For now, she feel a little better in escaping everything like Jasper, her parents, her career. She felt free and loose, she can do anything she wanted without people criticizing her. She even turned off her phone so no one will bother her.
The night is still beautiful, the view of the Portage Bay is magnificent with the lights and the bridge. She saw a nice bar with a patio on the bay. A few drinks would make her feel better. She parked her yellow Porsche and turned off the engine.

The chilly air blows from the north. The hair on her neck stood up but she ignores it. Bella is leaning on her back on the railing with a bottle of an empty beer on her hand, her long mahogany hair tied in loose ponytail. She checked her wristwatch, noting that it'll be two more hours before Jacob and Leah will close the bar. Her breath fogs and she watched it vanished. It was gone and her attention shifted to the lone figure sitting at the table near the window. The girl has a short hair that is in perfect style of spiky pixie cut and she seems rich based from what Bella observed from her clothes and accessories. The said girl looked out of the window lazily, staring out of the bay, unaware that someone is watching her. Bella pushed her black framed glasses to the bridge of her nose with her forefinger. Tyler, one of the waiters, greeted the said stranger and put a glass of brandy in front of her. Bella hardly saw her give a brief smile before Tyler goes back to the counter with Jacob. She can tell something is making the girl broody and it doesn't fits her at all. When the waiter was gone, Alice stared out of the window again and drink from the glass of brandy. She watched the boats in the waters and the lights in the bridge.

It's almost one am and the bar is filling out of people, it's been an hour since she keeps drinking. She had brandy but later settled with the full glass of beer. Her parents would be so disgruntled if they saw her now. It was her second beer that she decided to get up and walked outside to the patio. The cold air greets Alice once she stepped outside and she sighed with content. Her nose is pink and her face a bit red from the alcohol. She saw the bench at the end empty and decided to go there.

Bella has been watching this stranger for maybe more than an hour now, she doesn't know why her attention got piqued on the petite ravennette.
Maybe it was how funny Mike tried to hit on the girl earlier. She had said something that made him tucked his tail between his legs and walked away. Then she also ordered a large cookie that somehow amused Bella.
The girl stepped outside to the patio and walked to the other side, noticing that she swayed a bit. The girl sat, put down her half glass beer on the table and leaned her head on the railing.
Bella sat on a different table too and pulled out a phone. She set the camera fixed on the unmoving figure, the dancing lights from the University building, bridge and yachts are in the background. She can't help taking a picture. She also zoomed in to see the girl's face but disappointed that her hair is blocking her face and it's a dark in her place.

The wind chimes' sound and the air blowing made Alice closed her eyes. It was surreal, being in this place now with a light feeling, or maybe it's just the alcohol. She can't care anyway.

Leah watched their last drunk customers goes out after she bid them goodbye. She looked up to the old grandfather clock.
Jacob, let's close." She called out to her boyfriend who is in the counter and cleaning up for the last time. She turned the sign close on the door. They already made their employees go home earlier so it will be them who can take care the rest.
"Just a sec babe." Jacob said and untied his apron.
"Call Bells alright. I think she's still outside, she might catch a cold." She reminded. Jacob pecked her lips when he passed by her. He winked at Leah and saluted before going outside. She can't help chuckling at his antics. She goes to the counter to check the cash.

"Yo Bells." Jacob said and his bestfriend jolted. He laughed a bit and Bella rolled her eyes at him.
"Stop watching her, its creepy y'know." He teased when he saw the familiar figure on the other end. Jacob seen Bella watching the new customer since she entered the bar.
She forgot that Jacob is in the counter and can see her outside by the large window. She typed on her Galaxy Note and show it to Jacob.
'You know her?'
Jacob read the words. Bella is still unable to speak since the accident more than two years ago and she refused to use sign language all the time because most people doesn't know how, so she used her phone.
He shook his head. "Nope, never even saw her around here before. Anyways, we didn't knew that she's still here."
'I think she fell asleep.' She typed again.
"Well, wake her up. We're closing." Jacob said with a smirk and walked away before Bella could protest. She wanted to shout that he's crazy. What should she say? Not to mention, she can't even speak.
He was inside again, leaving her alone to do her task.
Bella mentally groaned as she get up from her seat. She grudgingly walked to the other end of the patio, cursing Jacob in her head.
When she reached the table she suddenly felt nervous and excited, excited to see the girl's face that amused her tonight. She's having an internal battle of how she should wake her up.

Bella peered down to the girl's face and was stunned to see her sleeping peacefully. She has long thick dark eyelashes that touches her fair delicate skin, her face shaped of a heart and her cute nose is pink probably from the cold, even her soft lips slightly parted. The beauty of the stranger is striking even when she sleeps. It reminded her of snow white, in slumber waiting for a true love's kiss.

Alice woke up when she felt someone staring at her. She opened her eyes and yelp in surprise to see someone's doe like brown eyes staring at her. Thankfully, they weren't that close or maybe she might punched the stranger.
Bella moved away and felt herself blushing furiously for staring at the girl, but it did worked at waking her up. Before she could throw the glass of beer towards Bella, Bella is waving her hands, trying to communicate to the girl.
Alice stopped herself after seeing that it was a girl and confused at what she's doing. She watched the bespectacled girl waving her hands with gestures, like what she sees the interpreter does.
Bella paused and slapped her forehead, the girl couldn't understand her.
"Uhm what?" Alice asked. Her wind chimes like voice getting Bella's attention. Alice, feeling the obvious embarrassment of the tall girl, stared at her. "Sorry, is that sign language?"
Bella nodded, still flustered. Alice 'oh'-ed at that, confirming that the girl can't communicate verbally.
She watched her pulled out a phone and typed on it. Bella showed it afterwards.
'I'm sorry, I was 'bout to wake you up.'
"It's fine." Alice assured and feel awkward, confused at the taller girl with eyeglasses.
'By the way, we're actually closing so that's why I had to wake you." Bella showed her phone again, scratching behind her ear and unable to look at her again. Alice looked around her and realized that she was right. She looked at her watch and it's passed one am.
"Oh no. I'm sorry. I'll just pay then leave." With that she stood up and was a bit dizzy but Bella kindly hold her by arm. She smiled at her and apologized again. Bella could only nodded with a small smile of her own.
Bella carried the glass of beer and walked behind the tipsy customer. They entered inside and Alice pay for her bills.
"Are you new here, staying in a hotel?" Leah asked casually, glancing at their mute best friend who is rolling her eyes at the grinning Jacob. Jacob had told her about what happened and they secretly watched the two earlier from the side of the window.
Alice smiled as Leah gives back her credit card. "I just stopped by here, getting a hotel later."
"If you want, you can come back here on Tuesday. We have the specials. Our friend's bests of course."
Leah invited, inclining her head to their friend and Alice get what she meant. Bella cooks the specials, her own recipes. A fact that amused her greatly about the mute. When the mischievous blue eyes met her innocent doe like brown eyes, Bella didn't look away. They were a bit hypnotized at the mystery of each other.
"Will do. Thank you again." Alice said at Bella with a smile, which returned. Alice found Bella odd in a good away and she think that they will be really good friends despite Bella's disability to speak. She just has this gut feeling to know her. They will be really good friends.
"By the way, Jacob Black, this is my girlfriend Leah." Jacob broke. Alice shook their hands.
"Leah Clearwater."
"Alice, Alice Brandon." Alice introduced and looked at Bella, her hand extending. "You are?"
"Our friend here, Bella Swan.
Alice got surprised by the name. Bella noticed it and her pale cheeks turning to blush, she took her hand nonetheless. Their hands stayed on each other for a bit long which didn't escaped to the two other people observing them.
"Really? As in Bella and Swan." Alice asked in amusement, still not letting the hand go. Bella grinned and nodded, though blushing. They let go each other's hands but still feeling their touches lingering.
"That's... really unique.
Alice complimented their bar before saying her goodbye to the three friends and bar owners she met. She smiled brightly at Bella which returned by the taller girl.

Alice knows she won't forget Bella Swan, not that's because she's mute but her genuine smile and her name that suits her perfectly.
