Chapter 1- The Accident
This can't be happening! How could I let this happen? What was wrong with me? Good job Bella you just almost killed your father. All I came here to do was to visit Charlie because I knew he missed me. Even though he'd never directly say it. And this is what he gets when I've only been here for a week.
I reached into my jacket pocket to retrieve my cell phone. I unlocked my phone and dialed my mother's number. It rang four times before she answered.
* Phone conversation*
Renee: Hello.
Bella: Mom, its Bella. I uh- um.
Renee: Bella, what is it? Is everything ok sweetie?
Bella: No. I mean yes. Uh- I'm not sure.
Renee: Bella please whatever it is just tell me. Your scaring me.
Bella: I'm sorry mom. Its just. I-.
Renee: Oh my goodness! Bella are you pregnant? I can't believe this, this is why you should of stayed with me. Where's Charlie I need to speak to him, may the lord forgive me. But when I see Charlie I am going to-.
Bella: Mom, please. I'm not pregnant. I'm sorry its just not easy to say. I can't even believe it myself. Charlie's been in an accident. I'm at the hospital right now. Mom, I see the doctor. I have go. I promise to call you. Bye.
"Dr. Johnson how's my dad?" I questioned him as tears began to blur my vision. "He lost a lot of blood and fractured his skull. He has a broken arm and a minor concussion. But he's going to be fine. He needs to be bed rest for at least 2 weeks." He put his hand on my shoulder and then was gone.
I took a deep breathe and didn't bother to fight back against the tears that started pouring down my face. I did this to Charlie. This was my fault. How could I live with myself? Ok Bella, you have to pull yourself together and be strong for Charlie I owed him that. "Ms. Swan you can see your father now." A nurse said to me, pulling me out of my thoughts.
I turned the door handle and entered Charlie's room. "Dad." I whispered not knowing if he was resting. "Bells, hey." He said forcing a smile. I knew he was trying his best to ease my guilt. But it would take more then that. "Dad I'm sorry. I really a-." I broke off mid sentence. My tears wouldn't let me finish. I couldn't control them, and they just kept pouring. Charlie signaled me with his good arm to sit down by him.
"Bells. This isn't your fault. Stop blaming yourself. Honey, please." He wrapped his good arm around me. I couldn't prevent the wave of guilt that washed over me. "Dad. I love you." Even though like Charlie I wasn't very affectionate or the type of person to pour my heart out, I had to tell him. I had almost lost Charlie tonight.
I stayed laying down next to him for the rest of the night. I was fast asleep until I heard someone enter the room. I opened my eyes slowly. "Sorry to disturb you Ms. Swan. But I need to check him." She said with a pleasant smile. I got up and headed towards the bathroom. I washed my face and rinsed my mouth. I looked in the mirror and stared at my reflection for a while until I couldn't stand to look any longer.
I walked back towards my dad and decided that I was going to talk to him about staying here. In forks. I couldn't believe I was going to offer no demand to stay in Forks. But I had to stay to take care of Charlie."Good Morning Bells." Charlie said with a huge grin stretched across his face. I knew he was happy I was still here. I smiled back and waited patiently until the nurse was done with her check up. "Ok all set Chief Swan." She said with a friendly smile. "Dad we have to talk." I said just before taking a deep breathe.
