All I need is a Smile

Jessica walked up the stairs with a determined stride. There she found the door open…she peered inside and she found a room that hadn't been dusted in ages, but was too neat, as if no one lived in it. Then she found the girl she was looking for, rolled up in a ball on the bed. Jessica stood there for a few moments as the sunlight peeked through the curtains, Bella barely stirred.

She frowned as she walked in as silently as she could into the room. She turned to stand in front of Bella, whose eyes were closed and body was shivering.

Jessica whispered. "Bella, wake up. I need to talk to you."

Bella's eyes opened in surprise. "Ed…Oh it's you."

Jessica frowned. "Bella, are you still thinking of him? It's been a month, I barely see you at school and when I do…you almost look dead. Then when we went out last week...you could have killed yourself. Are you really that stupid?"

Bella's eyes fluttered to my face. "I don't know. I didn't mean to make you worry…I'm sorry."

Jessica's face calmed. "I don't want you to be sorry. I want you to know that you're not alone. Don't you understand that? There's more to life than some guy."

Bella's face was hurt. "He wasn't some guy. I love him. I can't feel without him."

Then Jessica slapped her face. "Did you feel that? There is more to life than him. I love you and so do your father, your mother and all your other friends. I know you love us back so start acting like it. Otherwise we'll all leave you like he did and then where will you be—

"Dead on a road, lying in this bed…or worse. You're better than that Bella Swan, so start acting like it. I'll meet you down stairs at nine o'clock. You, I and Angela are going shopping. So you better be ready when we pick you up."

At that Jessica left the room, feeling rather pound of herself. Bella touch her cheek. It was still stinging. She smiled as she got up. It was nice to know she could still feel.
