The plane just pulled in to Seattle. It was late September, the start of my senior year. It had been almost 10 years since I seen my father Charlie. My mother took me from him when I was a baby. The funny thing is I think he wanted me more than she did.
He always loved it when I used to visit as a girl but, when mom married pill he wouldn't let me leave. Little did mom know it was because couldn't stand to go without sneaking into my room when he came home. You might ask yourself why not tell her, because Renee wouldn't believe me.
I had a reputation for lying and rebelling and she would think it was a typical Bella behavior. I was also into drinking and drugs, it helped numb me. I wanted so badly to get out of there to end it all. My life was a complete nightmare that I couldn't escape from. So a month ago I tried to end it .I'll never forget the look on her face that night she found me.
(Flashback)
"Bella I'm home," she yelled walking to my room. I had just sat in the tub the blood was flowing in to the water and I just wanted to bleed out till I was nothing. But, Renee cracked the door to ask me a question and screamed. Her face was as if she saw a ghost and twisted with pain and hurt and terror. I knew then that she cared she just didn't know how to show it.
After that night they wanted to put mean the institution but Charlie offered to take me and keep an eye on me. Mom thought the change of scenery would be good for me. Of course Phil disagreed. I was also ordered to do therapy 3 times a week till I was cleared.
So now here I stand waiting to see my father.
"Bella, I missed you so much kid." he said hugging the life out of me.
"Cant breathe Charlie!"
"oh sorry," he said backing away taking in my appearance.
my hair was long and brown with red and blonde streaks. I had my nose, lip and tongue pierced. I was wearing a white tank top the showed off my dermal anchors in my sternum. I had a full sleeve on my right arm and a partial on my left forearm I was wearing black skinny jeans and my black knee high converse.
"You look so different since I last saw you."
"Thanks Charlie," I smiled. He frowned at me calling him Charlie but I barely knew him and how could I call him dad. He grabbed my bags and we headed out. We left I pulled out my killswitch engage hoodie it was raining, like it did 90 percent of the time in forks Washington.
it was a long awkward drive back to forks Charlie talked about the police department and his friend Billy for a bit .then got quiet for a bit.
Then came the conversation I was dreading.
"Bella I'm glad you came here but…" he paused." When I heard what you did it scared me so bad. I thought I had lost you." he was crying a little.
"Listen bells I don't know what made you want to do that. But, if you ever want to talk I'm here. I know I haven't been there for you as much as should have. I'm so sorry for that. But, I'm here now and I want you to get better. I know you don't want to do therapy. But, at least try for me and let me know if anything is wrong ok."
"Look Charlie I ..." he cut me off.
"Bella if you're not ready its fine but, I'm here when you are."
I relaxed it was nice not feeling pressured. I was sure that Charlie's training as a cop helped with that but I wasn't complaining. He changed the subject and I was glad.
"So I got you a car" he smiled.
"What?" I was so shocked no one had ever brought me anything like that.
"Yeah I think you will like it. Plus with your doctor appointments and school you need to get around."
"Wow thank you, I don't know what to say…" I was still shocked.
"Thank you is good enough. I mean it bells I'm happy your here and I want you to get better. "
We pulled in to the small quaint home I grew up in as we pulled up. I saw my car it was amazing it was a big red Chevy classic truck. it need paint but it had personality something cars now a days didn't have.
"Oh my god dad I love it thanks" I hugged him jumping up and down.
He smiled at me calling him dad. Gave me the keys and I hopped inside and it came to life with a big powerful motor.
After I calmed down we went inside. I got to my room it was the same as I had left I when I was 7. Except, it had a desk and computer in it now and a full size bed where my twin had been the boxes I shipped where already in my room waiting to be unpacked. I worked at it for a bit didn't have much so it only took me 2 hours. I put my new stuff up and put my old toys and things away.
Charlie had left me alone and I was glad for that we were a lot alike neither of us where good with feelings and we weren't big talkers that felt the need to make mindless chatter to fill the silence.
Charlie had ordered pizza and it was arriving when I got down stairs I answered the door and there was some guy there with blond spiky hair he had a slight muscular build he had to be a jock.
"Hi sexy how are you?"
"Don't call me that." I said grabbing the pizza
I paid him and slammed the door in his face not leaving a tip. We ate and Charlie. Gave me my school stuff and headed to bed he went to work at 4.
I took a warm shower letting the hot water warm my body, And that's when I realized I was safe. Phil couldn't hurt me here he could never have me again. I grabbed the sponge and scrubbed and scrubbed till my skin was red I wanted any trace of him gone.
I took sleeping pill because, I hadn't been sleeping well and I quickly drifted to sleep relaxing into the safety of my new home.
