Chapter 1
Coming home is not the something that I am not looking forward to. I am going to live with my dad who I haven't seen in six years and then it was only f0or two weeks at a time. Our relationship is strained but at least we have one. After I enlisted in the army my mum refused to talk to me, I wasn't the perfect daughter she always wanted. the daughter the all the parents oohhed and arred over, with the perfect grads, prefect hair, perfect style and don't forget the perfect boyfriend. that isn't me though. Yes I got the perfect grads but i didn't have to style or the boyfriend. I like baggy clothes and dark colours and stay away from boys. My mum hated this she always tried to change me and one day she went to far and that's the day I decided to enlist in the army. While I was out she decided that is was okay to throw out all my clothes and replace them with what she thought as acceptable clothing and got someone to paint my room pick. When I got home I screamed and shouted at her that was the final straw, I got all the things I could find and went to stay at Sav's house. She was the only one who understood me. After I explained to her what happened she readily agreed to let me stay. the net day we were off and enlisting in the army with only a letter left behind to explain to our parents what was going on. Closing my eyes I tried to repress the memories the battled to come through the wall I built up around them. Ohh how I miss her. NO! I must not go there that place holds to many painful memories. The captains voice breaks me out of my thoughts, I fasten my seat belt and wait for the plane to land.
After collecting my luggage I look for Charlie, spotting near the door to leave I make my way over to him. Giving him an awkward one armed hug we greet each other grab my things and start to walk to the cruiser. We are silent for the journey not needing words to accompany the silence. After the hours drive we finally arrive and his house well I should say mine now as I am living here but its just feels wrong. Helping me with mu luggage he explains to me that he hasn't changed my room. "Errr well I haven't changed your room its still the same I didn't know what you wanted to do with it, I know you loved that room when you came" Charlie put my stuff down walks over to me kisses my forehead and walk out with a quiet "goodnigh" and shoots my door. Being left alone I finally relax and gram a couple of pain tablets and take'em dry. Hopefully they will relieve the pain in my chest. Too tired to show I grab my an d change crawling into bed I turn the light off and let the darkness over take me.
I wake up to the noise of rain on my window. knowing that I have to get up to got see my new doctor I will me self to get out of bed and get change. After getting ready I call a cab making a mental note to get myself a car while I am here. The cab drive is quiet on the way which I am thankful for not wanting to talk. making my way into the hospital I ask the lady where Dr Cullen's office is. Making my way there I wonder what he is like and hope I can convince him to tale away my oxygen so I sleep with out it. The only thing I am thankful for is that I don't have to use it during the day. Sitting down I wait for my name to be called, I am not waiting long. I am pleasantly surprised by how young he is. "Dr . Cullen" I greet him with a hand shake. Wow his hands are cold. I release his hand with a shy smile. "Right then Miss. Swan I have received your notes off your old doctor. I am just going to check your stiches and see how they are healing and then check your breathing I will then you a prescription for your medication and everything will carry one as normal would you like to add anything else?" Dr .Cullen says. "That seems fine but is there anyway you could make it some I don't have to use the oxygen tank at night?" I rely pray that he says yes. "I'm afraid not you still have to use it for the allotted time" he say again with a small reassuring smile. " If you would lie on the bed so I could have a look at your stiches please" moving his hand in the direction of the bed.
I guess he's not so bad but come on he at least could of taken the oxygen tank off me I don't need it but he reassures me I do. Yeah whateva. I decided to walk back instead of getting a cab, its nice walking again after being cooped up in planes and cars for 2 days. With a sigh I start my walk home.
