a/n: I'm sorry I left , but I've been really busy with bowling. Just accepted an offer to bowl at a D1 school , full 'ship.
Oh yeah , I'm good. Lol. Jk, I just do what I can.
I redid the chapter. They might be shorter, but they're here.
Chapter Two:
bella
There are only two words that can really and honestly describe how I feel. Crutches suck.
Okay, so I'm throwing myself a pity party but crutches are better than wheelchairs.
Oh, I got ahead of myself for a bit. My name is Bella, Bella Swan. When I was fifteen I was in a car accident with my mom. She didn't make it. I'm sixteen now, and I'm finally getting out of the hospital. You see, the damage to my body was so extensive that I had to have many different surgeries to help me regain mobility.
I don't remember what happened, but evidently it was bad enough that my hips, knees and shoulders were shattered; you can call me bionic woman.
Back to that pity party: I'm getting out of the hospital today, but I have to wait to meet my new foster parents. I sighed and swung my legs out of bed, grabbing my crutches to support me in the process. I got up carefully; it wouldn't be the first time a crutch slipped and I lost my balance. Lo and behold, I still managed to find the slippery spot and would have fallen should a small pale hand not steadied me at the last possible second.
"Are you okay Bella?" A tinkling voice asked. A short girl with spiky raven colored hair helped me get my change of clothes.
I smiled at her helpfulness. "Yes, thank you so much for that. What's your name?" I asked.
"Alice, Alice Cullen. My mom and dad are going to be your foster parents." Now I was really excited.
"Aren't you a year ahead of me in school? Well…I suppose it's two now." She nodded, excitedly.
"Oh Bells, don't worry about that. I'm sure you'll catch up in no time. What else do you need? I'll help you pack." She said, grabbing my bag from the closet. I pointed out everything I needed to bring back with me and I'll admit it wasn't much. She packed it up rather fast and had it on her shoulder, looking at me expectantly.
I nearly laughed at her eager expression. "Yes Alice, I'm ready." I said, slowly crutching over to her. We walked down the halls together, until I got to the ice room. The condensation from the machines leaks under the door and makes the hallway slippery. I was really careful, Alice stayed close, but of course I slipped. Before Alice could react, I fell into a very different pair of pale white arms.
