Here we go, sorry for the delay
Chapter 3: Phenomenon
It's my birthday today. I got a message from mum and dad, first contact I have had with them since they left me in the long-term car park, two days ago, it says:
-B
Sorry we missed your birthday yesterday,
Do you expect us to remember everything?
-M&D
I mean hello! My birthday is today, and yes I expect you to remember stuff like your sick and dyeing, only child's birthday! I mean they can't really say that the time difference that got them muddled up, there is no time difference!
It has been two days since I moved here, two days since I first met Edward, in those two days I have had four visits from Alice and Aunt Liz, six meals, made eight new friends in the children's ward, and have had 12 visits from doctor Cullen, so all together I think I have used my time productively. Even though Edward asks too many questions, and I have only met him once, I miss his soothing presence.
'Knock, knock, knock,' doctor Cullen called around the door as he stepped into the room. Visit 13. 'Ahhh, miss swan, your awake, I hope you don't me coming so early, I thought we would get the painful stuff done early since its your birthday,' yum his crooked smile looks lovely as ever- not as good as Edwards though, I wouldn't mind unwrapping that gift- 'happy birthday by the way, how does it feel like to be an adult?'
'Well, I feel a lot older, and I think I grew a few grey hairs, and a couple of wrinkles overnight,' I know quite well that people don't like growing up, but to know I have lived to be an adult is an achievement in its self .
'Just be happy you don't look as old as I do.' He said with a chuckle and a flip of his heads, as if to get the non-existent hair out of his eyes.
'What are you talking about Carlisle, you don't look a day over twenty five.' In actual fact he didn't, even if he was in his early forty's.
Just a doctor Cullen was leaving my room with the sample of blood he needed, he turns, 'Just so you know Edward will be joining me today on my rounds, so he will be able to keep you company if you like. Oh and happy birthday!' And then he was gone.
I had showered, dressed and talked to Vicky, the breakfast nurse, before Alice and Aunt Liz came bouncing through the door with more bags than arm space, that was when I knew it was going to be a long day.
'happy birthday Bellieeee! I haven't seen you in forever!' she all but screamed and she bounded from where she dumped her share of bags and on to my bed.
At her stupid remark I rolled my eyes and huffed out that it had only been a total of twelve hours, since she left, and she has been texting her for the past half an hour. At that she just flicked her wrist as if she was dismissing every thing that I said.
'do you want to open the big ones first or the little ones?' she looked up at me as if I should have known what she was on about.
'ummm... I umm..' I looked to Aunty Liz for some help, I knew by the look on her face I really didn't want to know what she was talking about. It was then when my assumptions were confirmed, 'presents' she mouthed, them turning her head slightly and covering her ears. ' Alice!' I wined, 'you know how much I don't like presents-'
It was a good thing she covered her ears, I just wish I had the same Idea before it was too late 'WHAT BELLA! you don't want my presents? You don't know how long it took me to find them all, and what do I get? An ungrateful little turnip how wont even look a them.'
I did feel the slightest bit bad, but I couldn't help myself. 'ha!' I snorted, 'a turnip! You just called me a turnip!' that did it, she turned on me with the only thing that got past all of my defences. The puppy dog eyes! 'ahh please anything but the eyes, you know I cant fight them, there even worse when you- oh Alice please no!' that's when she started to cry.
after the torturous two and a half hours opening my presents, I now have enough clothes to stock three wardrobes, enough shoes to last three lifetimes, an improved collection of my favourite classic books and the cutest white gold necklace I have ever seen.
'oh my god! The necklace is so cute, I love it! Where did you find it?' I rambled on and on.
'Its good that you like it. Mum actually picked it out, she said, and I quote, "like omg this like necklace is so like Bella, I mean like yea" in those words exactly.'
'I don't speak like that! Bella you know that right honey, you know that Alice lies so much these days, don't you?' she went from sitting on my bed to halfway across the room in 0.1 seconds, and was currently holding Alice in a headlock.
'are you sure about that? I thought you spoke like that all the time, I heard just then, "like I don't like speak like that! Like Bella you like now that like right like honey, like you like knows that Alice like lies like so much like these days, like don't you like, like yeah?" did you hear that too Alice?' I knew Aunt Liz wouldn't like us both teasing her but out of her and Alice, she had the best reactions.
'see mum! I'm not the only one who thinks you heed to learn to speak properly. Your precious Bella also thinks that so ha!'
'what ever you say now girls, I think I is best if we leave for the time being, as Bella is looking very tired, and may need to rest.' Aunt Liz let up her hold from around her neck. When she bundled me up in her warm hug, it felt more like home than I have felt in a long time.
I woke to someone opening the door, I opened one eye, to look around thinking it would be a nurse or one of the doctors. There before me were the most magnificent eyes I had ever seen peering back at me. With a strangled gasp I threw myself backwards, trying to escape the intensity. Instead of landing on the other side of my bed I ended falling backwards onto the floor, Edward leaped forward to catch me before I hit the floor, but instead, he made it worse by knocking the bed forward, onto me.
I laid on the floor for a good ten seconds before attempting to get up. As soon as I moved, Edward was right at my side with his hand out. Neither of us had spoken since he had walked into the room, this hadn't become apparent until we both had gotten over the initial fright, his fright was for surprising me so much I fell off the bed, mine on the other hand was the phenomenally surprising visit he was currently making.
Sorry for taking so long to finish, this chapter, my computer wasn't working, then I had to catch up on my home work... and I could go on. I promise that I will get the ext chapter up as soon a humanly possible.
I hope you enjoy this instalment
