Spending a week in a hospital after being in this place for just under a month now is really not cool.

Luckily no one came to visit, except for the maids. That is, until my farther - the leading man himself – will be able to pry himself away from his work and come see his child. Who, by the way, has been doing food appreciation classes with other girls who look so sick and skinny, that it looks like it hurts to breathe.

I was dreading that day, but there were a few things that I hadn't had time to think about before.

Firstly, the weirdness of my first night walk, the boys name was 'Ed' then I meet Edward. Secondly, all the looks Edward had been giving me since then; the way he almost looked for my permission to dance with Tanya that night, the way his whole family hadn't spoken to me since school started, then Jasper speaks to me for the first time.

All of my encounters with them were so different from what I thought they would be.

Maybe it's just my inexperience with people, who knows? But what was most weird was the way Edward left the forest when we were doing our Art project; it was the weirdest thing of all. Then him talking angrily with Alice, I don't think I can even comprehend what that was about.

So now, a week later, I am stuck in a bed, with only one tube stuck in me. I have no answers, just a bunch of dead ends.

But on top of that, no one has come to see me. Not even Alice, Emmett or Jasper. Edward I can understand. He would not want to see me; he was nothing more than my Art partner after all. I thought I had maybe found some friends in the other three, even a little bit in Rosalie. Maybe I got it wrong.

While thinking about that, Carlisle walked in. He smiled and went to my charts to see how I was 'improving', though I thought I was fine. I kept protesting everything they wanted from me. Carlisle told me that if I didn't cooperate, I would be in longer. So I just decided instead to take a vow of silence and not talk to anyone.

I would just smile and nod, and then look away and nod or shake when needed. I was sitting on a chair looking out the window when Carlisle spoke up.

"Lolly, you are getting better but not majorly. You still need to be here a little bit longer, and in half an hour you are going to meet with Dr. K. He is a psychologist, and he wants to have a word with you." He left the room then to let me sit with my thoughts. What was he going to ask me? Would he want to know about my past? Well this was just getting better and better. I have to see a psychologist, and my father is coming here soon.

I was thinking about things I could say instead of letting him know me, when there was a knock on my door and a man walked into the room. He was tall and skinny with a white beard. He sort of looked like a skinny Santa Claus.

"Hi there, Elizabeth-Lillian is it? I'm Dr. K nice to meet you." He said, I smiled and motioned for him to sit.

"Call me Lilly." Was all I said to him, I still wasn't quite over the reaction I got from Emmett when I said Lolly; so apart from the Cullen family everyone called me Lilly.

"Lilly then, so I'm here to talk to about why you have been in here for a week now is it?" He asked, I looked at him and just shrugged and went to looking out the window.

Not speaking had been working in my favour for the past week, because I didn't argue with them. I just did as they said and asked, so they thought they were getting through to me but I was just humouring them.

"I was told that you fainted in your home and you were brought in because they didn't know what happened, but the doctors found more than anticipated when they gave you a check up."

He persisted, but I just looked at him gave him a small smile and shrugged again.

"Have you not spoken all week?" He asked, I nodded but kept looking out the window like there was something interesting out there.

"Is there a reason why you have not been speaking Lilly?" He kept trying to get me to speak. I just shook my head.

"I've also been told your father will be down soon to see you." I looked at him and almost let him see the true horror in my eyes at the thought of having to see that man. Then I looked back through the window with determination on my face to show it didn't make a difference to me and shrugged once more.

"Well, I guess I will come back later when you are feeling more talkative."He finally gave in and left. I took a breath, leaned back on my chair and closed my eyes. I had been strong this whole week, on my own, pretending I cared what they said. I didn't think I was sick just because I didn't eat all the time; it's been like for years. Since mum was gone, I never ate much.

I was sitting still with my eyes closed thinking about how much I wanted to be out of here and in the forest when once again there was a knock at my door. I thought it would be Dr. K again, so I walked over, with my drip in my arm, tracksuit pants and jumper on, and opened the door.

There stood a very happy looking Emmett and Alice; I just walked back to my bed. Though I'd been doing what they asked, eating all the food they had been making me eat. It had been making me sick. When they thought I wasn't going to throw it up they left and I would be sick in the bathroom.

Luckily I was by myself so no one heard me, but they thought I was doing what they asked, but by eating all that food it was exploding my stomach so I would end up sicker than before. I sat silently on bed and looked at them. Their faces had fallen slightly when they saw me.

I knew I was sicker, but it was because I was in here, not anything else, it was all the stupid doctors' faults.

"Lolly! I've missed you! You haven't done anything funny in ages!" Emmett burst out, pouting to emphasise his statement. Alice hit him in the arm and looked at me,

"Hey Lolly, how are you feeling? I know we haven't been in to see you; the whole family has wanted to see you. But Carlisle told us that you were in no condition to be seen. It took me and Emmett all week to convince him, Emmett even followed Carlisle around every time he was home saying 'can we go see her, can we go see her'." Alice said, in one big breath. I was happy they were here and thought it would be okay to talk to them.

"It's fine guys really, you don't have explain yourselves." I said, my voice was very husky because I hadn't spoken in ages, hell, I haven't even sang in ages, and it is a calming thing I do.

"Here have some water," said Emmett passing me a glass.

"Thanks Emmett." I replied taking a huge drink, it felt good on my harsh throat from being sick so much, stupid hospitals.

"So what's been happing while I've been in isolation?" I asked lightly.

"Well not much, you're the main subject in conversation for the past week because you have been in here. There have been some stupid rumours going around." Alice said quite, angry then, but Emmett cut in.

"They are actually really funny and stupid; some are saying you were shot, some are saying you were attacked by an animal in the forest, some are saying that you are getting a heart transplant. The list goes on and on, it's hilarious!" Emmett said laughing, I couldn't help but join in.

"Something not so funny is that Mike Newton has been saying he is your boyfriend and he's been seeing you after school every day and you are getting better from a case of pneumonia." Alice said with ice dripping from her voice.

"Don't worry, Lolly. Jasper, Edward and I will sort him out for you." Emmett looked very intimidating all of sudden, but then softened and smiled. But what hit a cord was that he said Edward would defend me, last time I was with Edward he seemed to get offended that I had said I didn't like my blush. I looked down at my hands that were getting bonier now.

"I don't think you should bother Edward with issues involving me." I said quietly.

"But why Lolly?" Emmett looked really confused.

"Because I don't think he likes me much." I confessed.

"Yes he does Lolly! He likes you as much as the rest of my family!" Alice replied,

"Last time I was with him I said something that seemed to upset him, and before I was out for the count, I saw you and him having a heated discussion outside your house." I said
looking into her eyes to see if she understood. I was a little scared to see Edward again. He looked so shocked, then mad, like really, really mad.

"Oh that." Was all she said.

"Exactly my point, I did something to upset him and I know he won't bother." I said quite sad now.

"Oh Lolly don't worry about him! He's more of a knuckle head than a rock!" Emmett said and broke the tension. Alice started to laugh and so did I, that's when Carlisle and Dr. K walked in.

"So Lolly, I see you are more talkative." Carlisle said with a smile. I blew a kiss to Alice and Emmett, got off my bed and went to sit on my chair by the window again. I looked out the window thoughtfully.

Two days came and went like the rest of my time in here and at 12.30 on Wednesday my father walked into my room. I was looking out the window when he walked in. I got up and walked over to him. He looked at me then gave me a stiff hug.

I looked at him once more then went back to my chair. He sat down on my bed and looked uncomfortable. He had a business suit on and a trench jacket and a black hat to cover his receding hair line. I went back to looking out my window; I could feel his dull brown eyes piercing me. His face always looked dawn out, kind of droopy. Then he spoke.

"Elizabeth, we must talk." He stated.

"What do you want?" I said as icily as possible.

"Well it's been a week and a half and you haven't gotten any better. What are you doing to keep yourself unwell? Why are you being so selfish?" He sounded bored and like he couldn't
care less, just wanted to punish me for something out of my control.

"Nothing, I am doing nothing. I just do the work sent from school and look out my window." I said, still looking out the window.

"You are always doing this to me. Being reckless and doing stupid things to cause me trouble." He said angry, now I got up, pushed my IV drip towards him and stood in front of him with a look of pure hatred.

"Yes, I did this just to create some drama, I was quite bored and thought it would be fun to disturb you."

"Don't use that type of sarcasm on me Elizabeth-Lillian," he used my full name to prove he meant business, "Your mother taught you better."

"My mother was one hundred times the parent you are." I said coldly looking him in the eye.

"Don't you dare be rude to me." He was fuming now.

"At least I didn't kill her." I said with the purist of hatred on my face.

Then, he slapped me.

"I will not tolerate this manner from you." He said standing, looking down at me; I was on the floor because I didn't have the strength to hold my ground. He walked out with a 'good bye' and 'I'm leaving on the first plane out of here', and he was gone.

It took me 10 minutes before I was able to pull myself up off the floor. I knew the bruise wouldn't show up for another couple hours, and I knew it was going to be a bad one and very visible on my right cheek.

I was laying on my bed when I noticed a young girl with dark hair and glasses was standing in my door way with a bunch of flowers in her hand.
"Hi there Lilly, I know you probably don't remember me, but I'm Angela Webber from school. I volunteered to bring you some get well presents on behalf of the students of Forks High." She said sweetly.

I smiled back her and motioned for her to sit on my bed, she walked over and handed me a card and some flowers. I placed them in a vase next to my bed and put the card in front of them.

"Thank you so much." I said nicely. She wasn't an evil hospital person, so I had no reason not to talk to her.

"Oh it's no problem; I just thought it would be nice to meet you properly." She smiled.

"You are too kind, I'm nothing to fuss over," I said looking at her happily, "hey, has anything happened to Mike Newton? I've been told about him making up those rumours about me and him dating..." I asked curiously.

"Oh yeah! Emmett and Edward Cullen and Jasper Hale all got him to stand up in front of everyone in the cafeteria and tell them that he wasn't dating you. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen! Then, when he finished Edward walked in front of the other two and said that if he ever came within 20 feet of you he would personally show him the true meaning of pain." She finished excitedly.

"Edward said that?" I asked. Why would he do that?

"Yeah Mike looked really, really scared when he was warned and went away to his table." She replied simply.

"Well thank you very much for the flowers and the school gossip; it was a real pleasure to meet you." I said honestly, but I had had enough talking for now.

"Oh any time, nice to meet you Lilly." She said, then got up and left.

I spent another week in there and I slowly gained some more weight and they let me go home, but I had to have weekly checkups with Carlisle, which was convenient because he said I could go to his house instead of the hospital. It was Friday by the time I was actually allowed out, they wanted me to have one last food appreciation class, which were held on Thursdays.

Getting home I was so excited, I just went into my room and turned some music on. I had so much pent up energy from putting on a nonchalant facade, and I danced and danced like crazy. I was also singing at the top of my lungs; 'False Pretence ' by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus came on and I started to head bang and I jumped on my bed and played air guitar.

The bruise on my face was plain and visible still. When they asked me about it in the hospital, I said I just walked into the bathroom door. They believed me no sweat, only Carlisle seemed sceptical.

I lay on my bed and waited for the next song; it was a song from one of my recitals for dancing I had done years ago. I can dance most genres, but I prefer ballet. I know I can sing well, but I only do that for my own release, a way to calm myself.

It is an easier way to become calm than to start dancing where ever I am. At home, in my room, I could dance all I wanted. I paused the song, went to my cupboard, got my point shoes out and played the song. As I started to dance, I remembered the whole routine easily.

I was watching myself in the mirror and laughed; I am not weak, I just have a dancer's body. I was born with this body and all their nonsense was for no real reason.

I was having so much fun that I decided to get a bar installed into my room by my window; I would still be able to sneak out through the window but now I could dance too.

I spent all weekend at home, feigning that I was still 'recovering', but I was just having fun on my own dancing and stretching on my ballet bar.

Angela Webber came over on Saturday afternoon, just to see how I was again. She never once asked about me being sick or anything, she was such a pleasure to spend a couple of hours with.

When she left I went back to just lying around in my room. That Monday I would be going back to school and I wanted as much alone time as possible before then. I had done all the catch up work; it was simple except for the maths work, which took some concentration.

Sunday evening rolled around and I was just happy that I had my own freedom back; I could do whatever I wanted and not have to worry about the consequences.

On Monday I got up at the right time, I had enough time to get ready slowly but I wasn't up too early either. I did wake up with a shock but that was normal, I was happy just to have had a normal night sleep in my bed, in my own home.

I went to school and I was flooded. There were people everywhere, asking how I was. There were boys wanting to carry my bag and books, girls looking at me worriedly as if we were best friends. Angela popped up and she helped shoo away the people and helped me get to my first class; Psychology.

"Ms. Rose, nice to see you back again fighting fit." Said my Psychology teacher; Mr. Doherty, or 'Doherz' as everyone else calls him.

"Thank you Mr. Doherty." I said kindly and sat down.

The whole morning I was continuously asked how I was going by people I didn't even know, it was horrible. I would just say I'm doing great and try and walk away. By lunch I must've said I was fine at least 753,678,335,787 times, I was so sick of people talking to me that when the lunch bell rang I nearly ran outside to my little spot that luckily had some trees hiding it from immediate sight.

I sat looking into the forest, just listening to wind; I loved the sound it made. I heard someone clear their throat from behind me, thinking it was Mike I went to tell him to leave me alone,
I was stopped because it wasn't him.

"Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice what are you guys doing out here?" I asked trying really hard not to notice that Edward wasn't with them. Emmett was the one to speak first;

"Well, we know you sit by yourself and we didn't want Mike to come and talk to you when we already warned him to keep away." Jasper gave him a high five and they both started to
laugh.

"We also came down to give you some company and to make sure you have had some lunch," Alice said with a smile on her face, "Carlisles orders." She stated simply.

"Oh well ugh, I'm not very hungry, I had a big breakfast." I said, when n fact I had only eaten a piece of toast, I was just not hungry.

"Well you are at least going to have something small, because I don't believe you." Alice was very firm on that, so I got a jelly cup out of my bag and ate that. "Happy?"

"Very." Said Alice

"Have you eaten yet?" I asked since they didn't have any food with them.

"Yeah, me and Jasper has last period off so we ate then and Rosalie and Emmett have next period off so they can eat whenever." Said Alice, happy she got me to eat, though I felt kind of queasy.

"Oh that's lucky for you." I said rubbing the side of my head, I took a Tylenol and felt much better within a couple minutes.

"So, you are probably wondering where my knuckle head brother is," Said Emmett, smiling at the new nick name for him. "He said he had some photos to print up and he has gone to pick them up for one of his classes."

"In other words, he's not avoiding you, he was just busy." Rosalie chimed in.

" Oh okay cool." Was all I could say because rounds of butterflies were doing flips in my stomach, the photos were from our art project excursion. We had Art next, woohoo.

I got to my art class early and got all my sketches of the forest out. I started on touching them up from memory as the class was filling slowly. I kept my head down and continued to work, when I heard the chair screech along the lino floor just for emphasis that someone was going to sit there.

We didn't say anything to each other for most of the class. It was sufficiently awkward the whole class. I just kept drawing, once I was finished the ones from the places we had gone together, I decided to draw one of my private clearing. Then Edward spoke up;

"How are you today?"

"Fine thank you, how are you?" I said politely, I was not planning on letting him know he had hurt me and sacred me last time I saw him.

"Not so good actually, I was wondering if you would answer a question of mine?" he asked, so he was looking for an answer from me when I had about 13,543,876,645 of my own questions for him.

"Only if you answer some of mine then." I prompted.

"Okay but here is not the place, how about after school, in the parking lot?" He suggested.

"Whatever suits you." I said and went back to drawing.

I was going to get my questions finally answered.

Yeah so hope you liked it! Tell me what you think in a review!! Just 5 and you get another chapter :D ughh, if I remember anything else I will let you know :D
