~TBW~
He asked me what I did for a living and he asked why it did. The questions were easy enough; my fave color and flower, fave movie and book, where did I grow up. He told me photography was a hobby he loved and he loves getting paid to do it. He has one sister who's married. He told me his parents died in a car crash and I was sad for him, he was alone with his sister living far away. My mom died 2 years ago but I can't remember her much, I'm close with my dad but I haven't spoken to him in a few months, I plan to call him when I get home. He takes me to a bar and grill where he orders baby back ribs and fries, I order a grilled chicken sandwich and fries. While we wait we talk some more.
"So how do you like this date so far?" he asks.
"I'm glad I came" I reply honestly.
"So is it the best date you ever had?" he asks teasingly.
"It's the only date I ever had"
"Really? You never had a boyfriend?"
"I did but we never went on dates"
He's about to ask why when I change the subject, this topic is one I avoid.
"How about you?" I ask.
"I had one serious girlfriend in high school since then I never dated" he replies easily
The food comes and we eat in silence, he pays the bill and we're on our way home. He walks me to my door
"I'm glad I came, I wasn't sure at first because after my boyfriend I have trust issues with men but I trust you" I told him.
"Thank you for trusting me, I would like to see you again if you will let me" he replies.
I smile "I'll let you know. Goodnight James"
"Goodnight Bella"
I walk into my house calm and happy, it wasn't that bad and I just might take him up on a second date. I see I have a message waiting on voicemail and I click the button and listen to my world falling apart. I replay the message over and over just to make sure and I call the number back.
"Hello is this sue Clearwater?" I ask
"Whose calling?" the woman asks.
"Bella swan" I answer
"Oh Bella!" the woman cries and starts to sob.
"Please just answer my question, is my father dead?" I state calmly.
"Yes" she whispers
"How do you know him?" I ask
"Oh Bella me and your father were dating and he was just about to propose when this happens" she sniffs
"Oh, thank you for telling me" I say
"I was lucky he had your number. Are you flying out today or tomorrow?" she asks
"What do you mean?"
'I can book a flight for you and you can be here for the funeral. It's Wednesday" she says
I squeeze my eyes shut at the word funeral "that won't be needed. I'm not coming to the funeral" I state
"Charlie told me he had to force you to attend your mother's funeral but this is your father Bella"
"I know but I can't come"
"I know this is hard for you and you don't like to show emotions I understand but"
I cut her off "you understand nothing I said I'm not going!" I shout into the phone and hang up.
It rings and rings but I don't answer, I text rose the news
Bella-Charlie is dead
Rose- Oh my god Bella is you alright!
Bella- I'm fine
Rose- how did it happen?
Bella-heart attack
Rose- so sorry babe, want me to come over?
Bella- I'm fine but thanks see you at work
I shut off the phone and my emotions; I don't want to deal with anything. I move in auto pilot to my room and stare into space. I lay on my bed staring and staring until I fall asleep and my dreams begin.
Why is bella so calm about this news? why won't she go to the funeral? second date soon?
Dont hate me for killing off charlie, its all in the process.
