I kind of feel like this chapter is filler, because the next chapter is going to be an important one. Again I'm sorry this took so long, school has kept me busy. I won't give up on this story. :) Thanks, peeps. :)
I woke up early knowing that I was seeing Carlisle today. It had seemed so long since I had seen him last.
We got in the car, and made the drive to the hospital. I felt as if I was in a trance as I watched the scenery of Columbus fly by me. I felt my mother look back at me several times. I snapped out of it, and gently smiled at her.
I caught a glimpse of the hospital and my heart leapt into my throat. "Time to get that ridiculous cast off," my father grumbled. We got out of the car, and made our way inside.
My eyes immediately scanned the room for him. I didn't see him at first. He rounded the corner a second later. I don't think the color blue had ever looked so good.
He smiled at us, and it was all I could do not to run to him. Well I couldn't run anyway, so it's a good thing that I hadn't tried.
"Mr. and Mrs. Platt," he inclined his head towards them, and shook hands with my father. "Esme," he smiled, and I gave him one in return. "Let's get that cast off," he said gesturing to the room.
He removed the cast quickly, and it was an odd sensation. I moved my leg from side to side; amazed at the freedom I had once again. My parents weren't in the room with us, they were paying the medical bills most likely. I was quite surprised I couldn't hear my father grumbling from in here.
"Feels a lot better doesn't it?" I nodded vigorously, and he laughed. I loved to make him laugh. He bent down and kissed my forehead, letting his lips linger there. I closed my eyes, and toyed with the buttons on his lab coat.
"When is our next session?," my eagerness didn't seem to surprise him. "I was thinking tomorrow." "Tomorrow is good," I answered quickly. "I left your parents know then," he chuckled. I nodded, and he left the room to tell my parents of the arrangement.
**************************************************************
I woke with a start when I heard a crash downstairs. My leg was better, but I still couldn't run, so I slowly descended the stairs. I caught sight of my mother staring at the floor. I stepped to the right so I could see around her.
I saw the shards of my grandmother's crystal bowl scattered about the floor. My mother stared down intently at it; a hand clasped over her mouth.
"Mother?" She glanced over at me. "Oh, Esme. It fell off the shelf. I was planning on giving it to you on your wedding day." I grumbled quietly. She needed to stop talking about me getting married. "It's okay. I wasn't a fan of that bowl anyway." She sniffled and wiped her eyes. "My mother gave it to me when your father and I wed." "I know, but it's perfectly fine mother. I've never been much for traditions." She swept up th remains of the bowl as I went back to my room to dress.
I sat at the table as I waited for Carlisle to arrive. My mother absentmindedly mumbled about her precious broken bowl. She could be so trivial sometimes. The bowl was ugly anyway, in my honest opinion.
I heard a car door shut and quickly got to my feet. My mother raised an eyebrow. "Relax, Esme. He'll come to the door. Whatever is your problem?" I inwardly scolded myself for my actions. She turned her suspicious eye away from me as a knock sounded at the door.
"Hello again, Dr. Cullen." "Hello again, Mrs. Platt." "Esme seems very eager to get back to walking perfectly again." It was something in her tone that worried me. I could tell that she was suspicious, but she wasn't sure why she was. She just knew something was odd.
"Shall we?," he gestured to the door. I nodded and walked towards him. "Keep up the good work," my mother said as we exited my house.
"See, I told you that you would be walking quickly," he said as he opened my door. "It was much easier than I thought it was going to be." "As I said before, your leg has healed exceptionally well already." I smiled as he helped me into the car. He effortlessly slipped into his seat next to me. "Onward!," I giggled. He took my hand, and placed our intertwined hands on the seat between us.
A/N: The next chapter is going to make things a lot more interesting. :) Thanks again.
